Abstract

The infant burial tradition in Kalimbuang Bori’, Toraja, is an integral part of the local culture that is rich in symbolism, reflecting the community's beliefs about the cycle of life and death. This study aims to answer three main questions: first, the meaning and role of baby graves in the formation of social and spiritual values of the Kalimbuang Bori' community; second, the location selection and spatial interaction of the baby grave tradition with the natural environment that influences the community's culture; and third, the role of the younger generation of Toraja in preserving this tradition amidst the influence of modernization. Primary data collection methods were carried out through interviews, questionnaires, documentation, and direct observation in the field, while secondary data were obtained from scientific journal articles, map databases, and other research papers. The analysis method used is descriptive qualitative, which allows researchers to explore the meaning of this tradition in depth. This study adopts the Environmental Determinism Theory to explain how culture is shaped by the natural environment. The results show that the baby grave tradition reflects deep social and spiritual values and shows a close relationship between humans and nature. The role of the younger generation is very important in preserving this tradition so that cultural values remain alive amidst the challenges of modernization, and it is hoped that this research can provide deeper insight into the interaction between space and culture in the context of infant burials in Toraja.

Abstract

Makassar City, the fourth largest city in Indonesia and the main hub in Eastern Indonesia, covering an area of 175.8 km², has undergone significant changes due to the rapid rate of land conversion. This process has led to a decline in densely vegetated areas, which has impacted the rise in air temperature in built-up areas. This study aims to analyze the impact of built-up areas on the increase in air temperature in Makassar City. The data used were derived from MODIS imagery to measure air temperature changes, and analyzed using spatial analysis methods based on a spatial approach utilizing geographical data related to location. The results of the study indicate that air temperature levels in Makassar City in 2023 tended to be very high, although some areas were classified as having high and low-temperature levels. Based on these findings, strategic measures are recommended to control the rate of surface temperature increase, particularly through the development of green areas and the protection of water bodies as part of urban planning efforts.
