Bridging theory and grassroots insight: Assessing the capacity of local communities in evaluating cultural heritage significance
No full textBackground: The city of Yogyakarta as a special area that has a high historical value and a wealth of historical heritage is deemed necessary to pay more attention to these things. Moreover, the rapid development and massive development that is currently happening can threaten the sustainability of the existing cultural heritage areas. One of the Cultural Conservation Areas that may be threatened is the Kotagede area as a witness to the history of the glory of the Islamic Mataram Kingdom and the forerunner of the formation of the city of Yogyakarta. This area is currently and will continue to undergo several changes. The local community as one of the stakeholders has a very important role in harmonizing the changes that occur. Research to see the extent to which the assessment of the significance of cultural heritage both theoretically and through local community criteria becomes very significant to be carried out. Methods: This study uses a deductive-mix method approach and statistical analysis uses a Likert-scaled technique. The unit of observation of this study includes 6 objects of cultural heritage found in the Kotagede Cultural Heritage Area, namely Kotagede Market, Mataram Gedhe Mosque, Tomb Complex of the Founders of the Kingdom & Sendang Seliran, Kampung Alun-Alun (“Between Two Gates”), Kedhaton, and Ruins. Cepuri Fort. The analysis was carried out in three stages. The first stage is to assess the significance of cultural heritage based on literacy studies and secondary data. The second stage is to assess the significance of cultural heritage by involving the role of local communities through the development of criteria. The next stage is to analyze the significance of each proposed criterion based on public perception. Findings: Summarize the main findings, including specific effect sizes and their statistical significance, if possible. The result of this research is that all research objects have important significance values, where there is only a slight difference between the assessment based on literature study and based on public perception. Conclusion: In conclusion, this study highlights that all cultural heritage sites in the Kotagede area hold significant value, with only minor differences between theoretical assessments and local community perceptions. It also emphasizes that local communities possess comparable capacity and insight to other stakeholders in evaluating the significance of cultural heritage. Novelty/Originality of this article: Another finding from this study is that local communities also have the same capacity and capability as other stakeholders to assess the significance of cultural heritage
The analysis of short supply chain patterns in urban vegetable stalls and its contributions to sustainable development goals
Full text linkBackground: The long supply chain of the global food system faces criticism of poverty, which has led to the emergence of short supply chains (SSC) as an alternative. The urban system, particularly in Semarang City, still needs improvement because currently, food is still supplied from agricultural areas outside the city due to the city's inadequate conditions for farmed food. This study investigates the implementation of SSC through emerging urban vegetable stalls ("kedai sayur") in Semarang City, Indonesia, a growing urban center that relies on surrounding agricultural areas. Methods: A qualitative case study approach was used, utilizing semi-structured interviews and participant observation with eight vegetable stalls selected purposively in five geographical regions of Semarang City—north (North Semarang Subdistrict), east (Gayamsari and Pedurungan Subdistrict), south (Banyumanik and Gajahmungkur Subdistrict), west (West Semarang Subdistrict), and central (Central Semarang Subdistrict)—to understand their operational and supply chains patterns. Findings: The research identified four distinct SSC patterns, adapted to local contexts, which effectively reduce intermediaries and enhance vegetable freshness. These patterns demonstrably contribute to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 2, 11, and 12 by improving food access, strengthening urban-rural linkages, and promoting responsible consumption. However, a key finding is the environmental trade-off: reliance on small-scale, fragmented logistics can lead to higher carbon emissions per unit, presenting a risk of unintentional greenwashing. Conclusion. Vegetable stalls represent a significant innovation for urban food security, achieving their full sustainability potential requires coordinated logistics solutions, such as shared transport, to mitigate hidden environmental costs and ensure authentic sustainable development. Novelty/Originality: This study bridges the gap between urban food security and sustainable logistics by analyzing the "kedai sayur" (vegetable stall) phenomenon in Semarang City
The potential of banana corm-based (Musa Paradisiaca) instant noodles as a solution-oriented strategy for implementing a circular economy for sustainable prosperity
