The first field visit was Tenganan Village. Tenganan is the oldest village in Bali Island. Before the 1970s it was known by anthropologists to be one of the most secluded societies of the archipelago. Rapid changes have occurred in the village since the 70's, such as the development of local communications by the central government, the opening up to tourism, the breaking of the endogamic rules. Tourists are attracted to Tenganan by its unique Bali Aga culture that still holds to the original traditions, ceremonies and rules of ancient Balinese, and its unique village layout and architecture. It is known for its Gamelan selonding music and geringsing double Ikat textiles. According to legend, the people of Tenganan Pegringsingan were selected by the God Indra to administer a territory that was conceived in accordance with his divine plan to be a microcosm of the world. They were instructed to use every means to keep it pure and clean. The concept of territorial, bodily and spiritual purity and integrity is of paramount importance in the village.

The participants have a great opportunity to learn their daily tradition in maintain the environment, religious belief and their living space in harmony. They also introduced to various of creative products a.o. ikat woven, unique wickerworks, mask, painting in palm leaves, traditional culinary, and so forth. As a starter, the villagers kindly welcomed the participants with their tasty sweet called celorot, which wrapped by dried coconut leaves. The participants experienced how to push it from its bottom thus the sweet will pop up and ready to be eaten. Some other participants also had a chance to practice in making ikat woven with the assistance from the village weaver.

In the mid day, the participants headed to the next destination, snake-skin fruit (Salak fruit) agro tourism in Sibetan. Participants could see many Salak plants on the right and left of the street. In this area, participants can feel the serenity while they climbed up to the hill to see the making process of Salak coffee which was still traditional yet innovative. They also spent time to see the process of making Salak coffee. The participants got direct interaction in touch the fruit, its smell and taste. They also served with special sweet salak named salak gula pasir while they enjoy the beautiful scenery around the plantation and felt the fresh air as well.
12
As one tourist destination in Karangasem, Sibetan Village offers a panoramic view of nature (agro tourism). Sibetan village situated at an altitude of 400-600 m above sea level, with an average temperature of 20º -30º C. Average rainfall is 1567 mm, 20.000 mm per year. The cool climate and fresh air make suitable Salak grow in this area. Here the tourists can find vegetation barking with a variety of flavors. The extent of Salak garden in this area is also interesting to watch. Approximately 81.12% Sibetan area, which is 1.125.000 hectares, is converted into the garden barking. Thus, about 14 varieties of Salak vegetation can be found in this area. Tourists can watch the process of harvesting bark, including its marketing. Apart from being the center of Salak, Sibetan also worth a visit because of its uniqueness and cultural and traditional dances, such as Genjek and Angklung.

At 12 p.m, participants headed to Selat Village for Megibung which is a Balinese traditional way of eating. The participants welcomed by local people of Selat Village with their traditional drink called tuak manis –sort of wine but traditionally made from palm sugar water. The main meals served in one big bamboo-craft plate for 5-6 people (it depends on the occasion). It was super fun for most of the participants that have no experiences of eating with bare hand. There were no spoon or other cutlery. There is a person appointed to be a leader in one group whom will mix the side dishes and offer which meals to be eaten first. Thus, the participants could not take the side dishes by themselves. The food was appetizing as well. Megibung is useful for participants to get to know each other. This traditional way of eating also teach us about togetherness, brotherhood, and to strengthen the relationship with one another.
16
. History of Megibung: The tradition of Megibung has ever started since 1614 in Caka year (or 1692 AD), when one of the king of Karangasem, I Gusti Anglurah Ketut Karangasem, fought to conquer kingdoms in Sasak (Lombok). At the time the soldiers had a meal break, he made a rule that was about to eat together called Megibung. Until now Megibung tradition is still carried out in Karangasem and Lombok, and became the pride of the local community. Now, Megibung often held with regard to various types of ritual and religion (Hindu), such as tooth filing ceremony, otonan children, marriage, cremation, Pemelaspasan, Piodalan and other ceremonies in temples.
17
Megibung filled with the values and typical rules. In one Megibung, rice in large quantities placed on trays (made from bamboo mats) that has been coated with Tamas (woven palm leaves). But now every event that holds Megibung rarely use the bamboo-tray, replaced with trays or other containers covered with banana leaves or rice paper. Mound of rice in a large portion placed on a tray with side dishes placed in a special container. People who do Megibung must sit cross-legged on a regular basis and form a circle.
18
People who do Megibung must follow the eating rules. Before you eat, the rice is taken out of the tray by means of wearing hand clenched. Then proceed to take meat and other side dishes on a regular basis. Leftover food from the mouth should not be spilled on the tray. Must be disposed of on a small patch of banana leaf that has been provided to each person. Water to drink is provided in a jug out of clay. For one between the two jars. Drinking water is done by dragging, gulped water from a jug so that the tip of the lips are not touching the pitcher. For practicality, is now replaced with a jug of water bottled mineral water. In some places, started or finished Megibung usually followed by drinking Tuak (sort of wine but traditionally).

