Design Of Community Center To Re- Activate The Urban Redundant Space In Magelang Through Inclusive Design Approach

Abstract

Begins with the issue of limited land and the high price of land in urban areas, causing social neighboring conflicts. Take a case on Tentara Pelajar crossroad in Magelang it cannot be denied that the density in urban areas can result in neglected or underused areas which give the impression of being slum and not in accordance with the principle of appropriate land use. Oddly enough this invites the appeal of street vendors to sell in a sidewalk area intended for road users. Closed pathway, the surrounding environment becomes crowded and spatial conflict cannot be avoided This abandoned place should be able to be converted into a space function that is beneficial to the surrounding community, in fact this potential area continues to be bankrupt and neglected. Magelang square area is a unique part where various communities are mixed in one area. the importance of unity and tolerance between communities, especially religious communities, can strengthen cultural diversity, however, the government's lack of attention has an impact on the perspective of each community. How to provide a place that can unite the community so that they can get to know each other and carry out religious events. this needs attention to strengthen tolerance between communities. Responding to the above problems, it is hoped that designing Community Center in redundant space with inclusive design approach can contribute to managing abandoned space, activate unused space in urban and also can be used by everyone (design for everyone).
