Abstract

Chinese and indigenous people in Kalipasir have lived together for centuries. Although they experienced various social changes due to changes in spatial planning, job opportunities, and cultural recognition, they still live in harmony by negotiating its identity. This study will reveal the factors driving the negotiation of the identity of the people of Kampung Kalipasir; the ways of the identity negotiation in Kalipasir Village take place; and the impact of identity negotiation on people's attitudes to social change. Applying qualitative research, this study reveals that identity negotiations are driven by factors of cultural diversity, economic equality, and the presence of a common enemy. The form of identity negotiation that occurs is manifested in three behaviors, namely tolerance, prioritizing togetherness, and maintaining tradition. The consequences of this identity negotiation led to a multicultural attitude, prioritizing deliberation, and rejecting exclusivity. This finding shows that a multicultural society can develop in response to social change without having to become a hybrid society by negotiating a tolerant identity and building togetherness while still maintaining traditional values.

Abstract

Results from the 2019 Indonesian National Socioeconomic Survey showed that the poverty rate in the Special Region of Yogyakarta was 11.44 %, higher by 2.22% than the 9.22% national average. However, the National Human Happiness Index in 2014 and 2017 showed that the residents of Yogyakarta were among the top ranks. This study aims to describe the poor empirically and the meaning of happiness for them. Applying the qualitative method using a narrative approach, the results revealed that the informants were not happy living in poverty but were content with their lives for reasons attributable to the belief system and local culture. In the Javanese language, this attitude is called ‘nerimo’, which translates into ‘accepting the situation’. They practice this to improve their psychological well-being.

Abstract

Dana desa (village funds) is one of the new policies to realize development based on the needs of rural communities. In its implementation there is a role that is often overlooked, it is women's role. This paper discusses the process of formulating dana desa policies in Pengalusan Village, with a focus on the role of women when formulating these policies. Applying the gender approach this study found that the planning process for the formulation of dana desa policies is carried out through the Musrenbangdes (village development planning meeting) which is carried out before the APBDes decision is agreed. But from the planning through evaluation processes there is no specific discussion related to the ideas, interests, and role of women in the development processes in the village. The elite as decision makers are men, and village development policies are more masculine, one of which is demonstrated through physical development. Women's ideas, roles and interests have not received enough attention in village development prosecces.

Abstract

The flea market constituted a specific phenomenon in the context of market formation. Some social, cultural, and structural backgrounds trigger the formation of a flea market. This research aimed to uncover the processes of forming the flea market in Bukitinggi as a part of the Minangkabau community, in West Sumatra, Indonesia. By applying the qualitative method, data were collected from observations and in-depth interviews with informants from the Bukittinggi flea market. The 14 informants participating in this research were the flea market’s managers, sellers, and buyers. The thematic observations were carried out regularly to capture the real conditions and the discussions among the community members. The data analysis and triangulation refer to Miles and Huberman’s model. The findings confirm Aspers’ approach to market formation. The flea market was formed through three simultaneous processes: spontaneous, autonomous, and state-governed market creation. The stages of the flea market formation were orientation, contraction, and cohesion involving state actors, sellers, and buyers. The cultural barriers in the orientation process were removed during the contraction stage through various social constructions and the state’s involvement in market relocation. The cohesion was formed by upholding the community’s cultural traditions.

Abstract

The strong Minang family traditions are facing the demand for flexibility from modern city life, especially when Minang people live outside the Minang land, such as in Yogyakarta. This study aims to reveal how the ‘flexible life’ is experienced by Minang families. The questions are how family traditional provisions have fared and how Minang families in Yogyakarta accommodate traditional provisions in different social and cultural contexts. This study applies qualitative methods and a phenomenological approach involving 15 informants. The findings show that Minang families in Yogyakarta have seen changes in their marriage traditions, which used to be strictly regulated by Minangkabau custom. By opening a dialectical process in Yogyakarta, they accommodate and adapt to the Javanese traditions and customs in conducting marriages. The impact is that family marriage traditions change. Nonetheless, Minang families in Yogyakarta have not lost their Minang identity. They remain Minang even though they marry a non-Minang.

