DINAMIKA RUANG WISATA RELIGI MAKAM SUNAN GIRI DI KABUPATEN GRESIK

Abstract

Space is the product of an activity, which involves economic and technical activities owned by a group of people, so it has political and strategic nature. The relationship between space and activity is very close, where the space has a concept of a container and content. This study concerns the dynamics of space in Sunan Giri Tomb  formed because of the conflict and activities in the tomb tourist site. The visitors’s space dimension of Sunan Giri Tomb can not be physically limited as each visitor has his own movement space and purpose of his activities. The aim of this study is to analyze the dynamics of space for visitor’s activity in  the tomb. The  method used is descriptive qualitative, deciphering the visitor’s behavior as the research object. The finding shows that space once had  a specific function, but because of the activity and condition adjustment at one time, then the dynamics in space happen. The dynamics contain changes in the function and meaning or the space character which is associated with the context of time and influenced by human activities.
