Abstract

The phenomenon of child labor in rural areas such as Sei Musam, Langkat District, North Sumatra Province is often explained solely through an economic perspective, while the psychological and social dynamics of children remain largely unexplored. This study aims to uncover the socio-psychological factors shaping children's decisions to work at school age, emphasizing the importance of integrating children's internal perspectives and their social environment in understanding this phenomenon. Using a qualitative approach with a case study design, data were collected through semi-structured interviews with nine child workers and nine parents or supporting informants, and analyzed using thematic analysis techniques. The results of the study indicate that children's decisions to work are influenced by three main aspects of Bandura's social-cognitive theory: low self-efficacy in formal education, observational learning from the surrounding environment, and the reciprocal determinism mechanism between individuals, the environment, and behavior. Children are not only pressured by the school system but also motivated by a permissive social environment that normalizes child labor. Working becomes a means for them to build their identity, gain social recognition, and feel more psychologically empowered. These findings imply the need for social interventions that not only emphasize legal and economic dimensions but also consider children's motivations, perceptions, and social dynamics more comprehensively. This study makes an original contribution to the study of child labor by proposing a more comprehensive socio-psychological approach that focuses on children's subjective experiences, which have been largely overlooked in previous studies.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the potentials and challenges of globalizing Indonesia’s policy of religious moderation within the ASEAN and broader international context. Amid growing polarization rooted in religion, extremism, and identity-based conflicts, the Indonesian government—through the Ministry of Religious Affairs—has developed the religious moderation policy as both a normative and strategic framework to preserve harmony within plural societies. Using a qualitative approach based on case studies and document analysis, this research draws on primary data from official reports by the Ministry of Religious Affairs and secondary data from relevant international sources. The findings indicate that Indonesia’s model of religious moderation has begun to gain attention in regional and global forums, particularly through its integration into educational initiatives, interfaith dialogue platforms, and diplomatic arenas such as ICROM and KMBAAA. Nevertheless, several dysfunctions persist: resistance from ideological groups, elitist and symbolic implementation, inconsistency with ongoing domestic discrimination, and the ceremonial nature of international actor involvement. These findings underscore the urgent need for more inclusive, community-based, and consistent strategies if religious moderation is to evolve into a global value system. This study offers an original contribution by positioning Indonesia’s religious moderation not merely as a domestic policy, but as a transnational normative model relevant for diplomacy and religious studies.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the self-efficacy of Teti Kirnawati, SKM, MH, the female subdistrict head in Tegal Barat, and its impact on leadership performance in public administration. This research explores how self-efficacy influences a woman’s ability to succeed in leadership roles within a male-dominated public sector. Using a qualitative approach, this study employs techniques such as interviews, observations, and document analysis. The findings show that Teti Kirnawati’s self-efficacy, shaped by her professional experience, social support, and strong self-belief, plays a crucial role in her success in leading and making confident decisions. The study also reveals how family support, education, and role models contribute to strengthening women’s self-efficacy in public office. The implications of this research highlight the need to strengthen gender equality by empowering women through education, social support, and the removal of structural barriers. The study suggests that women with high self-efficacy can play a significant role in improving the quality of governance. This research contributes new insights to the study of female leadership in Indonesia and offers practical insights for policies aimed at creating a more inclusive environment for women in government.

Abstract

This study aims to examine adolescents’ involvement in online gambling practices and its impact on moral degradation by tracing its causal factors and the forms of deviant behavior that emerge. The urgency of this research is based on the widespread accessibility of online gambling among teenagers and the weakening of social control in the digital era. A qualitative method with a descriptive phenomenological approach was employed. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with six male adolescents in Pahlawan Subdistrict, Medan Perjuangan District, Medan City, and analyzed using an interpretative phenomenological approach. The findings reveal that adolescents’ engagement in online gambling is driven by peer influence, easy access to digital technology, interest in sports and the illusion of control, compulsive and addictive behavior, and as a form of escape from psychological pressure and boredom. Gambling activities are financed through pocket money, parental allowances, and even the sale of personal belongings. The primary impact of this practice is moral degradation, manifested in habitual lying, manipulating parents, incurring debts under false pretenses, and stealing or pawning goods. This study contributes to the discourse on adolescent deviant behavior by highlighting often-overlooked moral and social dimensions. The findings also carry important implications for youth protection policies, value-based digital literacy enhancement, and social interventions involving families, schools, and communities. The originality of this research lies in its focus on the moral experiences of adolescent online gamblers in a specific urban local context, which has rarely been explored in previous studies.

