Nyadran tradition as an effort to preserve Jenon's water resources and its socio-cultural values

Abstract

Javanese people appreciate local culture or wisdom. Especially if it is something that is disputed. One example of a community that still preserves ancestral culture is the people of Gunung Ronggo village, Tajinan subdistrict, Malang regency. The Community considers that the existence of Jenon water springs as sacred and worthy of preservation. A variety of traditions are done, one of them is Nyadran tradition which is routinely implemented in the Jenon water springs area. Not only as a preservation of the place, Nyadran tradition is also preserved because it contains positive social and cultural values. This is what caused the people of Gunung Ronggo village to preserve Nyadran's tradition as a form of preservation of the Jenon spring source.
