Abstract

The issues of family inherited system in traditional Javanese culture give influences in many aspects of family life, such as family wealth, family house, and other family properties. This system also exists in Brayut Tourism Village. However, not all Brayut native community still implement this social traditional system to sustain their heritage traditional houses and plots in order to support tourism attractions. This research purposes to investigate how the tradition of family inherited system affect the management of local traditional houses for the purpose of continuing cultural heritage. The method of study uses qualitative approach, utilising physical observation of setting and interviews with the owners of houses. The findings show that there are difficulties in maintaining the traditional heritage houses. It could be because there is no one in the family who is responsible to manage. It is also due to the inherited houses and its plots belong to different persons in the family who live in different cities outside Brayut village. This situation leads to the risk of future sustainability of traditional houses as potential cultural assets for tourism attractions.
