Ogan-Besemah - Settlements



People in the area live largely in villages ( dusun ) ranging from several hundred to several thousand persons in size. In the western half of the area villagers may spend much of the year living in small dwellings ( talang ) near their garden sites a considerable distance from the village. In the 1980s, most houses were single-family wooden structures with iron roofs, divided into a front reception area, a back kitchen, and one or more sleeping rooms.
