Abstract

Cultural preservation in the face of globalization is a pressing concern for diverse societies worldwide. This research delves into the complexities of sustaining cultural heritage in the rich and diverse landscape of Indonesian culture, a nation with a mosaic of traditions, languages, arts, and customs. Employing a mixed-methods approach that combines qualitative and quantitative research methods, including interviews, surveys, and content analysis, this study identifies the challenges and strategies associated with cultural preservation in Indonesia. The qualitative findings reveal that rapid modernization, urbanization, media influence, cultural displacement, commodification, and appropriation pose significant challenges to the preservation of Indonesia's cultural heritage. These challenges resonate with global discussions on the impact of globalization on cultural diversity. Furthermore, qualitative data highlight the importance of strategies such as cultural education, documentation and archiving, community involvement, and supportive policy and legislation. Quantitative survey data reinforce these qualitative insights, indicating a strong desire among respondents for cultural education, documentation, community involvement, and policy support. The majority of respondents expressed awareness of their cultural heritage and active participation in cultural activities. The implications of this research extend beyond Indonesia, as the findings provide valuable insights into the broader discourse on cultural preservation in a globalizing world. The strategies identified in this study offer potential solutions for preserving cultural heritage in diverse regions facing similar challenges. Ultimately, this research underscores the significance of safeguarding cultural diversity amidst the currents of globalization.

Abstract

In order to track the contribution of local wisdom to sustainable cultural heritage preservation, this study uses a bibliometric approach. A vast range of literature is covered by the analysis, including foundational works on political ecology, institutional ecology, ecological footprint, sustainable rural lifestyles, and systems thinking. Through the identification of clusters within the literature, the study reveals important topics including the preservation of biodiversity, sustainable tourism, and the incorporation of indigenous knowledge. The Brundtland Report and "Braiding Sweetgrass," among other notable publications, are recognized for having shaped the conversation on sustainability and the fusion of traditional knowledge with scientific understanding. A keyword analysis also indicates the prominence of terms like "Impact," "Local Wisdom," and "Tourism," indicating their importance in the industry. The results present a thorough summary of the field and are a useful resource for academics, decision-makers, and practitioners involved in the sustainable protection of cultural assets.

Abstract

The ecological stability of our world and human well-being are dependent on biodiversity, but in the age of climate change, biodiversity faces hitherto unheard-of difficulties. This study investigates the intricate interactions between the preservation of biodiversity and the effects of climate change in Indonesia's rural Sukabumi District. Using a mixed-methods approach that includes field observations, interviews, surveys, and secondary data analysis, the study looks into the drivers of biodiversity loss as well as the state of biodiversity now and the effects of climate change on regional ecosystems. The findings show the incredible biodiversity of Sukabumi District, including its healthy coral reefs and terrestrial rainforests, as well as the noticeable effects of climate change, such as altered species behavior and coastal erosion. Unsustainable land-use practices and climate-related variables are identified as major contributors to the decline of biodiversity. Community-led conservation efforts provide success stories, but to protect biodiversity and improve climate resilience, strong policy proposals are required. The suggested recommendations place a strong emphasis on multi-stakeholder collaboration, conservation education, climate resilience, sustainable land-use practices, and community engagement. Sukabumi District is highlighted in the report as a microcosm of the problems facing biodiversity conservation worldwide, and it calls for swift and coordinated action to save nature's final line of defense against climate disaster.

Abstract

This research delves into the complex interplay between popular culture and the values and beliefs of Indonesian teenagers, offering insights into the multifaceted influence of media consumption. In an age marked by the ubiquity of globalized media, Indonesian adolescents are navigating a landscape where traditional cultural norms intersect with the allure of popular culture from around the world. Employing a mixed-methods approach, this study combines surveys, interviews, and content analysis to investigate how various forms of popular culture, including television, social media, music, and film, impact the attitudes, values, and beliefs of Indonesian teenagers. The research also explores themes, messages, and the negotiation of these influences within the context of cultural identity. Findings reveal that popular culture undeniably shapes the perceptions and beliefs of Indonesian youth, but it also reflects their agency in adapting and reaffirming their cultural identity amidst the dynamic forces of globalization.

Abstract

This study explores the complex relationship in Central Sulawesi, Indonesia, between societal transformation and mental health. Using a mixed-methods approach, the study investigates how economic adjustments, lifestyle changes, and coping techniques relate quantitatively and qualitatively in the context of continuous societal developments. Significant relationships have been shown through quantitative analyses between changes in lifestyle, economic uncertainty, and elevated levels of anxiety and depression. These findings are strengthened by qualitative observations, which reveal complex views of social change, the breakdown of community cohesiveness, and adaptive coping mechanisms. Combining these findings provides a comprehensive knowledge of Central Sulawesi's resilience characteristics and complex issues. The implications for focused interventions and policy are examined, with a focus on the necessity of culturally aware, context-specific methods to improve mental health in the face of changing social dynamics.

Abstract

This study employs a broad multidisciplinary approach to investigate the complex dynamics of human-environment interactions in Central Java. The close relationship between cultural behaviors, like customary ceremonies and indigenous knowledge systems, and the surrounding environment is made evident by ethnographic discoveries. The qualitative tales are supported quantitatively by ecological analyses, such as land use mapping and biodiversity assessments, which underscore the relationship between ecological health and cultural resilience. Workshops and participatory mapping are examples of community engagement activities that provide a forum for co-creating sustainable projects with nearby communities. The robustness of the results is ensured by the triangulation of data sources. The results' synthesis highlights the role that cultural practices have in forming sustainable habits and adds to the growing global conversation about the relationship between culture and ecology.

Abstract

In the context of Indonesia's dynamic socioeconomic landscape, this research focuses on sustainability and social justice while addressing cross-sectoral concerns in consumer culture. Through the use of a mixed-methods approach that incorporates qualitative interviews, quantitative surveys, and in-depth case studies, the study sheds light on the complex interactions between environmental, cultural, and economic elements that influence consumer behavior. Results highlight financial limitations by showing a relationship between sustainable practices and socioeconomic level. Traditional and global cultural influences become important, influencing motivations and creating obstacles. Consumer choices are greatly influenced by business practices, which emphasizes the importance of transparency in promoting positive change. Case studies offer practical examples that highlight both the advantages and disadvantages of consumer behavior. Actionable recommendations for businesses, consumers, and politicians are informed by the combination of quantitative and qualitative findings, paving the way for Indonesia to adopt a more socially equitable and sustainable consumption culture.
