Abstract

This study examines culinary behavior among Generation Z in Bengkulu City by analyzing its associations with price perception, taste, restaurant location, social factors, and healthy lifestyle orientation. Employing an associative quantitative design, data were collected from 384 respondents selected through purposive sampling. The analysis was conducted using multiple linear regression. The findings indicate positive associations between culinary behavior and the examined predictors, with restaurant location and social factors showing the strongest standardized contributions in the model. Price perception and taste also demonstrate meaningful associations, suggesting that economic evaluation and sensory satisfaction remain central considerations in culinary decision making. Healthy lifestyle orientation shows a smaller association; however, because the regression diagnostics indicate heteroscedasticity related to this predictor, statistical inferences for this variable should be interpreted cautiously. These results suggest that culinary consumption among the surveyed Generation Z respondents represents a socially embedded practice shaped by the interaction of practical, experiential, spatial, and social dimensions. The coexistence of fast food and traditional cuisine preferences further reflects the adaptive and hybrid nature of Generation Z consumption patterns in a mid-sized urban context. Because purposive sampling was used, the findings are not intended for probabilistic generalization to all Generation Z residents in Bengkulu City.

Abstract

Child sexual abuse (CSA) remains a critical social welfare concern in Zanzibar, where disclosure and help seeking are shaped by community norms, stigma, and institutional trust. This study synthesizes secondary sources through qualitative thematic document analysis of peer reviewed literature and policy or organizational reports (2020 to 2025) identified via a structured search and screened for relevance to sociocultural and institutional determinants of reporting and response. The analysis highlights five recurring patterns: (1) disclosure is constrained by collectivist norms that prioritize family reputation and social harmony; (2) victim blaming and gendered expectations intensify stigma and silence; (3) cultural authority and household hierarchies discourage reporting when perpetrators hold status; (4) institutional barriers, including staffing shortages, fragmented referrals, and procedural delays, reduce confidence in formal pathways; and (5) community engagement and integrated service initiatives, including One Stop Centers, show promise but remain unevenly implemented. Using ecological systems thinking and labeling processes, the study argues that silence is reproduced through interactions across community norms, family decision making, and service systems. The paper concludes by recommending culturally grounded, multi-level interventions that strengthen trusted reporting pathways while reducing stigma through community leadership engagement.

Abstract

This study examines how IPHI Semarang City manages its relationship with hajj alumni after the pilgrimage through routine programs, local coordination, and community-based religious activities. The study addresses the question of how post-hajj ties are maintained once pilgrims return to everyday life and the intense social and spiritual atmosphere of the pilgrimage begins to fade. Using a qualitative case study design, data were collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation. The primary data came from two organizational leaders and four hajj alumni who were actively involved in IPHI activities in Semarang. The data were analyzed through qualitative interpretation by focusing on recurring themes related to membership organization, religious activities, social programs, and efforts to sustain solidarity among former pilgrims. The findings show that IPHI Semarang City maintains post-hajj relationships through a set of structured organizational practices, including membership registration, majelis taklim, regular meetings, collaboration with local government, manasik haji, social donations, and an emerging Umrah savings program. These activities function as recurring points of contact that help preserve alumni ties, reinforce solidarity, and keep the social meaning of hajj active in community life. The study also finds that post-hajj solidarity does not continue automatically, but depends on repeated organizational interaction, local coordination, and shared spaces for religious and social engagement. At the same time, the continuity of these efforts is affected by practical limitations, especially the limited time of board members and the absence of a more formalized funding system.