Abstract

This article examines changes in social mobility in Bogor following the introduction of railways in the early twentieth century by positioning rail transport as a key infrastructure in the process of colonial urbanization. The study demonstrates that railway construction in Bogor cannot be understood merely as a technical innovation in transportation, but rather as an economic–political instrument that integrated the hinterland into the administrative and economic networks of the Dutch East Indies. Using a historical approach grounded in colonial archival sources and secondary references in the form of peer-reviewed academic articles and credible media reports, this research analyzes the relationship between railway development, social mobility, and the transformation of urban space during the period 1900–1930. The findings show that railways operated as a colonial mobility regime that simultaneously expanded horizontal mobility among indigenous populations—through intensified spatial movement and occupational diversification—while failing to open vertical mobility in an equitable manner. Access to education, official positions, and social status remained constrained by colonial structures based on race and class. In addition, railway lines and stations functioned as urban nodes that reconfigured the spatial organization of Bogor according to the logic of timetables, economic extraction, and colonial administration. Consequently, mobility and urbanization in Bogor were produced in a differential manner through colonial infrastructure that both accelerated movement and normalized social inequality. This article argues that railways functioned as a politically charged agent of social change and contributes to the historiography of colonial transportation in Indonesia through an analytical lens centered on mobility, power, and social stratification.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role of dynamic governance in accelerating stunting reduction in Sumedang Regency, West Java, with a focus on the mechanisms of sensing, seizing, and transforming as well as the orchestration of multi-actor collaboration. This research is important because stunting remains a critical challenge for Indonesia in achieving the 14% target by 2024, while existing studies are mostly dominated by medical and nutritional perspectives rather than governance aspects. The study employed a qualitative research approach with a case study design, in which data were collected through in-depth interviews, Focus Group Discussions (FGDs), participatory observation, and document analysis. The findings reveal that Sumedang possesses strong dynamic governance capabilities: (1) sensing through data-driven policies utilizing Riskesdas and e-PPGBM, (2) seizing through adaptive regulations and cross-sectoral coordination with Regent Regulation No. 82/2018 and the implementation of the Eight Convergence Actions, and (3) transforming through institutional innovation with the SIMPATI platform and the establishment of a permanent stunting task force. These capabilities are strengthened by the collaborative roles of local government, NGOs, village administrations, health cadres, and the private sector. The integration of digital governance and participatory mechanisms has enabled Sumedang to successfully reduce stunting prevalence from 32.2% in 2019 to 27.6% in 2022, and further to 7.89% in 2023. The implications of this study affirm that dynamic governance can serve as a replicable model for other regions to overcome bureaucratic rigidity, strengthen cross-sectoral partnerships, and enhance evidence-based decision-making in public health policy. The originality of this research lies in positioning stunting reduction not merely as a health intervention but as an innovation in adaptive governance, thereby filling the gap in the literature that rarely discusses the intersection of governance, technology, and community participation in public health policy.

Abstract

This study analyzes how climate change functions as a threat multiplier that drives forced migration in the coastal areas of Sukabumi Regency, West Java, through a political economy lens and the human security framework. The study advances the argument that migration from coastal regions does not arise solely from natural disasters as physical threats, but from the cumulative process of environmental and economic vulnerability that gradually delegitimizes the viability of life in places of origin. Using a qualitative case study approach, the research collected data through in-depth interviews with key stakeholders—namely the Environmental Agency of Sukabumi Regency, the Sukabumi Office for the Protection and Services of Indonesian Migrant Workers (P4MI), the Sukabumi branch of the Indonesian Migrant Workers Union (SBMI)—as well as prospective migrants from coastal communities, and complemented these data with policy document analysis and official online sources. The findings show that climate change has tangibly undermined the economic base of coastal communities through the intensification of tidal flooding, rainfall instability, coastal abrasion, and infrastructure damage, which directly weakens the fisheries sector, coastal agriculture, and local tourism. These ecological disruptions precipitate the collapse of household economic security, as reflected in income volatility, rising debt burdens, and the narrowing of livelihood options, thereby framing migration as a survival rationality rather than a free choice of social mobility. In this context, migration frequently occurs through non-procedural channels, significantly increasing vulnerability to labor exploitation, human trafficking (tindak pidana perdagangan orang), and violence in destination countries. By applying the human security framework, this article demonstrates the simultaneous interconnections among environmental security, economic security, and personal security in the lived experiences of forced migration among Sukabumi’s coastal populations. The theoretical contribution of this study lies in conceptualizing forced migration not as a binary category, but as a spectrum of experiences shaped by structural pressures—climate change, political–economic inequality, and weak social protection—thereby positioning migration as a symptom of systemic failure in ensuring human security in coastal regions that are increasingly vulnerable to climate change.

