Cultural factors arguably are significant concerning how humans, thoughts, and products progress and organize spatially. In terms of indigenous people, they carry a symbol of irreplaceable diversity where men and women have different gender roles and responsibilities compared to contemporary communities. Hence, this paper attempts to explore the indigenous understandings of gender in one of the most distinctive indigenous communities in Indonesia, known as Kasepuhan Ciptagelar. The authors conducted a qualitative case study to investigate how spatial processes are linked to gender identities and activism in the community.
