Abstract

Migration plays a vital role in shaping urban growth and cultural diversity in Indonesia, with Makassar becoming a key destination for internal migrants from Eastern regions. This study explores migrant experiences in adapting to new social, cultural, and economic contexts, emphasizing opportunities and challenges in urban integration. Migration is viewed not merely as physical relocation but as an ongoing negotiation of identity and belonging. Using a qualitative descriptive method with purposive sampling, the study involved 40 respondents, including students, workers, and families. Data were collected through interviews, focus group discussions, observation, and document analysis, then analyzed thematically to identify integration patterns in education, employment, housing, and social life. Results show most migrants are aged 18–35, with balanced gender representation. Education and employment are key to successful adaptation, as migrants with higher education and formal jobs integrate more easily. However, housing remains problematic, with many relying on temporary residences. Social participation levels are moderate to high, though 15% of respondents face cultural or structural barriers. Overall, Makassar exhibits strong potential as an inclusive urban hub, where community openness and cultural adaptability promote integration, yet improved housing and equitable policy support are essential for sustainable cohesion.

Abstract

In the past two decades, social media has become a dominant arena influencing public opinion, political discourse, and civic engagement, especially among younger generations. In Indonesia, with over 200 million internet users, millennials are the most active in using social media for both entertainment and participation in civic life. This study explores how social media influences civic engagement among Indonesian millennials, emphasizing how online activities foster awareness, activism, and offline involvement. Using a mixed-methods approach, the research combines surveys of 250 millennials from major cities with qualitative interviews. Findings reveal that Instagram (82%), TikTok (76%), and Twitter (65%) are the most utilized platforms for civic expression. Popular online actions include hashtag campaigns (75%), petitions (68%), and crowdfunding (60%), though conversion into offline engagement remains moderate. Key obstacles are misinformation (72%), superficial participation (58%), and harassment (45%). However, frequent civic use of social media correlates positively with volunteering and protests. Overall, social media both democratizes access to civic participation and enhances political awareness, yet risks shallow engagement and polarization.

Abstract

Urbanization stands as a defining global trend of the 21st century, offering both prosperity and disparity for metropolitan regions. The Jakarta Metropolitan Area (Jabodetabek), home to over 30 million residents, exemplifies rapid urban growth in Southeast Asia. While economic expansion and infrastructural progress have advanced, deep social inequalities persist in housing, employment, education, health, and environmental security. Using a mixed-methods approach, this study integrates quantitative data from Statistics Indonesia, institutional reports, and GIS mapping with qualitative insights from interviews, focus group discussions, and field observations. The findings reveal entrenched structural inequalities. Migration flows dominated by low-skilled workers increase labor precarity, while 30% of households remain in informal settlements lacking adequate services. Income disparities between formal and informal sectors persist, and access to education and healthcare remains stratified by class. Moreover, modernization projects often displace vulnerable populations, worsening environmental risks for the poor. Ultimately, Jakarta’s urbanization functions as both an engine of modernization and a generator of inequality. Addressing these challenges demands inclusive urban governance that emphasizes equitable housing, sustainable planning, and social justice to ensure balanced development and fair distribution of urban prosperity across all social strata.

Abstract

Urbanization in Bandung has reduced the availability of green spaces, creating concerns about residents’ well-being and mental health. Parks, urban forests, and riverside areas serve not only as ecological buffers but also as vital spaces for social interaction and psychological restoration. This study explores how green space use relates to mental health among Bandung residents through a mixed-methods approach. Surveys of 350 respondents measured visit frequency, accessibility, and perceived well-being, while interviews and spatial mapping provided deeper contextual understanding. The findings show that over half of residents visit green areas weekly and one-fifth daily, reporting benefits such as improved mood, reduced stress, and greater emotional resilience. Green spaces also strengthen community ties by fostering social interactions. However, issues such as overcrowding, inadequate facilities, and poor maintenance reduce accessibility and satisfaction, while safety concerns limit nighttime use. Overall, urban green spaces play a crucial role in supporting mental health and social cohesion. Enhancing accessibility and management is essential for sustainable and inclusive urban living.

Abstract

In the digital era, social movements increasingly take place on online platforms where hashtags function as tools for mobilization, identity, and solidarity. This study explores how hashtags encourage collective action among Indonesian netizens by examining participation patterns, perceived impacts, and barriers to digital activism. Using a mixed-method design, data were gathered from a survey of 400 respondents across Indonesia and supported by digital content observation and case studies. Results show that youth aged 21–30 and students are the most active participants, mainly using Twitter and Instagram. Most engage weekly, and sharing or reposting hashtags is the dominant form of participation, while offline involvement remains limited. Hashtags are considered highly effective in promoting awareness and unity but less influential in shaping policy outcomes. Challenges include short-lived attention, misinformation, and online harassment. The findings highlight that hashtag activism in Indonesia strengthens collective consciousness yet struggles to achieve structural change, emphasizing the need to integrate digital advocacy with community-based and offline initiatives for sustainable impact.

