Abstract

This paper aims to evaluate the compatibility of the belas mechanism, which separates prospective brides still considered children (merariq kodeq), in West Lombok Regency with the provisions of Child Protection Law No. 35/2014. While prior research in various countries has primarily focused on interventions and child marriage prevention programs, this study takes a different approach by examining the intricate relationship between children (those under 18 years of age) and the broader social system. To comprehensively explore this relationship, our team adopts Bronfenbrenner's socio-ecological model, which encompasses various stages of a child's life. This model considers individual biology, interactions with diverse actors, environmental factors, and cultural and structural influences. Our study's findings reveal that the current implementation of the belas mechanism does not adequately align with the principles of child protection. This inadequacy is particularly evident in terms of the psychological well-being and vulnerability of girls who become victims of child marriage, especially in unique situations involving girls who experience unwanted pregnancies. To conduct our research, we employed qualitative methodologies, including participant observation and in-depth interviews. These methods allowed us to engage with primary subjects, five girls aged 14–18 years, as well as key stakeholders such as representatives from children's forums, village child protection commissions, religious leaders, parents, teachers, and others.

Abstract

The digital nomad is a new type of worker who works from a location other than a “traditional office,” with the freedom to choose where and when to work as long as they have good internet access. The presence of digital nomads has an impact on the dynamics or social changes in society. The public’s reaction to the appearance of this digital traveler was mixed. Some people believe that these new ways of working will harm the work system, but many are gradually adopt it. Bali has become one of the strategic locations and is widely used as a destination for digital nomads. In fact, this is supported by the work from Bali policy which aims to drive the economy in Bali, especially during the pandemic. Indonesia, on the other hand, does not yet have any specific regulations governing digital nomads. The goal of this research is twofold: the first is to conduct a sentiment analysis on Twitter about digital nomads to see how the community reacts, and the second is to see the implications of government policies regarding digital nomads. This study employs qualitative methods with a case study approach, as well as big data methods related to sentiment analysis.

Abstract

Many tourists destinations experience revitalisation through funding from foreign capital that is brought by gentrification. As a result, tourist areas transform into regions that are friendly toward tourists and investment. Various studies see gentrification as an expression of consumer demand, individual preferences over the law of supply and demand. However, this article argues that tourism gentrification shows a different dynamic, namely driving the significance of tourism growth that supports overtourism. This article focuses on the reason why Balinese do not feel that the phenomenon of gentrification and the development of protests are a part of the symptom of overtourism. Research was conducted in the three tourist areas of Sanur, Kuta, and Ubud. These locations were indicated as gentrification areas. The three locations present a fascinating tension regarding the role of tourism to draw the expansion of capitalism through capital investment and corporate actions, as well as opposed interests that struggle to control the production, representation, and image of tourism in Bali. Research results indicated that the gentrification of tourism not only causes land and property rental values to increase, but also drives land transformation and utilization in Bali. The gentrification of tourism in Bali refers to the socio-spatial transformation by which private corporations and the state invest in low-class areas, marked by the construction of tourist facilities that encourage signs of overtourism.

Abstract

This article seeks to observe the modernization of economic institutions that were originally working traditionally, into alternative economic institutions that continue to apply the value of locality. Previous studies on LPN Limau Manis only discussed its role in poverty alleviation and the management of its economic organization, but did not provide a comprehensive explanation of the transformation of LPN that combines traditional and modern concepts. This article argues that the institutional modernization of LPN Limau Manis that occurs remains attached to the customary values of the Nagari society. The qualitative method was used to collect data using a case study research. This article revealed that the LPN, which underwent a transformation into a modern management system, remained attached to the social conditions of Nagari society as seen from the social profit-based approach. However, the transformation of LPN to an alternative economy also shows an element of local capitalism that

Abstract

Several studies have noted that electoral support for one of the Islamist parties in Indonesia, the Prosperous Justice Party (PKS), is mostly concentrated in urban areas. While I agree with this observation, I found that these studies did not pay adequate attention to the diversity of socio-political conditions in urban areas that contributed to the varying electoral support for PKS. One of these socio-political conditions is what Lipset and Rokkan (1967) conceptualized as cleavages (divisions of society). Based on the results of 2014 and 2019 local parliamentary elections in Javan urban areas, I argue that there are three cleavage patterns formed in these areas, namely single dominant, dyadic dominant, and fragmented. Each cleavage pattern has implications for the formation of a type of support for PKS. In regions with single dominant and dyadic dominant cleavages, the Islamist party tends to receive moderate or low support. Further, compared to the the support gained by the winning party, PKS’ votes tends to be much lower. However, in areas with fragmented cleavage, PKS tends to receive high or moderate support, and the votes gained by PKS tend to be comparable to that of the winning party. The data in this article were obtained from secondary data regarding PKS’ gains in the legislative elections for district/city parliaments in 2014 and 2019 in 46 urban areas in Java, online interviews, and literature studies.

