Abstract

The provision of educational services in the Ha-Anim ecological region in Asmat Regency South Papua Province, faces various complex challenges, including limited resources, difficult geographical conditions and low community participation in supporting educational services. So far, community participation has tended to be passive and symbolic, thus failing to make a real contribution to improving the quality and sustainability of education. Based on these conditions, this study aims to examine a relevant community participation transformation model to strengthen the governance of education services based on local wisdom, inclusiveness and sustainability. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with purposive sampling techniques to determine informants from two districts in Asmat Regency, namely Agats District (urban area) and Ayam District (rural area). The informants consisted of local stakeholders representing the 3-Tungku elements (traditional leaders, religious leaders and village government) and the 2-Peran elements (female leaders and youth leaders). Data collection was conducted through in-depth interviews and Focus Group Discussions (FGD), while data analysis consisted of three main stages, namely: (1) identification of primary and secondary data, (2) categorization of data according to research themes, and (3) interpretation and analysis of results based on qualitative research principles. The results of the study show that the transformation of community participation in Asmat needs to be directed towards a paradigm shift from formal participation to substantive participation. Revitalizing school committees is a key strategy through the integration of local social elements, namely traditional leaders, religious leaders, women and youth as representatives of the community.

Abstract

Background: Stunting remains a public health issue in Papua and is influenced by multiple factors, including early marriage. The implementation of Raising the Marriage Age (PUP) in indigenous communities is challenged by customary values that determine marriage readiness through social maturity rather than chronological age. Objective: This study aims to analyze the marriage rules of the Manirem indigenous community, the community’s response to the initiative to raise the marriage age, and the factors that support and hinder its implementation as an effort to prevent stunting in Beneraf Village, East Coast District, Sarmi Regency. Methods: This qualitative case study used observation, in-depth interviews, Focus Group Discussions, and document review. Informants included traditional leaders, a religious leader, youth leaders, women leaders, and the Head of Beneraf Village. Data were analyzed descriptively and thematically. Results: Participating community leaders generally expressed positive responses to PUP, although its implementation remains influenced by customary norms regarding adulthood and marriage readiness. Support comes from traditional leaders, religious institutions, village government, women, and youth, while limited education, reproductive health information, socioeconomic conditions, and institutional capacity remain barriers. The findings were synthesized into the Manirem Culture-Based PUP Integration Model, which integrates customary institutions, cultural communication, and public health objectives. Conclusion: PUP implementation in indigenous communities should be adapted to local sociocultural values and strengthened through collaboration among legitimate community actors to support quality family formation and stunting prevention.
