The Battle for Urban Space: Dynamics of Spatial Change In Siak, Riau, Indonesia
Full text linkThis study aims to examine the implications of changes in urban space as a result of the implementation of government policies in the development and expansion of the city of Siak on the existence of community space and how the community seizes and utilizes spaces of the industry and government to maintain their subsistence economic life. This study uses a rapid ethnography approach. Researchers conduct a desk study before fieldwork to obtain an initial research report. Researchers stayed in Siak District for 40 days to conduct observations, in-depth interviews, informal conversations, and stakeholder discussions. We conducted Focus Group Discussions (FGD) in the four research villages. The event was attended by 28 participants from four villages, comprising village heads, homemakers, peasants, small traders/street vendors, freelance workers, and NGOs at the district level. The study shows that the four research villages have changed from subsistence community spaces to industrial and government spaces. In this research, the community space is becoming increasingly limited, so people carry out two strategies in seizing industrial and government spaces, namely using government spaces to become places for work and business and controlling industrial spaces, Even though this can give rise to latent and manifest tenure conflicts, corporate and society\u27s urban space becomes an arena for struggling for the means of production represented through control and ownership of space. Society must adapt to these conditions to obtain space for them. Government policies in developing and expanding the city of Siak have not taken the community\u27s interests as the primary goal
Orang NTT: Diaspora Communities and Multiculturalism in Bali
Full text linkThe cultural interaction of Orang NTT with local communities in Bali has implications for forming a multicultural society. Although there have been previous studies on migration and ethnicity, few have examined East Nusa Tenggara ethnicity in the Bali region. This research aims to understand the cultural interaction between Orang NTT and local communities in Bali and how they contribute to the social harmony and the formation of a multicultural society in Bali. This qualitative research was conducted in Denpasar City (the center of the government) and Badung Regency (the center of tourism) in Bali. I combined observation and in-depth interviews as my data collection methods. Ten informants were interviewed: seven Orang NTT, two Balinese, two Flobamora community leaders, a Christian religious leader, and an entrepreneur. The study shows that push and pull factors influence how Orang NTT migrate to Bali. While the push factors include the economic and educational conditions in NTT and the attractiveness offered by Bali as a destination for NTT migration; pull factors comprise better economic opportunities, better access to education, and better life opportunities. In addition, Orang NTT in Bali plays an important role in strengthening cultural diversity and social harmony in the local community. These findings have important implications for society\u27s understanding of social integration and how minority groups contribute to forming a harmonious multicultural society. The study contributes to the understanding on how Orang NTT migrate from the eastern region to Bali, while providing new insights into how social and cultural interactions can shape multicultural identity in a region. This can serve as a basis for the development of local policies related to diversity and as a reference for studies on diaspora and the formation of multicultural communities in other regions.Berakhirnya era Orde Baru di Indonesia pada umumnya dan di Bali pada khususnya memberikan peluang bagi bangkitnya kesadaran etnisitas, identitas dan munculnya komunitas diaspora, yang berujung pada menguatnya kehidupan masyarakat multikultur. Masyarakat Bali pada umumnya berkecimpung dalam pekerjaan yang soft-skilled, sebagai akibat pengaruh perkembangan Jawa Hindu dari berbagai kerajaan dari belahan barat pulau Bali. Perkembangan dunia pariwisata yang menuntut pembangunan infrastruktur diharapkan dapat mengisi kekosongan dalam konteks penyediaan tenaga kerja kasar. Kondisi ini memberikan peluang bagi etnis yang berasal dari timur, yaitu wilayah Nusa Tenggara Timur atau orang NTT. Pada kenyataannya, mereka dianggap sebagai etnis minoritas di Bali yang berasal dari etnis Sumba, Flores, dan Timor yang menjalankan profesinya dalam pekerjaan kasar. Di satu sisi, terjadi relasi sosial yang memunculkan riak-riak sosial antara mayoritas dan minoritas, namun di sisi lain, memperkuat terbentuknya masyarakat multikultural. Tujuan dari penelitian ini untuk mengkaji kontribusi dari kelompok minoritas terhadap dinamika msyarakat Bali dengan mendiskusikan pertanyaan mengapa kehadiran etnis minoritas dipandang dapat memberikan kontribusi terhadap pembentukan masyarakat Bali yang multikultural. Representasi etnis minoritas ini tidak hanya sebagai ancaman di satu sisi, tetapi sebagai peluang. Hasil kajian ini menunjukkan bahwa kehadiran label Flobamora, etnisitas, identitas dan komunitas diaspora sangat berpengaruh dalam pembentukan Bali sebagai masyarakat multikultura
