Abstract

The preservation of traditional values amidst the tide of globalisation is vital to safeguarding the sustainability of local cultural heritage, which is at risk of being eroded by global cultural influences. This study aims to analyse the philosophical significance, the values of local wisdom, and the relevance of customary law within the Jaran Kamput tradition as a system of social norms, a source of community legitimacy, and a set of customary rules amongst the Sasak people. This study employs a qualitative method with a descriptive approach. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews with nine informants comprising two traditional leaders, two religious figures and three community members, as well as documentation. Data analysis utilised the interactive model developed by Miles and Huberman, which encompasses data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and the drawing and verification of conclusions. The research findings indicate that the Jaran Kamput tradition continues to be preserved as a form of respect for ancestral heritage whilst simultaneously reinforcing the values of togetherness, solidarity, mutual assistance, and the collective identity of the Sasak community. The relevance of customary law is reflected in adherence to customary norms, the procedures for carrying out traditions, and collective legitimacy, which are manifested through the practice of nyunatan and nyongkolan, the wearing of traditional dress, traditional music, and the community’s active participation in preserving the Sasak cultural identity.
