Institutional Evolution of Bawaslu in Indonesia Election Supervision 2003–2017
Get PDFThe 2003–2017 period is a crucial phase in understanding the institutional evolution of the General Election Supervisory Body (Bawaslu), considering that this period became an arena for the consolidation of election supervision in Indonesia which aims to support democracy after the 1998 Reformation. Reformation not only ended the authoritarian regime, but also started a transition democracy that demands the strengthening of fair and transparent electoral institutions. In this context, independent and effective election supervision is a necessity that cannot be ignored. This period reflects the institutional transformation of Bawaslu from an ad hoc entity with limited authority to a permanent institution that has a strategic function in ensuring election integrity. Free and fair elections are not only a marker of procedural democracy, but are also the main pillar of government legitimacy. Therefore, strengthening Bawaslu is not only related to the technical efficiency of supervision, but also to the stability of democracy itself
Case Study: Smoking Behavior During the School Period
Get PDFThis study aims to discuss the factors that cause adolescent smoking behavior during the school period and the general public's perception of this behavior. This research is motivated by the fact that in everyday life many students wearing junior and senior high school clothes smoke in certain places. This problem arises because they are still classified as adolescents and are still underage. This deviant behavior is caused by various causes such as socialization, family, personal problems, the environment, and one's curiosity when seeing other people smoking. The method applied is qualitative with data collection methods in the form of interviews. The researcher asked several semi-structured questions to seven participants which included someone who had smoked during their school days or had smoked since their school days. The researcher interpreted the interview results from the participants' answers to know and strengthen opinions about the causes of adolescent smoking behavior during the school period. The results of data analysis show that the causes of teenage smoking during the school period are influenced by several factors, namely (1) social factors, (2) environmental factors, and (3) factors of lack of supervision and having problems in the family, and (4) factors of dependence on cigarettes. For society, this behavior is indeed very deviant, especially because they are still teenagers. But this behavior is caused by these factors that occur during the school period, especially the social factors that are most dominant in this behavior
An Ideological Critique Towards the Representation of Power in The Novel Teruslah Bodoh Jangan Pintar by Tere Liye
Get PDFIn some cases, literary works can be a means to depict social and political life that is unjust and undemocratic. Ideological criticism in literature is an analytical approach that focuses on how ideologies, or dominant systems of thought and values, are represented and critiqued in literary works, particularly to explain a specific representation of power that can be used as a learning tool. This study aims to analyze the representation of power in novels using a qualitative descriptive method and the theory of hegemonic power. Data was collected through a reading and note-taking technique, as well as by comparing data from the novel with data from references. The analysis reveals that the representation of power in novels consists of three forms: authority, legitimacy, and the nature of power. Authority is used to depict how power influences the lives of society, legitimacy is used to depict how power influences the lives of society in a legitimate manner, and the nature of power is used to depict how power influences the lives of society in an illegitimate manner. The representation of power in novels shows that power can take the form of authority, legitimacy, or the nature of power, which influences the lives of society
Behind the Mountain of Waste: Legal Dilemmas in Galuga Landfill Management
Get PDFThe management of the Galuga Landfill (TPA Galuga) presents significant legal and environmental challenges, highlighting a conflict between the need for waste management and the obligation to protect public health and the environment. Although regulations are established under Law No. 18 of 2008 concerning Waste Management, implementation at the Galuga Landfill remains inadequate, resulting in air, soil, and water pollution that affects the surrounding community's well-being. This research analyzes law enforcement and regulatory implementation weaknesses, focusing on the lack of effective waste treatment, limited infrastructure, and minimal resources that restrict sustainable waste management. Furthermore, the research examines the social and health impacts of the Galuga Landfill on nearby residents and evaluates potential policy reforms and legal measures, including stricter enforcement and community involvement. The study finds that enhanced coordination among government sectors, improved regulatory enforcement, and public-private partnerships are essential to reducing environmental impacts and promoting sustainable waste management practices

