Hallo how are you? Hopefully you
guys are fine.
On this beautiful day I will try
posting about home betang. Yes, home betang. The typical House of Borneo.
Betang House is one of the
traditional House of Borneo at the upstream of the River became the center of
the Dayak tribe settlement, because in the past the River was the main
transportation for Dayak to perform a variety of daily activities such as
farming or trade.
Form and great home Betang varies
in different places. There is a long Betang House 150 metres and a width of up
to 30 meters. Generally home Betang built in the shape of the stage with a
height of three to five meters from the ground. The height of this building
houses Betang to avoid the coming floods in rainy season that threatened areas
in the upper reaches of the River in Borneo.
Some residential units can have
more than one home Betang fruit depending on the magnitude of the residential
community member households. Every household (family) occupying the booth
(room) are on the boundary bulkhead of the great House of Betang, in addition
the Dayak tribe in General also have single houses that were built while the
time to perform the activity fields, this is because the distance between
fields with the place of settlement.
Betang home is more than just a
House, but actually houses Betang is the heart of the social structure of the
Dayak people's lives. Betang culture is a reflection about togetherness in
everyday life Dayak people. In this each individual life Betang within
households and communities are systematically arranged through mutual agreement
that poured in customary law. Shared security, both from the criminal disorder
or share food, suka-duka as well as the mobilization of manpower to work the
fields. The main values that stand out in life at home is the value of
togetherness Betang (communalism) among the citizens who inhabit it, regardless
of the differences they have. From here we learn that the Dayak tribe is the
tribe that appreciates a difference. Appreciate the difference ethnic Dayak
tribe, religion or social background.

On the front of the House there
is a betang rung as the entrance into the House. The house-shaped stage with a
height of approximately three to five meters from the ground surface is
deliberately constructed to avoid floods and attacks of wild beasts.
At the end of the steps, we'll
find a bale or a porch that is not too broad, its function as a place to
receive guests as well as for a meeting with relatives or other families.
Go inside the building we are going
to see a lot of room that is partitioned into several rooms. Well, any room or
booth is occupied by one family. so, such as in one family there were 50 betang
House, means the number of booths there are also 50. That's why this shape
Betang home very long.

In the back of the Dayak
indigenous House there is a room that serves as a storage area for results and
agricultural tools. In addition, the Dayak custom homes also has a cattle
Corral hewah blends at home, because pets are included in the family treasures
such as pigs, cows and dogs.
This behavior reflects betang
home community that prioritizes Dayak brotherhood and togetherness.
