Abstract

This study aims to examine gambling practices in the 2024 Regional Head Election (Pilkada) of West Sumba Regency, particularly in Wanukaka District. The research employs a qualitative approach with a case study method to understand the forms of gambling practices, the motives behind them, and the meanings attached by the community to this phenomenon within the context of local politics. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation involving purposively selected informants. Data analysis was conducted using a descriptive qualitative method with a phenomenological approach to gain a deeper understanding of community experiences and perceptions. The findings reveal that gambling practices during the Pilkada are not solely driven by economic motives or the expectation of financial gain but are also influenced by political and social factors. Gambling is perceived as a means of predicting election outcomes, interpreting political dynamics, strengthening group solidarity, and expressing support for particular candidates. This phenomenon has evolved into a social habit considered acceptable by some members of the community despite being contrary to existing legal provisions. The existence of gambling practices in local elections affects political behavior, has the potential to influence voters’ political choices, and contributes to challenges affecting the quality of local democracy and the integrity of the electoral process.

Abstract

Natoni culture is an oral tradition of the Atoin Meto community that embodies significant social, cultural, and local identity values for the Timorese people. However, modernization, changing lifestyles, and the declining interest of younger generations have contributed to the weakening practice and regeneration of this cultural tradition. This study aims to analyze the forms of synergy between the government and the community in preserving Natoni culture in Oefafi Village, East Kupang District, Kupang Regency. The research employed a qualitative approach, using interviews, observations, and documentation to collect data from village government officials, traditional leaders, community figures, youth representatives, and cultural practitioners. The analysis was guided by Antonio Gramsci’s theory of hegemony, focusing on the dimensions of consensus and leadership. The findings reveal that natoni remains actively practiced in various traditional and social events as a medium for transmitting values, cultural identity, and respect for ancestral traditions. The synergy between the government and the community is reflected through village policies, budgetary support, cultural training programs, the involvement of traditional institutions, and active community participation in sustaining the tradition. Shared consensus regarding the importance of natoni and participatory village leadership emerged as key factors supporting cultural preservation. The study implies that the successful preservation of local culture requires sustained collaboration among government institutions, traditional authorities, and community members to strengthen cultural transmission to future generations.
