Active and passive adaptation of floating houses (Rumah Lanting) to the tides of the Melawi river in West Kalimantan, Indonesia

Floating houses or Rumah Lanting are one of the settlement cultures found in most river streams in Kalimantan and are observed to be different from several other houses in the area. They are mitigation-proof houses designed to respond to the risk of disasters usually experienced in the traditional s...
