A survey of corresponding techniques to the change in natural environment of the villages on lake tempe in Indonesia

Abstract

In Southeast Asia, the water level change and periodical wind can threaten their lives at times. I think it important to grasp how they cope with natural wonder and live comfortably. Therefore, I surveyed "the location ofhouses" "the relocation of floating houses, removal and vocational change" "the structure of houses" "everyday life," and "the microclimate of houses"of the villages of Lake Tempe in Sulawesi Island. As a result, I clarified some corresponding techniques. For example, residents move their floating houses to the center of the lake in the dry season and to the shore in the wet season. If the water level goes down, residents move to the land housesand do farming.
