Abstract

The purpose of this study is to explain the representation of library space by using triadic Lefebvre. Prensky (2001) mentions that digital natives are the users who live in a digital world, who were born in 1980 and above. This study referred to Lefebvre (1991) as a way of thinking to describe a library space, with aspects of the representation of space, spatial practices, and representational space. As referred to Lefebvre, space always refers to social space. This study used ethnographic research method with six informants taken purposively. The results showed that the issue of representation of space is not merely on the volition of UGM Library but is also inseparable from the interests of hegemonized ideology, such as space history, ideology, and resistance. Space is the arena for social activities. In terms of the representation of space, UGM Library space is not only an ideological but also pragmatic contestation. In addition, it is also historical, contestational, dynamic, and paradox. The historical problem means that UGM Library is set from time to time, in which there is something that is dynamic and newly constructed. Thus, library is a growing organism. The existing design of UGM Library space, the placement of facilities, and other apparatus are formed as driven by other external agent of UGM. There is also resistance, because there is the influence of other interests. Paradox space since there are many conflicts. There are also some rules that are made but are not obeyed by the library, so that the spatial practices are not necessarily obeyed by the digital native users. The contestational space of UGM Library, which is a supporting element of the Three Principles of Higher Education, has its spatial practice used more on individual interests of the digital native users with different interests. It means that in a space of a library has its practice based on the use of digital native users with various interests. read more

Local wisdom is usually inherited from generation to generation through stories by word of mouth. Local wisdom can usually including folklore, proverbs, songs and folk games. Proverbs are one of the tools used to maintain local knowledge and one that is used by environmental activists Citarum Hulu Watershed is “Leuweung kaian, lamping awian, legok caian, tegalan sawahan, hambalan kebonan”. Environmental activists deliberately chose these proverbs as a way to urge people Citarum Hulu in preserving the surrounding environment because according to them the meaning of the proverb that is in accordance with the message that will be delivered on environmental preservation. The results obtained through this study indicate that the Environmental campaigners Citarum Hulu construct meaning to the old saying in different ways, as evidenced by a different understanding on these proverbs. Environmental activists who come from families who have a background of Sundanese culture tends to understand the sentence is based on words that is built and based on previous experience of the Citarum River Basin. Environmental activists are not derived from the Sundanese culture, or immigrants, although it has long lived in this area tend to be understood by the stories he had ever received from mouth to mouth. Environmental activists are not the Sundanese will construct meaning based on the first story submitted by others on him.
