Abstract

The construction of Bogor-Ciawi-Sukabumi (Bocimi) toll road has indirectly affected peasants of Kampung Asri in Bogor Regency. The groundwater flow has decreased since the construction began and affected rice field irrigation. The waterways have been constructed to overcome this problem, however there were damages and water decrease continues to occur. The shortage of water led the land owners to sell their properties, which can not be cultivated for rice farming,  to developers. As a consequence peasants lost their source of  income.

Abstract

This study departs from a theory of ‘Brokers as Assembler’ which locates brokers as the harmonizers of various orientations of actors in two different social realities, namely disadvantaged populations and power holders in one development practice. Drawing from the role of brokers in the ‘creation’ of tourism village development through social forestry permits, this study offers analysis of brokers beyond their role in carrying out the development; but also in the process of its creation. The development planning, until the development process becomes a productive path that can create benefits for every actor involved. This study was conducted using an ethnographic design and a political ecology approach. The findings of this study suggest that the work of intermediary actors can not only be seen as intermediaries for the vertical relationship between communities holding power and disadvantaged communities. However, brokers also construct horizontal relationships among groups of people in the same social reality to gain access to resources. Thus, studies on intermediary actors must be seen more broadly than their role in agency, transformation, and mediation in the actualization of development.

Abstract

Islamic traditional activities will always intersect with interfaith communities. One of which is mosque loudspeakers that have been used for adhan at least five times a day. Mosque loudspeakers in some cultural setting, especially in rural communities, have been used to convey information rather than merely for adhan. However, in urban setting, the usage of mosque loudspeaker has been drawn pros and cons. Instead of providing peace, it creates noise in public spaces. Even in 2016, conflicts over mosque loudspeakers sparked and led to the burning of a worship center. The Minister of Religion issued a Circular Letter No. 05 of 2022 concerning the rules of mosque loudspeakers in order to prevent the re-emergence of inter-religious conflicts caused by mosque loudspeakers. This policy, however, has invited a polemic among public as it is considered lack of understanding of the cultural aspects behind the usage of mosque loudspeaker. This study aims to analyze the Circular Letter which is considered to have left cultural sociological consideration and seems to hegemonize the subcultures of urban communities over the traditional communities. The research applied to a literature study. This research found that the policy needs to be reviewed as it was considered not addressing the core of the problem.

Abstract

The Samsom tradition is a tribute to the spirits in certain areas located in Lilinta Village. This study aims to describe in a comprehensive manner about the implementation of the Samsom tradition and to find out the factors that influence the Samsom tradition that is still being maintained in Lilinta Village to this day. This study used a qualitative method with a social phenomenological paradigm. This study found that belief in spirits is a myth that grows up in Lilinta Village. Belief in existence and tribute spirits are performed with the aim of not interfering with human life. The Samsom tradition is a routine action in management of land. The tradition is performed to prevent dangers to the community which is part of the custom. It is an act of thought through experience that awakens people’s beliefs about offerings to spirits. The cultural shift is demonstrated by the displacement of some people from Lilinta Village to town. They are influenced by the lifestyle of people in Lilinta Village who are starting to distrust their ancestral traditions, so this tradition is only carried out by the older generation in Lilinta Village.
