| dc.description.abstract | Indonesia is a country with remarkable potentialities of traditional culture
expressions and traditional culture legacies. Both traditional culture
expressions and traditional culture legacies take place in several forms
such as folktales, dances, graving arts, weaving arts, and other still unrevealed
traditional culture expressions which may be useful for
economic development in Indonesia. Al l traditional culture expressions
and traditional culture legacies are the product of human thoughts that
can be transferred and captured by human senses. However, many of
Indonesian traditional culture expressions and traditional culture legacies
have been claimed by other countries, especially developed countries,
without asking permission from Indonesia.
Nowadays, developing countries, including Indonesia, must
encounter the injustice issue related to the utilization of their traditional
culture expressions and traditional culture legacies. However, regulatory
system is not strong enough to provide the protection needed for
traditional culture expressions and traditional culture legacies. The
utilization of traditional culture expressions and traditional culture
legacies can be then defined as the use of traditional culture expressions
as commercial assets without giving chance for developed countries to
take benefits from Indonesia. Therefore, a special arrangement must be
made to protect traditional cul ture expressions and traditional culture
legacies. | en_US |
