2. Methodology
This research develops a descriptive research method through field observation concerning the settlement condition,
environmental and culture of particular society. Data collected through observation guidance such building function and
condition, infrastructure condition, effect of former lead mining toward the community socially, economically, and culturally, and
building pattern. Data are gathered and considered toward urban design
guidelines that appropriate to commercial area which has change from shop house become shop and swallow bird nest breeding.
Artificial condition of swallow life was developed as a reason of economical profit.
3. Culture
Culture generally refers to the patterns of human activity and the symbolic structures that give such activity significance.
Anthropologists understand culture to refer not only to consumption goods, but to the general processes which produce
such goods and give them meaning, and to the social relationship and practices, thus it mean that culture includes technology, art,
science as well as moral and system of belief. Wikipeda Encyclopedia.
Urban area in reality is a melting pot where cultures mixed and grow to be new culture. Urban live style could be
derived from multiculturalism of several ethnic groups that move from other city or rural area to gain higher income, or higher
study. Maintain their cultures and settled in a group with automatically develop into a name of kampong, such as Pecinan
or kampong China, kampong Melayu, kampong Java, kampong Bali, and many other ethnic due to condition that Indonesia has
many great and smaller ethnic group. Groups of cultures interact one to another, settled by a number of other culture such as
European, Indonesian, Chinese and other Asia people grow to be multicultural city. Dabosingkep has multi ethnic nature of city,
such as populate of Malay, Java, Minang, China, Bugis that has a long acculturation, a process by which continuous contact
between two or more distinct societies causes cultural change. Acculturation as a result of married also found as example many
Malay people married to Bugis, Java, and China.
The origin of Dabosingkep as the former largest lead mining since 1812 in the Dutch era and transfer to Indonesia
since independence until 1992, shown that cluster pattern in Dabosingkep is different, each ethnic group live in the same
complex. Actually Dabosingkep and Bangka had a same lead mining, but it grow differently.

Bangka and it still be recognized up to now as vocabulary Ciam or Jian in Mandarin for driller, sakan or sieve for tin sand, until
Kolong as terminology of the name of big mining hole from dialect Ke Jia ethnic. Some of Tionghoa traditions also still hold
out up to now in Dabosingkep without separation. China communities and Minang also has a great role in economic factor,
since Dutch handle mining production.
4. Human Development
The indicators
of development
are economic,
environmental change, food, health, knowledge, natural resource and ecosystem, population and settlement, value and culture.
After lead excavation closed, Tionghoa society in Dabo develops swallow farming besides commercial activity, while
Malay and other ethnics mostly became rubber and coconut farmer, and more than 5 are fisherman. The settlement cluster
became changes as followed as lively hold condition.
Kolong a big mining hole as a picturesque of lead mining excavation, added now by high form of tall building changes from
one floor shop house shape town become high building with three or four floors represent the shop and nest of wallet building.
Digging sounds become electric of swallow sound pollution invite bird to build a nest is a typical of everyday atmosphere live in
Dabosingkep.
Young generations try to get higher income or other employment by leaves Dabosingkep, the impact of this condition
is ghost town since only unproductive people, children and oldest generation in the town. Uncreative or have no capital to
developed new job as substitute of lead mining cultivation activity represent needed local government help to promote new job
opportunity.
5. Ecosystem
Environmental impact of cities growth can be approach from population impact, ecological footprint and sustainability
assessment. High density has connotation as unsustainable although rural or low
– density land uses not always environmentally friendly. Human must maintain an adaptive
relationship with their ecosystem in order to survive, and address poverty and in equity if won’t face greater damage to ecosystem.
The mining industry is the process of extracting mineral resources from the earth so they can be made into essential products
required by our society. The worlds ability to support its population is sustained by the many minerals provided by mining.
Almost all of mankinds material needs must be dug from the earth, grown in the soil, or taken from the sea.
