Abstract

This article explores different types of relationships between widows and their ex-affines and explains the different factors of these relationships among the Sundanese people in rural West Java. The study was conducted by six widows with different experiences of their relationships with their ex-affinal kin using qualitative research methods with a case study approach. For this purpose, in-depth interviews and observational studies were conducted. Based on the results, we conclude that in the context of involuntary endogamous marriages, the relationship between widows and their ex-affinal kin takes the form of (1) friendship, (2) fictive daughter, (3) just another neighbor, (4) hostile neighbor, and (5) total stranger. These results are supported by factors such as (1) past personal relationships between the two people, (2) dependency on old age and social values in elderly care, and (3) the place of origin and residence of ex-husband. The nature of the relationships with ex-affine is not consistent across all categories. Ultimately, the classification of these relationships depends on the widow's specific situation after divorce or the death of her husband.

Abstract

The impact of the construction of the Jatigede dam caused at least 6,856 heads of households in 17 villages as affected people (Orang terkena dampak-OTD) must move to new area. They must develop adaptation strategies to make various efforts to obtain income to maintain their survival in new area. Among the efforts made by OTD of Jatigede, they have utilized drawdown area of Jatigede for cultivating various crops . The objective of the paper is to elucidate the socio-ecological strategy  of OTD of Jatigede who reside in Maleber Hamlet, Wado Village, Sumedang District, in managing drawdown area. The method used in this study was a qualitative method with an ethnoagroecological approach. The results of the study showed that in an effort to adapt the OTD to a new environment, they have managed the drawdown area of Jatigede lake for  cultivating various crops. Generally OTD have successfully managed the drawndown area by cultivating various crops. However, they have still difficulty maintained sustainable cultivating in the drawdown area due to climate changes and drought.

Abstract

Traditional markets are crucial for sustaining plant diversity, local food systems, and cultural heritage. They also function as learning spaces for the diversity and cultural connections of food plants. This study documents the diversity and utilization of plant species traded in a traditional marketplace in West Java’s highland, Indonesia. Data were collected through stall surveys, observations, and semi-structured interviews with 38 traders. A total of 96 species from 31 families were recorded. Fabaceae and Solanaceae were the most represented families (11 species each). Vegetables were the largest category of use (47%); fruits (53%) and leaves (25%) were the most frequently used parts. Most (83%) of the plants sold were exotic, with only 21% being native species. Eight edible wild plant species, including Centella asiatica and Solanum nigrum, remain an essential part of the traditional diet. Women dominate the vegetable trade (64.51%); most vendors reported having 5–20 years of experience. These findings highlight that traditional markets play a crucial role in preserving and serving as learning spaces for plant diversity, local food systems, and cultural heritage.

Abstract

This study examines how local residents living near the former Dutch colonial cinchona plantation in Cikembang Village, West Java maintain collective memories of this history through both physical structures and oral traditions. Through ethnohistorical research method, the investigation reveals that local residents' narratives demonstrate a strong connection to the plantation system, largely resulting from the paternalistic labor control practices in the past. The research concludes that these paternalistic relationships served more complex purposes than simply providing basic needs and imposing moral codes—they were deliberately implemented as a strategic mechanism to secure a consistent and dependable plantation workforce over time.

Abstract

Dewasa ini, pemanfaatan pewarna alami di seluruh dunia mengalami kenaikan atensi di tengah masyarakat lintas dunia. Namun, bagaimana pengetahuan ini tersebar dan dianalisis dalam paradigma teori sosial belum banyak diteliti. Penelitian ini bermaksud mengupas relasi sosial yang terjadi pada difusi inovasi pengetahuan pewarna alami pada sebuah rumah pewarna alami tekstil yakni Batik Jolawe. Metode yang digunakan adalah studi kasus dengan paradigma antropologis. Ditemukan relasi patron – klien yang integratif dan tidak bersifat hierarkik juga komunikasi antara patron – klien yang justru memperkaya eksplorasi pemanfaatan pewarna alami berbasis tumbuhan dan tanaman. Ulasan ini berfungsi untuk menetralkan kembali konsep patron – klien yang berpusat pada nuansa feodalistik untuk diaplikasikan pada hubungan yang bersifat resiprokal.

Abstract

The Dayak Kendawangan Siakaran people of Randai Village possess knowledge of wild food plants, derived from their daily interactions with the environment and from knowledge passed down through generations. This research was conducted with the aim of preserving the local ecological knowledge of the Dayak Kendawangan Siakaran people regarding wild food plants through documentation and recording. Data were obtained through observation, interviews, and free listing.The obtained data was then analyzed using RFC calculations, with the aim of observing and measuring how widely a plant species is known within a community. The results showed 104 species of wild food plants, divided into 42 family groups. Within these family groups, the largest number of wild food plants known to the Dayak Kendawangan Siakaran people is Arecaceae. The most commonly used part is the fruit (50%). Most of the wild plants known to the Dayak Kendawangan Siakaran people originate from forests. However, currently, the amount of forest in Randai Village is starting to decline in its primary function due to deforestation. This poses a threat to the local ecological knowledge of the Dayak Kendawangan Siakaran people regarding wild food plants. Therefore, to maintain their knowledge of wild plants from these threats, the Dayak Kendawangan Siakaran people are using a method of transplanting wild food plants.
