Abstract

This paper aims to discuss the coping mechanisms of a community in dealing with risks and uncertainties in new situations that have never been part of their local knowledge. The problem is focused on how the subject (farmer) formulates risk and uncertainty, and shows their coping mechanisms to deal with the complexity of the problem. The cultural approach is an important reference for understanding the empirical phenomenon being studied, combined with the concept of dynamic local knowledge and the concept of risk. Data were collected through fieldwork using an emic view approach with observation-participation techniques as well as in-depth interviews and qualitative data analysis processes. This study concludes that farmers have a risk conception which they call “try it out” on 4 sources of risk (air, pest, price, volcanic ash of Mount Sinabung) and develop coping mechanisms through variations in cropping patterns, even the type of 'gambling' as an opportunity for the complexity of the risks that occur. The risk symbols are also classified into 2 types of distribution; individual and communal. The ability to cope with each type proves the innovative capacity of the subjects, which is related to the dynamics of knowledge and the learning process in their community.

Abstract

This paper examines the health culture system of a community with a focus on the knowledge construction process in traditional medicinal practices called massage healers. The villagers still choose traditional practices as the main or alternative treatment in dealing with their illness with various explanations. This explanation is also related to the side effects of chemicals and the relatively high cost of modern medical treatment. The primary methods for collecting data for this study were qualitative, including participant observation, in-depth interviews with key informants, and four months of fieldwork. A holistic analysis is carried out on all field data to unravel the knowledge construction on the research subject. The findings of this study showed that the knowledge construction process within traditional massage healers persists throughout their clinical experience and is related to cosmology, and accumulates over time and from one patient to the next. The method of acquiring knowledge also varies; through stories from other people in the village or pharmacists, experiences in treating patients, dreams, and whispers from ancestors, villagers, relatives, and other healers. Experience and information from all sources of knowledge provide feedback on the enrichment of existing knowledge, techniques, and better healing strategies for patients.

Abstract

Kesehatan mental dan kekerasan berbasis gender menjadi tantangan serius bagi perempuan di komunitas pertanian karena keterbatasan akses terhadap informasi, layanan kesehatan mental, perlindungan hukum, stigma dan budaya patriarki. Situasi itu diperburuk dengan tekanan ekonomi akibat iklim ekstrim. Pengabdian masyarakat ini bertujuan meningkatkan literasi kesehatan mental serta upaya preventif kekerasan terhadap perempuan di Kelompok Tani Wanita Anggrek melalui participatory co-design approach; penyuluhan, diskusi kelompok terfokus, kolaborasi dengan instansi terkait dan akademisi. Program ini berhasil mendorong peningkatan pemahaman terkait kesehatan mental, kekerasan terhadap perempuan, semangat partisipatif menjadi agen perubahan dengan slogan women support women, dan terbangunnya ruang pengetahuan baru terkait regulasi nasional. Melalui sesi berbagi pengalaman dan pemutaran video, kegiatan ini memperkuat ketahanan perempuan menghadapi ragam kerentanannya. Kontribusi pengabdian ini terhadap SDGs 3, 5, dan 10 tercermin dalam penguatan kapasitas perempuan dan rekomendasi pengembangan edukasi berbasis komunitas sebagai strategi berkelanjutan bagi penciptaan lingkungan sosial yang ‘sehat’ dan inklusif bagi perempuan

Abstract

This article aims to explain the conservation mechanisms of a community to protect village forests; and how actors can create communities that maintain the value of forests as spaces for life's needs. This article focuses on ethnobotanical knowledge (especially medicines), transmission, healing practices, and forest protection mechanisms. The relationship between these four things is a story of sustainable conservation, both in-situ and ex-situ. This mechanism turns out to be related to mythology, sacredness, and sacred areas. This phenomenon was found in Karonese, Daulu Village, North Sumatra, Indonesia. The cognitive anthropology approach with the concept of culture in mind becomes an important tool for analyzing how knowledge is constructed and transmitted. Ethnographic research methods with an emic approach, participant observation, in-depth interviews with key informants, and completeness of filed notes are one way to capture the native point of view. Data analysis was carried out qualitatively through ongoing analysis. The conclusion of the study found that the capacity of actors, especially healers, and the transmission of ethnobotanical knowledge, especially medicines, and the survival of mythological stories and values about sacred areas have consequences for the sustainability of conservation of what they call the kerangen kuta or village forest.

Abstract

This article explores how community-based health service posts in Indonesia for ageing individuals – called Posyandu Lansia – become an arena for health care, and how local sociocultural practices shape their self-understanding of ageing. The study employed a qualitative ethnographic approach, with data collection techniques including participant observation, in-depth interviews with ageing individuals at the Posyandu and in their homes, and field documentation. Data analysis was ongoing throughout the research, including visits to the homes of ageing individuals, triangulation, and analysis of sociocultural issues from field notes. The results indicate that Posyandu Lansia is understood emically by ageing individuals not only as a place for routine health services, but also as a space for social interaction, sharing experiences, motivating one another, receiving emotional support, and affirming self-worth. In this context, Posyandu becomes a space for social relations for them. These situational and contextual conditions confirm the research findings that Posyandu Lansia not only plays a role in maintaining physical health but also operates in a psychosocial and cultural arena that shapes the meaning of becoming an ageing individual, making oneself valuable by forming an ageing community institutionally supported by the state
