STUDY ON BALE BALE IN LAE LAE ISLE, MAKASSAR, INDONESIA

Abstract

This study aims to examine the types and characteristics of Bale bale, and to identify Bale bale as a common space in a high-density environment on Lae Lae isle, Makassar-Indonesia. With the aid of 62 questionnaires, a field survey of 225 Bale bale was undertaken in November 2009 and September 2010. The following are the main findings of this study: (1) The owner can put their Bale bales anywhere on Lae Lae isle and they can move their Bale bales from one place to another, including neighbors without permission. (2)Bale bale is classified into five types, namely, siring, terrace, yard, roadside, and seashore. (3) The Bale bale takes either of two forms: prototype and hut shaped. (4) The direction of the Bale bale prototype is either one way, facing the street, inside, and on the house's sides. The direction of the hut-shaped Bale bale is toward the house, toward the street, and toward the sea. (5) The roadside Bale bale is used more often than the other types. Sitting and chatting are the most frequent activities performed by islanders on the Bale bale. Sleeping, eating, , and repairing boat machines are mostly done by Lae Lae islanders on roadside and seashore Bale bales.
