Abstract

This field study explores the intangible cultural heritage of the eastern countryside, focusing on traditions, practices, and expressions that have been passed down through generations. Intangible cultural heritage encompasses a wide range of elements, including oral traditions, performing arts, social practices, rituals, festive events, and knowledge related to nature and the universe. Through qualitative methods such as interviews, participant observations, and archival research, this study documents the unique cultural expressions found in this region, highlighting their significance and the role they play in community identity and cohesion. The findings reveal a rich tapestry of cultural practices, from traditional music and dance to local culinary arts and agricultural techniques, which are deeply intertwined with the everyday lives of the people. These practices are not only vital for preserving historical continuity but also for fostering a sense of belonging and resilience among rural communities. The study also addresses the challenges faced in preserving intangible cultural heritage, including modernization, migration, and economic pressures, which threaten the transmission of these traditions to future generations. By documenting and analyzing these cultural elements, the study aims to contribute to the safeguarding and revitalization of intangible cultural heritage, emphasizing the need for community involvement and supportive policies. The research underscores the importance of preserving these cultural treasures, which are essential for maintaining cultural diversity and enriching human creativity.
