Abstract
This article is intended to question territoriality issue related with the production of authentic backstage tourist attraction in Laweyan residential space. Laweyan has been recently developed into a community-based cultural village promoting its batik industry as the main attraction. Laweyan village social-cultural and physical condition as a batik industry and trade center made significant opportunity for the community to offer valuable mix of tourism attractions, which are into cultural and heritage, handicraft and shopping tourism. Meanwhile, the demand of these kind of tourism is prospectively high, endorsed by the rise of new middle class society and the new form of tourism consumption, called Post-Fordist. The Post-Fordist need new different holiday experiences, which is not only leisure-oriented, but also experiences that can give meanings to their life. Therefore tourists begin to search for authenticity in their holiday experience. Problem arises in the setting production of the community everyday environment as authentic tourist attraction, against the local's need of privacy and territoriality. There are several questions being marked in this paper: 1)Does the community have to expose their private life as cultural presentation in the community to be called authentic? 2)How important it is to produce authentic attraction in Kampung Laweyan as cultural tourist destination? 3)What aspects should be consider in the production of visual environment to be called authentic? And further, 4)What are the territorial impacts of the situation when their everyday lives were commoditized as spectacles? This article proposes two circumstances that appear in the production of space: First, there might be production of simulacra in the where reality is being falsified to represent images of culture of everyday lives; Second, the community might be encountering deterritorialization in their own everyday environment that are being exposed to tourists. The data gathered for this research were from literatures and field survey, and subsequently being interpreted by qualitative descriptive method. The findings of this research are: 1)that the perception of authenticity for tourists are not always accomplished from the complete form of environment which included people, activities, and artefacts, 2)in Laweyan living spaces as backstage attraction, domestic territory and its meaning is still safeguarded and being preserved. The hosts prefer to profide simulacra for the tourists than being deterritorialized from places the consider as home.
