Abstract

The research examines religious discrimination against Christian communities in Salatiga City, a location frequently regarded as a model of religious tolerance and diversity in Indonesia. The novelty of the research lies in uncovering discriminatory practices within a city that officially promotes interfaith harmony, thereby revealing the gap between public discourse and lived experiences. Using a qualitative approach, the research provides insights into how religious exclusivism manifests even within contexts celebrated for their pluralistic values. Data are collected through interviews with three key informants—SH, M, and U—who experience forced displacement from the X subdistrict due to their religious identity. The interview data are analyzed using the Miles and Huberman analytical framework to identify recurring patterns and themes. The findings indicate various forms of discrimination, including social ostracism, restrictions on property ownership, prohibitions on worship, and forced evictions based on religious affiliation. This discrimination emerges from deeply rooted beliefs that perceive Christianity as incompatible with predominant local traditions and practices. What distinguishes the research is its focus on the micro-level dynamics of intolerance and how these practices challenge Indonesia's constitutional principles of religious freedom and unity in diversity. To address these challenges, the research proposes a multi-stakeholder intervention framework emphasizing leadership engagement, public education, and interfaith dialogue. By integrating empirical evidence with practical solutions, the research strengthens scholarly understanding of the challenges faced by religious minorities in Indonesia. It offers recommendations for fostering genuine pluralism and enhancing social cohesion at the community level.

Abstract

The research aimed to describe and explain (1) the procession of the Nyadran traditional ceremony in Demangan Hamlet, Temanggung Regency, and (2) the local wisdom values embodied in the Nyadran traditional ceremony in the Demangan region. The research was conducted in Demangan, Temanggung, employing a qualitative method with an ethnographic approach. The research was conducted during the Nyadran traditional ceremony on Jumat Kliwon in the month of Ruwah. The data consisted of interview transcripts, field notes, and documents or archives of the Nyadran tradition. Data validity was ensured through triangulation and informant review, while the data analysis applied an interactive technique comprising four components: data collection, data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings demonstrated that (1) the procession of the Nyadran traditional ceremony in Demangan Hamlet, Temanggung Regency, consisted of several stages: the formation of the organizing committee, mutual cooperation, setting up a tarup (tent) for a wayang performance, preparing ceremonial items (ubo rampe) for the main procession, and the main Nyadran procession itself; and (2) the Nyadran tradition embodies values of local wisdom, including discipline, education, mutual cooperation, cultural preservation, environmental awareness, peace, politeness, gratitude, and harmony. The Nyadran tradition serves as a reflection by the community to balance spiritual, social, and cultural preservation amidst globalization and modernization.

Abstract

The research investigates how Indonesian fashion designers incorporate elements from the beskap, a traditional Javanese shirt, into their collections. The beskap holds significant cultural importance in Indonesia and was created as a symbol of status, blending Javanese and European design features. In recent years, a growing interest in Indonesian traditional fashion has led designers to draw inspiration from the beskap for their contemporary designs. To explore this trend, the research analyzes 58 garments from three Indonesian fashion brands: KRATON, Wilsen Willim, and House of Radinindra. The research uses a design-based research method that includes image analysis, literature review, and field research conducted at the Karaton Kasunanan Surakarta Hadiningrat and Pura Mangkunegaran. The analysis focuses on several design features, including silhouette, collar, closure, garment length, sleeve length, back design, and materials. The findings reveal that key features retained in contemporary adaptations include tailored silhouettes (64%), high collars (81%), button closures (90%), elongated sleeves (83%), and distinct back openings (76%). The research concludes that these structural elements are essential for preserving cultural identity in modern fashion, serving as a reference for designers who wish to globalize traditional Indonesian clothing.

