CHAPTER VII
CLOSING
As well as traditional houses found in
every community, tongkonan-in Toraja society, the pavilion-at-Javanese Dayak
longhouse in society, the customs house jew is basically a communal house that
functions in order to maintain a life together in the community. Togetherness
is absolute in the life of a community that has agreed to follow the norms and
value system together. In maintaining unity, then the custom house is a
construction that serves as a physical building to hold together the said
infrastructure. Without unity, the life of a community will have inequality.
The existence jew had anticipated
imbalances that may arise in the Asmat people. There are so many issues and conflicts
that arise in the continuing life together, so we need an infrastructure in
order to communicate, find solutions and build new hopes for a better life. Ritual in fulfilling religious life is absolute, build trust and confidence in
the power of life. Jew deliberately prepared for the ceremony ritual referred
to, so that the strength in life can be maintained.
It is an adaptation strategy in
anticipation of the local geography, so a custom home construction shaped
stage. Asmat region is the muddy swamp that does not allow any building pressed
into the surface of the ground floor. Water that ebb and flow throughout the
year is the "disaster" that should be handled by a variety of
efforts, including by building the stage, so that water can not be submerged
tidal house floor then raises another issue that is no less serious. Houses
stage as well as in anticipation of the building to avoid the presence of wild
animals.
Time and extend functionality jew
according to the dynamics of community life. When the war was again declared,
because it results in the loss of life, the jew no longer serve as a
"fortress", the practice of war for the "soldiers". The
continued development no longer provide room for inter-tribal warfare.
Development requires coordination, as well as face-to-face communication
between the authorities and society. Development requires a pre means in order
to deliver the message, and forwards the packet program embracing all the
people as a whole.
Construction and layout jew will answer
the said purposes. As for the Java community hall is used as a means of
organizing meetings and social activities, including the delivery of
development messages. Jew then ultimately have the same functionality as the
pavilion, as a gathering place, deliberation, partying while accepting the
presence of government officials in order to realize the development program.
In the reform era, when the Asmat region declared a county division, the
legislative election campaign, the president, regents and governors are directly
declared, jew even effective means his campaign in the villages. Given the
field to open the campaign stage only found in urban areas Agats.
Changes and globalization extend
functionality jew according to the evolving circumstances in the life of society,
the one thing that can not be stopped. Jew as if it had been prepared to
respond to changing times and circumstances. Indigenous and ritual continue,
alongside the current changing times rolling indefinitely. Long before the era
of reform took place, before the party of democracy penetrated into people's
lives down to its most basic level, the existence of jew has provided learning
democracy in the earliest time. So, when it finally came true democratic party,
the Asmat have no difficulty in holding the said party, because the
infrastructure available concerned the people, the jew.
