Perubahan Budaya Bermukim Masyarakat Riparian Sungai Musi Palembang, Tinjauan Proses dan Produk

Abstract

local wisdom. Settlements can be categorized as vernacular architectural works in the sense that they are designed,
built and used. The water space that was previously so vast, now began to narrow down with the presence of land
space. The river experienced a narrowing and even hoarding in several places, which caused a decline in the function
of the river for its people. Stage houses or rafts that used to respond to the river now turn to non stage (characterized
by land houses). This has the potential to cause loss of local potential and local architectural identity. This study aims
to determine the cultural changes living in the riparian community of the Musi Palembang river. In achieving this goal,
a study was conducted to identify the architectural footprint, explore activities and ideas of the riparian community of
Sumgai Musi. Data collection was carried out through field observations, in-depth interviews, and literature studies.
Analysis was carried out qualitatively on variables, process characteristics and products from identification of
riverbank settlements. The results with based on the process and product, showed that most of the riverside houses
experienced physical changes in the building, both from the function and building materials. Then with the decline of
the existence of the river, the community made a new road network and more land land. The study concluded that the
cultural change living on the banks of the river was caused by the loss of identity of the riparian settlement of the Musi
river.
