<![CDATA[Social inequality and economic disparity are still deep-rooted structural problems in the lives of Indonesian society. Although various empowerment programs have been launched by local governments, many of them are symbolic and technocratic, and fail to touch the roots of social injustice. This study aims to analyze social intervention strategies in community empowerment programs through a critical sociological approach. Using a literature study method with a qualitative approach, this study examines key theories such as power relations (Foucault), symbolic power (Bourdieu), capability approach (Sen and Nussbaum), and participatory parity (Fraser). The results of the analysis show that the dominance of power in the planning and implementation of empowerment programs often ignores the local socio-cultural context and narrows the space for citizen participation. Empowerment, which should be transformative, has instead become a tool for legitimizing elite, top-down policies. Therefore, the integration of substantive capability and participatory approaches in local policies is needed to dismantle structural inequality and build democratic, just, and inclusive governance. This study emphasizes the importance of reorienting the empowerment paradigm from merely administrative to social transformation that favors marginalized groups and expands the real freedom of society. ]]>

<![CDATA[This study examines the integration of local wisdom values with digital technology in empowering tourist village communities in Bone Regency, South Sulawesi. Bone Regency has strong cultural values such as siri' na pacce which are the foundation of collective identity, but tourism village development policies are still uniform and do not accommodate local cultural characteristics. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection through interviews, participatory observation, and documentation in several tourist villages. Thematic analysis was conducted to understand the dynamics of the meaning of local values, technology adaptation, and community participation. The results of the study indicate tension between cultural preservation and the demands of modern digitalization. Village communities adopt technology selectively with the important role of traditional leaders as curators of cultural content. Social media is an effective means of promoting and expressing cultural identity, but low digital access and literacy are obstacles. The study emphasizes the need for an inclusive and participatory digital empowerment approach, involving all community actors to make technology an instrument for preserving and strengthening culture while encouraging sustainable socio-economic transformation of tourist villages. This model is expected to bridge tradition and modernity harmoniously in the context of local tourism development.]]>

<![CDATA[Digital transformation in government has opened up new opportunities to strengthen public participation in the policy formulation process. Through various digital platforms such as e-government and social media, interactions between the state and citizens have become more open, fast, and participatory. However, digitalization is not without challenges. Infrastructure gaps, digital literacy, and the tendency towards participatory symbolism (tokenism) have the potential to create new exclusions in the practice of digital democracy. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with a literature study method to evaluate the extent to which digital governance is able to encourage substantive public participation. The results of the study show that the success of digital democracy is not enough just by providing technology, but requires institutional reform and ethical-political commitment to create a fair and inclusive deliberative space. Within the framework of deliberative democracy, citizen participation must be positioned as an integral element that influences the substance of policy, not just a procedural formality. These findings emphasize the need for policy strategies that are not only technocratic, but also sensitive to socio-political dimensions, including the redistribution of power, increasing digital-political literacy, and ensuring the involvement of marginalized communities. Thus, digitalization in government will only be meaningful if it is able to bridge the participation gap and encourage democratic practices that are more inclusive, deliberative, and have a real impact on the public.]]>

<![CDATA[Inequality in access to education in Indonesia remains a serious challenge, particularly for marginalized groups such as children from poor families, people with disabilities, and indigenous communities. Although the national legal framework guarantees the right to education, the reality on the ground shows that various structural and cultural barriers still hinder the creation of substantial educational equity. This research uses a qualitative approach with a case study method at an inclusive public school in a rural area to explore the implementation of social inclusion in the local context. Data were obtained through interviews, observations, and documentation studies, then analyzed thematically to uncover the dynamics of marginalized student participation, teacher readiness, and local community support. The results show that despite the commitment to inclusion, its implementation is still hampered by minimal teacher training, a lack of disability-friendly infrastructure, and the dominance of homogenous values in the learning system. However, the involvement of local actors and the use of a community-based approach have proven effective in strengthening the application of inclusive principles contextually. This research emphasizes that social inclusion is not merely an administrative effort but requires comprehensive structural and cultural changes. Therefore, a transformative and human rights-based education strategy is needed to realize an education system that is equitable, participatory, and truly respects diversity.]]>

<![CDATA[The development of empathy and self-regulation in elementary school students is a major urgency in responding to the socio-emotional challenges of contemporary education. This study aims to explore the integration of Augmented Reality (AR) based on Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) as a transformative approach in shaping students' emotional skills. Using a qualitative method with a case study design, this study involved fourth-fifth grade students, teachers, and parents through observation techniques, semi-structured interviews, documentation, and exploratory questionnaires. The results show that the application of AR with interactive socio-emotional scenarios can stimulate empathy, increase self-awareness, and develop emotional regulation strategies through immersive experiences. AR acts as an affective medium that strengthens reflective and embodied learning, enabling students to experience and understand emotional dynamics in complex social situations. This study confirms that the effectiveness of AR-SEL learning is highly dependent on the quality of instructional design and teacher competence in facilitating socio-emotional values digitally. Therefore, support for educators' digital-affective literacy and the integration of a character-oriented curriculum are essential prerequisites. These findings conclude that the AR-SEL learning model has great potential to integrate cognitive and affective dimensions simultaneously in basic education. ]]>

