This study aims to describe the impact of implementing the Kabupaten Layak Anak (KLA) policy on efforts to protect children in Aceh Barat Regency from various threats of violence. The research employs a descriptive qualitative method. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, then analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model. The findings indicate that the implementation of the Kabupaten Layak Anak (KLA) policy has been highly significant in protecting children from various threats of violence. The presence of the Office for Women's Empowerment, Child Protection, and Family Planning (DP3AKB) in Aceh Barat Regency has greatly facilitated the handling and assistance of cases of violence against children. However, the impact of the implementation of the Kabupaten Layak Anak (KLA) policy on child protection in Aceh Barat Regency remains suboptimal. This is due to the frequent occurrence of violence against children, insufficient socialization of the Kabupaten Layak Anak (KLA) policy in Aceh Barat, limited human resources, inadequate child-friendly school/pesantren and health facilities, the lack of child-friendly information platforms, and the limited availability of child-friendly public spaces.

Homelessness in urban settings is a complex and multifaceted social issue that challenges existing intervention frameworks. This study aims to examine social inclusion programs as instruments for social change, particularly in supporting homeless individuals toward independent and dignified living. The research addresses three central questions: (1) What are the root causes of homelessness? (2) How effective are traditional policy responses? (3) Can inclusive strategies offer sustainable, long-term solutions? This research employs a comparative case study approach in two countries, Indonesia and Malaysia, focusing on five field sites located in Medan and Penang. Using qualitative methods, data were collected through in-depth interviews, focus group discussions, and a documentary review of legal and policy frameworks relevant to homelessness and social protection. Findings indicate that the primary drivers of homelessness include family breakdown, economic destitution, poverty, and a lack of access to social protection systems. In Medan, responses are largely repressive, emphasizing public order enforcement, while in Penang, interventions are more compassionate but often short-term in nature. Neither city demonstrates a strong commitment to empowerment-based or comprehensive reintegration strategies. The study proposes a draft social inclusion framework that emphasizes multi-sectoral collaboration, demand-driven skills training, restoration of social relationships, and expanded access to essential services for urban vulnerable populations. These findings underscore the need to shift from control-oriented and emergency-focused responses toward long-term approaches grounded in empowerment, participation, and social justice.

This study aims to explore how Mandailing cultural symbols are interpreted and practiced within Islamic families, and how these symbols contribute to the development of children’s empathy amid social change. Symbols such as Dalihan Na Tolu, marbagas, and umpasa serve as vehicles for transmitting values of compassion, respect, and social responsibility. Within Mandailing society, where Islamic values such as rahmah and adab coexist with local traditions, families become dialectical spaces for culturally contextualized character education. The research was conducted in Kayu Laut Village, Mandailing Natal Regency, using a qualitative approach with Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) to examine the symbolic meanings embedded in the lived experiences of seven Mandailing Muslim families. Data were collected through indepth interviews, participant observation, and cultural documentation. The findings reveal that symbolic cultural practices function as effective pedagogical tools for internalizing empathy through emotionally and socially rich experiences. Despite the pressures of modernization, families demonstrate active resistance by reconstructing symbolic practices while preserving their core values. This study contributes to the fields of cultural sociology and Islamic character education, and emphasizes the importance of culturally rooted strategies in family-based education. Abstrak Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memahami bagaimana simbol-simbol budaya Mandailing dimaknai dan dipraktikkan dalam keluarga Islam, serta bagaimana simbol tersebut berkontribusi terhadap pembentukan empati anak di tengah perubahan sosial. Simbolsimbol seperti Dalihan Na Tolu, marbagas, dan umpasa berperan sebagai medium internalisasi nilai kasih sayang, penghormatan, dan tanggung jawab sosial. Dalam konteks masyarakat Mandailing yang juga religius, nilai-nilai Islam seperti rahmah dan adab berjalan seiring dengan adat, menciptakan ruang pendidikan karakter yang bersifat dialektis dan kontekstual. Penelitian ini dilakukan di Desa Kayu Laut, Kabupaten Mandailing Natal, dengan pendekatan kualitatif dan metode Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA), untuk menggali makna simbolik dari pengalaman subjektif tujuh keluarga Mandailing Muslim. Data diperoleh melalui wawancara mendalam, observasi partisipatif, dan dokumentasi simbolik budaya. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa praktik simbol budaya menjadi wahana internalisasi empati melalui keterlibatan sosial anak yang emosional dan reflektif. Meskipun modernisasi menghadirkan tantangan, keluarga mampu melakukan resistensi aktif dengan merekonstruksi simbol budaya tanpa menghilangkan nilai intinya. Penelitian ini memberikan kontribusi pada kajian sosiologi dan pendidikan karakter Islam, serta mengusulkan perlunya penguatan pendekatan berbasis budaya dalam strategi pendidikan keluarga.

