Involvement of Opposition Parties in the Quality of Democracy in the Government System in Indonesia
No full textThe democratic system in a country will certainly lose its meaning if the government runs without any counterbalance or effective control from the opposition. This kind of government is closer to oligarchy or authoritarianism than democracy. Although Indonesia recognizes democracy, this country has not fully succeeded in growing a strong opposition. This article will examine various issues related to the role of the opposition in democratic life, namely the essence of opposition in the context of democracy and the role of the opposition in Indonesian politics and its importance for strengthening democracy. Research shows that the role of the opposition party is very significant in the sustainability of democracy in the Indonesian government system, because it creates a stability that is conducive to democracy. The opposition party functions as a check and balance mechanism for the government so that government policies can be monitored and criticized by parties outside the government. Because the coalition parties in parliament are not fully effective in carrying out their duties and functions, the existence of the opposition party is critical in implementing the principle of checks and balances in the Indonesian presidential system. Policies must bring benefits that prioritize common interests and appeal to not just one group of people. Thus, the opposition party is the main alternative to ensure that government policies remain in line with the interests of the people as a whole
Mid-term Replacement Members of the Regional Representative Council of Bandar Lampung City Based on the Siyasah Syar'iyyah Perspective
No full textRepresentative institutions currently in office can have their positions replaced by other members with conditions in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. This mechanism is called mid-term replacement (PAW). In its implementation, the PAW mechanism is a positive and effective means of maximizing the performance of representative institutions, but there are also various problems that arise. Replacing members of representative institutions in the middle of their term of office will deviate the objectives of the general elections held. Apart from that, disputes between members of representative institutions and their supporting parties cannot be avoided due to inappropriate processes in implementing the mechanisms. This study is a qualitative field research which does not require an in-depth knowledge of the literature used or specific abilities on the part of the research party. It is presented in the form of descriptive analysis where the data generated from primary and secondary data sources are described and provide a picture that matches the reality in the field. The results of this research show that the PAW of the Bandar Lampung City DPRD in 2019-2024 has occurred three times and is in accordance with the rules stipulated in Law Number 17 of 2014 concerning the MPR, DPR, DPD, and DPRD, which regulate PAW. In implementing PAW, the Bandar Lampung City DPRD has carried out its duties well in accordance with the law and Syar’iyyah principles, so that the implementation of PAW does not conflict and is carried out well
Female Lecturers Managing Work-Family Conflict with Career Autonomy
No full textThis study investigates the impact of Work-Family Conflict (WFC) and the Glass Ceiling (GC) on Job Satisfaction ( JS) among female lecturers in Catholic higher education institutions in Indonesia. Data from 269 respondents were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). Results show that WFC and GC negatively impact job satisfaction by hindering career progression and creating tension between work and family roles. Protean Career Orientation (PCO) was identified as a key mediator, enabling women to maintain higher job satisfaction despite these barriers. The findings suggest that fostering PCO through targeted development programs can help institutions support female lecturers in navigating institutional challenges and improving job satisfaction
Becoming a Resilient Community: How a Disaster-prone Community Survives an Abrasion
No full textBedono Village, a village in Demak Regency, Indonesia, is a village severely affected by abrasion. The past 20 years have witnessed the drowning of hamlets due to abrasion, namely the hamlets of Morosari and Senik, and every year the height of the land decreases by 10 cm. As a result, the residents of Bedono Village had to adapt in various ways. The people of Bedono Village have shown resilience and adapted to these new conditions by raising their houses, changing jobs, and founding social organizations. Every resident of Bedono Village has a reserve fund that must be prepared in case of renovation and job changes. This research aims to explain the resilience strategy applied by the residents of Bedono Village in facing abrasion in their area. This research uses a descriptive qualitative method and data are collected using several techniques. Interviews, observation, documentation, and literature study are methods used to obtain information. The initial results show that there is a pattern of societal adaptation amid an environmental disaster. Furthermore, work orientation in the socio-economic community has changed, from the agricultural sector to fishermen and fishponds. Moreover, continuous abrasion results in a decreasing population of the community
Surface Runoff Analysis for Infiltration Well to Maintain Groundwater Availability
No full textRapidly increasing housing demand has led to significant land-use changes, even in rural areas like Pakintelan Village. One major consequence of these changes is increased surface runoff, which can contribute to environmental issues. This study aims to analyze the surface runoff in Pakintelan Village and estimate the number and placement of infiltration wells needed to effectively manage the runoff. Using a combination of arithmetic methods based on rational equations and Geographic Information System (GIS) tools, the research identified the main catchment areas in Pakintelan Village. The GIS data used in the analysis had a vertical accuracy of 50 cm and a horizontal accuracy of 7 cm. The results show that the village produces approximately 3.89 m3/sec of runoff, with the majority originating from mixed garden areas. To mitigate this, infiltration wells should be placed at the lowest location in these mixed gardens to reduce surface runoff. This study provides a novel assessment of runoff and water absorption strategies in Pakintelan Village, offering practical insights for future land and water resource management in similar settings
