Abstract

Based on religious differences between couples pose challenges in parenting, so this study aims to find cultural diversity and parenting in families of other religions, psychological impacts and mental health on children from families of different faiths, and the integration of psychological anthropology in the care of children of families of different religions. This qualitative research explores issues or mental problems experienced by children in forming their character. The study found that parenting families of other faiths has a positive value for their children's development. Parenting practices are based on cultural traditions, ethnic values, and family habits passed down from generation to generation, as well as the influence of parenting on the emotional, social, and cognitive development of children who apply parenting strategies such as authoritative, overprotective, and permissive that do not carry elements of their respective religions. In addition, it also found integration in the care of children through practices such as tolerance, politeness, helpfulness, honesty, friendliness, empathy, and sympathy. The impact of mental health on their parenting can be prevented by implementing inclusive parenting that emphasizes the practice of cultural diversity, values, and beliefs in their family environment. Hopefully, these findings can provide an essential understanding of the religious differences that affect the upbringing of children of different faith families, providing insight for anthropology and psychology practitioners on the importance of understanding aspects of religion in supporting child development.

Abstract

This research focuses on explaining the concept of recycled farming according to Dayak Kanayatn and its Cultural Dimensions. Talking about the Dayak Kanayatn cannot be separated from all their life activities. One of their most significant life activities is the farming practices of the Dayak Kanayatn tribe, which is rich in ritual ceremonies. The ceremony signifies the human relationship with nature and all its contents. Apart from that, the activities of the Kanayatn Dayak tribe, which are also essential to discuss, are economic activities. Supported by natural conditions, the Dayak people depend on the recycling farming system for their economy. However, the problem that arose later was the recycling farming system of the Dayaks, who were accused of destroying nature, encroaching on forests, and illegal loggers, thus disturbing and destroying nature. If we open history again, the Dayak tribe has managed nature in this way for centuries but has not caused any damage to nature. Departing from this accusation, the researcher explains how the Dayak Kanayatn people wisely manage nature with recycled farming. This paper aims to respond to accusations of Kanayatn Dayak as natural destroyers of their farming system. Then he wanted to explore one of the cultures of the Dayak people, especially the Kanayatn Dayak, which was almost extinct due to the times. Furthermore, it introduces the Dayak-style culture of nature management through the recycled farming tradition the Kanayatn Dayak represents. The author uses qualitative research methods and critical reading of the text without ignoring the author’s experiences and observations as a Dayak son. The findings of this paper are that the Dayak Kanayatn farming system not only reveals economic activity but also reveals community socio-cultural and religious activities. From how they work the fields with the balale’ system, it is implied that they are solid in solidarity with others. It was there that their solid community life was revealed based on kinship and brotherhood.

Abstract

Ar palm plants have benefits for the Banjar people, but their utilisation is not widely known in local wisdom-based ethnobotanical studies. This study aims to describe 6 aspects of ethnobotanical studies of sugar palm plants in Banyu Irang Village, Bati-bati District, Tanah Laut Regency, South Kalimantan. This research is a field research using snowball sampling method with data collection techniques of observation, semi-structured interview, and documentation. The results of botanical studies show that this plant is a palm tree with fibrous roots and erect trunks. Ethnopharmacologically, aren palm plants are used for traditional medicine, especially to aid digestion and detoxification. In ethnosocio-anthropological studies, aren palm plants are used in various traditional ceremonies and mystical beliefs, such as its fibre rope that is believed to ward off misfortune. In ethnoeconomic studies, aren palm plants can be made into various processed foods, such as brown sugar (gula habang), a drink called banyu lahang, and kolang-kaling. In ethnolinguistic studies, local people call this plant by the term Hanau, which has been passed down from generation to generation. Ethnoecological studies show that palm trees thrive in riverbank and swamp environments. This research is expected to contribute to the conservation of palm trees while maintaining the local wisdom of the people of Banyu Irang Village.

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to understand the implementation of the Batumbang Apam ritual in Malay ethnic weddings in Banjar Serasan Subdistrict, East Pontianak District, using a descriptive qualitative approach. The study involved three informants: one key informant and two supporting informants. The findings indicate that the Batumbang Apam ritual consists of three stages. The initial process includes preparing and cleaning coconut fronds and sugarcane stalks, preparing apam cakes and other complementary cakes, and arranging seven sheets of fabric for the bride and groom to sit on. The core process involves reciting the Yasin prayer and circling the coconut fronds seven times in succession. The final process consists of a collective prayer led by the ritual guide and communal dining with invited guests. The ritual serves several functions: socially, it strengthens family bonds through mutual assistance and togetherness; religiously, it reinforces faith in Allah, seeking His blessings for safety and smooth proceedings; and environmentally, it highlights the use of natural elements such as water, air, trees, and soil, with coconut fronds and sugarcane stalks symbolizing divine creation. Symbolically, the apam cake, with its sweetness, softness, and richness, represents the hope that these qualities will be present in the couple's married life, while the strong and resilient nature of coconut fronds symbolizes the wish for the couple to have endurance and longevity in their marriage.