This study aims to examine the influence of school climate on junior high school students’ attitudes toward bullying in the South Pontianak District, the influence of peer conformity on these attitudes, and the combined effect of both variables. The research employed a quantitative approach using an ex post facto design conducted in public junior high schools throughout the district. The sample comprised 368 students selected through proportional random sampling. Data were collected using a validated and reliable questionnaire. The analysis techniques included descriptive statistics, normality testing, hypothesis testing, and the coefficient of determination. The findings reveal that school climate has a positive and significant influence on students’ anti-bullying attitudes, with a significance value of 0.001 < 0.05. Peer conformity also has a positive and significant influence, with the same significance level. When analyzed simultaneously, school climate and peer conformity significantly influence students’ attitudes, contributing 27.3% to the variance in bullying attitudes as indicated by the adjusted R square value. The remaining 72.7% is attributed to other factors beyond the scope of this study. Abstrak Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji pengaruh iklim sekolah terhadap sikap remaja SMP di Kecamatan Pontianak Selatan terkait perundungan, pengaruh konformitas teman sebaya terhadap sikap remaja terhadap perundungan, serta pengaruh simultan antara iklim sekolah dan konformitas teman sebaya terhadap sikap tersebut. Pendekatan yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah kuantitatif dengan jenis penelitian ex post facto, yang dilaksanakan di SMP Negeri se-Kecamatan Pontianak Selatan. Sampel berjumlah 368 siswa yang dipilih melalui teknik proportional random sampling. Pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui angket yang telah diuji validitas dan reliabilitasnya. Teknik analisis data meliputi analisis deskriptif, uji normalitas, uji hipotesis, dan uji koefisien determinasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa iklim sekolah berpengaruh positif dan signifikan terhadap sikap remaja dalam menolak perundungan, dengan nilai signifikansi 0,001 < 0,05. Konformitas teman sebaya juga memiliki pengaruh positif dan signifikan terhadap sikap remaja terhadap perundungan, dengan nilai signifikansi yang sama. Secara simultan, iklim sekolah dan konformitas teman sebaya memberikan pengaruh signifikan terhadap sikap remaja, dengan nilai adjusted R square sebesar 0,273. Artinya, kedua variabel tersebut berkontribusi sebesar 27,3% terhadap sikap remaja, sementara sisanya dipengaruhi oleh variabel lain di luar penelitian ini.

