Abstract

This research analyses the transformation of interior functions in Kalang houses in Kotagede, focusing on Museum Kotagede and Ndalem Natan-Proyodranan. Yogyakarta's historical structures are transforming to accommodate urban development, socio-cultural shifts from kingdoms to governments, and economic demands. The "Analysis of Existing Fabric" model, developed by Mısırlısoy and Günce, which encompasses original function, physical characteristics, heritage values, and district requirements, is utilised to explore techniques for enabling heritage structures to accommodate modern use. The research indicates that this model can be applied to heritage buildings to preserve culture and history while supporting economic and tourism potential.
