Abstract

Aceh's development after the 2005 Helsinki Peace Agreement presented major challenges in terms of equal distribution of resources and development benefits. This article aims to identify problems of injustice that are still ongoing in the development context of Aceh, which was previously hit by a prolonged conflict between the Free Aceh Movement (GAM) and the Indonesian government. Using a qualitative approach, this research analyzes the main aspects of distributive justice, including resource allocation, access to education and health, community participation, and natural resource management. The findings show that despite efforts to advance development, inequality in distribution and access still occurs, especially in remote areas. Therefore, this article emphasizes the need for an inclusive and transparent approach to the development process to ensure that all levels of society in Aceh can benefit fairly and equally. Thus, distributive justice is the goal and prerequisite for achieving social stability and sustainable peace in Aceh.

Abstract

The tourism sector is one of the shortcuts to stimulate the economic development of a community. However, the significant growth potential is also accompanied by various risks, including negative impacts on social, cultural, and even economic aspects. This prompted the community in Dieng Kulon village to adopt a different approach in response to the rapid tourism development in the Dieng Plateau. Using a qualitative research method with a phenomenological approach, this article aims to explore how social solidarity-based empowerment of the Muslim community is implemented in the management system of Sharia homestay in Dieng Kulon village. The findings of this study indicate that social solidarity-based empowerment in the management system of Sharia homestay can be successful because the community possesses social capital in the form of land assets, as well as social solidarity in the form of trust, mutual assistance, and mutually beneficial cooperation. Furthermore, the social solidarity is derived from two factors: genetic, as most of the Dieng Kulon community is still bound by kinship ties (family); and even if not through kinship, there is a sense of shared identity as natives of Dieng Kulon. These factors bind the community of Sharia homestay entrepreneurs in Dieng Kulon to remain committed to achieving shared welfare while upholding Islamic values, norms, and teachings.

Abstract

Pahlawan Ekonomi Nusantara (PENA) Muda is a community empowerment program aimed at assisting young families in becoming independent and reducing their reliance on social assistance. Given the importance of implementation effectiveness and the disparities between urban and rural areas, this study focuses on evaluating the effectiveness of the program in rural settings. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through interviews, observations, documentation, and the Context, Input, Process, Product (CIPP) evaluation model. The results indicate that the overall effectiveness rate of the program reached 75%, classifying it as effective. Process-related aspects showed average scores of 3.1 for socialization, 3.3 for coaching, 3.2 for mentoring, and 3.5 for monitoring. These findings suggest that although the program is generally effective, some components still have room for improvement, particularly in strengthening socialization and mentoring efforts. The study highlights the significance of context-sensitive implementation and continuous evaluation to enhance the success of community-based programs. In conclusion, the research contributes to the ongoing development of the PENA Muda program and provides insights for optimizing its future implementation, especially in rural areas where tailored approaches are critical for sustainable impact.

Abstract

This study examines the impact of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) partnerships on empowering disabled farmers within the "Tumbuh Mandiri Cimahi" (TUMAN) Disabled Farmers Group in Indonesia. It tackles the key challenges faced by marginalized communities, including limited resources, inadequate skills, and restricted market access. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were gathered through in-depth interviews, non-participatory observation, and document analysis involving TUMAN members and relevant stakeholders. Thematic analysis indicated that CSR engagement significantly enhances participants’ agricultural skills, income security, and sense of social inclusion. The program provides customized training, adaptive farming tools, and market connections, enabling participants to attain greater economic independence. Moreover, TUMAN prioritizes local partnerships and ongoing capacity-building, which supports long-term sustainability. The findings illustrate that CSR can serve as a transformative force in disability-inclusive agripreneurship, promoting both social equity and economic resilience in rural areas. This research contributes to the discourse on inclusive community development by presenting a replicable model that integrates CSR with empowerment-focused strategies. The study offers practical insights for policymakers, development practitioners, and CSR stakeholders dedicated to advancing inclusive and sustainable rural livelihoods.

Abstract

This research aims to investigate the interplay between Islam and women's empowerment, specifically examining how Islamic teachings and interpretations shape the social, economic, and political roles of women in Muslim societies. The primary objective of this study is to determine whether Islam functions as a barrier or a catalyst for women's empowerment in contemporary contexts. By analyzing classical Islamic texts and modern interpretations, the research seeks to uncover how religious discourse aligns with or contradicts principles of gender equality and women's rights. Employing a qualitative methodology, the study utilizes a diverse array of scholarly sources, case studies, and empirical data to explore the complex relationship between Islamic principles and the evolving roles of women. The findings reveal that, although certain traditional interpretations of Islam have been employed to justify gender-based restrictions, there is substantial evidence that progressive contextualized interpretations of Islamic teachings can serve as a powerful advocacy tool for women's empowerment. This study contributes to the larger discourse on religion and gender by presenting a nuanced perspective that neither glorifies nor condemns Islam but instead highlights the significance of interpretation, context, and socio-cultural dynamics in shaping gender roles. Ultimately, the research emphasizes the necessity for inclusive and reformative approaches to Islamic thought that advocate for justice and equality for women.

Abstract

This study investigates the liminal experiences of street vendors on Malioboro Street, Yogyakarta, and the street itself as dynamic entities shaped by governmental regulations and social realities. It explores the interplay between power, state governance, small and medium-sized economies, and socio-cultural phenomena, focusing on community empowerment. Employing ethnographic methods, the research provides an in-depth, qualitative understanding of the street vendors' lived experiences and the socio-economic environment of Malioboro. The findings reveal despite the government's pro-SME stance, restrictive urban policies frequently undermine the vendors' stability and economic security. This discord creates a persistent state of liminality for the street vendors, who are continuously displaced and rendered powerless to shape their lives. The study underscores the importance of inclusive and humane urban governance that balances regulatory objectives with the socio-economic realities of street vendors. It calls for involving vendors in policy development, creating flexible regulatory frameworks, and investing in supportive infrastructure. By fostering inclusive, participatory, and culturally rich urban environments, it is possible to create economically vibrant and socially equitable spaces, benefiting all city residents.

Abstract

This article attempts to identify the role of communities in transforming economics in the digital age. A case study approach was selected in Yogyakarta City to understand the changing roles of local people in technological advancements. The findings of this research illustrate that the government initiative program, known as “Gage” (Gandeng-Gendong), has evolved into a new space of mediatization for developing entrepreneurial activities through a digital platform. The stakeholder initiation also contributes to the solidity of community bonding by engaging local businesses in developing the incubator entrepreneur, leading to more effective product adaptation to meet consumer needs. It is important that the involvement of three key stakeholder roles, such as Academicians, Businesses, and Government (ABG), be actively integrated into developing digital platform users. This study has evaluated the conflict between human roles and technological advancements. If our understanding of human beings fails to adapt to digital media and illiteracy persists, it could lead to alienation. However, effectively managing enterprise platforms through e-commerce and collaborative pathways can be viewed as a new asset in fostering community development on a larger scale.
