Abstract

Cultural richness in Indonesia, including its vernacular settlement and architecture, are strategic sources for tourism development in the country. The program usually promotes cultural authenticity as touristic spectacles. It encourages the local people to preserve their ethnic characters, including their vernacular architecture and settlement. In reality, the success of the preservation does not impede the transformations of the dwelling culture. This study is conducted through field observations and documentations in Bena and Tololela Hamlets, in Ngada Regency, in Flores Island, Indonesia. Further, we analyzed this dynamic of the Ngadha vernacular settlement and architecture, and narrate it using a re- domestication framework, in the following three milestones of transformation phases: 1) the introduction of the Catholic religion in the early 20th century, 2) national development in the 1980s, and 3) tourism and globalization in 2010. Support on preservation and adaptation of homestay program into sa'o (house) and nua (village) is the result of the contemporary progression itself. The local practice of clan system, voe sustain the people to keep their existence, despite the present changes. Keywords: Ngadha, sa’o, voe, re-domestication, domesticity, domestic space, tourism.
