Abstract

This study explores the factors underlying the difficulties faced by Millennials and Generation Z in entering marriage in South Africa, while examining the social, cultural, economic, and psychological dynamics shaping such decisions. Employing a qualitative case study design within the framework of Cultural-Historical Activity Theory (CHAT) and a transformative paradigm, data were collected through semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions with purposively selected unmarried participants aged 18–45. The findings reveal that marriage is no longer perceived as an automatic life stage but as a reflexively negotiated institution balancing sacred values and transactional considerations. Key barriers include fear of divorce rooted in family experiences, economic constraints—particularly wedding costs and lobola practices—prioritization of education and career, shifting gender roles, the influence of social media in constructing unrealistic expectations, and the need for emotional readiness and psychological maturity. The study also identifies a shift in the meaning of marriage from a foundational life stage to a capstone achievement requiring financial stability, individual autonomy, and relational competence. This research contributes theoretically by applying CHAT to conceptualize marriage as a dynamic and contradiction-laden activity system, positioning delayed marriage as a complex negotiation between tradition and modernity rather than rejection. The findings highlight the need for adaptive social policies and interventions addressing relational skills, financial literacy, and culturally sensitive reforms.

Abstract

This study examines the lived experiences of individuals experiencing street homelessness in Johannesburg, South Africa, with a focus on the structural, social, and personal factors shaping their conditions. A qualitative approach using a descriptive phenomenological design was employed. Ten adult participants were recruited through purposive and snowball sampling. Data were collected using face-to-face semi-structured interviews and analysed thematically. The findings indicate that homelessness is driven by an interplay of family breakdown, unemployment, poverty, substance abuse, and relationship dissolution. Participants reported prolonged exposure to harsh living conditions, significant health challenges, limited access to healthcare, and frequent experiences of violence and exploitation. Structural barriers, particularly the lack of identification documents, further restricted access to essential government services. Survival strategies included recycling, begging, and transactional sex. Contrary to common assumptions, most participants were South African citizens rather than foreign nationals. This study highlights the agency and resilience of homeless individuals and underscores the need for integrated, trauma-informed, and rights-based interventions through multi-stakeholder collaboration to inform inclusive urban policies and sustainable social responses.

Abstract

Mental health among university students is a significant and growing concern, as students are often exposed to academic pressure, financial strain, social adjustments, and personal challenges during their studies. These stressors increase students’ vulnerability to mental health conditions such as stress, anxiety, depression, and burnout, which may negatively affect academic performance, social functioning, and overall well-being. Although many universities provide mental health support services, these services are frequently underutilized due to factors such as stigma, limited mental health awareness, cultural and religious beliefs, fear of judgment, and concerns regarding confidentiality. This study employed a qualitative research approach guided by a phenomenological research design to gain in-depth insights into students lived experiences of mental health and mental healthcare utilization. Data were collected through face-to-face semi-structured interviews, with participants selected using purposive and snowball sampling techniques. The data were analysed thematically. The findings revealed five key themes: students’ understanding of mental health, perceived causes of mental health challenges, the impact of mental health on students’ academic and personal lives, doubts regarding access to mental healthcare services, and suggested strategies to improve mental health service utilization. The study concludes that promoting mental health literacy, reducing stigma, and ensuring accessible, compassionate, and student-centered support services are essential for improving mental health outcomes. Furthermore, strengthening institutional policies and support structures is critical in fostering an inclusive university environment that prioritizes student well-being and supports academic success.

