Daftar Isi:
  • Lasem or Lao Sam is known as the place of the biggest Chinese immigrants in Java which occured in the 14th - the 15th century and which caused the strong influence of Chinese culture into local culture (Javanese). The artifacts of the acculturation can still be seen in Peranakan House or Rumah Peranakan. The existence of the house is very important to Chinese community, especially in the embodiment of the gate. The gate is not only seen from its physical entity, but can also be seen as the concept of the "spatial". The concept of third space can serve as a medium that provides harmony between conflicts that often occur between the first space and second space. This is a qualitative research with the third space as the theoretical approach and is equipped with data collection strategy through the study of literature. This article became one of the important documents in the history and culture of Lasem, as well as a part of Indonesian identity with multi-cultural backgrounds. In addition, it serves as a medium for disseminating knowledge about the Indonesian culture to the international audience.