Done with Megibung, participants were delivered to Amlapura- capital city of Karangasem Regency. They explored the Royal Palace of Karangasem. They were welcomed by Anak Agung Ngurah Agung the grandson of the last King of Karangasem at Puri Gede. Later, Anak Agung Bulantrisna Djelantik also welcome them at Puri Maskerdam. She is also one of the grand daughters of the last King of Karangasem, who also member of the Indonesian Heritage Trust – BPPI. She guided the participants in the tour of the palace Its compound looks very neat and spacious. Before they continued to explore the palace, they were served some Balinese traditional sweets and a succulent drink called Cendol which is made from rice flour with Pandan flavor shaped like a water drop and well mixed with coconut milk and melting palm sugar.

The last but not least, participants then hopped in the bus to have dinner at Taman Ujung Soekasada Water Palace.

HE Acting Regent of Karangasem pointed out that situated at the eastern of Bali Island, Karangasem is blessed with dry natural landscape and rich cultural heritage. The regency has the privillage of long history, including maintain the royal parks and one of the oldest village in Bali. It need special attention in therm of campaign and human resources development. Training and education should be doner urgently to strengthen heritage aware communities.

-
In his keynote speech of Prof. Y. Muneta stressed the important of public participation and consciousness of the world changing pattern of civilization.

-

Notes
: Executive summary from Group A Moderator : Punto Wijayanto -
Heritage assets are natural, cultural and cultural landscape heritage, including rural area (case of India), urban kampong (case of Kotagede and Hong Kong), industrial military (case of Taiwan). It need to be integrated into today society.
-
Respect cultural identity of each cultural group in historic urban areas. These factors have the powerful potential of crating a harmonies Asian community.
-
Education is important. Means documentation and publication not only formal education. Education on heritage should be developed for children from a young age to promote a better and deeper understanding of each other‟s culture as well as a closer intercultural relations. Do not forget also to educate the teacher.
-
Heritage as a tool for a better future. Our rural heritage is as important as urban settlements, natural heritage and cultural 45
landscape. Therefore urban-rural heritage conservation should be comprehensive and multi dimensional, covering the tangible, intangible, as well as natural heritage. -
As leadership of government is sometimes absent, heritage organizations should take the initiatives to encourage historic urban conservation activities. Case in Taiwan and Hong Kong, heritage organizations may ensure the involvement of citizen in the process of urban conservation. At the same times, we think heritage network is place for heritage organizations to share and exchange experiences. Stronger network means the improvement of know-how in heritage conservations. Need to make the network stronger. Through this network, we may be able to help, inspire and learn from each other in the way we handle and solve our respective heritage problems. I quote what Olivier said : “If we use our talents, we grow together.”

: Executive summary from Group B Moderator : Risfan Munir -
There are some significances and role of urban heritage conservation: strengthening identity of the city, take the people to the history if their community as their assets and even deep to their root, in natural and spiritual meaning, to guide us to live in harmony with the nature, with others. 46
-
Urban heritage conservation and tourism development are two side of the same coin. Tourism gives economic meaning and direct benefit for the urban conservation. It is important to show, to justify of any conservation efforts to government, private sector, and community during planning and budgeting process.
-
The challenges are how to develop awareness and promotion of the urban heritage conservation to the public market. Our present and future markets are young generation with the characteristic of : well educated, affluent, adventurer, and alwayas connected (online with gadgets). To reach them it would be needed to: unlocking the city heritage assets,
developed data and
documentation; involve them to the effort with online application (such as i-Discovary) etc -
Sustainability of the urban conservation organization. Previously, the conservation efforts were initiated and supported by philnathrophies and volunetary activist. However, regarding the current sitiuations, to be sustainable, any heritage conservation organization and activist could be “social enterprise and social enterpreneurs”, which doing the social mission and manage the effort and its organization professionally (in business way). To explore source of fund from conservation projects, consulting services, documentation and information services, part corporate social responsibility services, etc.
-
Identity and branding of the city.

YennyRahmayatiAceh Heritage Community Foundation
(AHC) - Indonesia Tittle: Cultural Heritage and Sustainable Rebuilding after Disaster -
How cultural heritage contributes to sustainable rebuilding after disaster through the bottom-up approach from local community organisation which involving young people as the main actor.
-
The bottom-up movement that comes from the local community will be more sustainable rather than the top-down movement that was initiated by the government, since the initiative comes directly from the community and it is not dependent on the government;
-
Culture is part of the community itself that has been survived for a long time and shaped the community identity, therefore 52
the utilisation of culture as the basis for the movement in development will more ensure the sustainability; -
In this sense, culture can be the best tool or driver to foster the sustainable development. The community will be able to revive by themselves as they are familiar with their own culture.

