This research analyzes the Massappo Wanua tradition in Lapao Hamlet, Binuang Village, Barru Regency, using a semiotic approach. This tradition, which is performed annually by the Bugis community, aims to protect the village from disasters and maintain the balance between humans and nature. This research explores the symbols used in the ritual as well as the meaning of each symbol related to spiritual, social, and ecological values. The research method used is qualitative with data collection techniques in the form of participatory observation, interviews, and documentation. The results of the research using the theory of Charles Sander Pierces Semiotics show that symbols such as rekko ota, addupa-dupaang, and benno not only function ritually, but also reflect values such as welfare, honesty, and harmonious relationships between humans, nature, and spirituality. The findings enrich the understanding of Bugis peoples cosmological relationship with nature and the ecological relevance of cultural practices that are preserved for generations.

Penelitian lebih lanjut dapat dilakukan untuk mengeksplorasi bagaimana tradisi Massappo Wanua dapat diintegrasikan dengan praktik pertanian berkelanjutan untuk meningkatkan ketahanan pangan dan menjaga keseimbangan ekosistem lokal. Selain itu, studi komparatif dapat dilakukan dengan tradisi serupa di daerah lain di Sulawesi Selatan atau wilayah lain di Indonesia untuk mengidentifikasi persamaan dan perbedaan dalam praktik dan makna simboliknya, sehingga memperkaya pemahaman tentang kearifan lokal Bugis. Terakhir, penelitian yang mendalam mengenai peran tradisi Massappo Wanua dalam memperkuat identitas budaya dan solidaritas sosial masyarakat Bugis, terutama di tengah arus globalisasi dan modernisasi, akan memberikan wawasan berharga tentang bagaimana tradisi dapat berfungsi sebagai perekat sosial dan pelestarian warisan budaya.
