Abstract

In multicultural societies, the regulation of worship loudspeakers, particularly those affecting the Muslim community, has sparked significant debate, ranging from strong support to outright rejection. This study seeks to explore the social tensions arising from these regulations, focusing on the culturally diverse regions of Bali and Manado. Employing a qualitative approach, interviews were conducted with religious leaders, community figures, and local government officials to gain insight into the community's reactions. The findings reveal two predominant responses. On one hand, some view the regulations as unnecessary, believing that the established tradition of tolerance has allowed diverse religious practices to coexist peacefully without significant issues related to loudspeakers. On the other hand, others feel that the loudspeaker use is excessive, disturbing their rest and seeking quieter times. Some members of the Muslim community perceive the regulation as discriminatory, noting that other religious groups might also use loudspeakers at higher volumes. This study offers valuable insights for policymakers on how regulatory interventions can influence social harmony in diverse environments, highlighting the importance of adjusting regulations to respect religious diversity and equitably manage public auditory spaces.

Abstract

This research explores the perception and motivation of saving from customers of the Branch Office (KC) Bank Syariah Indonesia (BSI) in Manado. This study uses a qualitative approach to understand how customers view Islamic banking services and the factors motivating them to use them. The research method includes in-depth interviews with BSI customers. Interviews are used to explore customers' views on Islamic banking services, the factors influencing their savings decisions, and their experiences and expectations regarding these services. The findings show that religiosity, income, and understanding of Sharia principles are essential in the motivation to save in Islamic banks. Customers choose Islamic banks not only because of their religious aspects but also because they believe in transparency and fairness in financial services based on Islamic teachings. The implications of this research are important for Islamic banks in designing more effective marketing strategies and products that suit the needs of customers with a solid religious background.
