Sirih pinang dalam tulisan ini mengacu pada sirih (Piper betle L), pinang (Areca catechu L) dan kapur; serta praktik mengunyahnya. Di berbagai daerah di Indonesia, budaya sirih pinang dan nilai-nilai budaya yang terkandung di dalamnya mulai pudar. Namun di Sumba, masyarakatnya masih menanam sirih – pinang dan memanfaatkan sirih pinang dalam kesehariannya, menggunakannya pada praktik ritual, dan acara seremonial. Penelitian ini membahas budaya sirih pinang di Sumba Barat. Kajian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif. Pengumpulan data menggunakan metode observasi, wawancara mendalam dan kajian pustaka. Kajian ini menemukan bahwa sirih pinang di Sumba Barat memiliki beragam fungsi sosial, budaya, ekonomi dan pengobatan. Sirih pinang menjadi simbol penting dalam budaya Sumba. Hal ini terkait erat dengan tatanan yang memengaruhi kehidupan orang Sumba, yaitu kepercayaan Marapu, tempat tinggal (rumah: uma ; dan kampung: wano), serta ikatan kekerabatan (kabisu). Sirih pinang sebagai sumber daya budaya tak benda berpotensi untuk dapat dilindungi dalam kerangka pelestarian budaya melalui sistem perlindungan hukum sumber daya budaya takbenda, yaitu melalui ranah warisan budaya takbenda (WBTB) di Indonesia. Sirih pinang refers to the material (betel nut, areca nut, lime) and its practice of chewing it. Sumbanese, plant and use sirih pinang in their daily lives, and use it in ritual practices and ceremonial events. In various regions in Indonesia, sirih pinang tradition and it’s cultural values began to fade, therefore efforts to preserve sirih pinang tradition are needed. This study uses a qualitative approach. Data collection is carried out through observation, interviews, and literature studies. The results found that sirih pinang has a variety of social, cultural, economic, and medicinal functions. It has become an essential symbol in sumbanese culture. The symbol is related to the system that affects the lives of sumbanese, namely Marapu's beliefs, kampung (village) or uma (rumah) and kabisu (kinship system). In the intellectual property rights system, sirih pinang can be categorized as an intangible cultural resource that can be protected, utilized and developed within the framework of cultural preservation. One of the opportunities of the effort to preserve the intangible cultural resources is through the recognition and acknowledgement of sirih pinang as a shared intangible cultural heritage (ICH) in Indonesia.

Insight Into

The present study examines the three perceptual factors (cultural, economic, and social) that affect residents’ attitude towards transformation in the search for sustainability. Macao’s Drunken Dragon Festival, China’s intangible cultural heritage, was used as the case. Self-administered surveys were conducted on 378 resident festival participants in 2015 and 692 residents (both participants and non-participants) in 2017. The results show that regardless of previous experiences of participating in the festival, those who perceive more strongly about its cultural values tend to have positive attitudes towards its transformation, which may involve a loss of objective authenticity. Those who perceive more strongly that the festival is exclusive and does not embrace diverse participants are more likely to support its transformation. However, such a perception does not lead to their belief that diverse groups of people should be incorporated into the festival. Only among the non-participants from the sample collected in 2017, the perception that this festival provides economic benefit is associated with positive attitudes towards transforming and incorporating diverse groups of participants. This study provides insight into understanding the residents’ common and differentiated attitudes with regards to how much transformation is necessary to ensure sustainability of a local traditional cultural festival.

This study of Dayak Bidayuh ethnic kinship system at the boundaries of Entikong and Tebedu is based on the issue of border area development, the issue of cultural extinction and cultural values, as well as the issue of cultural claims and cultural values. Besides, the existence of Bidayuh ethnic groups spread across Indonesia and Malaysia has become interesting to study and describe. The study used qualitative method by interviewing and observing people of Dayak Bidayuh in Sontas-Indonesia and Bidayauh in Entubuh-Malaysia. Based on the concept of kinship and border studies, this study shows that (1) Bidayuh Sontas Kinship System refers to the concept of kinship system with a unilateral lineage pattern, so that the Bidayuh Sontas nuclear family is part of an extended family; (2) Bidayuh Sontas has a transnational kinship pattern with Entubuh-Malaysia Bidayuh; (3) The presence of the State is the cause of the separation of Bidayuh Sontas citizenship from Bidayuh Entubuh; (4) When there is a marriage between them, the citizenship must be determined; and (5) Transnational kinship Bidayuh at the Entikong-Indonesia and Tebedu-Malaysia Border as a socio-cultural space phenomenon. An ethnic community that existed before the presence of state’s border is still continuing their daily lives, even though they have been constructed into different nationalities.

