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.

Abstract

The transformation of local cultural values in the lives of young people is becoming an increasingly relevant issue in the midst of rapid globalization and accelerated urbanization. This article aims to examine how these two major forces affect the understanding, appreciation, and practice of local cultural values among the younger generation. Globalization brings popular culture, information technology and transnational lifestyles that often conflict with traditional values such as collectivity, respect for customs and emotional attachment to local communities. Meanwhile, urbanization creates a social environment that tends to be anonymous, competitive and pragmatic, thus diminishing the role of traditional social environments as guardians of cultural values. Through an in-depth literature study, this article finds that young people in various parts of Indonesia experience a complex process of cultural identity negotiation. On the one hand, they are exposed to modern values that promise progress and social mobility, but on the other hand, they still have cultural ties inherited by family and community. This transformation process is not linear, but rather shows a pattern of selective adaptation that can open up opportunities for the revitalization of local culture in a new format that is more contextual and relevant. With a reflective and participatory approach, education based on local culture and digital media can be an important tool in bridging traditional values with the dynamics of modern life of the younger generation
