Abstract

Jatiluwih Village and Subak Jatiluwih have been established by the United Nations Educational,
Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) as a part of the World Cultural Heritage (WCH).
In addition, the village and the subak (Balinese irrigation cooperative) also have the status as
a tourist destination having the potential to conversion of paddy fields. This paper examines
the knowledge and understanding of the Jatiluwih Village community on the belief and customs
behind the pemali of animal cages in paddy fields, garden in the paddy fields and the merger
of paddy field plot activities in the subak area becoming the part of the world cultural heritage,
namely the Subak Jatiluwih. In this case, pemali (customary prohibition) along with the belief
and customs serving as the background is seen as an environmental wisdom.
The conclusion in this paper confirms that the pemali mentioned above are still relevant and
important to be understood and actualized in order to preserve the Subak Jatiluwih and to
strengthen various regulations having been enacted to protect and preserve the elements of
Balinese culture that need protecting and preserving. This strategic measure is to adopt
cultural values   contained in the belief and customs that underlie the pemali in the regulations
made by relevant government authorities and in bylaws (awig-awig) of the Jatiluwih Customary
Village and bylaws (awig-awig) of the Subak Jatiluwih.
