Abstract:

Knowledge systems are born from the experience and creativity of certain people to be used as clues or guidelines in carrying out activities for the survival of daily life. The knowledge system is passed from one generation to the next. Knowledge is gained through experience, information processing, experiments and thought processes such as imagination and critical thinking. This research specifically describes the local knowledge of Dayak Ribun which is unique and still survives today. The study uses ethnographic approaches in the collection, processing of information and data analysis. Field data collection is carried out by observation, interview and living with the Dayak Ribun community in Parindu Subdistrict. The findings of this study contain three things, namely the knowledge of the Dayak Ribun community about natural symptoms that are closely related to their farming systems. Furthermore, the Dayak Ribun people's knowledge of the universe environment that they basically believe that the life of the universe in which they survive is a gift of the universe that must be maintained. As well as, the knowledge of the Dayak Ribun community about the types of crops that support their livelihoods and household food systems. The knowledge system is derived from hereditary inheritance from their ancestors, and the inheritance of that knowledge has been going on for a long time and is still found in the lives of this society.
