Abstract

Cities that are considered promising by rural communities to seek a better welfare life force them to look for space to fulfill their needs. Public places then become an alternative for them in making a living such as in shopping places, flyovers, and at road intersections. Makassar as one of the metropolitan cities is also inseparable from economic problems and social problems such as the existence of street children. This research was conducted using an in-depth interview method conducted to informants who the author considers capable of providing data and information related to the causes of the increase in the number of street children in Makassar city. The theory used is the theory of space production. The increase in the number of street children in Makassar City is caused by three factors, namely urban development factors. the second factor is urbanization carried out by rural communities to obtain a more decent life, and the third factor is the exploitation behavior carried out by individuals and families of these street children.

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis secara kritis efektivitas kebijakan penarikan Pajak Bumi dan Bangunan (PBB) di Desa Kalimporo dari perspektif peningkatan kesejahteraan masyarakat. Dengan menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dan desain studi kasus, data dikumpulkan melalui wawancara mendalam dengan aparat desa, pejabat Dinas Pendapatan Daerah, dan warga, observasi lapangan, serta studi dokumentasi terhadap peraturan dan laporan terkait. Hasil penelitian mengungkapkan bahwa meskipun struktur administrasi dan dokumen Working Plan telah disusun secara sistematis, realisasi penerimaan PBB hanya mencapai rata-rata 63,26% dari target yang telah ditetapkan. Temuan ini menyoroti adanya kendala operasional seperti rendahnya kesadaran masyarakat dalam memenuhi kewajiban pajak, ketidaktepatan pengisian dan keterlambatan penyampaian SPPT, serta kurang optimalnya koordinasi dan pengawasan antar aparat, yang berdampak pada terbatasnya penggunaan dana untuk peningkatan infrastruktur dan fasilitas publik. Penelitian ini memberikan kontribusi teoretis dan praktis dengan mengisi celah dalam literatur mengenai hubungan antara kebijakan perpajakan dan kesejahteraan masyarakat di tingkat desa, serta menekankan pentingnya sinergi antara perencanaan strategis dan pelaksanaan operasional. Disarankan agar penelitian selanjutnya mengintegrasikan data kuantitatif dan pemanfaatan teknologi informasi untuk meningkatkan akurasi pengumpulan data, mempercepat proses administrasi, dan mengoptimalkan mekanisme pengawasan serta sosialisasi kepada masyarakat, sehingga optimalisasi penerimaan pajak dapat memberikan dampak yang lebih signifikan terhadap peningkatan kesejahteraan masyarakat.

Abstract

The fading of identity issues indicates that the direction of local politics in Selayar has shifted and changed. However, this change does not mean that it does not bring new problems to the local political landscape in Selayar, South Sulawesi, Indonesia. We aim to uncover the emergence of oligarchy in place of identity politics as a new phenomenon in the Selayar context. This research uses the concept of oligarchy to understand it, which is described qualitatively. In general, we argue that the failure of identity politics to consolidate power has given birth to oligarchies that are intertwined with familism in the local sphere. The emergence of oligarchy at the local level is strongly influenced by the disorientation of identity politics and the fragile socio-economic conditions of the community so that the practice of buying and selling votes cannot be avoided, which is used by oligarchs to take advantage unilaterally.

Abstract

The patron client bond between punggawa (boat owners) and sawi (crew members) in Bababulo’s coastal community, Majene Regency, demonstrates how contemporary electoral politics have reconfigured longstanding patterns of exchange and moral obligation. This research underscores a significant shift in the basis of punggawa power, which no longer depends solely on economic assets, but increasingly on the capacity to convert social and symbolic resources such as trust, indebtedness, prestige, and protective roles into political capital that can effectively mobilize votes. Employing a qualitative approach, data was collected through in-depth interviews and participant observation with eleven purposively selected participants, including punggawa, sawi, village authorities, and local political figures. Narrative analysis was applied to uncover processes of meaning-making, power negotiation, and mobilization embedded in everyday interactions. The findings show that the authority of a punggawa is continually reinforced through longstanding moral debts and social trust, which later become political commitments during election periods. Punggawa act as intermediaries who link the fishing community to broader political structures, while sawi are not completely passive; they take advantage of electoral moments to negotiate social and economic gains. The study concludes that traditional patronage persists, but in a transformed form becoming more calculated and transactional while still rooted in moral norms and mutual dependence that have adjusted to the dynamics of modern democratic practice.
