Abstract

Despite continuous improvements in the Human Development Index (HDI), Indonesia’s poverty rate remained relatively high at 8.57 percent in 2024, indicating persistent structural challenges. This indicates a critical gap in variables determining poverty in Indonesia. This study aims to analyse the determinants of poverty across Indonesian provinces by examining both indirect and direct transmission mechanisms. The study employs a quantitative explanatory design using a two stage recursive panel data model that integrates regional financial effectiveness, regional financial efficiency, provincial minimum wages, HDI, and domestic investment. Secondary data are obtained from the Directorate General of Fiscal Balance (DJPK), Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Indonesia, and Statistics Indonesia (BPS), covering 34 provinces over the 2018 to 2024 period with 238 observations. A balanced panel dataset is estimated using panel data techniques, and the Fixed Effects model is selected based on the Hausman test. The results show that regional financial effectiveness and provincial minimum wages positively affect HDI, while fiscal inefficiency reduces human development. HDI significantly reduces poverty, confirming its mediating role, whereas domestic investment has a direct negative effect on poverty. These findings highlight the importance of coordinated fiscal and investment policies to accelerate poverty reduction

Abstract

 Kriminalitas pencurian di Indonesia merupakan isu multidimensi yang tidak hanya merugikan secara materi, tetapi mengancam stabilitas pembangunan dan kohesi sosial. Tingginya angka pencurian yang fluktuatif dalam beberapa tahun terakhir mencerminkan kerentanan struktural yang membutuhkan pemahaman mendalam tentang faktor-faktor pendorongnya yang melampaui pertimbangan-pertimbangan yang bersifat rasional. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis faktor-faktor pendorong kriminalitas pencurian, khususnya pengaruh kemiskinan, kerentanan bencana, kepadatan penduduk, dan tingkat pendidikan dengan mempertimbangkan persistensi dan endogenitas. Penelitian ini menggunakan data sekunder yang bersumber dari Badan Pusat Statistik (BPS) pada 34 provinsi periode 2016-2023. Metode analisis yang digunakan adalah data panel dinamis dengan pendekatan First Difference Generalized Method of Moments (FD-GMM). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kriminalitas pencurian bersifat persisten, dengan kemiskinan, kepadatan penduduk, dan tingkat pendidikan berpengaruh positif ignifikan, sedangkan kerusakan rumah akibat bencana tidak signifikan. Kebaruan penelitian terletak pada pengungkapan paradoks pendidikan, di mana peningkatan lama sekolah justru meningkatkan risiko pencurian akibat ketidakterserapan tenaga kerja terdidik. Implikasi kebijakan mencakup penguatan program pengentasan kemiskinan dan reformasi pendidikan vokasi guna mendukung pencapaian SDGs, terutama tujuan ke-4, ke-8, dan ke-16.

Abstract

This article examines the Merdeka Belajar policy as a value-laden practice within Indonesia’s education reform, emphasizing its philosophical and cultural implications for primary and secondary education. Rather than treating the policy as a technical innovation, this study explores the underlying values, assumptions, and normative tensions that shape its orientation. The study employs a qualitative approach through conceptual and philosophical analysis based on policy documents, educational philosophy, and contemporary social theory. The analysis focuses on how the policy frames educational freedom, pedagogical autonomy, and the relationship between education and culture. The findings indicate that Merdeka Belajar holds emancipatory potential in promoting pedagogical autonomy, contextual learning, and student-centered education. However, it also reveals tensions between educational freedom and technocratic tendencies, which may reduce education to an instrumental function. This study highlights that Merdeka Belajar should be understood as a cultural project that integrates pedagogical flexibility with ethical and cultural orientation, contributing to social cohesion and community well-being.

Abstract

Local culinarians have been mostly studied in terms of economic and tourism aspects. Beyond this material dimension, this study examines Malang meatballs, popularly called Bakso Malang, as cultural identity as a representation that serves as both a symbol of regional identity and a pillar of the creative economy. Using the lens of gastronomy, the focus of this study is to trace the historical narratives, culinary practices, and symbolic values embedded in the product. Data was collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation at four iconic businesses, including the grilled meatballs of Pak Man, meatballs of Damas, meatballs of Bejo, and meatballs of Priyangan. Analysis was conducted thematically with verification through triangulation of sources. The findings indicate that Malang meatballs represent a cultural identity that reflects the creativity and resilience of the local community. Sustained innovation in processing techniques and presentation styles, as seen in the businesses studied, has proven to enrich consumers’ sensory experiences without eroding their traditional roots. Strategic business locations and inclusive service offerings also contribute significantly to Malang’s culinary tourism landscape, as evidenced by the achievement of 3.1 million tourist visits in 2024

