Abstract
The study was conducted to find out the
changes in preferences of Selayar Islands Regency community from the use of stilts to landed houses.
The study was conducted through the vernacular architectural exploratory method
of Selayar Islands Regency in the Tanadoang Museum which uses the traditional
house design of Selayar and Bitombang villages which are traditional villages
that are 100-200 years old and still maintain the existence of Selayar vernacular
architectural designs to present. Data collection was carried out by direct observation in the field
and conducting interviews with the community regarding the preference for
traditional house use to become a modern house. Existing Selayar traditional
architectural design is a form of adaptation to the environment, lifestyle, and
geographical conditions. There is a change in preferences for the use of traditional
houses in Selayar Islands Regency, in line with the development of building
structure technology and the improvement of the economic conditions of the
community. The use of stilts with wood material is considered no longer
economical because of the limited wood materials used.
Keywords: architecture, vernacular,traditional, housing, Selayar
Islands.
1. Introduction
Selayar
Islands Regency is an area of South Sulawesi Province as an archipelago
located on the southern tip of Sulawesi Island. Selayar Islands Regency has a
total of 130 islands, with an area of 10,503.69 km2 covering a land area of
1,357.03 km2, and an area of sea waters 9,146.66 km2. The population in
2016 was 131,605 residents [1]. In the past, Selayar Islands Regency was once a trade route to the
spice center in Maluku. In the Selayar Islands, traders stop by to fill
supplies until they wait for a good season to sail again. From this cruise
activity, the name Selayar appears. The name "Selayar" comes from the
word cendaya (sanskrit) which means
one screen, because it is said that there are many one-screen boats that stop
by this island. Besides the name Selayar, the island is named after "Tana
Doang" which means place of prayer. In the past, Selayar Island became a
place of prayer for sailors who wished to continue their journey both west and
east, for the safety of their voyages. In the Amanna Gappa (17th century) law
and shipping law, Selayar is referred to as a good transit place for sailing to
the east and west [2].
Houses
in Selayar Islands Regency are still dominated by stilt houses [3], as shown in table 1.
The use of stilt houses is commonly used in several regions in Indonesia. The
advantage of using a "house on stilts" is that it can adjust the room
temperature faster, because there is no direct contact with the soil or concrete,
so that air circulation is better. But over time, difficulties in obtaining
timber, and government regulations related to restrictions on timber
exploitation, made the stilts
house increasingly abandoned [4].
