Abstract

The Ngerebong tradition is a sacred ritual for the people in the Kesiman Traditional village, Denpasar city. It is held every six months, to be precise, every eight days after the Kuningan holiday. It involves numerous parties and cultural facets. However, this tradition is a challenge for the people of the Kesiman Traditional village, who do not close themselves off from the consequence of globalization. Thus, this research aims to discover and understand the concerns related to the maintenance of local genius amid the maelstrom of globalization. The results of the study revealed that (1) the Kesiman Traditional villagers must continue maintaining the Ngerebong Tradition because their lives are motivated by the ideology of religion, conservation, power, and culture that drive them obedient to the traditions they hold (2) along with the growth of the era, the Kesiman Traditional villagers bear the Ngerebong Tradition under the phases from generation to generation (3) the consequences of implementing the Ngerebong Tradition in the present global era directly effect on the lives of the Kesiman Traditional villagers so that strengthening cultural values ​​is a challenge in confronting various shifts in this global era.
