This village is part of a group of Bali Aga villages named Panca Desa SCTPB (consist of Sidatapa, Cempaga, Tigawasa, Pedawa and Banyuseri villages). These five villages have their own uniqueness and have a very beautiful natural landscape.

Pedawa Village is unique in terms of nature, culture and architecture. Bandung Rangki is the traditional house and as one of the tangible heritages in this village. This house is inherited from the ancestors which is still preserved until now. Although many traditional houses have changed their shape and function due to the demands of the times and changes in people's lifestyles, the Bandung Rangki traditional house can still be found in this village.

This traditional house is very unique, with medium size and considered as small house in a single form. But even with a relatively small size, all human ritual processions are done in this house. The process from giving birth to bathing the corpse is carried out in this house. This traditional house has an open plan concept which has two beds for parents (called pedeman gede) and bed for children (called pedeman kicak); kitchen (paon); and a place to store food and equipment (selalon). Although the size of this house is relatively small, but this house is able to accommodate all the activities of its inhabitants, from daily activities, social activities and rituals.
