ADAPTATION OF CHINESE SETTLEMENT FOR ENVIRONMENT AND LOCAL TRADITION IN MUSI RIVERSIDE, PALEMBANG – INDONESIA
Chinese communities arrived in Palembang at the 7th century, aimed to trade and to establish settlements on the Musi riverside. In order to survive, they adapted to the local environment and tradition. There are three types of adaptations, i.e., behavioral adaptation, adaptation of form, and adaptation of function. Behavioral adaptation is characterized by applying a maritime life, which is to harness the potential of the river to meet the needs of everyday life. Chinese communities also implemented Pancalang Lima and Batanghari Sembilan as local beliefs which is used in determining the position and orientation of the house. Adaptation of form is represented in the similarity of physical form and spatial order of Chinese residents with that of the arrangement of indigenous settlement. Adaptation of function is represented in the use of space and spatial interior in the neighborhood. Understanding the process of adaptation of Chinese settlement on the Musi riverside was performed by elaborating the physical form of architecture and interpreting it to Pancalang Lima and Batanghari Sembilan as a guide for the locals to develop their settlement. Thus, architecture can be used as a form of adaptation to the environment and tradition of local communities on the Musi riverside.Keywords: adaptation, Chinese residential, riverside environment, tradition.
