Abstract

This article analyses the implications of the knowledge of the Ogan community in South Sumatra (Indonesia) about the types of land on the banks of the river on the layout of their settlements. Living on the river bank is an important identity for the Ogan Ulu community, but the condition of their rivers which tend to run watery and the inappropriate land use, of course, will have an impact on the destruction of settlements and their natural environment. Through anthropological studies, the results of the study show that the use of land on the river banks are not arbitrary, but it is based on how the community interprets the classification of soil types and the river’s behaviour in the river environment. This article confirms that the river’s behaviour and classification of soil types have implications for the community’s struggle to maintain settlements as their identity while preserving the river’s environment.
