| dc.description.abstract | The existence of Kajang
indigenous people are known for preserving
their traditions with austerity. Clinging to
their traditional belief system, Pasang ri
Kajang to protect their sacred forest and
natural environment, some myths still seem
relevant and take part actively in their
everyday lives. This empirical-qualitative
study aims at elaborating the myths
following traditions in explicit connection
with their dwellings and way of life. Firsthand experience, photographing, hand
sketching, interviews, and focus group
discussions are employed to collect data.
Analyzing the characteristics of the Kajang
area from the maps, narrative analysis for
the interview, focus group discussion,
sketches, manual notes, photographs, and
cross-analysis from literature studies
resulted in the difference between inner and
outer Kajang. The eight practical conducts
closely related to the myths are elaborated,
such as oral communication, no electricity,
no clay roof tile, no footwear, no colorful
clothes, no decoration or modern material,
orientation of buildings, and odd
numbering and time calculation. Some
limitations and suggestions are also
presented. | en_US |
