Abstract

This study aims to document and preserve the local knowledge of the people of Duwet Village, Kediri Regency, regarding the use of plants in the Ruwah Rosul tradition, which is carried out before traditional wedding ceremonies. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method with the determination of key informants (traditional leaders) through purposive sampling, followed by snowball sampling of additional informants (people who practice the tradition). Data collection was carried out through interviews, observations, and documentation, which were then validated using triangulation techniques. The data were analyzed descriptively through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results of the study found 10 types of plants dominated by shrubs, with flowers being the most widely used part of the plant in each ritual arrangement. Each plant has a philosophical meaning that represents the values of prayer, hope, and harmony in life. Most species have not been evaluated for their conservation status (Not Evaluated), but conservation practices have been carried out by the community through cultivation in their yards. This study provides a new contribution by integrating aspects of ethnobotany, cultural symbolism, and local conservation into a single framework for analyzing the Ruwah Rosul tradition.

Abstract

This study aims to document and preserve local knowledge about the use of medicinal plants for skin diseases used by the community of Jeruk Purut Village, Pasuruan Regency. The research method used is a qualitative descriptive approach. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation. Key informants were determined using purposive sampling, followed by snowball sampling to expand information from additional informants. The data were analyzed descriptively through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results of the study identified 14 plant species from 11 families used by the community to treat skin diseases, including acne, tinea versicolor, dermatitis, scabies, and ringworm. Leaves are the most widely used part of the plant due to their secondary metabolite content, which is effective as an antibacterial, antifungal, and anti-inflammatory agent. Processing is done traditionally through pounding, boiling, cutting, grating, or heating, and applied by rubbing, sticking, compressing, or drinking. The conservation status of most species is classified as Not Evaluated, indicating limited data and the need for further research as a basis for assessing extinction risk. These findings emphasize the importance of preserving local knowledge and the need for further research to ensure the sustainable use of medicinal plants.

Abstract

This study aims to document and preserve local knowledge about the use of plants in the Padhang Bulan tradition at Candi Jago, Tumpang Village, Malang Regency, East Java, including the types, habits, parts used, methods of use, philosophical meanings, and conservation efforts. The research used a qualitative descriptive approach. Data were obtained through interviews, observations, and documentation. Informants were determined using purposive sampling techniques, followed by snowball sampling. The data were analyzed descriptively through the stages of reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results showed that there were 21 plant species from 13 families, dominated by the Araceae family, with the majority being herbaceous and tree habitus. The most widely used parts of the plants were fresh flowers and leaves, each of which had philosophical meanings in the context of the ritual. Most of the plants are classified as Least Concern and are obtained through cultivation as a form of local conservation. The novelty of this study lies in the integration of ethnobotanical documentation, philosophical meanings, and plant conservation practices into a single framework of ritual analysis, which confirms the role of Padhang Bulan as a medium for the transmission of local knowledge as well as a strategy for preserving plant diversity based on culture.

Abstract

The Seblang Olehsari tradition in Banyuwangi is a sacred ritual of the Osing people who use various types of plants as an important part of cultural processions. This research aims to document the use of ritual plants in the Seblang Olehsari tradition and analyze plant conservation efforts and the inheritance of local knowledge between generations in the modern era. This study uses a mixed method approach. Qualitative data was collected through interviews, observations, and documentation of village heads, traditional leaders, Seblang dancers, and the people of Olehsari Village. Quantitative data was obtained through survey techniques using questionnaires on 28 respondents. Quantitative data were analyzed descriptively through intergenerational comparisons to measure the level of local knowledge and its inheritance patterns in the younger and older generations. The results of the study show that there are 33 types of plants that are used in various stages of the Seblang ritual. Quantitatively, the younger generation has a wider range of plant species recognition than the older generation, although a number of plant species are not recognized by both generations. This pattern suggests that local knowledge related to ritual plants is still passed down between generations, mainly through the role of the family as the primary source and direct observation as the dominant transmission mechanism. These findings show that the Seblang Olehsari tradition functions as a biocultural conservation mechanism that plays a role in maintaining the sustainability of the use of ritual plants, as well as supporting the preservation of biodiversity and local knowledge of the Osing people.
