Abstract

This report shows rebuilding process of the custom house at Sumba Island in Indonesia. We focused one village, Wunga which follows their own common practice of long standing in this district. In the construction process, there are no specialists such as carpenters, and it is worked forward by the hand only for a large number of villagers of the neighborhood. 1 To study about this subject we also follow another example from all over the south-east Asian countries and other villages in Sumba Island. Some of the houses and villages are realized by using 3D CAD system. 2 All of the construction materials are collected within the range of life by themselves. We followed each of the process and realized their cost. 3 They are proceeding with praying courtesy at the turning point of each process. We also recorded it by shouting full scene and translated each word and concerned their meanings.
