| Summary: | The focus of this paper is to examine the
importance of cultural landscape reclamation, as well as
historical values with which historical occurrences and
incidences are associated. The study strives to gain insights from
traditional cultural values and the importance of their
reclamation in society. Indeed, most of the historical occurrences
emerge as human legacies because different generations interact
with the perceived heritage traditions and values. As such,
cultural landscape reclamation refer to a practice of regaining
human legacy’s valuable heritage, with the latter reflecting the
original culture and identity of a given community or place – but
destroyed at some point. Therefore, the objective of the current
study is to examine the reclamation of a cultural landscape in
Negeri Sembilan’s Minangkabau, as well as establish some of the
feasible strategies that could be implemented to ensure that the
traditions are protected; besides shielding the identity and local
practices from being eroded. Indeed, the study adopts qualitative
research, with a survey technique used to collect data via the
administration of questionnaires. From the results, it is evident
that the decision to define a community’s identity is critical
because it preserves its traditions. Also, identity is seen to aid in
the characterization and distinguishing of a given community
from the rest of society. The eventuality is that the preservation of
a group’s traditions needs to be preceded by addressing local
identity, a trend achieved through landscape reclamation. |