This study aims to explore students' perceptions and experiences regarding online sexual violence (OSV) at Harapan Mandiri Senior High School in Medan. Employing a qualitative approach with in-depth interviews, the research involved six students and two teachers as key informants. The findings reveal that while most students are familiar with the term OSV, their understanding remains limited and largely shaped by personal experiences or peer observations. Social media platforms such as Instagram, WhatsApp, and TikTok are identified as the most vulnerable spaces for OSV, including inappropriate messages, requests for sexual content, and the non-consensual distribution of images. Although the school has implemented preventive efforts such as seminars and counseling services, students perceive these measures as inconsistent and lacking in depth. Fear of blame, social stigma, and the absence of secure reporting mechanisms have discouraged students from speaking up. This study underscores the need for a comprehensive strategy that includes continuous digital literacy education, psychosocial support, and strengthened communication among students, teachers, and parents. The research offers empirical insights into the realities of OSV among high school students and highlights the urgent need for schools to take a more active and context-sensitive role in protecting students in digital environments. Abstrak Penelitian ini bertujuan mengungkap persepsi dan pengalaman siswa terkait kekerasan seksual daring di SMA Harapan Mandiri Medan. Dengan menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dan teknik wawancara mendalam, penelitian ini melibatkan enam siswa dan dua guru sebagai informan utama. Hasil temuan menunjukkan bahwa sebagian besar siswa telah mengenal istilah kekerasan seksual daring, namun pemahaman tersebut masih bersifat terbatas dan banyak diperoleh melalui pengalaman pribadi maupun pengamatan terhadap lingkungan sekitar. Media sosial seperti Instagram, WhatsApp, dan TikTok diidentifikasi sebagai platform yang paling rentan terhadap perilaku kekerasan seksual daring, termasuk pesan yang tidak pantas, permintaan konten seksual, dan penyebaran gambar tanpa persetujuan. Meskipun sekolah telah melakukan upaya preventif melalui seminar dan layanan konseling, siswa menilai pendekatan tersebut belum konsisten dan belum menyentuh akar persoalan. Rasa takut disalahkan, stigma sosial, dan minimnya mekanisme pelaporan yang aman membuat banyak siswa enggan melapor. Penelitian ini menegaskan pentingnya pendekatan menyeluruh yang mencakup pendidikan digital berkelanjutan, dukungan psikososial, serta penguatan komunikasi antara siswa, guru, dan orang tua. Penelitian ini memberikan gambaran empiris mengenai dinamika kekerasan seksual daring di kalangan pelajar serta menunjukkan perlunya peran aktif sekolah dalam membangun sistem perlindungan yang lebih relevan dan kontekstual dengan kehidupan digital siswa.

The presence of diverse online communities in urban spaces, however, the dynamics of their existence and sustainability remain underexplored. This study aims to address the question: How are the dynamics of the existence of online communities in Indonesia formed and sustained through digital practices? To answer this, a qualitative approach is employed using netnography, a method specifically designed to observe community practices within digital environments. The research involves observations of six Instagram accounts belonging to social communities actively engaged in poverty alleviation issues: @mataharikecil_id, @satoeatap, @sschildsurabaya, @kpajmakassar, @rmhpelangi, and @ytsb_official. The findings reveal that social media, particularly Instagram, plays a significant role in establishing community presence while also attracting public participation through donations and volunteer recruitment. These communities utilize Instagram as a space for symbolic interaction, crafting a credible and emotionally resonant image that fosters public trust. This image is constructed through a combination of visual content, persuasive narratives, informational transparency, and active engagement with audiences. Through these strategies, the communities are able to forge strong digital social relations and expand their networks of solidarity. This study demonstrates that the presence of digital communities is not solely determined by their online visibility, but also by their ability to construct shared meanings with the public as participatory actors. Abstrak Digitalisasi telah mendorong munculnya beragam komunitas online di ruang-ruang urban, namun dinamika eksistensi dan keberlanjutannya masih jarang dikaji secara mendalam. Penelitian ini bertujuan menjawab pertanyaan: bagaimana dinamika eksistensi komunitas online di Indonesia terbentuk dan dipertahankan melalui praktik digital? Untuk itu, studi ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif melalui metode netnografi, yang secara khusus diarahkan untuk mengamati praktik komunitas dalam ruang digital. Observasi dilakukan terhadap enam akun Instagram komunitas sosial yang aktif di isu pengentasan kemiskinan: @mataharikecil_id, @satoeatap, @sschildsurabaya, @kpajmakassar, @rmhpelangi, dan @ytsb_official. Temuan menunjukkan bahwa media sosial, khususnya Instagram berperan signifikan dalam membangun eksistensi komunitas sekaligus menarik partisipasi publik, baik melalui donasi maupun rekrutmen relawan. Komunitas memanfaatkan Instagram sebagai ruang interaksi simbolik untuk membentuk citra yang kredibel dan menyentuh secara emosional, yang pada gilirannya menumbuhkan kepercayaan publik. Citra tersebut dibangun melalui kombinasi konten visual, narasi ajakan, transparansi informasi, serta interaksi aktif dengan audiens. Melalui strategi ini, komunitas mampu menciptakan relasi sosial digital yang kuat dan memperluas jaringan solidaritas. Studi ini memperlihatkan bahwa keberadaan komunitas digital tidak hanya ditentukan oleh kehadiran daring, tetapi juga oleh kemampuan mereka dalam membangun makna bersama dengan publik sebagai aktor partisipatif.