Abstract

Urban informal settlements remain one of the most pressing challenges for rapidly growing cities in the Global South, where the expansion of population is not always matched by equitable access to essential services. This study examines the conditions of informal settlements in Surabaya, Indonesia, focusing on how residents access basic public services such as water, sanitation, health care, education, and transportation. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining household surveys, in-depth interviews, and spatial mapping to capture both quantitative and qualitative dimensions of service provision. The findings reveal persistent inequalities: while electricity and basic education are relatively more accessible due to government programs, services such as clean water, sanitation, and affordable health care remain limited and unevenly distributed. Spatial analysis further shows that most public facilities are concentrated in formal neighborhoods, forcing informal settlement residents to rely on costly or unsafe alternatives. Households also bear a disproportionately high financial burden, as a large share of their income is spent on transportation and education, reinforcing cycles of poverty. Despite these constraints, communities demonstrate resilience through collective strategies, including neighborhood cooperation and partnerships with NGOs, although these measures remain insufficient to address structural exclusion. The study underscores the importance of inclusive urban governance that recognizes informal settlements as integral to the city, calling for targeted investments and policies that promote equity in service delivery.

Abstract

The rapid growth of Korean popular culture, especially K-pop, has transformed global youth culture and reshaped identity formation across national borders. In Indonesia, teenagers represent one of the most active groups of K-pop consumers, engaging not only with music but also with diverse fandom practices that encourage cross-cultural interaction. This study explores the influence of K-pop fandom on the cross-cultural social identity of Indonesian teenagers and views fandom as both a cultural space and a social arena. A qualitative descriptive case study design was employed to capture teenagers’ lived experiences within fandom communities. Data were gathered through semi-structured interviews, participant observation in online and offline fan spaces, and analysis of fan-produced documents. Purposive sampling was applied to select active teenage fans with variation in gender, education, and length of participation. Thematic analysis identified patterns of cultural adaptation, social belonging, and identity construction. The findings show that fandom shapes cultural interests through language learning, adoption of practices, and intercultural awareness. Socially, it strengthens belonging, loyalty, self-expression, and peer networks. However, financial pressure, stereotypes, parental conflict, and competition also arise for many teenagers.

Abstract

Climate change poses a significant threat to Indonesia’s coastal communities as rising sea levels, coastal flooding, saltwater intrusion, and declining marine resources disrupt livelihoods and settlement security. Coastal villages in Java, characterized by dense populations and dependence on fisheries and agriculture, provide an important setting to understand local adaptive strategies. This study examines how these communities respond to climate pressures by integrating traditional knowledge, socio-cultural resilience, and institutional support. A qualitative case study design was combined with descriptive surveys involving 420 respondents in four villages. Data collection included semi-structured interviews, focus group discussions, household surveys, and field observations. Thematic analysis was used to interpret qualitative insights, while descriptive statistics illustrated major adaptation trends. Findings indicate that climate impacts are predominantly experienced through coastal flooding (72%), reduced fish catches (68%), and saltwater intrusion (61%). Common adaptation practices include mangrove planting (70%), adjusting fishing seasons (62%), and elevating houses (55%). Support from government and NGOs is visible in mangrove rehabilitation (65%) and preparedness training (58%), yet remains limited in financial assistance (40%) and access to climate information (45%). Overall, communities exhibit resilience rooted in solidarity and local wisdom, but adaptation is still hindered by economic constraints and insufficient long-term institutional support.

Abstract

This study investigates the changing nature of kinship and family structures in urban Africa, focusing on the influence of urbanization, migration, and globalization on traditional family arrangements. The research aims to explore how these factors contribute to the redefinition of family and kinship in urban African settings. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews across four major African cities: Lagos, Nairobi, Johannesburg, and Accra. The results reveal a shift from traditional extended family systems to more nuclear family structures, with non-biological kin increasingly recognized as integral to family life. Migration plays a significant role in this transformation, as individuals maintain kinship bonds through remittances and digital communication despite geographical separation. Gender roles within the family also show signs of transformation, with men becoming more involved in caregiving and domestic duties in urban areas. These findings contribute to the understanding of kinship in urban Africa, emphasizing the flexibility and adaptability of family structures in response to modern socio-economic pressures. The study calls for policies that recognize the diversity of family forms and promote gender equality in caregiving roles. Further research is needed to explore the long-term socio-economic effects of these changes, particularly regarding migration and non-biological kin.

Abstract

This study investigates the use of slang as a tool for social identity construction among young adults in urban Brazil. The research aims to understand how slang functions within social groups, regional identities, and socio-economic contexts. Using ethnographic fieldwork and in-depth interviews with young adults from São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, and Salvador, the study analyzes how slang is employed to signal group membership, assert regional pride, and negotiate social class distinctions. The findings show that slang serves as a marker of both inclusion and exclusion, reinforcing social boundaries. Regional variations in slang use reflect cultural differences between cities, while socio-economic factors influence how frequently and selectively slang is used. Gender also plays a role, with male participants using slang to assert masculinity, and females using it more relationally. Slang is further used as a form of resistance, particularly among marginalized groups, challenging mainstream cultural norms. This research contributes to the understanding of language as a key element in identity formation and social dynamics. It also offers new insights into how linguistic practices, such as slang, reflect the socio-cultural fabric of urban Brazil. Future research could examine the role of digital media in the evolution of slang and its influence on youth identities in the globalized world.
