The problem of poverty in Indonesia is a national problem that requires long-term solutions. As part of the government's efforts, village heads are authorized to manage village funds from the APBN with the aim of reducing poverty in villages. However, there are still many poor people, including in Aceh Province. In 2021, the number of poor people in Aceh will reach 850,260 people, with the poverty percentage increasing by 0.25 points to 15.53 percent, or an increase of 16,020 people according to data from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS). In Aceh Jaya Regency, the percentage of poor people reached 13.23% even though this area received village funds for each village. This study aims to determine the role of village heads in overcoming poverty through the use of village funds. The research method uses a field approach with data collection techniques through interviews, documentation, and observation. The results of the study show that before realizing the budget, the village head prepares a village development program plan with the assistance team and community leaders.

Abstract

The unemployment rate in Indonesia, particularly among Generation Z, remains relatively high despite showing a decline between 2023 and 2024. A mismatch between workforce skills and industry needs, along with the dominance of the informal sector, are the main causes. This study examines the role of outsourcing, a system of delegating work to third parties, as a government strategy to reduce unemployment in Yogyakarta and its contribution to achieving the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 8: decent work and economic growth. Using a qualitative approach, the results indicate that outsourcing provides broader and more flexible employment access for young job seekers. Although it still faces criticism regarding job stability and labor protection, this mechanism has proven to support the creation of new jobs and promote inclusive economic growth. Thus, outsourcing has the potential to become an effective policy instrument in sustainably expanding employment opportunitiesThe unemployment rate in Indonesia, particularly among Generation Z, remains relatively high despite showing a decline between 2023 and 2024.

Abstract

This study explores the da'wah strategies employed by Islamic religious counselors from the Ministry of Religious Affairs in Semarang Regency to enhance the spiritual values of inmates at the Class IIA Correctional Facility in Ambarawa. Using a qualitative-descriptive approach and categorized as field research, the study collects primary data through interviews with religious counselors and inmates, while secondary data are gathered from documentation, photographs, and related records of religious guidance activities. The results indicate that the applied da'wah strategies—sentimental (emotional engagement), rational (Islamic teachings and advice), and sensory (contextual adaptation)—play a significant role in fostering inmates' spiritual awareness. Furthermore, the internalization process of spiritual values follows three stages: takhalli (eliminating negative behavior), tahalli (cultivating noble character), and tajalli (reinforcing self-transformation and faith). The findings show that the systematic and need-based da'wah approach contributes effectively to enhancing inmates’ understanding and practice of Islamic values.

Abstract

In recent decades, humanity has absorbed vast amounts of information concerning ecological and cosmological contexts of the human–nature relationship, alongside a growing awareness that human actions have contributed significantly to the disruption of planetary balance and sustainability. At the same time, humans live in deep interconnection with their environment, shaping unique identities and meanings in life.This study aims to develop a holistic understanding of the spiritual relationship between humans and nature. It also serves as a philosophical contemplation on the solidarity between humanity and the universe. Methodologically, this research employs a structured combination of quantitative and qualitative approaches, utilizing interpretive and inductive data analysis techniques, along with holistic and heuristic philosophical frameworks. To strengthen empirical grounding, field studies were conducted on the environmental actions of the Pandawara Group, representing grassroots ecological resistance, and the ecological rituals and expressions of Kalangsari Pride, which embody local cosmological awareness. Findings reveal that both communities have cultivated a tangible ecological-cosmological consciousness in their activities: Kalangsari Pride roots its environmental preservation efforts in local spirituality, while the Pandawara Group develops digital-based ecological activism focusing on youth education and interregional influence. Their actions demonstrate that social solidarity with nature can emerge through spiritual narratives and community collaboration. Furthermore, local perspectives—particularly those of community leaders—reflect an acknowledgment of the eco-spiritual values promoted by these groups. This study affirms the need for a holistic approach that integrates spiritual, educational, and collective dimensions to achieve sustainable environmental conservation.

Abstract

Housing is one of the basic human needs, but there are still many people who do not have a decent place to live. This phenomenon reflects the gap in the fulfillment of basic needs, including in urban areas such as Cirebon City. This research aims to understand the subcultures formed in communities living in the cemetery area, including adaptation patterns and strategies developed in facing various life struggles. The research used a qualitative method with a rapid ethnographic approach, where researchers were directly involved through observation, interviews, and documentation for approximately six months at the research location, namely Kampung Katiasa, Harjamukti Village, Cirebon City. The results showed that the people in the Kampung Katiyasa area are the fifth generation to live in the Kemlaten Public Cemetery (TPU) area. The experience of living side by side with death gave birth to a new meaning to the concept of home and death itself. The community faces various struggles, such as inner struggles, land ownership conflicts, and difficulties in accessing the economy. To overcome this, they developed survival strategies, including not building new buildings, saving money to face the possibility of eviction, and avoiding activities in the cemetery area at certain times. These findings show that the people of Kampung Katiasa tend to use adaptive strategies in responding to social and economic conditions.
