Abstract

Across Indonesia, the dominant model for care and support in later life is for older people to live with or near younger family members. However, coresidence with an adult child or other close relative is not always attainable or preferred. There are conditions where older people live alone and cannot fully depend on their family members for care and support, be it for matters related to physical, economic, psychological, or spiritual needs. We examine how older people who live alone, live their lives and what strategies they pursue in facing life. The data presented in this paper are a subset of a larger comparative study on Older People’s Care Networks, which covered five disparate sites across Indonesia. This article focuses on evidence from West Sumatra and Yogyakarta. As our case studies illustrate, older people living alone is a diverse category, ranging from those with children, to those who are de facto childless or actually childless. Their security or vulnerability cannot simply be deduced from their household composition, but they require the understanding of how people create, maintain, and develop supportive networks and how they use agency in actively managing dependence, independence, and interdependence over the life course and in later life.

Abstract

Malnutrition, especially the stunting category, is a big problem for the people in Pasaman today, because it has a broad impact on aspects of life which include health, social, culture and the economy. This study aims to identify the knowledge of the people in Pasaman about fulfilling nutrition at 1000 HPK and knowing the eating patterns of the Pasaman community at 1000 HPK. This study used qualitative research methods. Data was collected through participatory observation techniques and in-depth interviews. With the number of informants as many as 35 people. The results showed that in general, the community's knowledge of fulfilling nutrition in 1,000 HPK had received counseling and socialization from the village midwife and Posyandu cadres. However, this knowledge has not been seen in the people's diet at 1,000 HPK. The practice of daily eating patterns during the 1,000 HPK era was still the same as the  habits that occurred before there was counseling. Food for pregnant and lactating women is prioritized is a matter of taste and preference, not about the nutritional content of food. Likewise with baby food 0-6 years, mothers already know that babies must be given exclusive breastfeeding, but there are still some mothers who do not give breast milk, because they think that breast milk is not filling for babies.

Abstract

The implementation of Community Service (PKM) aims to provide a deep understanding to students who join the Damal Student Association (APMD) of Puncak Regency, Papua, in Jayapura City about the importance of development in the Papua region through living in mutual understanding in a multicultural society. The method of implementing this Community Service (PKM) is carried out directly by a team with two competent presenters with lecture techniques, discussions, and students providing opinions, and their respective arguments with problems that occur in the Papua region. Community Service (PKM) was carried out at the Damal Student Dormitory Building located in Prumnas 1, Waena, Heram District, Jayapura City, Papua Province on July 30, 2025. The results and implications of this community service (PKM) program show that students are enthusiastic in discussing Multicultural, Papua, and development. Development in Papua, in various aspects, is very much needed by its people, because it can improve their welfare. Papua does not only live one ethnicity, but has many ethnicities, both indigenous Papuans and non-Papuans. This region is increasingly multicultural, encompassing ethnicities, races, religions, cultures, and more. Therefore, the entire community needs to be educated on the importance of mutual understanding to minimize conflict and division within the community. Through this Community Service (PKM) program, all participants learned that respecting, honoring, and understanding cultural diversity can lead to regional progress, as "our cultures may differ, but we are united in the development of Papua".

Abstract

Masyarakat Nagari Gasan Gadang sebagian besar bermata pencaharian sebagai nelayan, petani, dan buruh, sehingga ketika ingin melaksanakan acara baralek (pesta pernikahan) mengalami kesulitan apabila ditanggung dengan biaya sendiri. Meskipun masyarakat ada yang hidup dengan ekonomi lemah, namun mereka masih bisa melaksanakan acara baralek secara utuh. Hal ini karena adanya solidaritas yang kuat terjadi dalam masyarakat, yaitu melalui pengumpulan “uang panggilan”. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk menganalis pentingnya pengumpulan uang panggilan sebagai wujud solidaritas sosial dalam masyarakat Nagari Gasan Gadang. Penelitian ini menggunakan jenis penelitian kualitatif tipe etnografi. Adapun teknik dalam pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan cara observasi partisipasi, wawancara mendalam, dan studi literature. Pemilihan sampel sebagai informan dilakukan secara Puposive Sampling sebanyak 23 orang dengan kriteria orang yang pernah menerima dan memberi uang panggilan dalam pelaksanaan acara baralek di Nagari Gasan Gadang. Adapun kesimpulan hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa, pengumpulan uang panggilan sangat perlu dilakukan pada pelaksanaan acara baralek di Nagari Gasan Gadang karena dapat digunakan sebagai modal biaya baralek, membayar uang jemput marapulai (mempelai laki-laki), membayar hutang, dan untuk modal usaha bagi kedua mempelai pasca pernikahan. Masyarakat yang hidup dengan ekonomi menengah ke bawah tidak ada alasan untuk tidak bisa melaksanakan acara baralek secara adat yang berlaku, karena kebersamaan dan solidaritas sosial dalam masyarakat masih tinggi sehingga bisa mengumpulkan uang untuk pelaksanaan acara baralek secara utuh.Kata kunci: Pengumpulan, Uang Panggilan, Solidaritas, Masyarakat

