Toba Batak Land is one of the areas in North Sumatra Province that have dominant culture characterized by among others by: (1) the majority of indigenous Batak people; (2) Batak culture (Toba) becomes a reference for the behavior of the population in interacting in local public places; (3) Batak leadership is implemented based on elements of Batak culture. In the meantime, there are also ethnic groups of immigrants, Hindus and Christians. The embodiment of ethnicity of ethnic groups of migrants finally can integrate culturally because there are similarities of divine concepts such as Trimurti on Hindu teachings, Debata na tolu on the teachings of Parmalin in Batak Toba, as well as the Trinity in the teachings of Christians

An area is basically formed due to geographical conditions and local cultural aspects that influence it. In this Pangururan village, its geographical condition is close to Lake Toba, and the Toba Batak culture is the most abundant culture in this region. The Toba Batak culture generally inhabits around of Lake Toba in North Sumatra, which means it is located between a lake and a mountain so that the average community works as fishermen and farmers. This led to the growth of settlements around the hill area and also on the edge around Lake Toba. This is certainly an aspect that affects the characterizing of the cultural spatial structure of Pangururan district context. The purpose of this study was to get an overview of the Cultural Spatial Structure of Pangururan Regency.

The objective of this study is to investigate morphological system of Toba Batak language from the view of generative transformational study. The major issue in this microlinguistic study is word formations through the processes of affixation, reduplication, and compounding. Most studies done morphologically are structural based theory which explore language phenomena unsatisfactorily. For instance, in Indonesian language the following forms are never found: *ambilan “something taken”, *berpesawat “go by aeroplane”, *keobatan “being dead or sick because of consuming too much medicine”. We, on the other hand, will find the words kiriman “something sent”, bersepeda “go by bicycle”, keracunan “being dead or sick because of consuming something poisonous”. In Toba Batak language, for example, we will not find the words *lehonan “a give”, *marsintua “visit a church functionary to consult something”, *mamiso “use a knife to cut something”. Whereas the forms tongosan “something sent”, mardatu “go to a shaman to ask for help”, and manakkul “use a hoe to do the farm” are actual words that have been used by Toba Batak language speakers. Based on the Toba Batak language phenomena above, the most relevant theory to be applied to treat such problems and the like exhaustively from descriptive to explanatory adequacy is generative morphology. In so doing, this study rests on the theory of generative morphology proposed by Halle (1973), Aronoff (1976), Scalise (1984), and Dardjowidjojo (1988). The theory requires four separated components, they are: (1) List of Morphemes, (2) Word Formation Rules, (3) Filter, and (4) Dictionary. Generative morphology has predictive power to generate actual words and potential words. The method of the study that will be applied is qualitative descriptive method, that is, a kind of linguistic method to describe language phenomena naturally without manipulation. This research will be conducted in 4 regencies in North Sumatra, they are: (1) Samosir Regency, (2) Toba Samosir Regency, (3) Humbang Hasundutan Regency, and (4) North Tapanuli Regency. There are three types of data that will be collected in this study, they are: (1) oral, (2) written, and (3) intuition. Oral data will be collected by observing, interviewing, listening attentively, and chatting with the informants. Written data will be originated from story books in Toba Batak language and bible in Toba Batak language. Intuition data will be based on the writer’s intuition because the writer is a native Toba Batak language speaker. The data will be analyzed using equal and distributional methods.

