A través de la creación de una serie de elementos audiovisuales para su proyección como video mapping arquitectónico en una comunidad purépecha, aquí se presenta un estudio de caso en el que la antropología y el diseño participativo se conjuntan para buscar un tipo de diálogo distinto al que comúnmente se da entre artesanos y diseñadores en México....

... It can be assumed that these names contain hopes and prayers deliberately implied by the giver, so that the people who inhabit these lands can live in an atmosphere of joy and happiness. The islands of Selayar (Mead & Lee, 2007) also have the names Pasimasunggu, which means an island that promises happiness, and Pasimarannu, an island that promises joy. The elements of hope and prayer contained in the names of geographical spaces (Nunes, 1991) both on the mainland of Selayar Island and on the islands show that Selayar Islands Regency is blessed by the creator. ...
In the sociological paradigm of space, as a place whatever its form and name as long as it is inhabited or used as a base for human activity, it is not a passive natural entity but rather dynamic. This is made possible by the spatial dialectics and social reproduction that take place accompanying the development of a space along with the meaning of it which is always changing and dynamic. This paper examines spatial identity in naming social groups and geographical areas in Sulawesi using place identity theory, social identity theory, and identity process theory. This type of research is a literature review with a sociology of space approach that uses data and analysis descriptively from a number of relevant literature. The results showed that some social group names in Sulawesi are a representation of the geographical structure of a space, so that when mentioning the name of the group or its residential center, it will reflect its spatial identity. This fact is sociologically a spatial awareness that has been created in the long history of Sulawesi as well as can be categorized as local community intelligence
... These people inhabit the islands of Sulawesi, Kalimantan, Nusa Tenggara and Maluku [2]. Mead and Lee [3] noted that the number of Bajo people living in Sulawesi Island reached 92,000 people spread across the Provinces of North Sulawesi and Gorontalo, Central Sulawesi, Southeast Sulawesi, and also South Sulawesi. ...

This region's high marine floral and faunal biodiversity ) is acknowledged in the implementation of the Coral Triangle Initiative on Coral Reefs, Fisheries and Food Security (CTI-CFF), a multilateral partnership launched in 2009 involving Indonesia, Malaysia, Papua New Guinea, Philippines, Solomon Islands and Timor Leste, and focusing on six key shared issues, including food security and marine conservation. In this paper, case studies from Indonesia and Malaysia explore the connections between conservation, food access and food availability experienced by the Bajau, an indigenous mobile population numbering approximately 1.1 million people (Mead and Lee, 2007) in Southeast Asia (Figure 1). ...

... The Bajo of eastern Indonesia (also referred to in the literature as Bajau or Bajau Laut, and who refer to themselves as Sama people) 3 belong, ethno-linguistically, to a larger Sama-Bajau subgroup that migrated to Indonesia at the beginning of the nineteenth century and dispersed throughout eastern Indonesia over the following centuries (Stacey 2007). The number of ethnic Bajo in Indonesia is estimated to be somewhere in the range of 90,000-150,000 (Mead and Lee 2007). Bajo inhabit widespread social and economic domains through mobile livelihood strategies, which has given rise to the application of the label 'sea nomads' in both academic and popular literature. ...
The whale shark, Rhincodon typus, is a long-lived migratory species inhabiting tropical and warm-temperate
waters worldwide. Seasonal aggregations of whale sharks in shallow coastal waters of many countries have
led to the development of ecotourism industries. Whale sharks that aggregate seasonally at Ningaloo Reef in
Western Australia have a migration range within Indonesian and Southeast Asian waters. However, very little
is known about their behaviour, local migration patterns, or potential threats faced in this region. In this study,
we investigated traditional ecological knowledge of whale sharks through interviews with Bajo and other fishers
from five settlements in the Timor and Roti Islands in eastern Indonesia. We found that there are culturally driven prohibitions and customary beliefs concerning whale sharks among Bajo fishermen, who commonly sight sharks in the Timor Sea, in southern Indonesian and Timor Leste waters. Sightings are most common during the months of August to December. Interviews also indicate a low level of harvesting of whale sharks in the region. The results demonstrate the potential for combining traditional ecological knowledge and new technology to develop whale shark management strategies, and to determine the predictability of whale shark appearances as one vital factor in assessing the potential for development of small-scale whale shark ecotourism initiatives.
This research paper aims at providing a review of the literature and media coverage on the ethno-history of the Indigenous Moronene community. Thus far, there are less than a handful of sources on the ethno-linguistic identity and society that spread across the Rumbia Plain, Polea or Poleangcoastal regionand Kabaena Island in the District of Bombana, Indonesia. The review consists of the major events, which introduced external shocks to different parts of the Moronene society. It begins with the history of the ethnic settlement on the mainland of Southeast Celebes, locus of its ethno-linguistic relations with other ethnicgroups in Celebes and important ethnical structures and attributes. Furthermore, it continues with a description of the time line of major events that affect the society from the moment the country gained its independency in 1945 until the present time. We argue that ethnic and linguistic characteristics as well as these major events shape not only people’s collective actions and memory, but also their current identity, structure and patterns of social and environmental relationships. Linking this information into discussion of current social and development issues in the region is therefore a necessity.Keywords: Ethno-Linguistics, Indigenous, Moronene, Southeast Celebes
Nolde, Lance. 2009. “Great is Our Relationship with the Sea": Charting the Maritime Realm of the Sama of Southeast Sulawesi, Indonesia. Explorations: A Graduate Student Journal of Southeast Asian Studies 9 (1):15-33. Dispersed widely across the eastern seas of island Southeast Asia, Sama peoples have long caught the attention of visitors to the region. Whether in the Southern Philippines, northern and eastern Borneo, or the numerous islands of eastern Indonesia, the unique sea-centered lifestyle of the Sama has inspired many observers to characterize them as “sea gypsies” or “sea nomads,” a people supposedly so adverse to dry land that they “get sick if they stay on land even for a couple of hours.” Living almost entirely in their boats and sailing great distances in order to fish, forage, and transport valuable sea products, Sama peoples were, and often still are, depicted as a sort of “curious wandering tribe” lacking strong connections to any one place. In the last few decades, however, historical and ethnographic research on Sama peoples has compelled scholars to rethink commonplace conceptions of Sama as “sea nomads,” and has led to a more nuanced understanding of Sama cultures and livelihood practices which takes into account the profound and long-standing attachments of Sama peoples to particular places within island Southeast Asia.
