Abstract

This article aims to describe women's role in maintaining livelihoods in the tourism sector during the Covid-19 pandemic. The perspectives used are gender, livelihood, and ecotourism. This research location is in Tanjung Bongo Tourism Object and Kupa-Kupa Beach Tourism Object, North Halmahera Regency, Indonesia. The research method used is qualitative. The data collection techniques used were in-depth interviews, observation, and document study. This study's results indicate the role of women in maintaining livelihoods through business in the tourism sector. In the framework of sustainable livelihoods, limited access to capital affects the capability to support a tourism sector's business.

Based on this study's results, gender, livelihood, and ecotourism theoretically support sustainable eco-tourism.

Abstract

This paper highlights the strategies and efforts of Paciran women in the productive sphere. Even though women have played an important role in the economic life of the household, in fact, they still bear double burdens, they are still burdened and given household responsibilities. This is of course caused by the domination of patriarchal culture which is rooted in society. Women are considered as others who have boundaries, norms, and subordination of women to men in their environment. As a result, the strategy for selecting women's jobs that places the house as the main place is a real effort to reduce the domination of patriarchal culture. This research was conducted on women who work in Nguplik in a village in Paciran District, Lamongan Regency, East Java. Nguplik is the work of separating the shells or skins of cooked crabs from the meat to be sold and processed into food and cosmetics. Nguplik is carried out by individuals and or groups of women. This study uses a qualitative method with a gender anthropological approach, with the data collection process using in-depth interviews and observations. The finding of this study is the acceptance of women as workers.

Abstract

Instagram as a new media offering free and global seems to be a means of "escaping" from the real repression received by Saif, Danyal and Alireza as homosexual Muslims, from the social pressures and religious discourse that dominate Iran. This paper is about the analysis of representations by the three, who claim to be homosexual Muslims who grew up in Iran. The representations of the three were analyzed through their own self-photos and profile captions on the instagram account page of @thequeermuslimproject, an online community for Muslim queers, using the multimodal critical discourse analysis (CDA) method put forward by Gunther Kress and Theo Van Leeuwen, which is an analysis method used to analyze text in the form of images and writings. Research becomes interesting when the representations shown are not identical or different from each other despite growing up in the influence or dominance of the same discourse. Researchers summarize it into 3 major discourses found in the representations shown by the three, namely (a) the practice of coming out, (b) the dominance of heteronormatic discourse, and (c) the politics of visibility.

Abstract

Environmental literacy may lead someone to act more responsibly towards the environment. This study aims to analyze gender differences in the environmental literacy of Islamic-based high school students. Although there have been many studies on similar topics, there is not much research found in the perspective of Islamic-based students, where they practice Islamic spiritual values about environmental sustainability. This study uses a quantitative approach using the multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) method to determine the effect of gender differences on students' environmental literacy levels. The sampling technique used is questionnaire distribution to as many as 53 students at a high school in Central Java who are randomly selected. Three dimensions of environmental literacy are analyzed; namely knowledge, attitudes, and pro-environmental behavior. The results of the analysis suggest that the students' literacy level is in a good category, which is at 80.67%. Islamic values that have been attached to students are believed to contribute to the level of environmental literacy of students. Then, the results also indicate those female students have better literacy levels in all dimensions. However, the results of the analysis found there is not enough evidence to suggest that male and female students differ significantly based on environmental literacy.

Abstract

Gender equity is an important target in human development, both at the national and global levels. Gender equity in the higher education context is a crucial issue. This study was aimed at analyzing the gender-based differences in Indonesian higher education graduates. Further, this study also explored the opportunity for women to become university leaders. In this study, a quantitative method was employed by using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) to analyze the gender gap in higher education. This study involved the secondary data taken from the Ministry of Research, Technology, and Higher Education (Kemenristekdikti) in the year 2019. This study revealed that there is no significant difference between men and women graduates from higher education. However, the descriptive data indicates that the number of women graduates is higher than men graduate. Further, the findings of this study also show that the opportunity for women’s college graduates to become university leaders is widely opened, but commonly they find various obstacles in the field.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the problems related to the division of gender roles and the existence of gender awareness in the Buginese tribe community. The research method is qualitative with the research location in Parepare, South Sulawesi Province, Indonesia. Data got through interviews and observations. These data are collected, reduced, and presented as research findings. The findings of this study are the division of gender roles in the Buginese tribe group dealing with the problem of double burdens and stereotypes. The existence of gender awareness in the Buginese tribe community can be seen from participation in education and the economy, representation in positions in the public sphere, and the distribution of roles and responsibilities in the domestic sphere. The existence of gender awareness cannot be separated from the challenges of changing social structures that have the potential to present various problems of stability in family resilience. Therefore, this study suggests the importance of revitalizing the philosophy of life of the Buginese tribe who are pro-gender equality, such as a’bulo sibatang, sipatuo sipatokkong, and sibali perri. In addition, it is necessary to involve men in the domestic sphere to maintain family resilience and maintain the spirit of gender equality for the realization of a prosperous society.

Abstract

  This study challenges the dominant assumption that women in traditional societies are economically dependent, unproductive, and confined to domestic roles. Focusing on the Dayak Moslem women in Tangkahen village, Central Kalimantan, Indonesia, this research aims to reveal a contrasting reality that defies such generalizations. Situated within the broader discourse on gender, labor, and work ethics, the study explores how socio-cultural and religious values influence women’s roles in sustaining family economies. Employing a qualitative phenomenological approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews, prolonged observations, and documentary studies. Findings indicate that the women of Tangkahen perform dual roles—managing household duties while actively participating in income-generating activities such as farming, trading, and rubber tapping—without compromising their domestic responsibilities. These roles are deeply rooted in cultural, spiritual, and economic motivations      and are perceived not as burdens but as expressions of agency and social identity. The study concludes that women's work ethics in traditional societies are contingent upon embedded social norms, religious beliefs, and local gender constructs. Thus, the generalized negative perceptions about women's work ethics in traditional communities are not universally valid and must be reassessed through culturally grounded and context-sensitive inquiry.

Abstract

  The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted the economic stability of informal workers, including motorbike taxi drivers, affecting not only their financial well-being but also their social and psychological resilience. This study examines the role of gender harmony in reinforcing family resilience among motorbike taxi drivers in the Ponorogo Regency during the crisis. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data was collected through in-depth interviews and analyzed within the framework of gender harmony theory. The findings reveal that gender harmony played a crucial role in mitigating economic, social, and psychological challenges. Families that adopted a dual-income model, allowing both spouses to contribute financially, exhibited greater economic resilience. Social resilience was fostered through cooperation in domestic and public roles, enhancing marital satisfaction. Psychological resilience was reinforced by effective communication, mutual support, and religious values that provided coping mechanisms during the crisis. However, gender inequality persisted in some families where women faced a double burden of financial and domestic responsibilities. These findings highlight the importance of gender-responsive strategies in strengthening family resilience amid crises. Future research should explore long-term implications of gender harmony on economic and psychological well-being in post-pandemic recovery.
