Abstract

Background. Sufism has historically played a central role in shaping Islamic spirituality in Indonesia, yet its presence and function in contemporary contexts—particularly among urban and rural communities—remain underexplored. Amid the dynamic religious landscape of modern Indonesia, marked by increasing pluralism, conservatism, and digital religiosity, the integration of Sufi practices and values continues to adapt and evolve in nuanced ways. Purpose. This study aims to examine how Sufism is practiced, perceived, and institutionalized within both urban and rural Muslim communities in Indonesia. The research investigates the social, spiritual, and cultural factors that influence the persistence and transformation of Sufi traditions in the context of modern life. Method. Employing a qualitative comparative approach, the study conducted fieldwork in two locations: a metropolitan city (Jakarta) and a rural district in Central Java. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with 30 participants including religious leaders, followers of various tariqas (Sufi orders), and community members, supported by participant observation and document analysis. Results. Findings reveal that urban Sufi communities emphasize symbolic spirituality, self-development, and integration with digital platforms, while rural counterparts maintain traditional rituals, communal dhikr, and strong lineage-based networks. Despite contextual differences, both settings reflect a shared commitment to inner transformation and ethical living, with Sufism offering a counterbalance to materialism and ideological rigidity. Conclusion. The study concludes that Sufism continues to serve as a meaningful spiritual resource in Indonesian Islam, adapting to socio-cultural shifts while maintaining its core emphasis on personal piety and social harmony.

Abstract

Health inequality remains a persistent global challenge, influenced significantly by social determinants such as income, education, and access to healthcare. Sociological perspectives emphasize that these disparities are not merely the result of individual behaviors but are deeply embedded within social structures and systems. This research explores the impact of social determinants on health inequality and examines how public health policies address these factors. The study aims to assess how sociological insights can inform public health policies aimed at reducing health disparities, particularly in marginalized communities. A qualitative research design was employed, utilizing document analysis, in-depth interviews, and focus group discussions across various socio-economic groups. The findings indicate that socio-economic status and education are the most significant determinants of health outcomes, with individuals from lower-income and less-educated backgrounds facing higher rates of chronic diseases. Additionally, public health policies that integrate these social determinants have been more effective in addressing health inequalities than those focused solely on healthcare access. The study concludes that addressing the root causes of health disparities through sociologically informed policy frameworks is essential for reducing inequality and promoting more equitable health outcomes.

Abstract

Escalating deforestation and the shortcomings of conventional, state-centric forest management paradigms necessitate the exploration of alternative governance models. Hutan Adat (Indigenous Forests), managed through customary laws, represent a long-standing yet frequently overlooked approach to ecological stewardship. This research aims to analyze the principles and practices of Hutan Adat management by the Dayak community in Borneo, evaluating its effectiveness and potential as a replicable model for sustainable forest governance. Employing a qualitative case study approach, this study utilizes ethnographic observation, in-depth interviews with community elders, and participatory mapping. The findings reveal a sophisticated governance system rooted in local wisdom, spiritual values, and collectively enforced customary laws (hukum adat). This system effectively regulates resource extraction, conserves biodiversity, and ensures equitable benefit sharing, resulting in lower deforestation rates and greater ecological integrity compared to adjacent state-managed areas. The study concludes that the Dayak Hutan Adat is a robust and effective model of sustainable forest governance. Its formal recognition and integration into national policy frameworks are crucial for achieving conservation goals while upholding indigenous rights and promoting social justice.

Abstract

Increasing cultural diversity in contemporary educational settings has transformed schools into important social spaces where children encounter, interpret, and negotiate cultural differences. These interactions play a crucial role in the early formation of group identity, belonging, and social relations. This study aims to examine intercultural dynamics and the processes of group identity formation among children in diverse educational contexts, with particular attention to everyday peer interactions and classroom practices. The research employed a qualitative-dominant mixed-methods design involving classroom observations, semi-structured interviews with children and teachers, and sociometric mapping in culturally diverse primary schools. The findings reveal that children frequently form peer groups based on cultural and linguistic familiarity, while intercultural interaction increases primarily in structured learning situations supported by teacher mediation. Differences in perceived group belonging between majority and minority cultural groups indicate uneven experiences of inclusion within the same educational environments. The study concludes that cultural diversity alone does not automatically foster inclusive group identity among children. Intentional pedagogical strategies, cooperative learning structures, and supportive school cultures are essential in promoting meaningful intercultural engagement and equitable social participation. These findings underscore the central role of schools in shaping children’s early experiences of diversity and contribute to a deeper understanding of how inclusive group identities can be cultivated in multicultural educational settings.

