Abstract

For the Minangkabau indigenous people, property in the form of customary land is an integrated and inseparable customary component. However, agrarian conflicts often erupt, including on customary land. This is the background for the birth of the Nagari Customary Land Management Certification policy by the Ministry of Agrarian Spatial Planning / National Land (ATR/BPN) Agency to provide legal certainty to Indigenous peoples—the Nagari Sungai Kamuyang Customary Land Certificate for an area of 371,095 m2. In the implementation, Bundo Kanduang and Farmer Groups decline this policy. Through ethnographic methods, the basic arguments of each party can be revealed through their interactions with customary land, such as in management cooperation, payment of land interest, and types of plants reviewed based on Nagari Sungai Kamuyang Regulation Number 1 of 2003. These three groups interpret land as property rights, and rejection is based on arguments that tend to be resistant, such as certainty in the certificate format, certainty of the subject, and sentiments on efforts to privatize Nagari Customary Land. In contrast to the Nagari Government and Badan Pengawas Ulayat, this certification is a reality because the Nagari Customary Land only authorizes the Right to use the Nagari Sungai Kamuyang Community.

Abstract

This study describes the process of participation of the indigenous people of the Asmat group of Pomar Sirau in participatory mapping and analyzes their participation rate based on the Arnstein Degree of Participation. Using a qualitative approach with a case study method, data was collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observations, Focus Group Discussions (FGDs), and document studies. The results of the study show that community participation takes place through several stages, starting from community awareness of threats to customary lands, community initiatives in voicing problems, to active involvement in mapping customary territories. Based on the Arnstein Degree of Participation, community participation is at the level of "Citizen Power," where they have full control over the mapping and decision-making process related to indigenous territories. This study confirms that participatory mapping is an important instrument in the protection of customary rights and cultural identity of indigenous peoples. It is hoped that there will be policy support, community capacity building, collaboration with various parties, and knowledge regeneration to ensure the protection and sustainability of the rights and culture of the indigenous people of Asmat.

Abstract

Child neglect in families caught up in loan shark debt is an increasingly worrying social phenomenon in Ngajum Village, Malang District. Economic pressure due to loan shark debt not only disrupts the financial stability of the family, but also has an impact on neglecting the physical and psychological needs of children. This study aims to understand parents' subjective experiences of child neglect due to the pressure of loan shark debt. This research employs a qualitative approach, utilizing Edmund Husserl's phenomenological method through in-depth interviews and participatory observation of selected informants. The results show that the burden of debt causes family dysfunction, with the main focus of parents on debt repayment, so that the needs of children are neglected. Children experience emotional uncertainty, minimal communication with parents, physical and psychological abuse, and limited fulfillment of basic needs. Furthermore, this study reveals that the experience of neglect committed by parents due to loan sharks' debts contributes to social stigmatization, internal justification for neglect, and emotional disconnection between parents and children. These findings highlight the importance of enhancing financial literacy in families to prevent its impact on child neglect. This research contributes to broadening the understanding of the impact of loan shark debt on family dynamics from a phenomenological perspective and encourages the birth of social interventions that are more empathetic and contextual.

Abstract

This study examines the role of the East Lombok government and Muhammadiyah in addressing child marriage within the Sasak community, with particular attention to the culturally embedded practice of Merariq. Conducted over two months of fieldwork between January and February 2025, the research employed a qualitative design that combined document analysis, participatory observation, and in-depth interviews with ten local community members, two religious leaders, and five government officials. Data were analyzed using an iterative coding process beginning with open coding to identify emergent patterns, followed by focused coding aligned with Bourdieu’s framework supplemented by theoretical triangulation to enhance analytical rigor. The findings indicate that although legal frameworks have been formally implemented, their effectiveness is hindered by entrenched cultural norms, economic pressures, and the coexistence of overlapping legal systems. In contrast, Muhammadiyah’s initiatives, particularly its reinterpretation of Islamic values and its community-based family-strengthening programs, have demonstrated greater cultural resonance and have offered practical alternatives to early marriage. These insights underscore the necessity for culturally sensitive and multi-institutional approaches that effectively integrate statutory enforcement, religious authority, and community engagement. The study contributes to broader discussions on child marriage prevention by illustrating how tradition, law, and religion interact within pluralistic societies, and by providing actionable pathways for local institutions to reduce child marriage while honoring cultural heritage.

Abstract

This study examines how local wisdom-based conservation in the Wonosadi Customary Forest contributes to the fulfilment of the constitutional right to a good and healthy environment in Indonesia. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and document analysis conducted between February and June 2025. Fifteen informants were purposively selected, including traditional leaders, members of the forest management group, residents, and village officials. Data were analyzed thematically through coding, categorization, and interpretation, supported by methodological and source triangulation. The findings demonstrate that local values, such as pamali (customary prohibitions), rituals, and customary institutions, form a participatory governance system that effectively regulates forest use and maintains ecological balance. Conservation practices have improved vegetation cover, air quality, and spring water availability while reducing ecological risks such as floods and landslides. These efforts also support community welfare through agroforestry and the sustainable use of non-timber forest products. Overall, the model contributes to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 3, 6, 13, 14, and 15, demonstrating that conservation rooted in local wisdom can serve as an effective and adaptive strategy for sustainable resource management. However, its long-term success depends on strong social institutions, intergenerational knowledge transmission, and cultural cohesion.

Abstract

This study examines Tanjungbalai, a border city on the eastern coast of Sumatra, as an active producer of border practices rather than a passive periphery of the Indonesian state. Using long-term ethnographic fieldwork involving participant observation, in-depth interviews, and documentary analysis, the research reveals how residents negotiate and reinterpret state boundaries in their everyday lives. The findings show that the city’s spatial orientation is fundamentally maritime: informal ports (tangkahan) function as the true centers of mobility and trade, embodying deliberate strategies of spatial illegibility that resist state surveillance. The informal economies of undocumented motorcycles and used clothing further demonstrate how activities deemed illegal by the state become locally licit within a moral economy shaped by survival and limited formal opportunities. Dense transnational kinship networks linking Indonesia and Malaysia act as critical urban infrastructure, circulating capital, labor, and protection across the strait. At the same time, the region’s porosity has enabled the rise of large-scale narcotics trafficking and digital fraud, positioning the city within broader criminal geographies. Overall, the study argues that Tanjungbalai is a dynamic social laboratory where legality, mobility, and identity are continuously contested and remade.
