The dynamics of structuration can be seen in the dynamics of the three domains of
structuration, namely signification, domination and legitimacy. In the element of
significance, the symbol of the sacredness of the aer mata ebhu burial complex is
represented in the ^sacred water^ and the burial complex itself. Interestingly, the
domain of significance is controlled by the local community through the control of
the three architectural spaces of the cemetery complex. All three are controlled by
different local community groups. This is where the domain of domination is more
dynamic and shows the maintenance of patterns of power, on the other hand, it
stores conflicts between interests, between local community groups themselves and
their relations to the state. This dynamic is further accentuated in the domain of
legitimacy. There are two major forces, the local community and the state. Both
have different dimensions of power that can be seen in their social practices. The
local community controls the resources involved in daily management, while the
state controls the architectural complex. The tourists have not maximally received
the attention of both. As for the local community, these tourists tend to be
positioned as commodities that are contested through begging activities, selling
^sacred water^, and various other types of economic activities. A third way is needed
to regulate between interests in order to create a good tourism destination by
considering the existence of tourists.
