Abstract

This study aims to understand how the cultural practices and social structures of the South Bangka community are formed, sustained, transformed, and maintained in the contemporary social context. Using an ethnographic approach, this study examines cultural dynamics such as traditional customs, religious rituals, household economics, gender relations, kinship systems, and social changes resulting from modernization, migration, and industrial expansion. This study also examines local social structures, including kinship relations, informal hierarchies, patronage, economic structures, and power relations that bind individuals and groups in everyday social life. The results show that the cultural practices of the South Bangka community are flexible but still maintain core values such as mutual cooperation, solidarity, social harmony, and respect for ancestors. Modernization does not necessarily eliminate tradition but encourages the community to adapt cultural practices to the needs of the times. In addition, social structures have been shown to play an important role in shaping patterns of interaction, role distribution, and conflict resolution mechanisms. Interpersonal and group relationships are built through kinship networks, village communities, religious associations, and work relationships, all of which influence social stability and the formation of collective identity. This study concludes that cultural practices and social structures in South Bangka are closely interrelated.

Abstract

The Food Security Program in Kute Siantan District, Anambas Islands Regency, is a form of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) by Medco E&P Natuna Ltd. in support of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 2. This program aims to reduce the community's dependence on food supplies from outside the region by strengthening the capacity of local farmers in vegetable production. This study aims to analyze the livelihood capital of the community to formulate a sustainable livelihood strategy for farmer groups. The research employs a qualitative approach, utilizing ethnographic methods and document studies, which were conducted over approximately two months, from February to April 2025. Data were collected through participatory observation and in-depth interviews with 21 informants, comprising farmers, program assistants, and village officials. The results of the study indicate that farmers possess five main forms of capital: human, natural, social, physical, and financial capital, which still face numerous sustainability challenges. Based on the analysis, five strengthening strategies are recommended, namely: (1) determination of key farmers through measurable assessments to reduce dependence on companions; (2) the use of abandoned land and local organic matter as an alternative to inorganic fertilizers; (3) strengthening the value of cooperation in the activities of farmer groups; (4) maintenance and management of agricultural equipment collectively; and (5) market expansion and diversification of agricultural products. The strengthening of the five capitals is the foundation for the sustainable livelihood strategy of farmer groups, supporting the sustainability of the Food Security Program beyond the end of the CSR intervention.
