The Impact

A major factor of contact amongst the people of the Western Niger Delta of Nigeria, which for want of a more appropriate term, maybe described as cultural, between the Isoko and her Ukwuani neighbours is the religio-ritual factor. One of the ancient and wide-ranging religio-ritual factors, which helped to promote intergroup contact between the Isoko and her Ukwuani neighbours, was associated with the Mmonwu masquerade, a socio-cultural institution. The work therefore examines the impact of the Mmonwu masquerade on the relations between the Isoko and Ukwuani people of the western Niger Delta of Nigeria. The work was carried out with the use of primary and secondary sources, using the historical and analytical method. The result/findings shows that, the Isoko-Ukwuani Mmonwu Masquerade is not an original Isoko-Ukwuani culture, but came as a cultural intercourse with their Igbo Neighbours. The work further shows that the Mmonwu Masquerade has a viable socio-cultural, religio-ritual, and economic impact on intergroup relations of the Isoko-Ukwuani Peoples.

Abstract The environmental impacts of hydroelectric dams in Brazil are investigated in local and regional scales, for the last years. In this paper, we analyze the impact than the establishment of a hydroelectric dam has for the people and their spaces, with the comparative experiences occurred for the North and South of Brazil. We will focus on aspects related to the organization of families, social fight, the compensation and resettlement of people affected by the dam's construction, as well we take a look to the similarities between the two areas, with emphasis on aspects related to migration, mobility and landscapes. For this, we rely on research carried out on the river Uruguay (South), based on interviews, questionnaires and studies of primary and secondary sources, from 2007 to 2014 and also in a survey that is currently being held in Belo Monte area (North), which also uses primary and secondary sources, with fieldwork periods.

Abstrak Kesenian tradisional memegang peranan dalam pencirian dan menjadi kekhasan suatu daerah. Bagi wilayah administratif yang menjadi cikal bakal suatu kesenian daerah tentu saja tidak sulit untuk menyebut istilah kesenian khas dan menjadi milik daerah tersebut. Lain halnya dengan wilayah administratif yang tidak memiliki kesenian daerah sehingga akan berusaha menciptakan sebuah kesenian untuk dijadikan sebagai kesenian khas bagi daerahnya. Beruntunglah bagi Kabupaten Subang yang menjadi cikal bakal beberapa kesenian yang terlahir dan besar di daerahnya. Tidak hanya sampai disitu, Pelestarian dan pengembangan kesenian tradisional tampak serius dilakukan. Hal tersebut terlihat dari papan nama berbagai kesenian (tradisional) di beberapa ruas jalan dalam wilayah Kabupaten Subang. Seiring berjalannya waktu tampak jelas terlihat adanya perubahan dalam pernak pernik atau tahapan pertunjukan pada beberapa seni pertunjukan tradisional. Kondisi tersebut pada akhirnya mengundang keingintahuan mengenai strategi kolaborasi apa yang membuat seni pertunjukan tradisional masih tetap diminati masyarakat Subang. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan menggunakan metode deskriptif analisis yang didukung dengan data lintas waktu baik dari sumber sekunder maupun dari pernyataan informan mengenai seni pertunjukan tradisional di Kabupaten Subang. Dari hasil penelitian diperoleh bahwa kolaborasi yang dilakukan meliputi kolaborasi lintas waktu dan lintas ruang yang masih dibatasi oleh seperangkat aturan agar kolaborasi tidak melenceng dari identitas ketradisionalannya.AbstractTraditional arts play a role in the characterization of a region. The Regency of Subang became the pioneer for inventing and creating some traditional arts. They were born and grew in the area, and their preservation and development are seriously taken into consideration.

The Covid-19 pandemic has made many changes, including multidimensional and multisectoral aspects. This study aims to analyze the impact of the pandemic on the religiosity (religious behavior) of the community. Especially the Laa Roiba National IAI academic community, Bogor. Descriptive-qualitative analytical method was used as a research method with a sample of the academic community of IAI National Laa Roiba Bogor. The pandemic that lasted more than 18 months had a real impact on the religious behavior of the people of Bogor Regency. Before the pandemic, most people used to pray in congregation at the nearest mosque/musholla. During the pandemic, most people choose to pray at home or alone. Entering the transition period, some began to congregate to the mosque/musholla, and when PPKM was implemented, some of them returned to their homes. Meanwhile, for Friday prayers and holidays, some are still looking for a mosque/mushola. Breaking together, friendship and recitation tend to decrease, except online via Zoom and Google Meet or social media such as WAG and Facebook. In the midst of limitations, the infaq tradition tends to persist and some have even increased. Likewise, feelings of religiosity and levels of personal piety are acknowledged to have increased after the pandemic.

As a country with high risk of disasters, the people of Indonesia have to prepare and anticipate these calamities. One of the most important aspects of disaster risk reduction at the local level is social capital. This paper discusses the role of social capital in strengthening community disaster preparedness for effective respond and its potential for building back after recovery, focusing on local wisdom, prior experiences and re-establishment of community livelihoods. Local wisdom plays an important role in raising community efforts to find relief and recover from the impact of the earthquake in Bantul and floods in Jambi. The spirit of community-self, mutual help and fundraising help the Javanese in Bantul to be strong and care among neighbors. The community that supported by the local leaders and institutions agreed to set up priority for affected people who need more help. Meanwhile, experiences of the people in Jambi on regular floods made them aware and assisted them to develop self-efficacy beliefs in disaster preparedness, including making plans as well as increasing skill to get ready for and respond to this disaster. This paper also shows that in addition to economic recovery programs from the government and donor in Bantul and Aceh, the community in Jambi used floods as a source of their alternative livelihood through fishing and its related activities, and perceived floods as economic opportunities. This paper utilises empirical evidence from cases across Indonesia that are collected from my research results under LIPI and Human Ecology research activities. Data is also collected from secondary sources that largely rely on desk reviews of relevant books, documents, papers, and other references.

The People

Niger Delta region is very rich in oil and gas deposits, clay, agricultural land, fisheries, extensive forest and other resources. They are nine states which make the region namely, Abia, Akwa Ibom, Bayelsa, Cross River, Delta, Edo, Imo, Ondo and Rivers. The most oil producing communities among them are Akwa Ibom, Bayelsa, Edo, Delta and Rivers State. Clay is equally found in abundance in all the states like crude oil is found in Niger Delta communities. The available clay mineral in the region has the capacity to transform the nation’s economy if properly utilized. Clay is the basic material for pottery or ceramics production. It is also used to ease the penetration of pipes in drilling of crude oil. This paper looks at the practice of pottery in Niger Delta Area with a focus on pottery practice in both Akwa Ibom and Rivers States. Indigenous and contemporary pottery or ceramics practices in these communities indeed have played vital role in the economic, social religious and cultural ways of life of the people. Clay products such as dinnerware and sanitary wares and others are highly sought for and they have the capacity to boast the national economy as experienced in other nations such as Japan, Italy, Britain, United States of America, India and China among others. Data were collected from both primary and secondary sources and were subsequently assessed. The result shows that proper utilization of clay found in Niger Delta has the potential to create numerous job opportunities for the teaming population of youths in the region. The availability of abundant clay in the region, if well harnessed could adequately compete with crude oil exploitation for economic purposes in the region.
