Abstract

Stunting, sebagai permasalahan kurang gizi kronis, telah menjadi tantangan serius kesehatan anak di berbagai wilayah, termasuk di Negeri Aboru, Maluku. Dengan tingkat stunting mencapai 27 persen dari total populasi anak di Maluku pada tahun 2022, langkah proaktif diperlukan untuk merubah paradigma masyarakat terkait kondisi ini. Artikel ini menggambarkan kegiatan Pengabdian Kepada Masyarakat yang bertujuan mengubah paradigma kesehatan melalui sosialisasi pencegahan stunting di Negeri Aboru, Maluku. Metode kegiatan ini mencakup perencanaan, pelaksanaan, dan pelaporan tindak lanjut secara sistematis. Dalam upaya untuk merubah paradigma masyarakat, kegiatan pengabdian menghasilkan media edukasi berupa leaflet yang bertujuan memberikan pemahaman mendalam tentang stunting dan dampaknya pada pertumbuhan anak. Selain itu, sosialisasi langsung dilakukan kepada para orang tua dan pendamping posyandu di Negeri Aboru, memberikan pengetahuan yang lebih luas mengenai stunting dan upaya pencegahannya. Hasil dari kegiatan ini mencakup perubahan paradigma masyarakat terhadap stunting, ditunjukkan oleh peningkatan pemahaman dan kesadaran. Media edukasi berupa leaflet menjadi sarana efektif untuk menyampaikan informasi mengenai stunting secara mudah dipahami oleh masyarakat. Sosialisasi yang dilakukan kepada orang tua dan pendamping posyandu turut memberikan kontribusi positif dalam pemantauan pertumbuhan anak, memastikan mereka memenuhi standar pertumbuhan yang sehat

Abstract

This study aims to explore the concept of Kai-Wait as social capital in strengthening interfaith solidarity in the Maluku indigenous community, especially in Petuanan Leisela, Buru Island. Kai-Wait, a kinship system that integrates indigenous and immigrant residents, functions as a social mechanism that fosters trust, respect, and cooperation amidst religious diversity. With a qualitative approach through ethnographic studies, this study was conducted through participatory observation and in-depth interviews with indigenous leaders and members of the Buru indigenous community. The results of the study revealed that Kai-Wait not only strengthens social networks and customary norms, but also functions as a symbol of inclusive solidarity, able to embrace differences in religious and cultural identities. This tradition instills moral values ?? such as mutual respect, cooperation, and shared responsibility, which are continuously passed down to the younger generation. In addition, Kai-Wait shows its relevance as a local wisdom strategy in facing modern challenges, such as social polarization and identity conflicts, as well as being a bridge for social reconciliation. The novelty of this study lies in the identification of Kai-Wait as a form of pluralistic and inclusive social capital, different from other traditions in Maluku, such as Pela-Gandong, which tend to be limited to communities bound by customary oaths. This finding provides a significant contribution to the study of local wisdom, interfaith social solidarity, and social reconciliation. This study recommends the preservation of Kai-Wait values through formal and non-formal education, as well as the adaptation of this tradition to promote social harmony in diverse communities.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze sasi pala as a form of social ecology that contributes to preserving natural resources while strengthening community resilience. Sasi pala, a customary practice in Maluku, regulates nutmeg harvesting to ensure sustainability, maintain ecological balance, and reinforce social cohesion within the community. This research employs in-depth interviews, participant observation, and document analysis using a qualitative approach. The study focuses on the Negeri Seith community, with data analyzed through environmental sociology and community resilience. Findings reveal that sasi pala is a conservation mechanism and a social contract that strengthens local governance and collective responsibility. It prevents overexploitation, facilitates intergenerational knowledge transfer, and ensures economic sustainability through continuous nutmeg production. However, this study is limited to sasi pala communities in Maluku, making its findings less generalizable to other ecological and socio-cultural contexts. Further research should explore sasi practices across different commodities and regions to broaden the understanding of sustainability rooted in indigenous wisdom. This research contributes to environmental sociology, indigenous resource management, and sustainable development discussions. Its insights can inform policymakers and scholars on integrating customary practices into modern conservation strategies. Unlike previous studies focusing primarily on conservation, this study highlights sasi pala as a dynamic socio-ecological institution that not only preserves biodiversity but also strengthens the social resilience of the communities that uphold it.