Abstract

Cyberloafing, or non-work-related internet activities, has been associated with taking charge behavior that reduce employees’ work performance. This study examines how cyberloafing and anticipated cost relate to employees’ taking charge behavior in the workplace. Rather than treating these variables as inherently opposing influences, the study conceptualizes them as distinct forms of self-regulatory responses to workplace demands. Data were collected from 240 employees in Indonesia’s public sector, with an average age of 46 years and an average tenure of 18.7 years, representing a mature and experienced workforce. The findings show that cyberloafing is negatively associated with taking charge behavior, suggesting that frequent engagement in non-work-related internet activities may reduce employees’ capacity or willingness to initiate constructive changes. In contrast, anticipated cost is positively related to taking charge, indicating that employees who are more attentive to potential risks may also be more deliberate and prepared when engaging in proactive efforts. These results suggest that proactive behavior is shaped not only by tendencies toward disengagement but also by individuals’ evaluation of potential consequences. By integrating these perspectives, the study offers a more balanced understanding of how employees regulate their behavior under dynamic work conditions. It highlights the coexistence of avoidance-oriented and evaluative processes in shaping proactive action. From a practical standpoint, the findings underscore the importance of managing cyberloafing without suppressing employees’ capacity for recovery, while also fostering constructive awareness of risks to support more effective taking charge behavior. This study contributes to the literature by providing a nuanced account of employee behavior in Indonesia’s public sector, where such dynamics remain underexplored

Abstract

The phenomenon of job termination (PHK) and promotion failure for pregnant women is a crucial issue reflecting gender inequality in the workplace. Although various studies have addressed gender-based discrimination, research that specifically examines the psychosocial impact of job termination and promotion failure on pregnant women remains limited. This study aims to understand the subjective experiences of pregnant women affected by job termination or promotion failure and to analyze how these conditions influence their emotional and social wellbeing. This research employs a qualitative approach using in-depth interviews with several pregnant women who experienced job termination or promotion failure. Secondary data is collected through a systematic analysis of relevant online news articles. The data analysis process for this study uses thematic analysis to identify patterns of experience and the main contributing factors. The main findings reveal that job termination and promotion failure lead to high emotional distress, financial anxiety, and a sense of lost professional identity. This study contributes conceptually to understanding gender-based discrimination and enriches qualitative research methods through the combination of primary and secondary data. The study’s limitations include a limited number of Informant and the potential bias of secondary data sources. Future research is recommended to expand the number and diversity of Informant, adopt a longitudinal approach, and advocate for gender-based labor protection policies to create a more inclusive and equitable work environment

Abstract

Expansi industri pariwisata ke dalam ruang sakral telah memunculkan pertanyaan mengenai kemungkinan desakralisasi atau transformasi sakralitas dari ruang-ruang tersebut. Penelitian ini mengeksplorasi perjumpaan ruang sakral tempat pariwisata Padies Kimuwu di Minahasa yang mengakibatkan pergeseran makna kepercayaan lokal. Wisata Padies Kimuwu merupakan lokasi tempat kepercayaan lokal atau ruang sakral penghayat Minahasa yang dipromosikan melalui aktivitas ekonomi. Penghayat kepercayaan lokal Minahasa menerima aktivitas ekonomi yang dijalankan oleh pemodal untuk bisa memperoleh nilai materi dan dapat memperkenalkan kultur kepercayaan lokal kepada publik atau masyarakat luas. Akan tetapi, penghayat harus menghadapi kenyataan bahwa ruang sakral mereka akan bersentuhan dengan kepentingan ekonomi: pemilik modal dan wisatawan/konsumen atau orang luar. Dengan berfokus pada komodifikasi ruang sakral berbasis pariwisata lokal, penelitian ini menjelaskan alasan mengapa penghayat kepercayaan lokal Minahasa menerima pariwisata di ruang sakral Padies Kimuwu. Penelitian ini juga menganalisis dampak pertemuan ruang sakral dan komodifikasi kepercayaan lokal pada tempat pariwisata di Padies Kimuwu. Penelitian ini berbasis pada metode kualitatif dan pendekatan etnografi realis. Teknik pengumpulan data yang digunakan berupa observasi, wawancara mendalam, dan studi pustaka. Penelitian ini menemukan bahwa komodifikasi ruang sakral dapat terjadi melalui proses negosiasi antara pihak religius (penghayat) dan investor (pemilik modal) yang menghasilkan paradigma baru terhadap ruang sakral, awalnya eksklusif bergeser menjadi inklusif

Abstract

The dysfunction of the “pakem” rules in contemporary wayang purwa performances has become a significant phenomenon that has changed the face of this traditional art. Pakem, which should serve as a guideline for the narrative, characters, plot, dialogue, and ethics of the performance, has shifted from its role as an aesthetic standard toward more pragmatic and market-oriented considerations. This shift has caused the dysfunction of the “pakem” rules in wayang performances, which previously upheld traditions and noble values, to now be more oriented towards entertainment and market demands. This study aims to analyze the impact of the dysfunction of the “pakem” rules on the quality of wayang purwa performances in the contemporary era, focusing on three main aspects: the simplification of sulukan, the shift of authority from the dalang to guest stars, and extreme changes in performance style. Qualitative data obtained through in-depth interviews with puppeteers, musicians, and art observers were used to analyze this phenomenon. This analysis is also supported by relevant literature to provide a broader context for the changes occurring in puppetry practices. The results of the study show that the dysfunction of the “pakem” rules tends to influence the perceived quality of wayang performances, leading to the loss of the cultural and aesthetic depth that has been the identity of wayang purwa. This decline in performance quality also reflects a shift in orientation from moral teachings to mere entertainment. Therefore, further research is needed to enrich our understanding of wayang performances in the contemporary era, especially in efforts to revitalize pakem and reinforce traditional values in wayang performances.
