DECONSTRUCTING THE IDEOLOGY OF RESISTANCE SHOWNBY THE PEOPLE LIVING AT CANDIKUNING VILLAGE TO THE MANAGEMENT OF EKA KARYA BALI BOTANICAL GARDEN
ABSTRACT: The people living at
Candikuning Village are not involved in the management of the EkaKaryaBali
Botanical Garden; however, they intend to enjoy the retribution which is
received by the Botanical Garden, for which they show their resistance to the
management. This article is intended to understand the ideology which has
inspired the local people to argue that they are entitled to the retribution
received by the EkaKarya Bali Botanical Garden.
The data were collected through in-depth interview, observation, and
documentation techniques. The data were critically analyzed using the
deconstruction method.
Based on the analysis of the facts which had inspired the resistance
shown by the local people living at CandiKuning Village to the management of
the Bali EkaKarya Botanical Garden, it could be understood that the
geopolitical ideology was used as the basis of the resistance. Therefore, the
management of the Bali EkaKarya Botanical Garden should give some of the
retribution they received to the local people. The Botanical garden is located
at Candikuning Village or part of the area of Candikuning Village. However, the
village had never received any retribution from the Botanical Garden. The
management should remember the proverb “di manabumidipijak di situ langitdijunjung”
(we should adjust ourselves to the environment where we stay), based on the
philosophy of Tri Hita Karana, meaning that the management should give
retribution to the temple located at the area of the Botanical Garden.
