increasing interconnectivity between people across
the surface of the earth and the waning of national
boundaries. Friedman (2005) identifies that
globalization which is the main driver of the
transnational movement is a 21st Century world
system that focuses on the integration of a world that
knows no bulkhead at all. It will create a demand for
every nation to establish relationships with other
nations including Indonesia. Saxenian (1999) argues
that indirectly the Indonesian people today have
become part of the transnational civil society in the
global era, it is no less important that should be
developed in establishing and maintaining
international relations (Coe and Bunnel, 2003). In
this study is the transnational community is a group
of community members who have been able to
perform its role as a global community.
3.2 Values of Local Indonesian
Wisdom
In Law No. 32 of 2009 on Environmental Protection
and Management, states that local wisdom is the
noble values that apply in the life of the community
to protect and manage the environment in a
sustainable way. Koentjaraningrat (1990) has
described the form of local wisdom explicitly: (1)
the notion, ideas, values, norms, and regulations; (2)
behavior patterns, complex activities; (3) artifacts,
cultures, materials, and cultural products. Those are
excavated from values that rely on the beliefs of
society to the truth which then manifested in the
form of culture. The relationship between local
wisdom and globalization is closely related, as noted
Yunus (2014) local wisdom is a culture owned by
certain communities and in certain places that are
considered able to survive in the face of
globalization, because local wisdom contains values
that can be used as a means of building the character
of the nation. In the era of globalization that
increasingly open information and communication,
if not addressed properly, it will produce in loss of
identity and national identity. Indonesian identity is
reflected from the culture of every region that united
into one unity with one basic identity which is called
Pancasila. The values of this local wisdom become
the embodiment of the Indonesian national identity.
The values of local wisdom of the Indonesian
nation vary greatly in the region, Fajarini (2014)
identifies some local wisdom in Indonesia, among
others: (1) Malay (Deli, West Kalimantan, Sibolga,
West Sumatra), the value of local wisdom the other
is the other part of the fish where the earth is
trampled there; (2) Batak: Hasangapon, bagabeon,
bamoraon, sarimatua (authority, wealth, scattered
descendants, perfection of life), nilakka tu jolo
sarihon tu pudi (step forward consider to backward);
(3) Bugis: sipakatau (remind each other),
sipakalebbi (mutual respect), mali siparappe, rebab
sipatokkong (remind, respect each other, promote
each other); (4) Dayak Kanayatri: adil ka’talimo,
bacuramin ka’saruga, ba sengat ka’jubata (fair
fellow, mirrored heavenly, dependent on the one),
rumah betang (together and mutually graceful),
handep babaring burung (togetherness and
cooperative), rumah betang (the spirit of the long
house); (5) Dayak Bekati: janji baba's ando
(promise must be kept), janji pua’ take japu (don’t
promise only say the words); (6) Dayak Bahau:
murip ngenai (prosperous prosperity), te'ang lira
(superior among peers: healthy competition); (7)
Sampang (Madura): ombak asapo’ angina
(cushioned ambal, covered with wind), lakona-
lakone, kennengga kennengge (do well what is your
job and place well also what has been established as
your place), todus (embarrassment), ango’an poteo
tolong, e tebang potea mata (better white bones than
on white eyes).
3.3 Local Wisdom as Global
Competitiveness Capital
Local wisdom formed by customs and traditions of
society is a cultural product. The values that serve as
the guidance of local wisdom in society have long
evolved in society and the environment and have
undergone several changes from generation to
generation (Hasbullah, 2012). This cultural product
becomes an asset of the nation that must be
developed by following the existing developments
but retaining the original. In order to compete in the
global market must not abandon local wisdom as
identity-formers, instead it should instead be able to
develop local advantages as capital to compete with
other nations.
The President of Republic Indonesia in the
opening ceremony of IDBYTE 2017 held on
September 28, 2017 argued that countries capable of
generating innovations by utilizing local wisdom
will have high competitiveness, so that local
business players must be able to develop superior
products derived from the characteristics typical
local. The cultural diversity, language, and art can
serve as a basic value to global community
competition. The local wisdom will demand a
sustainable and forward-looking work ethic and
support social and natural balance. The values of
local wisdom passed down from generation to
