Abstract

Famatörö Töi is a tradition of naming the first child in the Nias community that is passed down from generation to generation and contains cultural, social, and religious values. Previous studies generally discuss the practice of naming from the perspective of customary law, social identity, and social status, but studies on the Famatörö Töi tradition for the first child in the context of social change are still limited. The novelty of this research lies in the analysis of the symbolic meaning, implementation process, and changes in the Famatörö Töi tradition using George Herbert Mead's Symbolic Interactionism theory. This study aims to analyze the meaning, implementation, changes, and functions of the Famatörö Töi tradition in the lives of the Nias community in Botomuzöi District. The results show that Famatörö Töi is interpreted as a symbol of prayer, hope, respect for ancestors, and family identity. Its implementation includes family preparation (Mangowuloi Talifusö), name determination, naming procession, and expression of gratitude. Despite changes due to modernization, education, economic conditions, technological developments, and religion, this tradition remains intact and plays a role in strengthening kinship ties and strengthening the community's socio-religious identity. The method used was descriptive qualitative research, with data collection techniques through observation, interviews, and documentation. Data analysis was conducted using the Miles and Huberman model through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing.

Abstract

The Hombo Batu attraction is a cultural tradition of the Nias people that is still preserved to this day, especially in Bawamataluo Village. This tradition not only serves as a cultural heritage and a symbol of maturity for Nias men, but has also developed into a cultural tourism attraction that has economic value for the local community. This study aims to analyze the existence of the Hombo Batu attraction as a cultural tradition and its role in increasing tourist visits to Bawamataluo Village. The research method used is a qualitative approach with data collection techniques through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. Research informants included traditional leaders, Hombo Batu attraction actors, village tourism managers, and tourists. The results of the study indicate that the existence of the Hombo Batu attraction is still maintained through the inheritance of cultural values from generation to generation and support from the local community. In addition, Hombo Batu has proven to be a major attraction that is able to increase interest in domestic and international tourists. However, the management of this attraction still faces several obstacles, such as limited promotion and tourism support facilities. This study concludes that the Hombo Batu attraction plays a strategic role in the development of cultural tourism in Bawamataluo Village and needs to be supported by sustainable management to maintain its cultural value and economic benefits.
