It's the sum of the space used by files within the directory. The blocks used by the directory itself are filled with directory entries (e.g., data structures that contain the file names listed above along with a reference to an inode). A tool like ls or du is used to process a directory to obtain cumulative data such as the total space used by files in some particular subtree.
