The concept of physics can be applied to aspects of customs and culture in order to preserve local wisdom. One way to introduce the customs and culture of the local area can be done by studying traditional houses. Jambi traditional house is one of the local wisdoms that every generation needs to know. The foundation structure of the Jambi traditional house uses wooden poles arranged to support the weight above where. Mass of each pole has a correlation with the amount of load that has been distributed evenly. The purpose of this study is to analyze and explain the application of physics concepts in the foundation structure of traditional Jambi houses and to build character education to new generation. The process of collecting data is done by interview, observation, and documentation. Based on the data analysis, it is shown that the mass of each pole is strong enough to support the live and dead load that has been analyzed. Because it has a pole mass greater than the distributed load. So this can educate the new generation to know the process of making foundation structures that are done with certain calculations that can be analyzed through the concept of physics.
