| description | The Laho'an tribe is one of the sub-tribes in Belu Regency. The cultural landscape of the Laho'an Tribe was formed as a result of the interaction between the Laho'an Tribe community and their environment. The problem that occurs in this tribe is the degradation of landscapes and cultures. The cause of these changes is the influence of modernity and the lack of awareness among the people of the Lahoan tribe about the importance of culture, ancestral heritage, and existing landscapes. The purpose of this study is to identify the cultural landscape of the Laho'an Tribe in relation to its architecture and landscape. Landscape identification refers to eight variables. The method used in this study is a qualitative method with purposive sampling samples, where the respondents have certain criteria. Based on the results of cultural landscape identification, the Laho'an Tribe has its own characteristics related to tradition, culture, settlement, and landscape order. The Laho'an people believe in a dynamic system. Their traditions are divided into two categories: rituals related to the life cycle and rituals related to landscapes. The Laho'an tribe responds to the environment by utilizing natural products to meet the needs of life. These natural products can be used to make handicrafts, medicines, foodstuffs, building materials, and in traditional rituals. The settlement of the Laho'an Tribe community is linear in shape, which generally extends and is lined up on the side according to the direction of the road. The orientation of Laho'an settlement houses is related to the concept of orientation, which considers that the best direction of the house is to face east and west. Circulation in the area is in the form of primary, secondary, and tertiary circulation. Architecturally, Laho'an traditional house buildings are divided into typologies, forms, and functions. Judging from the typology of shapes, traditional houses are in theform of stilt houses with pole construction in the form of magnificent poles, support poles, and upside-down boat-shaped roofs. From the typology of the function of traditional houses, it can be seen from the spatial pattern, which is divided into two, namely vertical and horizontal. Vertically in the form of the house, the middle room, and the upper room. Horizontally in the form of a vestibule, a middle room, and a back room |
