Abstract

This article examines the changes and reconstruction of gender roles in Siri’ na Pacceculture, a tradition rich in cultural and social values, in the modern era. The research employs a qualitative approach using observation, interview and content analysis techniques to gain an in-depth understanding of how gender roles in Siri’ na Pacce Culture have transformed, as well as the challenges and opportunities it faces in the modern era. The results show that Siri’ na Pacce culture has undergone a process of gender role reconstruction influenced by various factors, including globalization, modernization, and evolving social dynamics. Although there have been significant changes in gender perceptions and practices, the tradition also faces challenges in maintaining its cultural values and norms amidst modernization. The study also identifies new opportunities that have emerged in the reconstruction of gender roles in Siri’ na Pacce culture, such as women’s active participation in traditional activities that were previously considered male-dominated, as well as the adoption of more inclusive and egalitarian gender values in society. As such, this article makes an important contribution to the understanding of the dynamics of gender roles in Siri’ na Pacce culture in the modern era, as well as highlighting the challenges and opportunities faced in the reconstruction process. The implications of these findings can guide efforts to preserve and develop sustainable and inclusive local cultures in the future.

Abstract

This study aims to describe why couples decide to have unmet needs and the impact on the family and the country of these decisions. The study used mixed methods. Qualitative, qualitative and secondary data analysis (quantitative). The results of the study High unmet need does not always lead to high fertility. Education, high female labor participation, and female empowerment are among the supporting factors. Independent women have a unique perspective in interpreting children. Women have the capacity to decide and analyze the presence of children. When a child is considered a burden on the family, it will be limited to have children. There's a group that identifies themselves as unmet need, but the TFR rate in a region remains stable. The willingness to spread children apart, or not have more children, and sexual intercourse without contraceptives have high no-birth outcomes. The conclusion is that not all unmet need contributes to a high TFR. Sexual intercourse without contraceptives, and still making TFR stable can be a new discourse for reproductive health issues of the people who use it.This study aims to describe why couples decide to have unmet needs and the impact on the family and the country of these decisions.

Abstract

Therefore, this study aimed to analyze the meaning of the movement in waste management and the broader impact of similar initiatives across the city of Bandung. Adopting Herbert Blumer's Symbolic Interactionism theory, the study analyzed the society's interpretation of the "Kang PisMan" movement, through the exploration of diverse experiences and perceptions of the community, the underlying actions and subsequent responses originating from this definition were further investigated. The results showed that the community participation in the "Kang PisMan" movement was influenced by the meaning as an initiative addressing waste management, providing benefits, and emphasizing collective responsibility. The implications of this meaning on waste management movements lay in fostering community contribution based on awareness, thereby enabling the initiative to implement sustainability.

Abstract

Context significantly influences the effectiveness of adolescent reproductive health (ARH) promotion. Successful efforts to improve ARH quality often overlook broader environmental factors, with local contexts frequently being the root causes. Understanding these contextual factors is crucial for effective improvements. This study aimed to explore ARH promotion based on the local knowledge of the Tengger people using a case study approach. Interviews were conducted with key stakeholders (n=2), parents (n=2), and adolescents (n=2). Results indicated that cultural and religious values are deeply integrated into ARH promotion. Four central foundations underpin these efforts: cultural identity, social control, harmony, and full participation. Cultural identity focuses on preserving and transmitting local traditions and values. Social control involves both structured community rules and unwritten norms that guide behavior. Harmony emphasizes maintaining balance and peace, crucial for collective well-being. Full participation ensures adolescents are engaged in community activities, fostering a sense of belonging and responsibility. These findings highlight the necessity of incorporating local cultural into ARH initiatives to enhance effectiveness. Aligning ARH promotion with the values and practices of the Tengger people can lead to better acceptance and sustainability of programs.

Abstract

This article discusses the Lontaraq Meongpalo Karellae manuscript from an anthropological perspective. The manuscript narrates the story of a cat subjected to violence by humans, leading to the descent of celestial beings known as Dewata Sangiangseri to administer 'retribution' against those who mistreat animals. The manuscript also explores the relationships between humans, nature, and other living beings to foster harmonious coexistence for environmental preservation. This narrative imparts ethical lessons from an anthropological and cultural standpoint.The study employs an anthropological approach to analyze cultural practices among the Bugis community, particularly in maintaining harmony among humans, nature, and the surrounding environment. Through the Maddoja Bine ritual, these practices substantiate how the Lontaraq Meongpalo Karellae manuscript provides concrete implications for Bugis ethnic entities to nurture and care for the environment. Furthermore, this research enables a deeper understanding of the dynamics of traditional Bugis society, especially in the contexts of social interaction, family structure, and inherited cultural values. Oral traditions, myths, and rituals constitute integral aspects of the cultural identity of the community, effectively manifesting as relational entities within historical and environmental contexts, thereby underscoring their relevance in contemporary anthropological studies.

Abstract

This research examines the cultural and religious interactions between Muslim and Hindu communities in Makam Medana, North Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara. Using a qualitative method with a case study approach, data was collected through direct observation, in-depth interviews, and document analysis with Fritjof Schuon's theory of social esotericism used as the basis for analysis. The results show that the Medana Tomb serves as an important space for social harmony, where both communities engage in shared spiritual and cultural practices. Through inner experiences that transcend religious, cultural and social boundaries, the tomb serves as a bridge that connects different religions through a universal understanding of divine truth that manifests in different outward forms. These interactions facilitate mutual understanding and respect, and contribute to the formation of an inclusive and harmonious society in North Lombok. This research concludes that Makam Medana offers a model of social harmony that is relevant in a multicultural context.
