Buru Island Community Prohibition Expressions

Abstinence is an example of a people’s culture that is still practiced today. The goal of this study is to discover the many types of abstinence found on Buru Island, particularly in Waimiting Village, as well as to investigate the social function of abstinence and to quantify the benefits of abstinence on the lives of the inhabitants of Waimiting Village, Buru Regency. Researchers utilize this strategy to directly participate in the implementation of culture in order to collect data and learn about or see existing traditions, such as abstinence culture. Observation, interview, and documentation were the three components of the data collection technique. The researcher analyzes the information gathered after it has been acquired. The term “analysis†refers to the process of decoding data so that meaning and conclusions may be formed from it. The findings of the study reveal that abstinence has an implicit and explicit meaning among the Buru community, particularly in Waimiting Village. The cause and effect of abstention are two elements of the statement. The Buru community’s manifestation of prohibition encompasses religious, educational, traditional, and health aspects in addition to meaning and structure.