No full textBackground: The accumulation of agricultural waste and high dependency towards wheat imports remains a structural challenges to food security and environmental sustainability. Banana corm, an underutilized by-product rich in starch and resistant starch content, offers a strategic potential as a functional substitute for wheat in instant noodle production. The goal of this research is to bridge these gaps by formulating Miglo and simultaneously evaluating its potential to harmonize physicochemical quality with real-world economic viability. Methods: This mixed-method research applying a Completely Randomized Design with three substituion levels (30-50%) where physicochemical properties were analyzed descriptively while organoleptic data underwent One-Way ANOVA and Duncan’s test. Socio-economic impacts were assessed through field observations to validate the circular economy’s feasibility. Findings: The result showed that 50% substitution (T3) yielded the highest consumer acceptance, despite its decrease in carbohydrate due to resistant starch formation. Aroma and texture remained statistically unaffected, proving that high levels of substitution do not compromise overall sensory quality. Miglo implementation demonstrates economic feasibility, offering a strategic solution for agricultural waste valorization and reduced wheat dependency within a functional circular economy framework. Conclusion: Instant noodles made from banana corms (Musa paradisiaca) are an innovative circular economy strategy that is acceptable to consumers when made from a 50% wheat flour and 50% banana corm flour mixture. This strategy has a positive impact on reducing agricultural waste, strengthening food security, and improving the economic welfare of the community. Novelty/Originality of this article: This research provides an integrative approach bridging technical aspects and practical impacts of the circular economy model, serving as a strategic solution to ensure food sovereignty and community economic empowerment
Household waste management, community behavior, and sustainability challenges in urban areas
Full text linkBackground: The paper is an analysis of household waste management in the Awutu Senya East District of Ghana with a focus on the challenges that have been presented by the accelerated urbanisation, population increase and changing consumption components. Since the volume and complexity of waste is compounded by these factors, it is becoming important that proper management is maintained with respect to the health of people and environmental sustainability. Methods: The research design employed in the study utilises a quantitative descriptive approach, surveying 1,500 households to determine the types of waste produced, disposal practices, and the attitudes of households towards the available waste management services. Findings: Food scraps constitute the largest proportion of household waste in the district. More than 60% of respondents rely on open dumping at landfills and informal dumpsites due to limited and inconsistent formal collection services. This practice contributes to environmental pollution and increased public health risks, particularly vector-borne diseases. Although most households regularly dispose of their waste, dissatisfaction remains high because of irregular collection schedules, inadequate infrastructure, and weak management systems, indicating a gap between waste generation and service effectiveness. Conclusion: The study highlights the urgent need for integrated waste management strategies involving improved infrastructure, reliable collection services, community education, and active public participation. These efforts are necessary to enhance environmental health and promote sustainable waste management. However, the findings are based solely on self-reported survey data without observational validation. Novelty/Originality of this article: Despite this limitation, the findings provide practical guidance for promoting sustainable waste practices, including reducing open dumping, encouraging recycling, and strengthening community participation in environmentally responsible waste management
Transitivity system of the lexemes “development”, “growth”, and “sustainability” in the mass media regarding the relocation of the Indonesian capital city: An ecological discourse analysis
No full textBackground: The development, growth, and sustainability of relocating Indonesia’s national capital have become ecological crisis phenomena, making language use in mass media crucial for shaping the public perception of environmental issues. This study aims to analyze the transitivity system of the lexical items “development,” “growth,” and “sustainability” in mass media coverage of the relocation of Indonesia’s national capital. Methods: This study employs a mixed-methods design. The data consist of words and clauses sourced from news articles about the relocation of Indonesia’s national capital in media outlets Kompas.com for the years 2023–2024. Data were collected using Octoparse and Bootcat and subsequently analyzed with AntConc 4.3.1. A total of 974 articles were obtained, comprising 294,169 tokens. Concordances containing the lexemes “development,” “growth,” and “sustainability” were analyzed using transitivity theory within the Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) framework of Halliday and Matthiessen (2014). Findings: The results indicate a prevalence of material processes that foreground actions and events. The findings also reveal a dominance of non-natural resource entities as the source domain and passive participants in clauses. This transitivity pattern reflects eco-ambivalent discourse grounded in the eco-philosophy principle of “recognition of rights for all parties,” which represents an anthropocentric perspective. Conclusion: The findings reveal how Kompas.com mass media express the experiences and perspectives of stakeholders in an ambivalent manner regarding the relocation of the national capital. Novelty: The study’s novelty lies in the lexeme “development,” in the use of Kompas.com news from 2023–2024 as the object of analysis, and in the integration of diverse data-processing tools
