INTRODUCTION
The urban landscape in Indonesia is evolving towards a multicultural and inclusive urban heritage, which serves as a foundation for social cohesion, a catalyst for diversity, and an impetus for creativity, innovation, and urban regeneration .
Numerous traditional settlements, especially kampungs, not only represent physical configurations but also embody collective memories about cultural and social composition .
The acculturation observed in Kampung Melayu Petek emerged from a protracted and continuous interaction between diverse cultures within a community, which does not obliterate the unique characteristics of the group.
rather, it engenders new elements through a process of compromise while preserving certain cultural dimensions to maintain the group's identity .
This kampung exemplifies a hybrid settlement where cultural acculturation has profoundly influenced urban morphology .
Historically, part of a colonial corridor, this kampung accommodates a heterogeneous population comprising Javanese.
Chinese.
Arab, and Malay ethnic groups, each of which has significantly contributed to the physical and socio-spatial structure of the local .
Recent scholarly inquiries have investigated hybrid urban morphologies as adaptive frameworks conducive to sustainable settlements .
, while research on kampung environments highlights issues of crowding, livability, and environmental comfort .
The convergence of residential, religious, commercial, and social functions within compact, organically developed plots .
illustrates the potential and challenges of mixed-use development in heritage-rich urban While these characteristics create a vibrant and culturally rich environment .
, they also present planning issues such as overcrowding, infrastructure stress, and a lack of green open spaces .
Modern urban planning frequently encounters difficulties in addressing such intricate Conventional zoning and infrastructural paradigms inadequately accommodate informal growth, cultural specificity, and adaptive land-use requirements .
Kampung Petek epitomizes this disconnect, wherein rigid urban frameworks are at odds with the dynamic practices of the local population .
When strategically considered, mixed-use development, when approached strategically, offers a potential planning tool to mediate between tradition and transformation .
This research investigates the implications of strategic mixed-use planning as a framework to advocate for sustainable and culturally responsive urban development within hybrid settlements.
The primary inquiry is: In what manner do historical processes acculturation inform the contemporary spatial configurations in Kampung Petek? By addressing this query, the Doi: https://doi.

Number 2, pp 148 Ae 164, 2025 study seeks to elucidate the extent to which the historical layering of cultures in Kampung PetekAos influences its present spatial organization and how these insights may guide future planning The originality of this research is manifested in its integrative approach and mixeduse urbanism to propose planning solutions that are firmly rooted in the local context.
Prior investigations have frequently approached heritage conservation and urban development separately, treating cultural identity and planning concerns in isolation rather than as interconnected issues.
This research, focused on Kampung Petek, aims to synthesize these perspectives by illustrating how cultural hybridity and mixed-use strategies can be integrated into a cohesive planning model.
By positioning mixed-use development as both a preservation strategy and a framework for innovation, the study highlights its potential to sustain heritage while accommodating contemporary needs.
The findings from Kampung Petek offer a model for other multicultural and heritage-sensitive settlements in Indonesia and beyond, where inclusive and context-aware planning is essential.

The cosmopolitan character of Kampung Petek in Semarang is the result of centuries of trade-oriented interactions among Arab.
Chinese.
Malay-Banjar, and Javanese people .
Semarang Harbor's harbor strategic location as a historical transit point facilitated the early settlement of Chinese merchants near Kampung Melayu.
After the Dutch relocated Mangkang Harbor to Kali Semarang in 1743, the Layur Corridor, or Jalan Layur, became a significant entry point in the area.
This relocation established the Dusun Darat or Dusun Ngilir settlement, with the Pasar Ngilir market at its center.
In response to this economic development, the Chinese population established a business district along Jalan Layur, which solidified their presence and financial power within in the area.
The Arab population also played an important role in shaping the cultural and social patterns of Kampung Petek .
Hadramaut Arab traders from Yemen arrived and settled there from the 15th to 17th centuries because the area had good coastal trade.
These traders played a crucial role in the spread of Islam.
This is exemplified by the Layur Mosque (Masjid Menara Kampung Melay.

