Abstract

This study aims to describe the utilization of candlenut and walnut potential and to identify the constraints and opportunities for their development in Probur Village, Alor Barat Daya District, Alor Regency. Probur Village has abundant natural resources, particularly candlenut and walnut commodities with high economic value; however, their utilization remains suboptimal. The community still manages these commodities traditionally, with limited knowledge, processing technology, and market access. This research employs a qualitative descriptive method, with data collected through observations and interviews with the Village Head and Village Secretary of Probur. The findings indicate that candlenut and walnut resources are abundant and have strong potential as sustainable income sources for the community. Nevertheless, limited processing skills, lack of technology, and insufficient assistance result in these commodities being sold mainly in raw form, generating low added value. The study concludes that the development of candlenut and walnut potential in Probur Village requires community capacity building, the introduction of appropriate processing technologies, and sustainable marketing support to improve rural economic welfare.

Abstract

Tumbuh is a natural phenomenon believed to have mystical and sacred value by the people of Subo Village, South Alor District. This phenomenon takes the form of a clay pot (periuk) believed to “grow” or increase naturally without human intervention. The existence of Periuk Tumbuh is not only seen as a natural wonder but also as a cultural heritage of the ancestors rich in spiritual, social, and local wisdom values. The local community believes that Periuk Tumbuh has a close relationship with ancestral spirits and natural forces that maintain the balance of human life and the environment. Therefore, its existence is highly respected and protected through various taboos, traditional rituals, and oral traditions passed down through generations. The research method used is a qualitative method with an ethnographic approach, through observation techniques, in-depth interviews with traditional leaders, community leaders, and local residents, as well as documentation. The results show that Periuk Tumbuh not only serves as a symbol of natural wonder but also as a medium for community unity, strengthening cultural identity, and a means of moral education, such as respect for nature, belief in ancestors, and the importance of maintaining harmony between humans and the environment. Thus, Periuk Tumbuh plays an important role in maintaining local cultural sustainability and enriching Indonesia’s cultural heritage, especially in South Alor.
