| Summary: | Modifications to houses can generally be seen not only in terms of changes to the physical structure as measured by certain standards, but even more so in terms of the interaction between the house and its inhabitants over a period of time. These changes, arising as a logical consequence of the interaction between the house and its inhabitants over a certain time period, are both quantitatively and qualitatively reflect the cultural background of the inhabitants. From a non-physical perspective, this interaction may bring about changes, not only to the physical structure of the house but also to the surrounding environment, which are related to the social-cultural background of the inhabitants.
The results of this analysis describe the quality of the relationship between changes in house structure and the social-economic and cultural background of the occupants. Finally, this study will add to our knowledge of Minahasa social-economic and social-cultural systems, with regard to the role they play in changes to the physical structure of their homes.
