Abstract

The globalization era with digital communication technology has led to a decline in social awareness within society. As agents of change, university students play an important role in building social concern through involvement in various activities. This research aims to examine the extent of influence that social activities have on the social awareness of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) students at UIN Sultan Aji Muhammad Idris Samarinda, who have demonstrated active participation in community service programs organized by HMPS PAI and the "Teman Panti" program by the EPIC community. This research employed a quantitative approach with correlational research design, while sampling was conducted using purposive sampling technique based on predetermined criteria. Data analysis included tests of normality, linearity, simple regression, correlation, coefficient of determination, and t-test to measure the influence and significance of relationships between variables. The research results demonstrate that social activities have a positive and significant effect on the social awareness of PAI students, with a significance value of 0.003 < 0.05 and t-count (3.156) > t-table (1.675). The correlation between the two variables falls in the medium category (Pearson Correlation 0.408), with social activities contributing 16.6% to students' social concern. These findings affirm the importance of social activities as an effective strategy in fostering social concern among university students.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the meaning of the beseprah (bekerobok) communal eating tradition among the Kutai people in East Kalimantan, who continue to preserve local customs amid the forces of modernization. The research employs a qualitative method with an ethnographic approach. The researcher was directly involved in the community through participant observation and in-depth interviews to understand the values and symbols embedded in this cultural practice. The findings reveal that the beseprah tradition holds significant symbolic meaning in fostering togetherness, strengthening social bonds, and expressing gratitude. The shared meals reflect local wisdom and serve as a space to introduce traditional Kutai cuisine. This tradition also plays a social role by reducing class distinctions. However, its implementation faces challenges, such as limited institutional support and shifting meanings due to modern influences. Nonetheless, through cooperation among stakeholders, the core values of beseprah can still be preserved. This study contributes to academic discussions in cultural anthropology and symbolic interactionism, particularly in understanding how local traditions are maintained and reinterpreted in the modern era. The findings reinforce the importance of preserving local culture as part of national identity and as a form of resistance to global cultural homogenization. Using a symbolic interactionist lens, the research provides in-depth insights into how social interaction and symbols construct shared meanings in local traditions. It also opens a dialogue on the role of community in sustaining culture as a source of long-term social strength.
