Representasi Perempuan di Masjid
When women are in the public space, the mosque becomes a choice of worship places either mahdoh or mahash mahhab. That is, the mosque must prepare facilities that are responsive to these needs such as separate ablution places, dressing rooms, special doors so that women do not violate the aurat (khillaqiyah) boundary while in the mosque. This case study research examines the representation of women in the Parepare City mosque. The results of this study indicate that the mosque facilities in Kota Parepare are not gender responsive because there is refraction on women's gender. The data of field observation with ablution category are: united, separate open, separate closed, then only 5% mosque which is friendly to woman with indicator set up facility of separate covered wudhu room. Refraction occurs because men are the dominant voice both in the structure of the field of idarah, imarah, and ri’ayah so that the voice of men becomes central in the communication process of mosque planning and development, the representation of women in the mosque is neglected and silent.
