Abstract

This research aims to analyze the knowledge system of women from the Enggros tribe regarding mangrove forests and their utilization patterns. Descriptive qualitative research employs an ethnographic approach. We conducted the research in both Tobati village and Enggros village. Data collection techniques used include in-depth interviews, observations, and literature reviews. We determined the informants through a snowball method, selecting the village head as the primary informant. Interview guidelines, picture and sound recording devices, and field notebooks were among the instruments used. Data analysis techniques included data reduction, presentation, verification, and conclusion drawing. The results demonstrated that the women's knowledge system of the Kampung Enggros Mangrove Forest encompasses their understanding of the mangrove forests. This includes their understanding of when to search for shellfish before entering the mangrove forest area (ton), how to search for shellfish about the prohibition on men entering the mangrove forest area (ton), and their understanding of the results obtained from the mangrove forest area (ton). Additionally, the women of Enggros Village uphold deeply ingrained traditional values in their customs, ensuring their continued adherence to the customs and traditions that endure to this day. Next, they follow the tradition of using mangrove forests (ton) as a means of subsistence and a venue for storytelling.

Abstract

This study uniquely examines the role of indigenous communities in turtle conservation in Skouw Yambe Village, Jayapura City, Papua, by employing a descriptive qualitative approach. Unlike previous research, this study provides an in-depth analysis of local community conservation practices specifically focused on four turtle species: green turtle (Chelonia Mydas), hawksbill turtle (Eretmochelys Imbricata), loggerhead turtle (Caretta Caretta), and leatherback turtle (Dermochelys Coriacea).  Unlike previous research that predominantly offered superficial, descriptive accounts of conservation activities, this study delves deep into the complex socio-ecological mechanisms that underpin community-driven environmental preservation. By applying qualitative approach, this study utilizes an integrated methodology of in-depth interviews and participatory observation. A total of nine informants were purposefully selected for this study, representing diverse perspectives within the indigenous community of Skouw Yambe Village. The study reveals a systematic traditional knowledge system for species identification and conservation practices, demonstrating how indigenous communities in Skouw Yambe Village effectively use intergenerational ecological knowledge to protect and manage local turtle populations The conservation process encompasses three critical stages: egg collection, incubation, and hatchling release, occurring between January and May each year. It demonstrates that turtle conservation in this location transcends mere species preservation, representing a manifestation of cultural values and environmental ethics. The community-based conservation model harmoniously synthesizes traditional ecological wisdom with modern conservation methodologies. The approach aims to prevent species extinction, protect coastal habitats, strengthen social cohesion, and empower local communities. The conservation initiative is supported by three fundamental components: high community awareness and participation, synergistic collaboration with government and non-governmental agencies, and conducive natural habitat conditions. Despite challenges such as plastic pollution and coastal erosion, the Skouw Yambe indigenous community has developed an adaptive conservation strategy. The study concludes by emphasizing the urgent need to recognize and support indigenous communities as ecosystem guardians, highlighting the potential of this community-based conservation model as a comprehensive reference for similar programs, while acknowledging the unique socio-ecological characteristics of each region.

Abstract

The alawiyyin group or groups that claim to be descendants of the Prophet Muhammad SAW. have differences of opinion regarding the exclusivity of their status. Their status in the surrounding community has become a special privilege for their group. An organization that wants legitimacy for the alawiyyin group is trying to trace the descendants of the alawiyyin group to remote villages, starting in the 19th century. It makes the rabithah alawiyah organization or the unity of the alawiyyin group experience difficulties in legitimizing the alawiyyin groups in the area. This research analyzes the causes of exclusivity and legitimacy in the status legitimation process, especially between rabithah alawiyah and alawiyyin groups in rural areas. Ethnography is an appropriate method for analyzing and analyzing active observation data in this research. Some data and informants in in-depth interviews that had the nuance of friendly conversation because the researcher himself was an alawiyyin who could carry out in-depth analysis in this research. The results of this research found that most of the alawiyyin groups in rural areas did not want their status to be made public, was even an informant's grandfather who hid their written genealogy to avoid the arrogance that would occur to his children and grandchildren when they legitimized their status. As a finding from this research, rabithah alawiyah as an institution that legitimizes the status of alwiyyin groups nationally and internationally, digitalization of nasab needs to be digitalized, so that those in rural areas or alawiyyin groups in remote parts of Indonesia can register their nasab or clan at this institution Rabitha Alawiyah.

