Abstract

This study examines participatory communication as a strategy for the institutional standardization of Majelis Taklim (Islamic study groups) in order to strengthen the organizational capacity of community-based religious institutions in Tanah Bumbu Regency. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews with 18 informants, two focus group discussions, participant observation, and institutional document analysis. Informants were selected purposively based on active involvement in organizational management and standardization processes. Data analysis followed the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña (2014), comprising data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing, supported by triangulation and member checking. Findings reveal that participatory communication—encompassing dialogic forums, collaborative decision-making, information transparency, and multi-stakeholder engagement—plays a central role in constructing mutually agreed-upon institutional standards and strengthening governance, curriculum organization, and administrative systems. Da'wah communication, when practiced dialogically and contextually, functions as an instrument of social development by fostering collective awareness and social participation. Institutional standardization implemented through participatory mechanisms enhances managerial capacity, social legitimacy, and community trust. This study proposes a participatory communication model that integrates institutional strengthening with grassroots involvement, contributing to development communication theory with a religious-values-based framework.

Abstract

This study employs a qualitative socio-legal approach using a narrative literature review to examine power asymmetry in credit dispute resolution, focusing on the role of notaries in mediating bank–debtor relations. Existing studies have emphasized legal certainty and contractual arrangements, while limited attention has been given to power dynamics in negotiation and dispute resolution processes. Data were drawn from legal, economic, and institutional literature and analyzed thematically to identify patterns of power relations, intermediary roles, and dispute resolution mechanisms. The findings show that power asymmetry is structurally embedded through contractual dominance, information asymmetry, institutional legitimacy, and relational networks favoring banks. Within this structure, notaries occupy an ambivalent position as intermediaries, acting as mediators, facilitators, and, in some contexts, reproducers of power imbalance. Credit dispute resolution is therefore not a neutral legal process but a negotiation arena shaped by unequal access to resources, information, and authority. This study argues for a shift from a legal-formal perspective toward a power-centered analytical framework. By conceptualizing notaries as multifunctional intermediaries, the study contributes to socio-legal scholarship and offers practical insights for promoting fairness in credit systems and dispute resolution.

Abstract

The self-declaration policy is a crucial mechanism under the P2SK Act and Circular Letter of the Deputy for Cooperatives No. 7 of 2023 for classifying cooperative business models as either closed-loop (member services) or open-loop (public financial services). This study aims to analyse the perceptions and literacy of cooperative managers in Kediri City regarding the implementation of this policy to ensure the accuracy of business classification and mitigate the risk of administrative sanctions. This study employs a qualitative approach using a phenomenological research design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with cooperative managers and officials from the Kediri City Cooperative Office, as well as a documentary study of self-declaration files. Data analysis was conducted using an interactive model comprising data reduction, data presentation, and an interpretative approach. The research findings indicate that 100% of the cooperatives in the sample in Kediri City opted for closed-loop status. This decision was driven by a collective desire to preserve the cooperatives’ sociological identity, which is rooted in mutual aid, as well as concerns regarding compliance costs and the strict standards set by the Financial Services Authority (OJK). This decision also serves as a reputational risk mitigation strategy to avoid cognitive dissonance among members, as well as an effort to achieve fiscal efficiency by minimising the potential for higher tax burdens under the open-loop model. Administratively, this policy has triggered a ‘clean-up’ of member data to avoid accusations of shadow banking. This study concludes that whilst the self-declare policy has successfully promoted administrative compliance, there remains a significant communication gap between regulators and industry practitioners regarding the incentives of the open-loop business model.

Abstract

Gili Iyang Island in Sumenep Regency, Madura, possesses the highest natural oxygen concentration in Indonesia and verified scientifically by LAPAN and BBTKLPP in 2006. This distinction positions Gili Iyang as a candidate for wellness tourism with a unique ecological comparative advantage. However, this extraordinary potential has not been accompanied by adequate tourism management. This study aims to describe and analyze the condition of exclusive tourism management based on the 4A components (Attraction, Accessibility, Amenities, Ancillary Services) in Gili Iyang, as well as to identify its supporting and inhibiting factors. A qualitative descriptive method was employed, with data collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation. Results indicate that the Attraction component holds a unique ecological characteristic in the form of scientifically verified oxygen levels, yet remains unpackaged as a standardized wellness product. The Accessibility component still relies on irregular fishing boat transportation. The Amenities component provides only simple homestays without wellness facilities. The Ancillary Services component, including health, communication, and tour guide services, remains severely limited. The main supporting factor is the irreplaceable oxygen asset, involvement of Universitas Airlangga researchers, and the 2023 pier revitalization. The main inhibiting factors include inter-village conflicts of interest, limited regional fiscal capacity, and degradation trends in oxygen levels due to diesel emissions and motorized vehicle growth. This study recommends comprehensive and simultaneous 4A-based management as the policy foundation for exclusive wellness-based destination management.

Abstract

This paper examines the vulnerability of undocumented Indonesian migrant workers in Malaysia by highlighting the human security paradox within the migration regime. Undocumented status is not only an administrative condition but also a structural mechanism that produces systemic illegality, insecurity, and uncertainty. Drawing on Nicholas De Genova’s argument that migrant illegality is socio-politically produced through state regulation, the paper argues that the logic of protection within the migration regime not only fails to reduce vulnerability but rather perpetuates it in everyday life. This paradox illustrates how the existing protection regime, rather than mitigating vulnerability, contributes to its persistence among undocumented migrant workers. Using qualitative methods and a case study approach, this research explores the lived experiences of undocumented migrant workers through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and secondary sources. The findings indicate that fear of detention and deportation constrains undocumented workers from accessing formal protection channels and compels them to rely on informal networks of solidarity. This dynamic demonstrates that illegality restricts access to rights and protections, thereby reproducing the vulnerabilities that protection frameworks are intended to address. By situating the experiences of undocumented migrant workers within a broader security framework, this research contributes to critical migration and human security studies.

