Tipologi, Pola, dan Skenario Pengaturan Aktivitas Pengunjung di Candi Kidal

Abstract

Candi Kidal, the oldest historical site from the Singasari Kingdom era located in Malang, East Java, not only
holds historical value in its construction, but also encompasses a broad philosophy within the ornaments of
each part of the temple. This attracts various types of visitors, such as researchers, archaeologists, students, and
tourists, making the temple a place for learning, recreation, and religious activities. However, the existing
circulation pattern poses a challenge to the aesthetic effectiveness of the temple site, and the management of
tourist activities that could threaten the physical integrity of the temple, leading to the deterioration of its
historical value and a decrease in the quality of the experience for each type of visitor. Therefore, there is a
need to propose effective circulation pattern and zoning to preserve the physical and aesthetic integrity of the
Candi Kidal site and enhance new and engaging experiences for various types of visitors. The method used
involves qualitative methods through field observations and interviews. This paper describes the concept of
circulation and zoning arrangement at the Candi Kidal site, emphasizing the effectiveness of pedestrian
pathways for different types of visitors. The final results of the study present a design concept for the circulation
arrangement at the Candi Kidal site as a proposed solution to enhance its potential and address the challenges
it faces.
