This paper aims to analyze the variations in bale-bales : Endai-like street furniture found on the islands of Makassar, Indonesia. The findings from fieldwork, mapping, observations and interviews, are as follows:
(1) The basic characteristics of bale-bale are common among the 5 islands, but the positions and styles of bale-bales are different on each island.
(2) The positions of bale-bale are influenced by the modernization of the house style. From rumah panggung (stilted houses) to landed houses, the position of the bale-bale can be located from under the house to in to the yard, and on to the street.
(3) The Lae-lae and Kodingareng Lompo Islands, on which modernized houses are developed, have hut-style public bale-bales. In addition, four-islands far from Makassar city feature low bale-bales.
