Abstract

Coastal communities in Indonesia face existential threats from climate change. Conventional top-down adaptation strategies often fail due to a disconnect from local socio-ecological realities, overlooking a critical resource: traditional ecological knowledge, or kearifan lokal. This study investigates a knowledge co-production model that synergizes kearifan lokal with modern climate science to build community resilience. We employed a 24-month, mixed-methods Participatory Action Research (PAR) design in three highly exposed coastal villages in North Java, Indonesia. Ethical protocols, including Free, Prior, and Informed Consent (FPIC), were foundational. Qualitative data were gathered from in-depth interviews (n=30), focus groups (n=12), and ethnographic observation. Quantitative data came from a pre-test/post-test household survey (n=450) measuring a validated, multi-dimensional Community Resilience Index (CRI). Interventions were co-designed, blending traditional practices like the pranata mangsa (ethno-astronomical calendar) and the wana tirta (mangrove philosophy) with scientific recommendations. A linear mixed-effects model was used to analyze changes in CRI scores. The co-designed strategies led to a statistically significant increase in the mean CRI from a baseline of 2.8 (SD=0.65) to 4.2 (SD=0.48) post-intervention (p<0.001). Significant improvements were observed across all resilience dimensions, most notably in Economic Capital (+59.1%) and Adaptive Capacity & Governance (+51.7%). The revitalization of practices such as the restoration of 50 hectares of mangroves, guided by both wana tirta principles and scientific species selection, enhanced coastal protection and local livelihoods. In conclusion, the co-production of knowledge, facilitated through a PAR framework, is a potent mechanism for building effective, culturally embedded, and sustainable climate resilience. This model empowers communities as active agents in their adaptation journey and offers a scalable, evidence-based pathway for achieving SDG 13 in Indonesia and other climate-vulnerable nations.

Abstract

The universalist claims of major European museums are built upon collections inextricably linked to the history of colonial violence and asymmetrical power. In the 21st century, a global movement demanding the repatriation of cultural heritage has challenged the very ethical and political foundations of these institutions. This study investigates the complex dynamics governing repatriation and the significant gap between museums' stated decolonial ambitions and their institutional practices, treating this dysfunction as a form of structural pathology. This study employed a mixed-methods approach grounded in a decolonial methodological awareness. The first phase consisted of a systematic thematic analysis of 188 policy documents from 25 major European museums (2019-2025), identifying the core logic of institutional responses to repatriation claims. The second phase developed a heuristic framework—a qualitative analytical model—to explore the logical outcomes of this institutional logic across three archetypal scenarios: a high-profile plunder case, a contested acquisition, and the return of ancestral remains. This model is presented not as a predictive tool, but as a framework for making the power structures and pathogenic mechanisms of holding institutions more legible. The documentary analysis revealed four key symptoms of a systemic pathology: a pervasive "rhetoric-practice gap"; the use of provenance research as both a facilitator and a barrier to claims; the strategic invocation of legal inalienability as an institutional defense; and a clear hierarchy of "returnable" heritage. The heuristic framework demonstrated that claims were most successful when high diplomatic pressure and clear evidence of looting created an overwhelming political imperative, while claims with ambiguity were likely to result in a chronic stalemate or offers of long-term loans. In conclusion, repatriation is not a simple administrative process but a deeply political and affective struggle shaped by enduring colonial power asymmetries. Genuine decolonial praxis requires more than institutional rhetoric of "slow ethics"; it necessitates treating the issue as a structural pathology requiring fundamental legal and systemic reforms, a shift in the burden of proof, and an acknowledgment of repatriation as an act of epistemic and restorative justice for source communities.
