Abstract

In the beginning, Baduy’s Remote Indigenous Community (KAT Baduy) received the family planning program, they were generally using implants then changed to pill contraceptives. Currently, almost all family planning acceptors in Baduy use injectable contraception. Based on this phenomenon, this research examined what channels or media play a role in the spread of family planning and how it relates to the effectiveness of their innovation acceptance in the Baduy community. The research method is an explanatory survey using frequency distribution analysis, with Spearman correlation analysis to determine the relationship between variables. The results show all communication channels or reference sources of information from respondents who obtain information about Family Planning (KB). With 200 samples from 1528 family planning acceptors in KAT Baduy (1503 family planning acceptors in Outer Baduy and 25 family planning acceptors in Inner Baduy), most of the respondents received information about family planning from their relatives or neighbors. Only 22% of respondents admitted that health workers or midwives were their sources of family planning information. Posyandu cadres were a source of family planning information for 21% of respondents. Village officials which are customary leaders or kakolot adat are only mentioned by 7% of respondents as a source of family planning information. The remaining 1% have received family planning information from other sources such as friends or the media. The majority of respondents stated that their decision to take family planning or accept the concept of family planning was only about 6 months. In a conclusion, the relationship between the type of communication channel and the effectiveness of innovation acceptance has a positive and "quite strong" relationship. For recommendation, this research suggests to health worker from Cisimeut Health Center keep their internal task of providing health services and assistance to Baduy residents in Kanekes Village, though there are challenges from external parties which builds overlapping and miscoordination health services with several social actions and health volunteers from outside Baduy.

Abstract

The Debus performing art of Banten, which has existed since the Sultanate era, now faces complex challenges. On one hand, there are issues of preserving traditional values, while on the other there is the pressure of modernization. Moreover, Debus, which is often associated with magical elements, frequently triggers negative stigmas, whereas the moral pluralism inherent within has not been thoroughly explored. This problem is the focus of the current study. This research applies a qualitative phenomenological approach through participatory observation of Debus performances, in-depth interviews with 10 informants (Debus artists), focus group discussions, and literature studies. Data analysis employs Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). The findings show that Debus artists construct the meaning of moral pluralism through the integration of Islamic spiritual values, cultural resilience, and symbolic negotiation. These findings are consistent with Mead's theory of symbolic interactionism and Rawls's moral pluralism theory regarding the coexistence of values in multicultural societies. Negative stigma against Debus mostly stems from a gap in understanding (stock of knowledge) between the artists and the public. The study concludes that Debus represents a unique model of moral pluralism through dynamic and complex practices of cultural communication. Public education and progressive cultural policy are required to reduce stigma and support its preservation as Indonesian cultural heritage.

Abstract

This article examines the connection between proxemics and cosmopolitanism. Cosmopolitans can be understood as citizens of a borderless state or owners of global citizenship, with their communication also being borderless. Cosmopolitans usually come from many different cultures and use their native languag, but their perception of place is a gradually construced process and built with experience, education or the information they have gathered from media. Indonesian cosmopolitans also have an identity of being global citizens, who like travelling around the world but choose to stay in Indonesia with their family and friends. This article describes about Indonesian cosmopolitans who prefer to live in Indonesia despite the lack of a good living environment. The article also analyzes informant perceptions of space during their time studying in Australia and working in Indonesia. In accordance with the methodology chosen for the study, interviews with three informants of the International Class Program were conducted in Jakarta in July-August 2016. The informants were active students and are currently working near Jakarta. The study identifies the differences inherent in Indonesian cosmopolitans: 1) Indonesian cosmopolitans do not travel but they like living together with their families: “whether or not one eats, what matters is that one is together with family”, and; 2) these new cosmopolitans have an open attitude. This research using a framework of analysis based on proxemics and linked their communication experiences as cosmopolitans after returning to Indonesia as alumni, with several relevant answers based on their nonverbal intercultural communication.
