Abstract

this study aims at discussing the meaning of the motive and the form of the Dulohupa traditional house. The method used in this study was qualitative-descriptive approach as a process of collecting a number of actual data and to get a detailed description of the symbols in the Dulohupa traditional house. The results of this study show that the meaning of the symbol in the Dulohupa traditional house is in the form of a roof made of planks, a staircase consisting of two pieces, the front part is on the part of the door, the wooden pillars and the number of stairs. The roof of the Dulohupa traditional house is shaped like a saddle, which is a two-story triangle roof depicting the population of Gorontalo. The upper roof illustrates the Gorontalo people's belief in the Almighty God, while the lower roof describes the trust of the Gorontalo people in customs and culture. This study concludes that the Dulohupa traditional house has many meanings and symbols that need to be preserved, by knowing the meaning and motives that exist, it is expected that the Gorontalo people respect customs more.