Abstract

This article is the result of research on artisanal and small-scale gold mining in Tatelu. The study was conducted using field theory and qualitative research methods. With the permission from the government, mining activities become stable because there is certainty of ownership rights. Mining activities are managed by entrepreneurs, cooperatives, and the village government and have provided welfare for the people of Tatelu and surrounding areas. Villagers involved in mining have transformed economic capital obtained from mining into physical capital in the form of village infrastructure, housing, cultural or educational capital, and investment in other economic activities. There is vertical mobility of several miners and entrepreneurs. Vertical mobility begins after mining activities are stable where the agency capacity of the actors can be realized in the form of actions that allow capital accumulation. The deeper the hole to get gold ore, the more difficult the upward mobility of miners and entrepreneurs with limited economic capital because mining costs are increasingly expensive. There are indications that entrepreneurs with small capital will decrease because they cannot finance the mining business. The results of this study will lead to the conclusion that in the field of small scale mining economic capital is far more decisive than cultural capital and the agency capacity of the actors is increasingly limited as the mine hole deepens.

Abstract

CSR practices continue to grow as a promising alternative development resource, yet still predominantly charitable in nature, preventing them from optimal community empowerment. Therefore, studies and policies at the national and global levels remain in search of the best format to optimize CSR programs’ role in community empowerment. A number of literature show less than optimal active participation and capacity-building of the community if a program is initiated by a directive, top-down approach, providing only a minimal participatory space based on the community’s potentials. Using qualitative method and in-depth interview techniques, this paper finds that the local community participation in PLTU’s CSR implementation is symbolic and characterized by artificiality, mobilization to meet procedures, and more dominant role of elite actors that hampers empowerment and capacity-building of the community at large. The local community’s participation only reaches the level of placation and is not in line with the spirit of the Proper guidelines aimed at achieving the level of partnership. It is due to the company’s approach that tends to be procedural in fulfilling the Proper parameters without providing sufficient space and time to accommodate the community’s aspirations and potentials, the limited program assistances, and the pragmatic society that has lost its communal characters.

Abstract

Street vendors are basically able to sustain the economy of the urban poor. However, their existence is considered to cause disorder in the way they often deal with disciplinary actions organized by the government. The policy set by the provincial government on street vendors should be addressed to the cultural dimension, by minimizing acts of violence and instilling the values of cleanliness and order. Previous studies see street vendors as alternative economic actors who have a stake in the national economy. The studies also put more emphasis on policies (structure) and behaviour of street vendors (culture) so that they do not show sustainable and inclusive development. For this reason, the study in this article adds the dimension of social processes besides discussing the structure and culture under the social development framework in the case of street vendors through interactions that are built between them and the government. It uses surveys as the quantitative method to measure the level or achievements of social development, and applies cluster sampling techniques according to the area and type of commodity. In addition, a qualitative method is also used to explore the meaning of street vendors in dealing with the structure by interviewing and conducting FGDs on market managers, government officials, street vendor associations and street vendors themselves.

Abstract

Informal economic has a big proportion which absorbs 58% of the workforce in Indonesia. In urban areas, it easily can be seen as street vendors (SV). Several previous studies on informal economic about street vendors see them from negative perspective (as the source of urban irregularity) and positive perspective (for contribution to national economic development). By using the literature review, observation, and depth interview with the SV at Jalan Salemba Raya (Jakarta City) and Jalan Raya Sawangan (Depok City), this article particularly shows with the second perspective of previous studies that SV contributes to economic activity in urban. The conversion of SV capitals (social, cultural, and economic) in adaptation effort with using technology (internet) are modes of survival in economic competition and technological changes.

Abstract

This study explores the advent of microfinance institution that has been an important development in recent years. Through case study on one microfinance institution namely lumbung pitih nagari located in Padang, West Sumatra, Indonesia, this study found that the existence of the micro credit institute has been influenced by several factors such as state regulations. In 1997, the central bank of Indonesia (BI) carried out regulatory reforms in order to reduce the risk of bank failures. This regulation in fact has weakened the role of microfinance institutions in giving financial services to small-medium enterprises (SMEs). However, in the reformation era, many local microfinance institutions emerge as the Ministry of Cooperation and Small-Medium Enterprises has officially given support for the betterment of SMEs through soft loan mechanism. LPN has been one of its kind which is able to run profitably and at the same time to facilitate credit for SMEs in the region.
