Abstract

Penolakan terhadap penambangan marmer di Maluku telah menjadi perhatian utama bagi gerakan ekofeminisme di wilayah tersebut. Gerakan ini menekankan pentingnya menjaga keseimbangan alam dan memperjuangkan hak-hak perempuan dalam konteks lingkungan hidup. Penolakan terhadap penambangan marmer di Maluku bukan hanya karena dampak negatifnya terhadap lingkungan, tetapi juga karena dampaknya terhadap kehidupan perempuan yang bergantung pada sumber daya alam untuk keberlangsungan hidup mereka. Gerakan ekofeminisme di Maluku memperjuangkan hak-hak perempuan untuk terlibat dalam pengambilan keputusan terkait lingkungan hidup dan menuntut perlindungan terhadap sumber daya alam yang vital bagi keberlangsungan hidup manusia dan alam. Dengan demikian, penolakan terhadap penambangan marmer di Maluku menjadi bagian integral dari gerakan ekofeminisme yang memperjuangkan hak-hak perempuan dan keberlanjutan lingkungan hidup di wilayah tersebut serta menggunakan metode studi literatur adalah suatu pendekatan atau kerangka kerja yang digunakan untuk menganalisis dan memahami karya sastra. Studi literatur dapat mencakup berbagai pendekatan, termasuk strukturalisme, feminisme, postkolonialisme, dekonstruksi, dan banyak lagi. Studi literatur membantu pembaca untuk memahami karya sastra dengan cara yang lebih mendalam, melalui penelusuran tema, gaya penulisan, struktur naratif, dan konteks sosial dan sejarah yang mempengaruhi karya tersebut. Dengan menggunakan teori literatur, pembaca dapat mengembangkan pemahaman yang lebih kritis dan analitis terhadap karya sastra, serta melihatnya dari berbagai perspektif yang berbeda.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to present a systematic literature review on the relationship between democracy and economic growth. The goal was to provide scholars and policymakers with important new information on how democracy affects economic growth, as well as solid evidence of the gaps in the literature that need to be filled immediately. The research used a methodological analysis of the literature found in two databases, Google Scholar and Semantic Scholar.The study presents that majority of the studies reviewed show that democracy has a long-term, substantial positive impact on a country's economic growth. But democracy alone cannot promote economic expansion, especially in developing countries. Democracies can promote economic growth in a variety of ways, but how well these efforts work depends on the quality of democratic institutions, the legal system and broader socio-economic conditions. According to the study, elected governments should implement laws and procedures that protect and promote democracy while addressing the needs of the population in order to achieve sustainable economic growth.

