They are most commonly buit over water, athough they may also lines. be buit over dit or sand, Humans have been building sit houses for thousands of years, and today people al over the planet stl choose to build them. From South East Asia and Papua New Guinea to West Africa and South America, houses constructed in this style are extremely popular. Go to the beautiful city of Venice in northern tay, and you will se almost an entire city buit on stilts! There are many advantages to stit houses. Building on stits helps to protect houses from floods. Stit houses are not difficult o construct and can be built on land that might otherwise be unsuitable for housing (eg, hillsides and lakes). The height of stit houses serves to keep out vermin Such as rats and ‘mice, 2s well as other wild animals. Studies have even indicated that living in tit houses lowers the risk of mosquito bites (and hence the dangerous disease malaria) because mosquitoes ar less likely to enter houses high above the ground surface! In Thailand, Vietnam and Indonesia stilt houses are common. The area beneath the house is often used for storage or lounging in the daytime, and sometimes for livestock. Many Brazilians living along the mighty Amazon river lve in stit houses, as they know thats the only way to prevent their homes from being destroyed by water when the Amazon floods. Inthe mountainous Hunan Province in China, the Han, Tuja, Miao, Hui, Yao, Dong and Zhuang peoples have managed to inhabit the steep mountains by building sit houses. Today, stit houses are gaining popularity in certain parts of the USA, particularly along the Gulf Coast where the threat of hurricanes is severe. The reason is that during a hurricane, stit houses do not get the full foree of the wind as it has somewhere else to pass, namely under the house. In the future, stilt houses will probably become even more common around the globe. Scientists think that global warming, will ead to rising sea levels and increased flooding in many cites. In order to deal with this, houses will have to be built on stilts. Imagine .. one day you might only need to jump out of your window to get your moming shower!
