Show moreThis research delves into the unique cultural approach of the Tenggerese people, an Indigenous community in East Java, Indonesia, regarding elderly care. It focuses on their traditional practices of bakti (‘filial piety’) and sayan (‘mutual aid’), deeply ingrained in the community's lifestyle and values. These indigenous institutions have been pivotal in shaping and maintaining the care of the elderly within the community for generations.The study explores Tenggerese people's perspective on combining traditional, transitional, and modern elderly care systems. It seeks to understand the role traditional institutions play in the sustainable development and integration of elderly care. This involves examining how these various systems can coexist and complement each other to provide comprehensive, efficient, and satisfactory care tailored to the elderly's specific needs and preferences.Furthermore, the research emphasises the importance of managing integrated care at the service delivery level, including case management, to ensure that the elderly receive the support and care they need. This involves a holistic approach that integrates family care with community-based care and modern elderly care, aiming for a seamless and effective care system that enhances access, quality, user satisfaction, and efficiency. The study provides insight into the complexities and potential of integrating traditional practices with transitional and modern care systems for elderly, contributing to sustainable development goals in the community. This research focuses on indigenous knowledge systems with the ethno-economics and ethno-management approach Show less

Show moreThis study attempts to understand how indigenous community institutions pose an important role in sustainable community-based development, including the integration between local culture and development. Gintingan as an indigenous community institution in Subang of West Java is used as an example of how the local people of Kabupaten Subang operationalise their indigenous beliefs and systems in their livelihood, and how dynamic processes influence the utilisation of the indigenous institutions to reach the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) at the community level. In particular, this study identifies local people’s preferences towards the available ‘Plural Community Institutional System (PCINS)’ in the society: indigenous, transitional, and modern institutions. The independent and intervening factors, i.e. socio-demographic, psycho-social, as well as government and private promotional factors, are examined in the study, to understand the dynamic influences of how the local people of Subang choose their preferences to utilise the available community institutional systems. The study also seeks to contribute ethnoscientific findings to the development debate about the top-down versus bottom-up approaches in development. In particular, the discourse examines the roles of both approaches in poverty reduction, by using the community institutional systems approach. Show less
