Abstract

The Socio-cultural system has its ways to sustain the environment to exist. Cultural traditions and their values interact mutually within the family, and spiritually affect the meaning of homes. Brayut Village’s existence depends mainly upon tourist attractions in prospective natural and cultural heritage, especially local Javanese traditional and vernacular houses. However, the circumstance of the traditional village is now at risk if the traditional building asset becomes gradually extinct. This paper explores how the system of oral traditions: inheriting valued messages within the family plays essential roles in conserving vernacular houses to maintain the traditional. The data gathering used direct observations, in-depth interviews and focus group discussions on obtaining the data of people’s ways to deliver persuasive motivation of conserving the houses and their surrounding environments. Initial findings show that saving traditional Brayut Tourism Village houses is more effective and operative when inherited throughout the family kinship using Javanese philosophical values of verbal messages.
