Abstract

The relationship between humans and the environment has become a central focus in both social and ecological research, particularly among communities reliant on natural resources. This study examines the Sedekah Laut (Sea Alms) tradition practiced in Rowo Village, Kebumen Regency, as a cultural adaptation mechanism to address environmental uncertainty. The primary objective is to understand how this ritual reflects the community’s response to unpredictable natural conditions. Employing a qualitative approach grounded in Actor-Network Theory (ANT), the research explores the interactions between human and non-human actors involved in the tradition, including the sea, ritual objects, community leaders, and local beliefs. Data were collected through field observations, in-depth interviews, and document analysis. Findings reveal that Sedekah Laut is not only a symbolic expression of gratitude and spiritual reverence toward the sea but also serves as a practical strategy to reinforce communal bonds and manage uncertainty in a changing environment. The sea is perceived as both a provider and a sacred entity, deserving of respect and offerings. Through collective participation in the ritual, the community cultivates a shared sense of resilience, interdependence, and social solidarity. In conclusion, the Sedekah Laut tradition illustrates how local knowledge and cultural practices can function as adaptive strategies in the face of environmental challenges, offering insights into the dynamic relationship between society and nature as conceptualized through Actor Network Theory.

The changes that have occurred due to the pandemic have resulted in returning migrants to create and implement strategies in the social, economic, and cultural fields to sustain life. The purpose of this study is to explain how the social, cultural, and economic strategies of post-migrants in society during the pandemic era. Social Action Theory, Community Risk Theory, and Social Capital Theory are used as tools to strengthen the analysis. The method used is qualitative with a case study approach to the social, cultural, and economic strategies of returning migrant workers in a community during the pandemic and then conducting in-depth interviews with four informants of returning migrant workers. The results showed that when they first became retired migrants, they were at risk due to the pandemic (dismissed, repatriated, and unpaid). To meet the needs of life, they make a strategy in the social, cultural, and economic fields which is the right choice and the capital owned by post-migrants can be developed, both socially, culturally, and economically. An interesting finding in this study is that after returning migrants who have implemented the strategy, they still experience risks in this field according to the risk society theory. Keywords: Social Strategy, Economic Strategy, Cultural Strategy, Retired Migrant Workers.
