Climate Change And The Decision To Become Sex Workers For North Coastal Women Of Java Island

Puspita Wulandari — 2025-02-13

Women are not only faced with challenges regarding social construction but are also faced with natural challenges. The uncertain climate has in fact become one of the reasons for fertilizing the prostitution business in the northern coast of Java Island. Climate change is making poverty even more real. The drastic decline in marine products and the uncertainty of life during the pandemic provide a special impetus for women in making decisions as sex workers. A phenomenological approach is used to reveal the meaning behind women's decisions. The results of the study reveal that there are at least two things that are taken into consideration in making women's decisions to become sex workers, namely economic incapacity and powerlessness in social construction as women.

From Protests to Petitions: The Global Response to the Gaza Crisis Since October 2023

Hasbi Aswar — 2025-02-13

This paper discusses the global civilian response to the Israeli massacre in Gaza since October 2023. The massacre began when Hamas carried out an attack on October 07 that was retaliated with indiscriminate attacks by the Israeli regime. Israel carried out massacres not only through military strikes but also by blockading Gaza by stopping the entry of food, water, electricity, and internet aid in Gaza. This has increased the number of deaths in Gaza and people suffering acutely. The international community responded to this Israeli attack through condemnation, criticism, and calls to stop this massacre. This study will focus on the efforts of the global civil community in responding to the Israeli massacre in Gaza by trying to map the spread of actions and strategies carried out by these communities. This study uses a qualitative method approach by collecting data through online media to assess the actions and movement patterns of the global community's efforts to respond to the Gaza issue and the Israeli massacre.

Literature Review on River Restoration in the Perspective of Social Movements

Siti Zunariyah — 2025-02-13

The river restoration movement is a new variant of the mainstream environmental movement. This issue is not supported by existing studies although it is shaped by social, economic, political and ecological interests at local and global scales. This article is an attempt to make a preliminary assessment of the academic literature occurring in several countries in the perspective of the environmental movement. This article uses the method of searching scientific articles or literature reviews, namely reading, summarizing, and reporting the source of previous data found on certain topics written by previous researchers. Grouping articles in the perspective of social movements consisting of resource mobilization, political opportunities, framing and collective identity and social networks is carried out in order to produce critical notes as well as recommendations for further research.

The results of the literature review show that research on river restoration movements with various perspectives of social movements has explained the process of resource mobilization and political processes. Various actors and actors are mobilizing resources; develop concrete and symbolic strategies and actions; conducive policy changes; and active community initiatives to encourage policies that enable the river restoration movement to remain sustainable. With the perspective of resource mobilization, the process of how organizational resources are distributed and exchanged can influence the role played by different actors in social networks.

Islamic Activism and Popular Da'wah Strategy in Indonesia

Willi Ashadi — 2025-02-13

This research explores the concept of Islamic activism and popular da'wah strategies in Indonesia. Da'wah, or vocation to Islam, is a fundamental obligation for every Muslim.

Indonesia, with its large Muslim population, has many activists and preachers involved in da'wah. This study examines various approaches and characteristics of these da'wah practitioners, targeting various segments of society, including the younger generation, adolescents, and older people. This study aims to discuss the urgency of da'wah from an Islamic perspective, the evolution of popular da'wah strategies, and the impact of da'wah through social media.

Disability and Justice Mobility in Indonesia’s Public Transport: The Case Study of MRT Jakarta

Mohammad Hasan Ansori — 2025-02-13

This study aims to examine the accessibility of People with Disability (PWDs ) in public services, especially public transport, by taking MRT Jakarta as the case study. This study specifically builds on the theory of mobility justice put forward by Sheller to develop holistic, network wide approaches to promoting the social inclusion of PWDs through opportunities to participate in public transport. This study methodologically employs the qualitatively semi-structured interviews with purposively selected informants, including persons with disabilities who regularly use public transport, policymakers, public transport service providers, civil society organizations, and academics. Besides the primary data, the study also used the secondary one, including data stored in general data archives, special collections, publishing companies, reports and public documents as well as academic publications. This study finds that while PWD’s involvement at the stage of design and planning of public transport remains restricted, the accessibility of PWDs to public transport has been significantly improved and decently provided, thereby addressing the injustice of mobilities among people with different physical abilities.

Between Public Acceptance and Worship Challenges: A Study of the Religious Lives of Transgender Women in the Midst of Democratization

Pardamean Daulay — 2025-02-13

Inspired by a number of incomplete studies on transgender women, this study attempts to give a thorough picture of their lives by examining the aspect of their religious experiences. The purpose of this study is to investigate how transgender women's existence is related to social acceptance and how that acceptance affects their religious practices. The research uses a qualitative approach with in-depth interviews conducted with several religiously observant transgender women. The findings show that in Indonesia, transgender women face discrimination in family and social settings due to traditional values and negative stereotypes. Despite this, they can be welcomed and valued in socioeconomic roles when they contribute positively. However, places of worship often become sites of persecution for transgender individuals, leading to discomfort and reduced devotion. The study shows that while societal discrimination affects transgender people across various aspects of life, including religious practices, their potential for personal and spiritual growth is hindered by such biases.

