Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the extent to which the Adaptation of Cultural Values and Nusantara Architectural Design (Variable X1) influences the Effectiveness of Sustainable Tourism Infrastructure Development (Variable X2) in enhancing economic resilience within the multicultural areas of Bandung. Employing a Mixed Methods approach with an Explanatory Sequential Design, this research integrates Hindu-Nusantara spatial philosophy with Human-Centered Design analysis. Quantitative data were collected from an initial sample of 60 MSME actors and local communities, subsequently analyzed using linear regression via SPSS, while qualitative data were extracted through in-depth interviews. The instrument reliability test yielded an anomaly with a Cronbach's Alpha value of 0.048, reflecting the high heterogeneity of spatial aesthetic perceptions in a multicultural society. However, the linear regression test demonstrated an F-value of 4.555 with a significance of 0.037 (p < 0.05), confirming a significant influence of spatial design on economic turnover with an explanatory power (R-Square) of 7.3%. In conclusion, urban layout interventions that integrate local toponymy and Nusantara architectural philosophy prove crucial in preventing gentrification and stimulating inclusive tourism economics.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the formulation and implementation of policies protecting the Okokan tradition in Kediri Village, Tabanan, as a strategic effort within the framework of Objects for Regional Cultural Advancement, in accordance with the mandate of Law Number 5 of 2017. The Okokan tradition is not merely an aesthetic instrument, but a sacred ngerepog ritual performed ahead of Nyepi (Day of Silence) that currently faces challenges from modernity, crowd management, and the risk of essential value degradation. The methodology used in this study is a qualitative method with a descriptive-analytical approach through public policy studies. Data were collected using literature review techniques on regional regulations, field observations in Kediri Village, and in-depth interviews with customary leaders, cultural practitioners, and representatives of the Tabanan Regency Government. Data analysis was conducted using triangulation techniques to validate the synchronization between government policies and the real needs of the customary communities. The results indicate that effective protection policies require an integration between formal regional government regulations and customary laws (awig-awig) to ensure legal certainty, funding support, and educational spaces for the younger generation. The arrangement of parade routes and security standardization are crucial aspects to ensure the tradition continues without neglecting public order along the main trans-Bali highway. Policy recommendations are directed toward strengthening Okokan's status as an Intangible Cultural Heritage (WBTB) and developing festival management based on preserving its sacred values. The study concludes that synergy between the government and the customary village (desa adat) is the ultimate key to ensuring the sustainability of Okokan as a resilient cultural identity of Tabanan amid the currents of globalization.

Abstract

In Balinese Hinduism, the Otonan ceremony, held on the 210th day of a child's life according to the Balinese Uku calendar, is considered a fundamental rite of protection against evil spirits. When this rite is not performed at the appropriate time, families may instead conduct the Bayuh Oton, a substitute ceremony that can be held at any point from childhood through adulthood. Although both rites serve comparable protective functions, the Bayuh Oton has received limited scholarly documentation compared with the Otonan. This article addresses that gap through a qualitative case study based on direct observation of a Bayuh Oton ceremony held in Kintamani, Bali, for an adult who had not undergone the Otonan as a child. Using participant observation supplemented by photographic documentation and comparison with written ritual manuals, this study reconstructs the full ceremonial sequence and examines how the officiating priest's practice aligned with, departed from, or supplemented these texts. The findings highlight both the shared ritual structure and the individual variation inherent in its performance, contributing empirical grounding for future comparative studies of textual prescription and lived religious practice in Bali.

Abstract

Determination of the ancient Indian philosophers’ time and chronology is a common problem to the Sanskrit scholars now a day. It is impossible to say in one sentence that this chronology of Indian philosophers should be acceptable due to so many anomalies regarding their information. Time and chronology of two such philosophers like Jayanta Bhaṭṭa and Vācaspati Miśra in Indian philosophy are also doubtful and can not be determined easily due to anomalies of their information scattered in Sanskrit literature. This study will investigate with proper information and arguments that what were their considerable time and chronological order. To discuss and resolve this doubtful matter I refer so many Sanskrit scholars like Dr. Vidyābhūṣaṇa, Gopīnātha Kavirāja, Pt. Ananta Lal Thakur and Suryanarayana Sukla and put information from various philosophical literatures like Nyāyamañjarī, Tātparyaṭīkā, Kādambarī-kathāsāra, Bhāmatī, Nyāyakaṇikā, Vivarana-Pañjikā. As per Philosophers and their statements with thorough argumentative discussion it may be resolved that Jayanta Bhaṭṭa was predecessor of Vācaspati Miśra. All the information collected from primary and secondary information must Jayanta Bhaṭṭa in 9th Century A.D (883-904CE) and Vācaspati Miśra in 10th Cencury A.D. The problem regarding the time and chronological order of Jayanta Bhaṭṭa and Vācaspati Miśra, which was mainly arisen centering a passage from Nyāyamañjarī be resolved from Aniruddha’s statement where Nyāyamañjarī is considered as Trilochana’s work, not of Jayanta Bhaṭṭa.

Abstract

Kaviśikṣā, the classical Sanskrit tradition of training poets, played a formative role in shaping the intellectual, moral, and aesthetic sensibilities of individuals and communities in premodern Indian society. This article examines Kṣemendra's eleventh-century treatise Kavikaṇṭhābharaṇa, a foundational kaviśikṣā text building on Rājaśekhara's earlier Kāvyamīmāṁsā, to identify the qualities, disciplines, and training methods it prescribes for aspiring poets. Through close reading of the treatise's five sections, the article traces Kṣemendra's structured approach to poetic education, from cultivating innate talent and disciplined practice to the ethical conduct, humility, and breadth of knowledge expected of an accomplished poet. The analysis shows that Kṣemendra's vision of the poet extends well beyond technical skill, encompassing moral character, social responsibility, and the capacity to produce camatkāra, or aesthetic delight, in everyday life. These findings suggest that kaviśikṣā's integration of literary training with ethical and social formation offers a model of enduring relevance for understanding how art can continue to shape character and community today.
