Abstract Mopugad village was formed by the transmigration of Balinese people to the Bolaang Mongondow area in 1953. The Balinese who entered Bolaang Mongondow built the environment of their settlement with characteristic features but modernization began to change the character of typical settlements. In non-physical terms, the traditions and religious belief of the Mopugad village community are still very closely linked with Balinese culture and Hinduism because the local community still carries the Balinese way of thinking to their everyday life in the village of Mopugad. On the other hand, in physical terms, any every element of architectural change that is formed based on the adaptation of local ethnic and inherited ethnic is important to learn to know the characteristics of settlement in the Mopugad Village and how its sustainability. This research was carried out with the qualitative method through field observations and rationalistic analysis. The results of this study consist of the characteristics of occupancy in the village of Mopugad derived from the interpretation of the adaptation of local ethnic architecture and innate ethnic architecture as well as elements of change that can continue to survive as a form of sustainability of Balinese architecture in Mopugad Village. Keywords: Architectural adaptation, local ethnic architecture, innate ethnicity architecture, Mopugad Village.
