Abstract

This research examines the abstinence and prohibition system of the Kajang community in South Sulawesi, analyzing its form, meaning, cultural value, and role in maintaining social order and cultural identity. Descriptive qualitative method with ethnographic approach was used through literature study and observation to understand the resilience of customary rules in the midst of modernization. The results show that customary taboos cover aspects of life such as dress code, social interaction, natural resource management, and rituals, with philosophical values of simplicity, equality, obedience, and natural harmony. The Ammatoa's central role as customary leader is key to maintaining the continuity of this value system through norm enforcement and intergenerational transmission. In conclusion, the customary abstinence system functions as an effective instrument of social regulation, as well as a protector of cultural identity. This research confirms the importance of local wisdom in shaping sustainable communities with strong identities amidst global changes. The findings provide a perspective on the relevance of tradition preservation as a foundation of cultural resilience.

Abstract

This study investigates the system of customary taboos and prohibitions within the Kajang indigenous community in South Sulawesi, exploring its function in maintaining social order and cultural identity amid modernization. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach grounded in ethnographic methods, data were collected through participant observation, in-depth interviews, and document analysis conducted in Tana Toa, the cultural heart of Kajang. The findings reveal that customary restrictions extend beyond normative control; they embody core philosophical values such as simplicity (kamase-mase), egalitarianism, and ecological harmony. These taboos function as effective social instruments for conflict prevention, environmental conservation, and the reinforcement of communal solidarity, supported by traditional sanctions and multigenerational value transmission. The central role of the Ammatoa—a spiritual and customary authority—in interpreting and preserving Pasang ri Kajang (ancestral teachings) is vital to the continuity of this indigenous regulatory system. This study demonstrates that local wisdom, expressed through the taboo system, offers a resilient and adaptive framework for sustaining cultural identity and social cohesion. Furthermore, the findings provide an alternative perspective for developing culturally grounded policies in environmental conservation and indigenous community empowerment.
