Riau and West Sumatra have shared history from the days of the Old Malay Kingdom, Sriwijaya, Dharmasraya, Malayupura (Minangkabau), Islamic Sultanates, etc. The traditional house of Rumah Godang in Batang Kuantan region somehow have some similarities to the Rumah Gadang in Tanah Datar. No researcher has tried to discuss the relationship among them. Therefore, this study tries to explore the linkage of their architectural characteristics. This study uses a qualitative method by comparing the architectural characteristics of the two buildings from the data obtained in the field. The results of the study indicates a linkage, even a liniage. Through cultural borrowings or continuation process, the spatial systems (genotype) have consistency. The form systems (phenotype) are almost consistent; only in material use. However, the stylistic systems have inconsistencies. Those systems experienced transformation through the local cultural innovations, the outside civilizations influence, or the change of the kingdom authority.

The Dharmasraya was in the region between Hulu-Batanghari (Padang Roco and Sungai Dareh) and Batang Kuantan (Lubuk Jambi - Taluk Kuantan) and eventually became the subordinate kingdom of the Malayapura and subsequently under the Pagaruyung Sultanate as the subordinate territory (Rantau or Hilir or Downstream) of Luhak Tanah Datar (Darek or Hulu or Upstream); one of the central of Luhak Nan Tigo. The relationship between the regions in history and myths may indicate cultural relations, especially in their traditional houses. How are the architectural characteristics of the Rumah Gadang in Dharmasraya and Rumah Godang in Batang Kuantan? This research method is qualitative, by conducting a literature review, field study, to be analyzed architecturally to get a clear conclusion. The results showed the architectural similiarities and linkage between Rumah Gadang in the area of Dharmasraya and Rumah Godang in Batang Kuantan area, especially in their spatial systems and shape-form systems.

Abstrak_Dalam catatan sejarah, wilayah Kampar pernah menjadi wilayah Rantau (Hilir) dari wilayah Luhak Limapuluh Koto yang merupakan wilayah Darek (Hulu), di mana kedua wilayah ini dihubungkan oleh Sungai Kampar. Wilayah Kampar juga pernah menjadi bagian wilayah Sumatera Tengah, dan pernah dua kali berpisah; pertama oleh pemekaran yang dilakukan oleh Pemerintah Kolonial Belanda dan kedua oleh Presiden Soekarno setelah pemberontakan PRRI-Permesta dikalahkan. Bahkan kedua wilayah ini berbagi sejarah di masa klasik, terutama sejarah Kerajaan Melayu Tua, Kerajaan Sriwijaya, Kerajaan Dharmasraya, dan Kerajaan Malayupura, hingga masa Kesultanan Pagaruyung. Secara arsitektur, Rumah Lontiok di Kampar dan Rumah Gadang di Limapuluh Koto secara sekilas memiliki hubungan dan banyak kesamaan. Bagaimana keterkaitan karakteristik arsitektur antara keduanya?. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menemukan keterkaitan antara kedua rumah tradisional tersebut. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif untuk mendapatkan hasil yang komprehensif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan keterkaitan secara umum di antara kedua rumah tersebut, bahkan perkembangan transformasi (lineage).Kata kunci: Rumah Gadang; Rumah Lontiok; Arsitektur Vernakular; Rumah Austronesia. Abstract_ In history, Kampar Region was the Rantau (Hilir or Downstream) region of Limapuluh Koto's Darek (Hulu or Upstream), where the two regions are connected by the Kampar River.
