Pemenuhan Hak Atas Lingkungan Hidup yang Baik dan Sehat Melalui Konservasi Hutan Adat Wonosadi Berbasis Kearifan Lokal
No full textThis 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.Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis konservasi Hutan Adat Wonosadi berbasis kearifan lokal dalam mewujudkan hak atas lingkungan hidup yang baik dan sehat sebagaimana dijamin dalam konstitusi dan peraturan perundang-undangan nasional. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif dengan pengumpulan data melalui wawancara mendalam dengan masyarakat adat, observasi lapangan, dan studi dokumentasi. Penelitian ini mengkaji integrasi nilai-nilai lokal seperti pamali, ritual adat, lembaga sosial, dan lembaga adat dalam pengelolaan hutan partisipatif oleh masyarakat lokal. Hasilnya menunjukkan bahwa konservasi Wonosadi telah berhasil meningkatkan tutupan vegetasi, memperbaiki kualitas udara, memulihkan sumber air, dan mengurangi risiko bencana ekologis seperti banjir dan tanah longsor. Di sisi lain, model ini juga mendukung hak atas kesehatan, penghidupan yang layak, dan pelestarian budaya melalui praktik agroforestri dan pemanfaatan hasil hutan bukan kayu. Konservasi ini selaras dengan Tujuan Pembangunan Berkelanjutan (SDGs) 3, 6, 13, 14 dan 15. Model Wonosadi membuktikan bahwa pendekatan berbasis kearifan lokal merupakan strategi efektif untuk mengelola sumber daya alam secara adil dan berkelanjutan, dan dapat direplikasi di daerah lain dengan karakteristik serupa
Preserving Silat Sutera Baja as an Intangible Cultural Heritage through Knowledge Transfer
Get PDFOne of Indonesia's intangible cultural heritages that needs to be preserved is pencak silat. Through knowledge transfer, such cultural heritage is transmitted from one generation to the next. This study aims to elaborate the knowledge transfer process carried out by Silat Sutera Baja Kemayoran Community. This research adopts qualitative case study to gain in-depth understanding of knowledge transfer performed in the community. Research data was obtained through observation and interviews of five informants. Data analysis conveys reduction, data presentation, and conclusions. The results shows that knowledge of Silat Sutera Baja is transferred from Silat instructors to the students through training. The knowledge transfer process takes four stages, including initiation, transfer, ramp-up, and integration. The initiation of knowledge transfer stems from the instructors' motivation to maintain the culture and facilitate students. Transferring knowledge is carried out by giving examples of the movements followed by students, while knowledge other than movement is given by storytelling. At the ramp-up stage, students' knowledge is known by how they show the movements they have mastered, while at the implementation stage, students' knowledge is known when they practice competing. The Silat Sutera Baja community requires more suitable equipment and space for their knowledge transfer practice. Despite these constraints, the instructors can continue passing their knowledge to the younger generation
Makna dan Fungsi Makanan Tradisional Jawa: Pendekatan Antropologi Linguistik dan Semiotika
No full textThis article examines the meanings and functions of Javanese traditional food through a linguistic anthropological lens. Food is approached not merely as a biological necessity, but as a cultural artifact embedded with social significance. Drawing on a corpus of traditional food names compiled by Endang Nurhayati (2013), this study analyzes how naming practices reflect the cultural logic and symbolic values of Javanese society. The findings demonstrate that the meanings and functions of traditional foods are flexible and contingent upon their socio-cultural contexts, whether in ritual ceremonies or everyday consumption. Naming conventions are shaped by sensory attributes (such as color, taste, texture, and form), sound symbolism (onomatopoeia), and acronyms. These linguistic strategies reveal how language mediates cultural understanding and expresses identity, history, and communal values. The study contributes to broader discussions on the role of food in semiotic systems and the intersection between language, culture, and social practice in Javanese tradition.Penelitian ini mengeksplorasi makna dan fungsi makanan tradisional Jawa. Penelitian ini memandang makanan sebagai budaya dan oleh karena itu, lebih dari sekadar objek untuk memenuhi kebutuhan fisik, makanan selalu memiliki makna dalam kehidupan manusia karena fungsinya dalam kehidupan sosial. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan menggunakan pendekatan linguistik antropologi. Data untuk penelitian ini berasal dari kumpulan nama makanan tradisional Jawa yang disusun oleh Endang Nurhayati pada tahun 2013. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa baik makna maupun fungsi makanan tradisional Jawa bersifat fleksibel, mengikuti konteks penyajiannya. Makna makanan dapat diperoleh dari aspek sensori (termasuk warna, rasa, bentuk, dan tekstur), onomatopoeia (tiruan suara), dan akronim.

Through collaboration, this festival gives local educators and senior citizens a chance to interact with international partners and foster knowledge and creativity that can increase worldwide awareness of global development issues. All of the analysis indicates that PIFAF plays a significant role in developing strong local identities and, occasionally, creating new standards for international joint work. The principles of diplomacy in religion that are presented at this festival provide a starting point for understanding religious texts that are more widely accepted among many religious groups, have the potential to strengthen international relations, and encourage more intense global cooperation.
