Abstract

Local knowledge (LK) is unique knowledge that is confined to a specific culture or society. LK is transferred to the community to preserve a community’s cultural knowledge and practices. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the challenges in managing Local Knowledge Transfer (LKT) among the Minangkabau Community (MC) in the Agam district of Indonesia. The study employs a quantitative survey design of open ended questions from 384 respondents. The data were analysed using the thematic analysis approach. The thematic analysis reveals four primary themes that depict the challenges of managing LKT (1) society itself (person, family, and leaders), (2) education, (3) modernization, and (4) and information storage media. Recommendations from respondents regarding the challenges in the transfer of LK are (1) the development of education-based customary areas, (2) making the younger generation agents of change in civilization, (3) creating a model transfer for LK, (4) LK is conveyed through social activities, traditional ceremonies, and various other activities, and (4) utilizing technology in the process of transferring LK.
