<![CDATA[Baruga is a traditional building that serves as a venue for community meetings, social activities, and a symbol of cultural identity. However, the Baruga located in the cultural heritage area of Kampung Lama, Kombeli Village, has experienced physical deterioration due to the weathering of wooden materials and has limited capacity to accommodate community activities. This community service program aimed to develop a renovation design that improves the building's quality and capacity while preserving its traditional architectural character. The program employed a participatory approach consisting of coordination, field surveys, building measurements and documentation, Focus Group Discussions (FGDs), design concept development, design validation, and preparation of the final design document. The results indicate that the proposed renovation design replaces the main wooden structural elements with reinforced concrete to enhance structural strength and durability, while retaining wooden flooring as a representation of the traditional identity of the Baruga. In addition, the building dimensions were expanded to increase its capacity for social, cultural, and community meeting activities. The resulting design serves not only as a technical guideline for renovation but also as an instrument for preserving the architectural form, function, and cultural values of the Baruga as an important cultural heritage asset of Kampung Lama, Kombeli Village.]]>
