For 2 years and 11 months, this man who was born on November 10, 1976 has completed his lectures and research in the field of architecture, sub-field of housing and settlement science. His research is related to Islamic Architecture, with the Arab Village of Sugihwaras Pekalongan as the research locus in Pekalongan City, Central Java. The research topic raised is the morphology of villages based on lineage (nasab). This research uses a qualitative research paradigm with a case study research method to explore beliefs, values and meanings in society inductively. This research is based on the existence of a spatial phenomenon formed due to the exclusivity and inclusiveness of nasab in the Arab Village of Sugihwaras Pekalongan. From this research, it was found that the theory of ukhuwah space is a weave of inclusive space in Arab ethnic settlements to bridge differences in lineage, religion and group with the aim of maintaining harmony and sustainability of the Arab Village of Sugihwaras as a center for batik trade. The ukhuwah space consists of the ukhuwah nasabiyah space/ harmony of nasab found in the family room, the batik business space in the house, and the open space connecting the houses in the family cluster. The ukhuwah Islamiyah space/ space of interfaith brotherhood is found in the prayer room or mosque and the neighborhood road which can be a sacred or profane space. The ukhuwah insaniyah space/ brotherhood among humans is found in the batik trade space in the main road corridor or the alley connecting the main road to the residence. The novelty in this study is to enrich and color the morphological theory with the theory of ukhuwah space which forms an inclusive space based on the meaning of brotherhood in Islamic values to connect differences in nasab, religion and group.
