Abstract

Karawang Regency is known as the “paddy granary” of West Java, contributing to national rice self-sufficiency. The existence of Karawang Regency as a “paddy granary” was threatened by the development of the industrial sector and the growth of settlements, which led to the conversion of paddy fields. This study seeks to reveal the role of traditional ceremonies in the sustainability of paddy cultivation in Karawang Regency. The rituals of Nyalin, Hajat Bumi, Nganyaran, and Babaritan are traditions that are still being preserved. The rituals are part of the honoring of Dewi Sri. This study employs a qualitative approach. The data was collected through observation, interviews, and literature study. The function of traditional ceremonies is not only to preserve tradition but also to maintain the productivity of paddy cultivation. Traditional ceremonies continue to exist despite the passage of time. In the digital era, the values of mutual assistance and environmental preservation contained in these traditional ceremonies have become important local knowledge and socio-cultural capital for national development.