Abstract

East Java is a highly significant political arena for Nahdlatul Ulama due to its pesantren ecology, networks of kiai, and affiliate organizations which possess strong social proximity and influence. As a base for nahdliyin citizens, East Java becomes a contested arena for gubernatorial candidate pairs to gain public sympathy. In fact, during the process, all candidate pairs claim to represent the nahdliyin community in East Java. Meanwhile, Instagram as a social media platform has become an intensive visual political campaign medium to win over the wider public. This research aims to explain how Nahdlatul Ulama identity is constructed, contested, and disseminated through Instagram during the 2024 East Java Gubernatorial Election. Therefore, this study examines the phenomenon of NU identity being contested by East Java gubernatorial and vice-gubernatorial candidates using a qualitative approach with critical discourse analysis. The theoretical framework combines Stuart Hall's representation theory and Michel Foucault's reading of power relations to analyze meaning production, symbolic legitimation, and truth regimes in digital space. The findings show three main patterns in the construction of NU identity on Instagram: an authoritative-institutional pattern, a hybrid nationalist-santri pattern, and a nahdliyin-populist authenticity pattern. Across these patterns, all three utilize symbolic meanings such as pesantren, kiai, songkok, the color green, sowan, and santri symbols as capital to gain legitimacy from the nahdliyin community. However, these symbols render the contestation of ideas, substantive policies, and concepts superficial. Thus, Instagram not only functions as a campaign medium but also as an arena for simplifying NU identity into electoral symbols

Abstract

This study addresses the global environmental crisis caused by modern anthropocentric paradigms that detach humans from nature, reducing ecological entities to mere commodities. It specifically explores the legislative transformation of the Whanganui River in New Zealand through the enactment of the Te Awa Tupua Act 2017. Utilizing Matthew Paterson’s Green Theory framework, this research examines how this landmark legal reform functions as a structural response to ecological degradation. Methodologically, this study is conducted as a qualitative case study that analyzes historical policies, colonial legal frameworks, and environmental conflicts within the Whanganui River system The principal conclusion demonstrates that by granting legal personhood to the river, the Te Awa Tupua Act 2017 offers a conceptual challenge to the deep structures of modernity, including the state system, capitalism, knowledge, and patriarchy. This shift from anthropocentrism to eco-centrism provides a pathway to reconstruct environmental governance, redistribute ecological risks, and serve as an influential model for global decolonization and ecological justice.

Abstract

This study addresses the challenges of idle waqf assets and the continued reliance on conventional waqf management practices, which limit transparency, efficiency and public participation. To address these issues, the Infak and Sedekah Management Institution (LMI) Surabaya has undertaken a digital transformation through Sharia-compliant financial technology (fintech). This study aims to examine the transformation process and develop an Integrative Sharia Fintech Model for productive waqf management. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews, institutional documents, and digital platform observations, and analyzed through data reduction, display, interpretation, and conclusion drawing. The findings show that productive waqf management has been digitally transformed through the integration of platforms such as wakafo.org and lmizakat.org for fundraising, recording, management, monitoring, and reporting activities. This transformation improves operational efficiency, expands waqif participation, and enhances transparency and accountability. The study contributes by developing an Integrative Sharia Fintech Model consisting of three interconnected dimensions: Digital Technology Infrastructure, Waqf Governance and Institutional Management, and Sharia and Regulatory Compliance. The interaction among these dimensions creates an integrated productive waqf ecosystem that strengthens trust, participation, efficiency, and sustainability. The model extends the literature on Islamic social finance by providing a comprehensive framework for digital productive waqf management.

Abstract

In an era of economic volatility and pervasive digitalization, the younger generation confronts the intensifying pressures of consumerism culture driven by the fear of missing out (FOMO), which threatens productive work ethics and exacerbates youth unemployment. This study analyzes the direct and indirect effects of family economic socialization on youth productive behavior, positioning Islamic religiosity as a mediating variable. Employing a causal quantitative design, this study examined 385 Muslim youths in East Java classified as digital natives. Data collected through structured questionnaires were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) via SmartPLS 4. Results reveal that family economic socialization positively and significantly influences Islamic religiosity (β = 0.754, p = 0.000) and youth productive behavior (β = 0.465, p = 0.000). Islamic religiosity further exerts a positive and significant influence on productive behavior (β = 0.249, p = 0.000), while the indirect effect confirms its critical mediating role (β = 0.188, p = 0.000). The study extends Social Cognitive Theory by incorporating Islamic religiosity as an internal self-regulatory mechanism that mediates family-based economic learning and productive behavior.

Abstract

The issue of stunting has largely been treated as a biomedical problem to be solved through technical intervention without considering the politics of the problem. This paper seeks to analyze how the governance of stunting occurs within the power/knowledge complex and how communities interact with such interventions in the Indonesian case. In a qualitative study carried out using case study methodology within Ngusikan village, data was gathered using interview, focus group discussion, observation and documentation methods involving twenty-two respondents. Using the Foucault-inspired theoretical perspective, the study identifies three key dynamics of how stunting governance happens: (1) the processes of governance involve surveillance and normalization through the posyandu and growth monitoring systems; (2) medical discourse represents the dominant regime of truth, which continually competes with the local knowledge; and (3) communities, especially mothers, creatively respond to such interventions.
