Abstract

The Indonesian government has implemented specific measures that have negatively impacted the environmental sector to enhance economic growth. In response to worldwide pressure and growing internal awareness, the Indonesian government implemented "pro-environment" policies by endorsing many international and regional accords and revising legislation. This article examines the Indonesian government's policy orientation in addressing deforestation, specifically whether the strategy prioritises economic or environmental considerations. Through the utilisation of normative juridical research methodologies, a statutory approach and a case approach, it was determined that the policies issued by the Indonesian government conflict with one another. These policies encompass several issues. Firstly, granting Forest Concession Rights, which should ideally prioritise forest sustainability, unfortunately, leads to extensive forest destruction. Secondly, the haphazard granting of concession permits is another concern. Lastly, the MP3EI and MIFEE programmes conflict with Law Number 32 of 2009, resulting in a significant loss of 76% of peat land in Papua. Furthermore, the lack of robust law enforcement regarding deforestation also exacerbates the accelerated pace of deforestation. Thus, it is evident that the Indonesian government is giving more importance to the economic sector than the environmental sector.

Abstract

Local wisdom encompasses community-derived knowledge and practices transmitted through generations, highlighting the importance of balance with the environment. In Indonesia, traditional methods like the size in Papua and subak in Bali are crucial for maintaining ecological equilibrium. This study seeks to investigate the influence of local wisdom on environmental management and assess the degree to which Indonesian environmental policy facilitates or obstructs its application. This research employs a normative legal method and literature analysis to analyze laws, regulations, and customary practices about environmental governance. The findings indicate that although several legislative instruments—such as Law No. 32/2009 on Environmental Protection and Law No. 5/1990 on Conservation—recognize and endorse traditional knowledge, obstacles remain. Modernization, divergent commercial interests, and insufficient local government backing frequently marginalize Indigenous knowledge. Furthermore, the execution of policies is often inconsistent and occasionally detrimental. The study asserts that incorporating indigenous knowledge into environmental policy formulation is crucial for sustainable resource management in Indonesia. Enhancing legal acknowledgment, promoting multi-stakeholder cooperation, and increasing policymakers' awareness are essential.  Acknowledging local knowledge guarantees ecological sustainability and promotes social fairness for indigenous populations

Abstract

This study explores the practice of legal pluralism in environmental governance through an in-depth analysis of customary law integration in Bali, Indonesia. As a province that maintains strong Indigenous legal traditions, Bali presents a unique setting where "awig-awig" (customary regulations), "subak" (irrigation institutions), and traditional villages actively contribute to natural resource management and ecological protection. The purpose of this research is to examine how these indigenous legal institutions operate alongside state environmental laws and to assess the normative and institutional synergies or tensions that arise. Employing a normative juridical method, this study analyzes constitutional provisions, statutory environmental regulations, and regional laws while integrating case illustrations from Penglipuran, Tenganan, and Ubud villages. The findings indicate that community-based enforcement mechanisms grounded in local norms and social sanctions provide resilient and context-specific approaches to sustainability. However, the coexistence of customary and statutory systems also exposes challenges related to authority fragmentation, legal uncertainty, and policy misalignment. The study concludes that enhancing the legal status of indigenous institutions and developing cooperative governance frameworks are essential steps toward achieving inclusive, adaptive, and culturally embedded environmental management. These findings contribute to the growing global discourse on legal pluralism and support the integration of Indigenous Ecological Knowledge (IEK) within national and international environmental agendas.

Abstract

The proliferation of social media has transformed platforms like Twitter into dynamic arenas for expressing public sentiment during geopolitical crises. This study examines global public opinion on the Gaza and Ukraine conflicts by employing a deep learning-based sentiment analysis model utilizing a Bidirectional Gated Recurrent Unit (Bi-GRU) architecture. A total of 24,177 tweets were collected and pre-processed, followed by sentiment labeling using a hybrid lexical approach that combines VADER and TextBlob. Feature extraction was conducted using the TF-IDF method, and the Bi-GRU model was trained and evaluated using standard performance metrics. The model achieved an accuracy of 88.06% and an average F1-score of 85.07%, demonstrating superior performance in recognizing sentiment, especially for negative expressions. Word cloud analysis further revealed the dominance of emotionally charged terms such as "genocide" and "pray for Gaza," indicating the strong affective orientation of online discourse. The study confirms the efficacy of Bi-GRU in handling informal and contextually complex texts. It highlights the role of social media in articulating collective emotions and shaping public narratives during conflict. These findings offer methodological contributions to the field of natural language processing and practical implications for real-time crisis monitoring, policymaking, and humanitarian communication strategies.Proliferasi media sosial telah mengubah platform seperti Twitter menjadi arena dinamis untuk mengekspresikan sentimen publik selama krisis geopolitik. Studi ini meneliti opini publik global terhadap konflik Gaza dan Ukraina dengan menggunakan model analisis sentimen berbasis pembelajaran mendalam yang memanfaatkan arsitektur Bidirectional Gated Recurrent Unit (Bi-GRU). Sebanyak 24.177 tweet dikumpulkan dan diproses terlebih dahulu, kemudian diberi label sentimen menggunakan pendekatan leksikal hibrida yang menggabungkan VADER dan TextBlob. Ekstraksi fitur dilakukan menggunakan metode TF-IDF, dan model Bi-GRU dilatih serta dievaluasi menggunakan metrik kinerja standar. Model ini mencapai akurasi sebesar 88,06% dan rata-rata skor F1 sebesar 85,07%, menunjukkan performa unggul dalam mengenali sentimen, terutama untuk ekspresi negatif. Analisis word cloud lebih lanjut mengungkap dominasi istilah bermuatan emosional seperti “genocide” dan “pray for Gaza,” yang menunjukkan orientasi afektif yang kuat dalam wacana daring. Studi ini menegaskan efektivitas Bi-GRU dalam menangani teks informal dan kontekstual yang kompleks, serta menyoroti peran media sosial dalam mengartikulasikan emosi kolektif dan membentuk narasi publik selama konflik. Temuan ini memberikan kontribusi metodologis bagi bidang pemrosesan bahasa alami serta implikasi praktis bagi pemantauan krisis secara waktu nyata, pembuatan kebijakan, dan strategi komunikasi kemanusiaan
