Abstract

Islamic Sharia is a religious law that regulates the rules of human life based on the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad (SAW). and based on Al-Qur’an. This study aims to analyze the dynamics of the implementation of Islamic law (Sharia) in Aceh from a contemporary socio-legal perspective. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed, using primary data collected through questionnaires and in-depth interviews, supported by secondary data from legal documents and academic literature. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis and an interactive model of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The finding reveal that the implementation of Sharia in Aceh is a complex and multidimensional phenomenon influenced not only by legal norms but also by social, cultural, and political factors. The level of public understanding of sharia varies significantly, with many individuals demontrating only a formal or superficial understanding rather than a substantive one. In Practice, sharia implementation tends to be more symbolic, particularly in visible aspects such as dress codes and ritual observances, while its ethical and social values are not fully internalized. Furthermore, the relationship between Islamic law and national law reflects a pattern of legal pluralism, where different legal systems coexist and interact, sometimes harmoniously and at other times conflictually.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the influence of church music on the religiosity of Christians in their lives as religious people and its relationship with human psychology. From there, the researchers analyzed the impact of church music on the religiosity of Christians in the Jawi Wetan Gedangan Christian Church. This study uses a psychological approach to the type of field research (grounded research). The research method used in discussing and researching this research is the descriptive method of qualitative analysis. A descriptive analysis method was used to describe the form of accompaniment music used by the Jawi Wetan Gedangan Christian Church and to analyze the influence of the congregation who attended the service. I found that church music is an essential element in worship in the Church, a complement to worship that can deepen the congregation's appreciation during prayer. The music used during worship can affect the congregation's enthusiasm to attend Church. Music creates a feeling of longing for church. The music playing can provoke the congregation's emotions so that they can express the contents of the heart that the people want to pour out to their Lord, and in this way, the feelings that are carried when entering the Church can be released and relieved.

Abstract

Community empowerment is an important effort to improve the capacity, independence, and welfare of communities, especially those living around forest areas. This study aims to analyze the role of stakeholders in empowering the Green Lawu Forest Farmer Group (KTH Green Lawu) in Berjo Village, Ngargoyoso District, Karanganyar Regency, and to identify the impacts and challenges faced by the group in the empowerment process. This study employed a qualitative method with a case study approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation. The informants consisted of administrators and members of KTH Green Lawu, Berjo Village Government, managers of Tahura KGPAA Mangkunagoro I, forestry extension officers, and Pertamina as a supporting stakeholder through its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) program. Data were analyzed using the interactive model of Miles and Huberman through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The results show that stakeholders play an important role in the empowerment process through facilitative, educational, technical, and representative functions. These roles were manifested through the provision of facilities, mentoring, training, opening access to networks, and support for productive business development. The empowerment process has had positive impacts on improving members’ capacity, creating economic opportunities, strengthening group institutions, and increasing community awareness of environmental conservation. However, the group still faces several challenges, including limited human resources, uneven member participation, limited business capital, and dependence on external stakeholders. Therefore, the empowerment of KTH Green Lawu has progressed fairly well, but it is still at the capacity-building stage and has not fully achieved group independence.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role of the Gawi dance as local wisdom in fostering religious harmony in Wologai Village, Ende Regency, East Nusa Tenggara. This research employs a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentation involving traditional leaders, religious leaders, and local community members selected purposively. Data analysis was conducted using the interactive model of Miles and Huberman, including data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that the Gawi dance functions not only as a cultural expression but also as a social mechanism that strengthens social cohesion. The practice of Gawi creates an inclusive social space, enhances trust, and builds interreligious social networks. From a social capital perspective, Gawi serves as a medium for producing bridging social capital that connects individuals from different backgrounds through shared collective experiences. Furthermore, this cultural practice gains religious legitimacy, allowing it to be widely accepted within the community. This study highlights that local wisdom has significant potential in promoting sustainable and context-based religious harmony. Therefore, empowering local cultural practices can serve as an alternative approach to maintaining social harmony at the community level.

Abstract

This study examines the utilization of public space by Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) along the sidewalks of Jalan Panjaitan in Gorontalo City. The phenomenon reflects a transformation in the function of sidewalks, which were initially intended for pedestrian facilities but later evolved into social and economic spaces within urban society. The research aims to analyze the patterns of public space utilization by MSME actors and the forms of social interaction emerging within the area. The study applies a descriptive qualitative method using a case study approach. Data collection techniques were conducted through interviews, observations, and documentation involving MSME actors, local residents, visitors, and related government institutions. Data analysis was carried out through stages of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing by applying Jürgen Habermas’s public sphere theory perspective. The findings indicate that the sidewalks of Jalan Panjaitan are occupied by approximately 50 business units, including coffee vendors, snack sellers, fried rice traders, meatball vendors, flower merchants, and cake sellers. The presence of MSMEs not only contributes economic benefits to the community but also encourages social interactions that make the area more vibrant, particularly during nighttime activities. Nevertheless, these activities also affect the primary function of the sidewalks by reducing pedestrian comfort and increasing congestion within the area.

Abstract

Traditional modes of transportation such as becaks are part of the informal economy and have long facilitated the movement of people in cities across Indonesia. This study aims to examine the presence of becak drivers amidst the rise of app-based transportation and the strategies they employ to survive in Palangka Raya. The study employs a qualitative descriptive approach, with data collected through interviews, field observations, and documentation. Informants were selected using purposive sampling, while data analysis was conducted using the interactive model by Miles and Huberman. This study employs James C. Scott’s “Survival Mechanisms” theoretical framework, which encompasses three strategies: leveraging social networks, seeking alternative income sources, and adhering to the principle of “cost-saving.” The findings reveal that the presence of online ride-hailing services significantly impacts the economic conditions of becak drivers. This results in low and unstable daily incomes. In response, they seek other jobs, change their operating locations, and wait for passengers without a clear plan. Although their numbers have decreased, pedicab drivers remain because they play an important social role around traditional markets.
