Abstract

Cireundeu village, a traditional village in South Cimahi West Java Indonesia has its own unique way of coping with Covid-19 pandemic. Despite being a traditional village, the residents of Cirendeu are in high mobility as workers in the nearby city, hence the exposure to Covid-19 was quite present. This article explores how the Cireundeu indigenous group dealt with the Covid-19 pandemic. This study employed a qualitative approach, particularly descriptive method. The data was conducted mainly by interviews with community figures. ”˜Governing the common’ by Ostrom (2000) was used as a theoretical lens in analysing the data. This study found that the traditional group in Cireundeu were able to manage their local resources (from the nearby forests) for the benefit of their community members. They performed Nyinglar Sasalad ceremony as a symbol of communal attitude towards the plague, complemented with herb and Rasi (cassava-made rice) consumption to strengthen the immune defence. This study is expected to be a reference for a mitigative action in dealing with pandemic through the use of local tradition and ways of living.

Abstract

Introduction: The rise of the internet has revolutionized the way businesses operate and people interact globally, without exception, including Islamic finance. This paper aims to investigate whether or not the level of internet users, GDP per capita, exchange rate, labor force, and poverty are the determinants of the increase of the Islamic Finance Index (IFI) in Indonesia and Malaysia. Methods: This research is a quantitative study that employs a balance panel regression and causality tests for the period 2013 to 2020 quarterly. Results: It is empirically found that there was a relationship between internet users and other macroeconomic variables on IFI in the long term, which was significant. However, only the labor force and exchange rate have significantly and negatively impacted IFI. While the remaining variables were expected to be positive, poverty uniquely did not contribute to the performance of Islamic finance. Furthermore, the empirical findings portrayed that all determinants influenced the endogenous variable, but not the contrary. Conclusion and suggestion: By analyzing and delving into the link between internet users, macroeocnomic factors and Islamic finance, this study fills the literature gap which will be a guide for both policymakers and academies to grasp what dominant variables to prioritize for the acceleration of Islamic finance rectification in both Indonesia and Malaysia, aligned with the increasing rate and impact of internet users.