Abstract

This study examines how the Hajj pilgrimage shapes sustained prosocial behavior among Indonesian pilgrims, with a focus on the mechanisms that support post-pilgrimage transformation. While previous studies have documented the spiritual and social impacts of Hajj, less attention has been given to how such changes are maintained in everyday life. This study addresses that gap by analyzing how internal transformation is translated into consistent prosocial behavior. Using a qualitative interpretive design, data were collected from fourteen participants across diverse regions in Indonesia through open-ended narrative responses and focused observations. Participants were selected based on demonstrated post-Hajj behavioral change to capture cases of sustained transformation. Data were analyzed through thematic coding to identify patterns of change and the processes underlying behavioral consistency. The findings show that transformation unfolds through a sequence of character reconstruction, value reorientation, and social role actualization. A key shift occurs in motivational orientation, where prosocial behavior becomes internally driven and integrated into daily routines. The study also identifies a moral anchoring process, in which the Hajj identity functions as a stabilizing reference that supports self-regulation and behavioral consistency over time. These findings suggest that the impact of Hajj extends beyond ritual experience and depends on how its meaning is internalized and sustained in social life. The study contributes to discussions on religious transformation by offering a process-based explanation of how prosocial behavior is maintained. It also highlights the importance of post-Hajj engagement in supporting long-term social outcomes.

Abstract

This study examines the Massali tradition in the Bugis community of Bompo Hamlet, Mattampa Bulu Village, Lamuru District, Bone Regency, Indonesia. Massali is a collective fasting tradition based on the restriction of animal-based foods and other customary prohibitions that continue to shape community life. The study aims to analyze the socio-cultural background of the tradition, explore the meanings attributed to the practice by community members, and examine the dynamics of its contemporary transformation. This research employed a qualitative design grounded in a sociological approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, field observations, and documentation involving fifteen informants, including customary leaders, religious figures, community leaders, health workers, and community members. The data were analyzed thematically through processes of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing, supported by source and method triangulation. The findings show that Massali originates from a long-standing customary tradition associated with ancestral authority and oral transmission within Bugis society. The tradition is understood by community members as a form of ritual discipline that expresses self-control, social responsibility, and bodily balance. It also reflects a locally grounded system of cultural health beliefs, especially through food restrictions, behavioral discipline, and ritual purification. The study further shows that Massali has undergone gradual reinterpretation in response to changing social and religious contexts, particularly through the incorporation of Islamic elements into the ritual process. These findings indicate that Massali continues to function as a cultural institution that connects ancestral heritage, social regulation, and contemporary religious life in the Bugis community of Bompo.

Abstract

Santri psychological well-being is an important aspect of pesantren (Islamic boarding school) education, as it supports students’ adaptation, emotional stability, and engagement in daily activities. Teacher support is often considered a key factor in shaping positive psychological outcomes in educational settings. However, empirical evidence within the pesantren context remains limited. This study examines whether teacher support has a measurable effect on santri psychological well-being at Alif Laam Miim Islamic Boarding School, Surabaya. This study employed a quantitative approach using an explanatory survey design involving 118 santri selected through a census sampling technique. Data were collected using Likert-scale questionnaires measuring teacher support and psychological well-being. The instruments demonstrated acceptable internal consistency. Data analysis was conducted using simple linear regression following classical assumption testing. The results indicate that teacher support has a positive but statistically non-significant relationship with psychological well-being (p = 0.535 > 0.05). The coefficient of determination (R² = 0.003) and the negative adjusted R² value suggest that teacher support provides minimal explanatory value within the model. These findings indicate that teacher support does not have a measurable effect on santri psychological well-being in this context. The study highlights the importance of considering psychological well-being in pesantren as a multidimensional construct shaped by a combination of internal and external factors, including personal resilience, peer relationships, and institutional context.

