Abstract

Tri Hita Karana is a basic concept used by Balinese traditional people in their lives. The Tri Hita Karana concept, if studied from the basic concept of dialectical natural law, will be depicted in the form of a harmonious relationship between humans and Ida Sang Hyang Widhi Wasa (parahyangan), a harmonious relationship between humans and each other (pawongan), and a harmonious relationship between humans and their environment (palemahan). One implementation of the Tri Hita Karana teachings to preserve the surrounding natural environment is maintaining the existence of telajakan in Bali. In traditional Balinese architecture, the telajakan is part of the palemahan and in residential units, it is located in a sacred area that is full of aesthetic, security, social, and spiritual meanings. The arrangement of the telajakan is carried out by local conceptions or rules that have been in effect for generations and are generally based on Balinese cultural values. In preserving the telajakan in Bali, the function of the telajakan is one of the characteristics of local community wisdom and aesthetics. The Tri Hita Karana philosophy teaches that for humans to live happily, safely, peacefully, and in physical and spiritual prosperity, humans must maintain a harmonious relationship with the Almighty Creator, with each other, and with the natural environment. Implicitly, Tri Hita Karana contains a message for humans to manage natural resources and the environment wisely and judiciously to maintain their sustainability.
