Abstract

This study aims to analyze the impact of modern work systems on the social, economic, and emotional lives of workers at the Rista Ban Workshop in Gorontalo City. Using a descriptive qualitative approach and case studies, data were collected through in-depth interviews with the workshop owner and three employees with varying lengths of service. The results show that a rational, standardized, and efficiency-oriented work structure provides economic benefits for workers through basic salaries, meal facilities, and additional income from overtime. However, this system also gives rise to complex social dynamics, such as imbalances in work contributions, potential conflicts between workers, and increased psychological burdens on senior workers. These conditions align with Max Weber's concept of the "iron cage," in which workers are bound by a rational work system that limits flexibility and personal freedom. These findings confirm that modern work systems in small, informal sector businesses have a dualistic impact: strengthening workers' economic stability while simultaneously creating social and emotional stress that requires attention in workforce management.

Abstract

This study explores consumer culture among Sociology students at Gorontalo State University, focusing on the forms, driving factors, meanings, symbolic interactions, and social impacts of consumer behavior. The research approach used was qualitative, with data collected through in-depth interviews with eight students from various semesters and classes from October 27 to November 30, 2025. The findings indicate that consumer behavior primarily occurs in the purchase of non-essential goods, such as clothing, gadgets, and lifestyle products, influenced by peer pressure, social media trends, and family background. Internal factors such as personal financial awareness and family values, as well as external factors such as social media exposure and peer influence, collectively shape student consumption patterns. Consumption serves not only to fulfill needs but also as a symbol of self-expression, identity construction, and social integration. Symbolic interactions influence students' perceptions of needs and wants, guiding consumption decision-making in a social context. The socio-impacts of consumer culture include status competition, financial pressure, and social inequality, while fostering creativity and social bonds.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role of social capital in supporting the sustainability of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in the Kalimadu Culinary Center, Gorontalo City. The approach used was descriptive qualitative with five MSMEs as key informants, selected purposively based on age, type of business, and length of operation. Data collection techniques included in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentation, while data analysis was conducted through thematic analysis to identify relevant patterns, themes, and categories. The results showed that social capital plays a significant role in MSME resilience through social networks between traders, customer trust, and community support. Strategies for utilizing social capital include collaboration, joint promotions, sharing supplier information, and forming small groups to monitor market trends. Obstacles encountered include conflicts of interest between traders, low participation of network members, and differences in priorities that limit the effectiveness of social capital.

Abstract

Early-age smoking remains a significant social issue among high school students. This study examines smoking behavior among students of SMA Negeri 7 Gorontalo, the factors influencing its emergence, and the effectiveness of social control within the family, school, and community. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through observations, in-depth interviews, and documentation involving student smokers, peers, teachers, parents, and community members. The findings reveal that smoking is often carried out secretly and is primarily driven by peer influence, followed by smoking habits within the family, curiosity, easy access to cigarettes, and emotional pressure. Social control in schools and the community remains weak, contributing to the normalization of adolescent smoking. These results support Hirschi’s social control theory, which states that weakened social bonds increase the likelihood of deviant behavior. The study highlights the need to strengthen social control across all environments to reduce early-age smoking among students.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the flexible work relationship model in the Maxim digital transportation industry in Gorontalo, focusing on working-hour flexibility, income, algorithmic control, and social protection for driver-partners. The research employs a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation. The findings indicate that work flexibility provides advantages for drivers in adjusting their work to personal needs; however, it also creates income uncertainty due to dependence on the number of orders and platform algorithms. Most drivers are not registered in social security schemes, exposing them to social and economic risks. Algorithmic control limits drivers’ autonomy despite their freedom to determine working hours. This study recommends the integration of social security coverage, greater algorithmic transparency, digital literacy enhancement, and collaboration among government, companies, and drivers to create a fair and sustainable work ecosystem.

Abstract

This research aims to design a Kids Art Space as a medium for stimulating creativity in early childhood education institutions (PAUD) in Gorontalo City. The research background is based on the limited availability of creative space facilities, which results in children's art activities tending to be instructional and rigid. The method used was Research and Development (R&D) with a Design Thinking approach, encompassing the stages of empathy, definition, ideation, prototyping, and testing. Data were collected through participatory observation, in-depth interviews with educators, and a study of child ergonomics. The results of the study yielded a space design model that integrates flexible wet and dry activity zoning and the use of child-friendly modular furniture. The strength of this design lies in the incorporation of local Karawo motifs as ethno-pedagogical visual stimuli. The study's conclusions indicate that thematically designed Kids Art Space significantly enhances children's independence and courage to explore. This space acts as a "third teacher" facilitating fine motor and cognitive development. The implementation of this design is expected to become a standard reference for innovative PAUD facilities in Gorontalo City in supporting the Independent Curriculum.

Abstract

Early Childhood Education (PAUD) is a crucial stage in human resource development, as it is during this period that the foundation for a child's cognitive, social, emotional, and moral development is formed. However, the implementation of PAUD in Indonesia still faces serious challenges, both in terms of access and quality of services. This study aims to examine various obstacles that hinder the equitable distribution and improvement of the quality of PAUD in Indonesia. The approach used is a qualitative descriptive with a literature study method, involving secondary data sources from scientific journals, policy documents, and reports from relevant national and international institutions. The results of the analysis indicate that geographical disparities between urban and rural areas, especially in the 3T (Disadvantaged, Frontier, Outermost) regions, are the main obstacles in accessing PAUD services. In addition, limited family economic resources and high operational costs also impact the low participation of children in PAUD institutions. From the quality aspect, low teacher qualifications and competencies, inadequate welfare of educators, and suboptimal curriculum implementation are key issues that require serious attention. The governance of early childhood education institutions and quality assurance systems are also still not effectively integrated. This study recommends the need for a collaborative strategy between the central and regional governments, communities, and the private sector to expand access and improve the quality of early childhood education services in Indonesia. These efforts need to be supported by supportive policies, adequate funding, ongoing teacher training, and a participatory quality evaluation system.

Abstract

Laws and regulations play a strategic role in shaping the direction, structure, and effectiveness of education management. Education is understood not only as a pedagogical process but also as an institutional practice within the framework of state administration and public policy. This article aims to analyze the role of laws and regulations in education management and identify challenges that arise in their implementation. This study uses a qualitative approach with a library research design, with data sources consisting of educational legislation, policy documents, academic books, and relevant journal articles. Data are analyzed using a juridical-normative approach and thematic analysis to interpret the function of regulations, implementation patterns, and their implications for education governance. The results of the study indicate that laws and regulations function as instruments of legitimacy, control, and direction in education management, particularly in ensuring accountability, quality standards, and legal certainty. However, this study also identified challenges in the form of gaps between norms and practices, regulatory rigidity, and policy inconsistencies between levels of government that have the potential to hinder innovation and managerial effectiveness. Therefore, a more adaptive, coherent, and evidence-based regulatory approach is needed so that the law does not only function as an administrative control tool, but also as a facilitator for improving the quality and sustainability of education management.
