Abstract

The purpose this research is to determine the significance of the Betangas tradition's values, meanings, and processions among the Sambas Malay population in West Kalimantan province. The examine method used is a qualitative research method with a descriptive research type. The examine approach employed is qualitative using a descriptive study design. The Betangas tradition is generally carried out when there is a wedding celebration, especially in the Sambas area. The purpose of the Betangas tradition is being replaced by grooming equipment for the bride and groom when approaching the wedding. This is because Betangas have the goal of reducing excessive body odor and cleansing the body of both the bride and groom who will carry out the wedding and the special assumptions of the Sambas people. This study obtained results in the meaning of Betangas as a form of gratitude to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'alla for the Sambas Malay community, who are mostly Muslim and as a request for the two bride and groom to live a household life. While the function of the Betangas procession is to reduce sweating and cleanse the body's unpleasant odor caused by human sweat. Generally, the Betangas tradition is carried out for the bride and groom, but it is possible that anyone can carry out this tradition. The Betangas tradition is carried out from generation to generation and is still strong in the Sambas region in the Sambas Malay community as local wisdom that is still alive amidst the currents of globalization.

Abstract

Ethnic diversity is one of the outstanding characteristics of Indonesian culture. Diversity creates potential challenges and opportunities in the multi-cultural ethnic relations, with positive and negative social capital forming among ethnic groups. The ethnic cultural claim is principally pronounced with the kingship ties that bind the family in the Semende people. They are depicted by the unique Tunggu Tubang family tie system, in which normally the eldest female sibling in a family becomes the main guardian of all family members when the parents have become less able to manage the family house, yard, family agricultural fields,  gardens and foremost the caring of brothers and sisters if in need. This paper is based on the research in the geographical location of the Tanjung Raja district in North Lampung, where one of the sub-districts is inhabited by the Semende people. This study used an ethnographic approach with participatory observation techniques and in-depth interviews of key informants. This research explores the cultural identity of the Jeme Semende diaspora by reconnoitering the knowledge of the actors of what and how these cultural customs are understood and applied in daily life. The research conclusion indicates that the Jeme Semende's cultural identity is maintained despite being surrounded by other ethnic groups in Tanjung Raja. And how "Semendeanness" is constructed in such a way that sometimes manifests as a form of identity supported with their oral myth origins combined with the identity raised in the Semende’s Kuntaw martial arts.

Abstract

The local community’s culture has been recognized as playing an essential role in achieving food security. This study attempts to demystify a cultural tradition among an Indonesian agriculture society, called Mekambare, that plays such a role in sustainable agricultural management. It was conducted in East Kolaka Regency, an area dominated by lowland rice farmers. Framed in a qualitative method, this study used observation, in-depth interviews, and document studies as techniques of data collection. The results showed that Mekambare played a crucial role in forming social solidarity among lowland rice farming communities. Through Mekambare, farming communities build mutual cooperation and support one another in overcoming challenges related to supplying food demands. This social solidarity is manifested in the exchange of food commodities, social support, and the dissemination of traditional knowledge in agricultural management. With Mekambare, the lowland rice farming communities maintain the balance of the agricultural ecosystem by utilizing natural predators, utilizing organic fertilizers from livestock manure, and implementing integrated weed control. This research can make a positive contribution to efforts to achieve sustainable food security and the welfare of farming communities in East Kolaka Regency.

Abstract

Whether or not a policy is effective can be caused by implementing factors. The implementation implementer referred to as the street bureaucracy is the link between the bureaucracy and the community. In such relationships are influenced by the culture of each. This article discusses the implementation of stunting handling in West Pasaman District, West Sumatra Province. The objectives of this article are: describe the implementation of stunting handling policies by implementers and explain the acceptance of targets to the policy implementation program. This article is based on research using qualitative methods with an ethnographic approach. The research data were collected by observation techniques and in-depth interviews. The results showed that the implementation of stunting prevention in West Pasaman has been formally carried out well. The Regional Apparatus Organization involved and the implementation officer at the spearhead are working seriously with each of their duties. This has made the Regional Government of West Pasaman Regency ranked first in the Convergence Action to Accelerate Stunting Reduction 4 times in a row from 2019 to 2022. However, people in Nagari who are the locus of stunting feel that the program approach actually makes the target community (especially those with stunting children) feel depressed and intimidated, causing resistance to posyandu activities. So it can be said that the implementation of stunting prevention carried out is less effective.

Abstract

Indonesia, as the sixth largest tobacco-producing country in the world, has participated in the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) by issuing compromise regulations through Government Regulation (PP) No. 109 of 2012. This regulation regulates restrictions on tobacco production and distribution of products made from tobacco raw materials. Furthermore, PP No. 109 of 2012 determines the increases in tobacco excise rates and the determination of limits on nicotine levels also sparked unrest among tobacco farmers in the Temanggung area. This article attempts to explain the insistence of farmers, especially in the eastern slope of Mount Sumbing, Pagergunung Village, Bulu District, Temanggung, in maintaining tobacco cultivation even though they are faced with an anti-tobacco campaign from the FCTC. The continued cultivation of tobacco can be understood as a form of regimen of cultivated plants. This article is an anthropological study with a regimentation theoretical perspective and ethnographic approach as a research method which presents the research results. From this research, it is known that the cultivation regimen is controlled by mythology, tobacco trade tricks, and the pretext of tradition as a socio-cultural surplus.
