Minang cycle of community reproductive at the house of the order of the ancestors of the land affected.
There are four Minangkabau society, deeply conscious of the important aspects of many people. This is reflected in the study by Cecilia Ng, is the Australian National University which is north of Sumatra, the Minangkabau people of the basic principles of spatial organization, professional graduates. First, the Minangkabau people of several tribes, and focus more on the lineage (Hill composition, payuang). A family tree leading group, and then the people who called panghulu.
Secondly, the system through matrifocal Minangkabau (matrilineal descent, which follows), so here is the role of women and men, paper.
Third, because of relationships, marriage is the most important distinction among the crowd.Group can be seen clearly, which traces the family tree.
This is child’s right movement. Boys continue to develop until it did. Circumcision of children is not in his mother’s house to sleep, while the YAG laser has been circumcised, and the mosque to sleep until marriage. Islam before the marriage of their elders to learn. Teens who sleep in the existing home, a husband and wife (his sister married), married couples are embarrassed.Usually, the party has proposed is a party. As the couple, the men went to a homemaker.
The spatial organization
Add as a rectangular house has always been. There are three steps, namely, the more the family of 30, 20, the youngest 12. But the houses of the three organizations have exactly the same space.
The anjuang left the room. This space is usually a slight rise from the ground, therefore, often referred to as a man anjuang high. Dormitory or biliak only 30 and 20 is, is in the back room.The bedroom doors are curtains overlooking the lounge. Living at home, each room is divided into 30 three components, namely the right to face ateh biliak space, space and room tongah CAP.
In the country house of 20, the room is only divided into two parts, namely, space and room tongah CAP. Then the kitchen, which is generally lower than other parts of the house just behind. It is now located in front of the kitchen is the main reason is the home ground. But there is a larger space, which is in the house for the space of women at home.
Semi-private and private
The show is a semi-private space. Guests at his house, sat in the hat sat on tongah life of the owner. Tongah space is also used to eating with their families. Today tongah space to personal space. If you have guests who eat the food will be taken into consideration.
The sleeping space, residents must meet standards. The couple sleep in anjuang. If a couple of newlyweds, the couple moves to the previous anjuang nearest biliak. Therefore, we can say the room anjuang advance copy. Biliak biliak former residents move to the next, and so on.Because the order was from the age of marriage, extreme biliak (near the kitchen) are the oldest inhabitants of the occupation. If no biliak addition, older residents will be moved to the base.Ateh unmarried girls sleep in the living room and tongah near the main column (post-expansion).
The public space of the foundation of the house. Women who do not recur, he slept on that basis. This organization tongah chamber was placed in a bathroom.
The process of reproduction of the structure of space
From the above description of view, we can conclude Minang Plan That approach is based on the mode of operation of residents, particularly the reproductive process. This is evident in her room. The rotation of the reproductive process, so that the space behind the process of birth order.
Who is the woman in the family at the center of all processes and found his bedroom in the house of the Minang. Girls, for example, closing the space tongah the main column is menyemayamkan body. This indicates that placement in a family life has a beginning and an end. Then, when a married woman will have a private room (anjuang), located at the end of the house to begin the process of reproduction, and even fell in the center.
If a woman is a center of family activity, with men not the case. The man has lived the right direction. Since there is no place specifically for men. Transfer to the mosque of his circumcision, because he does not stay home, but the boat and come back when she gets married.