Conclusion : 1. Some practical actions that we had carried out in our movement for the past 11 years; 2. Cultural heritageas the main driver to revive and move out from the massive disaster that ruins our land; 3. Bringing together the individual or existing groups in communities (young people) that have same passion and vision with a voluntary basis will make the movement more sustainable rather than creating the ‗new type‘ of groups and ‗new activities‘; 4. Culture is a common thing that may cover all level of community both as individual or groups from different class and background.

KARANGASEM DECLARATION ―SUPPORTING HISTORIC URBAN CONSERVATION ACTIVITIES IN EMERGING COUNTRIES IN ASIA‖ The Karangasem Symposium has been fruitful in exchanging ideas and experiences from developed and developing countries. The delegates from 13 countries share the view that heritage is very important basis for world peace and harmony. Heritage should be managed through goodwill, understanding and respect, with the commitment to the safeguarding of cross culture diversity and hybridity, including the position of minorities.. Heritage could promote peace and harmony if there is social and economic justice without discrimination. Respecting the principles agreed in Penang Symposium 2013, we need to strengthen our network to be able to support heritage conservation activities in Asia region. Delegates from 13 countries have reached a basic agreement as follows: 1. We should respect every cultural identity of each cultural group in view of the fluidity of culture and the richness of our shared history and heritage. The peoples of the Asian countries are closely related geographically and culturally. These factors have the powerful potential to create a harmonious Asian community. 2. We should see heritage as a tool to prepare for a better future. Heritage can strengthen our identities and take people even deeper to their roots, in natural and spiritual meaning. Our rural and urban heritage are both important. Hence, conservation should be comprehensive and multidimensional, covering also the tangible, intangible, as well as natural heritage. 3. We should acknowledge new and emerging threats towards urban and rural heritage conservation activities especially the effects of climate change, terrorism, social and natural disasters. Mitigation methods and measures should be discussed and developed. 4. We should make the network stronger. To be sustainable, heritage organizations should think as professional bodies or social entrepreneurs. Through this network, we will endeavor to help, inspire and learn from each other in the way we handle and solve our respective cultural and heritage issues. We also need to align and complement our respective programs and agendas. 5. We should join hands to maintain and conserve our heritage by carefully, thoughtfully and innovatively managing change. The challenges include developing awareness and promoting 56
heritage conservation to the public. Special attention should be paid to the education of children from a young age to foster a better and deeper understanding of each other‟s culture as well as closer inter-cultural relations. 6. We welcome multi-cultural and international collaborations. Even though each urban and rural area has particular background and activities, many of them have the similar issues. These may include fundraising, economic development, community participation, support of public administration, social justice, tourism management, adaptation of modern technology to the promotion of heritage, and so forth. We can learn from experiences of the other groups beyond national borders.

