The Legal Standing of the Anak Dalam Tribe in Initiating Class Action Lawsuits Regarding Land Disputes
No full textThis article examines the persistent influence of legal formalism within Indonesia’s civil justice system and its implications for the protection of Indigenous Peoples’ customary land rights, particularly through class action litigation and the doctrine of legal standing. Land disputes involving Indigenous communities reflect structural injustice, as legal recognition remains heavily dependent on administrative validation rather than historical, social, and cultural realities. Consequently, Indigenous Peoples often face significant barriers in accessing justice, despite constitutional acknowledgment of their existence and rights. Using normative legal research, this study analyzes statutory frameworks, judicial decisions, and doctrinal approaches governing class actions and legal standing in Indonesia. The findings demonstrate that existing procedural mechanisms frequently marginalize Indigenous communities by imposing rigid standing requirements and evidentiary standards that are incompatible with their collective and customary social structures. Rather than functioning as instruments of empowerment, class actions often reproduce exclusion through excessive proceduralism. The study argues that Indigenous marginalization stems not from the absence of substantive rights, but from the dominance of formalistic reasoning that prioritizes administrative legality over substantive justice. To address this imbalance, the article proposes a normative reconstruction of civil procedural law, including the establishment of a lex specialis on class actions and Indigenous legal standing, the contextual reinterpretation of standing doctrines, the integration of ecological and social justice principles, and the adoption of participatory and culturally responsive judicial approaches. These reforms are essential to ensure equitable access to justice within Indonesia’s plural legal system
A Comparative Study of Anti-Corruption Education in Indonesia, Malaysia, Mexico, and Ukraine
Full text linkThis paper examines the effectiveness of anti-corruption education in bringing about genuine behavioral change or merely reinforcing political rhetoric, while highlighting the institutional and social contexts across different countries. The practices of anti-corruption education in Indonesia, Malaysia, Mexico, and Ukraine are the main focus of this article. In Indonesia and Malaysia, although anti-corruption education program have been implemented in schools and universities, their impact remains limited due to weak law enforcement and inconsistent institutional support. In Mexico, initiatives such as the Sistema Nacional Anticorrupción (SAN) seek to integrate education and citizen oversight, yet remain constrained by political interests and deeply rooted patronage culture. Meanwhile, in Ukraine, the legacy of Soviet bureaucracy with its entrenched informality and patronage practices makes it difficult for anti-corruption education to translate into collective behavioral change. These findings underscore that the success of anti-corruption education is highly dependent on the political context, institutional strength, and the coherence between the values taught and a consistently applied legal system. Thus, anti-corruption education must be coupled with institutional reform and the strengthening of the rule of law in order to transcend rhetoric and achieve genuine behavioral transformation
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Spatial Planning for Mining Exploitation Rights in Forest Area
No full textThis study aims to analyse and criticise the application of sustainable development principles in forest spatial planning. The research method used is normative juridical research, and the approach used is the context and statutory approaches. The study results show that law in the primary sector must refer to sustainable development and people's welfare. Forest destruction cannot be considered a consequence of activities in this sector; it also reflects the failure of spatial planning in an area. The embodiment of spatial planning that can realise environmental preservation must lead to how the law exists in the community. The community around the forest area, as the leading actor, plays a crucial role in controlling and protecting the forest, and their involvement is vital for successful environmental preservation. An extraordinary, measurable, planned, and directed spatial arrangement is urgently and significantly needed. This is done so that the living environment is maintained and planned. Good planning is expected to lead to good spatial use, but this requires consistent management so that environmental sustainability remains aligned with spatial planning scenarios.
Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis dan mengkritisi tata ruang dalam pinjam pakai kawasan hutan dalam hubungannya dengan prinsip-prinsip pembangunan berkelanjutan. Metode penelitian yang digunakan ialah penelitian yuridis normatif dan pendekatan yang digunakan adalah pendekatan konseptual, dan pendekatan perundang-undangan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa hukum di sektor kehutanan harus mengacu kepada pembangunan berkelanjutan dan kesejahteraan rakyat. Kerusakan hutan tidak dapat dianggap sebagai konsekuensi dari kegiatan di sektor kehutanan, kerusakan tersebut juga mencerminkan gagalnya penataan ruang di suatu daerah. Perwujudan tata ruang yang dapat mewujudkan pelestarian lingkungan hidup harus mengarah kepada bagaimana hukum yang ada di masyarakat, karena masyarakat sekitar Kawasan hutan dapat menjadi aktor utama pengendali dan penjaga hutan itu sendiri. Atas dasar hal tersebut dibutuhkan penataan ruang yang terukur, terencana dan terarah yang bersifat extraordinary, ini dilakukan agar lingkungan hidup tetap terjaga dan terencana. Perencanaan yang baik diharapkan dapat mengarah pada pemanfaatan ruang yang baik, namun hal ini membutuhkan tata kelola yang konsisten agar kelestarian lingkungan hidup tetap sejalan dengan skenario penataan ruang
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
Illegal levies in education funding in Indonesia: an analysis of experiences from Jambi Province
No full textIndonesia’s 1998 reforms resulted in numerous significant changes to improve the country’s development, including education policy. The central and regional governments set aside at least 20% of their revenue and expenditure budgets for various programs to improve the country’s educational quality each year. Utilizing community engagement to manage school finances can contribute to the long-term viability of the education sector. However, it is essential to acknowledge that this approach also risks fostering corruption. This article examines the impact of the school budget reform on the corruption involving crowdfunding in Indonesia. The data for this study are analyzed using interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) and a qualitative phenomenological methodology. The data was gathered via comprehensive interviews with a sample of participants who represented diverse backgrounds. The findings emphasize that the community’s involvement in school funding has led to the emergence of a novel type of corruption, as the funds collected are, in fact, illegal fees for education. Therefore, it is strongly advised that local governments establish regional policies concerning the allocation of funds for education and ensure the active involvement of the community in managing these funds
