Abstract
A houses condition in Papua is an interesting phenomenon to be studied. Houses in Papua are built by local people who generally do not have special expertise in carpentry. Joint system used is the transformation from bonded joint that ever existed and used in traditional houses of Papua and nowadays, the trend moves to nail joint. The transition indeed causes some problems. On the basis of set forth background, the objective of this research is to review indigenous bonded joint to improve the physical quality of vernacular houses which are occupied by local people in Papua. Analysis method used is comparison method, this method is done by comparing the houses joint systems through four comparison variables: structure, material, skill and architectural application and then determining the vernacular joint system that still can be maintained, vernacular joint system which requires intervention and vernacular joint system that is not recommended for use anymore. Analysis outcome proved that the traditional bonded joint system is still relevant for use in Papua nowadays. Bonded joint can be used until the public understands the force distribution system, loading and stiffness in the structure and has been able to use the wood joint which complies with the standard.
