TRADITIONAL PUBLIC HOUSING IN MADURA

Ecological systems in Madura moor, seems to affect the pattern of rural settlement. Madurese people who work in agriculture in general as farmers fields, therefore in Madura ecosystem is characterized by dispersed settlement pattern and clustered on a small scale, also referred to the village meji.  
A typical village in the area tegals Madura consists of a group of very small units each with its own fields and livestock, such a pattern borrowed Kuntowijoyo language more akin to a farm or small hamlet in the Netherlands.Most rural residents live scattered in the countryside in farmers' homes, they are incorporated in small groups. The groups were located between the housing and paddy fields. Housing groups are usually called "tanean lanjhang" ("yard long"). Housing was set up side by side with the direction parallel to the house (the north) and stables / kitchen (south), there is also a dipekarangan is violated (kobhung) which is adjacent to the west as a cover pekarang. Tanean possible naked is a form of the oldest settlements on the island of Madura.Around the yard (residential Madura) there are usually trees, shrubs and plants that make housing was mostly covered from the eye. Besides these plants also artifacts that in split bamboo fence that serves as protection. In the far distant interior fences kind of life is intertwined with thorny bamboo fence that is not easily traversed. This was reinforced with bare tanean layout that has only one entrance to the east. Thus people who entered through another door --- --- path that deviates is considered rude, even a tamupun may enter when authorized by the owner of the yard through the door of the official.The discovery of the kampong-kampong meji a single housing with other housing mutually isolated, indicating that the social conditions in rural Madura --- --- past, because in the present settlements in both rural Madura, especially in urban areas have many embrace modern residential layout including building model houses, except in certain villages in the interior that still maintain the tradition of kona provide a sense of insecurity in the population. Indications are not safe can also be seen in the structure of Madurese traditional houses that have only one front door, so there is no other way to get in and out of the house, even to the kitchen to go through that front door. The other side also indicates that the Madurese are always alert to the security of the family. This can be traced from the way they always stretch out to sleep with the north facing south (the entrance) as the position of the corpse. This can be interpreted that in a state of sleep the Madurese people can always keep an eye on the door of the house and always alert to the security environment.History and composition of the family who settled in "tanean lanjhang" can be known from the way the yard was built. Girls who are married stay at home parents, while boys who are married are usually moved into the yard of his wife. The first house is located in the northwest is home to the origin (nucleus) by parents, followed by the first daughter married. This indicates that parents are the head of the family while the children are "as the body that lies under the head" Determination of shelter for girls who are married is usually a wedding day, but rarely seoarang younger children will marry first of older sister-kecualai due to certain things, because parents usually have to find a candidate when his son was young.Although tanean naked inhabited by one or more extended family, nuclear family remains the single most important social unit. The residents tanean naked is the most important social figuration in the countryside after the nuclear family. The social solidarity of each occupant is very strong. In the event of harassment against one of his self esteem family member, is always interpreted as harassment esteem the whole family. The more so if the abuse happened to the woman (wife), if that happens then the whole family will react, the reaction is usually in the form of violence which is often called carok - .. On the other side of the strong family solidarity, solidarity ties among same wider villagers (sense of community) tend to be low, in other words, social cohesion among villagers became very fragile. Semavcam social conditions that gave a great chance of social disintegration, often conflicting, so that it is impossible not to be very potential "carok".