Arab traditions such as the observing of Maulid Nabi and attire, such as gamis and peci putih were maintained.
Meanwhile their culinary heritage, such as nasi kebuli, was assimilated into the local taste.
Historically.
Arab merchants also dominated land ownership, holding large tracts behind the Chinese commercial community and leasing these to merchants under a regime supported by the Dutch colonial state.

that would serve as the focus of trade.
By 1900, the Chinese community, led by Liem A Gie, wanted to build a temple in Layur to serve as a cultural and spiritual center.
The Arab community resisted this project, but it was subsequently completed with the assistance of a colonial Rooimeester.
Over time, they expanded their properties towards the main road, solidifying their commercial dominance.
The layout of their houses combined Chinese ornamental motifs with local spatial patterns.
Chinese culinary traditions, including siomay and lumpia, contributed more to Kampung Melayu's gastronomic As the majority ethnic group in Semarang, the Javanese contributed communal, valueoriented traditions and spirituality to Kampung Petek.
Traditions such as slametan, kenduri, and gotong royong continue to shape society, and the Javanese language, batik, and wayang performances remain cultural staples.
Despite the scarcity of the old joglo and limasan structures, these designs still influence local architecture, coexisting with Arab and Chinese influences.
Javanese religious practices, particularly Islamic teachings, are closely intertwined with local customs like tahlilan and pengajian, thus retaining cultural continuity.
In addition to the main Arab.
Chinese, and Javanese inhabitants.
Kampung Petek is home to the Malay and the overall Malay ethnic groups.
These groups are responsible for their regionAos early formation and multi-ethnic character.
Historical records indicate that the first migrants from the region of Kalimantan arrived in the 19th century via sea trade routes.
Due to its waterfront location connected to the Java Sea.
Kampung Melayu was a natural gateway point.
The migrants were mainly hired as laborers, referred to locally as coolies, who loaded and unloaded commodities at the Old Boom Pier.
Their presence, along with that of other Malay-speaking groups, is said to have influenced the etymology of "Kampung Melayu.

The Banjars eventually settled in the area, forming settlements, and integrated with other groups.
Evidence of their material presence can be seen in Malay-type houses, and evidence of their religious heritage can be seen in visits to Masjid Menara and communal ceremonies.
The physical and cultural landscape of Kampung Petek reveals a layered history shaped by centuries of settlement and trade.
Along Jalan Layur, rows of Chinese shop-houses form a continuous corridor of commercial activity.
Behind them lie remnants of large plots of land once owned by Arab traders that have since been subdivided into smaller lots.
Historical records show that the area developed through the interactions of Malay.
Arab.
Chinese, and Javanese Each community contributed its own trade practices, religious architecture, culinary traditions, and local customs.
These contributions created a multiethnic character embedded in both the built environment and daily life.
Ethnic enclaves within Kampung Petek maintain their distinct cultural identities while adapting to surrounding influences.
This process is evident in their spatial organization.
The Chinese community is characterized by traditional ruko with narrow fayades, deep plots, and upper-floor residences that serve as commercial-residential The Arab community centers on the Menara Layur Mosque and features inward-facing houses and enclosed courtyards that are rooted in Islamic traditions of privacy and family Javanese settlements, which are largely located in the southern and peripheral areas, display more organic patterns.
These settlements feature joglo or limasan house forms that are arranged in loose grids.
They also have irregular road access and small communal gardens that serve both social and functional purposes.
This interplay of cultural elements has created a Aumosaic morphology,Ay in which architectural forms and spatial typologies are constantly mixed and reshaped through cultural exchange .
For example, some Chinese ruko have adopted Islamic decorative elements because of their proximity to Arab neighborhoods.
Conversely, some Javanese houses have been repurposed as commercial properties, reflecting economic shifts and urban transformation.
These adaptations demonstrate that acculturation in Kampung Petek is an ongoing process shaped by modern pressures and the demands of urban expansion, not merely a historical Contemporary changes, such as road widening to improve accessibility, have led to the partial demolition of heritage structures.
However, newer buildings often incorporate traditional motifs to preserve continuity with the past.

