Abstract

This community service activity was carried out to preserve Acehnese culture for the younger generation of the diaspora in Kampung Acheh, Kota Yan, Kedah Darul Aman, Malaysia, through Intergenerational Cultural Transmission. This activity was carried out against the backdrop of concerns about the loss of Acehnese cultural identity among the younger generation, who tend to be influenced by globalization and the process of cultural assimilation. In collaboration with the Institute of Social Sciences at Universiti Putra Malaysia, training and guidance were provided to the local community, involving young people and the older generation, related to cultural preservation in the form of preserving the Acehnese language and documenting culture in the digital field. Cultural preservation groups were formed at the village level and sustainable cultural education modules were developed. This activity is expected to be a solution to the weakening of Acehnese cultural identity among the diaspora and to strengthen its preservation in the future. This activity integrates information technology and optimization processes to accelerate cultural preservation efficiently and effectively.

Abstract

This study examines the implementation of Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) within the framework of Roundtable Suistanable Palm Oil (RSPO) and Indonesian Sustainable Palm Oil (ISPO) certification, highlighting the tension between global standards and local agrarian realities. While GAP is promoted as a technical tool to enhance productivity and sustainability, its application often follows a top-down approach that overlooks local socio-cultural contexts. Using a qualitative ethnographic method, this research uses North Aceh as a case study. Data were collected through field observations, in-depth interviews with smallholders, customary leaders, and local actors, as well as analysis of RSPO and ISPO policy documents. An anthropological perspective is employed to understand power relations, cultural meanings, and community responses to technocratic standards. Findings show that GAP implementation faces key challenges, including unclear land tenure, limited access to technology and training, and low trust toward government and plantation companies. GAP standards often conflict with customary systems and local knowledge, leading smallholders to perceive them as administrative and economic burdens. However, adaptive strategies such as agroforestry and locally grounded sustainable practices demonstrate farmers’ capacity to negotiate these demands. The study concludes that effective GAP implementation requires integrating local cultural values and strengthening the role of customary institutions as mediators between global standards and local practices.

Abstract

Pusong Lama Village is a fishing village with extraordinary marine natural potential. In addition to being directly adjacent to the sea, the village also has a Fish Landing Port (PPI) located within the village area. Due to this strategic location, the village has easy access to fish, especially skipjack tuna. As a maritime village, the people of Pusong Lama face social problems commonly experienced by fishing communities, namely economic vulnerability. In fact, the village has great potential for the development of a creative economy. One such potential is the abundant availability of skipjack tuna. However, so far this potential has not been optimally utilized to encourage the household economy of fishermen as a source of family income. During certain seasons, the abundance of skipjack tuna forces it to be sold at very low prices and even discarded as fish waste, which is only used as feed for catfish. Based on the existing potential and problems in the target village, the proposed solution is to improve community skills in utilizing fisheries potential through training in producing keumamah. The purpose of improving these skills is that the ability to produce keumamah can help support the economic resilience of fishermen’s families. The expected outcome of this training is that the community, through women’s groups, will gain the skills and capacity to produce keumamah as an economically valuable commodity. To achieve this objective, women’s groups are formed as the main target, and intensive training and mentoring are carried out using a tiered, gradual, and sustainable approach.