The Sen Jujur tradition is a vital component of marriage rituals among the PALI community in South Sumatra, symbolizing respect, social responsibility, and the legitimization of familial bonds. However, amid the tide of modernization, these symbolic meanings have undergone a significant transformation. This study aims to explore the shifting meanings of Sen Jujur, from a cultural emblem to an instrument of social prestige and economic burden in contemporary society. Using a qualitative ethnographic approach, data were collected through participant observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation involving traditional leaders, youth, and families of marriage participants. The findings reveal that Sen Jujur is no longer perceived solely as an expression of honor, but also as a marker of social status, a reflection of women's educational capital, and a site of social negotiation shaped by stratification, patrilocal kinship systems, and the logic of prestige. The study also highlights the practices of Mokon and wedding handshakes (salaman pengantin) as forms of symbolic reciprocity embedded in social exchange systems, as explained in Mauss’ theory of The Gift. Rather than being a static tradition, Sen Jujur emerges as a dynamic interpretive space continuously negotiated by its actors. This study contributes conceptually to understanding how local traditions adapt, commodify, and respond to social pressures in modern life, while offering a critical reflection on culturally contextualized and sustainable strategies for heritage preservation. Abstrak Tradisi Sen Jujur merupakan elemen penting dalam prosesi perkawinan masyarakat Pali, Sumatera Selatan, yang mencerminkan nilai penghormatan, tanggung jawab sosial, serta legitimasi hubungan antar keluarga. Namun, di tengah dinamika modernisasi, makna simbolik tersebut mengalami transformasi signifikan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengungkap pergeseran makna Sen Jujur dari simbol adat menuju instrumen prestise sosial dan beban ekonomi dalam masyarakat kontemporer. Melalui pendekatan kualitatif etnografis, data dikumpulkan melalui observasi partisipatif, wawancara mendalam, dan dokumentasi terhadap tokoh adat, generasi muda, dan keluarga pengantin. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Sen Jujur tidak lagi dimaknai tunggal sebagai bentuk penghormatan, tetapi juga sebagai alat afirmasi status, simbol kapitalisasi pendidikan perempuan, bahkan arena negosiasi sosial yang dipengaruhi oleh stratifikasi, sistem kekerabatan patrilokal, dan logika gengsi. Temuan juga menyoroti praktik Mokon dan salaman pengantin sebagai bagian dari sistem pertukaran sosial yang sarat makna dan kewajiban timbal balik, sebagaimana dijelaskan dalam teori The Gift (Mauss). Tradisi ini, alih-alih statis, justru menjadi ruang tafsir baru yang terus dinegosiasikan. Studi ini memberikan kontribusi konseptual dalam memahami bagaimana budaya lokal mengalami adaptasi, komodifikasi, serta tekanan struktur sosial dalam kehidupan modern, sekaligus menawarkan refleksi kritis atas strategi pelestarian adat yang lebih kontekstual dan berkelanjutan.

