Abstract
Minangkabau is a tribe in West Sumatra with a matrilineal kinship system, which draws lineage based on the mother's ethnicity. Therefore, women are the main characters in the tribe. Minangkabau women who are married, wise, and elder are called Bundo Kanduang, who have duties and obligations to carry out. Given the importance of the role of Bundo Kanduang, it is necessary to know how the role of Bundo Kanduang can be carried out in the Rumah Gadang, both physically/real and non-physical/imaginary. The research method used is an ethnographic method with a qualitative analysis approach using the theory of the third space from Edward Soja. Based on the analysis, it was found that the activities of Bundo Kanduang in carrying out its role have been facilitated in the Rumah Gadang, both physically and non-physically, even beyond what is known as third space.
Highlights
Minangkabau is a tribe in West Sumatra, which has a culture in the form of values, norms, rules that govern the social system of its people
According to Soja, the concept of the third space is the development of the first space and the second space
The role is a set of behavior that is expected to be possessed in society, as well as the role of Bundo Kandung in the Minangkabau tribes
Summary
Minangkabau is a tribe in West Sumatra, which has a culture in the form of values, norms, rules that govern the social system of its people. Bundo Kanduang as a representative of women should have a special 'place' in the Rumah gadang, especially in the interior of the house as the main facility for daily activities and traditional ceremonies. Because not all the facilities of the Bundo Kandung space can be seen as real, this research will use space theory that considers Edward Soja's imagination/unreal space, namely The Third Space, to analyze the spatial facilities in the role of Bundo Kanduang, especially in the interior of the Rumah gadang. Given the importance of the role of Bundo Kanduang for the progress of the Minangkabau community, this research was conducted in order to find out what the facilities for Bundo Kanduang's activities are like in the building of the Rumah gadang while carrying out their duties and obligations. The results obtained are expected to be a guide for the building and interior of the Rumah gadang and documented so that it is sustainable so that it can be passed on to future generations