Abstract

The diversity of Indonesian culinary flavors has become a distinct identity for the region, this local culinary food can be easily found from Sabang to Merauke. This community service activity aims to empower and pass on the skills of managing local culinary arts, namely Steamed Banana Sago (Em Nime Ouw), to the Ayapo community, especially the younger generation. The problem faced is the declining interest of the younger generation in preserving traditional culinary due to the dominance of instant foods and the flow of modernization. The method used in this activity is Participatory Action Research (PAR), with live demonstrations by traditional leaders and elderly women who are still actively involved in making traditional culinary. This activity is carried out in a participatory manner, involving local youth in the entire production process, from selecting ingredients (red sago flour, ripe bananas, coconut water), mixing, wrapping with farofe leaves, to steaming in a traditional stove. The results of the activity show that the demonstrative approach successfully increases practical understanding and cultural awareness among the younger generation, while fostering pride in local culinary identity. In addition, strengthening cultural values through culinary media opens up new economic opportunities based on sustainable local gastronomic tourism.

Abstract

he use of digital media for cultural documentation is an increasingly relevant strategy in the digital era, particularly in the context of indigenous communities with vulnerable oral and non-material cultural heritage. This community service activity aims to increase the capacity of the Sentani Traditional School community to document cultural heritage through digital media. Facing the challenges of low digital literacy and the risk of losing oral culture, this program was designed based on community participation and an anthropological approach. The service method consisted of outreach, technical training, and mentoring in the use of simple digital devices such as cameras and mobile phones to document local dances, music, and cultural narratives. The results of the activity demonstrated an increase in participants' understanding and skills in creating digital documentation based on local values. An internal cultural documentation team was also formed to support the program's sustainability. This initiative demonstrates that cultural preservation can be carried out adaptively through the synergy of technology, local wisdom, and cross-sector collaboration.

Abstract

This community service initiative was motivated by the low capacity of residents to identify, plan, and implement solutions to their social environmental problems, particularly in the context of improving the quality of education and community empowerment. The objective of this activity was to strengthen the community's ability to conduct needs analysis, formulate action programs, and build sustainable collaboration between residents, schools, and local stakeholders. The method used was Participatory Action Research (PAR), which involves a reflection-action-evaluation cycle through focus group discussions, participant observation, local asset mapping, and collaborative workshops. The results of the community service demonstrated a significant increase in community engagement, the emergence of local initiatives based on real needs, and the formation of a more focused and sustainable joint action plan. Furthermore, the strengthened community capacity was evident in their ability to identify problems, develop solution strategies, and conduct independent evaluations of their activities. In conclusion, the PAR approach was effective in promoting community empowerment and independence. The main contribution of this service lies in its replicable collaborative model, strengthening social networks, and improving the quality of participatory program planning.

Abstract

Program Makan Bergizi Gratis (MBG) has emerged as one of the most ambitious social policies in contemporary Indonesia, attracting widespread public attention due to its scale, fiscal implications, and expected contribution to human capital development. This study examines the controversy surrounding Program Makan Bergizi Gratis (MBG) in Indonesia, focusing on its potential effectiveness and governance challenges. Using a literature review approach, this study synthesizes academic articles, policy reports, and previous studies on school feeding, child nutrition, educational outcomes, and public policy implementation. The findings show that MBG has the potential to improve children’s dietary intake, reduce short-term hunger, increase school attendance, and support learning participation. However, its effectiveness depends on governance quality, including procurement transparency, food safety, budget accountability, institutional coordination, monitoring systems, and local implementation capacity. This study concludes that MBG should be understood as an integrated human development policy rather than a simple food distribution program. Strong governance is essential to ensure that the program produces equitable, sustainable, and measurable benefits for Indonesian children.

Abstract

The leadership and social structure of the Sentani people in Ayapo Village, Jayapura Regency, revolve around the central authority of the Ondofolo to maintain community equilibrium. This study aims to investigate the role and automatic justice authority of the Ondofolo in protecting a fair legal process based on the customary principle of Mang Mam Mam. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, data were gathered through participant observation, in-depth interviews with traditional figures, and literature documentation, which were subsequently analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña. The results reveal that the Ondofolo possesses extensive automatic authority encompassing religious, economic, social, security, and judicial domains within the Yo (village). In executing his judicial functions, the Ondofolo applies a restorative justice approach that prioritizes deliberation, collective moral order, and the restoration of communal harmony over formal punitive sanctions. This process is structurally supported by a hereditary functional hierarchy consisting of Aphu Affa, Kottelo, Akhona, and Uffoi. This study concludes that the Mang Mam Mam-based customary justice system administered by the Ondofolo provides a highly resilient, adaptive, and substantively fair legal mechanism deeply rooted in local cultural values, offering a vital model for legal pluralism in Indonesia.
