Abstract
This study aimed to analyze the vulnerability of privately-owned cultural heritage buildings due to user's rehabilitation and reconstruction before and after the 2009 West Sumatra earthquake. This research clarified that roof was the most vulnerable element in term of maintenance and rehabilitation. Nevertheless, high affection of the users to the original building's style supports the existence of its originality. Maladaptive recovery framework for building tenants forced them to develop "potong-sewa" system at local level. Further, lack of technical guidance on the nature of non-engineered recovery, encourages 7 variation recovery options in the term of materials, retrofitting techniques and buildings appearance.
