Ngayah tradition, Balinese community, preservationAbstract
This study aims to analyze the existence of the ngayah tradition within social life, the impact of modernization on this tradition, and the preservation efforts undertaken by the Balinese community in Sumber Agung Village, Kalaena District, East Luwu Regency. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation, involving key informants such as the customary leader, hamlet head, the head of the Parisada Hindu Dharma Indonesia (PHDI), and local Balinese residents. The data analysis process utilized an interactive model comprising data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results indicate that the ngayah tradition remains strongly maintained within the Balinese community in this transmigration area. The continuity of this tradition is driven by community awareness, which views ngayah as embodying fundamental purposes, noble values, and profound socio-religious significance that fosters community solidarity. While modernization has influenced the way the tradition is practiced, the community continues to undertake protective measures to preserve this gotong royong (mutual cooperation) tradition and prevent it from eroding over time.
