Abstract

This research seeks to explore the perspectives of the Acehnese community regarding Rohingya refugees, emphasizing the contrast between compassion and animosity. The study utilizes a content analysis approach, drawing on secondary data from local Acehnese online media and relevant literature concerning refugee matters in Indonesia from 2022 to 2024.The findings reveal two predominant perspectives: sympathy driven by humanitarian compassion and Islamic solidarity, and hostility arising from concerns over socio-economic burdens and anti-immigrant sentiments. Sympathy is reflected in calls for aiding war victims, while hostility is linked to fears of resource competition and cultural tensions. The implications of this research are twofold. First, it highlights the necessity for culturally sensitive interventions to address misconceptions and fears that foster hostility. Second, it emphasizes the importance of public education campaigns and community engagement to strengthen values of compassion and solidarity. These findings provide valuable insights for policymakers and humanitarian organizations to develop strategies that balance humanitarian assistance with sustainable socio-economic policies, ensuring harmonious coexistence between host communities and refugees.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to investigate the tangible impact of digital technology on improving the livelihoods and income of fishermen in Batam, in alignment with the principles of a sustainable blue economy. Research Methodology: The research employed a quantitative and qualitative approach through direct field surveys conducted with 52 local fishermen in Batam. The data collected focused on digital tool usage, income changes, and perceived benefits and challenges. Results: Findings reveal that digital technologies—such as meteorological forecasting applications and online marketing platforms—serve as crucial drivers for economic transformation. Approximately 80% of the observed income increases are attributable to digital literacy and technology use. Notably, over 50% of respondents reported a direct rise in income after adopting digital marketing strategies. Conclusion: Digitalization significantly boosts fishermen’s income and economic resilience. However, this transition is impeded by limited technological adaptation among older generations and inadequate internet infrastructure in coastal regions. Limitations: The study is limited by its sample size and geographic scope, focusing solely on fishermen in Batam, which may limit the generalizability of the results to other archipelagic regions. Contribution: This research offers critical insights for policymakers by highlighting the importance of accessible technology training and robust internet infrastructure. These are key to ensuring equitable digital transformation and enhancing the global competitiveness of local fishing communities in Batam.
