Eksplorasi Pengetahuan Generasi Z mengenai Tradisi Pewarisan Tanah Pusako Tinggi di Nagari Lawang, Kecamatan Matur, Kabupaten Agam

Fragmentation of ancestral land (pusako tinggi) in West Sumatra is increasing along with population growth, with Generation Z (Gen Z) as the dominant demographic group. This phenomenon has the potential to threaten the sustainability of the customary inheritance tradition if Gen Z, as the recipient of the inheritance, does not understand the tradition of inheriting pusako tinggi land comprehensively. This qualitative study examines the knowledge of Gen Z Nagari Lawang about the inheritance of ancestral land of pusako tinggi. Purposive sampling was used to identify informants through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and document studies. This study found that Gen Z Nagari Lawang is less aware of (1) the method of inheritance when there is a pupus (extinction of the lineage), (2) the role of gender in the management of ancestral land of pusako tinggi, and (3) its philosophical function. The mobility of Gen Z to study abroad and the practice of relaxed use of ancestral land of pusako tinggi from the mother's family are the causes. This study found that learning of customs occurs informally through daily observations so that there are variations in interpretation between families. To overcome this, this research recommends (1) revitalization of the intrinsic values ​​of inherited customs, (2) formation of indigenous youth communities, (3) codification of customary rules in writing, and (4) tripartite synergy between the community, Village Head, and Nagari Customary Council (KAN) in the socialization and implementation of customary rules.

Abstract

Fragmentation of ancestral land (pusako tinggi) in West Sumatra is increasing along with population growth, with Generation Z (Gen Z) as the dominant demographic group. This phenomenon has the potential to threaten the sustainability of the customary inheritance tradition if Gen Z, as the recipient of the inheritance, does not understand the tradition of inheriting pusako tinggi land comprehensively. This qualitative study examines the knowledge of Gen Z Nagari Lawang about the inheritance of ancestral land of pusako tinggi. Purposive sampling was used to identify informants through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and document studies. This study found that Gen Z Nagari Lawang is less aware of (1) the method of inheritance when there is a pupus (extinction of the lineage), (2) the role of gender in the management of ancestral land of pusako tinggi, and (3) its philosophical function. The mobility of Gen Z to study abroad and the practice of relaxed use of ancestral land of pusako tinggi from the mother's family are the causes. This study found that learning of customs occurs informally through daily observations so that there are variations in interpretation between families. To overcome this, this research recommends (1) revitalization of the intrinsic values ​​of inherited customs, (2) formation of indigenous youth communities, (3) codification of customary rules in writing, and (4) tripartite synergy between the community, Village Head, and Nagari Customary Council (KAN) in the socialization and implementation of customary rules.
