Abstract

Background: This study analyzes the cultural relations of the Baduy community in their efforts to conserve nature using a qualitative approach based on ethnography. Methods: Data was collected through non-participatory observation and unstructured interviews with nine informants from the Baduy indigenous community in Banten. The analysis uses social ecology theory and customary law. Findings: The results show that the Baduy community consistently practices norms, spirituality, and nature conservation that have been passed down by their ancestors, even as globalization and modernism sweep through. The findings show that the Baduy community possesses ecological wisdom that functions as a form of local environmental governance, integrating spiritual values with environmental ethics. Their resistance to modernization and industrialization is not a rejection of progress, but a conscious effort to maintain the balance between humans and nature in accordance with traditional values. Conclusion: This research, grounded in local wisdom, not only deepens readers' understanding of the Baduy indigenous community's role in preserving cultural identity while conserving nature but also aids in the design of government policies. Novelty/Originality of this article: This research expands on previous studies by highlighting the spiritual aspect of the Baduy indigenous community as an important ecological actor that has received little attention in studies of indigenous ecology.

Abstract

Background: Farmers in Misamis Occidental face multiple challenges, including physical labor exhaustion, financial instability, climate unpredictability, and lack of institutional support. This study explores the lived experiences and adaptive strategies of these farmers to understand the essence of resilience within a rural Philippine context. Methods: Drawing on thematic analysis of in-depth interviews, the research identified key sources of resilience such as spiritual strength, familial responsibility, resourcefulness, and deep-rooted farming identity. Findings: Participants described farming not only as labor but as a purposeful sacrifice for future generations, shaped by cultural upbringing and personal meaning. Despite enduring hardship, farmers maintained a strong sense of perseverance through prayer, peaceful conflict resolution, and emotional endurance. Conclusion: The results suggest that resilience among farmers is shaped by an interplay of socio-emotional, spiritual, and contextual factors, highlighting the importance of culturally grounded support mechanisms. Novelty/Originality of this article: This study contributes original insights by contextualizing resilience within the spiritual and socio-cultural realities of rural farmers in the Philippines, offering a novel foundation for developing localized resilience-building interventions and policy frameworks.

Abstract

Background: Waste is a global issue that requires serious and sustainable handling. Waste management problems are not only the responsibility of the government or related institutions, but also a shared duty of society — including social communities. Methods: This research uses a qualitative method with a descriptive approach. Data collection techniques include primary sources — namely, social community administrators — and secondary sources such as necessary documentation. Data was collected through observation, interviews, and documentation from websites and social media accounts of several community organizations. The data analysis technique involved data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. Findings: The results of the study show that community empowerment programs have been successfully implemented, including educational initiatives such as seminars, training sessions, and city-wide clean-up campaigns, as well as the establishment of waste banks and social media awareness campaigns. The waste management methods applied by these communities include bata terawang, loseda, biopores, composting buckets, and maggot-based processing. During the implementation of these empowerment efforts, several challenges emerged, such as inadequate facilities, low public awareness of proper waste management practices, and limited financial resources in the early stages of the communities' formation. Conclusion: It can be concluded that the role of social communities in empowering the public through waste management has made a real contribution to reducing and transforming waste into valuable materials. Novelty/Originality of this article: Social communities empower people using an andragogical approach — an educational method that treats adult learners as peers. These communities have succeeded in empowering society through various channels of life, such as direct education, social media outreach, and by setting real-life examples of proper waste management.

Abstract

Background: Bird conservation in Indonesia is still focused on the areas of conservation of specified government. As in the nature reserves, wildlife clan asylum and national park. Nevertheless there are birds that live outside conservation areas such as forest city. DKI Jakarta as the capital city of Indonesia with a population of the most populous and has a forest city as a habitat of birds in urban areas, it become necessary to know research, equity, diversity, wealth, abundance, similarity species of birds, the difference in noise level and noise influence toward activity-voiced bird in three forest city of DKI Jakarta. Methods: Data retrieval method using point count with 24 point edge and central region in each forest city. Findings: Based on the findings presented in Chapter IV of the thesis, the study showed that higher noise levels and greater human presence significantly reduced bird vocal activity across three urban forests in Jakarta. The average noise level was highest in PT JIEP City Forest (66.55 dB), while human activity peaked in Hutan Kota Srengseng with 152 individuals recorded. A statistically relevant pattern was found: bird vocalization activity and the number of vocalizing birds were highest in areas with lower noise and human presence, supporting the hypothesis that anthropogenic disturbance negatively impacts bird behavior. Conclusion: This study reveals that noise levels and human presence significantly affect bird vocal activity and species diversity in urban forests of Jakarta, with lower noise and fewer people correlating with higher bird sound activity and diversity, highlighting the ecological importance of preserving and managing these green spaces. Novelty/Originality of this article: This study presents a novel investigation by integrating spatial (edge vs. center zones).

Abstract

Background: In Indonesia itself, it is estimated that red chilies were brought by traders from Persia when they stopped in Aceh, including large red chilies, cayenne peppers, curly red chilies, and paprika. Factors that influence chili cultivation are less fertile soil conditions due to continuous use, this causes a decrease in soil quality which will affect the growth and production of chili plants and have an impact on reducing the growth and yield of chili production both in terms of quantity and quality, in addition to the use of quality seeds and superior varieties determine the increase in chili productivity. Methods: This research was conducted out from May 2022 to September 2022 in the experimental farm of the Faculty of Agriculture, Padjadjaran University, Jatinangor, Sumedang. With an altitude of about 700 meters above sea level (masl). The purpose of this research is to study the effect of volume combination and technique of nutrient solution administration on growth and yield of large red chilies (Capsicum annum L.) variety Baja F1. Providing nutrient solutions on time is intended to be according to the age of the plant, the right volume is intended to provide nutrient solutions with a certain volume that suits the needs of each plant, while right on target is intended to provide nutrient solutions in the root area or sprayed on the leaves, either fertilizing directly to the land or plant roots or spraying directly on the leaves (foliar feeding). The environmental design uses a simple pattern randomized block design (RAK) volume combination and technique of nutrient solution, with 6 experimental levels (A=volume 225 ml onto the field and without spraying onto the leaves, B=volume 300 ml onto the field and without spraying onto the leaves, C=volume 375 ml onto the field and without spraying onto the leaves, D=volume 200 ml onto the field and spraying onto the leaves, E=volume 300 ml onto the field and spraying onto the leaves and F=volume 375 ml onto the field and spraying onto the leaves), and repeated 4 times. Findings: The application of different combinations of nutrient solution volume and administration techniques significantly affected several growth parameters (such as plant height at 3 WAP, number of leaves at 1, 2, 4, and 5 WAP, and stem diameter at 4 and 5 WAP) as well as yield parameters (including number of chilies and total fruit weight). Conclusion: Among the treatments, the combination of applying 225 ml nutrient solution directly to the field along with foliar spraying produced the most optimal results in terms of both growth and yield of Baja F1 chili plants. Novelty/Originality of this article: This study provides novel insights into the integrated approach of combining precise nutrient volume and foliar feeding techniques, specifically identifying the synergistic effect of 225 ml root application and foliar spraying in enhancing growth and yield, which has not been thoroughly explored in previous chili cultivation studies.
