However, apparently, the ancestors of the Indonesian people had built buildings like this earthquake resistant. In addition to having historical value, various traditional buildings from various regions are believed to be earthquake resistant.
This cannot be separated from the material traditional house traditional in which light materials such as wood and bamboo dominate. The building structure is then joined together with pegs so that it is stronger and more dynamic. Reporting from various sources, here are 6 traditional anti-seismic traditional houses:
1. Minangkabau traditional house, West Sumatra
Traditional Minangkabau houses are known to be flexible and elastic. strong during an earthquake. This building, with a roof resembling a pointed horn, was built on an unplanted foundation. This house rests on wooden pillars resting on sandstone or umpak. This is intended to isolate the shaking of the earthquake from the soil that will enter through the foundation.
