Comparison of Residential Patterns and Influence Analysis of Cultural, Economic and Social Aspects on the Dualism of Residential Patterns in Pengotan Traditional Village, Bangli, Bali

Abstract

In addition to living in the central village, Pengotan traditional village members also own houses in their fields. This is a result of most of the people being farmers who work in the fields. Nonetheless, there are variations in the residential patterns—linear and clustered—of the fields where people reside. Thus, the purpose of this research was to detect residential patterns in the fields and to compare and assess them according to three criteria: social, cultural, and economic. To explain and gather data for the study, qualitative descriptive approaches were used. After verifying the theory utilized to conduct observations, interviews, analysis, and interpretation of analysis results, the comparative deductive technique is implemented. A comparative method is used to compare the two research objects, considering both their characteristics and their facts. As research items, one traditional house in the central village as well as two residential patterns in the fields between Banjar Delod Desa and Banjar Yoh were examined. Two types of residential patterns—linear and clustered patterns—were found in the fields based on field observations and analysis. A luan-teben idea found in the orientation illustrates the spatial hierarchy present in many topographies. The comparison concludes that the furniture utilized in each mass depends on the quantity and purpose of the various masses. In the meantime, research based on social, cultural, and economic factors determines which factors have the greatest bearing on the growth of lodge houses. In conclusion, people of Pengotan village constructed two residential patterns in the fields that still take spatial hierarchy into consideration. Since occupants need more room to complete daily tasks, the two residential patterns differ primarily in mass quantity and mass function. Therefore, depending on day-to-day activities, the economic factor is what genuinely persuades homeowners to construct a lodge house.
