Abstract

Massive external linguistic pressure is currently threatening the existence of the local language and culture of the Muna people. Responding to these conditions, this study aims to examine the dynamics of retention of ancient vocabulary as an instrument of local cultural integration. This study applied a qualitative method centered on the subject's experience and memory, with data analysis using the MAXQDA 24 software. The results of the study show that the Muna people have a high capacity for retaining ancient vocabulary, which serves as a representation of cultural identity and binds group solidarity. However, this high memory retention is inversely proportional to the very minimal frequency of daily use, so its use is limited to specific and sacred contexts. To deal with the threat of language extinction, communities rely on cultural integration mechanisms through the internalization of values and media adaptation as a crucial vocabulary preservation strategy. In conclusion, the continuity of Muna culture in the contemporary era requires synergy between cultural integration at the community level and the use of public space and digital media. This is necessary to transform the preservation of ancient vocabulary from a mere object of historical memory to an active daily practice of communication.

Abstract

Agricultural downstream innovation in Buru Regency, Maluku, has significant potential to absorb local labor, reduce unemployment, and improve the welfare of rural communities. The region's abundant natural resources should be utilized to support national food security through efficient agricultural processing. This study employed a qualitative method with an explanatory case study approach to examine the causal relationships between variables. Thirty informants were selected purposively from seven villages. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and participant observation, then analyzed thematically using MAXQDA 24.4.1 software. The findings indicate that rural communities are actively adapting to agricultural downstreaming through social and economic strategies, while preserving cultural heritage. This process combines value-added creation, risk management, and social capital utilization. However, for socio-economic resilience to be sustainable, support is needed in the form of technology adoption, resource access, and inclusive social participation. Future policies should strengthen social capital, preserve local values, economic innovation, and community participation. Further research is recommended to explore the impact of value changes, technological barriers, social capital mapping, and a comparison of adaptation models.
