Abstract

This study examines the persistence of inter-village conflict in Bima, West Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia—an ethnically and religiously homogeneous region often regarded as culturally devout. Drawing on a qualitative approach, the research explores how historical memory, youth dynamics, and symbolic narratives contribute to recurring communal violence in a context otherwise associated with Islamic civility. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and document analysis, and analyzed using Miles and Huberman’s interactive model. The findings reveal that conflict escalation typically follows a three-stage pattern: latent grievances, amplifying factors, and triggering events—often involving youth mobilization around issues of honor, revenge, or misinformation. Economic hardship, unemployment, and low educational attainment among young men further intensify this dynamic. Additionally, institutional responses to early-stage conflicts are often inadequate or absent, enabling escalation and reinforcing cycles of retaliation. While traditional elders play a role in informal mediation, sustainable peace requires a dual-track strategy: early prevention through community engagement, and firm law enforcement when violence erupts. This study offers a localized framework for understanding identity-driven communal violence in ethnically homogeneous rural areas—a domain often overlooked in mainstream conflict literature—and contributes to both the theoretical discourse on horizontal conflict and the practical development of conflict-sensitive governance and youth-oriented peacebuilding.

Abstract

The way past conflict narratives are understood and taught plays a crucial role in reconciliation and peacebuilding efforts in post-conflict regions such as Aceh, Indonesia. However, the effectiveness of this process depends on how complex and sensitive historical knowledge is transmitted and internalized by key educational actors. This study aims to examine the depth, sources, and characteristics of historical knowledge about the Aceh conflict held by high school teachers and students in Pidie District. Employing a qualitative descriptive method, data were collected through in-depth interviews, passive classroom observation, and document analysis at MAN 1 Pidie. The findings reveal a significant knowledge gap. Teachers’ understanding of the Aceh conflict tends to be fragmented, heavily reliant on personal experiences, and constrained by perceptions of limited formal teaching resources. As a result, students acquire minimal formal knowledge from school, often relying on informal sources—such as family narratives and digital media—whose validity is questionable. This knowledge gap hinders the development of students’ critical understanding of the past and limits the potential of education as a transformative vehicle for peace. The study underscores the urgent need for systemic interventions, including curriculum reform, foundational capacity-building for teachers (content mastery and critical pedagogy), and the enhancement of students’ critical literacy in navigating contested historical narratives. Abstrak Bagaimana narasi konflik masa lalu dipahami dan diajarkan memainkan peran krusial dalam proses rekonsiliasi dan pembangunan perdamaian di wilayah pasca-konflik seperti Aceh, Indonesia. Namun, efektivitasnya bergantung pada bagaimana pengetahuan tentang masa lalu yang kompleks dan sensitif ditransmisikan dan dipahami oleh aktor kunci dalam sistem pendidikan. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis kedalaman, sumber, dan karakteristik pengetahuan guru dan siswa sekolah menengah atas di Kabupaten Pidie mengenai narasi konflik Aceh. Menggunakan metode kualitatif deskriptif, data dikumpulkan melalui wawancara mendalam, observasi kelas partisipan pasif, dan analisis dokumen di MAN 1 Pidie, melibatkan guru mata pelajaran relevan (Sejarah, Sosiologi, PKN) dan siswa jurusan IPS. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan adanya kesenjangan pengetahuan yang signifikan. Pengetahuan guru mengenai narasi konflik Aceh cenderung fragmentaris, sangat bergantung pada pengalaman personal, dan terkendala persepsi keterbatasan sumber ajar formal. Akibatnya, pengetahuan siswa yang diperoleh dari sekolah sangat minimal, mendorong mereka bergantung pada sumber informasi informal (narasi keluarga, media digital) yang validitasnya diragukan. Kesenjangan ini menghambat pembentukan pemahaman kritis mengenai masa lalu (critical understanding of the past) dan efektivitas pendidikan untuk perdamaian. Studi ini menegaskan perlunya intervensi sistemik yang mencakup reformasi kurikulum, penguatan kapasitas fundamental guru (penguasaan materi & pedagogi kritis), serta pengembangan literasi kritis siswa dalam menavigasi narasi masa lalu.

