    Area of Science:

    • * Cultural Anthropology
    • * Architectural Studies
    • * Ergonomics

    Background:

    • * Traditional Balinese architecture utilizes tools such as gegulak and sikut natar for construction.
    • * These tools are rooted in ethical and spiritual values, not just physical efficacy.
    • * The Lontar Asta Kosali serves as a traditional guide for material measurement in building houses and temples.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • * To explore the ergonomic and ethical dimensions of Balinese traditional tools.
    • * To analyze the spiritual and physical values embedded in Balinese measurement standards (nista, madya, utama).
    • * To investigate the preservation and potential decline of these traditional values due to modernization.

    Main Methods:

    • * Analysis of traditional Balinese texts, specifically Lontar Asta Kosali.
    • * Examination of traditional tools (gegulak, sikut natar) and their application.
    • * Study of Balinese cultural practices, including building, arts, and ceremonials.

    Main Results:

    • * Balinese tools and measurement systems embody a holistic approach, integrating physical functionality with ethical and spiritual significance.
    • * The three main standards (nista, madya, utama) reflect an ancestral awareness of resource limitations on a small island.
    • * Modernization poses a threat to the continuity of these traditional values.

    Conclusions:

    • * Balinese traditional knowledge, embedded in tools and practices, offers profound insights into sustainable and humane living.
    • * Integrating ancient wisdom with modern life is essential for preserving cultural identity and enhancing quality of life.
    • * The principles of gegulak and anthropometrics highlight a focus on human well-being within the built environment.