Abstract

The working pattern in traditional society still becomes an exciting topic to investigate as they portray how society makes their living. The research aims at investigating the relationship between employer and employee in fishing management in Kelurahan Pasar Bengkulu, Bengkulu Province, Indonesia. The study employed a phenomenology-based qualitative approach, with participants chosen using a purposive sampling technique. Data were gathered through observation, interviews, and documentation. The collected data were analyzed by reducing, describing, and verifying data. The standards of credibility, transferability, dependability, and confirmability are confirmed to validate the data. The findings signified that:1) the patron-client symbolizes exploitation in which most business is dominated by the middlemen, while the fishermen only play a role as the executors during the fishing process. Additionally, the patron-client relationship represents an imbalance of fishery profit sharing; 2) such a relationship does contribute to fishermen’s structural and cultural poverty. The cooperation between labor associations and governance active role supported by financial aid from related parties is highly recommended to promote fishermen’s wealth.

Abstract

Since 1980, the Islamic literacy of the Sudirman Mosque, Yogyakarta has centered around jihadi ideology, while the Jogokariyan Mosque, Yogyakarta has been normative and oriented toward Islamization. Of late, the Sudirman and the Jogokariyan Mosques are taking new and different approaches to Islamic literacy. This study aims to describe the newly adopted approaches and their appropriation within the middle-class society and the urban Islamic landscape. This research is qualitative-descriptive, using post-Islamism as a theoretical concept. This study highlights two important findings. First, the Sudirman Mosque takes a progressive approach by discussing philosophy and postcolonialism and publishing reflective Islamic literature, while the Jogokariyan Mosque popularizes Islam through spiritual recreation, hijrah festivals, and publishing normative Islamic pop literature. Second, these new approaches to Islamic literacy appropriate urban characteristics and the congregations’ social classes. These findings contribute to mapping new Islamic literacy patterns in Yogyakarta.

Abstract

Australia is very important to Indonesia’s tourism recovery strategies after the COVID-19 pandemic. This study examines tourism issues in Indonesia as represented by Australian websites. By mapping actors and issue networks in Australian sites, this study identified the status and behavior of actors in online networks. This study applies a Bourdieusian framework adapted to an online setting called online field theory. Applying web data to study the behavior of actors or organizations, this study combined the hyperlink network and content analysis. It has been found that tourism policies and tourism impact on the economy in Indonesia is a major concern for Australian actors. The web narratives indicate that the COVID-19 pandemic contextualizes the emergence of major issues and prominent actors dealing with the issues. A map of the hyperlink network confirmed the structure of the fields in which privileged actors in Australia, such as the government and the media, are more central in framing and diffusing the issues. It is argued that issue formation and adoption on the web reflect multiple Australian interests to Indonesia’s tourism.

Abstract

Discrepancy in the value of labor is a discrepancy between the price of work expressed in money or wages with the necessities of a decent life. This discrepancy results in an accumulation of income that leads to economic inequality. The aim of the research is to find out the discrepancy in the value of labor experienced by workers and its impact on economic inequality. This research was conducted in Yogyakarta considering that this city has the highest level of economic inequality and is one of the regions with the lowest minimum wage in Indonesia. This research method is descriptive qualitative by looking at the difference in value between decent living needs and district/city minimum wages in Yogyakarta Province. The data includes district/city minimum wages, the cost of living necessities, and main employment status. The results of this study show that there is a discrepancy in the value of labor in Yogyakarta in 2022 and 2023. This discrepancy can be seen through the difference between the necessities of life and the minimum wage of IDR 858,281- IDR 1,801,059. In addition, the discrepancy in the value of labor encourages economic inequality as a result of the accumulation of income received by owners of capital and the exploitation of labor experienced by workers.