The People

Indian culture has dominantly influenced the Indonesian people, particularly in the western part of the archipelago. This, which started centuries ago, can still be seen in the peoples’ daily lives in social, cultural, economic and political matters. Both the Hindu and Buddhist lessons have been practiced in Bali, although it is argued that the Buddhist lessons had been developed earlier than the Hindu ones. These developments have strongly characterized Balinese daily life, so, it is very important to understand how the people anticipate and solve some crucial issues regarding the processes of modernization and globalization. There are some important questions that need to be addressed on the Indian influences in strengthening the Balinese culture from the earlier periods until the modern and even postmodern times. In this case, the specific questions are: Firstly, how did the Balinese accept these two lessons in their daily lives in the context of Balinization processes? Secondly, what kinds of tangible and intangible cultures of the Hindu and Buddhist lessons can be seen in the present day Bali? Thirdly, how do they strengthen the Bali identity or Balinization,  known as “Ajeg Bali”? Through this analysis, it is expected to have a better understanding of the issues of social, cultural, economic and political changes in Indonesia in general and Bali in particular in modern and postmodern times.

AbstractClimate change is borderless, and its impacts are not shared equally by all communities. It causes an imbalance between people by creating a more desirable living environment for some societies while erasing settlements and shelters of some others. Due to floods, sea level rise, destructive storms, drought, and slow-onset factors such as salinization of water and soil, people lose their lands, homes, and natural resources. Catastrophic events force people to move voluntarily or involuntarily. The relocation of communities is a debatable climate adaptation measure which requires utmost care with human rights, ethics, and psychological well-being of individuals upon the issues of discrimination, conflict, and security. As the number of climate-displaced populations grows, the generations-deep connection to their rituals, customs, and ancestral ties with the land, cultural practices, and intangible cultural heritage become endangered. However, intangible heritage is often overlooked in the context of climate displacement. This paper presents reflections based on observations regarding the intangible heritage of voluntarily displaced communities. It begins by examining intangible heritage under the threat of climate displacement, with place-based examples. It then reveals intangible heritage as a catalyst to building resilient communities by advocating for the cultural values of indigenous and all people in climate action planning. It concludes the discussion by presenting the implications of climate displacement in existing intangible heritage initiatives. This article seeks to contribute to the emerging policies of preserving intangible heritage in the context of climate displacement.

Positive Correlations

Intangible cultural heritage (ICH) has recently become an important area of tourism development for many countries that are home to such cultural resources. Within this context, the value of an ICH site has often been used to guide tourism development and policy making. In addition, community residents’ attitude and perception of ICH contribute to tourism development. In this study, we used the traditional firing technology of Longquan celadon in Zhejiang Province, China, as a case study to understand the relationships between value recognition and attitude along with the intention to visit the heritage site. We surveyed 368 residents and conducted path analysis to test such relationships. Findings revealed significant positive correlations between residents’ cognition of ICH value, their attitudes and travel intentions. Among them, attitudes played a mediating role in the formation of value cognition to travel intention. These findings offer insights into ICH-related tourism development, particularly regarding tourism product design, marketing and post-development evaluation, as well as the conservation of ICH sites.

Abstract The ability to publish and provide access to cultural resources via free, open source digital platforms is empowering Vietnamese cultural professionals to promote their culture to local and international audiences. Digitization projects now include the use of 3D, VR, and AR digital technologies for the purpose of being published on digital platforms. This is creating an emergent digital culture in Vietnam, with an increasing amount of available resources online. Digitization projects are now used to preserve cultural heritage as well as to present and promote contemporary art and culture. This reflects a change in practices amongst cultural professionals in Hanoi, in terms of how digital technologies are used and the value placed on making cultural resources publicly accessible online. However, as new content, knowledge, and voices are able to participate in the online discourse on art and culture, the question remains as to whether this digital transition is creating greater equality and inclusion in the cultural sector or if it is exacerbating already existing forms of digital cultural colonialism. This paper presents findings from 50 interviews with cultural professionals working in the cultural sector in Hanoi about their digitization projects and digital work practices, the developments in digitization in Hanoi’s cultural sector over the past five years, how cultural professionals are utilizing the opportunities afforded by digital technologies for cultural preservation and promotion, as well as the challenges they face in carrying out digitization projects.