Abstract

The National Development Project is a strategic initiative undertaken by the government to improve the quality of life in various regions. One such project is the Rempang Eco City, situated on Rempang Island in the Riau Islands Province. The government secured funding from PT Z, a private company, for the development of this project. However, the implementation process has caused tension with the local community who lived in Rempang Island. This problem occurred because the government evicted residents' homes to support Rempang Eco City. This research aims to explore the land status on Rempang Island and analyze the agrarian conflicts that have arisen between the government and the local community, using Karl Marx's conflict theory. The research utilizes a qualitative descriptive approach with a literature review. Secondary data sources such as journals, online publications, and scientific papers were employed to collect data. The results of this research reveal that the land occupied by the Melayu Tua traditional community on Rempang Island rightfully belongs to them, as they have inhabited the area for centuries. Additionally, the Rempang Eco City project poses a threat to environmental sustainability and the traditional way of life of the Old Malay community residing in the vicinity. The government must protect the rights of its citizens, and the government should not take away land owned by the Old Malay community. Another result of this research also indicates that the agrarian conflicts between the local. Abstrak Proyek Pembangunan Nasional merupakan salah satu proyek strategis yang dilakukan oleh pemerintah untuk meningkatkan kemajuan guna kehidupan yang lebih baik bagi suatu daerah. Salah satu bentuk pembangunannya adalah Rempang Eco City yang berlokasi di Pulau Rempang, Provinsi Kepulauan Riau. Dalam pembangunanya pemerintah mendapatkan investasi dari perusahaan swasta PT Makmur Elok Graha (MEG). Namun, dalam proses implementasi menimbulkan konflik bagi masyarakat setempat. Tulisan ini bertujuan untuk melihat status tanah di Pulau Rempang dan identifikasi konflik agraria yang terjadi antara masyarakat dengan pemerintah menggunakan teori konflik Karl Marx. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian deskriptif kualitatif dengan pendekatan literatur review. Teknik pengumpulan data meliputi penggunaan data sekunder dari jurnal, sumber online, dan publikasi ilmiah. Hasil penelitian yang didapatkan adalah status tanah masyarakat adat Melayu Tua yang ada di Pulau Rempang sudah semestinya menjadi hak milik mereka, hal ini dikarenakan tanah tersebut telah dihuni oleh masyarakat Melayu Tua selama ratusan tahun, selain itu proyek Rempang Eco City dianggap sebagai ancaman terhadap keberlanjutan lingkungan atau mengancam mata pencaharian tradisional masyarakat Melayu Tua yang tinggal tinggal di daerah tersebut. Alasan lain yang mendasari hal tersebut adalah sudah menjadi kewajiban bagi pemerintah Indonesia untuk menjamin apa yang menjadi hak warga negaranya, maka dalam hal ini pemerintah  seharusnya tidak mengambil tanah yang selama ini dimiliki oleh masyarakat Melayu Tua. Hasil lain dari penelitian ini adalah konflik agraria yang terjadi antara masyarakat dengan pemerintah sejalan dengan perspektif teori konflik dari Karl Marx.

Abstract

  The Tempe Sabar Community is a volunteer-based social-environmental movement on an RT RW scale operating in Malang City. This community focuses on reducing waste by sorting the waste and depositing the waste 6 times, then selling it to collectors in Singosari, Malang Regency. The proceeds from the sale will be given to orphans and the poor. This movement is an application of the Gerakan Sedekah Sampah Indonesia (GRADASI) program which has been widely supported and recommended by the government. The purpose of this writing is to identify the role of the community in sorting waste and analyse efforts to deal with environmental pollution in residential areas in the Malang area, especially the waste alms movement pioneered by TEMPE SABAR volunteers. This research will use qualitative research methods with data collection techniques using secondary data in the form of literature studies and also podcasting media data. The research results show that this community was formed because the community was concerned about the waste problem and the potential for the landfill to become overloaded. The strategy implemented is based on the awareness that one of the biggest sources of landfill waste is household waste, so the movement is focused on inviting residents to become volunteers for the movement at the RT RW area scale. As one of the movements that is being intensified by the government, the movement network owned by this community is strong because community leaders Lohk Mahfud, DPRD, Malang City Government, Environmental Service, and the Malang City Cooperative and Trade Office also support their movement. The conclusion was that the success of the Tempe Sabar Community in implementing environmental-social movement programs shows how the GRADASI method has potential effectiveness in reducing waste sent to landfills. With a moral and humanitarian approach, the people around the community succeeded in eliminating the perception that waste is a government problem. Abstrak Komunitas Tempe Sabar merupakan bagian dari komunitas yang merespons sampah perkotaan berbasis volunteer skala RT RW yang beroperasi di Kota Malang. Komunitas ini berfokus mengurangi sampah dengan cara memilah sampah dan menyetorkan sampah sebanyak 6 kali, lalu dijual pada pengepul di Singosari, Kabupaten Malang. Dana hasil penjualannya akan  disedekahkan kepada yatim piatu dan fakir miskin. Gerakan tersebut merupakan pengaplikasian dari program Gerakan Sedekah Sampah Indonesia (GRADASI) yang selama ini banyak didukung dan direkomendasikan oleh pemerintah. Tujuan dari penulisan ini adalah untuk mengidentifikasi peran masyarakat dalam pemilahan sampah serta menganalisis upaya penanganan pencemaran lingkungan permukiman di daerah Malang, khususnya gerakan sedekah sampah yang dipelopori oleh relawan TEMPE SABAR. Penelitian ini akan menggunakan metode penelitian kualitatif dengan teknik pengumpulan data menggunakan data sekunder berupa studi literatur dan juga data media Podcasting. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa komunitas ini terbentuk atas adanya keresahan masyarakat sendiri terhadap masalah sampah dan potensi TPA mengalami overload. Strategi yang diterapkan berdasar pada kesadaran bahwa salah satu sumber sampah terbesar TPA adalah sampah rumah tangga sehingga gerakan difokuskan untuk mengajak warga sebagai volunteer gerakan di skala wilayah RT RW.  Sebagai salah satu Gerakan yang sedang digencarkan oleh pemerintah, jejaring Gerakan yang dimiliki komunitas ini termasuk kuat karena Tokoh masyarakat Lohk Mahfud, DPRD, Pemkot Malang, Dinas Lingkungan Hidup dan Diskopindag Kota Malang ikut mendukung gerakan mereka. Kesimpulan didapatkan bahwa Keberhasilan Komunitas Tempe Sabar dalam melaksanakan program gerakan lingkungan-sosial menunjukkan bagaimana metode GRADASI memiliki efektivitas yang cukup berpotensi untuk mengurangi kiriman sampah ke TPA. Dengan pendekatan secara moralitas dan kemanusiaan, masyarakat sekitar komunitas berhasil menghilangkan persepsi bahwa sampah merupakan persoalan pemerintah.