Abstract

 The Nyolat traditional ceremony is a form of culture as a system that becomes a habitus in the Uud Danum Dayak community. This habitus has existed for a long time by the ancestors and until now it has become a culture that has always been maintained. Changing times are indeed recognized as a challenge to the existence of maintaining that ancestral tradition. However, this is not a reason to eliminate a culture that has been rooted since ancient times. Its uniqueness as one of the traditions becomes its own uniqueness as the local wisdom of the indigenous Dayak Uud Danum community. The philosophical meaning or symbol of the message that is about to be expressed becomes the fruit of the philosophical reflection of humans wanting to express their relationship with nature and Mohotalak (God). Also at this level, the Nyolat traditional ceremony, which is a symbol and uniqueness for the Uud Danum Dayak community, is an important part of seeing a deeper correlation to human death. This means that humans do not only reach death, but after humans die, they will experience a further pilgrimage to eternal Betang (Heaven) to unite with Mohotalak (God). On the same occasion, the expression in the form of representation of the Nyola traditional ceremony is a form of expression of love for the family, accompanying or praying for their deceased relatives so that they will receive forgiveness and be accepted in the presence of the Existing One of all that is.

Abstract

The original title of this book is "Ethnography: Step by Step (Fourth Edition)" written by David M. Fetterman, an experienced practitioner and professor of anthropology. David"™s work not only provides a detailed step-by-step guide to conduct ethnographic research but also offers insightful conceptual and theoretical discussions alongside contemporary issues. It is no wonder that the book may fill the lack of the Indonesian language (bahasa Indonesia) book on ethnographic research methods, hence I recommend this book to all Indonesian ethnographers and anthropologists who teach ethnographic research and writing.

Abstract

This study is the most recent exposition of the Malapas tradition of the Dayak Kanayatn tribe in West Kalimantan. Malapas is an act of anticipating the occurrence of Sumpanan because of not having time to eat or drink something that is desired by oneself or offered by others. The purpose of this study was to determine the motives of Dayak Kanayatn students, who are migrants in the city of Malang, East Java, who still maintain the Malapas tradition. This study uses a qualitative method to obtain a rich picture and description of the respondents. Data collection was carried out by distributing an open questionnaire in the form of a Google Forms to Dayak Kanayatn students who are studying and living in the city of Malang. The data analysis of this study used Clifford Geertz’s Thick Description theory. The results of the study show that there are six motives for students of the Dayak Kanayatn tribe, who are migrants in the city of Malang, East Java, to still maintain the Malapas tradition: (1) so as not to be a Sumpanan, (2) as a form of respecting gifts or offers of food and drink from other people, (3) as a form of respecting ancestral traditions, (4) to affirm their identity as Dayak Kanayatn people, (5) to build solidarity, (6) because it has become a habit so that it becomes a spontaneous reaction or reflex. The results of this study indicate that knowledge and awareness of local traditions among the Dayak Kanayatn tribe, who are migrants, is still very strong. This is an important capital for preserving traditions in this era of modernization.

Abstract

This study explores the role of the Majelis Adat Budaya Melayu (MABM) of Singkawang City in preserving the Saprahan tradition, which constitutes an essential element of Malay Sambas cultural identity. MABM Singkawang, established as a traditional institution in 2007, is dedicated to safeguarding and revitalizing Malay customs, values, and cultural expressions in the midst of modernization and multicultural dynamics in Singkawang. The research employed a descriptive qualitative method, with data collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and document analysis involving seven informants representing key cultural stakeholders. Data were analyzed through reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing to provide a holistic understanding. Findings reveal that MABM carries out three major roles: providing understanding, supervising, and fostering preservation of Saprahan. The role of providing understanding is realized through educational seminars, cultural festivals, and community outreach programs that raise awareness about the values embedded in Saprahan, such as togetherness, mutual respect, and cooperation. The supervisory role is conducted through regular meetings, participation in community events, and direct monitoring to ensure that Saprahan remains aligned with its original cultural values. Meanwhile, fostering efforts are implemented through guidance programs in schools, cultural competitions like Besurong Saprah, and youth engagement activities aimed at transmitting cultural pride to younger generations. These strategies demonstrate MABM"™s commitment to ensuring the sustainability of Saprahan not only as a ritual of communal dining but also as a living tradition that strengthens social bonds, reinforces cultural identity, and contributes to the resilience of Malay heritage in Singkawang. This study highlights the importance of customary institutions as mediators of cultural continuity and provides insights into how traditional practices can be adapted and preserved in a rapidly changing social context.
