Abstract

The Pesanggrahan Dalem Paku Buwono IX (PB IX) is situated in Langenharjo Village, Sukoharjo Regency, Indonesia. The site was founded in 1870 by PB IX (1830-1893), but it is currently facing environmental degradation, despite its past pristine water and natural hot springs. However, with the new management takeover by GPH Wicaksono, a descendant of the Surakarta Royal Family, there is hope for the conservation of this heritage site. This research explores servant leadership practices within the cultural context of GPH Wicaksono as the manager of heritage site in Langenharjo village. Drawing on Greenleaf's servant leadership principles, it examines how Javanese culture, and the wisdom of the manager can foster collective engagement in environmental preservation. The study aimed to provide valuable insights into leadership's role in promoting sustainability for the heritage site and the local community. The identification of servant leadership implementation in the heritage site was using a qualitative approach. Data collection involves on-site observations and in-depth interviews with relevant stakeholders, including community leaders, members of the community, and cultural enthusiasts. The data is analyzed using phenomenology analysis to identify specific servant leadership behaviors of site manager and their role in fostering environmental preservation and sustainability within the community. The study's findings showed that the manager is dedicated to preserving the heritage site by promoting strong ties with Javanese culture and tradition. He encourages an eco-friendly mindset and collective participation to sustainably protect the environment. He also values effective communication and respects his colleagues, which in turn fosters trust and empowerment among the team. By following principles of Javanese culture, he leads and empowers communities toward environmental sustainability. This study contributes to the importance of incorporating cultural values in leadership practices to foster collective engagement and green awareness for long-term environmental preservation. It serves as an initial study for further research using quantitative analysis to deepen our understanding of servant leadership’s effectiveness in diverse cultural contexts.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze how the contribution of Gender Equality, Disability, and Social Inclusion (GEDSI)-based political education as social capital that can be utilized by female politicians to increase their participation, influence, and role in politics. The research approach used is qualitative with in-depth interview data collection techniques, focus group discussions with research informants involving female politicians involved in the 2024 election contestation. In addition, literature study documents are also a data collection tool that supports research findings. Data analysis was carried out using coding techniques consisting of three stages, open coding, axial coding, and selective coding. The research findings show that the existence of GEDSI political education makes aspects of gender equality, disability inclusion, and social diversity as capital that equips female politicians with the skills to build political strategies, networking skills and overcome structural and cultural barriers in the political system. For female politicians, the implementation of GEDSI political education is used as social capital that distinguishes them from male politicians in advocating policies with a broad perspective in understanding social complexity, thus enabling them to design more responsive and equitable policies. By leveraging the social capital gained from GEDSI education, female politicians can not only strengthen their position on the political stage, but also contribute to creating a more just and representative political governance.

Abstract

Conflicts over sea sand mining in Indonesia has intensified over the past ten years as more concessions have been granted to companies engaged in sea sand production. The location of the sea sand mine overlapping with fishermen's fishing grounds and the lack of communication cause conflicts between coastal and small islands society and local governments, as well as companies that hold license or companies that conduct sea sand mining. The sea sand mining conflicts in three provinces has occurred, escalated and reached the stage of violence. The research used a variety of conflict analysis tools to explain the typology, stages, cycles and applicable conflict management. The research used qualitative methods with a multi-special approach and data collection was carried out by interviewing several informants, and researching documentation studies including literature from similar previous research documentation. The research found that the resolution of sea sand mining conflicts that occurred on the islands of Sumatra, Sulawesi and Nusa Tenggara was competitive with a lose-win orientation. Conflict settlement took place with one party conceding to the other, third-party intervention and consideration on the demand of sea sand market. In three research locations it is known that conflict resolution fails to address the root cause of the issue, causing it to revert to the basic stage of conflict. As a result, at some point, conflict can escalate and become apparent as in line with market demand after the legalization of sea sand exports.

Abstract

Fade haircuts are one of the most popular looks these days. The haircut entails cutting the sides and the back of the head as short as possible and making it transition or "fade" into the longer hair on the head. This article looks at the shared culture of men in a barbershop in Amsterdam Nieuw-West through the theory of cultural capital by Bourdieu. This theory, used to analyze the upper-class French, can be implemented to analyze all kinds of groups and people. Manners, knowledge, behaviors, and skills that a person can tap into to demonstrate one's cultural competence and social status all come together in cultural capital. These beforenamed components are a necessity to be part of the urban middle-class culture.