Abstract

This article explores how Nahdlatul Ulama (NU), through its local branch in Bengkalis (PCNU), responds to the worsening ecological crisis in one of Indonesia’s most vulnerable coastal regions. Using a qualitative case study approach that combines field interviews, participant observation, and document analysis, this study investigates how Islamic environmental ethics—particularly fiqh al-bi’ah and maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah—are translated into collective practices through grassroots religious initiatives. Two key programs are highlighted: Green Pesantren, which integrates ecological education, reforestation, and sustainable practices into Islamic boarding schools; and Mimbar Dakwah, which encourages preachers to include environmental themes in sermons as a form of moral advocacy. These initiatives show how religious discourse can shape environmental behavior and public consciousness at the community level. However, the study also identifies major obstacles, including economic hardship, weak policy enforcement, limited institutional support, and escalating climate impacts. Despite these barriers, PCNU plays a critical role in mobilizing religious networks, shaping local ecological narratives, and promoting community resilience. The findings contribute to the sociology of religion and environmental studies by demonstrating how faith-based organizations can serve as agents of social action and environmental engagement, especially in regions where state capacity is limited.

Abstract

This article examines the political reorientation of Generation Z voters in Aceh, Indonesia, between the 2019 and 2024 presidential elections. In Aceh—a post-conflict region where Islamic values and inherited political affiliations continue to shape civic life—young voters have traditionally aligned with electoral choices informed by family ties, clerical influence, and communal expectations. Using a sequential explanatory research design, this study combines survey data from two election cycles (n=73 in 2019; n=267 in 2024) with 30 in-depth interviews across three public universities. Findings reveal a notable shift from identity-based loyalty toward a more evaluative form of political reasoning. By 2024, many respondents reported prioritizing leadership credibility, programmatic vision, and policy clarity over ethnic and religious affiliation. This transformation was catalyzed by increased exposure to diverse information via social media, peer deliberation, and civic engagement in academic settings. However, the shift unfolded amid significant tension, particularly from family members and educators who framed political choice as a moral imperative. Respondents navigated these pressures through selective compliance, quiet dissent, and emerging political autonomy. This behavioral shift is understood here as a form of selective identity politics, in which inherited affiliations remain relevant but are increasingly subjected to rational and ethical scrutiny. The study contributes to broader discussions on youth political agency, identity negotiation, and democratic participation in culturally embedded and post-conflict contexts.

Abstract

Mental health is a multidimensional aspect of human well-being, encompassing emotional, psychological, social, and spiritual components. In religiously devout societies such as Indonesia, spiritual and communal values deeply influence how mental health is perceived and addressed. This study explores psychospiritual and socioreligious approaches to mental health by comparing Islamic and Christian perspectives. Through a qualitative-descriptive method and library-based research, the study draws upon classical theological texts, scriptural sources, and contemporary literature to analyze religious coping mechanisms, core spiritual values, and their integration into mental well-being. Findings reveal that Islam emphasizes al-nafs al-muṭma’innah (the tranquil soul), achieved through tazkiyat al-nafs (self-purification), devotion, and social responsibility. Christianity, meanwhile, centers on shalom (divine peace), fostered through personal relationship with God, hope, and communal worship. Both traditions offer distinct but complementary coping strategies that connect inner resilience with faith-based practices and collective religious life. By situating mental health within theological and sociocultural frameworks, this study contributes to the development of integrative models that bridge psychological care, spiritual meaning, and community-based support—particularly in multireligious and culturally rooted contexts.

Abstract

Indonesia’s diverse society faces persistent challenges from environmental uncertainty and social conflict, which threaten both economic security and social cohesion. Existing welfare initiatives, such as the bantuan sosial (bansos) program and food estate projects, have achieved limited success due to structural weaknesses, inaccurate targeting, and the risk of long-term dependency. These issues point to the need for an ethically grounded and contextually relevant welfare policy framework. This study introduces a normative model of social welfare based on Qur’anic narratives—specifically the stories of Prophet Yusuf and Zulkarnain—interpreted through Paul Spicker’s social welfare theory. Utilizing a qualitative descriptive approach and content analysis of Qur’anic verses, the research identifies core principles aligned with Spicker’s framework: basic needs fulfillment, rights protection, and equitable resource access. This integration of Qur’anic ethics with modern welfare theory offers a novel policy perspective for Indonesia. Key findings show that Prophet Yusuf’s approach to social assistance relied on barter systems to foster independence, complemented by strategies emphasizing job creation, sustainable land use, and active collaboration between government and society. The involvement of social workers as strategic partners strengthens policy implementation and community empowerment. While the conceptual model advances theoretical understanding, further empirical validation in real policy contexts is needed. This research demonstrates that social policies rooted in Qur’anic values and contemporary welfare theory can provide a viable pathway toward a more just and prosperous Indonesian society.

