Makeshift as spatio-temporal mechanism tactics of urban interior in Kampung Bustaman Semarang, Indonesia

This paper explores various spatio-temporal mechanisms, especially in the formation of interior conditions of urban spaces. Through exploring everyday domestic practices, this paper proposes makeshift as a spatio-temporal mechanism to expand the idea of temporalities in urban space discourse. This study was conducted through a case study in an urban kampung with the collective spatial practice involving various hidden everyday life systems. The exploration of makeshift mechanism exploration is carried out by mapping the use of spaces, observing the actors as the space users, and noting how and when the spaces are used. The findings demonstrate two forms of makeshift, makeshift of functions and objects that occur during everyday practice. This finding contributes to the urban space programming that puts forward various possibilities of open spatial systems through the makeshift mechanisms.