Abstract

Digital technologies have become embedded in the routines of urban life, reshaping how individuals interact, coordinate activities, and construct social meaning. Sociological analyses that focus primarily on macro structures often overlook routine practices through which technology becomes socially significant. This study aims to examine everyday digital practices in urban communities and to analyze how routine technology use contributes to the production of social meaning, interactional norms, and perceptions of belonging. The research employs a qualitative sociological design, combining in-depth interviews, observation of everyday practices, and analysis of digital artifacts to capture lived experiences of urban technology use. The findings indicate that everyday digital practices function as socially meaningful actions rather than neutral technical behaviors. Routine engagement with smartphones, social media, and digital service applications shapes expectations of availability, responsiveness, and social visibility, reinforcing hybrid forms of online and offline interaction. Digital practices are shown to strengthen social coordination while simultaneously reproducing subtle forms of exclusion within urban settings. The study concludes that social meaning in urban communities is increasingly produced through habitual digital practices that organize everyday life. Understanding technology use as a routine social practice provides critical insight into contemporary urban social transformation and underscores the relevance of sociological perspectives in digital society research.

Abstract

Background. Spirituality in Indonesia has deep roots in mystical traditions that have been passed down from generation to generation. Previously, spirituality was only practiced by certain groups who had certain spiritual understandings and experiences. However, in recent decades, spirituality in Indonesia has undergone a significant transformation. This change involves not only how spirituality is practiced, but also how spirituality is accepted and adapted by the wider community, including the younger generation. This research aims to understand the process of spiritual evolution, from practices limited to exclusive groups to more inclusive and relevant to modern life that is increasingly open to technology and globalization. Purpose. This research aims to explore how spirituality in Indonesia adapts to social and technological developments, as well as how the younger generation integrates spirituality into their lives. Method. This study uses a qualitative approach with a case study design, which involves in-depth interviews and observations of the spiritual community in Java. Data was collected from a variety of respondents with different educational backgrounds and ages. Results. The results of the study show that spirituality has transformed to be more inclusive, with the influence of technology and social media that allows the spread of its teachings to a wider audience, including the younger generation. In addition, spirituality also underwent changes in the form of currents, such as the adoption of Contemporary Sufi teachings. Conclusion. Spirituality in Indonesia has adapted to the changing times, maintained its traditional values, and integrated technology in its practice. This research shows that spirituality has the potential to continue to develop in the midst of modernity and globalization.

Abstract

Background. Global environmental destruction is driving the search for alternative environmental ethics that is not only universal but also rooted in local wisdom. Ancient Javanese philosophy holds the concept of Rahayu which represents the harmony of the cosmos and the principle of sustainability. Purpose. This research aims to reconstruct the concept of Rahayu as a relevant framework for local ecosophy to answer contemporary ecological challenges. Method. The hermeneutical approach is used to analyze ancient manuscripts, oral traditions, and cultural practices related to Rahayu. Interviews with cultural sources and literature studies support philosophical and ecological interpretations. Results. Research has found that Rahayu contains the principles of cosmological balance, respect for nature, and resource sustainability. This value is in line with modern environmental ethics but is firmly rooted in Javanese agrarian cosmology. Conclusion. Rahayu's reconstruction produces a framework for local ecosophy that has the potential to be applied in education, policy, and environmental social movements. This concept can bridge traditional knowledge and global environmental ethical theory. This research offers a unique integration between modern environmental philosophy and Javanese local wisdom through the Rahayu concept, while presenting an analytical method that combines philosophical, anthropological, and cultural ecological approaches.
