2024-09-02T04:48:05+00:00

This research discusses political movements and civil disobedience which can be seen from the abstention behavior of the Bumi Segandu Indramayu Hindu-Buddhist Dayak Indigenous Community. This research aims to explain the behavior of the Bumi Segandu Indramayu Hindu-Buddhist Dayak Indigenous Community for abstention from the 2004 elections to the 2008 West Java regional elections and the factors that influenced it. This research uses descriptive research methods with a qualitative approach with ethnographic types. The results of this research reveal that the abstention behavior of the Bumi Segandu Indramayu Hindu-Buddhist Dayak Indigenous Community in Losarang District is a social movement that has developed into civil disobedience. There are two factors that influence the community's abstention, namely: 1) the existence of cultural values that influence the existence of the community, namely belief in nature which prioritizes elements of justice; and 2) the community's dislike for the conditions created during the New Order era until now. For this reason, the Bumi Segandu Indramayu Hindu-Buddhist Dayak Traditional Community dares to face all forms of challenges that oppose its existence and continues to carry out its activities with the aim of making their existence and form of existence acceptable to society.

Review of Slum Management Policies in Urban Areas

2024-09-02T04:46:15+00:00

Urban slum areas in Indonesia began to feel very disruptive to city mechanisms and dynamics in the late 70s, so the government launched Village Improvement programs such as the Moh Slum Improvement Program. Husni Thamrin in Jakarta, Dewi Sartika Village Improvement Program in Bandung, and other village improvements carried out in big cities in Indonesia. While these programs have not been able to solve existing problems, city dynamics are running so fast, especially after reform. The development of cities with very high population pressure is beyond the government's ability to control them. On the other hand, the need for employment and business is very large due to the financial crisis and the phenomenon of job cuts (PHK), because many companies are going bankrupt. This problem must be borne by the city ecosystem which has many limitations. People in every city, because they are pressured by the necessities of life, can do business in urban areas wherever they think there is a chance to live. In this situation, the growth of slum areas in urban areas not only occurs in residential areas, but also occurs in business areas and along road routes which are still possible to use as places of business and residence. Of course, this cannot be tolerated, and the government needs to respond through appropriate policies now and in the future, considering that slum areas are now evenly distributed to all cities in Indonesia and not only in big cities.

With a more dominant economic background and low human resources, women are often powerless to get out of the problems that come to them. Even though it is widely depicted in the media about the grim portrait of migrant workers in various cases, the number of migrant workers continues to increase from year to year. Some of the underlying points are that the employment opportunities available at home are limited and labour wages abroad are much higher than those at home.
