Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on various sectors of life, including immigration policy in Indonesia. This article aims to analyze the decision-making process in Indonesian immigration policy during the COVID-19 pandemic. Using a qualitative approach, this article examines policy documents and legislation, and conducts in-depth interviews with relevant policymakers. The results indicate that the immigration policy decision-making process during the pandemic was influenced by several factors, including: (1) pressure to prevent the spread of COVID-19, (2) the need to maintain economic stability, and (3) considerations of humanitarian aspects. In response to the pandemic, the Indonesian government has issued various dynamic and adaptive immigration policies. These policies include restrictions on the entry of foreign nationals, extensions of stay permits, and the repatriation of Indonesian citizens. While these policies have been successful in suppressing the number of COVID-19 cases, they have also presented several challenges, such as negative impacts on the tourism and investment sectors. This article concludes that the immigration policy decision-making process during the COVID-19 pandemic is complex and multidimensional. The government needs to continuously evaluate and improve existing immigration policies and strengthen coordination between relevant institutions in decision-making.

Abstract

Vihara Gayatri is understood not merely as a place of worship, but as a spiritual and social space that plays a significant role in shaping the religious identity of young Buddhists. This study aims to analyze the symbolic meaning and the role of religious traditions in Vihara Gayatri, Depok, in the process of forming the religious identity of Buddhist youth amid the tide of modernization. Using a qualitative method with an anthropological approach, data were obtained through in-depth interviews with temple administrators, a romo (spiritual leader), young devotees, and visitors, supported by field observation and literature review. The findings reveal that the traditions practiced at Vihara Gayatri such as the Seven Wells ritual, the lighting of the Great Candle, and Dhamma learning activities are perceived as means of spiritual purification, moral cultivation, and social cohesion. The water from the seven wells symbolizes inner cleansing, the Great Candle represents wisdom and enlightenment, while Dhamma activities serve as a medium for internalizing Buddhist teachings. These findings align with Erik Erikson’s psychosocial identity theory, which emphasizes the role of social experience in identity formation, and demonstrate how the vihara functions as a symbolic system that reinforces the religious identity of Buddhist youth within a dynamic cultural and spiritual context.