Abstract

Indonesia is facing a rapid demographic transition as its elderly population continues to rise, posing new challenges for social and health policy. Family support is widely recognized as a crucial factor in elderly well-being, but there is limited empirical evidence from local Indonesian contexts, particularly in rural areas such as Balung District, Jember. This study aims to examine the influence of family support on the welfare of elderly individuals in Balung District, Jember, and to determine how much variance in elderly welfare can be explained by family support. A quantitative cross-sectional design was employed. Data were collected from 70 respondents—35 elderly people and 35 family caregivers—using purposive sampling. Validated and reliable instruments measured family support and elderly welfare. Pearson correlation and simple linear regression analyses were conducted using JASP software. The findings reveal a strong positive relationship between family support and elderly welfare (r = 0.688, p < 0.001). Family support accounted for 47.4% of the variance in elderly welfare. The analysis confirms that higher levels of family support are significantly associated with improved well-being among the elderly. Family support is a key determinant of elderly welfare in Balung District, Jember. Programs and policies that empower and educate families, enhance community resources, and strengthen family-based care systems are essential for improving the quality of life of Indonesia’s aging population. Future research should explore additional factors influencing elderly welfare and adopt mixed-methods approaches for a more comprehensive understanding.

Abstract

This study examines how Muslim families manage parenting in the prostitution-affected area of Samas Beach, Yogyakarta, where social and economic risks shape everyday life. Using a qualitative case study design, the research draws on in-depth interviews and participant observation with four families living in this unique context. The results reveal a spectrum of parenting strategies, from structured routines and active communication to more permissive patterns influenced by limited resources and parental absence. Parental backgrounds, especially experiences with past risk and hardship, often led parents to become more protective and intentional in raising their children. Economic pressures and irregular work schedules contributed to increased reliance on older siblings and less consistent daily supervision. Religious knowledge and community involvement sometimes supported families in guiding their children’s behavior, but could also present challenges when routines were disrupted. The findings highlight that parenting in a prostitution-affected environment requires ongoing adaptation and negotiation. These insights point to the importance of context-sensitive support systems for strengthening resilience among children and parents living in similar high-risk communities.

Abstract

The escalating incidence of cybercrime in Indonesia has rendered older adults (lansia) one of the most vulnerable populations, primarily due to limited digital literacy and a lack of awareness regarding threats such as hoaks, identity theft, and online fraud. This study analyzes strategies for empowering older adults in digital security, focusing on the implementation of the Tular Nalar program by Mafindo in Aceh Besar District. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentation, and analyzed using Laverack’s community empowerment framework. The findings indicate that the program fostered active participation, expanded access to information, and strengthened social ties among participants. Facilitators played a crucial role in contextualizing digital security risks based on the lived experiences and local values of the lansia. However, the empowerment process has not yet resulted in collective autonomy, as participants remain reliant on facilitators and have not formed self-sustaining community structures. Disparities in digital literacy, expectations of incentives, and structural barriers further constrain the realization of community-driven empowerment. These results highlight that digital empowerment for older adults is not merely about increasing literacy, but is a complex social process rooted in local structures, cultural values, and community power dynamics. The application of Laverack’s model in this context underscores the need to integrate cultural values and locally grounded approaches into the design of sustainable empowerment strategies for older adults, while also addressing the persistent challenge of achieving community autonomy.

Abstract

This article examines the symbolic transformation and cultural Islamization of the Kembar Mayang ritual among the Javanese diaspora community in Aek Hitetoras, North Sumatra. Drawing on a qualitative case study approach, the research is grounded in the anthropology of religion and based on in-depth interviews, participant observation, and analysis of documentary materials. Findings reveal that Kembar Mayang, once rooted in ancestral cosmology and mystical practice, has been reinterpreted through deliberate negotiation and adaptation. Traditional elements such as offerings and incantations have largely been replaced by Islamic prayers and Qur’anic recitation, reflecting the community’s commitment to religious orthodoxy while sustaining collective identity and social cohesion. The adaptation process has been incremental and dialogical, involving pragmatic adjustments in ritual materials and the creative use of digital media for documentation and intergenerational transmission. Contestation between cultural and religious perspectives has generated both tension and innovation, ultimately enabling the ritual to endure as a meaningful expression of gratitude, harmony, and heritage. The study contributes to broader debates in the anthropology of religion and diaspora studies, illustrating how local traditions are dynamically negotiated and renewed through cultural ijtihad, recontextualization, and digital innovation. Practical implications highlight the importance of inclusive dialogue, intergenerational education, and flexible preservation strategies for sustaining tradition within plural and rapidly changing societies.