Abstract

Lecturers play a pivotal role in fostering inclusive educational environments, but their attitudes and preparedness to support LGBTQIA+ students vary globally. Training in LGBTQIA+ cultural competency enhances awareness of sexual and gender diversity, enabling educators to address student needs while promoting equity, diversity, and social justice. This study explored lecturers’ attitudes and preparedness, focusing on training, policy knowledge, and professional engagement. Six themes emerged: lecturers’ attitudes, collaboration with internal and external stakeholders, importance of LGBTQIA+ training, training received, knowledge of supporting policies, and participation in LGBTQIA+ events. A qualitative exploratory case study design was used, collecting data from ten lecturers through purposive and snowball sampling. Semi-structured interviews were conducted face-to-face and analysed thematically. Findings revealed generally positive attitudes toward LGBTQIA+ students, though concerns about correct pronoun use and misgendering were noted. Most lecturers lacked formal training, relying on self-education, with mixed views on the importance of training due to resource constraints. Awareness of policies and psychosocial support varied, with greater engagement linked to higher knowledge. Participation in LGBTQIA+ events was moderate, while collaboration with stakeholders was identified as key to effective support. The study highlights the critical need for formal training, policy awareness, and structured institutional support to strengthen lecturers’ capacity to support LGBTQIA+ students effectively.

Abstract

This study investigates the impact of the Government Purchase Price (HPP) policy and fertilizer subsidies on rice production and farmer welfare, measured by the Farmer Exchange Rate (NTP), within the framework of agrarian governance in Indonesia. It examines both short-run and long-run effects while situating these policies within broader state intervention dynamics. A quantitative approach is employed using the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model on monthly time-series data from January 2020 to December 2024, complemented by a qualitative review of policy regulations. The findings reveal that HPP significantly affects rice production in both the short and long term, albeit with a negative coefficient, indicating structural adjustment toward equilibrium. In contrast, fertilizer subsidies show no significant effect on production, reflecting implementation inefficiencies. Regarding welfare, HPP exerts a positive and significant influence on NTP, highlighting its role in enhancing farmers’ purchasing power, whereas fertilizer subsidies remain insignificant. This study contributes by integrating production and welfare analysis within a single empirical framework and reinterpreting econometric findings through a state–society relations lens. It concludes that output price policies are more effective than input subsidies, although their impact remains constrained by institutional and governance challenges.

Abstract

This study examines the social adaptation of Batak students in Rumah Tiga, Ambon, and reconstructs the concept of social integration within the context of Indonesia’s island societies. It responds to the dominance of deficit-oriented approaches in migrant adaptation studies, which overemphasize conflict, culture shock, and marginalization, by proposing an alternative perspective: adaptive acculturation in context. This perspective conceptualizes adaptation as a contextual, relational, and value-based process mediated through everyday social interactions and cultural resonance. A qualitative descriptive-interpretive design was employed. Data were collected through participant observation, semi-structured in-depth interviews with 11 purposively selected informants, and document analysis. The data were analyzed using an interactive model involving data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that social adaptation occurs relatively rapidly and positively through value negotiation, participation in informal social spaces, and the transformation of interpersonal relations from functional interactions into kinship-like ties. Initial barriers, including linguistic differences and cultural perceptions, are gradually overcome through informal learning and active engagement in local social life. Adaptation is facilitated by the interplay of bonding and bridging social capital, as well as shared cultural values such as kinship and mutual cooperation. This study contributes by introducing cultural resonance as a key mechanism of cross-cultural adaptation, highlighting informal spaces as micro-sites of integration, and reconceptualizing social integration as a dynamic and co-constructed process.

Abstract

This study examines the sociological dynamics of undercover buying in Indonesia’s post–Criminal Procedure Code 2025 (KUHAP 2025) criminal justice system, focusing on the social construction of legal evidence through investigative practices. It addresses the tension between effective narcotics enforcement and the obligation to uphold due process and human rights. Moving beyond a purely normative legal perspective, the study analyzes how undercover buying operates as a social practice that shapes the production, interpretation, and legitimacy of evidence. A qualitative socio-legal approach is employed, integrating normative analysis of statutory frameworks with empirical data. Data are drawn from court decisions, legal documents, and case reports, complemented by in-depth interviews with law enforcement officers, prosecutors, and legal practitioners. Analysis is conducted interpretatively using a social construction framework to examine how evidence is produced and legitimized within institutional settings. The findings indicate that evidence derived from undercover buying is not inherently objective but emerges from interactions among investigators, suspects, and legal norms. The practice may blur the boundary between enforcement and the construction of criminal acts, particularly where entrapment or excessive intervention occurs. Despite strengthened procedural legality under KUHAP 2025, a gap remains between legal norms and implementation. This study offers novelty by conceptualizing undercover buying as a socio-legal practice that constructs legal reality. It contributes to Global South sociology of law and recommends clearer operational standards and community-based oversight to ensure accountable and rights-based criminal justice.

