Violations of the Village Endogamy Marriage Tradition in Tenganan Pegringsingan Karangasem Bali

The existence of Tenganan Village as a Bali Aga Village has its own uniqueness compared to other areas in Bali, one of which lies in its marriage system. The ideal marriage system in the Tenganan Pegringsingan community is family exogamy or village endogamy. Regarding the marriage system governed by the traditional village regulations (awig-awig), many violations have been committed by the members of the Tenganan Pegringsingan Traditional Village, which poses a threat to the continuity of the customs and traditions of the village in the future. The objectives of this study are: to identify the causes of violations of the village endogamy marriage system in the Tenganan Pegringsingan Traditional Village, to understand the process of imposing sanctions on residents who violate this system, and to analyse the implications of these sanctions on the status and roles of the offenders within the village. This article uses a qualitative approach to gather data from various sources relevant to the research needs. Interviews with community leaders from the Tenganan Pegringsingan Traditional Village revealed that the causes of violations of the village endogamy marriage system are psychological and environmental factors. Violations of the awig-awig result in the following sanctions: exclusion from the village's communal activities (mekrama), relocation to Banjar Pande, and fines imposed on the violators' parents. The implications include differences in status and roles within the community. Residents who are not members of the krama desa adat (traditional village community) lose their rights within the traditional village. The uniqueness of the Tenganan Pegringsingan Traditional Village, which sets it apart from other villages in Bali, deserves attention from policymakers to ensure that the traditional values and cultural heritage of the village are preserved.

The legal basis of social security for village officers and members of their families according to the legislation of Ukraine

The article examines the current state of the legislative system of Ukraine, which regulates the social protection of military personnel and their family members. The main principles of state policy in the field of social security of this category of persons were considered, and it was determined that the main directions of such policy are: a) establishment of a unified system of social and legal protection; b) guaranteeing favorable conditions in the economic, social, and political spheres to military personnel and members of their families; c) development of effective and accessible mechanisms for the realization of their rights to social protection by this category of persons. Social security of persons who defend the state is an extremely important direction of state policy, which is of primary importance not only during the war, but also after its end. Today, there is no more important task than protecting and ensuring the rights of servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and other military formations that defend the territorial integrity and sovereignty of our state. It is noted that today in Ukraine there is a system of normative legal acts of various legal force that regulate issues of social and legal protection of military personnel, their constitutional rights and freedoms, and guarantees regarding their implementation. At the same time, despite the fact that the legislation in this field is constantly developing and improving, many problematic issues require an effective mechanism for their resolution. The types of social guarantees of servicemen and their family members and the peculiarities of their provision during the period of martial law in the country are considered. A conclusion was made about the irregularity of the norms that determine specific types of social protection of servicemen and their family members, as a significant number of normative legal acts do not always indicate the provision of integral and comprehensive social protection. And also, the absence of a single legislative act that would determine mutually agreed standards and principles of building the entire structure of social security for servicemen and their family members. There were opinions that the existing system of social protection needs radical reorganization and adaptation to modern conditions. In particular, it is necessary to create a clear system of guarantees of social (material) support of servicemen and their family members, to ensure their observance and implementation by the state. A decent level of social security acts as a stimulus for citizens to military service.

Language Maintenance As Identity Construction In Jalawastu Traditional Community of Brebes Central Java

Studies on indigenous communities have been conducted with various results on cultural elements as their research focus. Language, as one of those elements, is an essential factor in the survival of the traditions and beliefs. This article discusses how the Jalawastu community maintains their indigenous language of Brebes Sundanese dialect in Javanese-speaking culture in Central Java. The novelty of this study was to discover how the traditional community perceived their language, why they needed to maintain it, and what obstacles they had in the process. This ethnographic research was conducted in Jalawastu Cultural Village in Desa Ciseureuh, Kecamatan Ketanggungan, Kabupaten Brebes between October 2022 and May 2023. Data was collected using in-depth interviews and observation. Those who participated in this study were kuncen, (cultural council chief), pemangku adat (traditional ruler), kepala dusun (the village chief), and Jalawastu community member. The study revealed that the community attempted to maintain their dialect because they viewed the importance of their language in their daily verbal interaction, both in social activities and rituals, and the need to hold their social identity as Jalawastu village members. The attempt to preserve the use of the language was based on the social belief, that is, to respect their ancestors in order to avoid misfortunes. These efforts were once hindered when the provincial government imposed the language policy to teach only Javanese in elementary schools instead of Sundanese. With Brebes Bupati's regional decrees, they could eventually teach back the language in formal elementary schools.

