Reflections on Linguistic Fieldwork and Language Documentation in Eastern Indonesia
Language Documentation & Conservation Special Publication No. 15 Reflections on Language Documentation 20 Years after Himmelmann 1998 ed. by Bradley McDonnell, Andrea L. Berez-Kroeker & Gary Holton, pp. 256–266 http://nflrc.hawaii.edu/ldc/ 25 http://hdl.handle.net/10125/24827 Reflections on linguistic fieldwork and language documentation in eastern Indonesia Yusuf Sawaki Center for Endangered Languages Documentation, University of Papua I Wayan Arka Australia National University Udayana University In this paper, we reflect on linguistic fieldwork and language documentation activities in Eastern Indonesia. We first present the rich linguistic and biological diversity of this region, which is of significant interest in typological and theoretical linguistics and language documentation. We then discuss certain central educational issues in relation to human resources, infrastructures, and institutional support, critical for high quality research and documentation. We argue that the issues are multidimensional and complex across all levels, posing sociocultural challenges in capacity-building programs. Finally, we reflect on the significance of the participation oflocal fieldworkers and communities and their contextual training. 1. Introduction In this paper, we reflect on linguistic fieldwork and language documentation in Eastern Indonesia. By “Eastern Indonesia,” we mean the region that stretches from Nusa Tenggara to Papua,1 including Nusa Tenggara Timur, Sulawesi, and Maluku. This region is linguistically one of the most diverse regions in the world interms of the number of unrelated languages and their structural properties, further discussed in the next section. This is the region where Nikolaus Himmelmann has done his linguistic 1The term “Papua” is potentially confusing because it is used in two senses. -
Indigenous Knowledge and Practices for Marine Ecotourism Development in Misool, Raja Ampat, Indonesia
INDIGENOUS KNOWLEDGE AND PRACTICES FOR MARINE ECOTOURISM DEVELOPMENT IN MISOOL, RAJA AMPAT, INDONESIA By: Nurdina Prasetyo A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand February 2019 No matter how important local and national knowledge is within a specific spatial context, unless it is conveyed in English it has little chance to enter the global marketplace and be reproduced and recirculated. Somewhat ironically, given the desire to give voice to local and Indigenous perspectives, unless that voice can be spoken in English it is likely not to be heard. (Hall, 2013, p. 608) ABSTRACT This doctoral study examines the complexities of integrating Indigenous knowledge and practices into sustainable marine ecotourism development, with a focus on the case study of Misool, Raja Ampat, in West Papua Province, Indonesia. The research addresses the knowledge gaps on integrating Indigenous knowledge into marine ecotourism initiatives. Indigenous knowledge is often neglected as a key source of information, undervalued from the perspective of Western scientific knowledge, even though utilising Indigenous knowledge helps to increase the sustainability of development efforts and contributes to the empowerment of local communities. Literature on marine ecotourism shows an almost total absence of studies that draw from Indigenous knowledge, yet, local community participation is underlined as one of the most important factors in sustainable marine ecotourism development. This thesis thus aims to contribute new insights on how Indigenous knowledge can be optimally integrated or applied in marine ecotourism development. Misool is one of the islands in Raja Ampat which attracts scuba divers and marine tourists from around the world, due to its abundance marine life. -

Salawati, Batta, and Biga are spoken in the Raja Ampat archipelago, just off the western tip of the Bird’s Head peninsula of New Guinea, and As is spoken nearby on the New Guinea mainland. All four languages are to some degree endangered, as speakers shift to Papuan Malay, the local lingua franca: Biga is the most vital of the four languages, in that children are still acquiring it, whereas As is moribund, with only a handful of speakers remaining. -

