The Value of Justice Regarding the Prohibition of Ngejot in the Community of Kutaraga Traditional Village, Badung

ABSTRACT: This research is an empirical legal research. The approach used in this research is the sociology of law, with two types of data: primary and secondary. Primary data were collected through interviews with informants. Based on the research results and the statement of the Kutaraga Traditional Village, the prohibition on ngejot was not intended to erase Balinese cultural values as local wisdom. The ban on ngejot was designed to respect residents who are unable to perform ngejot, so they would not be embarrassed as citizens in front of other residents. So the direction is to equalize the krama desa (indigenous communities), according to the development of society. Regarding the obedience of indigenous residents to these awig-awig rules, they highly respect them and consider them effective. Based on the results of interviews with krama desa, they obey the rules because they have become the decision of the paruman desa (indigenous community meeting), so that if they violate it, it means going against the results of the paruman desa.)
