Abstract

Studies of interfaith relations in Indonesia tend to measure harmony at the aggregate level, leaving the everyday mechanisms that produce coexistence in religiously mixed villages largely undocumented. This article examines how local wisdom is incorporated into the management of da’wah in Lam Bheu Village (Gampong Lam Bheu), Aceh Besar, and how this incorporation works as a mechanism of peacebuilding among Muslim, Catholic, and Confucian residents. Using a qualitative case-study design, data were collected between May and June 2026 through in-depth interviews with nine purposively selected informants (the mosque imam, a da’wah steward, the village head (keuchik), a customary leader, a Muslim resident, and a formal representative and an ordinary resident from each of the Catholic and Confucian communities), supplemented by participant observation and documentary analysis. The data were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model, with source and technique triangulation. Three findings emerge. First, decisions on da’wah content and scheduling are reached collectively through musyawarah (consultative deliberation) involving mosque administrators, imams, customary leaders, and village authorities. Second, local values function both as sermon content and as method: gotong royong (mutual cooperation), condolence visits, and village festivities become the medium of da’wah bil-hal (da’wah through deeds), bringing Muslim and non-Muslim residents into the same social space without extending worship across the boundary. Third, da’wah is calibrated along a line that residents themselves articulate as mixing in social affairs while observing limits in worship, which also governs the handling of minor friction. The study specifies da’wah management as a boundary-conscious and collectively coordinated practice and extends participatory communication theory to a configuration in which participation and religious particularity coexist. Because the evidence derives from a single village and a small purposive sample, the argument is offered as a context-specific account rather than a transferable model.

Abstract

Village governments in Aceh Province have adopted the Gampong Information System (SIGAP) as the primary digital instrument for realizing Satu Data Aceh (One Data Aceh), yet studies of Indonesian village digitalization have largely examined e-governance as a technical infrastructure problem, leaving the communicative and socio-cultural dimensions of implementation underexplored. This study addresses that gap by analyzing SIGAP as a digital communication practice, focusing on the opportunities and challenges of implementation and, distinctively, on the forms and depth of community participation in validating gampong (village) data. Using a qualitative descriptive-analytical case study design, data were drawn from regulatory documents, scientific literature, and credible news reports, triangulated with the author’s field observations as an official of the Aceh Office of Community and Gampong Empowerment (DPMG Aceh), and analyzed thematically. The findings show that SIGAP accelerates public services and strengthens administrative transparency, but its implementation is constrained by digital literacy, infrastructure gaps, data-hoax risks, and unresolved questions of data security. Read through Arnstein’s Ladder of Citizen Participation, community involvement in SIGAP currently sits mostly at the informing and consultation rungs, with only isolated cases approaching genuine partnership. The study contributes a communication-centered, participation-based framework for understanding village data governance, and recommends that DPMG Aceh strengthen participatory mentoring models grounded in Acehnese customary deliberation (musyawarah) and the Islamic principles of amanah (trust and responsibility) and tabayyun (information verification) to move community involvement toward higher rungs of the participation ladder.

Abstract

This study examines how Sunda Wiwitan indigenous believers in West Java negotiate state-sanctioned bureaucratic marginalization amid religious modernization. Dominant discourses frame indigenous communities as passive victims on the margins of contemporary religious life. This study challenges that narrative through a critical cultural studies perspective, drawing on Antonio Gramsci’s theory of cultural hegemony and Michel de Certeau’s theory of everyday resistance. A qualitative ethnographic approach was employed in the customary enclaves of Cigugur (Kuningan) and Kampung Pasir (Garut) over eight months, from January to August 2025, involving 25 key informants selected through purposive and snowball sampling. Data were collected through participant observation, semi-structured interviews, and archival and policy analysis, and were analyzed using the interactive model of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings show that bureaucratic classifications and majority-biased legal politics continue to obstruct civil rights, such as marriage registration and identity card issuance, despite Constitutional Court Decision No. 97/PUU-XIV/2016. Internal generational adaptations and pragmatic economic survival strategies reveal that the community is not a static relic but a dynamic social body. This study contributes to debates on indigenous rights, state hegemony, and religious pluralism in contemporary Indonesia, demonstrating that living on the margins is both a site of marginalization and a strategic position of cultural assertion.
