Legal Protection of Traditional Culture in Indonesia
Abstract
Indonesia is one of these countries is the owner of traditional
culture that represents the characteristic of 33 provinces and 1128 ethnics
occupying Indonesia. That is why Indonesia has a great potential to extract
economic benefit if this characteristic is exploited commercially. However, it is
not happening in Indonesia because traditional culture has been used by the
developed countries to support their economic.
The emergence of injustice sense due to the arbitrary utilization of traditional
culture is begun to be experienced by the developing countries. Protection and
respect to the indigenous peoples as the owner of traditional culture are lacking.
The utilization of traditional culture expression can be defined as the management
of traditional culture as commercial asset without managing benefit-sharing
with the developed countries. It is important hereby for the government to give
protection to traditional culture.
