The development of the city in the modern era has had an impact on the culture of people living in the riverside. The river-oriented settlement culture is transformed into a land-based settlement culture. In this development, changes in the form of a settlement environment depend on the position of environmental elements in cultural systems such as nature, man, society, shells, and network. Changes in the form of environment affect the elements of the settlement. Some of them are repaired in building structures but material changes and others change following the development of the settlement orientation process. These changes undermine the identity, character, and potential of river architecture and settled cultures that were originally in harmony with river life. The purpose of this study was to explore the incidence and explanation of changes in the settlement elements in the Musi River and the architectural aspects of the house and residential type through a qualitative approach. Data collection is done qualitatively by using data collecting technique that is field observation, depth interview, and literature study. The analytical technique used is through qualitative approach of case study with a combination of strategies that identify elements of rural community settlements with triangulation. This study found the change of the settlement elements of the Musi River Palembang River from the river-oriented to the land-oriented. This study concludes that changes in the architecture and building system of river settlements that include changes in the orientation of buildings to rivers, the addition of space under the stilts, material changes, changes in the function of house space, and changes in river environmental infrastructure caused by the influence and development of land-oriented culture settlements, based on the elements of settlement on the banks of the River Musi Palembang.

Eksistensi Sungai Musi pada awalnya menjadi orientasi bangunan rumah yang menghadap ke sungai. Ruang air mulai di persempit dengan kehadiran bangunan baru yang menempati area diatas lahan yang tertutup air. Perubahan budaya sungai ke darat berpengaruh kepada kehadiran bangunan baik yang lama maupun yang baru. Hal ini menyebabkan hilangnya potensi lokal dan identitas arsitektur lokal dan berakibat hilangnya eksistensi sungai tersebut. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui pengaruh eksistensi sungai Musi dalam perubahan orientasi permukiam tepi sungai dari ruang air ke ruang darat. Untuk mencapai tujuan tersebut, studi mengidentifikasi jejak arsitektur permukiman, mengekplorasi aktivitas dan gagasan masyarakat tepian sungai. Pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui observasi lapangan, wawancara mendalam, dan studi pustaka. Analisis dilakukan secara kualitattif terhadap variabel, orientasi, posisi, bentuk, dan tata letak hunian tepi sungai. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa sebagian besar rumah tepian sungai yang dibangun pada area aliran anak sungai masih memiliki orientasi ke sungai. Sedangkan rumah yang dibangun pada area yang dekat dengan jalan bergeser lebih orientasi ke darat. Studi menyimpulkan bahwa Perubahan orientasi permukiman tepian sungai disebabkan oleh perubahan eksistensi Sungai Musi Palembang.

Peri-karst is an area located on the outside of karst formations but still the habitat of trogloxene and stygoxene. Long Lanuk village located on Peri-Karst zone of the Sangkulirang-Mangkalihat Karst area. The exploration of the natural resources in Long Lanuk village trigger changes in the pattern of community interaction. The research aims to discover (1) the factors that affect the sustainability of the environment caused by the interaction of behavioural pattern of Peri-Karst community; (2) analyse the level of sustainability of the Peri-Karst on society and (3) formulate management strategies related to the sustainability of Peri-Karst livelihood in the Karst area of Sangkulirang-Mangkalihat, East Kalimantan.