The process of reproductive health knowledge socialization among students at SDN 051 Bengkulu Utara, located in Enggano Island, one of the outermost regions of Bengkulu Province, Indonesia, faces limited access to information, healthcare services, and formal education. A qualitative approach with a case study design was employed. The informants consisted of 35 students from grades I to III and three teachers, selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, focus group discussions (FGDs), and document analysis, and were analyzed using data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing techniques. The findings reveal that, before the intervention, students had minimal understanding of basic reproductive health concepts. This limited knowledge was attributed to the lack of structured reproductive health education in schools, cultural taboos that discourage open discussion of reproductive topics, and limited parental involvement. Students were unable to identify private body parts accurately, distinguish between appropriate and inappropriate touch, or describe proper hygiene practices. After participating in an interactive and age-appropriate socialization program that included videos, educational songs, and practical demonstrations, students showed significant improvement in cognitive, affective, and psychomotor domains. This study highlights the urgent need for comprehensive reproductive health education at the primary school level, particularly in underserved and remote areas such as Enggano Island. Sustainable educational programs involving teachers, parents, and healthcare workers are essential to build a safe and informed environment for children. The findings provide a foundation for the development of targeted policies and educational interventions aimed at preventing early marriage, reducing sexual violence, and improving children's overall well-being. Abstrak Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menggambarkan proses sosialisasi pengetahuan kesehatan reproduksi pada siswa SDN 051 Bengkulu Utara. Sekolah ini terletak di Pulau Enggano, wilayah terluar Provinsi Bengkulu yang mengalami keterbatasan akses terhadap informasi, layanan kesehatan, dan pendidikan. Pendekatan penelitian yang digunakan adalah kualitatif dengan desain studi kasus. Informan terdiri dari 35 siswa kelas I hingga III dan tiga guru yang dipilih secara purposif. Data dikumpulkan melalui observasi, wawancara, Focus Group Discussion (FGD), dan dokumentasi. Analisis data dilakukan dengan tahapan reduksi, penyajian, dan penarikan kesimpulan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sebelum kegiatan sosialisasi dilakukan, mayoritas siswa memiliki pengetahuan yang sangat terbatas mengenai kesehatan reproduksi. Keterbatasan ini disebabkan oleh minimnya edukasi dari lingkungan keluarga, stigma budaya yang menganggap pembahasan topik reproduksi sebagai hal tabu, serta belum adanya program pendidikan kesehatan reproduksi yang terstruktur di sekolah. Anak-anak belum mampu mengenali bagian tubuh pribadi, belum memahami pentingnya menjaga kebersihan alat reproduksi, dan tidak mengetahui batasan sentuhan yang aman dan tidak aman. Setelah sosialisasi dilakukan dengan pendekatan interaktif melalui media video, lagu edukatif, dan praktik langsung, terjadi peningkatan signifikan dalam aspek pengetahuan kognitif, sikap afektif, dan keterampilan psikomotorik. Penelitian ini menegaskan bahwa pendidikan kesehatan reproduksi perlu diberikan sejak usia dini, terutama di wilayah dengan keterbatasan akses seperti Pulau Enggano. Program edukasi yang kontekstual, berkelanjutan, dan melibatkan peran aktif guru, orang tua, serta tenaga kesehatan sangat diperlukan untuk membentuk pemahaman dasar anak dalam menjaga diri dan mencegah risiko seperti kekerasan seksual dan pernikahan dini. Temuan ini diharapkan menjadi dasar perumusan kebijakan dan intervensi pendidikan yang lebih tepat sasaran.

Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) is a vital mode of transportation for urban communities. This study aims to determine the perceptions of TransJakarta, TransJogja, and Batik Trans Solo service users. The theory used to analyze is the risk society put forward by Ulrich Beck. The research method employed is a mixed-methods approach, involving the distribution of questionnaires to bus users, either in printed or online (Google Form) format, as well as conducting observations and interviews with respondents representing various categories. The results of the study showed that the perceptions that emerged related to the use of BRT include comfort, security, easy payment with various methods, route or lane coverage, large bus capacity, and a definite bus frequency or schedule. In its development, public transportation needs to innovate in order to attract users. Some innovations that can be done include repairing and comforting bus stops, improving the quality of the bus fleet, adding routes, making facilities friendly to the disabled, increasing operational hours at night, sterilizing BRT lanes, improving the BRT lane information system in real-time, adding fleets to shorten waiting times, and increasing the friendliness and caution of drivers in driving the fleet. BRT users are part of a society at risk related to the use of technology in driving, the emergence of congestion, accidents, and environmental pollution. This is done to minimize the risks caused by technology by innovating and prioritizing safety for all parties, both drivers and users.

