Abstract

In Indonesia, suicide research has largely overlooked structural factors at the meso and macro levels, whether as primary causes, contributing factors, or considerations for prevention strategies. The dominance of psychological and psychiatric approaches has marginalized sociological perspectives, limiting a more holistic understanding of suicide. Existing heuristic models primarily frame suicide as a consequence of mental health disorders or economic conditions, reinforcing a dichotomy: one perspective views suicide as a psychological and/or psychiatric phenomenon, while the other treats it as a sociological fact. However, suicide encompasses a far more complex reality that transcends this binary. This study offers a comprehensive theoretical reconstruction, demonstrating that suicide is not merely a psychological, psychiatric, or social issue but an interdisciplinary phenomenon. Through a literature review, this paper proposes an integrative theoretical model that bridges disciplinary divides and provides a framework for more effective prevention strategies. Ultimately, this study argues that an interdisciplinary approach is not only preferable but essential for addressing the multidimensional nature of suicide.

Abstract

This study examines the likelihood of persons with disabilities experiencing chronic diseases compared to those without disabilities, emphasizing the role of demographic characteristics. Prior research shows that individuals with disabilities have a higher risk of chronic diseases due to pre-existing health conditions, secondary complications, healthcare access barriers, and limited health education. Beyond these factors, we argue that demographic characteristics—such as age, gender, insurance status, and living environment—also shape daily habits and lifestyles that influence long-term health outcomes. Using probit regression analysis, this study quantifies the probability of chronic disease among persons with disabilities. Our findings indicate that individuals with disabilities who are female, uninsured, unhappy, reside in urban areas, are of productive age, and live in larger households face a higher likelihood of chronic diseases. Compared to their rural and non-productive-age counterparts, they may encounter more significant stressors, unhealthy lifestyle patterns, and limited preventive healthcare. These results highlight the need for targeted health interventions that address both structural and demographic factors to reduce chronic disease risks among persons with disabilities.

Abstract

Despite increasing interest in social forestry, limited research has explored the interplay between community capacity and access within Indonesia’s Social Forestry Utilization Permit (IPHPS) scheme. This study examines the relationship between community capacity, access, and socio-economic impacts to inform effective policy implementation. Employing a qualitative case study approach, it focuses on a community granted an IPHPS Decree within the Perum Perhutani Forest Management Unit (KPH) Telawa. The findings identify three key dimensions of community capacity: technical capacity (local knowledge and skills), networking capacity (social capital and relationships), and cultural capacity (local wisdom and practices). While legal access to forest permits is necessary, achieving the program’s socio-economic objectives also requires enhanced access to financial capital, technical assistance, government engagement, and private sector partnerships. Strengthening these capacities is critical to ensure the transformative potential of social forestry is fully realized for community welfare and sustainable forest governance.

Abstract

Youth and social media are increasingly intertwined, as their socio-cultural trajectories accelerate digital connectedness and intensify the contestation of diverse identities. Posting on social media has thus become a ritualized practice. This article explores how Indonesian university students construct identities by sharing achievement stories and success narratives on Instagram. Using qualitative data, it examines the experiences of students who have excelled in academic competitions. The study identifies two key typologies behind such posts. Firstly, personal determinism, aimed at self- reward and self-branding. Secondly, social motivation, focused on inspiring peers and building supportive networks to achieve academic success. These typologies reflect a shift in ritual practices, from sacred, magical traditions emphasized in classical sociology and anthropology, to everyday, mediated acts as conceptualized in Goffman’s sociology. Such digital rituals represent a broader transformation of daily practices into a digital culture.
