Abstract

The waste management crisis in Indonesia, particularly in urban areas, has spurred the emergence of various digital technology-based innovations, including digital waste bank applications such as eRecycle, Octopus, and Rekosistem. This study aims to analyze the role of these technologies in changing community participation patterns and their impact on community social dynamics. The research employed a qualitative approach using in-depth interviews, participant observation, and document study in three major cities : Jakarta, Makassar, and Surabaya. Findings indicate that economic incentives were the initial motivation for app use, but ecological awareness grew with continued participation. Technology also plays a role in shaping new forms of social capital through system transparency, participatory reporting, and strengthening community networks. However, there is a transformation from collective social interaction patterns to more individualistic digital participation. In addition, digital literacy barriers, limited access to technology, and social stigma against waste sorting activities remain serious challenges in creating inclusive engagement. The conclusion of this study confirms that the success of digital waste bank applications is highly dependent on the integration between technological innovation and community-based social approaches. This study recommends the need for strategies to strengthen digital social capital, public education, and policies that guarantee fair access and participation in technology-based waste management.

Abstract

The waste emergency in Indonesia is not only a technical issue, but also a social problem closely related to community participation patterns. This study aims to analyze how communities engage in waste management efforts through two main approaches: environmentally based social movements and strengthening community independence. A qualitative approach was used with case studies in three urban areas: Jakarta, Makassar, and Yogyakarta. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and community documentation. The research results show that community participation grows through a combination of ecological awareness, social mobilization, and local leadership. Social movements are able to raise collective spirit, while community independence determines the sustainability of the program. Success factors include the presence of driving figures, networks between residents, and local policy support. This research confirms that synergy between social movements and strengthening community independence is an important foundation in responding to the waste emergency in an inclusive and sustainable manner.

Abstract

This article critically examines the dominance of Western epistemology in global knowledge production and its impact on the marginalization of local knowledge in the Global South. Using the frameworks of decolonizing knowledge and epistemic justice, it investigates how global academic structures perpetuate inequalities in the validation, distribution, and legitimation of knowledge. The research identifies several key challenges to epistemic independence, including intellectual dependency, the marginalization of indigenous knowledge, language barriers, infrastructure limitations, and internal fragmentation. In response, the article proposes decolonial strategies such as curriculum reform, strengthening local research institutions, fostering South–South collaboration, and advocating for policies that recognize diverse epistemologies. The objective is to create a more equitable, inclusive global knowledge ecosystem that reflects the social realities of the Global South.

Abstract

This study investigates the impact of digitalization on the preservation of local knowledge within the Ammatoa Kajang community in South Sulawesi. It specifically addresses the research questions: (1) What forms of local knowledge in the Ammatoa Kajang community are suitable for digitization? (2) What are the challenges and opportunities in digitizing local knowledge in this context? (3) How can participatory and ethical approaches ensure the preservation of local knowledge through digital technologies? Local knowledge, including value systems, customary law, and ecological rituals like Ma'bara, is increasingly at risk of extinction due to globalization and cultural commodification. Employing a qualitative ethnographic approach, the study reveals that digitalization can serve as an effective tool for expanding intergenerational knowledge, provided it is guided by participatory principles, community control, and strong cultural ethics. The findings suggest that without the active involvement of indigenous communities, digitalization may undermine the symbolic meaning and spirituality of this knowledge. The study also highlights key limitations, including the risk of decontextualization and cultural misrepresentation when digitalization is not community-driven. This research underscores the need for collaborative strategies, digital-based cultural protection policies, and approaches aligned with local values to safeguard traditional knowledge in the digital era.
