Abstract

Divorce among young couples in urban Zanzibar has emerged as a critical social welfare concern shaped by Islamic marital norms, rapid urbanization, and shifting gender dynamics in Mtoni Ward, West District “A.” The 2022 Population and Housing Census reports a 6.2% divorce rate in the Urban West Region, with women disproportionately affected, yet existing literature remains theoretically limited. This study employs a qualitative desk review of secondary data, integrating peer-reviewed literature and census evidence, guided by Social Exchange Theory, Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, and Community Development Theory. Findings indicate that unemployment, economic insecurity, emotional neglect, poor communication, and weakening community mediation structures jointly accelerate marital dissolution. The study demonstrates that divorce is a structurally embedded social welfare issue rather than an individual failure. It calls for gender-responsive interventions, including premarital education, economic empowerment, and sustainable post-divorce support systems.

Abstract

Urbanization is a socio economic phenomenon that continues to develop in various regions, including Indonesia, and significantly influences local economic transformation and social change. This study examines how urbanization shapes adaptive economic strategies, social mobility, and economic conditions in Bone Regency, Indonesia. A qualitative case study approach was employed using the analytical frameworks of Miles & Huberman and Spradley. Informants were selected purposively, while data validity was ensured through triangulation techniques. The findings reveal that urbanization is driven by economic pressures, employment opportunities, accessibility, and technological development. Urbanization encourages people to adopt adaptive livelihood strategies through temporary and circular mobility between rural and urban areas. At the same time, urbanization contributes to social change, labor transformation, and increased urban economic activity. However, it also generates challenges such as urban poverty, income inequality, unemployment, congestion, and the growth of informal settlements. Therefore, sustainable policies are needed to balance urban growth, local economic transformation, and social welfare in both rural and urban areas.

Abstract

Inclusive economic development is essential for reducing rural inequality and social exclusion in Indonesia, where structural barriers continue to limit financial access, gender participation, and community empowerment. This study examines the Gerakan Masyarakat Pedesaan Lumajang (Gemapalu) as a grassroots model of inclusive rural development. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and document analysis conducted between 2021 and 2025. The findings reveal that Gemapalu promotes inclusion through three integrated pillars: cooperative-based financial services, community production systems, and local distribution networks. These initiatives are supported by participatory governance, gender-transformative practices, and digital financial innovations. Rather than merely expanding economic opportunities, Gemapalu reshapes local power relations by strengthening community agency and women's participation. The study also highlights tensions between grassroots initiatives and state-led cooperative programs, demonstrating that inclusive development is a contested process shaped by institutions, power dynamics, and evolving social relations.

Abstract

Donald Trump’s election is a contradictory phenomenon in the context of democracy in the US and the world at large. Donald Trump represents the antithesis of the democratization process currently underway in various parts of the world. Donald Trump implements anti-Muslim immigration policies and fosters nationalism through violent means. This study employs a qualitative approach, drawing data from articles written by experts, as well as recent literature reviews or relevant studies authored by experts and published in leading international journals, along with books and research reports covering the second phase—spanning from Donald Trump’s campaign through his election as president in 2024. The results of the analysis show an increase in Islamophobia in the US during the campaign period leading up to Donald Trump’s election. Donald Trump’s election ultimately sparked concerns and fears of discrimination, persecution, and physical violence against immigrants in the US. Donald Trump implemented anti-Muslim immigration policies and fostered nationalism through violent means. These findings suggest that political nationalism and anti-Muslim rhetoric during the Trump era reinforced Islamophobia in the United States, jeopardizing relations between Muslim immigrants and non-immigrants. This, of course, has an impact on the development of democracy in the United States and in countries with Muslim-majority populations like Indonesia.

Abstract

The internalization of religious values within a prostitution area continues to grow despite remaining consistently misunderstood by the public in Yogyakarta. This study offers an alternative perspective to minimize the stigma that tends to generate horizontal conflict. Employing a qualitative method and phenomenological approach, this study reveals two key insights. First, Gus Miftah internalizes religious values among sex workers through three instructional concepts: the dichotomy between human actions and human dignity, spiritual evolution, and the commodification of religion. Second, the implications of this internalization process are manifested in the religious practices of the sex workers through alterations in sexual service activities during Ramadan, participation in tarāwih prayers and the recitation of the Quran (tadārus), and charitable acts (ṣadaqah) to assist fellow workers. The central analysis of these findings indicates that sexuality needs to become a new consciousness to reconstruct the concept of civil religion for sex workers, thereby fostering equal rights, identity, and participation free from the threat of moral majoritarianism. This study contributes to proposing the concept of a jurisprudence of prostitution (fiqh of prostitution) grounded in the paradigm of the sex worker’s citizenship.
