Abstract

Social inequality and economic disparity are still deep-rooted structural problems in the lives of Indonesian society. Although various empowerment programs have been launched by local governments, many of them are symbolic and technocratic, and fail to touch the roots of social injustice. This study aims to analyze social intervention strategies in community empowerment programs through a critical sociological approach. Using a literature study method with a qualitative approach, this study examines key theories such as power relations (Foucault), symbolic power (Bourdieu), capability approach (Sen and Nussbaum), and participatory parity (Fraser). The results of the analysis show that the dominance of power in the planning and implementation of empowerment programs often ignores the local socio-cultural context and narrows the space for citizen participation. Empowerment, which should be transformative, has instead become a tool for legitimizing elite, top-down policies. Therefore, the integration of substantive capability and participatory approaches in local policies is needed to dismantle structural inequality and build democratic, just, and inclusive governance. This study emphasizes the importance of reorienting the empowerment paradigm from merely administrative to social transformation that favors marginalized groups and expands the real freedom of society.

Abstract

This study examines the integration of local wisdom values with digital technology in empowering tourist village communities in Bone Regency, South Sulawesi. Bone Regency has strong cultural values such as siri' na pacce which are the foundation of collective identity, but tourism village development policies are still uniform and do not accommodate local cultural characteristics. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection through interviews, participatory observation, and documentation in several tourist villages. Thematic analysis was conducted to understand the dynamics of the meaning of local values, technology adaptation, and community participation. The results of the study indicate tension between cultural preservation and the demands of modern digitalization. Village communities adopt technology selectively with the important role of traditional leaders as curators of cultural content. Social media is an effective means of promoting and expressing cultural identity, but low digital access and literacy are obstacles. The study emphasizes the need for an inclusive and participatory digital empowerment approach, involving all community actors to make technology an instrument for preserving and strengthening culture while encouraging sustainable socio-economic transformation of tourist villages. This model is expected to bridge tradition and modernity harmoniously in the context of local tourism development.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the Community Empowerment Program (PKM) "Creative Youth Anti-Unemployment" in improving the social skills and entrepreneurial capacity of community-based youth in Bone Regency, South Sulawesi. A descriptive qualitative approach was used with 30 research subjects, consisting of 22 youth program participants, 3 community leaders, 3 training facilitators, and 2 supporting partners from MSMEs and the local government, selected through purposive sampling. Data collection techniques included Focus Group Discussions, in-depth interviews, and field observations. Data analysis was conducted using the Miles-Huberman model through the stages of reduction, presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results show that the community plays a significant role in developing participants' social skills, including communication, leadership, and teamwork. Practice-based training and mentoring improve entrepreneurial capacity, product design, financial management, and business marketing skills. The integration between the community and training encourages participants' readiness to start independent businesses and reduces the risk of unemployment. The PKM program successfully fosters a resilient, creative, and proactive entrepreneurial mindset and strengthens social networks that support business sustainability. These findings confirm that community-based youth empowerment is an effective strategy for economic independence and sustainable social capacity development.