China's Strategic View to Afghanistan After the US Withdrawal
Get PDFThe relations between China and Afghanistan have been regulated in the past decades based on Beijing's view of regional and international developments. The withdrawal of US and NATO forces from Afghanistan and the establishment of the Islamic Emirate government in Afghanistan changed China's approach towards Afghanistan from various perspectives. The US withdrawal from Afghanistan changed the balance of power in Afghanistan and, consequently, its surrounding areas. China's view to Afghanistan has always been based on security considerations, and currently economic considerations are also prominent in it. China's grand economic plan in Pakistan and Central Asia on the one hand and China's security concerns about the connection between extremist groups in Afghanistan and the Uyghurs in the neighboring country have been the most important issues of China's attention. The rise of the Islamic Emirate in Afghanistan and the withdrawal of US forces have caused a change in the pattern of relations from calculated indifference to China's strategic view of Afghanistan. In the present study, we have discussed and examined why China's view to Afghanistan has changed from calculated indifference to strategic view
The Contribution of Sumbanese Migrant Construction Workers in Denpasar
Get PDFThis research examines the significant contribution of the Sumbanese people who migrated to Denpasar Island in supporting the city's infrastructure development. The phenomenon of Sumbanese migration to Denpasar in the late 90s is increasing. This is due to the rapid growth of infrastructure that drives the economy and supports tourism in Denpasar, Bali. The presence of Sumbanese people in Denpasar contributes to the economic and housing development there. Qualitative research, incorporating sources from observation, in-depth interviews, and literature studies, reveals that Sumbanese labour with expertise in basic construction is in high demand among foremen who recruit it directly from Sumba to Denpasar. In addition, Sumbanese labour can also meet the needs of the service sector and domestic assistants. This research discusses how this migration is a solution to the economic limitations of the Sumbanese community and how it impacts the economy in Denpasar and Sumba. They send their remittances to Sumba to improve the standard of living of their families in Sumba. Even after gaining work experience in Denpasar and returning to Sumba, new job opportunities can arise there. However, their presence in Denpasar must also face adaptation challenges. Therefore, collaborative efforts are needed between the local government of East Nusa Tenggara, especially Sumba, and the Denpasar City government to improve the workforce's welfare and quality of life so that they can contribute positively to sustainable development in Denpasar City
Perception, Animo, and Expectations Towards the Development of Regional Language, Literature, and Culture
Get PDFBased on a survey conducted by the Language and Book Development Agency, Ministry of Education and Culture conducted from 1991 to 2019, Indonesia has 718 regional languages. This linguistic richness has given birth to a wealth of literature and culture (Saphir Whorf's Theory of Language Relativity). The richness of language, literature, and culture needs to be preserved and developed to achieve progress (Law No. 5 of 2017). That is why FBSB UNY opened a Doctoral Study Program in Language, Literature, and Regional Culture FBSB UNY which received an operational permit in 2024. As a new study program and predicted to be futuristic to advance regional languages, literature, and culture in Indonesia, it is necessary to explore how much enthusiasm and perception of the academic community towards the advancement of language, literature, and culture, their interest in becoming scientists of language, literature, and regional culture and their hopes for the advancement (development) of regional languages, literature, and culture. The research used an analytical survey method with a cross-sectional approach. The research subjects were 119 lecturers in charge of language, literature, and regional culture, IKADBUDI, ADISABDA, and various lecturers, researchers, and reviewers of various inter-, multi-, and transdisciplinary sciences who are members of APEBSKID. The instrument was a questionnaire developed using Google Forms. The questionnaire consisted of closed-ended and open-ended questions. Validation was carried out using construct validity and peer discussion. Analysis was carried out using descriptive statistics. The results showed that 57% had very high perceptions, enthusiasm, and expectations or strongly agreed, 36% had high perceptions, enthusiasm, and expectations or agreed, and 7% had less perceptions, enthusiasm, and expectations.