Conserving in Misool, Indonesia, Through Eco-Tourism by Shawn
Conserving in Misool, Indonesia, through Eco-tourism By Shawn Heinrichs, Founder, Blue Sphere Media (www.bluespheremedia.com), Andrew Miners, Managing Director, Misool Eco Resort, Marit Miners, Director, Misool Eco Resort (www.misoolecoresort.com) Abstract Misool Eco Resort (MER) is located in the remote southern part of Raja Ampat, Indonesia. The small resort is located on the island of Batbitim, deep in a vast archipelago of uninhabited islands, 240 kilometers from the nearest resort and half a day’s journey from the nearest village. Misool Eco Resort is deeply committed to a policy of environmental and social responsibility. We seek to provide exceptional and enriching diving experiences in a sustainable environment. We aim to protect and revitalize both our natural surroundings and the community in which we operate. We are committed to demonstrating to our hosts, our guests and the local government that tourism can support a local economy on much more favorable terms than mining, logging, over fishing or shark finning. In doing so, MER entered into a lease agreement with the local community to establish a 425-square kilometer Marine Protected Area (no-take zone) surrounding Misool Eco Resort. Within this area, all fishing, shark finning, harvesting of turtle eggs and shellfish are strictly prohibited. In 2010, this no-take zone was expanded and now covers an area of 1,220 square kilometers. We also require all boats to practice reef-safe anchoring. We regularly patrol the area for illegal fishing and shark finning. In addition, Misool Eco Resorts charity arm, Misool Baseftin, conducts social projects, such as supporting local schools and is developing libraries in two of the local villages. -

Pemanfaatan Tumbuhan Berkhasiat Obat Berbasis Pengetahuan Masyarakat Lokal Kampung Nanggouw Distrik Sausapor Kabupaten Tambrauw Muzna Ardin Abdul Gafur1* Universitas Muhammadiyah Sorong, Sorong, Indonesia *E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRAK Kampung Nanggouw Distrik Sausapor Kabupaten Tambrauw merupakan perkampungan penduduk asli suku Abun, terletak di wilayah Pesisir Dsitrik Sausapor Kabupaten Tambrauw. Kampung ini berjarak 108 km dari Kota Sorong, dapat ditempuh dengan perjalanan darat selama lebih kurang 5 jam menggunakan kenderaan roda empat. Permasalahan utama di kampung ini adalah rendahnya tingkat kesehatan masyarakat. Penyakit yang umumnya menyerang adalah malaria, infeksi paru-paru dan penyakit kulit. Fasilitas kesehatan dan pendukungnya masih sangat kurang, di kampung ini tidak terdapat puskesmas. Untuk berobat, masyarakat harus ke Ibukota Distrik atau ke Ibukota kabupaten. Salah satu alternatif penyelesaian masalah kesehatan di Kampung Nanggouw adalah dengan cara membekali masyarakat agar dapat mengatasi permasalahan kesehatan secara mandiri. Kampung dengan kekayaan sumber daya alam yang besar ini memiliki potensi tumbuhan obat yang cukup banyak, akan tetapi informasi dan pengetahuan masyarakat terhadap mafaat tumbuhan obat itu masih sangat kurang. Oleh sebab itu dianggap penting untuk memberikan informasi, pengetahuan, dan pengalaman tentang jenis-jenis tumbuhan berkhasiat obat, cara pengolahan dan penyiapannya dalam bentuk siap pakai. Kegiatan pengabdian ini dilakukan dalam bentuk sosialisai dan penyuluhan kepada masyarakat terutama ibu-ibu, pemuda dan remaja.

Stagnate to Extensive: the Design of Capital City Development in Coastal Archipelago Raja Ampat
Feb. 2012, Volume 6, No. 2 (Serial No. 51), pp. 219–225 Journal of Civil Engineering and Architecture, ISSN 1934-7359, USA D D AV I D PUBLISHING Stagnate to Extensive: The Design of Capital City Development in Coastal Archipelago Raja Ampat Sri Astuti Research Institute for Housing Settlements, Ministry of Public Works, Indonesia Abstract: This discussion of Raja Ampat case, a subdivision of West Papua province, is related to the global warming issue where small islands will be narrowed as a result of sea level rise. Furthermore, it is related to autonomy regulations where each municipality and district has their own policy. The capital of Raja Ampat District in the east of Indonesia is developed from traditional place into central urban area. Raja Ampat, a naturally beautiful island, is located in a remote area famous for its diving spot for foreign tourists, amazing underwater life, bird watching, and to experience a traditional lifestyle with specific tropical fauna and flora. The problem is how to develop a city which needs to be in a stagnant extensive phase but neither in vertical nor horizontal development to protect forest as conservation area due to limited land area. Identification and design methods used in this research is to develop settlement in Raja Ampat archipelago area which has around 610 large and small islands, atoll, and have 4.860 km shoreline with only 34 islands inhabited. The urban design for this archipelago of 1:6 ratios of land and ocean needs to be different, since it is dominated by water. With the limited land area resources, the development needs to be focused on the ocean area by optimizing land area. -
