Abstract

This research is classified as qualitative research with data collection techniques, namely observation, interviews and document study. The data analysis used was from Matthew B. Miles and A Michael Huberman which consisted of data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and concluding. The results showed that the reasons for the dynamics of the Otonan Ceremony in the Susuan Traditional Village consisted of theological reasons, sociological reasons, and pedagogical reasons. The theological reason is that the Otonan Ceremony is held as an expression of gratitude to Ida Sang Hyang Widhi Wasa, the ancestors, Catur Sanak, and other forces that are believed to influence human life. The sociological reason is that there are social dynamics in the Otonan Ceremony as seen from the procedures for inviting, preparing/serving food, carrying out the ceremony, and activities after carrying out the Otonan Ceremony. The pedagogical reason is that in the Otonan Ceremony, there is an educational process of tattwa (cognitive aspect), morals (affective aspect), and ceremony (psychomotor aspect).
