Abstract

Social changes in the Pattimura torch day tradition have been going on since 1979. The changes that occurred were caused by the conflict between the people of Tuhaha and Siri-sori Amalatu Village, which occurred in 1978. It does not stop there the conflict that occurred in 1999 in Ambon, the conflict between Batu Mera and Soya in 2012 the government in this case took over to change the form of the tradition so that it brought considerable influence. In 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, a decision from the Government and Kings throughout Saparua, in 2020 the Pattimura torch day tradition was not carried out. In 2021 and 2022, Pattimura's torch day has changed to the location of the torch fire custom, the location of the torch fire cultivation channel, the location of the torch fire burning, and the role of the people of Siri-sori Amalatu Village as traditional children in the Pattimura torch day tradition. Which is caused by covid, conflict, diffusion/spread of new understandings, and the will of the Government. As a result of this change in this tradition, the values contained in the tradition began to deteriorate which had a negative impact on the social relations of the people of Tuhaha and Siri-sori Amalatu Village. Keywords: Tradition, Change, Social, Impact.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the role of social exchange in shaping sustainable partnerships between vegetable farmers and customers within the agribusiness system in Wayari Hamlet. Using a qualitative approach and in-depth interview methods, this study identifies two main dimensions in the social relations of vegetable agribusiness: the associative dimension, which reflects cooperation, and the dissociative dimension, which reflects the potential for conflict or tension within relationships. The findings show that social exchange, in the form of mutual commitment between farmers and customers, serves as the main foundation for creating mutually beneficial relationships. Farmers provide high-quality and consistent products, while customers offer financial support and long-term loyalty. This relationship not only enhances the economic stability of the farmers but also strengthens social bonds within the community. The novelty of this study lies in its revelation of how social exchange, rather than merely market mechanisms, can serve as an effective strategy to build sustainable agribusiness partnerships. These findings provide significant contributions to the development of social sciences and the humanities, particularly in understanding the dynamics of social relations within community-based local economies. This study recommends the integration of social exchange principles in the design of sustainable agribusiness models and in community-based agricultural development policies.

Abstract

This study explores the cosmological significance of the Sao Stone within the indigenous Aman Seri community in Urimessing, aiming to reveal the philosophical dimensions of their worldview and its role in sustaining cultural identity and cosmic continuity. Employing a qualitative approach, the research was conducted through fieldwork, including in-depth interviews, guided discussions, and participant observations. The study examines how the cosmological process surrounding the Sao Stone intertwines the development of human beings, the indigenous Aman Seri community, and other cosmic substances in a continuous, layered flow. The findings demonstrate that the Sao Stone is not merely a physical object but a symbol of existential cohesion that shapes and reflects the evolving identity of the Aman Seri cosmos. Its cosmology is marked by two core characteristics: first, the unceasing, accumulative nature of growth across human, communal, and cosmic levels, where each new incident contributes to an ever-renewing heritage; and second, the sequential realization of cosmic elements, indicating a process without abrupt leaps, grounded in the maturity and density of preceding developments. Each stage in the cosmological process holds autonomous significance, while simultaneously depending on the pressure and specificity of the moment it emerges from. The novelty of this research lies in articulating the dynamic and recursive nature of Aman Seri’s cosmology as a framework of cultural resilience and adaptive identity. It contributes to broader discourses in social sciences and the humanities by emphasizing the relevance of indigenous cosmological systems in understanding community-based environmental philosophies, historical endurance, and cultural regeneration. Further studies are encouraged to investigate other cosmological symbols across Maluku that may offer parallel insights into local knowledge systems and their ongoing transformation.

Abstract

Maluku Province, Indonesia, is an archipelago characterized by its vibrant cultural, ethnic, and social diversity, but also by recurrent conflicts linked to land, identity, and historical grievances. This study reports on a community service initiative in Negeri Laha, Ambon, designed to enhance local capacities for conflict management and resolution. Employing participatory action research, the program delivered a series of workshops and interactive dialogues focused on the causes, dynamics, and solutions for conflict, with special attention to land disputes involving the Indonesian Air Force and local residents. Thirty participants, including youth, women, traditional, and religious leaders, engaged in case simulations, collaborative reflection, and practical training in negotiation and mediation. The results indicate a significant increase in participants’ understanding of conflict sources, practical confidence in resolution strategies, and motivation to continue peacebuilding efforts. Key barriers identified include deep-seated mistrust, external influences, and limited institutional support for ongoing reconciliation. The initiative’s emphasis on inclusive engagement, local leadership, and culturally relevant dialogue aligns with best practices in global peacebuilding literature and demonstrates the value of university-community collaboration. This model offers promising implications for other multicultural and conflict-prone areas, supporting both immediate dispute resolution and the development of sustainable local peace infrastructures. Future efforts should prioritize sustained capacity-building, regular dialogue forums, and integrated support from government and civil society to maintain long-term social harmony and resilience.

Abstract

This article examines the social construction of the meaning of wedding rings within two culturally and religiously distinct customary communities in Maluku: Negeri Amahusu (predominantly Christian) and Negeri Batu Merah (predominantly Muslim). The primary aim is to explore how wedding rings—as marital symbols—are interpreted differently within each community’s social, religious, and cultural context. Employing a qualitative approach and grounded in the social construction theory of Peter L. Berger and Thomas Luckmann, this study draws on in-depth interviews, participant observation, and document analysis conducted in both communities. The findings reveal that the wedding ring is not merely a romantic or legal symbol but is regarded as a sacred object embodying religious values, communal morals, and social identity—shaped and transmitted through family practices, religious narratives, and intercultural interactions. The novelty of this study lies in its cross-community reading of a shared symbol, highlighting how marriage symbols serve as intersubjective mediums for transmitting collective values. The study concludes that cultural symbols like wedding rings play a crucial role in fostering social cohesion and promoting interfaith understanding in multicultural societies. It recommends strengthening intercultural studies in the social sciences and humanities to deepen insights into symbolic dynamics within pluralistic communities.
