The study's aim was comparing community activities along the Batanghari river in the past and present, knowing the economic, social and cultural activities of Batanghari people living along the river basin. The study was conducted from March to October 2017 using a single case study. The location of this research was along Batanghari River Basin in Batanghari Regency. The results showed that community activities along the river Batanghari are not as it used to be because it has experienced a shift or transfer function. In the Dutch colonial period Batanghari river had a very important role, namely as a means of public transportation by boat. In addition Batanghari river was also used by society as a means to transact or traditional markets at some point on the edge of the river Batanghari, but now the markets are not working anymore.