Impact of counseling using artificial intelligence to stay well-being from mistrust and loneliness
No full textBackground: Artificial Intelligence now develop in everything, spread out rapidly around the way of life. Becoming phenomenon of using AI as counseling media would be interesting to be researched what kind of impact individual received from AI. Counseling using AI become a trend base on uncomfortable and afraid to be judged from others which launched mistrust that lead to loneliness on that individual itself, when individual achieved nothing judgment and feel accepted while telling a story with AI it builds comfortable and secure than telling to others. Methods: This research conducted two approaches by using secondary data and literature review, with Correlational Quantitative by two type sample based on domicile in Indonesia in total 237 sample in range of 18 to 39 years of age and CloudResearch based on domicile in United States in total 404 sample in range of 18 to 73 years of age. Qualitative also used to strenghten this research by doing interview using free-text response. Findings: This research found that there is subject used AI since COVID-19 Pandemic, at some AI platform difficult to split up which one come from expert and but the responses somehow shows which one answer in appropriate ways and the rest is inappropriate ways. Conclusion: Regardless the easiness and effectiveness counseling using AI, but it does not mean there is nothing impactfull in long terms such as data privacy, data credibility, bias, and informed consent. Counseling using AI is not entirely safe to do counseling. Novelty/Originality of this article: Some subject might be helped by AI, but needed supervise by psychologist, counselor, and psychiatrist to ethic and code of conduct
From jihad to terror: Deconstructing western media discourse on Islamism groups and its implications for global Muslim identity
No full textBackground: This research is based on the phenomenon of Islamophobia that occurs in global society until now due to the framing of Islam carried out by the Western world through its media. The purpose of this research is to reveal how the framing of Islam by Western media is constructed and to what extent that framing influences the identity of other Islamic groups as well as the identity of Islam itself in the public sphere. Methods: This research uses a descriptive qualitative approach using Entman’s Framing Analysis method. The data collection technique is carried out through documentary study by taking news from Western media such as Fox News, New York Post, The Telegraph, The Guardian and the results of previous research researchers in the form of statistical data related to media coverage of CNN, and BBC to then be analyzed. In addition, other data is taken from social media such as Instagram and YouTube. Findings: The results of the study indicate that following the September 11 attacks by Al Qaeda, Western media framing expanded antagonism from Al Qaeda to broader Islamic groups, such as Hamas, and ultimately to Islam itself. This framing was disseminated not only through news media but also via entertainment and social media, generating moral legitimacy to discriminate Muslims. Conclusion: This study confirms that Western media framing is systematically responsible for the emergence of Islamophobia which has an impact on the confidence of Muslims to display their religion or religious identity in public. Novelty/Originality of this article: This study implements the Framing Analysis method to analyze news from Western media in depth by applying Entman's four main elements, namely Problem Definition, Causal Interpretation, Moral Evaluation, and Treatment Recommendations. This method is effective in exploring framing efforts in news reporting in a scientific and easy to understand manner
Religiosity and well-being: An IFLS study on differences between majority and minority religious groups
No full textBackground: As a key component of well-being, happiness and life satisfaction are important issues of social welfare in sustainable development. In the context of Indonesia's multi-religious society, religiosity is believed to have an important role in shaping subjective well-being. However, the influence of religiosity on happiness may vary depending on the social position of religious groups. This study aims to examine the relationship between religiosity and subjective well-being by considering the role of religious groups (majority and minority) as moderating variables. Methods: The research data are sourced from the Indonesian Family Life Survey Wave 5 (IFLS-V) involving 24,596 adults aged 21-60 years (M = 37.4). The analysis was conducted using a moderation model with subjective well-being as the dependent variable, religiosity as the predictor variable, and religious group as the moderating variable. Findings: The results of the study indicate that religiosity has a positive role on each happiness (B = 0.068, 95% CI = 0.059 - 0.077) and life satisfaction (B = 0.156, 95% CI = 0.141 - 0.170). Minority religious groups tend to have lower levels of subjective well-being than majority religious groups. As a moderator variable, religious groups have a different role on the relationship between religiosity and each of the two indicators of subjective well-being. The religious group