The Tenun Kolok community in Bengkala Village, Bali, serves as an example of a local society striving to preserve its cultural traditions in the face of globalization. The aim of this research is to evaluate the resilience of the Kolok community in maintaining their weaving tradition and to identify various challenges and opportunities arising from global changes. This study analyzes how globalization affects the Kolok community, the challenges they face in preserving their cultural heritage, as well as the role of laws and policies in supporting the resilience of local culture. One of the main challenges is the small scale of the community and its dependence on a single individual who manages all operational aspects, including marketing.

The methods used in this research include interviews, direct observations, and a review of relevant literature. The results of this research are expected to provide insights into how the Tenun Kolok community adapts to global changes without compromising their cultural identity, as well as to propose policies that can support the preservation of local culture amidst modernization.
