Arsitektur Islam Dalam Konstruksi Media Daring Kompas: Kajian Arkeologi

Abstract

This research demonstrates that public archaeological studies have not been extensively explored, as evidenced by the presence of Islamic archaeological themes in online media. Islamic archaeological themes, such as ancient mosques, which are Islamic relics, have been widely discovered in Indonesia. Ancient mosques, in the context of archaeological studies, are examined from the perspective of their architecture. The purpose of this research is to examine Islamic architecture within Kompas media. To validate this study scientifically and holistically, qualitative methods are employed with intensive library and documentation methods, using a descriptive content analysis approach. In this research, the descriptive content analysis approach attempts to explain the actual state of online news up to the explanatory stage. Therefore, this paper discusses news data on Islamic architecture featured in Kompas online media from 2017 to 2023, including the spatial layout and decorative elements of Islamic architecture in Kompas online media as well as the functions and meanings attributed to Islamic architecture in Kompas online media.
