Abstract

This study aims to explore the integration of kinship and solidarity values derived from the Hombo Batu tradition into student character education to reduce conflicts in a senior high school in South Nias, Indonesia. Hombo Batu, a culturally significant local practice, emphasizes mutual cooperation, collective responsibility, and respect for peers and elders. Despite its potential, the values of Hombo Batu are rarely incorporated into formal educational settings, leaving students prone to interpersonal conflicts and diminished social cohesion. The study employed a mixed-methods approach, combining surveys, observations, and interviews with students and teachers to assess changes in attitudes, behavior, and peer interactions following a series of value-based educational interventions. The intervention included peer-group activities, reflective discussions, and culturally framed conflict-resolution exercises. Results indicate that students internalized kinship and solidarity values, demonstrated increased empathy, and engaged in cooperative behaviors that significantly reduced instances of conflict. Furthermore, institutional strategies such as monthly “Solidarity Sessions” and student “Kinship Ambassadors” helped embed these values into the school’s daily culture. The findings suggest that character education rooted in local wisdom not only enhances students’ ethical development but also fosters a harmonious learning environment. This culturally grounded approach provides a model that can be adapted in other schools seeking to strengthen social cohesion and reduce conflict through contextually relevant character education.

Abstract

Hombo Batu, also known as Fahombo, is a stone-jumping tradition of the Nias people that holds significant cultural value and has been passed down through generations. This tradition not only reflects the community’s bravery, solidarity, and social identity but also holds substantial potential to be developed as a knowledge-based economic resource. This study employs a literature review approach to analyze scientific literature related to Hombo Batu in the contexts of culture, education, and creative economy, focusing on publications from 2020 to 2025. The review examines the relationship between the tradition, contextual science (ethnoscience), and economic opportunities through cultural tourism, experiential learning, and the development of knowledge-based products. The results indicate that Hombo Batu can serve as a medium for science education, including physics concepts such as force, kinetic energy, and projectile motion, thus providing strong educational value. Moreover, this tradition has the potential to support local economic development through cultural tourism, culturally-based training, and creative products that combine education with cultural experience. The synergy between culture, science, and creative economy allows Hombo Batu to become a sustainable economic resource while preserving the cultural identity of the Nias community. This study emphasizes the importance of integrating local wisdom with scientific knowledge in efforts to develop a knowledge-based economy.

Abstract

This study aims to develop an integrated model for food crop productivity by combining natural sciences, remote sensing technology, and Nias local wisdom in South Nias Regency, Indonesia. The agricultural sector in this region faces challenges such as low productivity, soil fertility variability, and limited access to modern agricultural monitoring systems. To address these issues, a mixed-methods approach was applied, integrating quantitative geospatial analysis and qualitative ethnographic data. Remote sensing data from Sentinel-2 and Landsat satellites were used to extract vegetation indices (NDVI) for assessing crop health and spatial productivity patterns. Soil parameters and climatic variables from natural sciences were incorporated to explain biophysical factors influencing crop growth. In addition, local wisdom practices such as organic farming, mixed cropping, and traditional planting systems were quantified into a Local Wisdom Index (LWI). The data were analyzed using Geographic Information Systems and machine learning models to generate a predictive productivity map. The results show that the integrated model significantly improves prediction accuracy compared to single-source approaches, with strong spatial consistency between vegetation health, soil fertility, and traditional farming practices. This study demonstrates that combining scientific data, geospatial technology, and indigenous knowledge provides a more holistic and sustainable framework for agricultural productivity modeling in tropical rural regions.
