Abstract

This study aims to analyze the social function of bini traditional poetry in the maintenance of the socio-cultural identity of local communities in Londalusi, East Rote District, Rote-Ndao Regency. The focus of the research is directed at the identification of the educational, normative, symbolic, integrative, and communicative functions of oral traditions related to the life cycle of society, including birth, marriage, and death. This study uses a qualitative approach with ethnographic-descriptive design. Data was collected through in-depth interviews and documentation of traditional narratives submitted by two key informants, namely traditional speakers (manehelo) and local traditional leaders. Data analysis was carried out thematically to map the social function of traditional narratives in the context of people's social lives. The results of the study show that traditional narratives and traditional bini poetry play an important role as a medium for inheriting traditional values, collective memory, local cosmology, and inter-generational social ethics. This oral tradition functions as a means of informal education, a regulator of social norms, a symbol of representation of the Rote people's worldview, a strengthening of social cohesion, and a cultural communication medium that maintains the continuity of the socio-cultural identity of the local community. This research confirms that the oral tradition of bini is not just an aesthetic expression, but a living and adaptive socio-cultural system. These findings contribute to strengthening the study of oral literature and cultural anthropology, especially in the context of Indonesian archipelago communities.

Abstract

Tingginya prevalensi stunting di Kabupaten Rote Ndao menuntut pendekatan intervensi yang inovatif dan kontekstual. Tujuan dari kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini adalah untuk memperkuat upaya pencegahan stunting di Jemaat GMIT Efata Lekioen melalui revitalisasi dan integrasi nilai-nilai budaya lokal serta ajaran keagamaan. Metode yang digunakan adalah Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat (PKM) dengan pendekatan partisipatif yang diimplementasikan melalui workshop bersama pemuda-pemudi gereja. Pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui pre-test/post-test dan Diskusi Kelompok Terpumpun (FGD), yang kemudian dianalisis secara deskriptif-kualitatif. Hasil dan pembahasan menunjukkan adanya peningkatan pengetahuan peserta secara signifikan mengenai stunting. Kegiatan ini berhasil mengidentifikasi nilai-nilai budaya kunci seperti gotong royong dan tradisi menyusui jangka panjang, serta nilai keagamaan seperti pelayanan kasih (diakonia), yang kemudian direvitalisasi menjadi dasar pengembangan luaran program. Luaran utama yang dihasilkan adalah "Buku Saku Pencegahan Stunting" dan "Model Pendampingan Berbasis Gereja" yang relevan secara budaya dan spiritual. Pembahasan menekankan bahwa pendekatan ini berhasil memberdayakan pemuda sebagai agen perubahan dan menumbuhkan rasa kepemilikan komunitas. Kesimpulan & rekomendasi dari kegiatan ini adalah bahwa revitalisasi nilai endogen merupakan strategi efektif untuk program kesehatan berbasis komunitas. Disarankan agar gereja melembagakan model yang telah dikembangkan ke dalam program pelayanannya untuk menjamin keberlanjutan.

Abstract

This study analyzes communication patterns among the Bajo and Sikka ethnic groups in Wolomarang Village, Sikka Regency. The focus of this study is the patterns and dynamics of convergence and divergence in communication among the Bajo and Sikka ethnic groups in terms of social adaptation. Ethnographic methods were used because they enable researchers to understand the daily habits and interactions between the Bajo and Sikka ethnic communities that can be observed. Data were collected through participant observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The results of the study show that communication patterns are formed through continuous interactions in various areas of life, such as markets, residential environments, social activities, and religious activities. The patterns that emerge are generally open, adaptive, and accommodating, reflecting harmonious relationships despite cultural differences.  Convergence is evident through adjustments in speech patterns, language use, and social behavior to achieve mutual understanding, especially with the use of Indonesian as a lingua franca in public interactions. Divergence is seen when each ethnic group maintains its own language and distinctive communication characteristics. The Bajo ethnic group uses the Bajo language in internal interactions and exhibits a soft and religious style of speech, while the Sikka ethnic group uses the Sikka language with a firm and expressive communication style. Social adaptation is reflected in functional bilingualism and mixed family practices that combine values, languages, and traditions with mutual respect.