Abstract

This study examines how religious legitimacy shapes and reorders human security discourse within policies granting mining concessions to religious organizations in Indonesia. It departs from the growing involvement of religious actors in extractive sectors and the resulting implications for the protection of people, the environment, and affected communities. Using a qualitative approach grounded in critical discourse analysis and the hegemony theory of Ernesto Laclau and Chantal Mouffe, the study analyzes state statements, elite pronouncements from religious organizations, and national media discourse through systematic coding and relational mapping with NVivo. The findings show that religious concepts—most notably maslahat—operate as a hegemonic nodal point that binds claims of development, welfare, moral obligation, and nationalism into a single chain of equivalence that stabilizes mining concession policies. Within this configuration, human security is not explicitly rejected; rather, it becomes disarticulated and reduced to technical and procedural concerns through the normalization of ecological risks, livelihood vulnerabilities, and social impacts as routine consequences of development. Furthermore, the involvement of religious organizations marks a transformation of religious roles from moral guardians to extractive actors through a mechanism of antagonism displacement, whereby structural conflicts between the state and citizens shift into internal moral debates within organizations. Theoretically, this study affirms that human security constitutes a contested discursive arena rather than a neutral normative framework. It contributes to extractive politics scholarship by demonstrating how religious authority can function as a hegemonic mechanism that stabilizes extractive development while marginalizing ecological and social protection.

Abstract

This study analyzes how stigma toward higher education is produced and sustained in the coastal community of Perupuk Village, Batu Bara Regency, North Sumatra. The article argues that low participation in higher education is not determined solely by economic constraints and access, but by social processes that delegitimize higher education as a life choice perceived as impractical and uncertain. Using a qualitative approach, the study draws on field observations and interviews with fifteen informants consisting of working youth and parents. The findings show that the community recognizes higher education as symbolically valuable—as a marker of intelligence and social status—yet weakens it in practice through family- and community-level risk calculations. Community members perceive higher education as costly, long-term, and lacking guarantees of employment, especially when contrasted with coastal work that provides immediate income and visibly contributes to household livelihoods.Stigma emerges through everyday social interactions, including evaluative community language, the circulation of narratives about unemployed university graduates, early-work culture, and family norms, which collectively frame work as the safest, most realistic, and most meaningful life orientation. Drawing on the social stigma theory of Crocker, Major, and Steele, the article demonstrates that stigma operates as a collective symbolic mechanism that lowers the legitimacy of the identity of prospective students/students. Bourdieu’s concept of habitus helps explain why this delegitimation appears natural and stable: dispositions toward early work, shaped by coastal lived experience, reproduce preferences for short-term returns and suppress long-term educational investment. Practically, efforts to increase higher education participation in coastal areas require interventions that go beyond financial assistance to include cultural-symbolic strategies that restore the legitimacy of higher education as a viable life pathway.

Abstract

This study examines how traditional fisher families in Dahari Indah Village, Talawi Subdistrict, Batu Bara Regency, North Sumatra, understand and produce happiness amid the structural economic uncertainty of the fisheries sector. Departing from a critique of welfare approaches that reduce happiness to material indicators, this research argues that fisher family happiness cannot be understood linearly as a function of income stability. Instead, it emerges from a complex configuration of economic adaptation, family relational dynamics, and religious faith. The study employs a qualitative phenomenological approach, involving ten fisher families through field observation and in-depth interviews. The findings show that income fluctuations resulting from limited fishing equipment and environmental conditions are perceived as part of the rhythm of everyday life rather than as crises that automatically negate happiness. Families instead produce happiness through practices of economic simplicity in household management, supportive family relationships, and the ability to interpret life pressures through patience, acceptance, and gratitude. Religious practices—such as daily prayers, Quranic study gatherings, and supplication—function as everyday routines that regulate emotions, reduce anxiety, and cultivate inner calm amid economic uncertainty, while simultaneously strengthening psychological resilience and the stability of domestic relationships. Theoretically, these findings demonstrate that happiness in coastal communities constitutes a relational, contextual, and religious practice of everyday life. This study enriches the understanding of happiness as an ethical-spiritual condition, resonating with Al-Farabi’s concept of sa‘ādah and aligning with the psychological well-being perspective, which emphasizes self-acceptance, positive relationships, and meaningful life orientation under structural constraints. Practically, this article underscores the importance of coastal development policies that extend beyond income enhancement to include family strengthening, mental health support, and community-based religious practices.
