Abstract

Author-written

This study aimed to identify and explain the types and benefits of plants in the Kaili Da'a community. This research used a descriptive research type with qualitative and quantitative methods. The population in this study was the Kaili Da'a people in Balane Village, Kinovaro District, and Matantimali Village, Marawola Barat District, Sigi Regency. Qualitative methods were used to determine the use of known plants by the Kaili Da'a people in the Kinavaro and West Marawola Districts in the Sigi Regency. Plants were analyzed qualitatively by grouping plant species, including regional names, Latin names, families, habitus, parts used, and the benefits of these plants. The data obtained in the field was presented in tabulations and then analyzed descriptively with a quantitative approach using the Index of Cultural Significance (ICS) equation. The people of Balane village use 15 species of plants as food, 13 species of plants as spices, 19 species of medicinal plants, 9 species of plants as animal feed, 11 species of plants used for ritual and religious customs, 4 species of ornamental plants, 4 species of plants for 3 species of aromatic and dyes, 9 species of plants as fuel and 3 species of plants used as furniture and building materials. The parts of the plant used are leaves, fruit, tubers, stems, seeds, and flowers. The Kaili Da'a people's main food is Pae (Oryza sativa L), a staple food, and additional food such as Punti and Jole (Zea mays). The highest percentage of plant used in medicines, namely 15.9% for food, it occupies the second highest at 12.6%. Meanwhile, plants are the lowest in dyes and aromatics, namely 2.5%. Based on this study, a high ICS value was obtained, namely, purpureum Roxb, and there were only 2 species of jeringau, Kaluku (Cocos nucifera L.) and Pae (Oryza sativa L.).

Introduction

Indonesia is one of the countries known as "Mega biodiversity" countries, namely countries that have a wealth of biodiversity in the world [1,2] . Besides that, it is also known as a country rich in cultural diversity [17] . Widjaja et al. (2014) [4] state that Indonesia has the second highest biodiversity after Brazil for terrestrial flora and fauna and even the highest when combined with Indonesia's marine biodiversity [4] . This wealth must be utilized and managed optimally to provide benefits. Ismanto (2007) [5] added that the wealth of biodiversity is one of the basic assets in implementing national development so that it can be used to improve people's welfare. However, the utilization must be in accordance with the ability (carrying capacity), characteristics, and function [5] . According to Purwanto et al. (2020) [17] , unfortunately, the high diversity in the archipelago is underappreciated, resulting in the loss of many of these cultures. Studies to document and study traditional wisdom are urgently needed because traditional knowledge is often compatible with sustainable development goals, as discussed at the World Summit on Sustainable Development in Rio de Janeiro in 1992 and Johannesburg in 2002. Judging from its plant wealth, Indonesia has around 25,000-35,000 species of plants, half of which have the potential to be utilized for timber and fruit trees [15] . De Padua et al. (1999) [7] describe thousands of plants that are useful as medicinal plants in Southeast Asia, including Indonesia. Apart from that, plants are also a source of timber, edible fruits and nuts, spices and rigging, and others [18,9,10] . One of the indigenous peoples in Indonesia, especially in Central Sulawesi, who has long used plants for various daily needs is the Kaili Da'a tribe, who live in Kinovaro and West Marawola Districts, Sigi District, Central Sulawesi Province.

The Da'a tribe is an indigenous community of native people who live in the Sigi Regency. The tribe lives in forest and mountain areas. They live a nomadic life, moving from forest to forest while looking for places to open new fields. After the crops in the fields are harvested, they will look for new land again [16] . The people of the Kaili Da'a tribe who live in the area have a close relationship, a high sense of brotherhood between the village people who live very peacefully and peacefully and uphold the philosophy of "NOSAINDO NOSAUMA NOSABATUTU'. Besides that, they have local knowledge systems in utilizing various plants used in everyday life, both as food ingredients, medicinal ingredients, buildings, traditional rituals, and industrial materials. However, information about this local knowledge system has never been documented, especially in ethnobotanical studies, so it is necessary to conduct research in this area. The habit of using plants to support their life is very interesting to study. The local wisdom of the Kaili Da'a people is also interesting to study. This is very valuable knowledge and is a cultural wealth that needs to be explored so that this traditional knowledge is not lost. The researcher was encouraged to find out more by researching the Ethnobotany of the Kaili Da'a Community in Kinovaro and West Marawol Districts in Sigi Regency, Central Sulawesi. This study aimed to identify and explain the types and benefits of plants in the Kaili Da'a community.

Materials and Methods

This research used a descriptive research type with qualitative and quantitative methods. According to Martono (2010) [12] , descriptive research aims to describe the character of a variable that occurs in society through interview and observation techniques. Qualitative methods were used to determine the use of known plants by the Kaili Da'a people in the Kinavaro and West Marawola Districts in the Sigi Regency. Plants were analyzed qualitatively by grouping plant species, including regional names, Latin names, families, habitus, parts used, and the benefits of these plants. Meanwhile, by calculating the ICS value, the quantitative method was used to determine the level of knowledge, types of plants, and use of plants. The ICS calculation results showed the level of importance of each useful plant species by the community. This research was conducted from May to June 2021 in Balane Village and Matantimali Village, Sigi District, Central Sulawesi Province. The population in this study was the Kaili Da'a people in Balane Village, Kinovaro District, and Matantimali Village, Marawola Barat District, Sigi Regency. The selection of informants (respondents) was carried out by Snowball Sampling (13). Then the selection of key informants by setting the criteria, namely: Aged 15 -60 years more, Have status and role in society, Have knowledge about the use of plants, Recognizes the entire terrain extensively. The tools used were stationery, books, the questionnaire, a camera to document research objects, the book Serie Flora Malesiana (Volumes 1-16), PROSEA Series (Plant Resources of Southeast Asia), Indonesian Useful Plants volumes 1-4 (Heyne, 1987), a list of Indonesian medicinal plants, the Atlas of Indonesian Medicinal Plants Volumes 1-6 and the Smart Book of Medicinal Plants to identify plant species, meter and label paper. The data obtained in the field was presented in tabulations and then analyzed descriptively with a quantitative approach using the Index of Cultural Significance (ICS) equation. Plants as food ingredients aside from forests also come from gardens and fields owned by the community. The parts of the plant used are leaves, fruit, tubers, stems, seeds, and flowers. The main food of the Kaili Da'a people is what is called Pae (Oryza sativa L.), which is the staple food, and additional food such as Punti (Musa paradisiaca L.) and Jole (Zea mayz L.).
