Tradisi Anjala Ombong masyarakat Selayar dalam perspektif geografi

Abstract

This research aims to uncover the relationship between Anjala Ombong Tradition and Selayar community in a geographical perspective. This study uses a qualitative design with a geographical approach. Data collected by using in–depth interview, field observation and documentation. Data were analyzed by using spatial approach, ecological approach, and regional complex approach. The results of this research show that the spatial perspective of Anjala Ombong tradition is the typical conditions of Sangkulu–Kulu River Estuary, that is: the water conditions including salinity (22%), current strength of water (0.071 m/s), water depth (1–1.2 m), and surface temperature (28oC) at July–August, the conditions are suitable for the environment of juku 'lompa. Ecological perspectives in the Anjala Ombong tradition appear in human interaction with the environment, namely the prohibition of fishing, catching juku lompa rollers, the installation of uhara, violations of the restrictions in tradition, and restrictions on fishing time. The regional–complex perspective of Anjala Ombong tradition can be seen by areal differentiation that creates interaction between one region and another, namely: the migration of juku lompa from Komba Beach headed for the Sangkulu–Kulu River Estuary and the change in the time of the tradition due to external factors.
