Embodied Knowledge and Spatial Resilience: Understanding the Social Space of Sade Village, Lombok

Abstract

Knowledge develops in everyday life through lifestyles, from how it is used to beliefs and convictions. This knowledge can be observed from a cultural heritage, one of which is Sade Village, Lombok. This research refers to the concepts of Henri Lefebvre and Pierre Bourdieus’s in their respective theories on the formation of space and habits. This research examines how the traditional knowledge of the Sasak Boda tribe influences the lifestyle of the people in the Sade Traditional Village in Lombok. This study also focuses on space and humans in a communal and cultural context. Through a spatial approach, this study emphasizes that social space in Sade has a relationship with Parama-Jnana-Patra. First, the physical spatial arrangement and vernacular architecture (Bale Tani) signify the actualization of cosmological and ecological habitus in Sade Village. Second, daily social habits such as weaving, discussions, and traditional ceremonies determine social spaces related to the value of mutual cooperation. Third, under the pressures of tourism commercialization and spatial crisis, communities utilize contextual knowledge systems (Patra adaptation) to maintain core cultural values through resilient social cohesion. This includes promoting cultural heritage through handwoven crafts, spatial structures, and the beliefs of the Sasak people in Sade Village. This study findings that social spaces in Sade are capable of maintaining and developing authentic knowledge within the context of modern life.
