The refinement stages of house-lifting tradition in Indonesia.

Architectural culture of the archipelago is closely related to oral culture, which is obtained from direct experience and develops into a culture. The tradition of house-lifting is one of the architectural cultures that grows orally. There is no theoretical rule that governs the course of these activities. The existing rules only relate to cultural rules, namely rituals in the process of raising a house, as well as the value of gotong royong which is strengthened in this activity. As a region develops, house-lifting activities become difficult to do so that these activities are increasingly being carried out. In architecture, the stage of understanding before implementation is needed for a desired result. The tradition of lifting a house is an architectural culture that does not go through a mature understanding stage before the implementation stage. Usually the perpetrators of the tradition of house-lifting directly enter the preparation stage, where the preparation stage has been combined with the stage of understanding and solving problems at once spontaneously. So sometimes there are obstacles in its implementation. Therefore, this research was conducted in order to be an effort to preserve the architectural culture that exists in Indonesia, namely the tradition of house-lifting. By doing a thorough understanding stage, the obstacles that occur can be estimated and can be resolved before dealing directly with problems that are in the implementation stage.
