Abstract

This study examines the persistence and transformation of marriage beliefs within the Mangir community of Bantul Regency, Yogyakarta, Indonesia, in the context of increasing modernization and social change. While modernization is often associated with the decline of traditional practices, local marriage traditions in Mangir continue to influence decision-making and social behavior across generations. This research aims to explore how marriage beliefs are maintained, legitimized, and negotiated within contemporary social contexts. A qualitative case study approach was employed to investigate the experiences, interpretations, and practices of community members. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and document analysis involving traditional leaders, village officials, married community members, and younger-generation residents. The data were analyzed using the interactive model of qualitative analysis consisting of data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing and verification. The findings reveal that marriage beliefs persist through the interaction of collective memory, personal experience, family socialization, and traditional authority. Practices such as petungan (auspicious day calculations), ngalang (ritual detouring), restrictions associated with Wednesday Pon, and post-marital residential norms function as culturally embedded mechanisms for managing uncertainty and preserving social harmony. The study further demonstrates that younger generations do not simply reject traditional beliefs but actively negotiate them through adaptive strategies that accommodate modern educational, occupational, and mobility demands while maintaining cultural legitimacy. These findings suggest that tradition and modernity are not mutually exclusive but coexist through continuous processes of cultural adaptation and reinterpretation. The study contributes to broader discussions on cultural resilience, community-based risk management, local wisdom, and the sustainability of traditional institutions in contemporary society.

Abstract

The Malay Literacy Movement is a locally developed curriculum innovation at SDN 010 Bintan Utara to strengthen literacy skills while instilling character values and a love for Malay culture in elementary school students. This study aims to describe the implementation of the Malay Literacy Movement, analyze improvements in students' literacy and character through classroom action research, and identify the involvement of schools, families, and communities in supporting the sustainability of local culture-based literacy programs. The study used a Classroom Action Research (CAR) design, conducted in two cycles, with the following stages: planning, action implementation, observation, and reflection. The research subjects included all students in grades I-VI at SDN 010 Bintan Utara. Data were collected through observation of literacy activities, analysis of student work, documentation, and teacher reflection, and were then analyzed qualitatively, supported by percentage data to reinforce the results of each cycle. The results showed an increase in student literacy achievement from cycle I to cycle II. In cycle I, around 65% of students wrote pantuns with the correct structure and rhyme, and this increased to around 78% in cycle II. Students' ability to retell Malay fairy tales coherently and communicatively increased from around 60% in cycle I to around 72% in cycle II. In addition, students' active participation and confidence in literacy activities increased in cycle II. These findings indicate that the Malay Literacy Movement has the potential to serve as a model for developing a culture-based curriculum in elementary schools