Ulos is a traditional Batak clothing that we can find in traditional events; birth, marriage, death and other Batak traditional ceremonies such as: Mandailing, Pakpak, Dairi, Sipirok-Angkola and Karo. Apart from being a typical cloth in the Batak community, Ulos is believed to be able to create a feeling of warmth and raise tondi (raga) because of the 'sacred' element inherent in Ulos. In the past, Ulos cloth was woven by 'spiritual' weavers using natural dyes. Ulos cloth is also a regional marker cloth; social level, and clan (surname). So not just any Ulos cloth can be given to someone or the community. Batak Opera Training Center (PLOt) Pematang Siantar. North Sumatra is one of the Ulos cloth user communities in every activity. The Batak Opera Group has undoubtedly existed until now. His performances reached many countries. The plays that are played also tell about the life of the Batak people and the epics of Batak heroism. The group's mission is to protect cultural heritage and develop traditional arts. For this reason, every stage of the PLOt is faithful in using hand-woven Ulos cloth. Judging from the patterns, colors and motifs of the Ulos fabrics used by PLOt, they seem "luxurious" because of their artistic value. This, of course, is not just any modification made by PLOt because the function and meaning of Ulos cloth is culturally meaningful with customary provisions. In this regard, we tried to examine the function and meaning of the Ulos cloth in the Batak Opera Training Center group which is domiciled in Pematang Siantar. North Sumatra. This research is also part of the task of the Center for Traditional Clothing Studies, which is not only examining patterns and motifs but furthermore the use of Ulos cloth outside of traditional events and traditional ceremonies.Keywords: ulos, custom, meaning, function, PLOt. AbstrakUlos merupakan pakaian tradisi yang dapat kita lihat dalam berbagai acara adat Batak seperti; lahiran, pernikahan, kematian dan upacara-upacara adat Batak lainnya di sub Batak; Mandailing, Pakpak, Dairi, Sipirok-Angkola dan Karo. Selain sebagai kain khas di masyarakat Batak, Ulos diyakini dapat menimbulkan rasa hangat dan menaikkan tondi (raga) karena unsur ‘sakral’ yang melekat didalam Ulos. Pada masa lalu kain Ulos ditenun oleh penenun ‘spritual’ dengan menggunakan pewarna alami. Kain Ulos juga merupakan kain penanda daerah; tingkatan sosial dan marga (nama keluarga). Maka tidak sembarang kain Ulos dapat diberikan kepada seseorang ataupun komunitas. Pusat Latihan Opera Batak (PLOt) Pematang Siantar. Sumatera Utara salah satu komunitas pengguna kain Ulos dalam setiap kegiatannya. Group Opera Batak ini sampai sekarang masih bertahan dan eksis dalam berbagai pertunjukan. Pentas-pentasnya merambah banyak negara. Lakon-lakon yang dimainkan berkisah tentang kehidupan masyarakat Batak dan epos kepahlawanan Batak. Misi group ini menjaga warisan budaya dan mengembangkan seni tradisi. Untuk itu, setiap pemanggungannya PLOt setia dalam menggunakan kain Ulos hasil tenunan tangan. Dilihat dari corak, warna dan motif kain-kain Ulos yang digunakan PLOt terkesan ‘mewah’ karena nilai artistik didalamnya. Hal ini, tentunya tidak sembarang modifikasi yang dilakukan oleh PLOt karena fungsi dan makna kain Ulos secara budaya memiliki arti yang sarat dengan ketentuan adat. Dalam hal tersebut, kami mencoba meneliti fungsi dan makna kain Ulos pada group Pusat Latihan Opera Batak yang berdomisili di Pematang Siantar. Sumatera Utara. Penelitian ini juga sebagai bagian dari tugas Pusat Kajian Pakaian Tradisi yang tidak saja meneliti corak dan motif tapi lebih jauh penggunaan kain Ulos diluar acara adat dan upacara-upacara adat.Kata Kunci: ulos, adat, makna, fungsi, PLOt.Authors: Enrico Alamo : Institut Seni Indonesia PadangpanjangMeria Eliza : Institut Seni Indonesia PadangpanjangGiat Syailillah : Institut Seni Indonesia PadangpanjangReferences:Alamo, E., Minawati, R., Sulaiman, S., & Novalinda, S.

The Batak are the majority in North Sumatra. The Batak tribe even has another sub-tribe, namely Toba  Batak, Karo Batak, Simalungun Batak, Mandailing Batak and Angkola Batak. Every Batak tribe has its own  distinctive culture and identity. Batak tribes have traditional buildings which are traditional Batak  architectural identities. The diversity of the Batak tribe caused the phenomenon of visual aspect equality in  traditional buildings because of the effects of secession and cultural integration. The Toba Batak  architecture has the concept of a stilt house and pointed gable construction in both directions and a peg and pen structure system is evidence of similarities with Angkola Batak architecture. Angkola Bataks are part of the Batak tribe. Angkola Batak is a tribe in the area of South Tapanuli. The Toba Batak is the center of the Batak culture. The Toba Batak has one of the traditional Sopo buildings, namely Sopo. Sopo functions as a barn, but also an art venue and meeting place. Angkola Batak has one traditional building that represents the traditional architecture of the Angkola Batak namely Sopo Godang. Serves as a meeting place for the king and the people. It is a place where tradition is based on Dalihan Na Tolu which produces consensus and mutual agreement (The King and People). Sopo Godang is a part of traditional Batak architecture that needs to be preserved. The benefit of this study is to collect data on traditional Angkola Batak architecture and data on structures that are characteristic of the Angkola Batak

This paper is the result of observations and analysis of religious sociology on the traditional mangongkal holi rituals in Pahae Julu, North Tapanuli Regency, North Sumatra. This paper aims to explore and explain the social and cultural values contained in this traditional ritual. This ritual survives and adheres to the Toba Batak tribe even though its implementation has been adapted to the teachings of Christianity prevailing in the Batak Land. Some of the social and cultural values contained in the ritual still survive and are important for the Toba Batak people. To approach this problem, theoretical references from Emile Durkheim and Max Weber are used. Data was collected through literature studies, interviews, and direct observations of these traditional rituals in the Pahae Julu area, as well as qualitative analysis. This paper concludes that this traditional ritual contains mechanical solidarity and the role of the charismatic ritual leader for the Batak people.

This study uses descriptive qualitative research method. The findings of this research showed that the process of acculturation Malay and Muslim Toba Batak culture in the city emerged from the government of Tanjungbalai Sultan Asahan I who ruled in the city before the independence era of the Republic of Indonesia. Religious leaders (ulama) and traditional leaders also played a role in the acculturation process of Malay cultural values in Tanjungbalai, especially in the Batak Toba ethnic Muslim milieu. Acculturation between these two cultures gave birth to a Malay culture which led to a different characteristic to the Malay culture in the archipelago.

Penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian kualitatif deskriptif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa proses akulturasi budaya Melayu dan budaya Batak Toba Muslim di kota Tanjungbalai berawal  dari  pemerintah Sultan Asahan I yang memerintah di kota Tanjungbalai sebelum kemerdekaan  Negara Republik Indonesia.
