Abstract

The role of social capital in the agricultural sector, especially in rice production, is crucial as it serves not only as a foundation for national food security but also as a driving force for the rural economy. In Waihatu Village, West Kairatu District, West Seram Regency, rice farmers encounter several obstacles, including limited access to modern technology, market information, and the impacts of climate change, all of which affect crop productivity. This descriptive qualitative study aims to examine the effectiveness of social capital in supporting farmers' productive activities. The research took place in Waihatu Village and involved data collection through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation. The findings reveal that social capital is already embedded in the interactions between rice farmers and buyers, demonstrating its positive effect on increasing farmer productivity. Key elements of social capital—trust, social networks, and social norms—play a significant role in enhancing agricultural output. Trust among farmers fosters cooperation and mutual assistance, especially in the exchange of knowledge about improved farming techniques. Social networks support the distribution of agricultural products, improve access to business capital, and strengthen ties between farmers and buyers. Additionally, the presence of social norms helps to establish work discipline, promote collaboration, and maintain social cohesion. Importantly, the ethnic diversity in Waihatu Village is not seen as a barrier but rather as a source of shared experiences and innovation in farming practices.

Abstract

Dating violence among students is a crucial issue that needs to be addressed promptly so that students can be freed from various acts of dating violence and obtain a safe environment. Therefore, it is important to conduct research, particularly on the factors causing dating violence and the motivation to maintain unhealthy dating relationships among students, in order to fully understand and address this unhealthy dating relationship, minimizing it as its causes are identified. This study adopts a qualitative approach with a descriptive study method, utilizing data collection techniques such as in-depth interviews, documentation, and literature review. Qualitative findings reveal reasons for dating violence among students of the Faculty of Social and Political Sciences as well as the Faculty of Teacher Training and Education at Pattimura University, including internal and external factors such as mindset, unstable emotions, personality, feelings of dependency, and sexual urges. This indicates that forms of violence perpetrated by students include physical, psychological, sexual, and economic violence. The dominant reason why women or victims of violence remain in dating relationships in this study is because they inherit three key indicators of love: voluntary commitment, sacrifice, and forgiveness.

Abstract

Dewala and Ina Leta mean stone walls and mother village, respectively. These are monuments that symbolize “the beginning of life” narrative of the Tounwawan people of Moa Islands, Maluku, Indonesia. This first settlement narrative has become the collective memory of the Tounwawan community. It preserves their socio-cultural identity and helps them understand their roles and positions, perceiving themselves and others living together in the same environment. The research method used in this study is a qualitative approach with a phenomenological type. The data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation. The research results show that the Tounwawan people preserve Dewala and Ina Leta to symbolize the origin of their lives, elements of collective memory that can endure the test of time. The findings also show that the Tounwawan people maintain their intersubjective relations, which allows the noble values represented by these two monuments to be passed down as interpretable knowledge and experiences for the following generation.