Abstract

Abstract. The problem of food is indeed a very complicated problem to discuss and is a fundamental matter for humans. Because it involves survival and survival and is related to other problems. As a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, the government is again planning to re-utilize sago as a staple food that needs to be developed through the Nusantara Sago Week 2020. Sago contributes to the fulfillment of food in Indonesia, not only rice and can provide economic opportunities. In the Mentawai Islands, is an area that has a lot of land and sago plants. However, this has not been ignored for a long time because many programs from the government are contradictory and have resulted in sago land and the Sarereiket community being pressured. So that their access to food, which is mainly sago, has begun to be disrupted. This study uses an ethnographic approach with interpretation analysis. So that they can question and answer doubts about the phenomenon of food problems in South Siberut, especially for the Sarereiket people. Government intervention through policies and programs that lead to food causes harm and duality to the Sarereiket people. So they are in a dilemma and trapped in the simalakama trap of "eating or not eating sago" which is still being felt. Therefore, food sovereignty in South Siberut needs to be reviewed and measured according to the current situation in South Siberut.Keywords: Food Sovereignty, Food security, Mentawai, Sarereiket. Abstrak. Masalah pangan memang menjadi masalah yang sangat pelik untuk dibahas dan merupakan perkara yang fundamental bagi manusia. Karena menyangkut hanyat hidup dan keberlangsungan hidup serta terkait dengan masalah lainnya. Akibat pandemi Covid-19, pemerintah kembali menggadangkan untuk kembali mendayagunakan sagu sebagai pangan pokok yang perlu dikembangkan melalui Pekan Sagu Nusantara tahun 2020. Sagu turut andil dalam pemenuhan pangan di Indonesia bukan hanya beras dan dapat memberikan peluang ekonomi. Di Kepualauan Mentawai, merupakan wilayah yang banyak memiliki lahan dan tanaman sagu. Namun hal ini sudah lama tidak diabaikan karena banyak program-program dari pemeirntah yang bertentangan dan mengakibatkan lahan sagu dan masyarakat Sarereiket terdesak. Sehingga akses pangan mereka yang utama sagu mulai terganggu. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan etnografi dengan analisis interpretasi. Sehingga dapat mempertanyakan dan menjawab keraguan terhadap fenomena masalah pangan di Siberut Selatan khususnya bagi orang Sarereiket. Intervensi pemerintah melalaui kebijakan dan program yang bermuara pada pangan menyebabkan kerugian dan dualitas bagi orang Sarereiket. Sehingga mereka berada dalam sebuah dilema dan terjebak dalam perangkap simalakama “memakan atau tidak memakan sagu” yang hingga saat ini masih dirasakan. Oleh sebab itu, kedaulatan pangan di Siberut Selatan perlu ditinjau ulang dan ditakar sesuai keadaan yang terjadi di Siberut Selatan saat ini.Kata kunci: Kedaulatan Pangan, Ketahanan Pangan, Mentawai, Sarereiket.

Abstract

Traditional medicine still has an important role in overcoming health problems in some Indonesian people, especially in people who live far from the reach of modern medical health services, such as Nagari Maek, Regency 50 Kota of West Sumatra Province. The relationship between the etiology of disease and the use of traditional medicinal herbs and plants by battra (people who heal) in the Minangkabau tribe needs to be explained. This research examines the etiology of disease related to disease symptoms, causes, concepts of health and disease, as well as physical treatment of sick people. This research was conducted in the Nagari Maek community, Regency 50 Kota with 5 informants, 10 of whom were patients or had been patients. The research uses ethnographic type qualitative methods, namely observation, in-depth interviews and documentation. The results of the research show that the diseases that occur in the Nagari Maek community are caused by personalistic causes (diseases caused by the supernatural through shamans who aim to cause disease) and naturalistic causes (diseases caused by food, unclean environments, conditions in a person's body such as blood clogged, blood not flowing smoothly and so on). Diseases caused by personalism, in general, battra perform external treatment by soaking the concoction and sprinkling it on the patient's body, distributing the air concoction throughout the sick person's body and emitting smoke from the concoction into the patient's body. Meanwhile, diseases caused by naturalistic causes are treated by using concoctions that have been made to be drunk or eaten by the patient being treated.

Abstract

This article aims to describe the socio-economic life of the fishing community in Purus Village, Padang City. The problem in the article concerns the socio-economic conditions of fishing communities in Padang City. This research was conducted on fishing communities in Purus Village, Padang City using ethnographic qualitative methods through observation, structured interviews, in-depth interviews, and document analysis. The results of the research can be concluded: First, the reason for choosing a job as a fisherman is because this job is a job passed down from ancestors; they feel destined to be fishermen, do not have the capital to open another business, have a low level of education, and have no other skills. Second, the relationship between fishermen and their family members is not very close, because they are busy with their respective activities until the afternoon. Third, education in fishing families is generally only limited to middle and high school, because the costs are considered expensive and children lack motivation to study and continue their education to tertiary level. Fourth, there are still many fishing communities that do not have their own homes and live in simple rented houses. Fifth, income from fishing in the sea is uncertain, like a 'tiger's fortune', sometimes you get quite a lot of fish, and sometimes you don't catch any fish. The lack of socio-economic welfare of the fishing community in Purus, Padang City is influenced by unstable economic income.
