type: item

This study aims to document the mechanism of weti making while examining the symbolic, social, and spiritual values embedded within it. The research employed a qualitative method with an ethnographic approach, using observation, interviews, and literature study. The findings reveal that the carving process involves five pade (master carvers) who gain legitimacy through customary law and is accompanied by a series of rituals from material preparation to completion. Weti functions as a symbol of cosmology, collective identity, and social cohesion of the Gurusina community. The practices of mutual cooperation and regular maintenance demonstrate a balance between cultural preservation and adaptation to modernity. Thus, weti plays a crucial role as a medium for transmitting values and safeguarding the cultural continuity of Gurusina.

Ritus Peralihan Status Sosial Budaya dalam Upacara Ngerawang di Desa Adat Songan, Kintamani, Bangli
type: item
description: Amid globalization and rapid social change, local traditions face challenges in maintaining their existence. One cultural heritage that remains preserved is the Ngerawang ceremony in Desa Adat Songan, Kintamani District, Bangli Regency. This ceremony serves as a means of communication with niskala (unseen) forces and as a mechanism for determining prospective jero (sacred community figures), rooted in ancestral beliefs and spiritual experiences. This study aims to: (a) describe the ngerawang ceremony process, and (b) explore its implications for the lives of jero and the community. Theories of rites of passage and liminality are used to understand the symbolic and functional meanings of the ceremony. A qualitative ethnographic approach was applied through observation, in-depth interviews, and literature study. The findings show that the ceremony begins with a spiritual experience of the jero candidate, followed by rituals at sacred sites through three phases: separation, transition, and incorporation. The implications felt by the jero involve spiritual, social, and personal transformations. The community holds the jero in high esteem as a mediator between the sekala (seen) and niskala worlds. This ceremony holds religious and social significance and strengthens the cultural identity of the people of Desa Adat Songan.

Kearifan Lokal Masyarakat Tanjung Benoa sebagai Modal Resiliensi Gempa dan Tsunami
type: item
description: The South Bali region has the potential for strong earthquakes that have the risk of triggering tsunamis, including Tanjung Benoa Village which is located in a coastal area with a high level of vulnerability because it is in a coastal area directly adjacent to the Bali Strait and the Indian Ocean. This study aims to examine the adaptation of coastal communities in responding to tsunami disaster vulnerability, using ethnoecological approaches and locally-based resilience. The research was conducted using qualitative methods. The results show that the adaptation of the Tanjung Benoa community is based on local knowledge that has been passed down from generation to generation. Local wisdom-based disaster preparedness is realised through the practice of daily life that is bound in customary unity with clear physical boundaries through Tri Hita Karana. Recognition as the first tsunami ready community by UNESCO/IOC confirms the community's efforts in strengthening village resilience. Disaster preparedness is carried out through sustainable resilience development involving the utilisation of local wisdom and pentahelix collaboration. This research emphasises the importance of integrating local knowledge in the management of disaster-prone areas to create resilient communities.
