Abstract

This research aims to uncover the symbolic meaning and social function of the Gama' traditional wedding ritual of the Mongondow tribe. The Gama' tradition is the final stage of a series of wedding rituals that must be performed, encompassing 13 stages rich in symbolism and cultural values. This study uses a qualitative approach with ethnographic methods to gain an in-depth understanding of this ritual through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and literature review. The main informants consist of the head of the cultural heritage institution, traditional elders, and community members involved in the execution of the traditional ceremony. The results show that each stage in the Gama' tradition has symbolic meaning reflecting the ancestral, religious, moral, social, and ethical values of the Mongondow community. The study also found that despite the influence of modernization causing changes in the ritual's execution, the essence and symbolic meaning of the Gama' tradition are maintained. Gama' plays a crucial role in strengthening the cultural identity and social bonds of the Mongondow community, providing guidance for the younger generation in understanding and preserving their cultural heritage.

Abstract

The phenomenon of contract marriages often found in Cipanas Village, Bogor is interesting because it is one of the ways chosen by people to quickly improve their welfare. It’s considered to have an impact on welfare improvement and poverty alleviation in rural communities. Therefore, this study aims to describe how the dynamics of contract marriages based on transactional communication can provide a sense of what is welfare for the people of Cipanas Village. This study applies a qualitative approach supported by the use of the phenomenological method. Data collection was carried out using semi-structured interviews and observations carried out in the field. Data validity is carried out through internal validity and as a measuring tool by checking the consistency of answers given through the same question to ther informants. The results of this study indicate that transactional communication becomes a tool in the verbal negotiation process until an agreement is formed between the parties involved in the practice of contract marriages. This agreement on exchange values that has been approved is considered a safety valve in the economic dimension, especially in creating improvements in people's living standards. The society views the practice of contract marriages as legal and not in violation of religious regulations. The contribution of this research is expected to be a reference for the government and further researchers who will be conducting further studies related to the phenomenon of contract marriages.

Abstract

The low level of community participation in development activities has driven the Pamalar congregation of the Christian Church of Sumba (GKS) in Central Sumba Regency to play an active role in mobilizing local residents. As a regency with a predominantly Christian population, the church holds a central and strategic position in the community. GKS Pamalar is required to establish strong relationships with the community and adapt to cultural identities to develop approaches based on local wisdom that can encourage community participation in development initiatives. This study aims to analyze the strategies implemented by GKS Pamalar to foster community participation in development activities. To examine this issue, the study employs several key concepts, including strategy, local wisdom, participation, and community development. A qualitative approach with a case study method is used to explore how GKS Pamalar carries out its strategies to build community participation in the development process. The findings indicate that community development programs must be oriented towards the interests and needs of the local population. The success of these programs is also attributed to the active role of the church and its leaders in creating programs related to the main sources of community livelihoods. Furthermore, church leaders often serve as a bridge between the village government and the people of Pamalar. The compatibility of the church leaders’ leadership style in this study is also reflected in their strategies of engagement, recognizing, and directly encouraging participation, which builds a sense of trust — a crucial social capital for driving community development.   Keywords: Church Leadership, Community Participation, Community Development, Local Wisdom

Abstract

Singkawang, known as the “Hong Kong of Borneo,” is one of the most tolerant cities in Indonesia, where the Chinese ethnic group, with its distinctive cultural values, is the dominant cultural group in the city. With a population originating from diverse cultural backgrounds, interactions through inter-ethnic marriages, especially between Chinese, Dayak, and Malay ethnic groups, produce various dynamics of acculturation. This study aims to analyze the communication dynamics of cultural value acculturation in inter-ethnic marriages involving Chinese, Dayak, or Malay (Tidayu) ethnic groups in Singkawang. Using a phenomenological approach, this study explores the experiences of married Tidayu couples to understand how cultural differences are harmonized, shared identities are built, and family and social traditions are integrated. Data were obtained through interviews, observations, and literature review. The results of the study show that through inter-ethnic marriages Tidayu, Singkawang society has developed to be more inclusive by accepting each other. In the established dynamics of communication, it is important to maintain customs as part of efforts to adapt and acculturate culture. Communication dynamics cannot be separated from the worldview of the individuals involved. The results of this study are expected to have practical benefits in strengthening unity in the multicultural landscape of Singkawang, especially when facing the challenges of ethnic diversity.

Abstract

The Caci Dance culture from East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia, is a cultural performing art and is basically a form of war dance performed by the younger generation based on the principles of brotherhood and mutual respect as a form of gratitude. The purpose of this research is to analyse how the Caci Dance as a form of art-based communication instils the meaning of collective cultural values for the Manggarai people in Flores. This research uses a qualitative approach and ethnographic methods. Primary data was obtained through in-depth semi-structured interviews with several stakeholders such as traditional village heads, religious leaders and the government. The findings from this study are that Caci dance as a performance art also has an entertainment function in addition to conveying social messages. In the Caci Dance, the message to be conveyed, apart from providing entertainment through dance and musical performances, is also related to moral encouragement to pay more attention to sustainable efforts in preserving the Earth we inhabit. On the other hand, the Caci Dance depicts the cultural values of collectivity held by the Manggarai community which can also describe the characteristics of the community. The collective values believed by the Manggarai community as their characteristics are the values of unity and mutual respect which are also seen from the process of involvement as an effort to preserve the Caci Dance.

Abstract

Pesantrens (Islamic boarding schools) have followed changes in the society and experienced modernization. This is demonstrated by the emergence of pesantrens in Indonesia that are moved to link education based on Islamic values with environmental issues. This research intends to discuss the role of pesantren as religious institutions as well as education in building awareness of the environment. The approach used in this research is qualitative with the phenomenological method. Data in this research were obtained through semi-structured interviews and field observations which were then analyzed through coding. The results of this research show that there is a strong connection between verses in the Koran and environmental conservation. Apart from that, pesantren leader has an important role in formulating the basic values that become the organizational culture. Communication built between pesantren owner, teachers and students is fundamental in socializing organizational values. The process of conveying messages carried out by the Misykat Al-Anwar Pesantren to its students is carried out through several stages, namely anticipatory socialization, encounter socialization, and metamorphosis socialization. These stages also show that the socialization process carried out at the Misykat Al-Anwar Pesantren regarding the integration of Islamic values in building awareness of the environment is highly useful.
