Abstract
Abstract The endeavors to preserve the forest in Bali cannot be isolated from the existence of local wisdom. Customary law, as a decision of Hindu religious leaders in Bali, is one of the local wisdoms which has been maintained by the society. This study examined the values of local wisdom held by indigenous people and reviewed the preservation of forests from a Hindu perspective. This research was conducted in three villages in Bali, namely Tenganan Village, Manggis Sari Village, and Sangeh Village. The residents of these villages believed that forest is a sacred area which must be maintained and preserved properly.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Landscape Ecology is a fully reviewed scientific journal published by Czech National Chapter of the Association for Landscape Ecology (CZ-IALE). Our international editorial board has ambition to fill up a gap in the ecological field scope covered by the European scientific journals and mainly those among them which are produced in the Czech Republic. Subjects of papers are not limited teritorially, however, emphasis is given to the Middle-European landscape-ecological themes. The journal is not preferentially theoretical or applied, it is prepared to serve as a bridge between both levels of knowledge. The effort will be developed to increase gradually its quality level and to reach for acceptation by databases of scientific journals with IF. The first issue of JLE was published in 2008. Recently, three issues of JLE are published per year.
