Abstract

This article explores cultural transformation and changes in social interaction within the indigenous community of Negeri Hatusua as a result of the introduction of digital technology, particularly smartphones and the internet. The main objective of this study is to uncover the shifts in values and norms within family structures as well as changes in social communication patterns in the digital era. The research adopts a qualitative approach through data collection techniques such as in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation. Findings indicate that the presence of digital technology has shifted the community’s communication patterns from face-to-face interaction to indirect communication through digital devices. This shift affects relationships among family and community members, particularly in terms of information exchange and the practice of customary values. These findings affirm that digital technology plays a significant role in driving social and cultural change in indigenous societies, supporting previous studies and expanding the understanding of how local cultures adapt to global technological developments. The novelty of this research lies in its focus on indigenous communities, which have been relatively underrepresented in studies on digital technology. The study recommends strengthening digital literacy grounded in local wisdom to ensure that cultural transformations preserve indigenous identity and social cohesion. This research provides a valuable contribution to the development of the social sciences and humanities, particularly in understanding the impact of technology on traditional cultural values and social structures.

Abstract

Maluku Province, Indonesia, is an archipelago characterized by its vibrant cultural, ethnic, and social diversity, but also by recurrent conflicts linked to land, identity, and historical grievances. This study reports on a community service initiative in Negeri Laha, Ambon, designed to enhance local capacities for conflict management and resolution. Employing participatory action research, the program delivered a series of workshops and interactive dialogues focused on the causes, dynamics, and solutions for conflict, with special attention to land disputes involving the Indonesian Air Force and local residents. Thirty participants, including youth, women, traditional, and religious leaders, engaged in case simulations, collaborative reflection, and practical training in negotiation and mediation. The results indicate a significant increase in participants’ understanding of conflict sources, practical confidence in resolution strategies, and motivation to continue peacebuilding efforts. Key barriers identified include deep-seated mistrust, external influences, and limited institutional support for ongoing reconciliation. The initiative’s emphasis on inclusive engagement, local leadership, and culturally relevant dialogue aligns with best practices in global peacebuilding literature and demonstrates the value of university-community collaboration. This model offers promising implications for other multicultural and conflict-prone areas, supporting both immediate dispute resolution and the development of sustainable local peace infrastructures. Future efforts should prioritize sustained capacity-building, regular dialogue forums, and integrated support from government and civil society to maintain long-term social harmony and resilience.
