Hello...hive Lovers and BDCommunity
Rice fields are an integral part of rural community life, ... symbols of the natural environment can be interpreted.
Seeing rice fields as the main agriculture. Through the ethnoecological approach to communication, this research shows that the community carries out its own symbol construction process on rice fields, which is then considered to have its own meaning, namely the meaning of welfare, the meaning of power, and the meaning of identity. All these meanings do not occur by themselves, but a process of community communication in understanding the natural environment, especially the existence of rice fields. There are symbolic construction mechanisms that take place from various groups in society.
daily life of local residents is very diligent and creative, and the needs of local residents are very dependent on natural life and also utilize the natural resources that are in the vicinity, by protecting and maintaining the environment around them so they will not lack the available natural resources.
For this reason, the existence of rice fields is very important in producing food.
Paddy field is one of the characteristics of traditional community life that is commonly found in several countries where most of the population consumes rice as a staple food, so this becomes a basic necessity for life.
The rice fields are beautifully arranged like a very charming rug. In addition to producing rice as a food source, rice fields appear as amazing tourist destinations that spoil the eyes. But now many paddy fields are decreasing in a number of places in Indonesia as time goes by. Many rice fields have been transformed into residential areas. Industrial estates are also developing in former rice fields. In turn, many farmers lose their land and profession.
Fortunately, there are still many areas that maintain rice fields to preserve nature and to make ends meet.
In the end I want to say that a country blessed with warm sunshine and cool air that is sent every day. Making this country very fertile and in demand by all living things to live here. That is our country.
Because it is so beautiful, the people who inhabit it are not just anyone but people who are chosen by God to be able to maintain and utilize without damaging the natural order.
