Abstract

This research analyzes the phenomenon of lack of access to education in Beringin Village, Ranoyapo Sub-district, South Minahasa Regency, through the perspective of Dependency Theory. It focuses on explaining how dependence on external parties, such as the central and local governments, creates structural inequalities that hinder educational development in remote areas. The focus of this research is SD Negeri Beringin, the only primary school in the village, which has very limited educational facilities. Field observations show that the school lacks adequate classrooms, textbooks and teaching staff. In addition, poor infrastructure, such as hard-to-reach roads, exacerbates the accessibility problem. Through a qualitative method with data collection through observation, in-depth interviews with teachers, parents and community leaders, as well as a study of policy documents, this study found that dependence on external policies, lack of resource allocation and lack of local initiatives are the main factors of this problem. The results of this study are expected to inform the government and other stakeholders in formulating more inclusive and equitable education policies.

Abstract

The advancement of social media has changed the way religious messages are disseminated in society, including in the realm of da'wah. Digital platforms such as YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok have become new spaces for preachers to deliver lectures that emphasize the values of religious moderation and tolerance. This study aims to analyze how social media becomes a medium for da'wah discourse that supports interfaith harmony and how it affects patterns of social interaction in society. Using a qualitative approach based on discourse analysis, this research examines various da'wah content that emphasizes inclusive messages, interfaith dialogue, and calls for peaceful coexistence. The results show that social media is not only a means of spreading da'wah but also forming a new ecosystem for a more open religion. Preachers and preachers who are active on social media have a strategic role in building a more moderate religious narrative, so as to reduce the potential for religious-based conflict. In addition, audience interaction through online comments and discussion features shows a wider acceptance of tolerance values, although there are still challenges from conservative groups that maintain exclusive views. Thus, social media has the potential to be an effective instrument in building a more inclusive and harmonious understanding of religion amid the diversity of digital society.

Abstract

The development of democracy in post-reform Indonesia shows dynamic conditions, including the widespread use of social policy as an electoral political tool. The controversy over this phenomenon is still rarely studied in depth in academic discourse. The 2024 general election in Indonesia is a clear example of the escalation of the use of social programmes as political instruments, a hallmark of post-reform democracy. This research focuses on the political construction and contestation of the Free Nutritious Meal (MBG) programme during the 2024 Presidential Election campaign. Using a descriptive qualitative approach and case study method, this research analyses how the MBG programme was produced, debated and disseminated through online media coverage during the official campaign period. The results showed two main findings. First, the MBG programme became a populist narrative that was strategically leveraged to increase the electability of candidates. Second, the programme generated widespread criticism from the public and civil society groups, highlighting the tendency of social policy instrumentality for electoral purposes. This research recommends the need for further studies to explore the long-term impact of social policy politicisation on public trust, democratic accountability, and the integrity of welfare distribution in Indonesia's evolving democracy.

Abstract

School choice is often assumed to be a rational decision aligned with spatial efficiency, as reflected in education zoning policies. However, in the context of urban peripheries, such decisions are frequently shaped by more complex social, cultural, and economic factors. This study aims to examine the rationality behind students' choice of SMP Hasyim Asyari, located in Tallo District, Makassar City—a non-favorite school with limited facilities and an unstrategic location. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach and case study method, data were collected through in-depth interviews with several students and one teacher, as well as direct observation of the school environment. The findings reveal that students’ decisions were based on religious values, social comfort, affordability, and recommendations from social networks, rather than prestige or geographical proximity alone. These practices reflect community agency in resisting the symbolic dominance of the formal education system through subtle yet significant forms of everyday resistance. The study recommends the need for educational policies that are more context-sensitive and responsive to the values of local communities.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the role of Village-Owned Enterprises (BUMDes) in enhancing the rural economy, with a case study in Mattirowalie Village, Mare Subdistrict, Bone Regency. This village is recognized as one of the clove-producing centers in South Sulawesi, marked by the establishment of a clove oil distillation factory inaugurated by the local government. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews, field observations, and document analysis. The findings indicate that BUMDes plays a vital role in managing local potential through agribusiness and service-based business units, while also encouraging community participation in local economic development. The presence of BUMDes has contributed to increased household income and strengthened village self-reliance. However, the implementation of BUMDes also faces several challenges, such as limited human resources, market access, and managerial capacity. The study recommends strengthening BUMDes institutional capacity, providing training tailored to local needs, and ensuring supportive policies from local governments. These findings confirm that BUMDes can serve as a strategic instrument in promoting inclusive and sustainable rural economic development.

Abstract

In recent years, smart home devices have been promoted as tools for enhancing efficiency and convenience in household management. However, their influence on domestic labor and gender roles remains underexplored, particularly regarding their impact on the lives of female domestic workers. This systematic review examines the impact of smart home technologies on domestic workers and the implications for gender roles. This study employs a comprehensive search strategy across Scopus databases to select relevant articles, ensuring a thorough examination of existing literature on the intersection of smart home technology, domestic labor, and gender. The PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines help researchers plan and carry out systematic reviews systematically, maintain transparency, reduce bias, and achieve rigor in review processes. The results point out that potential smart home technologies can both empower and constrain domestic workers. On the one hand, these technologies can enhance workers' autonomy by reducing the physical demands of domestic tasks. On the other hand, they can increase surveillance and control over domestic workers, potentially intensifying their workload and reinforcing traditional gender norms. The integration of smart home technologies into domestic settings has complex implications for gender equity. While these technologies offer opportunities to challenge traditional gender roles, they can also reinforce existing inequalities if not carefully implemented.

Abstract

This study examines the role of Hanei Here Coffee in Samarinda as a learning space and a part of student lifestyle, particularly for students of Mulawarman University. The café has evolved beyond a place for leisure into an informal learning environment that is comfortable, effective, and affordable. The research uses a descriptive qualitative method with a case study approach, based on the theory of Kotler and Keller. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, and analyzed using data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing techniques. The findings show that Hanei Here Coffee supports students’ academic activities and productivity, becoming an integral part of their lifestyle. Its conducive environment meets academic, social, and emotional needs, making it a multifunctional space that plays an important role in students’ daily lives. Thus, the café serves as an alternative learning space and reflects the shifting habits of students in navigating their academic life more flexibly and creatively.

Abstract

Studies on illegal parking and the dynamics of urban spatial planning have generally been written within the framework of a structural perspective that views the phenomenon of illegal parking solely as a form of violation of order, law, and formal spatial planning. This approach often ignores the social dimensions that underlie the emergence of this practice, as well as how marginalized groups try to survive amidst limited access to urban space and resources. This article attempts to offer an alternative perspective by discussing the dynamics of urban space that is contested through illegal parking practices in Makassar City. This research was conducted on the phenomenon of illegal parking in the Panakukang Mall area, one of the largest modern shopping centers in the city. The research findings show that illegal parking practices are a form of informal use of public space that reflects power relations and social inequality in the urban context. Illegal parking perpetrators develop various survival and adaptation strategies, as well as community solidarity, in response to economic pressures and unfair regulations. Illegal parking in this area is a real reflection of urban marginality, where marginalized groups try to maintain their existence in an increasingly exclusive city landscape dominated by the logic of formality and commercialization. This article highlights the importance of reading urban space not only as a physical entity, but also as an arena for struggles over access, legitimacy, and the survival of marginalized groups.
