Abstract

The Post-Bauxite Mining Industry in Tembeling-Tanjung Village is managed by an ex-mining tradition, which is a copyrighted and human work of material objects, beliefs, delusions, events, or institutions inherited from one generation to the next, such as customs, arts, and property. This tradition is experienced by every member of the community as something that survives within a certain time. In this era, many traditions are still preserved in generations from ancestors to children and grandchildren in a society. Among the traditions still carried out and maintained by the people of Laboh Village, Senayang District, is the Pasang Bagan/Kelong tradition. This research aims to find out how the tradition of installing bagan/kelong in Laboh Village, Senayang District, Lingga Regency is carried out. The study uses a qualitative descriptive approach with primary data sources from interviews with informants, including traditional leaders, bagang handlers, and the implementing community, using purposive sampling technique. Data collection techniques include observation, interviews, and documentation. Based on the results, it can be seen how the tradition of installing bagan is carried out, where people who want to set up the bagan must ask the handler of the bagan for water and report it. During the process of setting up the bagan, the spell water that has been requested from the bagan handler must be cast on the old stake or the first stake to be caked. Media such as spell water from the bagan handler is an essential requirement in constructing bagan/kelong.

The concept of value in religion is basic knowledge in the form of teachings that originate from God Almighty. These values include thoughts, beliefs, morals, and everything that is oriented towards how a person is able to implement religious values in life. In this study, the focus is on the Chinese community and how they implement religious values in Sri Tanjung Village, Siantan District, Anambas Regency. The purpose of this study is to describe their practices. Qualitative research methods with a descriptive approach were used for this study. The results of this study found that the Chinese community in Sri Tanjung Village, Siantan District, Anambas Regency implements religious values in their beliefs and practices. Their activities are based on ancestral principles and traits such as metta or love, karuna or affection, mudita or sympathy, and upekha or balanced mind. Moreover, they practice customs and culture that are still guarded from generation to generation, such as Chinese New Year culture, cap go meh, safar bathing, and the application of feng shui knowledge. Although many Chinese people continue to implement religious values, there are some who do not practice these religious practices. It was found that some Chinese people change their religion in order to get married in cases of interfaith marriage.

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to specifically describe the social status of the police profession by studying the meaning that the Batak tribe family associates with the police profession in Sungai Langkai Village, Batam City. The theory used in this study is the theory of Symbolic Interactionism by Herbert Blumer. This theory rests on three premises: a) Humans act based on the meanings that things have for them, b) These meanings come from a person's social interaction with others, and c) These meanings are refined during the process of social interaction. In this study, researchers used qualitative methods with a descriptive approach. Data collection was carried out using observation, interviews, and documentation methods. The technique of determining informants was purposive sampling with informant criteria, namely families and sons who work as police officers in Sungai Langkai Village, Batam City, and the number of informants in this study is 10. The data analysis techniques included data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results of this study show that the meaning of the police profession in Batak families is multi-faceted. Firstly, it is seen as a way of continuing the clan. Secondly, it increases the social status of the police officer in the family. Thirdly, it enhances personal integrity in the family. Fourthly, it provides a source of income/salary. Fifthly, the profession serves as a role model in the family. The meaning of the police profession in the Batak family is rooted in the belief that the son who becomes a police officer will continue the clan and carry the family's good name at family events. This meaning is reflected in the profession chosen by the family members who work as police officers.
