Abstract

Blang Pegayon Subdistrict, Gayo Lues Regency, is one of the regions with high biodiversity and is renowned for its role in traditional medicine. This study aimed to identify the medicinal plant species used by local communities, the plant parts utilized, processing methods, and conservation strategies applied. The research population consisted of residents of Blang Pegayon Subdistrict, Gayo Lues Regency, with purposive sampling involving 48 respondents from six villages based on the presence of traditional medicinal plant use, including both key and non-key informants. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, observation, plant identification using the Picture This application and the Plants of the World Online (POWO) database, and documentation. The data were analyzed descriptively. The findings revealed 51 medicinal plant species belonging to 29 families. The leaf was the most frequently used plant part (58%), while the most common processing method was pounding (26%). Conservation efforts were carried out through cultivation in home gardens (40%), planting in fields or farms (40%), and the use of wild plants from surrounding environments (20%). The results of this study are expected to provide valuable information for the development of future sustainable research. Keyword: etnobotany; conservation; traditional; medicine plant.

Abstract

The transformation of transportation infrastructure in Makassar—from toll roads and BRT corridors to digital mobility—has significantly altered the city's landscape. However, migrant groups such as online motorcycle taxi drivers, port workers, and street vendors face physical, symbolic, and digital exclusion. This study employs urban ethnography, participatory observation, and route tracing with 32 resource persons. The analysis was carried out through thematic coding, grounded theory, and cross-method triangulation. The results show that top-down built infrastructure often poses mobility barriers, but migrants are not passive: they take alternative routes, build community solidarity, and make tactical use of technology. This practice shapes the infrapolitics of mobility while producing urban space from below. This study enriches the theories of Lefebvre (space production), Urry (the mobility turn), Giddens (structuration), and Gandy (the political ecology of infrastructure), and affirms the importance of the spatial ethnography approach in understanding cities in the global South.

Abstract

This study explores how marginalized communities in Makassar construct and sustain their life rhythms amidst the temporal pressures shaped by infrastructure systems, mobility regimes, and urban development logics. Employing a space- and time-based urban ethnographic approach, the research traces residents’ daily tactics, rhythmic narratives, and spatial practices in navigating mobility exclusion and the accelerating, non-inclusive urban pace. Field findings reveal that residents engage in various forms of micro-resistance—such as adjusting selling hours, utilizing interstitial moments in urban space, and cultivating social rhythms that diverge from technocratic logics. Within temporalities not governed by state or capital, urban spaces are collectively reproduced from below, positioning spatial production as a bottom-up process rather than a top-down imposition. The study contributes theoretically by advancing Lefebvre’s rhythmanalysis, Urry’s notion of differential mobility, and Gandy’s political ecology of infrastructure within the context of Global South cities. By foregrounding time as a critical analytical lens, the research expands our understanding of how power operates temporally in urban life, and how residents negotiate this power through their everyday rhythms. Ultimately, this research offers a new perspective for interpreting urban dynamics—not only through spatiality but also through socially produced temporalities.

Abstract

Makassar is currently facing a mobility crisis that is not merely technical, but deeply embedded in the social, political, and spatial dimensions of urban life. Mobility spaces in the city—roads, transport nodes, and travel rhythms—have become contested arenas where technocratic planning collides with residents’ everyday realities. This study aims to examine how mobility spaces in Makassar are produced, negotiated, and lived by urban dwellers amid infrastructural dysfunction and unequal access. Using a qualitative, city-based ethnographic approach, the research was conducted across key mobility corridors and densely populated neighborhoods. Conceptually, this study draws on the frameworks of spatial anarchy (Castells & Smith), temporal disorientation (Zerubavel), and the politics of infrastructure (Larkin) to analyze how disorganized space and time shape citizens’ mobility experiences. Findings reveal that Makassar’s mobility space is marked by spatial fragmentation, erratic urban rhythms, and various forms of micro-resistance—such as the use of informal routes, modifications to pete-pete (minibus) trajectories, and the occupation of street space by informal economic activities. This research contributes theoretically to urban anthropology and the discourse on mobility justice by foregrounding the need to understand cities from below—through the lived experiences of residents who continuously adapt within unruly and unstable urban environments

Abstract

This study explores how influencer marketing shapes digital identity and spatial relations in Makassar, Indonesia, through a spatially grounded urban ethnography approach. This framework enables a deep reading of how urban residents engage with digital practices to navigate symbolic and spatial exclusion generated by influencer content. Through social media observation, narrative interviews, and the tracing of urban locations featured in visual representation, the study finds that influencer marketing does not merely sell products—it also reproduces social hierarchies through aesthetic spatiality and the logic of visibility. Yet, amid such exclusions, marginalized communities deploy diverse tactics of resistance, including visual reengineering, the use of alternative locations, and digital irony that disrupt dominant narratives. These findings suggest that digital identity is not passively consumed but actively negotiated through concrete and often unexpected spatial relations. Drawing on Lefebvre’s theory of the production of space, Urry’s concept of digital mobilities, and Gandy’s politics of infrastructure, the study shows how cities and digital spaces co-constitute a contested symbolic terrain. The article’s main contribution lies in advancing a Global South perspective, where digital technologies and aesthetics are practiced contextually and do not always conform to the logics of global capitalism. This research underscores that urban—and digital—space is not solely produced from above, but also from below, through the everyday agency of ordinary citizens.

Abstract

Ground-dwelling insects play an important role in the decomposition of soil organic matter and serve as bioindicators of environmental degradation, which is reflected by the decline in insect diversity. This study aimed to determine the similarity and diversity levels of ground-dwelling insects and to produce an identification book across different habitat types in Lembah Sabil, Aceh Barat Daya. An exploratory survey method with purposive sampling was applied. The research subjects were all ground-dwelling insects inhabiting various habitats, with observations conducted at four sites in Lembah Sabil. Data were analyzed both quantitatively and qualitatively. The results showed that insect similarity was 59% between coffee plantations and secondary forests, 29% between coastal forests and nutmeg plantations, 36% between coastal forests and coffee plantations, 29% between coastal forests and secondary forests, 42% between coffee and nutmeg plantations, and 48% between nutmeg plantations and secondary forests. Diversity levels were categorized as moderate, with index values of 2.69 in coastal forests, 2.54 in coffee plantations, 2.25 in nutmeg plantations, and 2.43 in secondary forests. The feasibility test of the identification book yielded a score of 76%, indicating it is suitable for use. In conclusion, the similarity of ground-dwelling insects in coastal forests was low, while coffee plantations, nutmeg plantations, and secondary forests exhibited higher similarity. The diversity levels across all four habitat types were classified as moderate
