Abstract For most people in Indonesia, homecoming (mudik) is one of the traditions to celebrate Eid al-Fitr Holiday. However, to prevent the spike in Covid-19 cases, the government has issued a policy to ban the 2021 Eid al-Fitr homecoming which took effect from 6-17 May 2021. This regulation turned out to be unable to thwart the people’s enthusiasm to go to their hometowns. This article intends to examine the direction of policy on the 2021 Eid homecoming ban. It was later found that the homecoming ban has given rise to a sense of injustice amongst the public. This is because the government only banned homecoming activities, but they still opened tourism areas. The government also still allowed the arrival of foreign workers during the implementation of holiday homecoming ban. This has caused many people to force themselves to continue their homecoming tradition. Going forward, there needs to be an evaluation so that any policies released by the government to prevent the increase in cases of the spread of Covid-19 can run effectively. The House of Representatives of the Republic of Indonesia through the supervisory function can provide input for the evaluation of the homecoming ban policy should it will be implemented again in the upcoming holiday period. Introduction which took effect from 6-17 May Celebrating Eid by going 2021. home to the loved ones has The government has even become a tradition for the people imposed additional rules, such as of Indonesia. Homecoming is a travel restrictions on 22 April-5 moment that is always awaited by May and 18-24 May 2021.

  • A Case Study of Rural–Urban Affinity on Mudik Lebaran in Central Java1
    Journal of Indonesian Social Sciences and Humanities Vol. 4, 2011, pp. 49-66 URL: http://www.kitlv-journals.nl/index.php/jissh/index URN:NBN:NL:UI:10-1-101743 Copyright: content is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 License ISSN: 1979-8431 Is the Past Another Country? A Case Study of Rural–Urban Affinity on Mudik Lebaran in Central Java1 Vissia Ita Yulianto Department of Social and Cultural Anthropology University of Freiburg, Germany E-mail: [email protected] Abstract This study is to explore the relations between the urban and rural in terms of their social as well as cultural significance. Referring to the idea of David Lowenthal— (1985:39-52) who has pointed out that the connection between the past and present rests on the fact that the past has been the source of familiarity, guidance, identity, enrichment and escape—the central idea of the paper is to suggest that this notion of a ‘familiar past’ is a fundamental aspect of the culture of contemporary urbanised Central Javanese, who, during the Lebaran holiday, revisit their ancestral roots to retain a degree of autonomy against modernity or to return to their ‘disappearing past’ as ‘tourists’, so to speak. The cultural practice of mudik becomes the interaction zone (Leaf, 2008) that provides opportunities for city dwellers to keep ties with their village of origin. Finally, the paper suggests that the continuing intimate interplay between the village and town proves that neither past–present nor rural–urban dichotomies are in categorically opposed realms; metaphorically speaking, they are not in different countries.

Traditional notions of sickness etiology are set in the context of both Christian beliefs and the state's efforts to promulgate modem, 'scientific' understandings, in order to show how sociologically distinguished individuals draw variously at different times and contexts on all three fields of sickness interpretation and management. The thesis begins with a history of Nias relations with the outside world, in order to delineate the genealogy of modem Indonesian attitudes to local culture.

Activities result in significant benefit, especially the annual income for a particular area, especially when people from the area many migrate to big cities. Cyclical revenue turnover occurs by travelers for their homeland. Revenue can be directly from the expenditure incurred by nomads - travelers of handicrafts goods whether by food or other goods.

  • Mobility of Merantau As a Sociocultural Practice in Indonesia
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by Lirias 1 The (Im)Mobility of Merantau as a Sociocultural Practice in Indonesia Noel B. Salazar Anthropology has developed greatly, as a discipline, through the study of (small) island societies. Many early anthropological inter- pretations, however, focused on internal processes so exclusively that inter-island exchange networks were easily overlooked. However, conceptions of both ‘other’ and ‘self’, as well as notions of ‘travel’ and ‘home’, have stemmed from these mobile interactions (Tagliacozzo 2009). Like places or locations more generally, ‘home’ is not concep- tualized as fixed and static but as being generated through various and often messy relations between people and places (cf. Green 2013). As various chapters in this volume show, movement often involves place-making. On the islands of Vanuatu, for example, trees are a widespread symbol of stability, while canoes, like any other means of transport, index motion. The metaphorical image of crafting canoes out of trees captures the idea that movement can help to gain social stability (Bonnemaison 1984). Similarly, in insular Southeast Asia, the boat has traditionally been a metaphor for the ‘ordered social group’. The boat metaphor, in Indonesia in particular, refers to an ‘ocean- going society’ but also a ‘disciplined’ and ‘hierarchical’ social system that is necessary for ‘safety and great mobility’ (Wolters 1999: 180). Indonesia is an archipelago of more than six thousand inhab- ited islands in Asia Pacific, at the crossroads of Southeast Asia and Oceania. Its scattered geography has been conducive to mobility between, and beyond, the islands, including complex systems of cir- cular movements and various forms of migration and cross-cultural 22 ◆ Noel B.