Portrait of the Management of Tenganan Pegeringsingan Traditional Village

The village regulations (awig-awig) of Tenganan Pegeringsingan Traditional Village are supported by the 1945 Constitution and the Provincial Regulation of Bali, thus giving them clear legal authority. These regulations serve to organize, protect, resolve conflicts, and guide the entire community, as well as to develop cultural values that align with local traditions. Although traditional villages are generally seen as social organizations based on the Kahyangan Three and the Tri Hita Karana philosophy, Tenganan maintains a strong adherence to the Rwabhineda philosophy, which originates from the pre-Hindu era. The authority of the traditional village demonstrates a claim of superiority over autonomous power. This autonomy is essentially a reflection of an anthropological construct that has evolved over centuries. Additionally, such regulations automatically provide social control for the Tenganan Pegeringsingan Traditional Village, both preventively and curatively. Organizationally, Tenganan Pegeringsingan has its own leadership mechanism characterized by authenticity and seniority, which fosters a democratic climate. Although seniority is the basis for determining positions, the traditional council does not act arbitrarily. There is a mechanism called "sangkep" or monthly deliberation, which allows all village members to express their opinions. This mechanism automatically creates a collective leadership style, ensuring that power and authority are always based on the regulations (awig-awig) and collective decisions.

“She Has a Village”: The Intergenerational Benefits of Social Support Networks for Black Mothers and Daughters

In the current qualitative study, we explored the perceived benefits of Black mothers’ villages as cultural resource systems of social support. We used consensual qualitative research methods to analyze semi-structured interview data from 28 Black mothers (25–60 years, Mage = 46) in the United States. We identified seven main themes. For Black daughters, village support offered: (a) models of positive relationships, (b) access to social and enriching activities, (c) natural mentorship, and (d) gendered racial identity affirmation. For Black mothers, village support offered the necessary time and space to: (e) engage in personal restorative practices, (f) find joy in Black mama sister circles, and (g) experience support for educational and occupational opportunities. In addition to appreciation for the various ways village members showed up, mothers valued village members’ contributions to daughters’ self-esteem and gendered racial pride. Narratives highlighted Black mothers’ intentional village-making, underscoring fictive and extended kin networks’ enduring importance in Black girls’ identity development and well-being. Our findings hold implications for culturally relevant socialization frameworks for Black girls and stimulate new discussions on supporting Black mothers and daughters more effectively.

Parking choice behavior of urban village residents considering parking risk: An integrated modeling approach

With rising car ownership, the demand for parking and land for parking is increasing rapidly. This strains urban land resources and accentuates the performance of urban villages, characterized by limited space, high building density, narrow roadways, and few parking spaces, making parking challenging. To address this, the study focuses on guiding residents' parking choices from a parking management perspective, aiming to reduce the demand for parking spots among village members. In April 2021, a survey was conducted in Shenzhen City, where urban villages are widely dispersed. The survey revealed that residents primarily rely on on-street parking within the village, off-street parking within the village, and on-street parking outside the village. Due to the unquantifiable nature of the latent variable of parking risk and the impact of individual heterogeneity, this paper adopts a discrete selection model that integrates principal component analysis and mixed logit model (PCA-ML). The model demonstrated a good fit, indicating that parking charges, search time, and walking distance to home have negative impacts on parking choices. In addition, street parking outside the village is positively influenced by the parking risk attitude variable, while village parking remains unaffected. This study assists authoritative departments in understanding the factors that influence parking management in urban villages, thereafter, adopting targeted guidance to direct residents in urban villages to park their vehicles, mitigating the current situation of parking difficulties in urban villages. Furthermore, it contributes to achieve equitable and sustainable development of urban villages.
