Abstract

This study analyses the village economies of two Kiput villages in the Marudi District, examining the relationship between traditional practices, resource utilisation, and modern economic forces. Using qualitative research methodologies, the study reveals the distinct socioeconomic systems, cultural values, and livelihoods that constitute these communities. Agricultural methods, local trade dynamics, and community-based resource management are among the key areas of inquiry. The findings demonstrate the Kiput people’s inherent resilience and adaptation in balancing customary traditions with external economic demands, sustaining sustained livelihoods while preserving cultural legacy. This approach contributes significantly to the broader discussion of rural economies and indigenous development in Southeast Asia. Furthermore, it emphasises the significance of combining ancient wisdom with modern economic tactics in order to promote resilience. By investigating these complex links, policymakers might design more effective measures that promote both economic growth and cultural preservation in similar areas.
