Abstract

Child rearing practices among young mothers and young fathers in Sundanese semi-rural areas are changing rapidly, shaped by social transformation, digital media, and modern medical knowledge. While most studies focus on parenting as a way to preserve cultural values, this article examines how young mothers and young fathers are adapting their practices amid semi-urban change and what happens to local values such as pamali, extended family roles, and the use of the Sundanese language in everyday family life.Using ethnographic approach, this study was conducted in Cileles Village, West Java Province. Data was collected through participant observation and in-depth interviews with five mothers and three fathers who have children under five years old.The results show that child rearing practices have become an arena for cultural selection and rationalization. Young mothers and young fathers tend to adopt child rearing practices informed by digital knowledge and information, which are considered more relevant to children's growth and development needs. Sundanese cultural values such as silih asah, silih asih, and silih asuh are still recognized symbolically, but have undergone changes in form and in the intensity of their application. Shifts are evident in child stimulation practices, sleep arrangements, language use within the family, and less involvement of the extended family in child rearing. Rather than openly rejecting tradition, young mothers and young fathers engage in gradual and selective adaptations that subtly reconfigure child rearing as a medium of cultural inheritance. This study demonstrates that the transformation of Sundanese culture occurs not only in public or institutional domains but also within the domestic sphere. In the context of semi-urbanization, everyday parenting practices become an early locus of cultural change with long-term implications for cultural sustainability.

Abstract

On a fundamental level, the conceptualization of social capital has been developed by various prominent thinkers. While previous studies have mainly discussed social capital through networks, trust, participation, and institutional access, This article offers a different reading by treating it as a classificatory discourse that ranks social relations and shapes how community life is recognized in development. It examines the concept of social capital in Southeast Asian development discourse. The objective is to reconsider social capital as a concept that not only describes cooperation, but also influences how development understands community, inequality, and institutional access. The study uses a qualitative and interpretive method based on critical document analysis. It reads theoretical works on social capital, critical development literature, and studies on Southeast Asian development through a post-structuralist approach. The analysis is organized around three themes: social capital as a governing vocabulary, the hierarchy of bonding, bridging, and linking ties, and the marginalization of informal and vernacular practices. The findings show that social capital became influential because it offered a practical language for participation, trust, and community-based development. However, this language can also recast structural inequality as weak community capacity. In Southeast Asia, kinship, religious mutual aid, migrant networks, adat authority, patronage, and informal welfare are often less valued when they do not fit formal development categories. The article argues for a more critical sociology of social capital that places networks within power, recognition, and inequality,

Abstract

Organizational culture in social service institutions is not merely a static administrative framework but a living system of shared meanings constructed through daily interactions. While studies on nursing homes have documented various institutional frameworks, research that specifically examines organizational culture through the intersection of intergenerational women's leadership and cultural transmission within a historically rooted, female-exclusive nursing home remains scarce. This study addresses this gap by exploring how intergenerational women’s leadership shapes the representation of organizational culture and communication practices at Panti Sosial Tresna Wredha Budi Pertiwi, an institution that has maintained a unique intergenerational women's leadership model since 1947. Specifically, this study aims to analyze this representation through Edgar Schein’s three levels of culture: artifacts, espoused values, and basic underlying assumptions. Using a qualitative approach with an ethnography of communication lens, data were gathered through in-depth interviews, field observations, and documentary studies. Data were analyzed using a qualitative flow model, structured around Edgar Schein’s three-level framework of culture. The findings reveal that the institution's resilience is sustained through four interconnected dimensions. First, intergenerational women's leadership serves as the historical and relational foundation of the institution, positioning leaders as guardians of tradition rather than mere administrators. Second, this leadership fosters a distinct organizational culture built upon shared values of gotong royong, sincerity, and respect for the elderly's dignity. Third, this culture is enacted through communication practices that are highly dialogical, egalitarian, and rooted in collective decision-making, creating a family-like atmosphere among administrators, staff, and residents. Fourth, these dynamics are systematically manifested through Schein's three levels of culture: spiritual artifacts that build sisterhood, the aforementioned espoused values, and the basic underlying assumption that caregiving is an act of sacred devotion. Consequently, the integration of these four dimensions allows the nursing home to preserve its historical identity across generations.
