Abstract

This article aims to determine the political ecology of land conversion into shallot farming land in Enrekang Regency with reference to political ecology indicators by Bryant and Bailey, namely: risks and benefits of actors (explaining the follow-up and benefits of the political ecology of land use change that occurs), impacts that arise (analysing the impacts that are caused), and relations between actors (analysing the relationship between each interest of the actors involved). This type of research uses a qualitative method that aims to provide a descriptive description of the political ecology of land conversion into shallot farming land in Enrekang Regency. Data sources consist of primary data obtained through interviews and secondary data taken from official documents, notes, reports, and archives that can be supported by the integrity of the primary data. The results of the study show that there are interests of the actors so that land conversion can occur; the impact arising from the expansion of shallot fields results in floods and landslides; and relations between expansion actors occur because there are no regulations or local rules that limit the conversion of land to land agriculture in Enrekang District.

Abstract

This study examines fisherman community voters' political engagement in Covid 19 in the 2020 Regional Head Election in Tritiro Village, Bontotiro District, Bulukumba Regency. This qualitative research method analyses primary and secondary data using interview, observation, and documentation. According to the study, (1) Active Participation: The fishing community participates in the post-conflict local election by campaigning for certain candidates openly, placing banners for candidate pairs, socialising the programme for the next 5 years if mandated by the community, and most of the fishing communities choose one Paslon because of the 4 existing candidates, one may change and (2) Passive Participation: the fishing community participates passively because the problem occurs almost every general election and events have not been adequately analysed for the next participant. First, political parties' candidates are old. (2) campaign promises are not fulfilled with political realities, (3) post-conflict local election organisers lack socialisation, (4) candidate candidates are considered too much talk and not realised after taking office, and (5) the community participates passively because each community has a different perspective. (6) There are more pressing issues and (3) the Abstain group (Golput) or apathetic groups: Fishing communities rarely skip district head elections in Bulukumba Regency this year. Even if fishing villages are apathetic and think an election is pointless, they believe their one vote cannot influence the outcome.

Abstract

This study examines the partial and simultaneous impact of Identity Politics on the Electability of Village Head Candidates in Layoa Village, Gantarang Keke District, Bantaeng Regency. The research used a quantitative approach with descriptive research type. The sampling technique used was saturated sampling with the use of Likert scale instruments, and the data were analyzed using descriptive statistical techniques and simple regression analysis with the help of SPSS software version 26. The results showed that partially, the legitimacy identity indicator (X1) had an impact of 49.9%, resistance identity (X2) of 64.2%, and project identity (X3) had an impact of 66.2% on the electability of Village Head Candidates. The impact is measured through simple regression for each identity indicator. Simultaneously, Political Identity significantly affects the electability of Village Head Candidates, as indicated by the Fcount value of 916.773 with a significance level of 0.000, smaller than 0.05. The magnitude of the variable's impact is measured by the R Square value of 0.908, which means that 90.8% of the variation in electability can be explained by the Identity Politics variable. The remaining 9.2% is attributable to other factors not examined in this study.
