Abstract

Abstract Indonesia, known as an agrarian nation, relies heavily on agriculture as the foundation of its economy and a provider of basic human needs. Among its agricultural subsectors, plantations particularly coffee hold strategic economic, social, and cultural significance. In South Sumatra’s Pagar Alam, situated at the foothills of Mount Dempo, coffee cultivation has long been the cornerstone of the local economy. For the indigenous Jeme Pagar Alam community, coffee represents both livelihood and cultural heritage, reflecting generations of agricultural tradition. Despite its economic contributions, challenges such as limited productivity, poor infrastructure, and restricted market access persist. This study examines the socio-economic impacts of coffee cultivation on the Jeme Pagar Alam people in Dempo Utara District from 1997 to 2023, focusing on production trends, pricing, and cultivation practices to reveal the enduring “sweetness” of coffee in sustaining local life.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to find out the process of entry and development of Hindus and to explain the identity of Balinese people in Tugumulyo Village, Lempuing District, Ogan Komering Ilir Regency, South Sumatra Province. The research methods used were historical that included heuristics, criticism, interpretation, historiography, and interviews. The study indicates that the presence of Hindus in Tugumulyo Village was caused by economic disparities in the previous transmigration area. The Hindu community in its religious activities is still the same in their application of the teachings of the Vedas. Balinese people with their Hindu religion, continue to maintain and develop self-concepts in a pluralistic society (Javanese, Komering, and others). This effort has paid off, it has been proven that the Balinese retain their identity, without putting tolerance aside. This article contributes to our understanding of harmonious life between people with different ethnic and religious backgrounds in a transmigration region in Indonesia.