These events foster communal ownership of space despite occasional clashes with municipal priorities.
The KampungAos architectural landscape is further shaped by hybrid building types, where a single ruko may house a musholla and a batik workshop, reflecting the adaptation of space to both spiritual and economic needs.
These evolving typologies challenge conventional urban planning, which separates residential, religious, and commercial functions.
Instead, they illustrate a living model of cultural resilience and spatial flexibility.

A second key finding concerns land use trends and urban density pressures.
As Kampung Petek has grown outside legal zoning controls, land use trends have also evolved.
Commercial expansion clusters along Jalan Layur and surrounding areas, while residential density increases in inner kampung zones.
Due to their proximity to the river and trade networks, many houses in denser areas have undergone backlot extensions or vertical growth to accommodate larger families or rentals.
Density mapping shows that Chinese-dominated zones have larger building footprints, higher traffic, and limited pedestrian access due to their commercial-residential typology.
Arab and Javanese areas are less dense but face uncontrolled expansion.

Public green space accounts for less than 5% of the toatal land use, which is well below the national urban RTH standard of 30% .
Any existing green spaces are private gardens or temporary open spaces around mosques, schools, and empty lots.
Perceptions of green space also vary across communities.
For example, the Javanese traditionally incorporate vegetation into their residential compounds .

These areas serve ecological and social purposes and serve as community gathering spots.
However, in more concentrated Chinese neighborhoods, commercial land use dominance leaves little space for greenery.

This aligns with the tenet of the Hybrid Urban Morphologies Community (HUMC), which coexists with several urban morphologies that synergize commercial, social, and cultural functions.
By promoting culture-based eco-tourism and environmentally friendly urban options, such as renewable energy and improved waste management.
Kampung Petek can become a sustainable conservation zone with high economic appeal.
A second focus area of the strategy is greater accessibility and connectivity, such a implementing integrated pedestrian walkways, cycling tracks, and car parking lots, while retaining the historical character of the corridors.
Cultural events such as Cap Go Meh.
Grebeg Maulud, and Idul Fitri can be used as focal points to reiterate local identity and attract tourists annually.

By implementing these strategies.
Kampung Petek can safeguard its historical and cultural legacy and transform into a model for resilient and inclusive, heritage-based urban regeneration in Indonesia.
CONCLUSION
The study of Kampung Petek reveals that its urban form has been shaped by centuries of cultural interaction, resulting in distinctive morphological layering and ethnic zoning.
The coexistence of Chinese ruko.
Arab mosque-centered clusters.
Javanese organic layouts, and Malay-Banjar traditions illustrates how acculturation created a hybrid spatial identity that is functional and symbolic.
This highlights the importance of cultural plurality as an integral part of urban morphology.
However.
Kampung Petek faces critical challenges, including high density, a lack of green space, policy gaps, gentrification pressures, fragmented governance, and environmental risks.
These conditions underscore the need for planning approaches that address environmental quality and respect cultural patterns and community practices.
Suggested strategies include heritage zoning, participatory planning, flexible infrastructure, eco-friendly mobility, and culture-based creative economies.
These strategies offer a way forward in resolving the challenges Kampung Petek faces.
Within this framework, mixed-use development is more than a planning tool.
it reflects Kampung PetekAos socio-cultural hybridity, where trade, worship, and community life historically coexisted in shared spaces.
Strengthening this inherent character ensures that regeneration strategies preserve heritage while meeting contemporary needs.
In this sense.
Kampung Petek not only stands as a living heritage landscape but also as a replicable model for culturally sensitive and sustainable, mixeduse urban development in Indonesia.
