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.

Abstract

ABSTRACTThis article examines the coffee agroforestry system in West Java not merely as an environmental conservation strategy, but as an arena of contested power relations. The study aims to analyze power relations in the form of social relations of land and tree production, labor, and capital through a political ecology and actor-oriented framework. Drawing on an ethnographic approach, the research is based on participatory observation and in-depth interviews with farmers, laborers, environmental activists, policymakers, and local capital providers. The findings show that tree ownership functions as a primary claim over space amid tenure insecurity. Relations between formal landowners, cultivators/farmers, and laborers are not only hierarchical but also ambivalent. Farmers deploy everyday forms of resistance and survival strategies such as intercropping vegetables, refusing to pay profit-sharing or rent, ceb-cul arrangements, pruning coffee trees, and killing shade trees. The study concludes that coffee agroforestry is not simply a conservation practice, but a contested socio-political space. It calls for greater recognition of farmers’ rights and more equitable redistribution of power.Keywords: Power Relations; Coffee Agroforestry; Social Relations Of Production; Political Ecology; Ethnographic. ABSTRAKArtikel ini mengkaji sistem agroforestri kopi di Jawa Barat tidak hanya sebagai strategi konservasi lingkungan, tetapi juga sebagai arena kontestasi kekuasaan. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis relasi kuasa dalam bentuk relasi sosial produksi lahan serta pohon, tenaga kerja, dan modal menggunakan kerangka pemikiran ekologi politik dan berorientasi aktor. Pendekatan etnografis penelitian ini didasarkan pada observasi partisipatif dan wawancara mendalam dengan petani, buruh tani, aktivis lingkungan, pemangku kebijakan, dan pemodal lokal. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kepemilikan pohon berfungsi sebagai klaim utama atas ruang di tengah ketidakpastian tenurial lahan. Relasi antara pemilik lahan formal, penggarap, dan buruh bukan hanya bersifat hirarkis, tetapi juga bersifat ambivalen. Petani kecil mengembangkan berbagai bentuk perlawanan sehari-hari dan strategi bertahan hidup seperti tumpangsari sayuran, menolak membayar bagi hasil dan sewa, sistem ceb-cul, pemangkasan pohon kopi, dan mematikan pohon penaung. Studi ini menyimpulkan bahwa agroforestri kopi bukan sekadar praktik konservasi, tetapi ruang sosial-politik yang diperebutkan. Studi ini menyarankan pengakuan yang lebih besar terhadap hak-hak petani kecil dan kebijakan redistribusi kuasa yang adil.Kata kunci: Agroforestri Kopi; Relasi Sosial Produksi; Relasi Kekuasaan; Ekologi Politik; Etnografi
