1. Introduction
1.1. Research Context
Bangkalan Regency, located on the western edge of
Madura Island in the East Java province of Indonesia,
is a region with a rich coastal heritage. While the
regency itself boasts a direct coastline along the Java
Sea, its influence extends beyond the immediate
coastal areas, impacting even those villages that are
not directly on the coast. One such village is Alang-
Alang, situated in the Tragah sub-district of
Bangkalan. Though not directly on the shoreline,
Alang-Alang's proximity to the coast and its position Fig. 1 Map of Madura
within the Bangkalan Regency means it is not immune
to the broader maritime influences and the wave of
modernization sweeping the region.
in summary, even though Alang-Alang may not be
directly on the coastline, its connection to the coastal
heritage of Bangkalan Regency is significant. The
influence of the coast is evident in various aspects of
the village's life, including its economy, culture, and
traditions.
Taneyan Lanjhang there are 5 building masses with
each mass house one specific room. There are 2 mass
for bedroom, one mass for religious activity and
kitchen, one outdoor bathroom mass and one mass for
livestock coop. The detail of each mass will be
explained in more detailed manner in further chapter.
2. Research Methodology
2.1. Study Area
This study is conducted in the village of Alang –
alang which is located in subdistrict of Kragah in
Bangkalan regency. This village is chosen for the
sampling location due to its location in the Bangkalan.
This village is located in the middle region of
Bangkalan which is quite far from the center of
population of Bangkalan which is located in the
coastal area of Bangkalan. The existence of Taneyan
Lanjhang is still found in this village, Taneyan
