Abstract

The pattern of Pengotan Village is extended from the kaja (sacred) to the kelod (profane), which consists of three zones, namely the Utama (zone of sacred) as the space intended for shrines (temple), Madya (transition/between space) as the space for residential housing units, and the Nista zone (zone of profane) intended for the graveyard (setra). This pattern is repeated in clusters of residential housing units. This study aims to spatial analysis of luan (sacred) and teben (profane) orientations in Indigenous Village Pengotan through an approach: (1) history of the Traditional Village Pengotan, (2) conception of the mountain as a sacred direction, (3) conception luan (holy) and teben (profane) on settlements in the mountainous area, (4) general concepts of religious and secular space and (5) conception of signifier and signified spaces in architecture. The method used is naturalistic interpretive in studying the area in a conceptual (intangible) and concreate (tangible) context through empirical studies on sensual (observation), native's viewpoint, logic viewpoint (researcher's perspective), and intangible aspects. The results of this study are (1) spatial patterns based on luan (sacred) and teben (profane) conception; (2) the signifier and signified system in the space of on luan (holy) and teben (profane) orientation and (3) the relationship between Mount Batur and Mount Abang as luan (sacred) orientation in the Pengotan Village.
