Abstract

Initiatives to promote democracy in Indonesia continue to face several difficulties and hurdles. One of the major concerns is the emergence of radical ideas arising and hiding under the guise of democracy. Due to globalization, radicalism has evolved rapidly and taken on new forms. Considerable efforts are needed to maintain democratization in Indonesia, according to Pancasila, the foundational philosophical theory. This qualitative research uses descriptive analysis and data-gathering methods based on a review of current literature, such as news, journal articles, and books. The findings show that radical ideology in Indonesia has evolved and penetrated government bodies and people’s social lives. Terrorist-affiliated radical organizations, many of which have been disbanded, morphed into different forms to adapt to the community’s social lives. The transformation of radicalism in Indonesia necessitates a concerted effort on the part of the government as a state entity capable of deradicalizing education and preventing radical ideology.

Abstract

The release of the Province of East Timor from Indonesia in 1999 resulted in the displacement of East Timorese from the East Timor region to several provinces in Indonesia. Some refugees remained in Indonesia and chose to become Indonesian citizens. As new citizens, the former East Timor refugees experienced a struggle to foster a sense of nationalism toward Indonesia. This article originates from the results of qualitative reflective research using literature data and archival notes from former East Timor refugees, which were analyzed using ethnographic content analysis and rhetorical analysis methods. The study concludes that memories of past life in East Timor and the present reality of life in ex-refugee settlements in Indonesia generate diverse imaginations about Indonesia. To build a sense of nationality, the former East Timorese refugees must reconstruct their imaginations about Indonesia based on the past and present realities they have experienced, which are not all imaginary.

Abstract

Cultural practices surrounding traditional medicine using amphibians in Indonesia are practices that can be found in several regions with diverse contexts. In the buffer zone of Bukit Barisan Selatan National Park, this practice is found with diversity among residents near and far from the buffer zone. With an orientation towards highlighting their significance to community health and social life, this research focuses on the local knowledge system regarding health and healing. Applying qualitative research uses informant s as data source. and the data collecting uses interviews, the findings of this study show that the local knowledge system regarding amphibians is as a food and medicinal material. Knowledge systems are determined by people's knowledge and involvement with the work they do. The impact of the knowledge system about the benefits of amphibians has implications for the attitudes of local residents towards amphibians and the environment in which they live. The implications of this knowledge system among  local  community are environmental conservation and life sustainability.

Abstract

Dewala and Ina Leta mean stone walls and mother village, respectively. These are monuments that symbolize “the beginning of life” narrative of the Tounwawan people of Moa Islands, Maluku, Indonesia. This first settlement narrative has become the collective memory of the Tounwawan community. It preserves their socio-cultural identity and helps them understand their roles and positions, perceiving themselves and others living together in the same environment. The research method used in this study is a qualitative approach with a phenomenological type. The data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation. The research results show that the Tounwawan people preserve Dewala and Ina Leta to symbolize the origin of their lives, elements of collective memory that can endure the test of time. The findings also show that the Tounwawan people maintain their intersubjective relations, which allows the noble values represented by these two monuments to be passed down as interpretable knowledge and experiences for the following generation.

Abstract

Government programs in agriculture, such as extension and seed and fertilizer assistance, have increased maize production, but also threaten the preservation of traditional wisdom. This article discusses intractable pest infestations as a major problem in maize farming in Molamahu Village, Gorontalo Regency, Gorontalo Province. Although many agricultural technologies have been developed, they have not been able to effectively control these pests. This study aims to explore the use of traditional methods by farmers in overcoming pest problems, as well as to demonstrate the effectiveness of local wisdom in this context. A qualitative approach was used by interviewing senior farmers and observing the practices of young farmers. The results of this study present clear and structured findings regarding the effectiveness of traditional methods in controlling maize pests. This study found that some traditional methods previously considered irrational turned out to have a robust scientific basis. These results confirm that local knowledge has great potential to strengthen eco-friendly pest control strategies in maize farming. The finding in this research underscores the importance of recognizing and utilizing local wisdom in the development of sustainable agricultural technology.

Abstract

The Kajang people are known for their lives based on traditional values, traditional beliefs, and distinctive local wisdom. They are here to preserve traditions amidst the blows of globalization. With this local wisdom, researchers are interested in analyzing the social construction of the Kajang traditional community to maintain their local wisdom. This research used a qualitative approach through participant observation, in-depth interviews, and data analysis using grounded theory analysis techniques. The research results show that the Kajang indigenous community faced challenges in maintaining their local wisdom amidst social changes and external influences. However, with its social construction, it maintained local wisdom through externalization, objectivation, and internalization processes. With this social construction approach, the Kajang traditional community can show resilience and initiative to preserve local wisdom and strengthen social ties between community members. This research will not only provide new insights into the local wisdom of the Kajang people in efforts to preserve culture, community development, and policy development in Indonesia.