Abstract

This study examines the persistence of Shalawat Ngelik, a traditional form of religious musical performance practiced in Kampung Mlangi, Yogyakarta. Although earlier studies have documented the historical background and cultural characteristics of this tradition, the social mechanisms that enable its continuity across generations remain insufficiently explored. This research analyzes Shalawat Ngelik as a social practice using Pierre Bourdieu’s conceptual framework of habitus, capital, and field. The study employs a qualitative case study design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with community members and performers, field observations during religious gatherings and practice sessions, and supporting documentation related to the activities of the Shalawat Ngelik group. The findings show that the persistence of Shalawat Ngelik is sustained through the interaction of several forms of capital embedded in the religious life of the community. Social capital emerges through networks associated with Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) and communal religious activities. Cultural capital appears in the musical competence required to perform the repertoire and distinctive vocal techniques of Shalawat Ngelik. These competencies gradually develop into symbolic capital as skilled performers gain recognition within community events. Economic capital operates collectively through practices such as berkat, which support communal performances without turning the tradition into a commercial activity. The study also finds that the regeneration of Shalawat Ngelik occurs through the reproduction of religious and cultural habitus rooted in everyday participation rather than through formal institutional training. This study shows that the continuity of Shalawat Ngelik is maintained through the interaction of social networks, cultural competence, symbolic recognition, and communal support embedded in local religious life. The findings contribute to discussions on the persistence of local religious traditions and the role of social practice in sustaining cultural expressions within contemporary Muslim communities.

Abstract

This study examines the importance and value of Islamic Religious Education for university students, with particular attention to the relationship between personal interest and the necessity of spiritual and moral development in higher education. Using a qualitative phenomenological approach, data were collected through semi-structured interviews, observations, and documentation involving students from diverse academic backgrounds. The data were analyzed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) to capture students’ lived experiences. The findings indicate that religious education is not merely perceived as a compulsory subject, but is experienced as a meaningful process that contributes to character formation, moral development, and life balance in the context of rapid technological change. Students’ engagement emerges through the interaction between internal factors, such as personal beliefs, and external influences, including institutional environment and pedagogical practices. Importantly, the study reveals that what initially appears as an academic obligation can develop into personally significant engagement. These findings highlight the dynamic relationship between interest and necessity and suggest the need for more responsive and student-centered approaches in religious education.

Abstract

This study examines how Qur’anic moral values are integrated into a school-based character development program through the Bina Pribadi Islami (BPI) framework at SMPIT Nur Hidayah Surakarta, an Islamic integrated school in Indonesia. The study addresses the gap between normative formulations of moral education and their practical implementation in school settings. A qualitative case study design was employed, with data collected through semi-structured interviews, field observations, and document analysis. The primary informants consisted of a BPI mentor and an Islamic Education teacher, while additional data were obtained from observations of student activities and institutional documents to support triangulation. The analysis focused on selected Qur’anic teachings, particularly those reflected in Surah Al-Kautsar and Surah Al-Ma’un, as a basis for understanding the integration of moral values. The findings indicate that the integration of moral values is carried out through interconnected practices, including structured habituation, mentoring-based interaction, and the operationalization of values in both worship and social activities. These practices are supported by institutional mechanisms such as the 10 muwashofat framework, continuous monitoring through mutaba’ah amal yaumiyah, and the involvement of teachers across subject areas. The integration process reflects a systematic sequence of value identification, behavioral translation, habituation, evaluation, and follow-up guidance, allowing Qur’anic values to be embedded in students’ daily experiences. The findings indicate that the BPI program represents a structured and contextually grounded approach to integrating Qur’anic moral values within school-based character education, in which religious values are translated into sustained practices supported by institutional systems and daily interaction.

Abstract

This study reexamines the concepts of Gold, Glory, and Gospel by proposing an interconnected model of colonial power relations. While these concepts are commonly treated as separate motives of European expansion, this study argues that they operated simultaneously through the alignment of economic restructuring, political authority, and religious institutions. The analysis is grounded in a qualitative approach based on historical sociology, using a critical reading of historiographical sources related to the activities of the Rheinische Missionsgesellschaft (RMG) in Batak regions of North Sumatra between 1860 and 1910. The findings indicate that missionary institutions were embedded within broader colonial structures. Educational initiatives contributed to the formation of a local administrative workforce, missionary knowledge production supported colonial governance, and religious practices facilitated cultural adaptation that reshaped local belief systems. These processes were interconnected and functioned within a broader configuration of power that extended beyond military and economic control. The study further shows that the interaction between economic, political, and religious processes formed a structured and mutually reinforcing system. This configuration shows how colonial expansion operated through institutional and cultural mechanisms that were sustained over time.