Abstract

This study challenges the dominant “cultural persistence” paradigm in Global South sociology, which often portrays local communities as passive custodians of tradition under globalization. Focusing on the Patasiwa Putih community in Amahai, Eastern Indonesia, it examines how local identity is actively decolonized through dynamic local–global encounters. The study explores (1) the construction of identity through indigenous structures and symbols (2) its transformation under globalization, modernization, and digital technology, and (3) the strategies through which local actors negotiate and reconstruct identity. Employing a qualitative case study, data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and document analysis involving customary leaders, community members, and youth. The analysis follows an interactive model supported by triangulation and member checking. Findings reveal that identity is not eroded but reflexively transformed through reinterpretation of cultural symbols, ritual revitalization, and selective adaptation to global influences. While rooted in customary institutions, identity expands through digital mediation and generational shifts, producing a dynamic interplay between continuity and change. This study advances a decolonial perspective by reframing identity as an active and emancipatory process and highlights island societies as critical sites of knowledge production in the Global South.

Abstract

This study examines the transformation of marriage practices in Tanimbar Island society, focusing on the shift from sacred ritual objects to monetary exchange and its implications for social relations, symbolic meanings, and cultural structures. It situates this transformation within the broader context of Global South sociology, questioning whether such changes reflect pragmatic adaptation to socio-economic pressures or deeper reconfigurations of kinship, status, and sacred values. A qualitative case study was conducted in Watidal Village, North Tanimbar District, Indonesia. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with customary leaders, married couples, and community members, supported by participant observation and document analysis. An interpretive analytical approach was employed to understand how local actors construct and negotiate meaning amid cultural change. The findings indicate that the monetization of ritual exchange is driven by intertwined economic and social factors, including resource constraints, efficiency, and shifting lifestyles. Rather than eliminating symbolic meaning, this transformation produces a hybrid cultural form in which monetary exchange acquires new symbolic significance, while the sacred dimension of traditional objects gradually weakens. This study contributes by conceptualizing monetization as a process of social reconfiguration rather than mere commodification. It concludes that Tanimbar marriage practices reflect an ongoing negotiation between tradition and modernity and recommends strengthening community-based engagement to sustain cultural values within changing socio-economic contexts.

Abstract

This article examines how morality is negotiated within clientelistic democratic practices in an archipelagic society of Eastern Indonesia. Moving beyond dominant political economy approaches that reduce clientelism to rational-instrumental exchange, the study analyzes the social embeddedness of political exchange, identifies the moral dilemmas experienced by political actors and citizens, and explains how local values interact with formal democratic norms to produce hybrid political practices. It also develops an analytical framework positioning morality as a mediating variable between rational action and social structure. Adopting a qualitative intrinsic case study in Namlea, Buru Regency, data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and document analysis. The analysis follows an interactive model of data reduction, display, and iterative conclusion drawing, enabling an in-depth interpretation of moral negotiations in everyday political life. The findings reveal that social exchange is shaped not only by instrumental rationality but also by value-oriented, affective, and traditional rationalities. Political actors face dilemmas between adhering to democratic ideals and fulfilling socially embedded obligations, while communities exhibit moral ambivalence toward practices often labeled as violations. These dynamics produce a hybrid democratic order grounded in local moral economies. This study contributes by conceptualizing “negotiated morality,” integrating multiple theoretical perspectives, and foregrounding underrepresented island contexts in global sociology.
