Abstract

This study examines the complex dynamics of Indonesian Islam amidst the rise of global Islamic fundamentalism, focusing specifically on processes of radicalization and counter-radicalization within the archipelago. Indonesia, as the world’s largest Muslim-majority nation, presents a unique case due to its historically pluralistic and moderate religious landscape, which now faces increasing pressure from extremist ideologies. The primary objective of this research is to identify the key drivers of radicalization among Indonesian Muslims and to critically assess the effectiveness of existing counter-radicalization strategies implemented by the government and civil society organizations. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, this study combines a quantitative analysis of survey data from 500 university students and religious leaders across Java and Sumatra with qualitative in-depth interviews. The qualitative component involved 30 participants, including former extremists, religious scholars, and policymakers, providing nuanced insights into their experiences and perspectives on radicalization and deradicalization. Results indicate that socio-economic grievances, misinterpretations of religious texts, and online propaganda are significant factors contributing to radicalization, particularly among younger demographics. In conclusion, Indonesian Islam demonstrates significant resilience against fundamentalist encroachment, largely due to its strong civil society and established moderate religious organizations.

Abstract

Background. Financial inclusion is one of the main strategies in improving the economic welfare of rural communities. Access to formal financial services can help increase the economic capacity of individuals and communities, but there are still obstacles to their adoption and utilization. Financial literacy factors, infrastructure limitations, and socio-cultural aspects are challenges that affect the effectiveness of financial inclusion in supporting community economic empowerment. Purpose. This study aims to analyze the role of financial inclusion in the economic empowerment of rural communities and identify factors that affect the level of utilization. The main focus of the research is to examine the relationship between access to financial services and increasing people's economic capacity, especially through a financial literacy approach. Method. The research method used is a quantitative approach with a survey technique on 70 respondents who are small business actors in rural areas. Data were collected through questionnaires and interviews, then analyzed using descriptive statistical and regression methods to measure the impact of financial inclusion on community economic empowerment. Results. The results of the study show that access to formal financial services has a positive impact on increasing business and income of rural communities. Financial literacy is an important factor that determines the effectiveness of the use of these services, where individuals who have a better understanding tend to be more productive in managing finances. Financial education and infrastructure support have proven to contribute significantly to accelerating the adoption of formal financial services. Conclusion. Inclusion not only requires access to financial services but also the right educational strategies so that it can be used optimally. The implications of this study show the need for a community-based approach and more adaptive policies to ensure the success of financial inclusion in encouraging the economic empowerment of rural communities.

Abstract

Global climate imperatives necessitate a transition to a Green Economy, placing Community-Based Forest Management (CBFM) at the forefront. However, existing Social Forestry (SF) schemes frequently prioritize conservation compliance over generating resilient, high-quality livelihoods, leading to persistent community precarity and equity concerns despite high participation rates. This study aims to systematically analyze the quality and stability of green jobs created within SF schemes and, critically, to develop a Green Jobs-Ecological Justice (GJEJ) Framework that links labor outcomes with the ethical tenets of Recognition, Participation, and equitable Distribution. A sequential explanatory mixed-methods design (QUAN to QUAL) was employed. The quantitative phase utilized a structured survey (N=450) to map job stability and demographic disparities. This was followed by qualitative case studies at four purposively selected sites (n=80 key informants) to investigate the institutional mechanisms of ecological justice. Findings revealed a 78% participation rate but a low overall Income Stability Index (45.9), concentrated in low-skill, seasonal labor. Inferential analysis demonstrated that the institutional Recognition of Local Ecological Knowledge significantly correlates with reduced income disparity (? = -0.38), whereas deficient Participation mechanisms reinforce existing demographic inequalities, particularly affecting women and youth. The study concludes that SF success is not determined by job volume but by the institutionalization of justice. The GJEJ Framework is proposed as the necessary policy tool to ensure the future of forest management is truly sustainable, resilient, and equitable.

Abstract

The environmental “attitude-action gap” persists, as most “green apps” fail to motivate users or achieve long-term financial sustainability. This study aims to design, develop, and test a mobile game framework that bridges this gap by integrating behavioral psychology with a sustainable social entrepreneurship model. Design-Based Research (DBR) approach was used, culminating in a 6-week, mixed-methods pilot study (n=500). Data was collected via in-game analytics, pre/post-test surveys (Pro-Environmental Behavior Scale, PEBS; Intrinsic Motivation Inventory, IMI), and qualitative interviews. The intervention yielded strong engagement (28.1% Wk6 retention) and a statistically significant increase in self-reported Pro-Environmental Behaviors (PEBS) (p < .001, Cohen’s d = 0.82). High intrinsic motivation (4.4/5.0 IMI) was observed, with ‘Social Relatedness’ (? = .45) being the strongest predictor of retention. The B2C social enterprise model was validated., when co-designed as a social enterprise, is empirically validated as an effective and sustainable framework for motivating PEBs. The model successfully bridges the attitude-action gap by prioritizing social connection.