Abstract

The research explains the concept of bancah, which translates to "swamps," as a source of ecological wisdom and an integral part of Minangkabau local knowledge. In Minangkabau society, bancah has traditionally been vital to the community's social and cultural life. While many people today view bancah as unproductive, their ecological and cultural significance is deeply rooted in Minangkabau identity. The research employs an ethnoscience approach, complemented by methods such as interviews, field observations, and literature reviews, to explore local memories and knowledge about bancah in the Minangkabau community, particularly in the Kuranji and Nanggalo districts of Padang. The analysis focuses on how the community understands bancah and its meanings to ecology and culture. The findings show that bancah traditionally teaches respect for nature and acts as an informal educational resource that promotes sustainable practices. However, changes in land use and modern economic needs have led younger people to view bancah mainly as a source of income, overlooking its ecological and cultural importance. This shift poses a threat to the preservation of traditional knowledge and disrupts the ecological connections that are vital to Minangkabau cultural identity. The transformation of bancah reflects a larger shift in collective memory and cultural values, indicating the weakening bond between the Minangkabau community and its wetland heritage due to urban development. Preserving bancah as an ecological and cultural resource is crucial for maintaining local food security (sago), ensuring environmental stability, and preserving the connection of the Minangkabau people with their cultural heritage.

Abstract

The issue of ecology has gained global attention due to widespread environmental damage, including in Indonesia. Our ancestors possessed local wisdom that helped preserve ecological balance, one example being the Sedekah Bumi (earth alms) tradition in Banyumas, Central Java, Indonesia. This research aims to examine the values of ecological wisdom and the role of the Sedekah Bumi ceremony in shaping the community's ecological awareness, particularly through the processions and offerings made in Kalitanjung Hamlet, Banyumas Regency. Additionally, it explores how the indigenous people of Banyumas have managed to preserve this tradition to this day. This research employs a qualitative descriptive research design with an ethnographic approach. Data collection techniques included observation, in-depth interviews, and document analysis. The theoretical framework for this research is based on Keraf's nine principles of environmental ethics. The findings reveal that the ecological wisdom inherent in the Sedekah Bumi tradition is closely linked to the community's way of life. This deep connection with nature has given rise to nine key ecological values: respect for nature, moral responsibility for nature, cosmic solidarity, care for nature, the principle of "no harm," simplicity and harmony with nature, justice, democracy, and moral integrity. This research contributes to existing theories and provides practical implications for further studies on the Sedekah Bumi tradition in various regions.

Abstract

The shifting meaning of Javanese culture is a central theme in Tunggono's Nuswantara trilogy. This topic is important to explore, as the social criticism embedded in these fictional works warrants careful analysis. This descriptive qualitative research aims to explain the role of Javanese locality as a critique of sociocultural dynamics in the trilogy. Swingewood's sociology of literature and van Peursen's theory of cultural dynamics are applied as analytical frameworks. The researcher serves as a human instrument, gathering data through heuristic reading, hermeneutic interpretation, and note-taking. The data are processed using content analysis, which includes condensation, display, conclusion drawing, and verification. The findings indicate that the Javanese cultural dynamics in the trilogy can be categorized into three domains. First, mystical thought encompasses Hindu–Kejawen practices associated with shamans, the controversial jamasan keris ritual, offerings (sajen) and incense (dupa) to summon spirits (dedemit), mystical gamelan, and the perception of spiritual knowledge as identical with supernatural science. Second, ontological thought presents social critiques that challenge mystical traditions, contending that such beliefs do not correspond to the authentic essence of Javanese locality. Third, functional thought highlights critiques that link cultural practices to their societal and practical functions, underscoring the adaptability of Javanese culture within contemporary contexts. Tunggono’s cross-cultural engagement contributes to revitalizing discourse on Javanese cultural dynamics in literature, carried out with a strong sense of intellectual responsibility. The research affirms that Javanese culture remains open to interpretation, reflection, and critical inquiry, offering rich possibilities for ongoing scholarly examination of its evolving significance.

Abstract

The waste problem at Trisik Beach in Yogyakarta Province remains a complex and urgent issue that requires immediate attention. Addressing this environmental challenge while supporting economic growth in coastal ecosystems necessitates ongoing collaborative efforts. The Banaran Tourism Awareness Group (Pokdarwis), along with local artists and other stakeholders, has initiated a social activity focused on environmental cleanliness called Daulat Sampah. This program promotes sustainable practices and applies the circular economy concept, where waste is recycled into artworks that possess both aesthetic and commercial value. This not only contributes to the economic development of the Banaran community but also serves as a model for environmental improvement through the reuse of materials. Joint actions, such as waste reduction and reuse, function as community education tools, fostering greater awareness and concern for the surrounding environment. This research employs field observations, in-depth interviews, and literature reviews, with data analyzed descriptively and qualitatively. The findings suggest that adopting the circular economy concept offers a viable solution for integrated environmental management. The structuring process within this program shows potential to mitigate ecological damage caused by recent weather changes. Moreover, waste management activities at this marine tourism site exemplify practical sustainable development. Such initiatives can be implemented comprehensively across various marine tourism sites, especially along the southern coastal region of Java Island.

