Abstract

This paper proposes an original method of group dialogue with inhabitants, called Sketch-log Dialogue, that combines Bohm Dialogue and free drawing, with the goal of developing an approach to planning and design that fosters the urban self-organization. This method was put into practice in Kampung which is said to have a high capacity for self-organization. As a result, a variety of Home spheres were drawn in the kampung Akuarium depending on the values and experiences of each individuals, and the inherent order and organization by the community were revealed. This method is useful for improving the living environment in detail by focusing on the individual as the smallest unit of self-organization.
