Abstract

Many regions have lost their peculiarities of vernacular architecture due to the effects of global changes. But Brayut Village in Yogyakarta still has many vernacular houses with various types although the village has been transformed through the process of commercialization into a tourist village. One of the factors affecting the resilience of the village is gender. This study aims to explore the role of gender in the process of transforming the vernacular settlements in the Brayut tourist village. A qualitative empirical research study was conducted during the commercialization process. In-depth interviews with women who play a role in the transformation process were conducted in three stages by interviewing all owners or residents of the vernacular houses to obtain basic data of the transformation process. Results were classified based on the gender in relations to the possibility of sustainability of the vernacular settlement The results explore gender roles in maintaining vernacular architecture.
