Abstract

The mamukek tradition is a collective fishing practice preserved in Nagari Sungai Pinang, Pesisir Selatan Regency, West Sumatra, serving as a vital component of the "blue food" system for artisanal fishers. Beyond a mere fishing technique, this practice functions as a social institution that governs access, catch distribution, and labor solidarity within the fishing community. This study aims to analyze how mamukek operates as a blue food security mechanism within a common property regime framework based on local customary (adat) rules. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach, the research utilized participant observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. Data validity was ensured through source and data triangulation, with analysis conducted through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that mamukek is executed through organized collective labor, with clear roles divided between the net owners (induk pukek) and the crew (anak pukek). The catch distribution system is relatively equitable and grounded in customary agreements, acting as a food distribution mechanism that guarantees fish protein access for fishing households, even during periods of uncertain yields. Furthermore, mamukek is governed by a set of traditional norms—such as the regulation of fishing days (hari iduik and hari mati), prohibitions on specific days, and social sanctions—which effectively prevent conflict and ensure the sustainability of marine resources. Despite facing environmental challenges like extreme weather, jellyfish seasons, and pressures from coastal tourism, the fishing community demonstrates resilience through collective strategies and consensus-based (musyawarah) decision-making. Abstrak:  Tradisi mamukek merupakan praktik penangkapan ikan secara kolektif yang masih lestari di Nagari Sungai Pinang, Kabupaten Pesisir Selatan, Sumatera Barat, dan menjadi bagian penting dari sistem pangan biru (blue food) nelayan artisanal. Praktik ini tidak hanya berfungsi sebagai teknik penangkapan ikan, tetapi juga sebagai institusi sosial yang mengatur akses, pembagian hasil, dan solidaritas kerja dalam komunitas nelayan. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis bagaimana mamukek berfungsi sebagai mekanisme ketahanan pangan biru dalam kerangka common property regime berbasis aturan adat lokal. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif dengan metode observasi partisipatif, wawancara mendalam, dan dokumentasi. Keabsahan data diuji melalui triangulasi sumber dan data, sedangkan analisis dilakukan melalui tahapan reduksi data, penyajian data, dan penarikan kesimpulan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa mamukek dijalankan melalui kerja kolektif kelompok nelayan yang terorganisir, dengan pembagian peran antara pemilik jaring (induk pukek) dan tenaga kerja (anak pukek). Sistem pembagian hasil tangkapan dilakukan secara relatif merata dan berbasis kesepakatan adat, sehingga berfungsi sebagai mekanisme distribusi pangan yang menjamin akses protein ikan bagi rumah tangga nelayan, bahkan dalam kondisi hasil tangkapan yang tidak menentu. Selain itu, praktik mamukek diatur oleh seperangkat norma adat, seperti pengaturan hari melaut (hari iduik dan hari mati), larangan melaut pada hari tertentu, serta sanksi sosial bagi pelanggaran, yang secara efektif mencegah konflik dan menjaga keberlanjutan sumber daya laut. Meskipun menghadapi tantangan lingkungan seperti cuaca ekstrem, musim ubur-ubur, dan tekanan aktivitas pariwisata pesisir, komunitas nelayan menunjukkan kemampuan adaptasi melalui strategi kolektif dan pengambilan keputusan berbasis musyawarah.

Abstract

This study aims to explore traditional medicine and healing incantations of the Tidung tribe in North Kalimantan. Key informants were selected through purposive sampling among practitioners of traditional medicine among the Tidung tribe. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The data were analyzed descriptively through data reduction, data display, verification, and triangulation. The results showed that medicinal plants accompanied by incantations (mantras) such as kalancoe pinnata (kekapal) are effective in treating toothache and fever, cat’s whiskers (sumit usi) is effective in treating back pain, betel leaf (buyu) is effective in stopping bleeding (nosebleeds), red onion (bawang lia) is effective in treating colds, and nipa palm (perumpung) is effective in treating broken bones These findings show that the traditional medicine system of the Tidung tribe in North Kalimantan, which uses incantations or prayers in the local language, Malay, and Arabic, ending with prayers for healing to God and salawat to the Prophet, still exists amid the rapid development of modern medicine. However, there needs to be strategic inheritance to the younger generation that is more dialogical and inclusive, so that traditional medicine does not appear exclusive.

