Abstract

This article examines why and how the people of Simeulue realize food security during the COVID-19 pandemic. This research is important to reveal how the people of Simeulue can realize food security during the COVID-19 pandemic during a global community experiencing a crisis in various aspects. The author uses Max Weber's theory of social action to explain why the people of Simeulue have the motivation to achieve food security. In contrast, the Joined-up Government concept explains the synergy between stakeholders in realizing food security. This study uses qualitative research methods with data collection techniques through interviews with research informants. The study results indicate that the motivation for realizing food security for the Simeulue community is common. There are three social actions in realizing food security, namely traditional actions, value rationality actions and instrumental actions, while synergy between institutions is built through horizontal communication and coordination without elite domination by reproducing the local wisdom "Humasa Sebbel/Khumaha Heba" (planting rice at the same time).

Abstract

This article aims to examine the motivations, roles, ideologies and bases of two Acehnese women's movements, namely Inong Balee and Balee Inong. Inong Balee and Balee Inong are interesting to study, considering that these two women's movements are played by grassroots communities in Aceh. This study is a literature research. The results showed that the two basic women's movements were played by grassroots communities even though in their journey these two women's movements opened themselves up to the involvement of highly educated communities. These two women's movements have a very important role in making changes to the conditions of society that are not profitable and marginalized. Ideologically, these two movements are different even though they both have the goal of improving the situation of marginalized communities, Inong Balee has an ideology of ethnic nationalism with the aim of separating himself from the Republic of Indonesia, while Balee Inong has an ideology of injustice and marginalization.

Abstract

This research wants to reveal why and how the intercultural acculturation of the Aceh Singkil people after the 2015 religious conflict. This research wants to find new concepts, especially the local values of the Aceh Singkil people so that the religious conflicts that occur can be overcome. The researcher uses Mead's symbolic interactional theory in viewing action (cultural acculturation). In other words, in social interaction, actors are involved in a process of mutual influence. The qualitative method used in this study aims to find out what factors are capable of making the life of the Singkil community very harmonious and to find out the factors that are able to make the plural Singkil community unite and live in harmony. The results of this study show that the factors that scratched the relationship between community members and between religious communities in Suka Makmur Aceh Singkil were the construction of places of worship that did not obtain permission. The establishment of a place of worship that did not get a permit caused the other party to protest and ask for it to be controlled. The factors that make the pluralistic community of Suka Makmur Aceh Singkil able to unite are due to mutual respect and respect as well as the occurrence of cross cutting affiliation as members of the community.

Abstract

Bullying in elementary schools is a common issue that can negatively impact children's psychological, social, and academic development. Therefore, preventive efforts through socialization activities are necessary to raise awareness and understanding among students, teachers, and parents regarding bullying prevention. This community service was carried out at Seumantok Public Elementary School, West Aceh Regency, aiming to provide education on the effects of bullying and strategies for its prevention. The methods used included interactive presentations, group discussions, and bullying scenario simulations to provide participants with a comprehensive understanding. The results showed that this socialization successfully increased students' awareness of the importance of mutual respect and the adverse effects of bullying. Teachers were also trained to recognize signs of bullying and implement strategies to manage classroom conflicts. Additionally, parents were provided with guidance on creating a family environment that supports children's emotional development. Program evaluation through surveys indicated that 85% of participants felt more prepared to prevent and handle bullying cases. This community service concludes that an education-based approach, collaboration, and the involvement of all stakeholders effectively raise awareness and foster an anti-bullying culture in elementary schools. Similar programs are recommended to be implemented in other schools as part of efforts to create a safe and conducive learning environment.

Abstract

This study explores the bargaining position of Acehnese women in public policy forums through their participation in Musrena (Women’s Development Planning Forum) and Musrenbang (General Development Planning Forum) in Banda Aceh, Indonesia. Using a contemporary feminist ethnographic approach, the research documents how the Balee Inong community—a grassroots women’s network—engages with the state planning apparatus to influence gender-responsive budgeting and development agendas. Data were collected through field observations, in-depth interviews, and documentation studies involving key stakeholders at village and city levels. Findings indicate that Musrena serves as an effective platform for amplifying women’s voices in formal planning processes, offering both structural and symbolic space for women's political engagement. The institutionalization of Musrena through local regulations has significantly enhanced women's visibility and agency, particularly in negotiating budget allocations and shaping gender-equitable policies. Furthermore, the study reveals how historical narratives, religious values, and local wisdom interact with state mechanisms to produce a uniquely Acehnese model of participatory development. The research highlights the potential of localized feminist strategies in transforming hierarchical planning systems into more inclusive, bottom-up processes. It contributes to global discourses on gender budgeting, feminist governance, and community-based planning innovations.

This study aimed to reveal and provide an overview of how the Acehnese people's local wisdom, or local knowledge, has been experiencing a crisis, particularly a recent issue with paddy field management. This study was conducted in Aceh Jaya and used qualitative research. Observations and direct interviews were conducted with 17 informants. The technique for determining informants used a purposive technique. In addition to the interview, data were collected through a review of the literature and other documents on the crisis agency of local actors (keujruen blang). These related documents and articles were identified, reviewed, and analyzed. The data analysis techniques used was data reduction, data display, and verification. Reproduction of the keujruen blang authority had yet to bring the expected results.
