"Design Culture" Approach as A Way to Preserve The Local Wisdom of The Samin Community in Sambongrejo Village, Indonesia
Abstract
The Samin people in Blora Regency uphold their distinctive viewpoint and customs, place a high value on simplicity and unity in intercommunal relations, and are deeply ingrained with the principles of equality in Sedulur Sikep's teachings. Sambongrejo Village is poised as a cultural tourist destination, yet its full potential in agriculture, the arts, and culture remains untapped. “Design Culture” is explored as an approach and method that employs participatory tools and design principles to unlock regional development potential. This research discusses essential strategies for designers and local communities to foster sustainable growth, focusing on identifying local resources, generating ideas, and developing visions.
