One of the historical locations in the Special Region of Yogyakarta is Kotagede,
which is connected to a number of sites related to education, history, society, and culture,
especially Javanese cultural heritage. Every element of the Kotagede community's house
has a very unique story value that needs to be recognized and preserved so that it is not
lost. The phrase "tadhah alas" is often uttered in the area beside the seats in front of the
houses along the village street. This building intends to define the idea of tadhah alas as a
place of social interaction for the Kotagede community in front of houses and residential
areas. Over time, the function and use of tadhah alas has undergone some changes and
transformation. The transformation can be felt by residents ranging from the radius of
users, and shape, to the location of the tadhah alas itself. In this research, observation, field
surveys, and in-depth interviews with a number of local residents are the approaches and
methodologies used. This paper is limited to the condition of tadhah alas in the Kotagede
community as we know that the term tadhah alas only exists in Kotagede. Tadhah Alas
serves as a gathering place for the people of Kotagede. This has been done repeatedly and
still continues to be done today as a result of the past.
