Abstract

Freedom is a universal aspiration, yet its meaning changes with the life from which it is viewed. For some, freedom means financial independence and release from corporate schedules; for others, it means living without a spouse, children, social supervision, or obligations that dictate how time and money must be used. This perspective argues that every apparent liberation can generate another attachment. The employee may be bound to a corporation, while the entrepreneur becomes bound to a system of his own making, including payroll, clients, operating costs, ambition, and the fear of decline. The same paradox appears in family life, social expectations, religious accountability, and even the desire to be recognised as free. Human beings therefore seem to move not from bondage to absolute liberty, but from one form of attachment to another. From the author's perspective, freedom is the occasional capacity to do what one genuinely wishes without hesitation, obstruction, or submission to the judgement of others, while possessing the practical ability to act. Yet even this definition can become another prison when it is defended as an identity. The search for freedom may therefore culminate not in escape from life, but in finding a path - the Dao - through which one can move among obligations without being entirely possessed by them.

Abstract

(Background) Traditional food markets are essential food-distribution spaces, yet inadequate sanitation, poor waste handling, and weak clean and healthy living behavior can intensify environmental health and food-safety risks. (Objective) This study analyzed the implementation of selected Healthy Market indicators in Pasar Ciputat and Pasar Modern BSD, South Tangerang, by comparing documented 2014 conditions with 2026 field observations. (Methods) A partial replication design was applied using structured observation from 21-27 April 2026. Twelve binary indicators were derived from the 2008 Healthy Market guideline and Minister of Health Regulation Number 17 of 2020, covering waste management, drainage, handwashing facilities, toilets, and smoking-related PHBS. Descriptive scoring was calculated as the proportion of fulfilled indicators. (Results) Pasar Ciputat improved from two of twelve indicators in 2014 (16.7%) to three indicators in 2026 (25.0%), mainly because covered waste bins were identified in 2026. Pasar Modern BSD maintained seven documented fulfilled indicators in both periods (58.3%), reflecting stronger infrastructure but no measurable behavioral progress. Across both markets, trader-level waste separation, absence of standing water, soap availability, and compliance with smoke-free behavior remained unmet. (Conclusions) The Healthy Market Program in South Tangerang shows a persistent facility-behavior gap. Infrastructure provision must be coupled with routine supervision, trader education, smoke-free enforcement, and cross-sector environmental health governance.

Abstract

This systematic integrative review clarifies how anthropolinguistics and sociolinguistics can be combined without erasing their distinct explanatory orientations. Literature was identified through Google Scholar, Crossref Metadata Search, publisher platforms, Indonesian scholarly repositories, author profiles, and backward citation tracing. The search record was updated on 22 July 2026 and covered works published from 1960 to July 2026. Of 31 candidate records, four duplicates were removed, 27 records were screened, 21 full-text scholarly works were assessed, and 18 works were retained at the eligibility stage. Seventeen substantive works entered thematic synthesis; the PRISMA 2020 statement was used solely as reporting guidance. Sources were coded by disciplinary orientation, unit of analysis, treatment of culture and variation, mechanism of social meaning, evidence type, and empirical relevance. Five clusters emerged: ethnography of communication, variationist sociolinguistics, indexicality and identity, language ideology, and anthropolinguistic research on oral tradition and local wisdom. The synthesis demonstrates that anthropolinguistics explains culturally situated meaning, whereas sociolinguistics establishes the patterned social distribution of linguistic forms. Indexicality connects distribution to interactional identity work, and language ideology explains the institutional evaluation of linguistic resources. The article develops a culture-variation-indexicality framework organised by cross-level traceability: each substantive claim must connect an identifiable linguistic feature, its cultural interpretation, its social patterning, and the interactional mechanism through which it acquires social meaning. The framework offers a rigorous basis for empirical studies of Indonesian multilingualism, ritual discourse, local knowledge, linguistic landscapes, and intergenerational language change.

Abstract

This study examines a bounded implementation case of Indonesia's Social Rehabilitation of Uninhabitable Houses and Environmental Infrastructure programme (Rehabilitasi Sosial Rumah Tidak Layak Huni dan Sarana Prasarana Lingkungan; hereafter the RTLH rehabilitation programme) in Barito Kuala Regency, South Kalimantan. The case comprises a 15-household allocation list contained in provincial programme records and eight purposively selected informants interviewed in April 2026; it is not the complete regency caseload. A descriptive qualitative design combined interviews, direct observation in Antasan Segera Village, and documentary analysis. Evidence was organised manually by programme stage, coded through Edwards III's four implementation dimensions, and triangulated through a source-by-theme matrix. The bounded case showed stronger downstream compliance than upstream access capacity. All 15 listed households passed verification, direct transfers were reported through Bank Kalsel, and recorded construction durations were 10–25 days. Convergent accounts indicated active facilitation and documentary monitoring. By contrast, beneficiaries described uneven information, repeated document completion, DTKS and tenure mismatches, and long waits; officials reported constrained allocations and uniform grant values. Wetland conditions are treated as a contextual mechanism rather than a regency-wide causal effect: field documentation showed raised timber construction on wet ground, while participants linked local access and weather to material delivery and repair prioritisation. The study concludes that procedural completion among admitted households cannot establish equitable programme-wide access. Rolling pre-verification, integrated eligibility records, transparent application tracking, and grants responsive to verified damage and local logistics are warranted.
