Model and optimization of the realization of Minangkabau local wisdom:

These local wisdom refers to the condition bamboo and riverbanks lean on, support each other, complementing and reinforcing themselves against water erosion along the watersheds (DAS). It reflects seven advantages that are embodied in its disaster mitigation model: biological, ecological, social, cultural, economic, civil engineering, and spatial planning functions. Based on this model, the optimization of its realization is formulated: (1) Realization of Ecological-Based Spatial Planning refers to land-use planning that emphasizes a balance between human activity and environmental conservation (ecology-based); (2) Cultural-Based Environmental Management refers to how residents and community leaders utilize natural resources according to traditional cultural values and inherited social systems; (3) Strengthening of community and local wisdom through traditions based on Minangkabau local wisdom lies in the community and the traditions passed down for generations; (4) Development of an Integrative Model: Traditional and Modern Comparison combines traditional values, practices, and structures with modern science and technology into a unified management system with multidisciplinary and institutional approaches to build an effective, participatory, and sustainable strategy; (5) Establishing Stakeholder Synergy, is the result of aligning the visions and roles of various actor: residents around watershed, government, traditional institutions, academics, and NGOs.