Simulasi Realitas: Phubbing dan Hiperrealitas Pada Generasi Z di Kota Banda Aceh Marini Kristina Situmeang; Mentari Mentari; Mawaddah Mawaddah

This study was conducted to examine the phenomena of phubbing and hyperreality among Generation Z in Banda Aceh, a region with a strong collectivist and religious cultural background. Phubbing, defined as the act of ignoring direct social interactions in favor of engaging with digital devices, was analyzed through the lens of Jean Baudrillard’s theory of hyperreality, which describes the collapse of boundaries between the real and the simulated in postmodern society. A qualitative phenomenological approach was employed to investigate the subjective experiences of individuals aged 18–25. Data were collected through semi-structured in-depth interviews, limited field observations in various social settings (e.g., campuses, cafés, libraries, sports areas, and public spaces), and documentation (field notes and recorded interviews). The data were analyzed using phenomenological thematic analysis and primary data triangulation. The findings revealed that phubbing and hyperreality reflected a significant shift from authentic social reality to a digitally constructed one. Interpersonal relationships and identity formations were increasingly mediated by simulation, including curated social media content and the pursuit of digital validation. These changes were found to contribute to the erosion of face-to-face communication, social alienation, identity disorientation, and the normalization of antisocial behavior. Additionally, fluid and alternative identities were formed through digital self-representations rather than through traditional social interaction. Within Banda Aceh’s collectivist cultural context, the emergence of phubbing among Generation Z indicated a value conflict between traditional norms of direct engagement and the virtual connectivity offered by digital culture. These findings underscore the need for critical digital literacy, intergenerational dialogue, and the development of balanced digital engagement practices to support healthier social realities for young people in culturally rooted societies. Abstrak Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mengkaji fenomena phubbing dan hiperrealitas di kalangan Generasi Z di Kota Banda Aceh, sebuah wilayah yang dikenal memiliki latar budaya kolektif dan religius yang kuat. Phubbing adalah perilaku yang mengabaikan interaksi sosial langsung demi keterlibatan dengan perangkat digital. Penelitian ini dianalisis menggunakan teori hiperrealitas Jean Baudrillard yang menggambarkan kaburnya batas antara kenyataan dan simulasi dalam masyarakat postmodern. Pendekatan kualitatif fenomenologis digunakan untuk menggali pengalaman subjektif individu berusia 18–25 tahun. Data dikumpulkan melalui wawancara mendalam semi-terstruktur, observasi terbatas di berbagai ruang interaksi sosial (seperti kampus, kafe, perpustakaan, lapangan olahraga, dan ruang publik lainnya), serta dokumentasi berupa catatan lapangan dan rekaman wawancara. Analisis data dilakukan dengan pendekatan tematik fenomenologis dan triangulasi data primer. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa phubbing dan hiperrealitas mencerminkan pergeseran dari realitas sosial yang otentik menuju realitas yang dikonstruksi secara digital. Relasi sosial dan pembentukan identitas semakin dimediasi oleh simulasi, seperti citra yang dikurasi di media sosial dan pencarian validasi digital. Kondisi ini berdampak pada penurunan kualitas komunikasi tatap muka, alienasi sosial, disorientasi identitas, serta normalisasi perilaku asosial. Selain itu, ditemukan terbentuknya identitas alternatif yang cair, yang lebih dibangun melalui representasi digital daripada proses interaksi sosial secara langsung. Dalam konteks budaya kolektif Banda Aceh, munculnya fenomena phubbing di kalangan Generasi Z mencerminkan adanya benturan nilai antara norma interaksi langsung dengan konektivitas virtual yang ditawarkan budaya digital. Temuan ini menekankan pentingnya literasi digital yang kritis, dialog antar generasi, serta pengembangan praktik keterlibatan digital yang seimbang guna mendukung kehidupan sosial yang lebih sehat bagi generasi muda di masyarakat berbasis budaya.