DEKLARASI KARANGASEM “Mendukung Kegiatan Konservasi Perkotaan Bersejarah di Negara Berkembang di Asia” Simposium Karangasem telah menjadi tempat bagi pertukaran gagasan dan pengalaman baik Negara berkembang maupun maju. Delegasi dari 13 negara berbagi pandangan bahwa pusaka merupakan dasar yang sangat penting bagi perdamaian dan keharmonisan dunia. Pusaka hendaknya dikelola berdasarkan keinginan baik, kesepahaman dan penghargaan disertai komitmen untuk melindungi keragaman dan hibriditas antar budaya.
Merujuk pada prinsip-prinsip yang telah disepakati di dalam Simposoum Penang 2013, kita perlu memperkuat jejaring ini untuk mendukung aktivitas pelestarian pusaka. delegasi dari 13 negara telah membuat kesepakatan sebagai berikut:
1. Kita harus menghargai identitas dari kelompok budaya yang berbeda terkait dengan cairnya budaya dan kekayaan sejarah dan pusaka bersama. Masyarakat dari negara di Asia memiliki hubungan yang erat baik secara geografis dan budaya. Faktor ini memiliki potensi yang kuat untuk menciptakan komunitas Asia yang harmonis.
2. Kita harus melihat pusaka sebagai sebuah alat untuk mempersiapkan masa depan yang lebih baik. Pusaka dapat memperkuat identitas kita dan menempatkan masyarakat kepada akar mereka bahkan lebih dalam, dalam makna yang alamiah dan spiritual. Pusaka pedesaan dan perktoaan sama-sama penting. Karena itu, pelestarian hendaknya menyeluruh dan multi-dimensi, meliputi baik pusaka budaya ragawi, tidak-ragawi dan pusaka alam.
3. Kita harus mengenali ancaman baru dan mencuat terhadap kegiatan pelestarian pusaka pedesaan dan perkotaan, terutama dampak perubahan iklim, terorisme, bencana sosial dan alam. Metode dan instrumen mitigasi hendaknya didiskusikan dan dikembangkan.
58
4. Kita seharusnya membuat jejaring ini semakin kuat. Untuk dapat berkelanjutan, organisasi pusaka hendaknya berpikir sebagaimana organisasi professional atau bisnis sosial. Melalui jejaring ini kita akan berusaha membantu, menjadi inspirasi dan belajar dari satu sama lain dalam hal menangani dan menyelesaikan permasalahan budaya dan pusaka masing-masing. Kita perlu pula untuk menjaring dan melengkapi agenda dan program masing-masing.
5. Kita harus bersama-sama memelihara dan melestarikan pusaka dengan cara mengelola perubahan secara hati-hati, penuh pertimbangan dan inovasi. Tantangan yang ada termasuk membangun kesadaran dan memperkenalkan pelestarian pusaka kepada masyarakat. Perhatian khusus hendaknya diberikan terhadap pendidikan kanak-kanak sejak dini untuk membangun pemahaman lebih baik dan lebih dalam terhadap budaya satu sama lain dan begitu pula hubungan antar-budaya yang lebih dekat.
6. Kita mendorong hadirnya kerjasama antar-budaya dan internasional. Walaupun tiap kawasan perkotaan dan pedesaan memiliki latar dan kegiatan sendiri, kebanyakan memiliki isu yang serupa. Termasuk di dalamnya pencarian dana, pembangunan ekonomi, paritipasi masyarakat, dukungan publik, keadian sosial, pengelolaan wisata, adaptasi terhadap teknologi modern untuk makin memperkenalkan pusaka, dan yang lainnya. Kita dapat belajar dari pengalaman kelompok lain di luar batas negara.

simposium menyatakan hendaknya duta deklarasi jika menyebutkan deklarasi, otomatis akan teringat
pula
pada
Kabupaten
Karangasem.
"Diharapkan ini bukan kedatangan pertama di Karangasem, melainkan ada kunjungan kedua, ketiga dan selanjutnya, mengingat baru sebagian dari destinasi pusaka yang dilihat para delegasi," katanya. Destinasi pusaka di Kabupaten Karangasem sangat beragam, seperti tempat diving terbaik berupa kapal selam Liberty di Tulamben, area rafting yang mempesona dan pura terbesar di Indonesia yakni Pura Besakih."Di Karangasem juga ada atraksi budaya yang tidak ditemukan di kabupaten lainnya di Bali. Sekali lagi semoga ketika duta-duta simposium menyebutkan deklarasi, maka akan mengingat Kabupaten Karangasem," ujarnya menambahkan.Sementara itu, duta 13 negara itu akhirnya mencapai kesepakatan dasar yang terangkum pada Deklarasi Karangasem, antara lain menyatakan: harus menghormati setiap identitas budaya dari masing-masing kelompok, dan mesti melihat warisan sebagai alat untuk mempersiapkan masa depan yang lebih baik.
Bunyi deklarasi lainnya adalah harus mengakui adanya ancaman yang muncul terhadap pelestarian warisan pusaka, terutama dampak perubahan iklim, terorisme, sosial dan bencana alam. Pentingnya membuat jaringan kuat diperlukan pula. Terkait dengan itu, maka perlu saling bergandengan tangan untuk menjaga dan melestarikan warisan dengan hati-hati, serius dan inovatif dalam menghadapi perubahan.

EPILOGUE
This Asia Heritage Network (AHN) 2016 has been an important milestone for share, inspire and learn from each other in the way we support historic urban conservation activities among emerging countries in Asia. Through this international symposium, we may be able to strengthen our network in developing strategies for heritage conservation practices. Our historic urban conservation is now endangered, due to its contestation among economy, social, political and rapid new development which somehow neglect the importance of heritage conservation. Heritage is not just about the past, it is a tool to prepare for a better future. A public awareness campaign should be planned and implemented, so that joint efforts to save our heritage can be supported by government, private sector resources and community based participation. The Karangasem Declaration 2016 as the result of this international symposium had explored the strategies and best practices of the heritage conservation toward its sustainability in the future. Finally, I wish to thank againThe Nara Machizukuri Centre, The Japan Foundation and His Excellency Ida Bagus Arda, the Acting Regent of Karangasem for their generous support. I also thank the local partner of Bali Kuna Heritage Society for filling in so ably for this symposium. Last but not least, I warmly thank all of the participants from 13 countries, community villages in Tenganan, Sibetan and Selat.
