Thirsty to get a place of expression in the form of writing and reading material felt a little remedied by the realization of this Local Wisdom online journal. This publication aims to further disseminate the understanding, knowledge and opinions of various groups (academics, practitioners and even bureaucrats) who care about the sustainability of local wisdom in various aspects of life. This media is a connector for the local wisdom seminar held at the University of Merdeka Malang on August 7, 2009, as the implementation of the PHK A-2 Program in the Department of Architecture, University of Merdeka Malang. To provide further space for local wisdom studies, at the end of the seminar it was stated that the seminar would continue in various forms (book publishing, local wisdom seminar 2, 3 ... etc.), which was later developed by publishing online journal Local Wisdom.
