Abstract

Traditional vernacular architecture often embodies a sophisticated synthesis of spiritual values and environmental adaptation. This study examines the Ghumah Baghi, a traditional house of the Besemah people in South Sumatra, which has survived centuries of seismic activity. While previous studies focused on its physical structure, there is a lack of research integrating its theological symbolism with disaster mitigation functions. This research employs a qualitative method with a semiotic approach, utilizing Peirce’s triadic model to analyse the meanings behind the architectural ornaments and structural systems. The findings reveal that the divine symbols in Ghumah Baghi-such as the Tiang Duduk (floating foundation) and floral carving-represent a “theology of balance” between humans, nature, and the Creator. Critically, these spiritual symbols manifest that advanced indigenous engineering; the non-fixed foundation serves as a base-isolation system that provides seismic resilience. The study concludes that the theological philosophy of “yielding to divine nature” is the fundamental driver behind the building’s structural endurance. This research contributes to the discourse of ethno-architecture by proving that local wisdom and spiritual semiotics are essential components in developing sustainable and culturally-rooted disaster mitigation strategies.

Abstract

This article examines efforts to preserve ancient Islamic manuscripts in Indonesia, with particular emphasis on the risks associated with current conservation practices. Using a qualitative approach, the study analyzes data sourced from social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, and relevant websites. The data collection follows a desk-review method, in which content is gathered and categorized based on predefined criteria. This information is then filtered and analyzed to map the threats emerging from preservation efforts. The findings reveal three primary risks in the implementation of manuscript conservation: (1) physical damage resulting from improper preservation methods; (2) the loss of contextual or historical identity of the manuscripts; and (3) the discontinuity or fragmentation of textual content. These risks underscore the need for a comprehensive review of existing government policies and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for manuscript preservation. Such policies must be contextually adapted to Indonesia’s specific environmental and institutional conditions to guide preservation actors effectively.
