- Abstract
Even though the people have lived a modern life, the Fatubesi traditional village still maintains its traditional village spatial patterns. This survival occurs because of the substantial value of local wisdom inherited by their ancestors. This study aims to determine local wisdom in the persistence of spatial patterns in the Fatubesi Traditional Village. This research is qualitative research whose data were collected through direct observation in the Fatubesi Traditional Village, supported by interviews and literature studies, and interpreted using typology and symbol theory. The findings of this study are in the form of local wisdom in spatial planning of traditional villages, based on the carrying capacity of nature at the top of the hill, arranged by making terraces, supported by the presence of springs, and locations at an altitude, making it easy to monitor enemies. The concept of belief that stems from the megalithic tradition greatly influences the arrangement of the village’s spatial pattern on a hill and is oriented to Mount Lakaan, which is believed to be the origin of their ancestors. This belief also affects the architectural order of the village and the architecture of traditional houses aside from the order of community life manifested in various religious rites or religious ceremonies. This can be seen in the division of space in the traditional village yard by placing a sacred worship building at the highest topography. This belief concept also causes space division in traditional houses, which clearly distinguishes between sacred and profane rooms.
