Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has had profound effects on the livelihoods of vulnerable groups. Previous studies have indicated that vulnerable groups in urban areas suffer more economic impacts than their counterparts in rural areas, largely due to mobility restrictions, social and physical distancing measures, and pre-pandemic vulnerabilities, exacerbating the challenges that urban groups face to survive. This article examines variations in the impacts and coping strategies of vulnerable groups in selected urban and rural areas in Indonesia during the COVID-19 pandemic, and determines how these impacts and coping strategies have shaped the trajectory of community resilience. The article argues that although vulnerable groups in urban areas are more susceptible to the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, both urban and rural groups share the same lack of capacity to address the impacts of the pandemic. The study finds that the government continues to struggle to provide timely and well-targeted assistance to the worst affected groups. The government has demonstrated low capacity in delivering transparent and coherent messages on the risks of the pandemic in order to increase the community’s capacity for resilience. Primary data were collected using qualitative research methods in the form of in-depth interviews with a wide range of informants, including vulnerable groups, community leaders, and local government officials.

Abstract

A number of studies have shown various agrarian conflicts as a response by local farmers against the policy of national parks that prohibits them from accessing conservation forest areas. However, previous studies had not explained the dynamics of power relations between park authorities and farmers who stand in opposition to these policies. This study employs a qualitative research approach complemented by secondary data to explain the transformation of farmer resistance in the Mount Halimun-Salak National Park (TNGHS) area, namely from their repertoire of everyday resistance to practices of land occupation. Specifically, this study uses the “powercube” analytical framework to explain the process of this transformation. The study concludes that changes have occurred within the dimensions of peasant power. Regarding the space of power, the power of farmers was transformed from being strictly exerted within closed spaces to being more open (invited), which enables them to conduct negotiations with the park authorities. Meanwhile, farmers now exert their power at the local TNGHS area level, after previously only taking place within each household. Finally, the form of power has changed from being hidden to more visible, which allows them to acquire the “recognition” of TNGHS authorities as legitimate sharecroppers. Farmers have been able to occupy land by taking advantage of the political space provided by a period of democratization, as well as their ability to mobilize economic capital and forge social relations with various actors, including the TNGHS park authorities.

Abstract

The increasing religious conservatism within Indonesian society has propelled the growth of hatred and vigilantism targeting sexual minorities—which are seen as committing an unforgiven sin—especially towards LGBTs (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender). This study addresses the processes that these minorities experience in order to express their sexual identities and forge social relationships with fellow same-sex queers. In specific, this study focuses on the ways young gays begin to understand and develop their sexual identity amidst a largely hostile social environment. By utilizing social media, these young gays have built digital communities for socialising with fellow gay people, as well as to express their sexual orientation while remaining concealed from other parts of society. Yet, by being forced to keep a low profile, they have also been disincentivized from paying attention to promote their civic and citizenship rights. The findings of this study are based on several qualitative interviews with young gays living in the city of Yogyakarta, Indonesia.

Abstract

The problem of social segregation gains new relevance as digital technology has now become the core of people’s lives and work. Unfortunately, this factor is often neglected in studies of social segregation. Previous studies have only taken note of social and spatial segregation. This study aims to fill a conceptual gap by raising the virtual dimension within socio-spatial segregation. This research finds that virtual segregation has strengthened segregationist tendencies that follow the growth of luxurious housing complexes and gated communities. Furthermore, this study also asserts that deregulation policies in housing and the commercial development of telecommunication infrastructure are factors that exacerbate the tendency of social segregation. Although communities may currently find segregation to be socially acceptable, in the long run, this tendency will complicate efforts to strengthen social cohesion and may intensify socio-economic problems across the population . Focusing on the case of Yogyakarta, this study employs a combination of methods for collecting data that include secondary data analysis, interviews, and Focus Group Discussions.

Abstract

In a multicultural society, tolerance is an important prerequisite for maintaining social order in communal life. Schools are one of the most important loci for habituating a character and culture of tolerance. However, most studies that have been carried out tend to focus more on the problem of intolerance in schools, and have not explored how the habitus of tolerance can be created and practiced instead. This research is a study on how nine schools in seven different cities across Indonesia have developed their own habitus of tolerance. We employed a qualitative research method with in-depth interviews, observa¬tion, and document review data collection techniques. The study shows that the habitus of tolerance in schools is realized through three dimensions. First, the normative dimension, namely through values, norms, and regulations. Second, the practical dimension, namely through the learning process at school in the form of activities and created habits. Third, the symbolic dimension, namely through the use of material symbols.
