This study investigates the sustainability of residential space in Kampung Kauman by examining both physical dimensions, including spatial structure, building facade, architectural style, and material character, and non-physical dimensions encompassing social, economic, and religio-traditional values that shape community life. Employing a qualitative-rationalistic methodology grounded in empirical field observation, structured interviews, and place theory, the research identifies that the sustainability of Kampung Kauman rests on a dialectical relationship between development and preservation, mediated by deeply embedded community values of togetherness (kebersamaan), economic empowerment, and Islamic tradition. The discussion reveals that the kampung's unique grid spatial structure, narrow alleyways (lorong), and distinctive gap spaces (lengkong) constitute irreplaceable physical assets, while intangible heritage: ritual practices, social solidarity, and religious identity, form the invisible architecture sustaining the settlement's life.