Abstract

Indonesia continues to face challenges in food and nutrition fulfillment that lead to stunting, particularly in Pidie District, Aceh. This study aims to analyze the power of women's knowledge in family food fulfillment using Michel Foucault’s Power-Knowledge and Body Discipline theories. Using a qualitative approach, in-depth interviews were conducted with 40 families of stunted children and infants under two years old (baduta). The results reveal a dualism in knowledge construction: government knowledge, which promotes balanced nutrition through the "Fill My Plate" slogan, and community knowledge, dominated by ancestral traditions (such as postpartum dietary taboos and early introduction of bananas to infants). The power of women's knowledge is manifested in food selection practices that prioritize carbohydrates and animal proteins (62%) over vegetables and fruits (12%). This reflects that the process of body discipline is more intensively shaped by the intimate family environment through local knowledge rather than formal health authorities. The study recommends optimizing Posyandu and early childhood education (PAUD) through collective dining practices as a more concrete means of nutritional discipline for the community. Abstrak:  Indonesia masih menghadapi permasalahan pemenuhan pangan dan gizi yang berdampak pada stunting, salah satunya di Kabupaten Pidie, Aceh. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis relasi kuasa pengetahuan perempuan dalam pemenuhan pangan keluarga dengan menggunakan teori Relasi Kuasa-Pengetahuan dan Disiplin Tubuh dari Michel Foucault. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan teknik wawancara mendalam terhadap 40 keluarga yang memiliki anak stunting dan baduta. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan adanya dualisme konstruksi pengetahuan: pengetahuan pemerintah yang menekankan gizi seimbang melalui slogan "Isi Piringku", dan pengetahuan komunitas yang didominasi oleh tradisi turun-temurun (seperti pantangan makan pascamelahirkan dan pemberian pisang pada bayi). Kuasa pengetahuan perempuan terlihat pada praktik pemilihan pangan yang lebih memprioritaskan karbohidrat dan protein hewani (62%) dibandingkan sayur dan buah (12%). Hal ini merefleksikan bahwa proses pendisiplinan tubuh lebih intensif dilakukan oleh lingkungan keluarga yang intim melalui pengetahuan lokal dibandingkan oleh otoritas kesehatan formal. Penelitian merekomendasikan optimalisasi Posyandu dan PAUD melalui praktik makan bersama sebagai sarana pendisiplinan gizi yang lebih konkret bagi masyarakat.

Abstract

This article analyzes the effectiveness of coordination between members of the Regional Representative Council of the Republic of Indonesia (DPD RI) from Bengkulu Province and the Bengkulu Provincial Government in advocating community aspirations for regional development. The study is based on the unclear working mechanism between DPD RI as a regional representative institution at the national level and the provincial government as the administrator of regional autonomy. From a socio-anthropological perspective, regional aspirations are understood not merely as administrative proposals, but also as expressions of local interests, experiences of development inequality, and demands for recognition within central–local relations. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach through in-depth interviews, observation, and document analysis. The informants include a DPD RI member from Bengkulu Province, the Head of the DPD RI Representative Office in Bengkulu, the Regional Secretary of Bengkulu Province, and community figures. The analysis focuses on three coordination mechanisms: mutual adjustment, direct supervision, and the standardization of procedures, outputs, and skills. The findings show that coordination has taken place through formal and informal communication, particularly in the aspiration-gathering stage. However, coordination remains ineffective in the stage of advocating these aspirations to the central government because there is no standard operating procedure governing joint work mechanisms. This article emphasizes the need to institutionalize coordination so that regional aspirations do not stop at the collection stage but are systematically advocated through national policy processes. Abstrak: Artikel ini menganalisis efektivitas koordinasi antara Anggota Dewan Perwakilan Daerah Republik Indonesia (DPD RI) Provinsi Bengkulu dan Pemerintah Daerah Provinsi Bengkulu dalam memperjuangkan aspirasi masyarakat untuk peningkatan pembangunan daerah. Kajian ini berangkat dari belum jelasnya mekanisme hubungan kerja antara DPD RI sebagai representasi daerah di tingkat nasional dan pemerintah daerah sebagai penyelenggara otonomi daerah. Dalam perspektif sosial-antropologis, aspirasi daerah tidak hanya dipahami sebagai daftar usulan administratif, tetapi juga sebagai ekspresi kepentingan lokal, pengalaman ketimpangan pembangunan, dan kebutuhan pengakuan dalam relasi pusat–daerah. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif melalui wawancara mendalam, observasi, dan telaah dokumen. Informan penelitian meliputi Anggota DPD RI Provinsi Bengkulu, Kepala Kantor Perwakilan DPD RI Provinsi Bengkulu, Sekretaris Daerah Provinsi Bengkulu, dan tokoh masyarakat. Analisis difokuskan pada tiga mekanisme koordinasi, yaitu saling mengingatkan, supervisi langsung, dan standardisasi prosedur, hasil, serta keterampilan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa koordinasi telah berlangsung melalui komunikasi formal dan informal, terutama dalam penjaringan aspirasi. Namun, koordinasi belum efektif pada tahap pengawalan aspirasi ke pemerintah pusat karena belum tersedia SOP yang mengatur pola kerja bersama. Artikel ini menegaskan pentingnya pelembagaan koordinasi agar aspirasi daerah tidak berhenti pada penjaringan, tetapi terkawal hingga proses kebijakan nasional.
