Abstract

This study investigates the expression of ethnic cultural activities on Palembang?s riverside urban structure from 1700s to 2000s. Its objectives are: (1) to understand the cultures of Chinese, Arabian and Native Malay-Palembang in perspective of their daily activities; (2) to investigate how their living environments accommodate the activities; and (3) to differentiate the physical spatial order of riverside settlement between the three ethnics. This study answers a research question of how those cultures are reflected in the Palembang urban structure. From literature review, the study explores the history and culture of the three ethnics. The figure ground analysis and field observation are conducted to examine the urban structure of the ethnics? settlements. The interview strengthens the analysis to obtain the cultural expression of each ethnic in their living environments. It is found that each ethnic expressed their social culture on their living environment and reflected it in form of building and spatial order, the use of open space, and accessibility to the Musi River and towards the land. The dynamics that influenced the expressions are social culture values and change in transportation network
