Folk belief through magical practices is an integral part of the discussion about the Pancur Gading Site, located in Deli Tua Village, North Sumatra, Indonesia. Through this folk belief, people come with their own goals and purposes. The remains of this site can be seen by the rushing water of the two showers, namely ‘pancuran putri’ (princess shower) and ‘pancuran panglima’ (the commander's shower). People believe by using this water, all the problems in their life can be resolved immediately. Various magical practices are also held to fulfill human desires for the problems they face.  The religious behavior of the people who believe in the properties of Pancur Gading is based on the folk belief in the worshiped figures. The legend of Putri Hijau provides a conception of revered supernatural figures, including the princess known as Putri Hijau or Nini Biring, her first brother (kakek naga), the second (kakek meriam), her commanders, and the ancestors who were worshiped according to cultural background of their respective communities. This belief is strengthened by the existence of media from supernatural experts who connect to patients. This paper is an effort to make an inventory of the various folk beliefs and traditions related to the Pancur Gading Site as an intangible cultural heritage.

AbstractThis article considers the measures being taken in Bhutan to support the cultural practices and traditions of weaving as Bhutan rapidly moves to modernize. Woven cloth is one of a number of artisan practices in Bhutan that contribute to a unique body of intangible cultural heritage, and a distinctive and instantly recognizable Bhutanese identity. Cloth and cloth production have come to have significant influence on the cultural, socioeconomic and political, as well as the ceremonial and religious life of the people of Bhutan. However with modernization and an increasingly global outlook, many socioeconomic transformations are taking place, challenging traditional cultural practices to remain relevant and viable to younger generations. Bhutan offers a unique case study as a country engaging only relatively recently with globalization after a long history of cultural isolation. Bhutan also offers up a unique policy response to modernization, its Gross National Happiness (GNH) measure, which attempts to embody a strong social, cultural, and environmental imperative within the development process. This article will analyze the various measures taking place to maintain cultural identity and cultural practices within the context of development policy and practice, and will link this discussion to measures and approaches taking place at an international level by agencies such as UNESCO.

The convention concerning the protection of cultural and natural heritage only emphasizes the protection of tangible cultural heritage. However, the present convention completely turned a blind eye and a deaf ear to the intangible cultural heritage. “Cultural heritage” as a term and its content are largely taken from other fields like anthropology and archaeology. The legal aspect of cultural heritage is most complex and difficult to understand. There also exist elements of intangible culture which would include songs or folklore musical traditions, ceremonial or ritual traditions, aspects of the life of ancient societies, and any special relationship between the people and the land that they inhabited. With the term property also comes the idea of assigning the artifact a market value whereas they are historically priceless. Cultural heritage has been made global and a part of universal heritage or “common heritage of mankind.”

The Javanese society has a very old cultural background. One of the cultural heritage that is still favoured by the people of Java until now is storytelling. A story is a manifestation of people’s dream about their ideal world. This dream depicts the characters of the story they would like to see. The idea of a desired character is illustrated by various stories composed by authors. This occurs to this day. There are so many modern-day authors who have written their works within the framework of the old storytelling ideas. An author is indeed part of his community. It is inevitable that the author's thought is influenced by what happens in society. The image of the story created in his story certainly cannot be separated from all the things that exist in the community. Often a character of a traditional story becomes an inspiration for a modern author to create a character in the name and events in different packaging with no much difference in its sequence of events. Politik Tresna by Tulus Setyadi has a modern packaging of character and characterisation, but if traced deeply it turns out to be another form of character and characterization of well-known older stories.

This paper introduces Memorial Tombs in the context of memorial compound tomb types for the aristocrat of the Nguyen Dynasty (1802- 1945) in Southern Vietnam in The Medieval and Post-Medieval Time. This type was of rare tangible and intangible cultural heritage at the time (1.5%). These heritage assets are very valuable because they are associated with historical figures – “state founders, meritorious officials” in country expansion time “The Great South Unification (Dai Nam Nhat thong)”. In addition to the typical complex of mausoleums in Southern Vietnam (Nguyen Huu Canh, 1650-1700; Le Van Duyet, 1763-1832; Le Van Phong, Truong Tan Buu, 1752-1827 or Tran Van Hoc, Phan Tan Huynh, Huynh Van Tu, and "Sir Nhieu Loc"), the authors studied Vo Tanh mausoleum at both Hoang De (emperor) and Gia Dinh (emperor) citadels, and the mausoleum of his warmates related to the last and biggest-scaled sea fight between the Nguyen dynasty’s army and the Tay Son insurgent army on Thi Nai lagoon in 1801 (Vo Di Nguy, 1745-1801; Ngo Tung Chau; Thu Ngoc Hau, etc.). In our opinion, the presence of memorial tomb types of Vo Tanh and his warmates – historic-cultural-artistic heritage sites of national/provincial levels in Southern Vietnam relating the honoring of heroes who “wholeheartedly served the King, defended the country, saved the people” in the history of country expansion “Towards the South” in medieval and post-medieval times. They contribute to the moulding of prominent features of the comtemporary Southerners’ personality. Those historical stories of the Southern heroes are preserved and worshipped by their descendants bearing in mind the Vietnamese way of life “praising the bridge carrying one over” and pay homage to ancestors for their nation-building service.

