9. THE LOCAL WISDOM
Collective self-sufficiency has
been passed from generation to
generations. It has been rooted
strengthened together with
development of Mount Merapi.
For some, the mountain is called
as the great grandfather. The
call forms the base of
relationship between two:
grandfather will not put harm to
the grandsons, and on the other
hand, the latter will not make
the former angry.
They care about each other,
respect is traded between the
two. Therefore, those living
around the mountain never see
its eruption as a disaster.
It is seen more as a project being
launched by the great
grandfather. Whose ends would
bring prosperity and grace to the
grandsons.
