Abstract

Religious counselors are the spearhead profession in the spread of religion while representing the government in delivering religious and development programs in the national and local level. They are not only consist of civil servants (PNS) employees, but also non-civil servants (non-PNS) employees. For those who already have PNS status, their careers are generally more certain and in a safe position. On the contrary, for those with non-PNS status, they are in a dilemma. On the one hand, their existence really has important meaning in the midst of the rise of various religious issues. But on the other hand, they are in a stagnant career condition, there is no career certainty and lack of attention compared to the PNS. Therefore, basically it is necessary to empower non-PNS religious counselor. The research result shows that the government through the Ministry of Religious Affairs actively has attempted to empower non-PNS religious counselor with the Islamic Information Information Management System and the E-PAI application. In addition the government has made efforts such as training and coaching, examining performance reports, making clear guidelines or regulations, and upgrading the salary up to 100 percent. The research method used in this study is descriptive qualitative type and emphasizes on the study of literature.

Abstract

The repatriation of Indonesian Migrant Workers (IMWs) does not merely generate economic challenges but also produces new socio-cultural dynamics of livelihood survival. One emerging strategy is to use culinary experiences acquired in Taiwan as the foundation for micro-enterprises in rural Java. Nevertheless, former IMWs are required to undertake adaptation and modification processes to construct a halal image for Taiwanese cuisine. In this context, halal Taiwanese cuisine functions not only as an economic commodity but also as an instrument of gastrodiplomacy that negotiates identity, market preferences, and socio-religious legitimacy at the local level. This study employs a qualitative case study design in Banyuwangi, a region recognized as a concentration area for former IMWs. Data were collected through participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation related to halal Taiwanese culinary activities operated by former IMWs. The findings reveal that: first, the success of halal Taiwanese culinary enterprises in Banyuwangi is strongly determined by their capacity to adapt to local tastes and community needs; second, these enterprises contribute to the strengthening of five livelihood capitals of former IMWs, namely human, social, financial, physical, and natural capital; and third, gastrodiplomacy operates as an intangible livelihood asset that transforms migration experience into social legitimacy and economic sustainability for former IMWs.
