History and Settlement Patterns
According to folklore, which is still believed to be truthful by the local community. Kampung Laut is a native son descended from the warriors of Mataram. The warriors of Mataram at the time had come to the Village area to secure the territorial waters of the Sea ly from the disruption of the Portuguese pirates. The soldiers were led by four people wiratamtama, which is called Keep the Playa, Keep the Praya, Official Guard and Marine Guard. Thanks to the miracle of the wiratamtama that the waters of Cilacap and finally ly safe, free from pirate interference.
After a safe state, it turns out the wiratamtama and his men did not want to go back to the center of the kingdom of Mataram, but remained in Cilacap and surrounding areas such as Playa Guard and Praya Guard later settled in the area now called Klapalima, meanwhile, Official Guard and Marine Guard chose lived on the island of Nusakambangan. Official Keep living in the area now called Legok Pari, while residing in the Sea Guard Yellow or Gebang now better known as the Yellow Flower.
When the rule of the kingdom of Mataram increasingly weakened and ultimately controlled by the Dutch East Indies government, many areas had been the territory of Mataram, turning to the power of the Dutch East Indies. Cilacap and thus reclaiming that time under the authority of the Government of the Netherlands East Indies was chosen for the disposal of those who violate the law and the power of the Dutch East Indies government.
The inmates who are reclaiming that time not well taken care of by the government of the Netherlands East Indies, so that not a few of those who interfere with the inhabitants previous Nusakambangan island, namely the children and descendants Guard Sea Guard official and his subordinates. Because of that they then get away from reclaiming the island, and make the houses where they lived at sea ly. In this ly then standing groups are a collection of residential homes, houses an intangible houses on stilts. In line with the changing times, each housing group was growing, so eventually form something the village. Such villages are spread in the region ly. Because the villages were located in marine waters (ly), then later called Kampung Laut. Another name from Kampung Laut is Bejagan or Pejagan. This name is also associated with the story above, that ly is where the soldiers were on guard to the Mataram kingdom this area is safe, free from disturbance of the sea bajk.
At the time of independence, several adjacent villages merged into a district or village. Kampung Laut is now administratively divided into three village areas, namely Ujungalang, located in the South, or Karanganyar Ujunggagak Panikel to the west and residing in the North.
Until the 1970s until the early 1980s dwelling houses in Kampung Laut is still a house on stilts.The houses that his form was like the houses of Java in general, the shape of a rectangle with a roof or Limasan Srotong Kampung model, built on wooden poles tancang. High cantilever beams this ranged from 4 to 7 meters, which is plugged into the bottom of the sea at low tide.Framework home tancang generally made of wood, who was easily obtained in mangrove forests. There also are using wood blocks or Laban or other type of timber that can be obtained from reclaiming. Floor and roof frame (kaso and battens) are generally also of wood tancang, which are small and straight. The walls of the house quite varied. There are boards made of wood or gebyok, there is made of woven bamboo, or there is also a form of welit or awning, which is woven palm leaves. The roof is generally in the form welit palm leaves, or zinc. Tile roof is not desirable because of the weight. Lined residential location patterns are generally elongated. When there are two rows, then the existing houses in a single series, will be built in rows facing the other, and between two rows of houses there like a bridge walkway, which is also made of wood. A village may consist of four rows of houses or more.
By the 1980s the houses increasingly disappearing stage. Cause, except for those more difficult to get wood or wood tancang other types that are considered good for building houses, as well as the more rapid the rate of silting of the sea as a result of sedimentation of mud at any time by sunga0sungai existing heaped on ly north. Facing such a situation, there are people who do not replace the pillars sustaining the damaged house with wood, meguruk emalinkan later stage under the house with soil taken from reclaiming or land use arise. Little by little, under the house which had been a watery room, increasingly filled with soil. Finally, all filled with the soil under the house. The success of under-fill under the house was later imitated by all villagers.Even under-under the bridge to the road, covering, as well as mutual assistance, so that eventually the entire area where the settlement was to be the mainland. Today has been difficult to find a house that stood on the stage of sea water.
Form or model building rumahpun much has changed, changed the shape or model of modern houses as there are in cities. House building materials are no longer dominated by wood.Timber materials are generally only for the roof frame and frame-frame. Old wood floor has now been replaced with cement or ceramic. Similarly walls. Who used a zinc roof or welit, now generally in the form of clay tile.
Although in the form and building materials home has undergone many changes, but the layout pattern of housing, particularly in settlements where the inhabitants of livelihood as a fisherman, there are still many who follow the old pattern. As mentioned above, the pattern layout of an old-fashioned housing is lined pattern. In a single row of houses facing the same red Kea. Front of the houses there is a public road. This road will also exposes an advanced standard for homes that are in rows in front of him, so that the housing layout pattern is formed in two rows where the middle lane stretch of public road.
For the sake of ease of transportation of water, behind the houses that lined it made water channels or ditches that connect settlements to the sea. Small docks located behind the houses. So if the road is located between two rows of houses that each turn one (Ungkur-ungkuran, red: Java language).
