Abstract

The Konawe Eha River plays an important role in the lives of the people of Puusangi Village, Anggalomoare District, Konawe Regency, as a vital economic resource. This research aims to analyze the utilization of the Konawe Eha River as an economic resource for the community in Puusangi Village, Anggalomoare District, Konawe Regency. This study employs a qualitative approach with ethnographic methods to collect relevant data. The research results show that the people of Puusangi Village utilize the Konawe Eha River for three main activities: sand mining, Pincara ferry services, and searching for pokea clams. Sand mining has become the main source of income due to high demand and stable sand prices, although it negatively impacts the environment, such as soil erosion and a decline in fish populations. The Pincara ferry service facilitates mobility, especially for miners, while the search for pokea shells provides additional income and is part of the local culinary tradition. This river has become the main economic source because it provides abundant resources and more lucrative job opportunities compared to traditional sectors like agriculture. However, the impact is environmental damage and decreased attention to the agricultural sector, which is starting to be neglected.

Abstract

The aim of this research is to understand the lives of mountain sand miners as they carry out their duties in factories and domestic areas. This research reads the data with Ralph Linton's thinking, status, and role theory. Data col lection techniques in this research are observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The results of this research show that women who work in public areas in mountain sand mining feel that their family's needs are not sufficiently met by relying solely on income from their husbands and single parents, who have to support their families. So this dual role is carried out at the same time and is balanced between the domestic role and the public role. Through Ralph Linton's thinking, status personality is a set of typical personalities that correspond to a person's status in everyday life. The status in question is employment. Women who work in mountain sand mining in Tobimeita Village do not only have typical jobs, but they also have additional status that is appropriate to the situation. In the morning before work, they act as wives and mothers, while when they work, they act as women breadwinners.

Abstract

This study aims to explore and describe traditional healing practices as part of efforts to strengthen the health resilience of local communities, as well as to understand the reasons why the Kulisusu people continue to preserve their ancestral medical heritage in Loji Village, Kulisusu District, North Buton Regency. The theoretical framework used in this study includes the medical system theory by Foster and Anderson (1976) and the cultural inheritance theory by Koentjaraningrat (2009). Informants were selected using a purposive sampling technique. Data collection methods included participant observation and in-depth interviews. The findings reveal that 34 types of plants have been passed down through generations and are utilized by the Kulisusu community as traditional medicine. The use of these locally sourced plants reflects a form of health resilience based on local wisdom. The persistence of this tradition is primarily motivated by the community’s strong belief in the effectiveness of traditional healing practices.

Abstract

This study aims to identify Pamali in fishing and explain their functions within the Bugis community in Lapulu Subdistrict, Kendari City. The research employs a qualitative approach using observation and open-ended interviews with fishermen and community members. The data were analyzed and interpreted through Bronislaw Malinowski’s functionalist framework to examine how Pamali operates in meeting the livelihood needs of the fishing community. The findings reveal three main Pamali: (1) a prohibition against speaking harshly at sea while fishing, (2) a prohibition against going out fishing on Thursday night (the eve of Friday), and (3) a prohibition against going out fishing when a family member is critically ill or has died. These Pamali function as behavioral guidelines that reinforce caution and safety, regulate communication and interaction on boats, and organize family relations and socio-religious obligations. The study underscores that fishing-related Pamali exist not merely as prohibitions, but as local wisdom that sustains livelihoods and social order among the Bugis fishing community in Lapulu.
