Jelok Tourism Village, Going Back to Bounded Solidarity
About
Jelok Village was an isolated area
because of the difficult access road. To reach this village was not easy
since people had to cross Oyo River
that was about 80 meters in width, by rafts made of bamboo, as long as
the stream flowed friendly. However, around 1996, there was students
from UNY (Yogjakarta State University) who did their community service
in this village. With the locals, they started to build a bridge that
could facilitate the access to this village.
With the principle of cooperation and
solidarity, locals with students became the key of the growing village.
Unfortunately, the earthquake in May 2006 that shook Yogyakarta became
the beginning of locals’ disharmony. It happened because the unequal
distribution of government subsidies to the victims of the eartquake in
this village. But there was a Wonosari-born young man who concerned
about this condition. He was Aziz, one of UNY students who also did his
community service there. For the first time, he was suspected of what he
did as he was not one of the locals. Slowly, this young man, by
involving some young people from this village, tried to get back
people’s trust and started to build again the solidarity spirit that was
almost gone.
They built a hut on the government’s
property as a place where people could hang out or chitchat so they
could strengthen their solidarity between the locals. Nowadays, this hut
is till there and used as a study hall or as a hang out place in the
night time.
This was the place where the idea of
creating a tourism village was initiated. This brilliant idea which came
from locals lively chat was proposed to increase locals’ quality of
life but without ignoring to keep the local culture and values and also
to preserve the beautiful environment. Jelok Village that is located in
Beji, Patuk, Gunung Kidul, Yogyakarta with 75 hectares wide, in 2010,
held a festival and merti (a locals tradition or ritual) of Oyo
River. There were some activities that was aimed to unite the locals to
help each other and to pray together in the Oyo River. Because of that
moment of festival, this village was started to be well-known. This
potential has made Jelok as one of tourism villages in 2010 based on
locals traditions and cultures and also the neighborhood.