Abstract

One of the most cherished educational assets for students in tertiary institutions in Nigeria and the world is hostel accommodation. This asset provides students with an environment for intellectual development and easy interaction with fellow peers and fosters teamwork and communal spirit among students. Hostel accommodation in most Nigerian tertiary institutions is problematic and scarce too; as such, many students tend to be affected academically and psychologically; this study investigated the challenges of hostel accommodation in Benue State University, Makurdi and suggested the Public Private Partnership (PPP) option. The objectives of the study are to ascertain the causes of hostel accommodation challenges in Nigerian tertiary institutions with Benue State University, Makurdi, in sight, to ascertain the impact of hostel accommodation problems on students' academic performance and welfare and to suggest options best for hostel accommodation challenge in Nigeria tertiary institution. Three research questions guided the study. The study is anchored on the stakeholders' theory by Edward Freeman (1983). A mixed-method research design was adopted for this study. Simple random sampling was used, and questionnaire administration and Oral interviews were conducted to obtain information from 45 respondents. The study found out, among other things, that the over-enrollment of students causes a shortage in student hostel accommodation, inadequate hostel facilities, and a lack of maintenance culture by management/government, which are identifiable sources of accommodation challenges. The study recommends the PPP option and privatization of hostel facilities as the way forward for the best quality and quantity of accommodation in tertiary institutions in Nigeria.