AbstractNiches at the walls of edge of Lae (river) Tungtung Batu have been known by the local people as “the golden box”. The naming, without sufficient scientific proofs, refers to its profane function as storage of valuable items. The question is: is the object of a profane or sacred function? A theory proposes that a megalithic structure that was built for the worship of ancestors, either as a tomb or supplementary worship, supported by a comparative study of similar findings in different areas with the same cultural background, results in different interpretations of the functions of the niches that were previously connoted to a storage for valuable things now are of a burial reason. Similar objects found in Samosir, Deli Serdang, Karo and Tana Toraja are currently interpreted as sarcophagus. The niches in Tuntung Batu share similar characteristics of sarcophagus with those in other areas in North Sumatra and Indonesia. It is contextually supported with the presence of other objects in Tuntung Batu such as pertulanen and mejan that are related with burial and stones of tunggul nikuta candi and perisang manuk and the statue of pangulubalang that is of a mystical purpose to give the people protection.AbstrakPahatan relung-relung pada dinding tebing batu Lae (sungai) Tungtung Batu oleh masyarakat setempat dikenal dengan sebutan “kotak emas”. Penamaan ini merujuk kepada fungsi profannya sebagai tempat penyimpanan benda-benda berharga, namun tanpa ditunjang oleh bukti-bukti ilmiah yang cukup memadai. Masalah yang dikemukakan adalah : apakah objek tersebut memang memiliki fungsi profan seperti tersebut di atas ataukah berfungsi sakral ? Mengacu pada teori bahwa suatu bangunan megalitik didirikan terkait dengan pemujaan terhadap leluhur, baik sebagai kuburan ataupun sebagai pelengkap pemujaan, serta didukung dengan studi komparatif dengan temuan sejenis di beberapa daerah lainnya dengan latar budaya yang sama, menghasilkan interpretasi yang berbeda tentang fungsi relung-relung tersebut yang sebelumnya dikaitkan dengan tempat penyimpanan benda berharga menjadi lebih mengarah kepada fungsi penguburan. Objek sejenis yang antara lain ditemukan di Samosir, Deli Serdang, Karo dan Tana Toraja saat ini diinterpretasikan sebagai jenis kubur pahat batu. Karakteristik relung-relung di Tungtung Batu sangat sesuai dengan karakteristik jenis kubur pahat batu baik yang terdapat di Sumatera Utara aupun di daerah lainnya di Indonesia. Secara kontekstual hal itu diperkuat dengan keberadaan objek-objek lainnya di Tungtung Batu yaitu pertulanen dan mejan yang terkait dengan penguburan serta batu tunggul nikuta candi, batu perisang manuk serta patung pangulubalang yang lebih bersifat mistis terkait dengan perlindungan kepada masyarakat.

Intangible cultural heritage is a human-oriented living cultural heritage. It emphasizes human-centric skills, experience, and spirit, and is characterized by living changes. What stands out is the intangible attribute, and more emphasis on the quality that does not depend on the material form. The biggest feature of intangible cultural heritage is that it is not divorced from the special life and production methods of the nation, and it is the living of the nation's personality and national aesthetic habits. Appears. It exists on the basis of human beings, using voice, image and skills as means of expression, and passing from word to mouth as a cultural chain to continue. It is the most vulnerable part of living culture and its traditions. Therefore, for the process of inheriting intangible cultural heritage, the inheritance of people is particularly important. The traditional handicraft intangible cultural heritage is one of the best. However, with the rapid development of society, the living environment of intangible cultural heritage has changed, and the intangible cultural heritage of traditional handicraft industry is rapidly declining or even disappearing. In order to protect traditional handicraft intangible cultural heritage, this article studies the influence of the integration of traditional handcrafted intangible cultural heritage with the form of material carrier, reading and analyzing a large number of related documents using the literature survey method, and according to research needs, through the study of the content of the literature In summary, a questionnaire survey method was adopted to investigate traditional handicraft intangible cultural heritage visitors and inheritors.

The aim of the article is to analyze the tense and conflictive process of legitimizing intangible cultural heritage (ICP) in order to enhance its value, which, in Mexico, goes through a dispute between the intention of obtaining the maximum commercial use and the best way to protect it. This leads to a political arena in which the different ways of conceiving the management of the ICP and what is expected of it struggle. Frequently, a collision between the interests that move the community to participate and the powers that be motivated by profit. Therefore, the defense of the PCI has to resolve the contradictions between the logic of cultural valuation and the economic valuation. We review how this dispute has unfolded in some communities and localities in Mexico regarding asset activation. Our report illustrates the processes of patrimonialization - the process of construction of the meaning and meaning of the cultural manifestations of the people. We also show various conjugations of the political, economic and social uses of intangible cultural heritage, as well as the effects derived from litigation.
