The method used in this research is a historical research method consisting of several stages: heuristics, criticism, interpretation, and historiography. The author sought and collected all sources that could provide information on the research topic, including written, oral, and artifacts. Written sources include the personal archives of traditional transportation owners (photos of the boat, sampan, tempek, and ketek), village archives, theses, journals, and books obtained through library research and the internet (Google Scholar). While artifacts/objects were obtained through physical observations of the three traditional modes of transportation.
