Space Penetration of the Buntet Islamic Boarding School

Buntet Islamic Boarding School is the third oldest Islamic boarding school in Indonesia. The Islamic boarding school was founded in 1750 and continues to exist now. It began as a single community in the block of Mertapada Kulon Village and has now grown to include many communities. The purpose of this study is to explain the penetration space created by the activities of the Buntet Islamic boarding school. This research method combines a spatial approach using an Arch Map with surveys and field observations for ground data checks, interviews, and analysis of descriptions based on map data processing and field surveys, followed by interpretation of spatial penetration caused by Islamic boarding school activities. The study findings show that the Buntet Islamic Boarding School is a hub of activity that is not only focused on education but also on the village community's economic development. Space penetration happens as a result of past experiences and adaptability to the needs of Islamic boarding school education.
