Mount Rokatenda has erupted several times, and brought about impacts on people in Palue Island, Sikka regency, East Nusa Tenggara. Since 1980, various attempts of disaster management through relocation have been carried out by the government, church, and non-governmental organizations. Unfortunately, the efforts to relocate the victims mainly fail because they always return to Palue Island. The threats of Mount Rokatenda and its vulnerability do not seemingly inhibit them to continue their lives there. This is evident in relocation attempt post-eruption in 2012-2013. The question is, how could the social and cultural aspects of Rokatenda victims hinder the relocation program? This ethnographic qualitative research which is done through in-depth interview and observation in April to May 2014 demonstrate that disaster events could also be cultural events. The emic aspect of the victims influence disaster management attempts, especially in the relocation program to the Besar Island. There is a feeling of secure and a sense of security from the ancestors, a view of prosperity for those who stay, and a strong value system that Palue Island is the place of birth, life and death has strongly bound the mythology and cosmology relationship of Palue people with their land. A re-interpretation of emic values through involving local traditional leaders is a strategic step towards the success of Rokatenda relocation program.

Konflik suku dan agama menjadi isu hangat dunia penelitian. Beragam pendekatan digunakan untuk memotret masalah, aktor, dan penyebab yang bisa diuraikan untuk meredam konflik. Sayangnya, banyak penelitian yang hanya menampilkan aspek permukaan, sehingga penyelesaiannya bersifat artifisial dan tidak kontekstual. Aspek kebudayaan dan kebahasaan terkait konflik, dan menjadikannya sebagai modal terpenting dalam penyelesaian konflik kurang dilihat komperehensif. Di sisi lain, bahasa dan budaya daerah hanya dimaknai sebagai khazanah kebudayaan yang berorientasi pengembangan pariwisata saja. Belum ada upaya maksimal dalam mendorong budaya dan bahasa beserta proses hibriditasnya sebagai strategi terpenting mitigasi konflik. Penelitian yang mampu mengungkap nilai dan praktik kebudayaan berbagai kelompok sukubangsa belum banyak menjadi media langkah strategis itu. Pertanyaannya, bagaimana penelitian dan perspektif etnografi dapat berperan dalam upaya peredaman konflik dan affirmasi bagi upaya perlindungan kekayaan budaya daerah? Tulisan ini refleksi berbagai penelitian terkait bahasa dan budaya yang dilakukan LIPI dan lembaga lain. Keterlibatan penulis dalam dunia penelitian etnografi bahasa dan budaya menjadi aspek penting refleksinya. Penelitian ini telah menjelaskan perkembangan dan kecenderungan penelitian kebudayaan di LIPI dan lembaga lain. Selain itu, penelitian etnografi budaya dan bahasa tidak hanya berdampak pada upaya perlindungan kekayaan budaya berbagai sukubangsa, tetapi juga menjadi upaya strategis dalam peredaman konflik dan peneguhan kebangsaan. Tribal and religious conflicts are becoming a hot issue of the research world. Various approaches are used to describe problems, actors, and causes that can be deciphered to quell conflicts. Unfortunately, many studies show only surface aspects, so the solution is artificial and non-contextual. The cultural and linguistic aspects of the conflict, the most important capital in conflict resolution, are less than comprehensive. On the other hand, the local language and culture is only interpreted as a cultural treasure for tourism development only. There has been no maximum effort in encouraging culture and language along with its hybridity process as the most important strategy of conflict mitigation. Research which able to reveal the values and cultural practices of various ethnic groups has not been a major medium for the strategic paradigm. The question is, how can ethnographic research and perspectives play a role in the efforts to conflicts mitigation and affirmations for the protection of local cultural wealth? This paper reflects the various researches related to language and culture conducted by LIPI and other institutions. The involvement of writers in the world of ethnographic research of language and culture becomes an important aspect of his reflection. This writing explained the development and tendency of cultural research in LIPI and other institutions. In addition, cultural and linguistic ethnographic research viewed not only affects the protection of cultural wealth of various ethnic groups, but also a strategic effort in the reduction of conflict and affirmation of nationality.

The Tau Taa Vana people live in the Bulang Highlands, Tojo Una-Una, in Central Sulawesi Province. The region's development has shaped the marginalization of forest-dwelling and forest-adjacent communities. From the 1980s to the 1990s, illegal logging networks served as the power holders, backed by Indonesia’s authoritarian regime of that time. Illegal logging destroyed a large part of the Tau Taa Vana's sacred forest (pengale kapali). As part of the massive logging agenda, the government launched many legal programs that further isolated the Tau Taa Vana people from their land. The first program was transmigration in 1995-1998, which converted sacred forests into plantation areas and worker camps. Meanwhile, the Tau Taa Vana people were forced to relocate from their forest livelihoods (pengale lipu). In 2014, development shifted towards government-supported gold and nickel extraction identified in the Tau Taa Vana people's traditional regions. The government's planned material extraction of the region has forced the Tau Taa Vana people to adapt traditional environmental management systems. In the past, the forest had three main functions, as the source of food, medicine, and livelihoods. Nowadays, those functions are reduced drastically and the sacred forest with the Kaju Marangka'a region as the center has lost its cultural importance. Tau Taa Vana people today use the remaining forests as the center of their resistance movements and consider it as their last bastion for cultural preservation. In this regard, the role of traditional healers (tau valia) has become even more critical amidst the lack of traditional elders.

Medicinal plants’ production systems in Indonesia’s rural Java play a crucial role in sustaining local livelihoods and healthcare needs. Medicinal plants are managed by locals independently based on household preferences and endowments through wild gathering and cultivation-based production systems. However, these situations create a continual problem of weak bargaining positions. Thus, this study aimed to assess local needs and potential in supporting medicinal plants production systems management in Java, Indonesia, with the view to advance local actors' perspectives in a multistakeholder platform. The Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) approach proved useful in incorporating local knowledge in the planning and development of strategies. We implemented PRA techniques, such as problem identification based on a cause-and-effect diagram, group discussion and brainstorming, preference ranking of priority species, and a Venn diagram based on stakeholders' classification. These were carried out with 150 local actors from four villages. Results reveal that Candlenut tree are the preferred species in the wild gathering system, while Javanese turmeric and Broadleaf plantain are preferred in the cultivation-based production systems. Urgent interests include more lucrative gathering and cultivation, a remunerative market, and a reliable local economic institution. The PRA results demonstrate that local actors' involvement is highly required in administering production systems to enhance medicinal plants’ sustainable production and management.
