Abstract

This study aims to sociologically analyze the dynamics of juvenile delinquency in Pandu Village, Manado, by situating the phenomenon within the broader structure of social relations that shape adolescents’ lives. Drawing on social control theory and the concept of collective efficacy, this research employs a qualitative case study design to examine how informal social institutions regulate deviant behavior. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and field observations and were analyzed thematically to identify patterns of social interaction influencing adolescent behavior. The findings indicate that juvenile delinquency cannot be understood merely as an individual problem, but rather as a reflection of the configuration of local social structures. Three major findings emerged. First, strengthened family-based social control—through emotional attachment, open communication, and moral exemplification—serves as the primary protective mechanism. Second, the institutionalization of religious values functions as a moral foundation within the community, reinforcing the legitimacy of social norms. Third, local social cohesion fosters collective supervision, thereby limiting opportunities for anonymity and deviant conduct. The integration of these three dimensions forms a relatively stable and resilient informal social control system against delinquency risks. This study reinforces the relevance of social control theory and collective efficacy within the context of local Indonesian communities. Practically, the findings suggest that preventing juvenile delinquency is more effective when focusing on strengthening family institutions, revitalizing religious participation, and enhancing community solidarity rather than relying solely on punitive approaches. However, this study is limited to a single-site qualitative case; therefore, future research employing comparative or mixed-method designs is recommended to test the consistency of these findings across different social contexts, including communities with higher levels of urbanization and social disorganization.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the empowerment of women survivors of domestic violence carried out by the Women’s Empowerment and Child Protection Agency (DP3A) of Samarinda City. Empowerment is considered a crucial step in rebuilding survivors’ independence, self-confidence, and quality of life. This research uses a descriptive qualitative method with data collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. Informants were selected using purposive sampling and consisted of domestic violence survivors as the main informants, the head of the women’s empowerment division as key informants, and staff of the Regional Technical Implementation Unit for Women and Child Protection (UPTD PPA) as supporting informants. The findings show that empowerment is implemented through three main approaches: enabling, empowering, and protecting. The enabling approach includes providing information, counseling services, education on domestic violence, and complaint facilities to build survivors’ awareness and courage. The empowering approach involves skills training, business capital assistance, strengthening economic capacity, and facilitating equivalency education to increase survivors’ independence. Meanwhile, the protecting approach includes the provision of safe houses, legal protection, psychological assistance, and cross-institutional collaboration to ensure victims’ safety and recovery. These programs contribute to improving survivors’ self-confidence, economic independence, and psychosocial resilience. However, the implementation still faces challenges such as limited budgets, a shortage of professional personnel, and persistent social stigma. This study concludes that the enabling, empowering, and protecting model implemented by DP3A Samarinda has produced positive impacts, although further strengthening is needed to ensure optimal and sustainable implementation.

Abstract

The sustainability of traditional medicine practices amid the expansion of modern biomedical systems is an important issue in health sociology studies. Among migrant students in Makassar City, traditional medicine practices continue to be used, even though they live in an urban environment with broad access to formal medical services. This study aims to analyze how traditional medicine practices are constructed, interpreted, and reproduced in the lives of migrant students in the modern era. This study uses a qualitative approach, including in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation. The study's results yield four main findings. First, the role of the family is central in shaping the continuity of traditional medicine practices through socialization and habits ingrained since childhood. Second, students demonstrate practical rationality in choosing treatment by comparing the effectiveness, cost, and healing experiences of formal medical services and traditional medicine. Third, the subjective dimension of illness interpretation shows that some illnesses are understood within a non-biomedical framework that includes spiritual aspects and inner experiences. Fourth, the reproduction of traditional medicine traditions occurs through family relationships, social networks, and digital mediation, which enable these practices to remain alive in a modern urban context. These findings indicate that traditional medicine is not merely a residual practice but rather the result of social constructions continuously negotiated in the lives of migrant students.