Abstract

The socioeconomic circumstances of a community can be positively impacted by the presence of tourism. The primary goal of advancing the tourism sector in the Borobudur Sub District area is now the growth of Super Priority Temple Tourism. More research is still necessary to fully comprehend the development's socioeconomic effects on the neighborhood. Analyzing the social and economic effects of the Borobudur Temple's high-priority tourism growth on the Borobudur Subdistrict community is the aim of this study. Qualitative research methodologies are used in this study. The Borobudur Sub District is the site of the study. The community, the secretary of the Borobudur Sub-District Head, and the tourism manager of the Borobudur Temple serve as the research's informants. Techniques for gathering data include documentation, interviews, and observation. The Modernization theory of Walt Whitman Rostow was the theory employed in this study. The study's findings demonstrate the favorable social effects of Borobudur Temple's top priority tourism growth, specifically higher levels of education and established collaboration. The economic impact on the community, on the other hand, is a rise in income as a result of more job openings, a wider range of employment options, and the emergence of new business ideas from the community. It is suggested that the expansion of Borobudur Temple as a top tourist destination necessitates coordination with other nearby tourist attractions, such as designing tour packages that simultaneously benefit all of the communities in the Borobudur Sub District. Additionally, the community should make the most of its current opportunities.

Abstract

This study investigates the resilience strategies of rice farmers in Manyaran District, Wonogiri Regency, in adapting to agricultural challenges and diversifying into the horticultural sector. The research is grounded in resilience and adaptation in agricultural systems, emphasizing crop diversification as a strategy to sustain farmer livelihoods amidst environmental and economic pressures. In May and June 2024, the study utilized surveys, observations, structured interviews, and a literature review to collect data. 42 rice-farming households across seven villages in Manyaran District were selected through simple random sampling. The sample comprised middle-aged farmers aged 40–50, With an average age of 45 years, as younger populations often migrate to urban areas, leaving agriculture dominated by this demographic. Descriptive data analysis using simple tabulation was employed to illustrate the conditions of the studied area. The findings reveal that farmers in Manyaran District exhibit strong learning capacities, which enhance their resilience. They adapted by transforming rice fields into horticultural areas and experimenting with various horticultural commodities. Technological flexibility, including the use of social media for acquiring and sharing horticultural knowledge, played a crucial role in their adaptation. Information exchange among farmers further contributed to the sustainability of their livelihoods.  This research highlights the importance of crop diversification as a strategy for farmers to adapt to shifting environmental and economic conditions. The results underscore the adaptability and resilience of Manyaran farmers in sustaining agricultural practices despite ongoing challenges, offering insights for broader agricultural adaptation strategies.

Abstract

Plantations are a vital non-oil and gas sector that contributes to state revenues. However, the potential of plantations in Indonesia has not fully provided welfare for planters due to the complexity of social networks in management and harvesting. This article attempts to describe how social networks are formed in rubber and clove plantations by looking at the context of social structures in society. The focus of the Research on rubber and clove plantations is not to make comparisons but to explore more broadly the forms of social relations in different plantation management systems and commodity types. Data were collected through a qualitative approach using direct observations and interviews with rubber tappers and clove planters. The study results indicate that in managing rubber latex, tappers use sales networks with companies and middlemen, while in clove plantations, harvesting is closely related to the social relations of the community. This situation indicates that the management system and commodity type determine the social ties formed.

Abstract

The extractive political economy chosen by the New Oder since the beginning of its rule has transformed natural resource-rich areas in Indonesia into areas at the heart of global capitalism. In the past, extractive politics began by opening the tap for foreign capital to exploit forests, converting scrubland into monoculture plantations and exploiting coal deposits. At the same time, colonial demographic politics were revived to open up major extractive areas, transforming scrubland from former HPH concessions into agricultural areas, alongside coal mining exploration. Tenggarong Seberang District, East Kalimantan has experienced social reconfiguration many times, from an area with a subsistence production model to a major coal extractive area in Kutai Kartanegara Regency. This article describes how Manunggal Jaya Village, which was previously managed by the local farming community, became a center for transmigrant settlements that successfully transformed the village into a center for Kutai rice farming during the New Order era; and drastically changed into a center for supporting services for the multinational mining industry after regional autonomy. The research was conducted for 2 months involving 3 researchers, 2 research assistants throughout August-October 2024. Primary data was collected through observation and in-depth interviews with 10 key informants. The results of the study found a social reconfiguration of the position and role of transmigrant farmers in Tenggarong Seberang. Transmigrants came from poor areas in East Java, became the dominant social class throughout the 1980s-90s, changed drastically into the most vulnerable marginal class entering the mid-2000s. Agricultural land conversion to mining sites, reduced government support; pressures from companies, village bureaucrats, and land brokers have placed significant burdens on farmers. They face water scarcity, land degradation, pollution, new pests, and psychological stress; discouraging younger generations from farming and leaving remaining farmers to struggle under these challenges.