The Existence of Campursari Music Javanese Culture in Globalization Era

Rosseta Septia Menawati — 2025-02-13

Campursari music is the result of the popular culture of the Javanese people who are connected to each other, not only regarding the use of Javanese lyrics but also regarding conveying the noble values of Javanese culture in every meaning of the lyrics sung. The method used in this research is a systematic literature review, which is a type of approach that utilizes literature studies as various literary sources that are collected systematically to answer problematic topics from the themes raised in a study. This research aims to look at the changes that have occurred in campursari music from time to time. The results of the research obtained explain that in each era campursari music underwent changes from the old campursasi music which was close to gamelan playing and lyrics which carried Javanese values, then began to become more widely known in the Manthous era with several modifications and reached the peak of popularity through Didi Kempot in the era of massive globalization in 2019 with several changes in the presentation of his music so that he was able to form a group of fans with an extraordinary base, namely Sobat Ambyar. The response to the transformational changes in campursari music that has occurred from time to time has experienced pros and cons from several parties because this is related to the Javanese values contained in campursari music. It is quite a complicated cultural issue between maintaining campursari as local music that is close to Javanese noble values known as ancient campursari music, or providing space for campursari artists to explore more widely in order to keep campursari music still existing in the midst of development and globalization which has become increasingly massive has further introduced modern campursari music among the wider community.

Agricultural Modernization: Declining Job Prospects and Income for Pa'daros

Sakaria To Anwar — 2025-02-13

The development of agricultural technology gives rise to a struggle between tradition and technology which has the impact of not only changing the way of working, but can also create significant social and economic changes. The role of women farmers is an interesting focus for further research, because before agricultural mechanization, they had played an important role in this sector, especially in Sidenreng Rappang (Sidrap) which was nicknamed the rice barn of South Sulawesi. Women agricultural workers in this area are known as Pa'daros, so how does agricultural modernization interact with tradition, as well as what impact it has on the social and economic landscape in women farming communities. This research uses qualitative research methods, descriptive type. Data was collected through in-depth interviews with informants. To strengthen the data, limited observations and literature studies were also carried out. The data was analyzed by carrying out data reduction, presenting the data and drawing conclusions. The results of this research show that agricultural modernization in Tonrongnge Village has caused massive changes in the agricultural sector and has had an impact on reducing the employment prospects and income of pa'daros women. This can be seen in the shift and shrinkage of women's work in the agricultural sector, from the planting process to harvest. Work that was previously handled by women has now been replaced by machines operated by a few people and generally men. The decline in women's employment opportunities certainly has an impact on their income. Now the pa'daros are increasingly degraded or even have no income anymore compared to before the massive mechanization in the agricultural sector in Tonrongnge Village.

Woman Crisis Centre and Facts Approval of Sexual Violence in Terms of Gramsci's Hegemonic Theory

Siti Nurbayani — 2025-02-13

The problem of sexual violence in the higher education environment is increasingly worrying. Therefore, the Ministry of Education and Culture issued the Regulation Number 30 of 2021 concerning the Prevention and Handling of Sexual Violence. The regulation subsequently generated controversy within society. What precisely does the phrase "without the victim's consent" mean? Given that it qualifies as a crime, what category do articles that use the phrase "without the consent of the victim" fall into? We must address this issue to resolve the conflicting benefits and drawbacks in society, especially as the number of victims of sexual violence continues to rise. The author attempts to investigate this issue through the lens of normative legal research. The study employs phenomenological research methods to shed light on the occurrence of a system of power relationships within an educational setting that combats sexual violence. Next, the method will delve into the personal experiences of informants identified by the research participants within a higher education environment, examining how individuals construct and interpret their actions in a specific situation. The author believes that including the phrase "without the victim's consent" is necessary to protect the victim's privacy and individual rights. Articles containing the phrase "without the victim's consent" are not articles legalizing adultery, but articles with the qualifications for complaint offenses.

From Editorial Board: Development, Society and Democracy

Editor in Chief — 2025-02-13

The first APSSI International Conference was held collaboratively with ICSPS The Faculty of Social and Political Sciences, UIN Jakarta (Islamic State University Jakarta), 15-17 May 2024, under the theme “Pursing Sustainable and Inclusive Development through Global Collaboration”. In many countries, a development policy and its implementation must deal with the following problems of society such as conflict, religious or identity sentiment, climate change, marginalization, environmental issues, gender injustice, and others. The problems are reflecting how development as a policy of the government will always need a study to formulate, revise or accomplish.

As the papers of the conference elaborate the problems that often occur within the implementation of the development through a case study. As the current big issue of world wide society namely climate change that influence the society including the livelihood of the citizens, women, in a coastal area. As the case of women in North Coast Java island which is facing a very narrow option to get a ‘right job’ except as sex workers. How do the government should respond that problem with the instrument of development?

Some other problems of development can be seen from the case of accessibility of people with disability in the public transportation through the case of MRT Jakarta, the issue of transgender identity in public sphere, and the security issue of community resilience in coastal area. While the global issue related to the issue of humanity that becomes one of the attention by Indonesian society is Israel’s occupation on Palestinian territory.

The papers of APSSI the International Conference Proceeding as the result of the international conference held by UIN Jakarta may contribute empirically some problems in development, especially in Indonesia.