Abstract

Multicultural attitudes among academics constitute a crucial topic in the field of education. Understanding the impact of multiculturalism on student learning is essential for fostering an inclusive and equitable educational environment in Indonesia, a country characterized by diverse ethnicities, religions, and cultures. This study examines students’ multicultural attitudes toward diversity in the classroom within the Sociology Education Study Program at Universitas Negeri Manado. The research employs a qualitative approach, using interviews, observations, and documentation to collect relevant information on the implementation of multicultural education among students. The findings indicate that multicultural education plays a significant role in developing students’ tolerance, acceptance, and harmony toward diversity. The study also reveals that students who internalize multicultural attitudes demonstrate greater understanding and appreciation of different cultures, languages, and traditions. This understanding contributes to a more inclusive and harmonious classroom environment, where students are able to collaborate and learn from one another.

Abstract

This article examines the creative transformation of public criticism in Indonesia through the case study of comedian Kiky Saputri’s roasting of political figures in the television program Lapor Pak. In a socio-political environment characterized by a low tolerance for dissent, the study applies Paul Ricoeur’s three-stage hermeneutic model prefiguration, configuration, and transfiguration to analyze how political critique is reshaped through humor and storytelling. The findings reveal that roasting serves as a discursive strategy that shifts criticism from confrontational protest to a narrative form that blends satire, entertainment, and public engagement. This transformation aligns with Ricoeur’s concept of semantic autonomy, in which the meaning of a text is determined by its audience rather than its origin. While roasting opens a space for creative dissent, the study also identifies its potential for depoliticization as it becomes embedded within commercial entertainment logics. Thus, the transformation of criticism into popular media content reflects both discursive innovation and ideological tension in contemporary Indonesian public life.

Abstract

Changes in the transportation structure and growing competition from app-based transportation have created new pressures on the sustainability of microlet drivers’ communities. Under these conditions, social solidarity becomes important not merely as a form of social cohesion but also as a mechanism through which a community sustains itself amid economic change. This study examines how solidarity is practiced, maintained, and negotiated among microlet drivers in Tataaran II Village, South Tondano District. The study employs a qualitative approach, drawing on data collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The data were interpreted using Émile Durkheim’s perspective on social solidarity. The findings demonstrate that solidarity among microlet drivers is grounded in shared occupational identities, common experiences, a sense of shared fate, kinship relations, and social and religious values, all of which are reproduced through everyday practices. Solidarity is further sustained through informal queuing systems at loading points, information exchange, technical assistance when vehicles encounter problems, rotating savings groups, deliberation, and collective social activities. These practices indicate that mechanical and organic solidarity do not necessarily operate as separate forms. Shared identities and experiences provide the basis for collective cohesion, while functional interdependence in organizing work and responding to economic pressures reflects an organic dimension of solidarity. Importantly, competition for passengers and the expansion of app-based transportation do not automatically erode solidarity. Instead, they increase the need for coordination, trust, and mutual support among drivers. The study argues that solidarity functions as an adaptive social mechanism through which microlet drivers manage the tension between individual economic interests and collective sustainability amid the transformation of the transportation sector.

Abstract

Mane’e remains part of everyday life on Kakorotan Island, where collective fishing brings together customary rules, communal work, and local ways of relating to the sea. Its continuity now unfolds amid changing fishing technologies, population mobility, shifting lifestyles, and growing public exposure beyond the island. This study examines how the Kakorotan community continues to practice and transmit Mane’e under these changing conditions. A descriptive qualitative study was conducted on Kakorotan Island, Talaud Islands, in November 2025. Data were collected through observation, interviews with five informants from different social and generational backgrounds, and documentation. The findings reveal that Mane’e continues through a series of activities carried out collectively. Community members deliberate on its timing, divide responsibilities, prepare fishing equipment, observe eha, harvest fish collectively, and distribute the catch. Through eha, the community establishes a period during which marine resources within the pomo area cannot be harvested. Access to the sea is therefore governed by collectively recognized decisions and obligations. Younger generations learn Mane’e by participating in preparations, guarding restricted areas, assisting during the fishing process, and following the guidance of customary elders. Cultural transmission takes place through the experience of practicing Mane’e alongside those who have inherited its knowledge before them. Meanwhile, social media and cultural tourism are bringing Mane’e into wider public spaces. The continuity of Mane’e rests on the Kakorotan community’s capacity to keep customary rules, knowledge of the sea, shared responsibilities, and collective work meaningful and workable as social conditions change.

