<p>The term of indigenous knowledge refers to specific local knowledge in consumer/user which should be incorporated by agro-industry to compete in a globalized worlds. This research highlighted Kansei Engineering as a potential approach to quantify indigenous knowledge in agro-industrial technology. The research objectives were: 1) To review the quantification tools of indigenous knowledges in agro-industrial technology using Kansei Engineering; 2) To characterize indigenous knowledges in Indonesian agro-industry. Case study was demonstrated in Indonesian food product, services and ergonomic technology. Quantification was characterized using widely developed quantification tools for indigenous knowledges. The research results concluded some indigenous knowledges which could be incorporated in indigenous knowledge-based innovations. </p><p><strong>Keywords</strong>: Agro-industry, Ergonomic technology, Product, Services, Technical parameters</p>

The Creation

Abstract This paper interrogates the emphasis on devising regimes for protection of Indigenous knowledge, based on narrowly defined concepts of property, especially intellectual property in legislative and policy discussions and debates and programs of work on Indigenous knowledge. Commenting on the classificatory and typological tendencies of legislative protection regimes, the paper argues for a shift from this emphasis on protection, toward the creation of a space for engagement between Indigenous, and other knowledge traditions, wherein concepts of dialogue, negotiation and agreement-making can occur. The paper supports its argument by reviewing selected legal instruments such as the 2003 UNESCO Convention on the Safeguarding of the Intangible Heritage, and drawing on some of the author's experience working with Aboriginal people in the Kimberley.
