Revitalize The Balinese Custom Wisely

A  Nostalgia

Bali Island is an island that is very unique and so admired by people from all over the world.  Imagine, the tourists come in droves to Bali to see the uniqueness of their Bali. Generally trip to Bali not to see the rise buildings, concrete or hard concrete. But, in Bali there was something different from the country, which obliged to be enjoyed . What's that?  We certainly agree that the customs and culture of Bali became the backbone of Bali tourism pulse of nature than a thousand islands exotic temples.
Balinese society since the days of Mpu Kuturan introdruced a system that called Tri Kahyangan This concepts of life is implemented in the social life in balinese traditional villages which is divided again in the concept of banjar banjar.  This valuable concepts  also the main pillars of Balinese society in sustaining cultural customs and inherited until now.

Undeniably, customs so pervasive in every joint lives of the Balinese. Pekraman village system in which there are three main elements, namely the Tri Hita Karana concept implemented in Tri Kahyangan, which includes three holy places, Pura Desa, Pura and Pura Dalem Puseh. Mpu Kuturan heritage that are so great, really become the main pillar of human life support Bali. Ngayah activities as part of the implementation of the concept of Tri Kahyangan, run by the village by Desa Pekraman. Desa,kala, patra in each village pekraman and usually arranged in the village awig-awig or rules of desa pekraman which is also known as local awig. Arrangements were equipped with such penalties for offenders. In the era of 80-under, agriculture becomes a source of income is the main Balinese Green rice fields that extend vast stretches from west to east and from south to north. In a certain area, a traditional Balinese irrigation system commonly known as Subak to function properly. Kerobokan Kuta area and now, was once the area is lush green rice fields as it gets a lot of water flow from the moment.



So if we are nostalgic memory of the golden age of agriculture Bali.How about now? It's a tragic fact, that is not making this up, today's Bali layout is virtually in shambles, without a clear master plan.  Each of these 'little kings' in the district / city, the wheels of government seem to run without the coordination of the province, proved by the mess of golf course development plans in the Besakih area, adjacent to the holy Besakih area and there are many other examples that reflect how local governments Bali should really do "mulat sarira", would be brought where this island?

Balinese Traditional Village a Tough Castle

In Bali, the existence of a real village in pekraman so encourage economic stability, social and cultural. Desa Pekraman order inherited from the time of Mpu Kuturan provide positive energy in the human gestures that used to Bali is a majority of farmers. Desa Pekraman order inherited from the time of Mpu Kuturan provide positive energy in the human gestures that used to Bali is a majority of farmers.  Today, human mobility Bali gone very quickly, especially following the tourism boom since the late 80's era, people make Bali so dynamic and fast currents influenced Modernization. If used the Balinese many uneducated, now many of those who have undergraduate degrees, more of us moved to live in the city, for economic reasons or because of learning. If used the Balinese many uneducated, now many of those who have undergraduate degrees, more of us moved to live in the city, for economic reasons or because of learning.  These things do not seem to be controlled in line with the times very quickly and globally. Balinese tendency to live in the city due to many factors, among others, all the facilities to meet the demands of modern life more in the city, could also be because of pride.No wonder, the ranking competition among the Balinese were economically spread everywhere, in cities and villages. It must be admitted to this one matter, prestige for the Balinese to be recognized occupy highly . As a consequence of life it is very reasonable as long as walking is healthy and not harming others. What about Balinese traditional life? As stated by Customary law Observers Bali, Wayan P. Windia (Bali Post, January 26, 2008 edition), Balinese customs are so strong Shackle is being revised in accordance with the times. When pulled back, how to formulate the concept Kuturan Mpu Tri Pekraman heaven with the Village as the beams, is adapted to the conditions of the people of Bali at the time that nearly all real farmers. When confronted with the current conditions as described above, is still a rigid awig - awig maintained? Indigenous cases every year just happened to make us concerned, is this how the Balinese in his indigenous village?  From that cases we can not generalize, but usually as the saying goes "a drop of a stain broke a jug of  milk" becomes a thing to be considered.  Because after everything that happened at a point where in Bali, people usually will take out the hypothesis that it happened in Bali, Bali and Bali.  Name of Bali that have been known throughout the world makes Bali has become "property" of the world. To make the village as a stronghold for Pekraman Bali, its people have changed the paradigm should be revised slightly with awig-awig that do not fit with today's dynamics. Governments of all levels in Bali through the relevant agencies should really dive in the midst of society, continuously monitoring. Pekraman village in Bali is a worthy heritage preserved by taking into account local wisdom without ignoring the times. Common vision and manipulation of all parties is necessary to maintain the traditional Balinese ajegan as cultural heritage only in this world.