acts as a moderator between religiosity and happiness (B = 0.036, 95% CI = 0.006 - 0.065) where the effect is stronger for the non-Muslim group. However, the religious group does not moderate the relationship between religiosity and life satisfaction (B = 0.029, 95% CI = -0.019 - 0.077), so the effect of religiosity on increasing subjective well-being applies similarly for both groups. Conclusion: These findings confirm that the relationship between religiosity and subjective well-being is dichotomous and contextual, depending on the individual's socio-religious position. Novelty/Originality of this article: This article provides an original contribution by presenting national-scale empirical evidence on the differences in the role of religiosity on two indicators of subjective well-being between majority and minority groups in Indonesia
Foreign direct investment and the waste paradox: When environmental governance lags behind economic growth
No full textBackground: Economic growth is a primary objective for many countries, including Indonesia. Foreign direct investment (FDI) plays a significant role in driving this growth. However, focusing solely on economic expansion may overlook potential environmental consequences caused by uncontrolled foreign investment. This paper examines how FDI impacts the hazardous and toxic waste management ratio. Methods: The data were analyzed using descriptive and comparative methods to identify trends, correlations, and variations between FDI realization and key environmental indicators. The descriptive analysis summarizes data using tables, line charts, and ratios to clearly illustrate changes over time. To guide the analysis, this study adopts Miles and Huberman’s Interactive Model, providing a flexible yet systematic framework for qualitative data interpretation. Findings: The analysis reveals that rapid industrialization, particularly in the manufacturing sector, generates substantial hazardous and toxic waste that often exceeds current treatment capacity. Comparative data show that regions with higher FDI inflows correspond to higher waste generation, highlighting gaps in infrastructure, governance, and regulatory enforcement. While some companies have adopted cleaner technologies, the overall B3 management ratio remains insufficient, indicating structural weaknesses in environmental oversight. These findings underscore the need for policies that align economic growth with environmental protection, including stricter monitoring, capacity building, and promotion of green FDI. Conclusion: While FDI has boosted industrial expansion, technology transfer, and employment, hazardous waste management has lagged behind. This gap underscores the importance of integrating environmental sustainability into FDI planning and industrial policy. Novelty/Originality of this Article: This study examines the relationship between inward FDI and hazardous and toxic waste (B3) management ratio, emphasizing the urgent need for greener FDI in Indonesia
Leadership regeneration and sustainable governance in community-based tourism villages: A comparative institutional analysis
Full text linkBackground: Leadership sustainability has become a critical challenge for community-based tourism villages, particularly in governance systems that rely on informal succession and community legitimacy. While prior studies emphasize capacity building and participation, empirical attention to leadership regeneration as an institutional governance process remains limited. This study addresses this gap by examining leadership regeneration across different tourism village governance contexts. Methods: This study adopts a qualitative, theory-driven design integrating organizational theory, human capital theory, and talent management theory. Thematic coding and systematic comparative analysis were applied to secondary qualitative data from three tourism villages in Yogyakarta (Nglanggeran, Wukirsari, and Pentingsari) using multi-stage coding, interpretive synthesis, and cross-case pattern matching. Findings: The results indicate that leadership regeneration remains predominantly informal and experience-based, relying on mentoring networks, role rotation, and social legitimacy rather than structured succession systems. Villages with semi-formal governance structures exhibit stronger leadership learning routines, whereas community-centered models prioritize social cohesion over institutional continuity. Key barriers include limited administrative capacity, cultural governance norms, and weak leadership pipeline mechanisms. Youth participation emerges as a critical leverage point, particularly through digital governance innovation and creative tourism initiatives. Conclusion: Leadership regeneration should be conceptualized as a cyclical institutional process integrating governance structure, human capital circulation, leadership talent pathways, and stakeholder collaboration ecosystems. The proposed framework offers practical guidance for strengthening leadership sustainability in community-based tourism governance. These findings strengthen the understanding of leadership regeneration within community-based tourism governance and contribute to sustainable tourism governance practices in rural destinations. Novelty/Originality of this Article: This study contributes by integrating cross-theoretical perspectives with comparative empirical evidence to reconceptualize leadership regeneration as a dynamic governance system rather than a linear succession event, offering an empirically grounded and policy-relevant analytical model
