Abstract

This study examines the political behavior of the Chinese ethnic community in Lhokseumawe, Aceh, during the 2024 Legislative Election. The research explores how this minority group participates in politics and what factors shape its voting decisions within a post-conflict environment. A qualitative descriptive approach was applied, using in-depth interviews, participant observation, and document analysis conducted between April and May 2025. Ten informants were selected through purposive and snowball sampling, representing community leaders, business actors, first-time voters, and a local academic. The findings show that participation among the Chinese community is active in the formal sense but limited in scope. Voting is treated as a civic responsibility, while involvement in party or campaign activities is minimal. Economic considerations are the strongest influence on political choice, as respondents associate stable governance with the continuity of their businesses. Family and community networks play a guiding role in decision-making, and national parties are preferred for their perceived neutrality and inclusiveness. These orientations produce a pattern of political behavior that values stability and social harmony over ideological alignment or power competition. Interpreted through the lens of rational choice and social identity theories, the findings suggest that political participation among this minority group reflects a pragmatic adaptation to local conditions. Engagement in electoral processes serves as both an affirmation of citizenship and a strategy to maintain coexistence within a socially sensitive environment. The study provides insight into how small ethnic minorities in post-conflict areas negotiate democratic participation through cautious and context-aware practices.

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji peran Pemerintah Daerah melalui Badan Kesatuan Bangsa dan Politik (Kesbangpol) serta Komisi Pemilihan Umum (KPU) Kabupaten Asahan dalam mendorong partisipasi masyarakat pada Pemilu Serentak 2024. Latar belakang penelitian ini didasarkan pada meningkatnya angka partisipasi pemilih di Kabupaten Asahan yang mencapai 74% dari total Daftar Pemilih Tetap (DPT) berjumlah 556.475 orang. Meski demikian, kenaikan partisipasi tersebut masih menghadapi sejumlah kendala, seperti keterbatasan transparansi data pemilu pada situs resmi KPU Asahan, akses informasi yang belum merata, serta kepercayaan publik yang belum sepenuhnya terbangun kembali.Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan deskriptif kualitatif dengan teknik pengumpulan data melalui wawancara mendalam, observasi lapangan, dan dokumentasi. Informan penelitian meliputi pihak KPU Asahan, Kesbangpol, tokoh masyarakat, serta pemilih. Hasil penelitian memperlihatkan bahwa KPU Asahan berperan aktif dalam melakukan sosialisasi politik kepada masyarakat dengan memanfaatkan berbagai media dan pendekatan partisipatif. Sementara itu, Kesbangpol berfungsi sebagai mitra strategis yang memperkuat pendidikan politik berbasis komunitas sekaligus menjadi jembatan komunikasi antara pemerintah dengan masyarakat. Adapun hambatan utama partisipasi pemilih antara lain keterbatasan akses terhadap informasi pemilu yang terpercaya, rendahnya literasi politik, serta kurang transparannya kanal digital resmi KPU. Di sisi lain, kerja sama antara KPU dan Kesbangpol menjadi faktor pendukung penting dalam mengedukasi pemilih serta membangun kesadaran politik, khususnya melalui pendekatan komunikasi politik yang adaptif dan berbasis lokal. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa keberhasilan peningkatan partisipasi pemilih tidak hanya diukur secara kuantitatif, tetapi juga ditentukan oleh kualitas strategi komunikasi serta keterbukaan informasi yang disediakan oleh lembaga terkait

Abstract

This community service activity was carried out to preserve Acehnese culture for the younger generation of the diaspora in Kampung Acheh, Kota Yan, Kedah Darul Aman, Malaysia, through Intergenerational Cultural Transmission. This activity was carried out against the backdrop of concerns about the loss of Acehnese cultural identity among the younger generation, who tend to be influenced by globalization and the process of cultural assimilation. In collaboration with the Institute of Social Sciences at Universiti Putra Malaysia, training and guidance were provided to the local community, involving young people and the older generation, related to cultural preservation in the form of preserving the Acehnese language and documenting culture in the digital field. Cultural preservation groups were formed at the village level and sustainable cultural education modules were developed. This activity is expected to be a solution to the weakening of Acehnese cultural identity among the diaspora and to strengthen its preservation in the future. This activity integrates information technology and optimization processes to accelerate cultural preservation efficiently and effectively.