Abstract

This study analyzes classroom management problems in history learning at SMA Negeri 1 Praya Tengah, the factors causing them, and the solutions implemented by history teachers. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed. Data were collected through observation, open interviews, and documentation; credibility was examined through triangulation, while analysis involved data collection, reduction, display, and conclusion drawing. The findings show interconnected classroom management problems involving the preparation and adjustment of lesson plans and learning devices, limited and underused learning media, diverse student characteristics and learning interest, and the learning environment. The causes consist of internal and external factors. Internal factors include human resources—particularly low learning interest among some students and the mismatch between some teachers’ academic backgrounds and history education—as well as limited facilities and infrastructure. External factors include school and home environments that do not consistently support learning. Teachers respond by reviewing instructional management, discussing problems with fellow history teachers, approaching students personally, evaluating their own teaching practices, and revising subsequent lesson plans. School leadership support includes teacher training, budget provision for learning media, teaching materials, and improved facilities. The study indicates that effective history learning requires adaptive and collaborative classroom management supported by teacher competence and adequate learning resources.

Abstract

This study examines the ethical and moral dimensions of fulfilling the right to palliative care for marginalized communities in Indonesia, an issue that has largely been addressed as a technical-administrative concern rather than as a matter of social justice. The study addresses two questions: how ethical and moral principles conceptualize the right of marginalized communities to adequate and dignified palliative care, and which structural factors most significantly shape inequalities in access to such care within the Indonesian health system. To address these questions, the study employs a normative-ethical review approach combined with a thematic synthesis of six primary documents, including systematic reviews, normative legal studies, and bioethics articles, supplemented by supporting literature. The sources were analyzed according to the two research questions. The synthesis indicates that the right to palliative care has a strong constitutional and legislative foundation and emphasizes patient autonomy; however, its implementation is constrained by the ambiguous legal status of technical guidelines and the dominance of family decision-making over individual autonomy. Inequalities in access are shaped by the concentration of facilities in major cities, limited availability of trained health professionals, a national financing scheme that does not explicitly cover palliative care services, and low public awareness, as reflected in Indonesia’s relatively low position in global quality-of-death rankings. The findings also reveal that existing legal and ethical literature rarely explicitly incorporates socioeconomic vulnerability as an analytical variable. These findings underscore the need for a contextual ethical framework that integrates distributive justice into national palliative care policies in order to strengthen the protection of health rights among vulnerable groups.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze patterns of multicultural communication in fostering a harmonious family through premarital counseling for intercultural couples at the Religious Affairs Office (KUA) of Rantepao Subdistrict, North Toraja Regency. The study was motivated by the diversity of North Toraja society, which encourages interethnic and intercultural marriages. The study employed a descriptive qualitative approach, utilizing data collection techniques such as in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation. The research subjects consisted of three BIMTEK-certified facilitators and five engaged couples from the Toraja, Sunda, Bugis, and Javanese ethnic groups. Data were analyzed through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results of the study indicate that marriage counseling was conducted through four main topics: Foundations of a Harmonious Family, Building a Harmonious Family, Meeting Family Needs, and Family Psychology. Multicultural communication patterns were applied through the use of simple and inclusive Indonesian, Islamic communication principles, and verbal and nonverbal approaches that took into account the participants’ cultural diversity. The application of these patterns enhanced the engaged couples’ understanding of effective communication as the foundation of a harmonious family. The challenges encountered included language barriers, cultural misunderstandings during wedding preparations, time constraints, and a lack of awareness among some participants. The facilitators addressed these challenges through an inclusive approach, storytelling, simple language, and participatory methods.
