Abstract

The paper discusses the case of an urban-rural development phenomenon in Ciburial Village, Bandung, Indonesia, where the spreading trend of art galleries and cafés in the area triggered the emergence of communal and leisure facilities and communal events attractive for tourism. The study explores the emergence of art spaces and cafés along Bukit Pakar Timur Street, in Ciburial Village, Bandung District, and the role of “Selasar Sunaryo Art Space” (SSAS) on the trend discussed. The paper discusses the combination of contemporary art galleries trend, the existing local activities, and the authentic rural setting of Ciburial Village and their role in triggering Creative Tourism. It also suggests that the absence of deliberate planning strategies is going to risk the natural placemaking itself.