Abstract

Indonesia is rich in cultural heritage, and introducing local culture is essential for shaping a child's identity, particularly among the younger generation. However, there is a lack of engaging educational media to introduce Indonesian cultural heritage to young students. Existing materials often fail to support the development of cognitive and motor skills, and they frequently do not utilize safe and sustainable materials. Therefore, innovation is needed to instill traditional values in future generations. The research aims to design a wooden puzzle that allows children to learn through play while gaining a deeper understanding of Indonesia's cultural heritage. The research employs research and development methods, including literature reviews and in-depth interviews. Experts validated the puzzle through interviews and questionnaires with teachers to ensure it was suitable for children. The puzzles were designed in a cheerful and simple cartoon style, focusing on traditional clothing and houses. Teachers rated the puzzle's validity at 99.28%, indicating that it meets educational standards and helps students understand cultural diversity. Students gave a validation score of 97.75% based on the questionnaire criteria. The research emphasizes the effectiveness of wooden cube puzzles as an interactive learning tool that offers advantages over other similar products for introducing Nusantara's traditional clothing and houses to elementary students. The findings suggest that this puzzle can enhance student engagement and cultural awareness. Its effectiveness can be further improved through digital integration for a greater educational impact. Overall, the research concludes that using wooden cultural puzzles can effectively enhance children's cognitive skills while fostering cultural awareness and national identity.

Abstract

The research examines the multifaceted history of tolerance tourism in Glodok Chinatown, Jakarta, Indonesia, with a focus on the Peranakan Chinese community and its unique cultural heritage. Glodok's development as a tourism destination is examined through the lens of "tolerance tourism", with the region's diverse ethnic and religious groups serving as the primary element in the development of heritage tourism. To understand the impact of events, policies, and social dynamics on tourism growth, the study employs a qualitative thematic approach to analyze historical literature spanning from colonial times to the present. The analysis examines the efforts by government bodies and local stakeholders, including the cultural ambassadors, to promote Glodok Chinatown's cultural heritage while ensuring inclusivity and community empowerment. The research also critically assesses the challenges faced, such as maintaining cultural authenticity amidst commodification and the need for balanced development that empowers local communities alongside economic growth. The research concludes by emphasizing the importance of inclusive tourism policies, effective communication strategies, and sustained stakeholder involvement to achieve truly successful and sustainable tolerance tourism in Glodok Chinatown. By understanding the historical context and the dynamic interactions between various stakeholders in Glodok Chinatown, the study provides valuable insights for the development of culturally sensitive and community-empowering tourism models in similar multicultural settings.

Abstract

The research explores the socio-cultural dynamics and double precarity faced by Voicehell, a do-it-yourself (DIY) music scene based in Purwokerto. It provides an in-depth examination of the intersecting forms of precarity experienced by a collective of young people, conceptualized as an intermediate generation navigating their life choices within the broader context of the global risk generation. Using a qualitative method combined with a biographical approach, the research presents a reflective biography of the youth involved with Voicehell. The findings reveal that the collective negotiates various manifestations of capital, which may undermine their authenticity and authority as a DIY music scene. Notably, the research does not present a simplistic account of Voicehell's challenges. Instead, it demonstrates that their distinctive position within both a provincial city and the broader Indonesian context exposes them to double precarity. The research further illustrates how such conditions may also affect other Indonesian youth groups, as well as those in the Global North, where collectives frequently contend with spatial inadequacies rooted in underdeveloped socio-economic contexts. These structural limitations sustain their position within the global risk generation. By analyzing the case of Voicehell, the research contributes to a deeper understanding of youth cultures and their negotiation of authenticity, authority, and precarity in a globalized world.
