  • Local Wisdom on the Clove Farmer Sharing System: Case Study in Bobaneigo, North Halmahera, North Maluku
    International Journal of Business, Economics and Law, Vol. 16, Issue 5 (August) ISSN 2289-1552 2018 LOCAL WISDOM ON THE CLOVE FARMER SHARING SYSTEM: CASE STUDY IN BOBANEIGO, NORTH HALMAHERA, NORTH MALUKU. Dzurriyyatil Izzah1, Iwan Triyuwono2, Aji Dedi Mulawarman3 ABSTRACT Indonesia as an agrarian country that still relies on the village-to-urban agricultural system to drive the wheels of the economy in urban areas by supplying local products originating from the village. The life of the people who originally always instill mutual traits changed with the modernization influenced by the capitalist doctrine, making humanity more idealistic, everything will be judged by money and discrimination against the weak. So, the local wisdom become a shield to maintain cultural values in society against the onslaught. Local Wisdom on a Profits-sharing System Clove farmers are a profit-sharing system that is always practiced when clove harvest arrives. Revenue-sharing is the interest of cloves and not in the form of money. So this study aims to explore local wisdom on the clove-sharing system. This chapter will specifically explore the profit-sharing system of clove farmers and their contribution to science. The purpose of this study was to express in depth the practices of clove harvesting in the local wisdom of the Bobaneigo community which is still ongoing and applied today. This study uses interpretive qualitative research methods with ethnometodology approach in order to be able to understand various things related to clove farmers' sharing practices.

  • The Conflict in the Moluccas
    Peace and Conflict Studies III Spring Semester 2013 Supervisor: Kristian Steiner Faculty of Culture and Society Department of Global Political Studies The Conflict in the Moluccas: Local Youths’ Perceptions Contrasted to Previous Research Martin Björkhagen Words: 16 434 Abstract The violent conflict in the Moluccas (1999-2002) has occasionally been portrayed in terms of animosities between Christians and Muslims. This study problematizes that statement by analysing several conflict drivers seen through two perspectives. The first purpose of this study was to contrast previous research regarding conflict factors in the Moluccas to the perceptions of the local youths’. There is a research gap regarding the youths’ experiences of the conflict, which this study aims to bridge. A second purpose was to analyse discrepancy between the academic literature and the youths’ bottom-up perspective. The final purpose was to apply the theory of collective guilt to explain and analyse the youths’ memories and perceptions regarding the conflict factors in the Moluccas. The qualitative case study approach was adopted since it could include both in-depth interviews and an assessed literature review. Six in-depth interviews were conducted in Indonesia which explored the youth’s perceptions. The critically assessed literature review was used to obtain data from secondary sources regarding the same conflict factors, as was explored by the interviews. The first part of the analysis exposed a discrepancy between the two perspectives regarding some of the conflict factors. The collective guilt analysis found that the youths only seem to experience a rather limited feeling of collective guilt. This is because all strategies to reduce collective guilt were represented in the youths’ perceptions.

  • Sulawesi and Halmahera Birding Spectacular
    SULAWESI AND HALMAHERA BIRDING SPECTACULAR 28 OCTOBER – 14 NOVEMBER 2019 Maleo, the only member of the monotypic genus Macrocephalon, is endemic to the island of Sulawesi. We will be looking for it on this tour. www.birdingecotours.com [email protected] 2 | ITINERARY Sulawesi and Halmahera Birding Spectacular 2019 Sulawesi, a large, four-pronged island of Indonesia that sits between Borneo and New Guinea, is an amazing destination. Rich tropical jungles and rainforest peaks hold some 42 range-restricted species, including 12 endemic genera! Probably most famous among these endemic birds is the Standardwing bird-of-paradise, whose raucous calls echo through the forest from their leks. Stunningly-colored kingfishers illuminate the forest along with the mound-building Maleo, Purple-bearded Bee-eater are hawking for insects, and brightly-colored parrots, woodpeckers, and stunning hornbills abound. Not only are the birds spectacular, but many endemic mammals also inhabit this island. This itinerary gives us a chance to crisscross the island to find the best spots in this most endemic-rich place. The adjacent smaller island of Halmahera is similarly- packed with north-Moluccan endemics and is equally high on most world birders’ wish lists. Itinerary (18 days/17 nights) Day 1: Arrival in Manado – Tangkoko A flight by Silk Air departs from Singapore directly to Manado. After arrival in Manado we will drive to Tangkoko Nature Reserve (two to three hours). We’ll spend the afternoon birding around the park; at this time we should get a chance to see one of the smallest primates on earth, the Spectral Tarsier, as well as the Celebes Crested Macaque.

  • Administrative Divisions
    INFORMATION PAPER Indonesia: Administrative Divisions Indonesia is the world's largest archipelagic state, stretching across both sides of the equator from the city of Banda Aceh at 05° 33' 28" N, 095° 19' 20" E in the west, to the city of Jayapura at 02° 31' 36" S, 140° 42' 51" E in the east. It is made up of over 17,500 islands (of which around 1,000 are permanently settled) strategically located along major sea lanes between the Pacific and Indian Oceans. The capital, Jakarta, is located near the northwestern coast of Jawa (Java). Its islands can be grouped into the Kepulauan Sunda Besar (Greater Sunda Islands) of Sumatera (Sumatra), Jawa, Sulawesi and the southern part of Kalimantan1; the Nusa Tenggara (Lesser Sunda) islands of Bali and a chain of islands that runs eastward through the island of Timor2; the Maluku (Moluccas) islands; and the western part of the island of New Guinea3. Indonesia Languages Indonesian (Bahasa Indonesia)4 is the official and most commonly spoken language in Indonesia, and is a modified version of Malay. It is the official language of the government and education. Over 700 local dialects of Indonesian are spoken, the most common of which is Javanese. English is also widely spoken in Indonesia. Administrative Divisions In May 1999, Indonesia embarked on a reform of regional governance5, decentralizing most functions of the government to the rural districts and municipalities and increasing local participation in politics and the economy. The Regional Autonomy Law6 gave authority to two levels of regional government, provinces (provinsi) at the first‐order administrative level (ADM1), and regencies (kabupaten) and 1 Kalimantan is the Indonesian name for the island of Borneo.
