Abstract

The research aimed to elaborate the myths following traditions in explicit connection with the Kajang indigenous people's dwellings and way of life. The existence of Kajang indigenous people was known for preserving their traditions with austerity. Clinging to their traditional belief system, Pasang ri Kajang was used to protect their sacred forest and natural environment. Some myths still seemed relevant and took part actively in their everyday lives. This was an empirical qualitative research, with the researcher directly visiting the location to experience the cultural situation and the people of Kajang. First-hand experience, photographing, hand sketching, interviews, and focus group discussions were employed to collect data. Analyzing the characteristics of the Kajang area from the maps, narrative analysis for the interview, focus group discussion, sketches, manual notes, photographs, and cross-analysis from literature studies resulted in the difference between inner and outer Kajang. It is found that eight practical conducts closely related to the myths are elaborated, such as oral communication, no electricity, no clay roof tile, no footwear, no colorful clothes, no decoration or modern material, orientation of buildings, and odd numbering and time calculation. Some limitations and suggestions are also presented.

Abstract

The research discussed that the woman dalang was still not considered equal to male ones in shadow puppetry performances despite being developed in the Mataram Kingdom era. Various reasons caused this phenomenon, such as the audience's preferences for men's dalangs. To respond to this condition, an all-women's karawitan community, Rara Asmoro, emerged in Surakarta to give support to many women who love wayang arts. This community sought to embrace these women's potential to then jointly promote and strengthen their skills in the field of Javanese art and culture. The research attempted to analyze the organizational culture formed in the Rara Asmoro community as an effort to empower women in the Javanese wayang art. The research applied a qualitative descriptive method to obtain a complete picture of the problem by interviewing the leader of Rara Asmoro and its four members. It finds a significance of the leader in empowering its members, fostering their confidence and talents, and expanding their opportunities for networking within the Wayang world. The dynamics of the organizational culture in the community allow everyone to switch roles: as a dalang, as a karawitan player, and as a singer, which opens opportunities for all members to have added value and skills. Conflicts are always resolved in a democratic and respectful manner, in which the leader keeps all of her members close as a family. However, internally, concertive control has not been fully implemented in the organization as it is still centralized on the leader.

Abstract

The research aimed to investigate the tourism villages provided by indigenous people in Indonesia to create a sense of place for visitors. Indigenous communities in Indonesia were often faced with discrimination and negative stigma. However, by utilizing the potential of their cultural heritage and local resources, they created a sense of place in their tourist village. The primary objective was to understand the role of indigenous entrepreneurs in preserving tourism villages and identifying the challenges faced. The research applied a qualitative approach with a case study method and was conducted in several locations, including Pampang-Kalimantan, Sade-Lombok, and Kampung Ulos-Sumatera, representing various instances of indigenous entrepreneurs managing tourism villages. The analysis focused on the characteristics of indigenous entrepreneurship and the challenges faced. Furthermore, the data were obtained through interviews and documentation with community leaders, business actors, and key figures providing assistance to indigenous entrepreneurs. The results show that indigenous entrepreneurs play a crucial role in preserving a sense of place in the respective tourism villages. These characteristics influence the physical, social, and shared meanings constituting a sense of place. However, the entrepreneurs face various challenges in the preservation efforts, including issues related to costs, management of traditional spaces for homestays and guest houses, financial support and administration, limited management and tourism-supporting facilities, enhancing storytelling, and sustainable tourism packaging for area marketing.

Abstract

The research aimed to describe the urgency of family visits as an implementation of maintaining human dignity in social life. Currently, violence in the family has become widespread and even increased over time, and the victims of violence are generally women and children who are completely helpless. The method applied was a literature review from various sources, namely indexed journals and books with a good impact factor. Literature reviews were collected, selected, and analyzed by identifying relevant topics, recording and reviewing concepts found from various sources, and systematically compiling the results of literature reviews. The results found are that family visits have three values that can be applied to maintain human dignity: building brotherhood as social creatures in society, listening to each other, and applying security principles to maintain collective integrity and security within the family. In conclusion, family visits are very important and needed by today's society because families need to greet each other, listen, and protect each other from crime. This effort is made so that human dignity in the image of God is maintained. Advice for Christian families is that carrying out family visits at this time is very important as a form of implementation of maintaining human dignity, which is starting to be shifted due to developments in science and technology in society.

