Abstract

Mapping the potential of agropolitan areas from the perspective of basic infrastructure is essential for formulating regional development strategies. This study aims to analyze the availability of basic facilities and infrastructure as well as to formulate development strategies in Rinding Batu Village, Kesu District, North Toraja Regency. The research employed a descriptive quantitative and qualitative approach through infrastructure availability analysis and SWOT analysis. Data were collected through field surveys, questionnaires distributed to 44 respondents, and documentation from related institutions. The results show that the average availability of infrastructure reached 87% and facilities reached 87.8%, with the main weaknesses found in sanitation, drainage, and the suboptimal condition of several facilities. Quantitative SWOT analysis placed Rinding Batu Village in Quadrant I (x = 0.97; y = 1.16), indicating the dominance of strengths and opportunities for sustainable area development. The development strategy is therefore focused on optimizing the advantages of basic infrastructure while improving weaker aspects to support equitable and sustainable development.

Abstract

This research investigates the construction of religious messages and the efficacy of cultural preaching (da’wah) within the Pepe’-pepeka ri Makka (Fire in Mecca) dance tradition in Paropo Village, Makassar. While traditionally viewed as a cultural spectacle, this dance functions as a sophisticated medium for Islamic proselytization. Employing a qualitative descriptive method, this study utilizes Charles Sanders Peirce’s semiotic framework—comprising signs, objects, and interpretants—to analyze the ritual’s poetry and choreography. Data were collected through participatory observation, documentation, and in-depth interviews with key informants, including traditional maestros and religious figures. The findings reveal that the dance is a complex symbolic system representing core Islamic tenets, specifically Tawhid (monotheism), angelic hierarchies, and Thaharah (ritual purification). The fire serves as a potent index of divine light (Nur) and a symbol of spiritual resilience, echoing the miracle of Prophet Abraham. However, the analysis through the Stimulus-Organism-Response (SOR) model indicates a significant gap in public reception. While the performance elicits strong affective responses, such as awe and emotional engagement, the cognitive and behavioral impacts remain limited. This disconnect is attributed to linguistic barriers in the classical Makassarese poetry and the lack of explicit narrative interpretation. The study concludes that for cultural da’wah to achieve its transformative potential, "intersemiotic translation" is required to bridge the gap between traditional symbolism and contemporary public understanding.
