Abstract

The lack of knowledge of the present generation in understanding the cultural heritage of the ancestors as well as the socio-cultural changes is due to the advancement of tourism. This becomes a phenomenon that could result in the loss of local architectural knowledge, and the loss of cultural values as it is especially the case in the traditional house of Sade village. In an effort to explore the condition, this study on typology of traditional house, especially traditional house of Bale Tani in Sade village, Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara was conducted. In addition to socio-cultural factors, there are other factors that also affect the variety types of its forms such as climate, technology, land selection, availability of materials and construction method.The research used qualitative method with naturalistic approach supported by literature and comparative study. The result of the research indicates that there has been a transformation process in the form of traditional house of Bale Tani but it is not dominant (it does not affect the visual form as a whole), it has slow progress (it happens  within the long time span) and it happens on some parts/elements of Bale Tani only. Factors that influence the change are endogenous (understanding the cultural values by the Sade society) and exogenous factors that is the influence of social culture (tourism).Keywords: Typology, traditional house, Bale Tani

Abstract

AbstractA roof should be able to prevent and reduce the radiation heat. It is more recommended if it gives a good effect in both prevention and reduction of heat. Through this research, the author wanted to know the influence of the roof covering material to gable roof style towards the climate parameters, such as temperature of humidity and heat radiation. Gable roof style is considered as more effective rather than others traditional roof style. The ability of heat reduction and humidity performances of the gable roof was tested by using Asbestos, Roof Tiles, Metal deck, and Green Roof covering material to RumahInstanSederhanaSehat (RISHA) in Centre for Housing Research and Development (PuslitbangPermukiman), Bandung. The variations of ceiling and non-ceiling were applied for knowing the result specifically in terms of the level of humidity and temperature in the room. By using quantitative descriptive method, Metal deck gave the fastest effect towards the temperature reduction, while Roof Tiles gave the best effect by using ceiling, and Green Roof gave the best effect by not using ceiling. Humidity aspect that gave the best effect occurred when using ceiling, either when using ceiling or not. Meanwhile, the lowest humidity happened when using Asbestos and Green Roof material. In the ability to reduce heat radiation, Green Roof had the best ability in reducing the heat or had worst ability in heat radiation, followed by Metal deck. Meanwhile, Asbestos covering material had the best heat radiation ability.Keywords: Roof Covering Material, Gable Roof Model, Climate (temperature, humidity, and heat radiation).

Abstract

AbstractTraditional societies have always retained unique experiences and understanding about their houses. The experiences and understanding tend to be subjective, yet there is a real manifestation. This study aims to explain the concept of sacred-profane on room arrangement of heirloom houses at Mandailing society. This rationalistic study has been conducted in a descriptive-explorative way of using sacred-profane theory. The result shows that the room arrangement on heirloom houses of Mandailing society retain one space that is persistently existed, although the house is continued to grow, i.e., “Pantar Tonga” (middle room as living room). The room has become a universal pillar or axis mundi as well as sacred object. The sacred value of pantar tonga has reinforced the existence of the heirloom house until now without any significant change. Keywords: Heirloom House, Sacred-Profane, Axis-Mundi, Pantar Tonga

Abstract

ABSTRACTPeople in Ngadas Village have enough time to live in their fields. Therefore, the community build farmhouses to help farming activities. However, as an agricultural landscape, cultivation in Ngadas Village has various dynamics. Changes that occur in the agricultural landscape can be traced through agricultural features formed by the type of agricultural land use. In addition, it can be traced through cultural features that are the result of interactions between human activities and the environment such as farmhouses. Therefore, this study aims to find out the implications of agricultural features on cultural features, especially space in farmhouses. The in-depth interview and observation methods were conducted to identify, then the data obtained were analysed by synchronous and diachronic methods. So, the changes that occur can be determined descriptively. The results of the study show that the culture of shifting cultivation that has become permanent causes the fields to develop along with the changes in the plants that have been planted, the addition of activities and intensity of plant management. More fixed location of the farm more developed and permanent farmhouses has been built. More activities carried out in the fields and the higher intensity of plant management, the wider and more space needed for the fields.Keywords: Agrarian culture, Agricultural landscape, Farmhouses

Abstract

ABSTRACTIndonesia is a country located in the ring of fire. Various kinds of disasters threats parts of Indonesia, including its rich cultural and natural heritage assets. Since the 2004, Tsunami in Aceh, the government gives serious attention to disaster. In 2007, it stipulated the Law 24/2007 on Disaster Management. It's so unfortunate that cultural heritage is not yet part of main concern during disaster programs. In addition, there are only few experiences in the world about how to deal with the condition of heritage affected by disaster.      Heritage organizations in Indonesia aim to raise awareness about disaster risks on cultural heritage. They develop system of damage assessment to cultural heritage or Damage Heritage Rapid Assessment (DHRA) at the time of emergencies. Damage assessment was introduced in Yogyakarta, experienced a lot of damage caused by the massive earthquake in 2006. DHRA has been used in Padang (2009), Yogyakarta (2010), Jakarta (2013) and Manado (2014). This paper aims to explain what DHRA is and how DHRA can contribute to post-disaster rehabilitation and reconstruction of heritage district.Keywords: Damage assessment, disaster, heritage
