Abstract

This article examines the central issue of why poverty reduction in middle-income countries does not automatically lead to a substantive transformation of inequality. Using Indonesia as a strategic case, it analyzes the paradox between declining poverty rates and persistent inequality within an increasingly technocratic development framework. The study adopts a qualitative-interpretive design based on secondary data and policy document analysis, covering World Bank, OECD, and the UNDP Human Development Report as well as successive Indonesian RPJMN documents. The analysis reveals three recurring patterns: first, inequality is framed as a governable development problem through categories such as vulnerability, economic insecurity, and opportunity gaps; second, policy interventions are legitimized through the language of growth, productivity, competitiveness, human capital, and targeting; third, beneficiaries are represented primarily through administrative categories—poor and vulnerable households, the bottom 40 percent, and marginalized groups—rather than as political subjects with voice and rights. These findings show that poverty reduction does not automatically produce substantive equality, particularly when inequality is managed as a technocratic problem rather than addressed as a question of structural justice. The article argues that the central challenge of development lies not only in reducing deprivation, but also in transforming how inequality is framed, justified, and governed. It therefore calls for a shift from inclusive growth toward transformative equality grounded in redistribution, recognition, and representation.

Abstract

Lombok Island has considerable tourism potential, but it also has an equally significant potential for natural disasters. Kuta Village is one of the villages with such potential. Its tourism potential lies in its status as the Mandalika Special Economic Zone (SEZ), while its potential for natural disasters, such as tsunamis and floods, stems from its geographical location bordering the Indonesian Ocean. Therefore, efforts to mitigate risks and prepare for natural disasters are crucial. This study aims to analyze and examine the challenges in the process of risk mitigation and disaster preparedness in the Kuta Mandalika Tourism Area. The theory used in this study is Pierre Bourdieu's Social Practice Theory. This study uses a qualitative approach through the phenomenological study method. Informants were selected using purposive sampling, while data collection was conducted through observation, interviews, and documentation. The results of the study indicate that the implementation of risk mitigation and natural disaster preparedness activities in the Kuta Mandalika tourism area involves various parties and stakeholders. The involvement of these actors and institutions plays a role in the formation of habitus and adds capital to support mitigation and preparedness efforts. The capital available in the arena is transformed into knowledge, networks, and infrastructure facilities to support natural disaster mitigation and preparedness efforts, thereby producing social practices. However, in practice, challenges such as structural barriers, cultural barriers, and participatory barriers act as obstacles in the implementation of risk mitigation and disaster preparedness efforts. These challenges also lead to conflicts arising from the presence of dual arenas, which result in clashes of interests and capital

Abstract

Child marriage remains a persistent socio-cultural problem in Indonesia, particularly in North Lombok. Economic limitations or education factors do not merely drive this Phenomenon. Still, it is deeply rooted in the local socio-cultural structures that regulate community behavior, particularly among Generation Z. This study aims to analyse the socio-cultural construction of child marriage among Generation Z in North Lombok through the theoretical perspective of social construction proposed by Peter L Berger and Thomas Luckmann. This Research employs a qualitative phenomenological approach to unpack practices, community structures, and symbolic power embedded in local tradition. The findings demonstrate that child marriage remains socially reproduced due to the internalisation of customary traditions such as merarik, religious legitimation, social stigma related to age norms, and the persistence of patriarchal gender relations embedded within local cultural institutions. Although the internet and social media provide alternative channels of information, these platforms have not significantly shifted long-standing communal values that shape individual decisions. Consequently, the construction of marital knowledge among Generation Z emerges through the dialectical processes of externalisation, objectification, and internalisation within familial settings, community life, and digital environments. The study concludes that the prevalence of child marriage among Generation Z in North Lombok is not solely a result of individual preferences, but rather are relations of socio-cultural forces that shape perceptions, meanings, and subsequent actions related to marriage.

Abstract

Tourism-led development can expand employment and business opportunities while simultaneously producing uneven social outcomes. This study examined how institutional rules, access to resources, and community agency shaped differentiated development outcomes in Kuta Village within Indonesia’s Mandalika Special Economic Zone. An interpretive qualitative single-case study was conducted with ten participants. Community members’ and business actors’ perspectives were collected through semi-structured interviews, while institutional and local elite perspectives were obtained through an online qualitative questionnaire containing open-ended questions. Nonparticipant observation and documentary materials provided additional contextual evidence. Data were analyzed using abductive thematic analysis informed by Giddens’ Structuration Theory. The findings showed that tourism development expanded employment, entrepreneurship, market access, and opportunities for livelihood adaptation; however, participants differed in their capacity to convert these opportunities into secure and sustained benefits. Unequal access to land, capital, commercial space, markets, strategic information, institutional networks, and decision-making authority contributed to differentiated economic outcomes and varying levels of community influence. Residents exercised agency through entrepreneurship, trading, skills development, and livelihood adaptation, while participation was stronger in economic activities and program implementation than in strategic decision-making processes. The findings indicate that more equitable development requires broader access to resources, substantive participation in decision-making, and differentiated capacity-building strategies.
