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

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.

Abstract

This article examines the reconstruction of stakeholder confidence in the collaborative governance process for the sustainability of child-friendly cities in new industrial communities. Research problems are due to the implications of the growth of new industrial societies, differences and conflicts of interest between stakeholders, child growth and development problems, high stunting, juvenile delinquency, street children, and parenting patterns that are not by needs. This study aims to analyze the reconstruction of stakeholder trust in creating awareness and shared commitment to collaborative governance processes to realize the sustainability of child-friendly cities. The research method is qualitative, research data is collected through in-depth interviews and focus group discussions (FGD). The results of the study show that collaborative governance processes are faced with different interest gaps that result in a lack of trust and commitment to realizing a child-friendly city. A joint forum among stakeholders in the child-friendliness campaign efforts has been organized but shows no signs of effectiveness. The lack of synergy between local governments and industry players is present, therefore efforts to rebuild trust in realizing the sustainability of a child-friendly environment need to be optimized through communication, openness, social responsibility, and supervision of local governments.

Abstract

Adolescents' involvement as perpetrators of criminality in Indonesia has gone beyond the patterns of deviant behavior and actions categorized as juvenile delinquency. Adolescents' involvement as perpetrators of criminality has not been given much scientific attention in previous studies. This study focuses on the question, "How is the involvement of adolescents as perpetrators of criminality that occurs in Indonesia?" This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach to exploring the forms, characteristics, and factors that influence a teenager to become a perpetrator of criminality disseminated through online media coverage. The collection and reading of online news focused on news titles containing criminality cases involving teenagers by using the search keyword "Involvement of teenagers as perpetrators of criminality in Indonesia" on the Google search engine. The findings in this study show that the involvement of teenagers as perpetrators of criminality has gone beyond the deviant behavior patterns of juvenile delinquency. The context can be reflected through the forms and characteristics of the acts committed by teenagers, ranging from maltreatment, drug abuse, to murder. This study also recommends the importance of looking at the welfare of adolescents as perpetrators of criminality and the law enforcement process to obtain a comprehensive and more empirical understanding.

Abstract

This research focuses on the perspective of indigenous ecologies to see how the Lembata people maintain and care for their relationship with nature. The research located in the Lebatukan District highlands area of Lembata Regency in East Nusa Tenggara Province of Indonesia. The Lo Tiwa ritual is carried out by the Lembata people when pests attack their crops. When snails were attacking rice plants, people realized that they could eradicate the slugs through modern ways. However, they also realized that with the pesticide technology, the life of snails was threatened with extinction, which is considered unwise in preserving the local environment. Instead, they raised this issue on the altar of the Lo Tiwa ritual. In this way, preserving the relationship between humans and nature has happened, which is an integral part of environmental studies. Snails as pests are not killed, and rice plants are free from pests. In the Indonesian context, this research finds its context in efforts to promote a culture where the government wants to place culture, including rituals, as one of the essential forces in development. Apart from rituals, other cultural promotion objects include; oral traditions, manuscripts, customs, folk games, traditional sports, traditional knowledge, arts, and languages.