Abstract

Conflict of interest is a complex phenomenon that can arise in various areas of life. Effective management of conflicts of interest involves transparency, integrity, clear regulations, procedures, and efforts to achieve a balance between different interests. Parking space is also crucial because all activities require space for parking facilities. It cannot be denied that land or parking space issues can cause problems, especially in management. The problem in this research is about conflicts of interest in the implementation of e-parking in Ponorogo. Researchers used qualitative research methods. The Ponorogo District Government has not been able to implement the eparking system because parking attendants have shown resistance to this e-parking system due to new changes in technology that make it difficult to adapt to new rules. The conclusion of this research is that this change has a significant impact on the dynamics between parking attendants and users. The conflict that arises between them is caused by difficulties in adapting to new technology and new rules. A real example from the Ponorogo District shows that the introduction of eparking has sparked debate and dissatisfaction among stakeholders, with some parking attendants showing resistance to change. Abstrak Konflik kepentingan merupakan fenomena yang kompleks dan dapat muncul di berbagai bidang kehidupan. Pengelolaan yang efektif terhadap konflik kepentingan melibatkan transparansi, integritas, peraturan, prosedur yang jelas, dan upaya untuk mencapai keseimbangan antara kepentingan yang berbeda. Lahan parkir juga sangat penting keberadaannya karena semua aktivitas kegiatan memerlukan ruang untuk sarana tempat parkir. Tidak dapat dipungkuri permasalahan lahan atau ruang parkir dapat menimbulkan masalah terutama dalam pengelolaan. Permasalahan dalam penelitian ini adalah konflik kepentingan dalam penerapan eparkir di Ponorogo. Peneliti menggunakan metode penelitian kualitatif. Pemerintah Kabupaten Ponorogo belum bisa menerapkan sistem e-parkir di Ponorogo karena para petugas parkir menunjukkan respon penolakan pada sistem e-parkir ini. Perubahan baru terhadap teknologi mengakibatkan petugas parkir kesulitan dalam beradaptasi dengan aturan yang baru. Kesimpulan dari penelitian, perubahan ini memiliki dampak signifikan terhadap dinamika antara petugas parkir dan pengguna. Konflik yang muncul antara keduanya disebabkan oleh kesulitan adaptasi dengan teknologi baru dan aturan baru yang diterapkan. Contoh nyata dari Kabupaten Ponorogo menunjukkan bahwa pengenalan e-parkir telah memicu perdebatan dan ketidakpuasan di antara pihak terkait, dengan beberapa petugas parkir menunjukkan resistensi (sikap atau tindakan yang menentang) terhadap perubahan.

Abstract

Pembalut merupakan kebutuhan primer bagi perempuan yang digunakan sebagai alat sanitasi saat menstruasi. Pembalut konvensional atau pembalut sekali pakai dinilai lebih terjangkau dan mudah ditemukan, sehingga mayoritas perempuan memilih untuk menggunakannya sebagai alat sanitasi. Akan tetapi, penggunaan pembalut sekali pakai dapat menimbulkan gangguan pada kesehatan reproduksi perempuan. Selain itu, penumpukan limbah pembalut sekali pakai juga berbahaya bagi kelestarian lingkungan. Fokus penelitian dengan topik “Program Edukasi Penggunaan Pembalut Kain untuk Mengurangi Limbah Pembalut Konvensional” ini menitikberatkan kajian pembahasan pada peran komunitas lokal dalam memberikan edukasi kepada masyarakat, khususnya perempuan Indonesia dalam penanganan limbah pembalut sekali pakai. Tujuan dari penelitian adalah menganalisis gerakan program edukasi penggunaan pembalut kain yang dilakukan oleh Komunitas Biyung dalam mengurangi limbah pembalut konvensional atau pembalut sekali pakai. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif dengan teknik pengumpulan data menggunakan data sekunder. Adapun kajian teori yang akan digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah Teori Aksi Sosial dari Talcott Parsons dan Konsep Ekofeminisme dari Vandana Shiva. Sementara itu, data jumlah limbah pembalut yang digunakan oleh perempuan kategori subur di Indonesia bisa mencapai 1,4 miliar per bulan dengan intensitas penggantian pembalut sebanyak 4-5 kali dalam sehari (Oktavianti & Anjani, 2022). Pembalut yang sudah tidak terpakai dan teronggok di tumpukan sampah dapat menimbulkan permasalahan bagi lingkungan, kesehatan, dan estetika. Oleh sebab itu, Komunitas Biyung di Yogyakarta menciptakan gerakan untuk mengurangi limbah pembalut konvensional dengan menggunakan dan memproduksi pembalut kain yang lebih ramah lingkungan sebagai pengganti pembalut sekali pakai.
