Monas as an icon in Jakarta, with the bridge shall Palembang, Aceh as the zero point of Indonesia, and now with the Icon Tower of Lampung has Siger and the zero point of Sumatra highway.
Siger tower is the inscription of Zero Point causeway Kilomer Sumatra and become markers that this is the gate of Sumatra island, this would be a historical record that has been inaugurated by the Regional Government of Lampung Province on May 29, 2009. Siger tower with a beautiful form of architecture crawn colored yellow can be seen from far away when the ship will be docked at the port Bakauheni both morning and night with floodlights and once the towers of lights by boat - the vessel will be docked at the port. At the top of the tower, there is an umbrella of three colors (white-yellow-red) as a symbol of social order Lampung When going across the land route to Sumatra from Jakarta and vice versa, of course nobody does not go through and see the Tower of Siger which has become the icon of Lampung Province. The tower, which brought indigenous culture as well as Lampung and landmarks of the area inside the tower Siger Bakauheni main building and there are inscriptions Are Wood as a symbol of the tree of life for Lampung people, this makes the tower Siger be the crown of cultural life of the community.
The idea to build a tower Siger Syachoedin ZP carried out by the Governor for the service period 2004 - 2009 and is a permanent work of not only the physical building but reflected the cultural community and identity in accordance with the philosophy of Lampung people think and act with vision and mission to achieve excellence and competitiveness, one of the benefits extracted from the cultural aspects of society into a prosperous region that is represented in the form of very specific building characteristics as well as an icon of Lampung and Lampung, this is an extraordinary work that needs to get support and also to be noted in a history Lampung but national history.
Siger as a masterpiece of the tower and at the same time can be a representation of development milestones and work towards building a great resource for the province of Lampung, when viewing the tower Siger would imagine a crown that was built on hill and people are already interpretation that the building of cultural symbols delegation of Lampung, where the above peak there are three colored umbrellas pistil - yellow and red as a symbol of social order Lampung, and the tower there is no tower Siger can see panoramic sea meaningful profane.
Inauguration of the tower back Siger harass a discourse of culture for the province of Lampung, a huge obsession had started and realized with the officially declared on May 30, 2008 and is a real form by a local leader who wants culturitation of Lampung, Lampung, so the earth became a living area inside the coil indigenous culture.
Lampung is now appearing with a face and a typical living area in the character of local culture in the society like Bali, Lombok, Minangkabau, Flores, Sulawisi; Bugis - Toraja and tradition in Yogyakarta Mataram job. Siger towers themselves are not seen but his physical aspect of this building contains the value of culture and history in artifacts that form the shape of a cosmology in every space of life, so that everyone who saw and reside in this tower will know what kind of Lampung.
Is the Tower of Siger Will has Meaning After the inauguration date of May 30, 2008 which is now submitted to the Department of Tourism and Culture to manage the Authority with a Board will be responsible to maintain and switch tower Siger with various activities of this building, in the speech the Governor of activities such as starting performing arts to activities that are educative.
Siger tower that was born from a visionary who was born a spirit of cultural revitalization Lampung with this inauguration is a good course and should be able to fill the message delivered by the Governor when the opening ceremony. Because the spirit Siger tower is the identity and created must one day be able to raise the creator - the creator of the others who could make his identity was really flowing living in Lampung society that is able to wrap this Siger monumental building that represented the various fields of activities both in the form of art and culture and The most important is in the form of cosmological structure of community life.
It was not easy for a Department of Culture and Tourism Authority of Lampung and Body that will manage and fill this building, because not only viewed from the aspect of culture as an integral package tourism but required a very comprehensive grand design to fill the message from this Siger tower, and should not become subordinate to the activities of cultural tourism packages. Not understood the extent of cultural arts or show which recreative, understood as the traditional procession spectacle event, a grand event and the traditional procession of activities should not only packaged in the form of a mere activity, but needs to be able to design a paradigm that suggests the culture as an integral part of community life.
What Siger Tower Fill. If you want to follow a tradition of interpretation, culture has a symbolic meaning system that contains a set of rich meaning, knowledge, values, principles and any reference that could be associated with and handle human interaction with an environment, that culture can have adaptive, innovative, creative productive , then the symbolic meaning in the context of the always present, because they do not necessarily present life in an environment and community life. Meanings can be shaped artifact symbolik carving, embroidery, masks and other objects symbolic, culture itself can take the form of movement, speech 'and also appeared in the form of a ritual, power and social systems. Therefore Siger tower must be able to be filled with a perspective of entity symbols, stories and tales that have a purpose and meaning.
As one example of products that really needs to be filled include a mold, because in the field of tower-shaped Siger symbolic, the meanings that are present in the contact must be known and known to others, and this certainly is not easy, if not its delivery through a better information in the form : tourist information center, web based or printed form, because if not will be very difficult for outsiders imaginations. So that the information released will be a sharing of meaning and belonging together. Therefore capable of transmitting towers Siger and disseminate the cultural symbolic meaning to the good for the people of Lampung themselves and to others / newcomers or tourists so radiant cultural entity that is able to transmit symbolic meanings and then emit light tower Siger cultural meaning, so that the tower was loved Siger to visit either by excursionist both tourist and tours [learn, study and search] in the tower Siger.
