DEVELOPMENT OF THE TANJUNG RINGGIT PALOPO AREA AS SPIRIT OF PLACE AREA

Abstract

This writing uses cultural and valley concepts to develop the Tanjung Ringgit Palopo area as the spirit of place area. The targets for this development are socio-cultural and economic aspects. Qualitative descriptive methods and field observations were used in this research to collect factual data about the spread of the problem. This research describes phenomena and then analyzes and presents them with systematic facts to facilitate reasoning and conclusions. Results were obtained from a social aspect by preparing a housing development program with indicators of livable houses and a healthy environment while maintaining and reconstructing traditional houses with cultural values and unique local wisdom. Meanwhile, economic development is being carried out by establishing a restaurant in Tanjung Ringgit, which can increase tourism potential in the mainstay area of Palopo. Suppose the development of these two aspects is carried out optimally by the government and local community. In that case, Tanjung Ringgit can be called the spirit of place area in Palopo City.
