Duan Lolat culture during the times capital city of Jakarta

The capital city of Jakarta is one of the places that most people in Indonesia want to visit, including people from West Southeast Maluku ethnicity, Maluku Province. Not a few migrants from West Southeast Maluku who live in Jakarta when returning to their hometowns invite their relatives to try their luck in the capital city of Jakarta. They come to settle down while still preserving the customs and culture of the people of West Southeast Maluku better known as the Tanimbar Islands. The purpose of this paper is to reveal the duan lolat culture that is still preserved by migrant communities from the Tanimbar islands even though they have migrated to the capital city of Jakarta and its surroundings. One of them is the value of kinship called Duan Lolat. The research was conducted using the historical method. The sources used were written sources such as literature studies, documents, and interviews with traditional leaders and Tanimbar people in Jakarta. The results of this study show that Duan and Lolat are social statuses derived from marital relationships, and marriage is the basis for determining the social status of Duan and Lolat. In marriage, the party who gives the daughter will in turn become Duan, while the party who receives the daughter will become Lolat. After marriage, the female family becomes Duan while the male family, the offspring of the married couple, becomes Lolat from the female family. The institutionalization of the Duan Lolat value occurs throughout human life, starting from birth, marriage, house construction, to death.

Symbolic Meaning, Social Culture, and Benefit on Economic Tanimbar Woven Fabric

West Southeast Maluku Regency / Tanimbar Islands, Maluku Province also has local wisdom that has been passed down from generation to generation, namely the Ikat Weaving Fabric, which is better known as "Tanimbar Fabric". This study aims to find the symbolic and social, cultural, and economic meaning behind the Tanimbar Ikat Weaving Fabric. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method with an ethnographic approach, and a sociological method with a social facts paradigm approach. The findings of this study from a symbolic aspect illustrate that Tanimbar Fabrics are usually passed down through life skills or skills from a mother or adult woman to her daughter, or young woman by seeing the way her mother weaves every day, which is done traditionally. The social aspect has certain meanings in the life of the Tanimbar community which positions women in a high social status. The economic aspect is that this cloth business, if occupied, provides additional potential income. So that optimal efforts are needed in the empowerment of Tanimbar Fabrics both from the symbolic, social, and economic aspects impact on wellbeing. The step is that the process for making and processing Tanibar woven fabrics is sought to be faster and cheaper.

KAJIAN ANTROPOMETRI PENGRAJIN TENUN IKAT KHAS MALUKU

Maluku Province is an Archipelago Province which consists of 1412 large and small islands. The availability of land resources in Maluku province is relatively limited. The total population in Maluku Province based on the Maluku Province BPS report until 2018, there were 1,773,776 people, of which ± 25% were categorized as poor. This number occupies an area of 15,899.6 km² or only 7.6% of the total area of Maluku Province. Most of the population of Maluku inhabits the outermost islands in the districts of Southeast Maluku, West Southeast Maluku, and the Aru Islands or the outermost islands which are directly bordered by Timor Leste and Australia. Geographical conditions like this, affect the isolation due to limited transportation facilities and a dry climate, causing the income of the population here to be relatively low, although the potential for small industries and handicrafts has good prospects to be developed. One of the types of small industry that has the potential to be developed is the Maluku Ikat weaving industry, whose marketing has reached the export market. This product is in demand by foreign consumers because of its hand made characteristics, and is part of a creative industry that is very prospective in the future. The problem faced by this industry is its low productivity, on the other hand market demand continues to increase. This is because the work aids used are traditional tools that are not ergonomic according to the worker's body size, resulting in workers working in a sitting position on the work floor. For a work position like this will cause workers to feel tired quickly, and if done for a long time will cause health problems. The stages of the research include the survey process, the industrial selection stage, the measurement of worker anthropometric data and data analysis. The results showed that the anthropometry of workers based on leg height when sitting ranged from 38.15 to 48.99 cm, total height when standing ranged from 139.23 to 160.48 cm, body height when sitting ranged from 91.68 to 120.89 cm, arm length outstretched. (P26) ranged from 46.46 to 64.96 cm and flexed arm length (P16) ranged from 27.530 to 32.756 cm.

Deteksi Gen Kdr pada Nyamuk Anopheles di Kabupaten Maluku Tenggara Barat

Malaria is still a health problem in Indonesia, particularly in Eastern part of Indonesia. The use of LLIN insecticide bed nets is one of the efforts to reduce the malaria morbidity rate by protecting human from malaria vector bites. The Anopheles flavirostris, Anopheles barbirostris, and Anopheles subpictus mosquitoes are three of the species reported as malaria vectors in West-Southeast Maluku Regency. The aim of this research was to detect the kdr gene in An. flavirostris, An. barbirostris, and An.subpictus mosquitoes collected from Alusi Kelaan village, West-Southeast Maluku Regency. The research was conducted at the Papua Biomedical Research and Development Center, in June 2016. A total of six An. flavirostris, 42 An. barbirostris, and 24 An. subpictus were pooled separately for genomic DNA extraction. The sample used was the An. flavirostris, An. barbirostris, and An. subpictus that survived after the impregnated paper test. The kdr gene detection was carried out using quantitative PCR (qPCR) focused on points V1010 and L1014. The results showed that there were no kdr mutant strains in the An. flavirostris, An. barbirostris, and An. subpictus. These results indicated that the sensitivity of pyrethroid insecticides contained in LLIN mosquito nets to An. flavirostris, An. barbirostris, and An. subpictus mosquitoes was not decreased in West Southeast Maluku Regency.

