Abstract

Indigenous peoples are groups of people who live with traditional values and norms as guidelines in their daily life. The system of tools and equipment for life is still simple, kinship is still very close, religion and art form a complete unity in building harmony with nature, It turns out that being faced with a phenomenon of modernity that was born as a conqueror with its supporting tools such as the capitalist economy, industrialization, exploitation of natural resources, supervision of the dominant group, rationalization of values and secularization have moved quickly to attack and dominate the Raja Ampat indigenous peoples. This study aimed to explore the conditions, forms and impacts of modernity power in the Raja Ampat traditional community. Furthermore, the research employed a qualitative case study method with an ethnographic approach in Waisai, Raja Ampat Regency. The technique of determining informants was carried out purposively by collecting primary data and secondary data. The research data collected were analyzed using data reduction techniques, data presentation and drawing conclusions. The data presentation was done in a descriptive qualitative manner with scientific variety language. The results show cultural heterogenization forms including an existing capitalist economy with several employment opportunities, industrialization in fisheries and tourism, massive natural resource exploitation, supervision of dominant groups like the Raja Ampat bureaucracy, values rationalization and secularism without territorial and customary boundaries. However, this is also problematic because the products of modernity mediate life demands to move quickly, precisely, effectively and efficiently.

Abstract

Masyarakat Adat Raja Ampat merupakan masyarakat nelayan yang mempraktekkan salah satu tradisinya yaitu Sasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Raja Ampat menjadi kawasan konservasi perairan terluas di Indonesia dengan sistem zonasi namun tidak menyelesaikan persoalan kerusakan ekosistem perairan karena masih terjadi aktivitas penangkapan yang merusak terumbu karang. Dalih ekonomi, dan sistem zonasi yang diterapkan oleh pemerintah dan LSM konservasi di perairan merupakan produk luar/modern menjadi salah satu alasan masyarakat untuk tidak taat dan sering melakukan pelanggaran-pelanggaran pada zonasi tersebut. Maka, kegiatan Sasi dibangkitkan kembali dan digunakan untuk mendukung upaya konservasi zonasi perairan yang berbasis kepada masyarakat adat dengan peran tokoh adat dan agama dalam ritual sehingga pelanggaran dan kerusakan terumbu karang tidak terjadi.

Abstract

This article aims to reveal why and how the resistance of Kawe local people to the managment of marine nature reserve area (SAP) in Raja Ampat. This study uses qualitative method with ethnography approach. The results of the study shows that the reasons for the resistance to the power carried out in the management of natural marine reserves area (SAP) is due to feeling of the local people in which they do not receive any benefits from the marine conservation. The underlying reason is economic, educational, and the lack of local employment factors that led to the rejection or resistence. The resistance is mobilized by the local community of Kawe by way of rejection, and in the collaboration with the fishermen from outside of Raja Ampat enganging fishing and destructive activities in areas that have been prohibited by the applicable laws and regulations.

Abstract

This article aims to reveal the genealogy of the International Conservation NGO towards the establishment of the Ambel-Ma'ya tribal conservation area so that the Ma'yalibit Bay conservation area in Raja Ampat is formed as well as a departure station for the establishment of other conservation areas in Raja Ampat. The research approach uses a Cultural Studies approach with descriptive qualitative research methods and slices of theory used, namely, the genealogy of practice and power from Michel Foucault.The results showed that before international conservation NGOs operated in Raja Ampat, they recruited actors and agents who were recruited from intellectuals of the Ma'ya indigenous peoples' institutions and religious and traditional leaders. Conservation NGOs act as captains as well as organic intellectuals and traditional intellectuals for the Ambel-Ma'ya tribe in the Ma'yalibit Bay of Raja Ampat acting as sea commanders in the boat of conservation ideology. Conservation NGOs are hiding behind the discourse of knowledge about high marine tropical biodiversity and the threat of its degradation as a result of the fishing behavior of fishermen who are not environmentally friendly, becoming the basis for discourse on knowledge, articulation and practice of language texts and capital of power to carry out discursive practices in the formation of conservation areas on tribal waters stage.