TITIK BALIK SEKSUALITAS DI KALANGAN KAUM MUDA
No full textThis article explores the shifting meaning of sexuality among urban adolescents, particularly females, highlighting a trend towards the desacralization of intimate relationships. This issue is critical as it reflects the broader transformation of social values and cultural norms influenced by globalization, social media, and gender awareness. In addition, this study also responds to the lack of studies that address lifestyle and prostitution in a more reflective and anthropological manner. Using a qualitative approach, this research was conducted in Yogyakarta involving five female university students and who are also prostitutes. Data was collected by conducting observations and conducting in-depth interviews. The main findings show that social media and pop culture play an important role in accelerating the desacralization of sexuality, while traumatic experiences contribute to risky sexual behavior. This study concludes that the desacralization of sexuality among adolescents is influenced by bad sexual experiences, and that social media and pop culture encourage more permissive sexual expressions, shifting meanings of sexuality among adolescents have shaped more flexible perceptions of sexuality. The study recommends developing sexual education policies that are inclusive and responsive to changing social norms, as well as raising awareness of the long-term impact of sexual trauma on adolescents.Pergeseran makna seksualitas di kalangan kaum muda telah menjadi fenomena sosial di era globalisasi. Hubungan seksual yang sebelumnya dianggap sakral melalui ikatan pernikahan, saat ini telah mengalami pergeseran pemaknaan dan menjadi sebuah hubungan yang dianggap biasa saja melalui perilaku seks bebas di kalangan remaja. Studi ini mencoba untuk menjelaskan fenomena tersebut dengan melihat perilaku seksual yang dilakukan oleh lima mahasiswi di Yogyakarta. Sehingga studi ini berfokus pada pertanyaan “Bagaimana makna seksualitas telah bergeser di kalangan kaum muda? Untuk menjawab pertanyaan tersebut, studi ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif untuk menjelaskan faktor yang sangat kompleks dan merubah persepsi remaja terhadap seksualitas dan mendorong mereka pada perilaku seks bebas melalui prostitusi. Temuan dari studi menunjukkan bahwa pergeseran makna seksualitas di kalangan remaja disebabkan karena pengalaman buruk seksual yang pernah dialami, pengaruh media dan budaya pop, serta berubahnya makna sosial dan gender yang mendorong remaja perempuan pada perilaku seks bebas. Prostitusi menjadi alternatif yang dipilih sebagai pengekspresian seksual dengan tujuan untuk memperoleh kebahagiaan seks tanpa melalui komitmen hubungan sosial. Kesimpulan dari studi ini menunjukkan bahwa bergesernya makna seksualitas di kalangan kaum muda disebabkan oleh pengaruh internal melalui dorongan psikologis akibat pengalaman buruk seksualitas yang pernah dialami dan pengaruh eksternal melalui lingkungan dan budaya pop yang menjadi fenomena sosial saat ini. Penelitian ini merekomendasikan agar bergesernya makna seksualitas di kalangan remaja dijelaskan dengan mencari data yang berasal dari remaja di berbagai kalangan yang terlibat dalam perilaku seks bebas dan menggunakan informan lebih banyak untuk memperoleh pemahaman yang lebih komprehensif dari fenomena tersebut.
 
Pemertahanan Bahasa sebagai Konstruksi Identitas pada Masyarakat Adat Jalawastu di Brebes Jawa Tengah
No full textStudies on indigenous communities have been conducted with various results on cultural elements as their research focus. Language, as one of those elements, is an essential factor in the survival of the traditions and beliefs. This article discusses how the Jalawastu community maintains their indigenous language of Brebes Sundanese dialect in Javanese-speaking culture in Central Java. The novelty of this study was to discover how the traditional community perceived their language, why they needed to maintain it, and what obstacles they had in the process. This ethnographic research was conducted in Jalawastu Cultural Village in Desa Ciseureuh, Kecamatan Ketanggungan, Kabupaten Brebes between October 2022 and May 2023. Data was collected using in-depth interviews and observation. Those who participated in this study were kuncen, (cultural council chief), pemangku adat (traditional ruler), kepala dusun (the village chief), and Jalawastu community member. The study revealed that the community attempted to maintain their dialect because they viewed the importance of their language in their daily verbal interaction, both in social activities and rituals, and the need to hold their social identity as Jalawastu village members. The attempt to preserve the use of the language was based on the social belief, that is, to respect their ancestors in order to avoid misfortunes. These efforts were once hindered when the provincial government imposed the language policy to teach only Javanese in elementary schools instead of Sundanese. With Brebes Bupati\u27s regional decrees, they could eventually teach back the language in formal elementary schools
