      Abstract

      �The Dolly area was widely known as a famous prostitution area in Surabaya, which was supposedly the largest in Southeast Asia. After going through a number of upheavals and rejection, finally this prostitution area was closed in 2014 by the government and returned as a residential area. Most societies supported the decision, but not a few rejected it. Until 2018 the upheaval is still going on. From the remaining signage, it is known that the prostitution took place amidst dense population. This research aims to investigate the typographical benefits and roles for the communities in this region. In-depth observations and interviews confirm the important role of typography for the citizens in this place. It functions as identities and is also a meaningful resistance model and even negotiation�an unresolved turmoil.
