Abstract

This study aims to document and preserve the local community's knowledge regarding the use of ritual plants in the Encek Festival. This study focuses on identifying the types, habits, parts used, methods of use, philosophical meanings, and conservation efforts of the plants used in the Encek Festival. This study uses a qualitative descriptive approach. Data were collected through interviews, observation, and documentation. This study involved a number of informants who were determined gradually through purposive sampling, followed by snowball sampling until data saturation was reached. The data obtained was then analyzed descriptively with reference to Miles and Huberman's analysis stages, namely data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results of the study show that the Encek Festival utilizes 10 plant species from 8 families, dominated by tree habitus, with flowers as the most widely used part and generally arranged in ritual processions. These plants have philosophical meanings as symbols of spirituality to God. The conservation status of most species is classified as Not Evaluated, while several others are classified as Least Concern, indicating a relatively low risk of extinction. Based on how they are obtained, the plants used come from cultivation and purchase, so their use does not directly put pressure on plant populations. This study confirms that the Encek Festival plays an important role in preserving ethnobotanical knowledge while maintaining the sustainability of local cultural values amid the dynamics of modernization.

Abstract

The Temas Village Selamatan tradition is closely related to the use of plants in its implementation, but the lack of documentation means that the ethnobotanical knowledge contained therein has not been widely revealed. This study aims to document and preserve local community knowledge regarding the use of ritual plants used in the Temas Village Selamatan tradition in Batu City. This study focuses on identifying plant types, habits, organs used, methods of use, stages of use, philosophical meanings, and conservation efforts. The type of research used is descriptive qualitative. Data was obtained through interviews, observation, and documentation. Key informants were determined using purposive sampling, then additional informants were selected using snowball sampling based on the recommendations of key informants. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics to reinforce the presentation of the qualitative data obtained. The results showed that the dominance of plant use in rituals was based on the philosophical meaning contained in the plants, with the conservation status of the majority of plants classified as Not Evaluated according to the IUCN. The connection between plant use and the philosophical meaning contained therein indirectly supports plant conservation for the sustainability of rituals. These findings confirm that plants play a role as living archives that must be preserved for future generations.

Abstract

The Kirab Jolen tradition is one of the local wisdom of the Javanese people that utilizes various types of plants, but the local knowledge that accompanies it has the potential to be eroded due to limited scientific documentation. This research aims to document and preserve the local knowledge of the community regarding the use of ritual plants in the Kirab Jolen Tradition. This study uses a qualitative descriptive approach by collecting data through participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. Informants were determined using purposive techniques followed by snowball sampling, involving village heads, shamans, and community leaders. The data was analyzed descriptively through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawn. The results of the study identified 26 types of plants belonging to 17 families dominated by herbal habitus with the most widely used plant parts in the form of fresh fruits. The ritual plant has a philosophical meaning that is closely related to the value of spirituality and an expression of gratitude to God. Based on the IUCN conservation status, most plants are in the category not evaluated, but the community has implemented local conservation efforts through planting and care in gardens and yards. These findings show that the Kirab Jolen Tradition plays an important role in the preservation of local wisdom, the strengthening of ethnobotanical knowledge, and the sustainability of biological resources.
