Title: The Dynamics of Spatial and Functional Transformation of Residential Homes Converted into Homestays in Ngaran II Homestay Village

The Borobudur area is a prominent tourist destination that continues to grow, significantly impacting the local economy. The increasing number of visitors has driven the development of various supporting facilities, including accommodations. One notable effect is the transformation of residents' homes into homestays as an alternative lodging option. In Ngaran II Homestay Village, many homeowners have modified their houses to accommodate tourists, leading to changes in the layout and function of spaces originally designed for private family use. This study aims to examine the spatial changes in residential houses converted into homestays and identify the factors influencing them. This study employs a descriptive qualitative method, with data collected through field observations and interviews with homestay owners. Participants were selected using purposive sampling. The findings indicate that homeowners repurpose rooms for homestay use and expand spaces to enhance guest comfort. The key factors driving these spatial modifications include the availability of sufficient space, opportunities to increase income, and the village’s strategic location near the Borobudur Temple area. The findings of this research assist homeowners in optimizing their living spaces to accommodate both family needs and guest comfort. Additionally, they offer guidance for policymakers in developing regulations that support homestay growth.