Stakeholders’ Perspectives on Border Region Development: West Southeast Maluku, Indonesia

Border regions are geographically presented with potential economic benefits. However, some of these areas have not been able to take advantage of their strategic geographic locality. This is also the case for border areas in Indonesia. There is a spectrum of perceptions by stakeholders on how border regions, particularly international borders, should be developed. This study sought to capture the perspectives of Indonesian stakeholders on border region development, and the extent of influence such perspectives have in the policy of border areas development with a case study in West Southeast Maluku The research was conducted using qualitative method with in-depth interviews as the primary collecting data technique. The results show that despite perceptions of stakeholders who view West Southeast Maluku as an area of insecurity, they also see the potential of the area to be developed as a gateway, area of opportunity, zone of contacts and zone of cooperation. However, the current policies and strategies of the development of border areas do not exemplify such perceptions, and the formulation of such policies is likely to be dominated by state-level stakeholders, despite the fact that local level stakeholders have a more comprehensive understanding of the needs of their areas.

Recent Rock Art Research on East Seram, Maluku: A key site in the rock art of West Papua and South East Maluku

Gambar cadas di Indonesia mulai diteliti sejak sebelum abad 20. Sejumlah publikasi ilmiah sebelumnya mencatat keberadaan situs gambar cadas di Pulau Seram, Provinsi Maluku yaitu di tebing Sawai dan Sungai Tala. Survei arkeologi terkini di kawasan Seram Timur dan Seram Laut yang dilakukan oleh gabungan Tim Peneliti Indonesian-American berhasil menemukan Situs gambar cadas baru di pesisir Seram Timur. gambar cadas ini terlukiskan di permukaan dinding tebing bernama lokal tebing Watu Sika. Gambar cadas di Situs Watu Sika tampak mirip dengan sejumlah situs gambar cadas lainnya di Indonesia Timur yang sebagian besar terlukis di dinding tebing karst sepanjang wilayah pesisir. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode perekaman verbal dan piktorial dibantu aplikasi Dstretch untuk memperjelas gambar-gambar agar mudah diidentifikasi. Penelitian ini menganalisis sejumlah pola figuratif dan non figuratif pada motif-motif gambar cadas di Situs Watu Sika. Hasil identifikasi terhadap sejumlah motif gambar cadas di situs ini diketahui terdapat motif gambar cadas berbentuk figur manusia, hewan, ikan, perahu, hand stencils negatif, dan pola geometris. Penelitian ini juga membahas analisis latar belakang konteks sosial terhadap tradisi gambar cadas di wilayah sekitarnya, yaitu wilayah Laut Banda. Berdasarkan jaringan persebaran temuan gambar cadas di Indonesia Timur, maka menghasilkan pengetahuan baru bahwa analisis data sementara ini menunjukkan Situs Watu Sika merupakan kunci penghubung jalur persebaran gambar cadas yang berasal dari wilayah barat ke dua jalur, pertama jalur ke arah Timur Laut, yaitu wilayah Papua dan Jalur ke Selatan, yaitu ke arah Kepulauan di sekitar Laut Banda.Rock art in Indonesia has been investigated before the 20th century. A number of previous scientific publications noted the existence of rock art sites on Seram Island, Maluku Province, which was on the cliff of Sawai and Tala River. Recent archaeological surveys in the area of East Seram and Seram Laut conducted by a joint Indonesian-American Research Team discovered a new rock art site in the coast of East Seram. The rock art is painted on the cliff wall which is called by the locals as Watu Sika. Rock art on the Watu Sika Site is similar to a number of rock art at other sites in Eastern Indonesia which were mostly painted on karstic cliffs along the coast. This study used verbal and pictorial recording methods using the Dstretch application to clarify images to support identification. This study analyzed a number of figurative and non-figurative patterns of rock art motifs at Watu Sika Site. The results of the identification of a number of rock art motifs on this site show that there are several patterns including figures of human, animal, fish, boats, negative hand stencils, and geometric patterns. This study also discussed an analysis of the social context background of rock art tradition in the surrounding region, particularly at the Banda Sea region. Based on the distribution network of rock art findings in eastern Indonesia, new insights are generated that this interim data analysis show that Watu Sika Site is the key to connecting the distribution path of rock art originating from the western region into two lanes. The first lane to the Northeast, which is the Papua region and South Lane, expanding towards the Islands around the Banda Sea.
