Abstract

Badan Usaha Milik Desa (BUMDes) or Village -Owned Enterprises have emerged as a strategic policy instrument for empowering rural communities through participatory economic management. This study examined collaborative arrangements between the village government and community members in managing traditional rice fields (sawah adat) under the BUMDes framework in Tubo Selatan Village, and explored how these arrangements fostered social solidarity. Historically, sawah adat functioned as a non-monetary compensation mechanism for village officials; however, it has evolved into a collective economic initiative that redistributes benefits and strengthens community welfare. By using a qualitative case study design , the research investigates interaction patterns, collaborat ive roles, and solidarity values embedded in the sawah adat –based BUMDes model. Twelve informants were selected purposively from government actors, BUMDes administrators, and farming communities. Data were gathered through observation, semi-structured interviews, and document analysis, and were examined using a structured process of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing within the framework of collaborative governance theory. Findings indicate that collaboration is institutionalized through transparent registration mechanisms, shared decision -making, and a proportional distribution of harvest yields between farmers and the BUMDes. The governance model ensures fair benefit - sharing, reinforces mutual responsibility, and sustains the cultural value of gotong royong. Moreover, deliberative processes grounded in accountability enhance trust, reduce conflict, and facilitate sustained cooperation. The management of traditional rice fields therefore functions not only as an economic driver but also as a catalyst for strengthening collective identity and social cohesion within the rural community.

Abstract

This study examines the spiritual and cultural meanings contained in the symbols of the Maccera Manurung ritual in Pasang Village, Enrekang Regency. Using Roland Barthes' semiotic approach, this study uncovers layers of denotative, connotative, and mythical meanings of various symbolic elements that appear in the ritual, such as Maddoa (giant swing), incense, Tau Tau (ancestral statues), and offerings. A qualitative approach with a case study design was applied to understand how the local community interprets the values ??of life and spirituality through these symbols. Data were collected through participant observation, in-depth interviews with traditional and community leaders, and documentation studies. The results show that the symbols in Maccera Manurung not only represent aspects of beliefs and traditions, but also strengthen the community's belief in the importance of balance between humans, nature, and the spiritual world as an effort to achieve protection, prosperity, and harmony. This study contributes to an understanding of the importance of preserving local cultural values ??that are rich in meaning and symbolic functions in community life.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to examine how the Bissu, as non-binary ritual leaders in Bugis society, sustain their identity and ritual authority amid shifting religious, cultural, and political landscapes. Method: The research adopts a qualitative approach using a phenomenological orientation. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with Bissu practitioners, community members, and government representatives, complemented by participant observation of rituals and cultural performances in Segeri, Pangkajene and Kepulauan (Pangkep), South Sulawesi. Data analysis was conducted through thematic and narrative techniques to identify recurring patterns related to lived experiences, adaptation strategies, and transformations of ritual authority. Findings: The findings reveal three main patterns. First, the Bissu experience a weakening of social recognition accompanied by stigma and economic vulnerability, despite their continued visibility in cultural events. Second, they actively employ religious and cultural adaptation strategies, integrating Islamic practices such as prayer, Barzanji recitation, and pilgrimage alongside traditional rituals. Third, Bissu ritual authority is being redefined from sacred, community-based leadership toward more symbolic and institutionally mediated roles, particularly through government-sponsored cultural and heritage programmes. Implications These findings contribute to debates on non-binary indigenous leadership by demonstrating that ritual authority is shaped not only by cosmology but also by institutional and political arenas where recognition is negotiated. Practically, the study suggests that cultural and local government policies should move beyond event-based recognition toward more sustainable support that enables the Bissu to maintain ritual roles within their communities. Originality: This study offers an original, voice-driven account grounded in Bissu narratives and direct observation, moving beyond symbolic or historical analyses. It introduces a two-level model of adaptation and conceptualises ritual authority as a dynamic process of contemporary negotiation rather than a fixed traditional status.

Abstract

This study analyzes the diplomacy of the Balanipa Kingdom in managing political, religious, and economic relations within the Mandar context, particularly through the Pitu Ba’bana Binanga confederation mechanism (seven kingdoms at the river mouth). This study employs a qualitative historical method combining literature review, in-depth interviews, and primary source analysis. This study finds that Balanipa’s diplomacy was not merely an instrument of external relations, but an internal consolidation mechanism that integrated the political dimension through deliberation and collective governance structures, the religious dimension through accommodative Islamization and the institutionalization of Sharia within the Parewa Saraq, and the economic dimension through the management of an inclusive maritime trade network. Key findings indicate that the cultural values of sipamandar (mutual reinforcement) and sirumung karaya (consultation) serve as the philosophical foundation shaping the character of Balanipa diplomacy—which is non-aggressive, participatory, and oriented toward multilateral harmonization. This diplomatic model holds significant relevance for contemporary social and multicultural development, particularly in strengthening participatory democracy, managing diversity based on local consensus, and revitalizing local wisdom in the era of globalization.
