Abstract

Madureksan Street is a street located to the east of the Kudus Minaret Mosque area. The mosque is a religious tourist attraction that has many tourists and there is also a tomb so many pilgrims come. The existence of a tourist attraction there creates a space or place for local people to sell and use the existing space as a shop. So along Madureksan Street there are various types of shops. Many sell souvenirs, objects synonymous with Islam, food, and much more. However, there is an interesting phenomenon where people tend to gather or buy goods from certain shops. Placemaking in architecture is a method aimed at finding out the quality of a space or place, including the shops on Madureksan Street. The purpose of this research is to analyze the causes of differences in why some shops have many visitors from visiting tourists. Meanwhile, the research method used is a qualitative method using field observations including mapping, tracing, tracking, photographing, keeping a diary, and interviewing. In this way, it will produce a study of the research objectives which will hopefully help with evaluations to improve the quality of existing spaces and places for the better
