Abstract

The blacksmiths in Sungai Pinang Village—known to this day as the central village of blacksmithing—play a vital role in preserving the machete as an integral part of the social and cultural fabric of Banjar society. This study aims to analyze the social construction of the machete’s existence and the role of blacksmiths in society.  This study employs a descriptive qualitative approach based on Peter L. Berger’s theory of social construction, utilizing three stages—externalization, objectification, and internalization—as the analytical framework. Data were collected through observation, semi-structured interviews, and documentation. The results of the study indicate that traditional parang-making techniques, the process of skill transmission, and community acceptance shape the cultural identity of the people of Hulu Sungai Selatan. The parang serves not only as a tool but is also present in various traditions, such as manangguhi wasi, marajahi parang, parang gagaman, mamandii parang, and salamatan wasi. The transmission of iron-forging skills is carried out by directly involving prospective blacksmiths in the practice—a strategy designed to ensure that the quality of traditional parangs is maintained and does not disappear. This study contributes to broadening the sociological understanding of the social construction of the blacksmith’s role in creating parangs and shaping Banjar culture. Further research is recommended to explore traditional economic aspects, the development of industries based on local wisdom, and gender issues within the blacksmith community.

Abstract

The phenomenon of beggars in Banjarmasin City reflects a fairly complex social problem. This issue is not only caused by poverty, but also by low levels of education, lack of skills, and a social environment that encourages individuals to make begging part of their daily routines and means of survival. The study aims to explore how individuals begin, experience, and eventually accept the role of a beggar in their everyday lives. This research uses a qualitative approach with a phenomenological method, through data collection in the form of observation, in-depth interviews with beggars and supporting informants, as well as documentation. The data were analyzed using the Manual Data Analysis Procedure (MDAP), involving several stages: field notes, transcription, coding, categorization, theme identification, and memo writing.The findings of this study show that the social construction of beggars in Banjarmasin City is formed through three interconnected processes: (1) externalization, when individuals start begging due to economic hardship and limited life options; (2) objectivation, when the act of begging is seen as normal by society and accepted by the beggars themselves; and (3) internalization, when the role of a beggar becomes part of one’s identity and is lived out naturally. This shows that begging is maintained not only because of economic factors but also due to habitual patterns and social acceptance.Academically, this research serves as a reference for future studies in urban sociology and social pathology. Practically, it encourages the formation of inclusive policies and sustainable empowerment programs for beggars in urban settings.