Abstract

The research was conducted to determine the participation of the people of Penglipuran village in developing their village as a tourism village. Tourism development in an area certainly needed to be supported by the surrounding community. For this reason, community participation was essential, especially in tourism areas such as Penglipuran Tourism Village, Bali Island. The research applied a constructivism paradigm with descriptive qualitative research methods. The informants interviewed were the leaders of the traditional village, commonly called Kelian, as well as the people in Penglipuran village. The answers from the informants were analyzed using the theory of social change and the theory of community participation. Based on the results, community participation in Penglipuran village is on the partnership ladder. Currently, it is classified as a success because there is an opportunity for the community to be actively involved in conveying it to the village government. According to Cohen and Uphoff, in the decision-making process, Kelian, as a traditional village leader, has limited authority in connection with the concept of community participation. Program planning and decisions are formulated with all members of the village community. Likewise, during the implementation and evaluation stages of the program, even at the stage of enjoying the results, the entire village community is also involved.

Abstract

The research explored an interesting relationship between Indonesian cultural heritage and international relations. It focused on Batik Indonesia and Tenun Endek Bali as strategic tools for cultural diplomacy efforts across different presidential administrations. Starting with President Soeharto’s use of Batik as a gift at the United Nations in the 1980s, these textiles have appeared at six major ASEAN and APEC Summits. The key research question was whether these gorgeous textiles had been effective in promoting Indonesian culture on a global stage. The research aimed to analyze the evolution of Batik Indonesia and Tenun Endek Bali, emphasizing significant international events where they gained recognition, such as the ASEAN and APEC Summits. The research applied a qualitative method and archival content to analyze the journey of batik and Tenun Endek Bali in Indonesian diplomacy. The findings present a compelling narrative. The research suggests a potential link between the use of batik and Tenun Endek and positive outcomes at global meetings, including free trade (APEC 1994), regional cooperation (ASEAN Summit 2011), and consensus building (G20 2023). This highlights Indonesia’s evolving role on the international stage. The research offers a fresh perspective by examining the long-term use of batik and Tenun Endek Bali by Indonesian presidents as cultural diplomacy tools at global events, proposing a novel link to positive outcomes, and highlighting cultural heritage’s potential as a ‘soft power’ diplomatic strategy.

Abstract

The research objectively analyzed artists’ actions and strategic reactions in the urban areas of Bandung and Yogyakarta in Indonesia during the extremely turbulent COVID-19 pandemic from March 2020 to early 2021. The pandemic greatly impacted the lives of artists and practitioners because of stringent governmental prohibitions that prohibited public art events. The research examined practitioners’ experiences concerning their reliance or autonomy from government funding when engaging in arts-related endeavors. The research methodology was based on gathering data from social media and field investigations; a comprehensive collection of posters, photos, and relevant notes was compiled using a cultural studies framework. In addition, interviews were performed with arts practitioners and communities, specifically examining their involvement on social media platforms. A detailed investigation was conducted by carefully analyzing the interview data to clarify the differences between art practitioners in Bandung and Yogyakarta. It is found that the research distinguishes between individuals who receive government sponsorship and those who operate independently. It enhances the overall comprehension of power dynamics between arts practitioners and the government in the distinct setting of the COVID-19 epidemic, including those who operated autonomously. The research utilizes a cultural studies framework to examine the power dynamics between artists and the government in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The majority of participants had bachelor’s degrees or above, and the majority of respondents were professionals or employees. The research reveals that 0.949, which means that prior knowledge has a “very strong” relationship with cultural tendency and involvement. The result shows a significant positive relationship between prior knowledge and the cultural tendency of tourist involvement. Interaction with cultural attractions, such as batik making and tourist participation throughout the visit, play a major role in forming enduring memories.

Abstract

The research aimed to investigate factors that contributed to persistent suicide ideation. Peer rejection had a significantly adverse impact on mental health and could lead to the development of suicidal thoughts. The Interpersonal Theory of Suicide (IPTS) stated that suicide ideation was formed by feelings of thwarted belongingness and perceived burdensomeness, in which the former manifested from an obstructed need to belong. Prior research had been divided on the role of thwarted belongingness in suicide ideation formation; while the current research aimed to provide clarity on this matter. The research applied a qualitative method with a phenomenological design. Data collection was carried out using semi-structured, inductive interviews with each participant. Participants were young adults with experience in peer rejection and a minimum of 1 year of ongoing suicide ideation. Results show support for the IPTS and the role of thwarted belongingness in suicide ideation formation. Additionally, two factors for the maintenance of suicide ideation are identified, namely heightened sensitivity to rejection and habituation to suicidal thinking. Findings contribute to previously inconclusive and minimal research on the IPTS and maintenance of suicide ideation respectively. Future research should be conducted regarding the latter matter as it is a serious risk factor for suicide attempts. Suggestions for future intervention are discussed.
