Abstract

This ethnographic study examines how altruism, institutionalized through indigenous wisdom systems, enhances community resilience in four Merapi slope villages. Through interviews with 28 key informants (traditional leaders, religious figures, disaster survivors, and volunteers), focus group discussions, and participant observation, data were analyzed using thematic analysis. Results reveal that gotong royong (mutual cooperation) emerged as the dominant resilience mechanism, mentioned by 96.4% of participants, with 82.1% identifying it as the primary factor. However, effectiveness requires integration with leadership structures (89.3% mentioned as critical), resource accessibility (85.7%), and institutional support (71.4%). Cultural values gotong royong and tepo seliro(empathetic consideration) serve as foundations for social bonding that facilitate post-disaster recovery. Traditional ecological knowledge, comprising 23 environmental indicators, showed 67% correlation with seismographic data and provided 18–36 hour early warning advantages over official evacuation notices. Yet systematic challenges constrain cooperation effectiveness: internal conflicts (28.6% of cases), resource limitations (64.3%), and bureaucratic coordination delays (averaging 2.3 days). Villages with strong cooperation but weak institutional linkages experienced 6-hour evacuation delays and 40% higher resource consumption compared to integrated systems. The study concludes that altruism-based resilience operates through multi-factorial mechanisms rather than cooperation alone. Practical recommendations include integrating traditional early warning systems into village disaster policies through hybrid monitoring protocols, establishing community liaison roles, and implementing leadership training programs combining cultural values with modern coordination mechanisms.

Abstract

Kidney function damage in adolescents can be influenced by lifestyle behaviors and family risk factors. However, limited studies in Indonesia assessed the risk factor of kidney injury among adolescents. Therefore, this study aims to describe the lifestyles that potentially trigger early kidney function damage among junior high school students. The research employed a descriptive observational design with a quantitative approach. The sample consisted of 60 students selected using a purposive sampling technique. Data were collected via questionnaires covering eating and drinking patterns, physical activity, smoking habits, family medical history, and mild symptoms of kidney disorders, which were then analyzed using descriptive statistics.  The results showed that while most respondents were in the "good" category overall, several risk factors were still identified. Specifically, 51.7% of respondents did not meet daily water intake requirements, and 56.7% frequently consumed salty foods. Physical activity was dominated by low to moderate categories, with 55.0% not exercising routinely and 71.7% failing to meet the minimum physical activity requirement of 150 minutes per week. The majority of respondents were non-smokers, though a small percentage engaged in light smoking. A family history of hypertension was found in 46.7% of respondents, and diabetes in 13.3%. Furthermore, some respondents reported mild symptoms such as changes in urination, itching, fatigue, and concentration difficulties. The study concludes that there is a combination of unhealthy lifestyle behaviors, family risk factors, and early symptoms that potentially trigger kidney function disorders in adolescents. Therefore, promotive and preventive efforts through health education and the cultivation of healthy living habits starting from school age are necessary to preserve kidney function in the future.
