Latar Belakang: Rumah (home) merupakan ruang kehidupan yang tidak hanya berfungsi sebagai tempat tinggal, tetapi juga menjadi ruang pembentukan identitas, relasi sosial, rasa memiliki (belonging), dan pengalaman emosional. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis dan mensintesis literatur mengenai keterkaitan home, belonging, identitas, home-making, place attachment, dan inklusi sosial untuk merumuskan pemahaman konseptual tentang Reimagining Home. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan desain studi literatur (library research). Data berupa sumber sekunder dari artikel jurnal, buku akademik, dan publikasi ilmiah yang relevan, terutama literatur 2018–2026 serta karya-karya fundamental. Pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui dokumentasi, sedangkan analisis menggunakan thematic analysis. Hasil penelitian mengidentifikasi tiga tema utama: (1) home sebagai pengalaman multidimensional yang dibentuk melalui home-making, place-making, pengalaman, dan identitas; (2) belonging, relasi sosial, dan inklusi sosial sebagai unsur yang membentuk home secara relasional; serta (3) Reimagining Home sebagai konsep rumah yang relasional, dinamis, dan inklusif. Penelitian ini berkontribusi secara konseptual dengan mengintegrasikan berbagai dimensi tersebut dalam memahami rumah bukan sekadar hunian fisik, melainkan ruang kehidupan yang memungkinkan individu merasa aman, diterima, terhubung, memiliki identitas, dan berpartisipasi secara bermakna dalam lingkungan sosialnya. Penelitian ini berupaya mengonseptualisasikan kembali makna home dari perspektif yang lebih inklusif.
Abstract
Background: Home is not merely a physical dwelling but a lived space in which identity, social relationships, belonging, and emotional experiences are constructed and negotiated. This study aims to analyze and synthesize the literature on the interconnections among home, belonging, identity, homemaking, place attachment, and social inclusion to formulate a conceptual understanding of Reimagining Home. The study employs a qualitative approach through a literature research design. The data consist of secondary sources, including scholarly journal articles, academic books, and relevant scientific publications, particularly literature published between 2018 and 2026 alongside foundational works. Data were collected through documentation and analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings identify three main themes: (1) home as a multidimensional experience shaped through homemaking, placemaking, lived experiences, and identity; (2) belonging, social relationships, and social inclusion as interconnected dimensions that construct home as a relational experience; and (3) Reimagining Home as a relational, dynamic, and inclusive conceptualization of home. This study contributes conceptually by integrating these dimensions to extend the understanding of home beyond physical housing toward a lived space where individuals can experience safety, acceptance, connection, identity, belonging, and meaningful participation within their social environment. The study seeks to reconceptualize home from a more inclusive perspective.