<![CDATA[ Guided by Presidential Instruction Number 3 of 2003 concerning National Policies and Strategies for E-Government Development, in 2018 the Jombang Regency Inspectorate launched the Supervisory Results System (SRS) application. SRS is an information technology-based system designed to facilitate the integrated recording, reporting, and monitoring of follow-up monitoring results, so as to speed up the data-based decision-making process that is more accurate and transparent. This application is used to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of supervision of various aspects of operations, compliance, and internal control. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the implementation of SRS applications in optimizing supervision at the Jombang Regency Inspectorate and identify the factors that cause the ineffective implementation of SRS and describe the efforts that have been made to overcome it. The research method uses a qualitative descriptive approach. Data collection techniques were carried out by interviews, observations, and documentation studies related to the implementation of SRS. The resource persons from this study are auditors and PPUPD. The results show that the use of SRS applications has had a positive impact on increasing transparency, accuracy, and speed of reporting supervision results. The SRS application is designed as a tool to increase the effectiveness and efficiency of the supervision process on the performance of local governments. The factors that cause the ineffective implementation of SRS are the limitation of human resources in mastering technology, managers are only good in terms of operations, while in terms of software development, obstacles in handling/security of cyber attacks, network management still cannot be done independently. The SRS application is still intranet-based so auditees cannot access anywhere and anytime. Therefore, it is necessary to increase the capacity of human resources by conducting digital training and strengthening infrastructure to support the implementation of applications more effectively. This research is expected to provide recommendations for the Jombang Regency Inspectorate in optimizing the use of SRS applications to improve the quality of supervision.]]>

<![CDATA[This study explores the phenomenon of flexing as a status representation strategy in the digital visual economy, particularly on the Instagram platform. Flexing, or the practice of visually showcasing a luxurious lifestyle, is understood not simply as personal expression, but as part of the logic of affective and algorithmic capitalism that shapes the digital habitus of contemporary society. In this context, self-image becomes a symbolic commodity exchanged for visibility and social validation, creating performative pressures that are both emotional and structural. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach through netnographic observation and semi-structured interviews to uncover how millennials and Gen Z individuals engineer their lifestyle images as a form of aesthetic and affective labor. The analysis shows that flexing blurs the boundaries between reality and illusion, reproducing inequality through commodified visual aesthetics. Within this dynamic, flexing can be read as a form of co-optation of neoliberal ideology, but also as a symbolic strategy for negotiating social position within an exclusionary structure. This research emphasizes that digital social pleasure is not a neutral space, but rather an arena filled with power relations, algorithmic pressures, and fantasies of meritocracy. Thus, fake lifestyles on social media are a structural symptom of the crisis of representation and the pressures of performativity in the contemporary digital economy.]]>

<![CDATA[The phenomenon of quiet quitting describes a phenomenon where employees only fulfill tasks according to job descriptions without taking further initiative, as a response to changes in social values and expectations of the workplace. This study explores the phenomenon of quiet quitting in the context of changes in the professional ethos of Generation Z with a sociological approach. The results of the study indicate that quiet quitting is not only related to burnout or exhaustion, but also a reflection of the mismatch between employee expectations and work reality. Generation Z prioritizes work-life balance, mental health, flexibility, and inclusivity, which is in contrast to a work culture that prioritizes excessive hard work. In this context, alienation theory suggests that lack of recognition, control, and meaning in work can trigger quiet quitting behavior. This study proposes that organizations need to adjust their policies and leadership styles to create a work environment that is more supportive of employee well-being and engagement, which in turn will improve performance and loyalty to the company]]>

<![CDATA[The transformation of local cultural values in the lives of young people is becoming an increasingly relevant issue in the midst of rapid globalization and accelerated urbanization. This article aims to examine how these two major forces affect the understanding, appreciation, and practice of local cultural values among the younger generation. Globalization brings popular culture, information technology and transnational lifestyles that often conflict with traditional values such as collectivity, respect for customs and emotional attachment to local communities. Meanwhile, urbanization creates a social environment that tends to be anonymous, competitive and pragmatic, thus diminishing the role of traditional social environments as guardians of cultural values. Through an in-depth literature study, this article finds that young people in various parts of Indonesia experience a complex process of cultural identity negotiation. On the one hand, they are exposed to modern values that promise progress and social mobility, but on the other hand, they still have cultural ties inherited by family and community. This transformation process is not linear, but rather shows a pattern of selective adaptation that can open up opportunities for the revitalization of local culture in a new format that is more contextual and relevant. With a reflective and participatory approach, education based on local culture and digital media can be an important tool in bridging traditional values with the dynamics of modern life of the younger generation]]>
