Journal of Tropical Ethnobiology
ISSN : 16936892     EISSN : 27220257     DOI : https://doi.org/10.46359/jte
Core Subject : Agriculture,
The journal publishes critical reviews, original research papers, short communications, notes and comments covering all aspects of ethnobiology. Journal of Tropical Ethnobiology readership is as wide and diverse as ethnobiology itself, with readers spanning from both the natural and social sciences. Not surprisingly, a glance at the papers published in the Journal reveals the depth and breadth of topics, extending from studies in archaeology and the origins of agriculture, to folk classification systems, to food composition, plants, birds, mammals, fungi and everything in between. Research areas published in Journal of Tropical Ethnobiology include but are not limited to neo- and paleo-ethnobiology, zooarchaeology, ethnobotany, ethnozoology, ethnopharmacology, ethnoecology, linguistic ethnobiology, human paleoecology, and many other related fields of study within anthropology and biology, such as taxonomy, conservation biology, ethnography, political ecology, and cognitive and cultural anthropology. Journal of Tropical Ethnobiology does not limit itself to a single perspective, approach or discipline, but seeks to represent the full spectrum and wide diversity of the field of ethnobiology, including cognitive, symbolic, linguistic, ecological, and economic aspects of human interactions with our living world. Articles that significantly advance ethnobiological theory and/or methodology are particularly welcome, as well as studies bridging across disciplines and knowledge systems. Journal of Tropical Ethnobiology does not publish uncontextualized data such as species lists; appropriate submissions must elaborate on the ethnobiological context of findings.

Abstract

This article, offer facts of variety of traditional fish processing and fish food preparation from different parts of Indonesia which might be an advantage to the effort of increasing and propagating fish (or other aquatic food resources) consumption to people in various parts of Indonesia. Tasting various fish preparations and processes from different regions will help people to familiarize them selves with different possibilities to present fish to the families. The transfer of fish food (or other sea and aqua products) preparations or recipes and processes from one part of Indonesia to other different parts is supposed stimulating people to consume more fishes and other sea or water products. The high domestic consumption of sea and water products will certainly enhance the economic significance of our waters. It should be noted that many people are curious about one locality delicacy and food particularity. This article present some examples below.

Abstract

This paper report on the utilization of plants and the indigenous environmental knowledge of the Dani people in Baliem Valley, Irian Jaya. More than 550 plant species utilized by Dani people within the Baliem Valley were recorded; 24 were cultivated species, while 526 were wild species. These species provide material for plant medicine, foods, construction material, firewood, rope, dyes, clothing, tools as well as material for cultural and ornamental uses. The Dani's dependence on available natural resources is reflected in various established customs and traditions. One example of this is the clear division between conserved, cultivated, and uncultivated areas. Some of these indigenous conservation traditions, for example wilehoma (Casuarina oligodon protection) and wikioma (Paraserianthes falcataria protection) are presented here.

Abstract

The ways in which people in the West Papuan Highlands are hunting can provide useful informations about their relation with forest environment. The activities of the Yali from the village of Holuwon, in the Heluk valley, are essentially for agriculture, but hunting still has an important role for the local management of the forest. The hunting practises are described here to understand this aspect of the technical system. For each kind of hunting practice, we study the making-techniques, the plants used for every practice, and the types of games that are hunted by each method.

Abstract

The Dawan people residing in Insana district of Timor Island (Indonesia) recognise 8 types of natural, succession as well as man-made ecosystems based on the physiognomy or the vegetation cover of the habitat. This knowledge is derived from their long interactions with their environment, especially because their way of live is wholly dependent on their surrounding natural resources. Consequently there ts nasi (natural stand looked upon as traditional forest), kick iokok (natural area served as sacred sites), lele (communal agricultural pa an (private agricultural land), lein (abandoned arable land due to the cycle of the shifting agriculture), kintal (clearly marked private kitchen garden), kuan (communal hamlet garden) and hie. sona (savanna used for communal ranching and hunting). Each type has its own characteristic plant species composition related to their uses by the people. In recent years these long traditions have been under going changes (the conversion of nasi and kzuk tokok into arable land, the over exploitations of sandal wood Sansalum album and timber trees such as Sehleichera edema, Parinari rogmhosurn and Ptertwarpus indices, as well as the shortening of the shifting cycle due to population pressure). In view of the scarcity of the resources, a number of traditional practices (such as hunting by burning shifting agriculture) can not be maintained. Family planning, and other intensified agricultural techniques will have to be introduced together with the encouragement of motivation for the people to observe sound natural resources management as inherited from their ancestors.

Abstract

A research on ethrlobotarrical aspect on Serat Cethim, a Javanese classical literature written in the early of nineteenth century, had been conducted. This research used interdiscipline approach includes social-cultural, botany, ecology, agriculture, and biodiversioo, tha tfinally JOrmed a holistic analysis of natural and human resources at that time. The result shows that (1) Serat Centhini is an important Javanese classical literature consists of multidiscipline aspects which is potential to be revealed, analysed and developed forward This book is a reflection of fife of traditional Javanese people that contents aspects of philosophy, religion, social, culture, education, prychobgy and environmental resources; (2) Javanese perception about living is that life is a vertical and horikontal relationship, with honour each other and solidarity as their way of life. Their environmental concepts contents some of conservation value to the environment; (3) traditional knowledges about management and use of plants appear people efforts in stringing vertical and hori.zontal communication in order to reach barn:or!), in their 0; (4) the use of plants of Javanese people based on Serat Centhini covered about 331 species consists of plants for food material (158 species), construction material (10 species), equipment material (46 species), coloration material (6 species), ritual material (84 species), medicinal plants (104 species), cosmetics material (170 *exits), firs-wood, and other utib'ties; (5) some of the plants using have been existing till this time, including the traditional norms. But it is still necessary to do some scientific study on some potential plants to prove their typical qualiDi. Traditional 1107111 which is stilt relevant to the future should be introduced and inherited to young generation so it could be applied as a cultural conservation eifori.
