Abstract

The purpose of this study was to identify and document the diversity of medicinal plants used by the people of Srimulyo Village, Dampit District, Malang Regency, which is still on the slopes of Mount Semeru. This study used a mixed method with a sequential exploratory design. Qualitative data were obtained through interviews with key informants and additional informants, while quantitative data were obtained through questionnaires to 98 respondents. Informants were selected using purposive sampling and snowball sampling which were analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively using the Informant Consensus Factor (ICF) index, Relative Frequency of Citation (RFC), Use Value (UV) analyzed from Species Use Value (SUV), Plant Part Use Value (PPUV) and Family Use Value (FUV), as well as Fidelity Level (FL). The results of the study identified 15 plant species from 10 families used to treat digestive disorders, with the dominant family Zingiberaceae (FUV=2.27) and the highest use value in Zingiber officinale (SUV=1.23). Leaves are the most widely used part of the plant (35.14%), generally through boiling. The ethnobotanical index shows a high consensus of use in typhoid fever (ICF=1.00) and constipation (ICF=0.98), with Psidium guajava as the most frequently mentioned species (RFC=0.78). Several species such as Musa sp., Cymbopogon citratus, Colocasia esculenta, Carica papaya, Piper retrofractum, and Strobilanthes crispus show absolute specificity of use (FL=100%). This ethnobotanical data directly contributes to local knowledge conservation efforts while strengthening the biocultural resilience of communities in adapting to the environment on the slopes of Mount Semeru from generation to generation.

Abstract

This study aims to document and preserve the local knowledge of the Arjowilangun community, in Malang Regency, East Java, regarding the use of plants in the Leang-Leong tradition. The methodology employed is qualitative descriptive, with data collection techniques including interviews with key informants identified through purposive sampling (traditional leaders), as well as additional informants identified through snowball sampling. Observations were conducted to verify the use of plants in the Leang-Leong ritual, and document analysis was used to support secondary data. Data analysis was carried out in three stages: data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results of the study indicate that there are 14 plant species from 11 families utilised in the Leang-Leong tradition. Kembang setaman is the most commonly used plant species. Each plant holds a distinct philosophical meaning, reflecting the rationale for its use in each ritual. The conservation status of most plants is classified as Least Concern, indicating that their populations remain stable, although community conservation efforts have not yet been fully optimised. The utilisation of various plants within this tradition reflects the close relationship between humans and nature.

Abstract

Community knowledge about Family Medicinal Plants (TOGA) is an important part of local wisdom that plays a role in maintaining health independently, but has not been optimally documented and shows variations in the level of utilization. This study aims to identify TOGA diversity and analyze its utilization patterns in Sekarpuro Village, Malang Regency. The study used a mixed methods approach with an exploratory sequential design through interviews, observations, documentation, and questionnaires to the community who cultivate and utilize TOGA. Determination of informants and respondents was carried out using purposive sampling and snowball sampling techniques. Data were analyzed qualitatively by referring to the stages of Miles & Huberman, then quantitatively using the ethnobotanical index. The results showed that there were 33 species of medicinal plants from 25 families utilized by the community. The highest Informant Consensus Factor (ICF) value was found in wound diseases (0.90), while Pandanus amaryllifolius had the highest Relative Frequency of Citation (RFC) and Species Use Value (SUV) values, namely 0.46 and 0.98, respectively. The Pandanaceae family demonstrated the highest Family Use Value (FUV) of 0.98. Leaves are the most widely utilized plant part, with a Plant Part Use Value (PPUV) of 50.11%. The Fidelity Level (FL) index is used to assess community tendencies in using a particular plant species to treat specific ailments. The use of traditional medicinal plants (TOGA) in Sekarpuro Village reflects the strong role of local knowledge in supporting traditional healing practices and demonstrates the potential for development, particularly in underutilized plants.

Abstract

This study aims to examine and document local knowledge regarding the use of plants in the Siraman Waranggono tradition in Sendang Bektiharjo, Tuban, from an ethnobotanical perspective. The research was conducted using a qualitative descriptive approach through interviews, observations, and documentation, with informants selected through purposive and snowball sampling. The results of the study indicate that the Siraman Waranggono tradition utilizes 17 plant species from 16 families, with a predominance of herbaceous (7.41%) and shrubby (6.35%) growth forms. The plant parts used include flowers, leaves, and fruits, which are utilized as ingredients in kembang telon, as ritual accompaniments, as decorations for the waranggono, and as components of offerings or ubarampe. Each plant species carries philosophical meanings related to purity, self-protection, harmony, hope for life, and community well-being. Most plants are obtained from home gardens, traditional markets, and local cultivation with a relatively secure conservation status, indicating the presence of locally-based conservation practices. Thus, this study demonstrates that the Siraman Waranggono tradition functions not only as a cultural practice but also reflects a biocultural knowledge system that integrates cultural and spiritual values, biodiversity conservation, and the community’s ethnobotanical knowledge.

The study used an exploratory sequential mixed methods design. Data were obtained through observation, interviews, documentation, and surveys of 94 respondents. The results showed that there were 17 species of carbohydrate-producing plants utilized, dominated by herbaceous, shrubby, and tree habitus. The ICF value of 0.98 indicated a very high level of agreement among respondents. Species with the highest frequency of mention included Manihot esculenta, Zea mays, Ipomoea batatas, Oryza sativa, Musa paradisiaca, and Solanum tuberosum which also had the highest RFC value of 1. The Euphorbiaceae family had the highest FUV value of 3.85, while the most widely utilized plant part was the tuber (52.75%). The use of carbohydrate-producing plants as staple foods is still focused on a few key species, with a high level of knowledge diversification. Therefore, efforts to diversify and preserve local food plants are needed to support community food security.
