Abstract

The rapid urbanization of Jakarta has led to increasing cases of forced evictions as part of urban development projects, often resulting in significant social and economic displacement for marginalized communities. Despite legal frameworks aimed at protecting the rights of these residents, forced evictions remain a persistent issue, raising concerns about social justice and inequality in urban planning. This research aims to explore the sociological dimensions of forced evictions in Jakarta, focusing on the experiences of displaced communities and their forms of resistance. Using a mixed-methods approach, this study combines qualitative interviews with affected residents and key stakeholders, along with an analysis of official documents and reports from NGOs. The findings reveal that forced evictions are often justified by development agendas that prioritize economic growth over the rights of local residents, exacerbating social inequalities. Furthermore, community resistance takes diverse forms, including legal battles, protests, and informal negotiations with local authorities. This study concludes that urban development in Jakarta often neglects the principles of social justice, with significant implications for the future of inclusive urban planning. It calls for more equitable development policies that prioritize the rights of displaced communities and ensure their participation in the decision-making process.

Abstract

Environmental justice has become a central issue in the global discourse on sustainability, particularly in the context of industrial pollution. Civil society organizations (CSOs) play a pivotal role in advocating for the rights of affected communities, ensuring that the voices of marginalized populations are heard. Despite their significant contributions, the effectiveness of CSOs in promoting environmental justice remains underexplored. This research investigates the role of CSOs in advocating for environmental justice, specifically in cases of industrial pollution, examining their strategies, challenges, and impact on policy change. The study employs a qualitative research design, utilizing in-depth interviews with key stakeholders from selected CSOs, community members, and policymakers. It also involves case study analysis of prominent instances of industrial pollution and CSO involvement in both mitigating the effects and demanding accountability. The findings reveal that CSOs significantly contribute to raising awareness, mobilizing communities, and holding industries accountable for environmental damage. However, challenges such as limited resources, political opposition, and legal barriers hinder their advocacy efforts. The study concludes that while CSOs play a crucial role in environmental justice advocacy, their success is contingent upon strengthening partnerships, increasing access to resources, and fostering greater political will for environmental protection.

Abstract

Indonesia’s decentralization and regional autonomy reforms, implemented in the early 2000s, aimed to enhance local governance and improve public services. However, these reforms have led to varying outcomes across Indonesia's provinces, with significant disparities in the quality and accessibility of public services. This study investigates how decentralization has influenced public service delivery and governance challenges in different regions, highlighting the uneven impacts of these reforms. This research aims to analyze the disparities in public service delivery across Indonesian provinces and the governance challenges resulting from the decentralization process. The study seeks to understand the factors contributing to these disparities and their implications for regional development and equity in public service provision. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining quantitative data analysis from national and regional reports with qualitative interviews with local government officials and community leaders. The study examines key indicators of public service performance, such as healthcare, education, and infrastructure, across various provinces. The study reveals significant disparities in public service delivery, with wealthier and more urbanized provinces exhibiting better outcomes. Meanwhile, poorer and more remote regions face challenges in governance capacity and resource allocation, leading to uneven public service provision. The decentralization process in Indonesia has had mixed results, with regional autonomy contributing to greater governance flexibility but also deepening disparities in public service quality. Further reforms are necessary to address these inequities and strengthen local governance capabilities.
