Abstract

The Balian tradition represents a significant local wisdom within the Dayak Siang community in Puruk Cahu, Central Kalimantan. This tradition embodies deep-rooted spiritual and social values that have been integral to the local community's life. However, the existence of the Balian tradition is currently threatened by the increasingly rapid flow of modernity. This research aims to explore the potential utilization of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology as a strategy for preserving the Balian tradition through digital transformation. Using qualitative methods and a phenomenological approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews and participatory observation. Informants in this study included Damang (Traditional Leaders), community leaders, church figures, academics, and young people concerned with preserving local culture. The results show that the Balian tradition contains rich philosophical values reflecting inter-subjective relationships, compassion, and strong mutual cooperation within the Dayak Siang community. This practice is also believed to connect humans, nature, and the spirit world. AI technology has the potential to document, analyze, educate, and disseminate information about local cultural heritage efficiently and affordably, thereby contributing to maintaining the existence of the Balian tradition amid modernization.

Abstract

This research explores the phenomenological experiences of young Catholic priests in the Diocese of Palangkaraya in constructing their spirituality amid digital transformation and the cultural expectations of the Dayak community. Using a mixed-methods sequential explanatory design with Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) involving 10 priests aged 30-40 years with 1-10 years of ordination, the research revealsfourmainthemes:thedualityofdigitalexperienceinspirituality, negotiationoftensionbetweentraditionandmodernity,reconstructionof priestlyidentity,andspiritualadaptationstrategies.Quantitativeanalysis shows significant correlations between digital competence (r=0.68, p<0.01) and cultural intelligence (r=0.72, p<0.01) with digital pastoral adaptation. Qualitative findings reveal that young priests experience "cultural-digital dissonance" between demands for physical presence in Dayakritualsanddigitalefficiency,aswellas"erosionofsilence"dueto continuous connectivity. In response, they develop a "trihybrid spirituality"thatintegratesCatholictradition,Dayakwisdom,anddigital technologythroughstrategiesofscheduleddigitallimitations,theological reinterpretation, and ritual hybridization.
