Abstract

This study aims to explain the form of resistance from traditional traders after the fire against the relocation policy established by the Medan City Government, Indonesia. In-depth interviews were conducted with 6 informants who are traditional traders at Aksara Market and 1 informant as a representative from the Medan city government. This data was collected to find out the opinion and perspective of the community towards the relocation policy and reasons for the Medan city government to relocate Aksara traders to other places. The results indicate that traders in the Aksara market disagree with the relocation policy determined by the Medan City Government. Therefore, people represented their resistance by selling along the sidewalks of the Aksara market which had burned and caused traffic jams. Moreover, they established a group of fire victim traders called PK2PTAM (Representative of Fire Victims Traditional Traders of Aksara Market Medan) to struggle with the revitalization of Aksara Market. The main reason for the Medan City government in issuing this relocation policy was the flyover construction project which affects the location of Aksara market.

Abstract

Coffee has become a highly favored commodity among various communities. One of the coffee-producing areas in Ajibata Subdistrict is Horsik Village, where farmers cultivate coffee on the slopes of the Toba Caldera. This article explains the strategy of strengthening farmers' economic institutions, starting from traditional planting and cultivation of robusta coffee based on local knowledge transmission to increasing the value of coffee products through local and regional market integration. The traditional technologies used have resulted in low yield quality and quantity, which subsequently leads to insufficient income for the socio-economic needs of the community. Strengthening institutional capacity through knowledge transfer, skill development, and provision of tools and technology for post-harvest processing is essential to improve productivity, income, and overall economic well-being of coffee farmers.

Abstract

Pembangunan infrastrukur dan berbagai sarana pendukung kepariwisataan telah membuat beralihnya peruntukan lahan pertanian yang ada di Desa Sukamakmur. Padahal mayoritas penduduk desa ini sebelumnya merupakan petani, baik sebagai pemilik lahan, penggarap, maupun pemilik sekaligus penggarap. Pada saat ini, dari 525 ha keseluruhan luas desa Sukamakmur, hanya tersisa 10 ha yang menjadi lahan pertanian. Oleh karena itu menarik untuk melihat dinamika perubahan sosial para petani sekaligus bagaimana pola adaptasi yang mereka lakukan pasca peralihan tersebut. Melalui metode observasi langsung dan wawancara mendalam kepada para informan, maka terlihat telah terjadi perubahan sosial pada masyarakat Sukamakmur. Perubahan sosial tersebut khususnya tentang prespektif mereka menyoal tanah leluhur yang kemudian mempengaruhi norma-norma sosial serta interaksi antar penduduk. Kemudian terlihat pula pola adaptasi yang mereka lakukan ketika wajah desa mereka sudah beralih, dari desa pertanian menjadi desa pariwisata. Dampak positif dari perkembangan yang pesat di Sukamakmur berjalan beriringan dengan dampak negatif yang ada serta kemudian menimbulkan beberapa gejolak sosial dalam masyarakat. Selanjutnya, pendidikan dan pembinaan menyangkut keterampilan menjadi hal yang selanjutnya dibutuhkan sehingga laju penjualan lahan berikut menghilangnya pertanian, dapat dibendung. Sekaligus mampu mendidik masyarakat untuk mengkonversi hasil penjualan lahan ke dalam bidang yang lebih produktif

Abstract

The surge in premarital sexual incidents among teenagers leading to early marriages, prompted by unintended pregnancies, pervasive dating behavior beyond ethical boundaries, exposure to explicit content, and the prevalence of sexual diseases, underscores the critical need for comprehensive sexual and reproductive health education. This study explores the patterns and strategies employed in imparting sexual education and managing reproductive health among students at Yayasan Perguruan Mayjend Sutoyo High School, Sisingamangaraja Street, Medan. Employing qualitative methods, data was gathered through in-depth interviews and focus group discussions with students, Biology teachers, the School Principal, parents, and other stakeholders. The findings reveal that sexual education primarily stems from Biology teachers, who employ tactful language to teach human anatomy, reproductive organs, and sexual functions, adhering to contextual norms. Reproductive health education addresses the dynamics and consequences of casual sexual relationships, utilizing age-appropriate teaching materials. Teenagers seek diverse knowledge from parents, school descriptions, and online resources to navigate sexual and reproductive health challenges. However, the discreet provision of sexual education is influenced by traditional cultural values, fostering silence and shame, particularly in discussing male and female genitalia.

Abstract

The community in Kutarayat Village has been the victim of the eruption of Mount Sinabung for years, from the first eruption that occurred in 2010 until 2021. During this vulnerable period, the people of Kutarayat Village had to evacuate several times. The majority of the community's livelihoods are as farmers, making it a significant challenge for those affected by the eruption of Mount Sinabung. Therefore, this research aims to understand how farmers perceive the eruption of Mount Sinabung, as well as the socio-economic efforts they have made after the cruption, and to identify the resilience patterns that have emerged post-eruption. The research method used in this study is qualitative and conducted in Kutarayat Village, Naman Teran District, Karo Regency. Data collection techniques include observation and in-depth interviews with informants. The results of the study found that, generally, farmers perceive the eruption of Mount Sinabung from two perspectives: positive and negative. The economic resilience efforts made by farmers include meeting family needs while evacuating, cleaning, and repairing agricultural land post-eruption, ensuring water supply for agriculture, and utilizing volcanic mud. There are three patterns of economic resilience among farmers in Kutarayat Village: first, economic resilience pattern with the same livelihood, second, economic resilience pattern by adding or changing the main livelihood, and third, economic resilience pattern by renting agricultural land in other villages.

Abstract

Introduction: Mining operations in North Sumatera Province have generated both economic opportunities and socio-environmental challenges for surrounding traditional communities. The coexistence of PT. Agincourt Resources in Batangtoru and PT. Sorikmas Mining in Naga Juang has triggered land disputes, environmental degradation, and social polarization, reflecting the tension between corporate expansion and the preservation of customary (adat) values.Purposes of the Research: This study aims to map and classify sources of social conflict between mining companies and local adat communities, examine the dynamics of traditional institutions, and develop a participatory conflict resolution model that integrates local wisdom and community empowerment.Methods of the Research: Using a mixed-method design, this research combines quantitative surveys with qualitative approaches, including in-depth interviews, focus group discussions, and participant observation. Data were analyzed using parametric statistics and qualitative matrix analysis to identify socio-cultural dynamics, conflict patterns, and the institutional role of adat in mediating disputes.Results of the Research: The findings show that mining activities have disrupted social cohesion and traditional governance structures, particularly regarding ulayat (customary) land rights. Nonetheless, the study introduces a Traditional Community Participation Model emphasizing adat leaders as mediators in conflict resolution. This model reinforces social capital, restores trust, and enhances collaboration between companies, communities, and government institutions. The research offers a novel integrative framework linking customary institutions with sustainable conflict management and responsible mining governance in Indonesia.
