Abstract

Kelud is one of the 13 active volcanoes located in Java Island. The sequence of eruptions becomes a natural phenomenon which constructs the culture of the people who live around it. Therefore, this local wisdom-based research tries to investigate the relationship between the socio-cultural life of people inhibiting at the foot of Kelud Volcano and the disaster mitigation. The inhabitants of Sugihwaras Village who live within 10 km radius from the peak of Kelud are assumed as a “disaster-aware” community that becomes a valuable source of the local wisdom. The ethnography approach was stressed on the cultural tradition of the people of Sugihwaras that was observed directly from participation during traditional events, especially rituals. The rediscovery of the local wisdom in a traditional effort of disaster mitigation as the main goal of the research is expected to give contributions to good governance. This is highly possible because it is shown in most of the findings that the local wisdom of Kelud people teaches moral ethics which not only guides the relationship between human being and The Almighty, the way to respect each other among social human being, but also the harmonious life between human and nature.  Keywords:Socio-cultural life, traditional mitigation, Kelud people, local wisdom

The myriad of folklores in Indonesia is a vast area to study. Jamasan Keris ritual as one of the embodiment of Javanese folklore, however, still invites many questions in accordance with the local values. Therefore, this paper tries to disclose the research result executed in two villages, Margomulyo and Karangtengah, in Ngawi regency of which Jamasan Keris held as sacred ritual. Jamasan Keris in these areas is selected as the object of the study for it serves Javanese traditional values. Moreover, ethnography approach is used in this study to get accurate result based on the knowledge of the informants who are Javanists. Direct field observation, at the same time, is conducted to highlight the required data. From the result of this scholarly work, it can be inferred that the values of Jamasan Keris ritual consists of two factors: (1) how Javanese involving in folk culture give spiritual meaning to the existed tradition, and (2) how Javanese deep philosophies encourage the traditional people to keep on preserving their culture. To sum up, the long-living spiritual meaning behind tradition and philosophical content in ritual are the underpinning of local wisdom.Keywords: Javanese folklore, Jamasan Keris ritual, traditional values, Javanists, local wisdom