Abstract

Women's involvement in the Forum of Religious Harmony (Forum Kerukunan Umat Beragama - FKUB) is still rare. However, some FKUBs exhibit openness to women’s engagement. This study examines whether women’s involvement in the FKUB challenges the dominant beliefs and behaviors within religious groups and whether their involvement creates possibilities for change and contestation. Using a case study on the FKUB Bali and Sidoarjo and leveraging the theory from gender and masculinity studies to help frame the analysis, the study revealed two strategies used to involve women, which included forming a separate entity exclusively for women and developing an expanded familial framework inside FKUB. The findings also show that women's involvement is encouraged without altering the current structures. However, this study also discovered that the transformative masculinity exhibited by certain chairpersons contributed to the implementation of these strategies. They were strongly dedicated to gender equality, advocated for women's empowerment and involvement, and prioritized sustainable dispute resolution development. This study highlights the potential to expand research to include more cases, providing deeper insight into inclusion strategies and the role of transformative masculinity in progress toward gender equality._______________The original draft of this article has been presented at the 23rd Annual International Conference on Islamic Studies (AICIS), February 1-4, 2024, at Universitas Islam Negeri Walisongo Semarang, Indonesia.
Autonomy or Submission? The Position of Women in the Tradition of Londho iha (Elopement) in Bima, West Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia Izzah, Iva Yulianti Umdatul; Senjaya, Tiara; Amaliyah, Ridha

Abstract

The practice of elopement among the Bima people is closely tied to traditional dynamics, local norms, legal frameworks, and religion. This study examines the role of women in elopement and whether it is a form of autonomy or submission. Using qualitative research methods, the study focuses on elopement (londho iha) in Samili Village, located in Woha District, Bima Regency, West Nusa Tenggara. The findings reveal that women occupy a nuanced position in londho iha, one that is both autonomous and submissive. On the one hand, this tradition can be interpreted as a way for women to express their autonomy in choosing a life partner. On the other hand, it functions as a social mechanism that subjects women to customary and social pressures. Women in the londho iha tradition are complex subjects. They have the agency to make decisions, but these decisions are often constrained by patriarchal norms that govern their lives. Londho iha is not merely a patriarchal tradition, but also a space in which Bima women strive to exercise their agency within the constraints of a complex social system. Women's agency in londho iha is ambivalent. It can liberate them, but it can also trap them within patriarchal structures. Thus, this practice should be understood as a dynamic interplay of power, culture, and the acting subject rather than as a manifestation of total domination or absolute freedom.

Abstract

The evolution of Papuan independence values illustrates a historical transition from traditional cosmological beliefs, linking freedom to ancestors, land, and nature, to modern political aspirations. Influences from missionary education, colonial governance, and contemporary political systems have reshaped these values, leading to the rise of ethnonationalist consciousness. This study aims to analyze how traditional religious conceptions of freedom shifted toward demands for political sovereignty within a post-secular social context. A qualitative exploratory approach was applied, using expert interviews with traditional leaders, religious figures, youth leaders, activists, and government officials in Manokwari and Jayawijaya, complemented by literature review and NVivo-assisted coding. The findings show that traditional religious values—expressed through rituals such as koreri—were secularized and reinterpreted as political symbols. This transformation strengthened Papuan ethnonationalism and contributed to prolonged conflict, especially after dissatisfaction with Penentuan Pendapat Rakyat (PEPERA) and the emergence of movements such as OPM. The study implies that understanding the Papuan conflict requires acknowledging the spiritual foundations of political aspirations.

Abstract

Efforts to enhance a creative economy via community-based ecotourism are vital for regional development. Using a qualitative method, this study examines the state of ecotourism, indigenous community involvement, and the challenges faced in fostering creative economy practices in Youtefa Bay Park. The findings highlight the area's potential to boost the local economy through ecotourism that integrates indigenous knowledge, exploiting its natural beauty, cultural assets, and historical heritage. Collaborative management involving the government, private sector, and local communities is essential for sustainable growth. The study emphasizes the need for local regulations and initiatives to increase regional income and development, demonstrating ecotourism's role as a driver for economic and cultural preservation in Papua. The collaborative model in tourism management with recognition of customary assets in Youtefa Bay has become an urgent demand for the government to establish a blueprint for inclusive and community rights-based ecotourism development policies within the framework of special autonomy.
