Abstract

This research highlights the importance of research into socio-economic inequality in Indonesia, particularly in Maluku Province, with a focus on Buru Village. This research uses qualitative methods, namely observation and interviews, to explore the impact of economic equalization policies on socio-economic inequality at the local level. From September 2022 to March 2023, there was a decrease in the Gini Ratio, which shows a positive indication of economic equalization efforts. However, the impact of this decline was unevenly distributed between urban and rural areas. The results of this study show that although Maluku Province is classified as low in economic inequality by World Bank standards, there are significant challenges that need to be addressed to prevent a potential increase in inequality in the future. The analysis highlights that factors such as access to resources, economic opportunities, and infrastructure differences between urban and rural areas are key elements affecting economic distribution in Maluku. The research provides policy recommendations to improve inclusiveness in economic growth, with the aim of achieving more equitable and sustainable development across the province. Recommendations include improved access to education and training, better economic infrastructure in rural areas, as well as policies that support the development of micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) as a key driver of local economic growth. As such, this research not only provides a deeper understanding of the dynamics of socio-economic inequality in Maluku but also offers concrete solutions to redress existing economic disparities and promote inclusive growth for all communities in the region

Abstract

Advances in digital technology, particularly social media, have brought about fundamental changes in the social interaction patterns of the younger generation. These changes not only include the way young people communicate and interact, but also have an impact on the dynamics of social life and the preservation of local culture. This study aims to analyze how social media affects the social interaction patterns of the younger generation and its implications for social life and local culture. A qualitative approach was used in this research, with literature study methods and in-depth interviews with the target group consisting of teenagers and youth in various social environments. The results show that social media facilitates wider connectivity and accelerates information exchange, enabling young people to build social relationships without geographical boundaries. However, on the other hand, high reliance on digital interactions leads to less face-to-face communication, which can reduce the depth of interpersonal relationships and weaken social ties within local communities. Exposure to global culture through social media has the potential to shift local cultural identity, both in communication patterns, lifestyles, and social values. This phenomenon can lead to changes in the mindset and behavior of the younger generation who are more likely to adopt foreign cultures than maintain their own cultural heritage. However, social media can also act as a tool to strengthen and promote local culture if utilized with the right strategy. A balanced approach is needed between the utilization of social media and the preservation of local culture, both through digital education and policies that support cultural integration in the digital world
