<![CDATA[The existence of urban villages today is inseparable from the threat of urban development, one of which is the Salatiga Mural Village, which was formerly known as a village of thugs and slum areas. In 2019, the Salatiga City Government through the KOTAKU without slums program made the first community-based thematic village in Salatiga City that still has tangible cultural conservation values. The development of this tourist village has a positive goal, namely to improve the socio-cultural and economic welfare of the village to sustain tourism. However, after the development as a tourist village, there was a change in the function and meaning of the village as a place to live into a village that has a tourism function and is open to tourists. These changes are predicted to affect the sense of place of residents in interpreting their place of residence. This study aims to determine the effect of the development of the Salatiga Mural Village on the community's sense of place as a tourist village. The results showed that the physical aspect affected the development of the village from the Poor to Good category. This is influenced by changes in the physical quality of the village environment from slums to a clean and beautiful environment (painting murals) as a tourist village. This study also shows that although the community has a strong attachment if in one aspect of supporting tourism activities (physical) it will affect the psychological comfort of the user so that physical changes cannot be separated from the meaning of the place by the occupants.]]>
