Abstract

This study aims to determine the process of adaptation of the Cheng Beng tradition of the Chinese Confucian community at the Surakarta Confucian Religious Assembly (MAKIN). This tradition is one of the pillars of their spiritual cultural identity. Their history has an impact on the Cheng Beng cultural tradition which faces challenges in maintaining its position in a pluralistic environment. This tradition has important meanings and values that are passed down from generation to generation. The novelty of this study raises the issue of pluralism and involves the Confucian Religious Assembly community in Surakarta. This study uses a qualitative method with in-depth interviews and observations. The results found that the adaptation of the Cheng Beng tradition involves driving factors that include local cultural interaction factors, regional geography, family preferences, and modernization. These four factors give rise to a concrete form of the adaptation process in the form of flexibility in the use of offerings and their implementation. Bikhu Parekh's theory regarding the concept of multiculturalism is used to analyze that the adaptation process shows the existence of dynamic cultural pluralism. Because of the interaction between cultures, intercultural dialogue, and recognition of the existence of minority community traditions in the midst of a pluralistic society. This effort is made to create an inclusive society. So that this tradition is relevant and maintained even though there are cultural differences.

Abstract

Rural community development is intrinsically linked to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for villages. This study aims to analyze the implementation of the Village SDGs in Plumbon Village (PV). Employing a qualitative research approach, data were collected through Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) and in-depth interviews. The findings reveal that the implementation of the Village SDGs in PV has achieved notable success across several key components, including the establishment of a safe and comfortable village, a peaceful and just community, the eradication of hunger, strong women's participation, sustainable consumption, and production practices, reduced inequalities, enhanced health and well-being, access to quality education, environmental conservation efforts, and the development of dynamic institutional structures. However, the study also identifies several challenges, such as improving infrastructure, empowering the community, managing agricultural and environmental resources, enhancing education and healthcare services, optimizing public service delivery, fostering effective communication and community engagement, and addressing shared aspirations and expectations within the community.

Abstract

Limited access to clean water in rural Indonesia not only affects public health and well-being but also reflects structural challenges in water governance, particularly regarding the quality of community participation. This article examines the dynamics of community participation in water governance and its implications for equitable water access through a comparative study of rural areas in eastern and central Indonesia. The research was conducted in Cunca Lolos and Cunca Wulang villages (East Nusa Tenggara) and Banyuurip Village (Central Java) using a qualitative comparative case study design. Data were collected through field observations, in-depth interviews, focus group discussions, and document analysis, and were thematically analyzed by conceptualizing participation as a socially embedded process shaped by power relations and local institutions. The findings reveal that community participation largely remains functional, limited to technical and operational involvement without equal influence in planning and decision-making processes. This pattern occurs across differing ecological contexts, indicating that water inequality is driven less by natural scarcity than by institutional and social structures. Limited participation contributes to unequal water distribution, weak transparency, low collective ownership, and fragile management sustainability, positioning water governance as an arena for reproducing local power relations. The study reframes participation as a layered social practice rather than a normative program indicator, emphasizing that participation quality is central to achieving water justice in rural governance.
