“…In other words, the cultural values taught from generation to generation in the Baduy tribe in terms of forest management and good for the environment are still being done. What is done by the Baduy community is in line with the understanding conveyed by Giddens that the relationship between aspects is one way of forming a process that can create a culture or pattern of behavior called habitus by Bourdieu (Chong, 2015).…”

This study contributes as a guide for the government to formulate policies that will include local communities into conservation programs and government policies. It may apply to a study of coordination with related institutions such as the Ministry of Environment and Forestry in implementing forest conservation.Originality/value This study uses primary data from the Baduy tribe, which has unique local traditional values regarding the territory and the important role of the forest.

With an increasingly assertive China and the intensifying influence of the Sinocentre, Chinese overseas who have access to Chineseness can exercise their agentic power in using their cultural capital for economic gains. Beijing has recognised the potential for diasporic Chinese entrepreneurs to contribute to the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) given their influence in Southeast Asia's economy. Correspondingly, these entrepreneurs hail the BRI as a strategic opportunity for them to turn their cultural capital into fiscal capital. Considering the increased global connectivity and new Chinese migration geographies led by the BRI, this article examines the case of Chinese business associations in Brunei Darussalam. The heterogenous responses of these ethnic Chinese and their associations to China and the BRI attest to the multiplicity and contestations of Chineseness based on different migration histories and sentiments to their ancestral land. We focus on the dynamics between the old Chinese Bruneian business elites and the more recent Chinese business migrants from Malaysia and China. An investigation of the cultural and economic politics within the Chinese Bruneian business community will provide insights into the modality of Chineseness as an economic asset that can be tactically used by diasporic Chinese entrepreneurs to maintain their social position and to respond to China's economic rise.

“…Subsequent studies into Chinese Indonesians were generally conducted using the perspective of political studies and focused more on the ways Chinese Indonesians were involved in national-level political tensions (Chen, 2022;Pearson, 2008). Previous studies have also revealed the business and social-economic privilege of the Chinese Indonesians (Chong, 2015;Efferin & Pontjoharyo, 2006;Koning, 2007). This combination of political tension and social-economic privilege puts the Chinese Indonesians in a position that does not fit with the pattern of minority groups in BAME/BIPOC studies in the Global North who are both disadvantaged racially and economically (Pols & Suci, 2021).…”

Background: This study aimed to identify the associated factors of self-harm and suicide ideation among Chinese Indonesians during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: A nonrandom sampling was performed through a nationwide online survey in Indonesia (May–June 2021). The online survey covered participants’ demographic information, suicide literacy, suicide stigma, loneliness, and self-harm and suicide ideation. A series of t-tests, χ2 tests, and hierarchical logistic regressions with the backward stepwise method were used to identify the factors associated with self-harm and suicide ideation. Responses from a total of 484 Chinese Indonesians were analyzed in this study. Results: The predictive model showed a significant goodness of fit to the observed data [χ2(17) = 174.1, p < .001; R N2 = .41]. Chinese Indonesians with an average monthly income of ≥USD 843 were found to be 0.23 times (95% CI = 0.07–0.99) less likely to experience self-harm and suicide ideation than those who did not have an income. A one-point increase in the intensity of suicide glorification and loneliness were associated with 3.06 and 3.67 increase in the chance of experiencing self-harm and suicide ideation, respectively. Conclusion: One third of Chinese Indonesians self-reported self-harm and suicide ideation during the COVID-19 pandemic. Mental health and suicide prevention intervention programs are recommended to target those with low socioeconomic status, high glorification toward suicide, and high perceived loneliness.
