Abstract

This study examines the public's perception of the impact of PT. BAI's existence in Bintan Regency. The research aims to investigate the changes that PT. BAI brings to people's lives and the impact of these changes on the surrounding environment. The research uses a qualitative approach with descriptive methods, including observations, interviews, and documentation. In-depth structured face-to-face interviews were conducted with informants selected through purposive sampling. The study employs Anthony Giddens' Juggernaut Modernity Theory, which describes how a large machine can control or destroy in modernity. The study found that the community views PT. BAI's presence positively due to its ability to create employment opportunities and improve people's welfare, but negatively due to PT. BAI's land tenure practices. PT. BAI is both a Juggernaut that benefits the community by providing jobs and reducing unemployment, and a Juggernaut that cannot be controlled with regard to land tenure. The study concludes that PT. BAI's existence brings positive impacts such as reducing unemployment and increasing people's welfare, as well as negative impacts on land tenure.

Abstract

This study investigates the perception of the people of Merawang Village, Lingga Subdistrict towards the COVID-19 vaccine. Despite the government's efforts to accelerate vaccination as a way to combat the coronavirus outbreak, many people have not yet received the vaccine due to confusing information about its side effects. This study aims to examine the community's perception towards the vaccine in order to shed light on this issue. The research methodology employed is descriptive qualitative, with 13 informants and data collection techniques such as interviews, documentation, and field observations. The results suggest that the confusing information about the vaccine's side effects has affected people's knowledge and attitudes, leading to increasing hesitation in getting vaccinated. Social interactions also play a role in shaping these perceptions. However, the government's policy requiring people to go through administration and travel agents has motivated some people to get vaccinated. Overall, this study provides valuable insights into the challenges faced in vaccine acceptance and the need for clear communication to address misconceptions.
