Women, Law, and Maqashid Syari’ah: An Analysis of Protection in Indonesia and Malaysia

This study aims to analyze the concept of women's protection as implemented in the legal systems of Indonesia and Malaysia through the perspective of maqashid syari’ah. This is because women are a vulnerable group, prone to discrimination, violence, and limited access to justice. In the context of positive law, for example, both countries have regulatory instruments to provide protection for women, such as the Law on the Elimination of Domestic Violence (PKDRT Law) in Indonesia and the Domestic Violence Act 1994 in Malaysia. However, in reality, there is still a gap between the idealism of the law and the practice of protection. Using a qualitative-comparative approach, this study compares the concepts and principles of women's protection in Indonesia and Malaysia with reference to the fundamental theory of Islamic law (maqashid syari’ah). As a result of the study, this study shows that Indonesia and Malaysia place the protection of women as part of the fulfillment of basic rights, despite differences in legal approaches, institutional structures, and policy implementation. This study also emphasizes that the integration of maqashid syari’ah values into the national legal system can be strengthened through the legitimization of women's protection to create a legal system that is fair, responsive, and inclusive of contemporary challenges. This study also opens up space for reflection on the development of contemporary Islamic law that is not only normative but also serves as a solution in facing the dynamics and challenges of the modern world

The political relationship between Indonesia and China has become a force recognized by the world in a symbiotic relationship of mutualism in the economic and political fields

Penelitian ini dilakukan secara kualitatif menggunakan pendekatan Multi-Level Perspective (MLP) untuk menganalisis proses pembelajaran sosial dalam pengembangan pariwisata di permukiman informal. Temuan menunjukkan bahwa pembentukan Kelompok Sadar Wisata (Pokdarwis) oleh Dinas Pariwisata Kota Malang berperan penting dalam mengelola dan menjaga keberlanjutan kampung wisata. Namun, pandemi COVID-19 memberikan tekanan pada sektor pariwisata yang menyebabkan penurunan jumlah wisatawan dan penutupan sementara. Relasi kekuasaan dan komunikasi terbuka memainkan peran krusial dalam proses penataan ini, di mana inisiatif masyarakat dan sektor swasta membutuhkan persetujuan dari otoritas terkait.

One of the solutions adopted is the reorganization of settlements through colorful painting. The case study of Kampung Warna-Warni Jodipan in Malang shows how transformation through colorful painting not only improves aesthetics but also enhances the local economy and quality of life through tourism development. This research was conducted qualitatively using the Multi-Level Perspective (MLP) approach to analyze the social learning process in tourism development in informal settlements. The findings show that the formation of Tourism Awareness Groups (Pokdarwis) by the Malang City Tourism Office plays an important role in managing and maintaining the sustainability of tourism villages. However, the COVID-19 pandemic put pressure on the tourism sector causing a decrease in the number of tourists and temporary closures. Power relations and open communication play a crucial role in this structuring process, where community and private sector initiatives require approval from relevant authorities. Discussion forums and interactive dialogues between residents and tourism managers help create a common understanding and collective action to maintain cleanliness and tourist satisfaction. Through participatory communication, the community can understand and contribute to the sustainability of tourism development. Keywords: Social Learning; Tourism Development; Informal Settlements; Jodipan Village; Multi-Level Perspective (MLP)

PRONUNCIATION CHALLENGES OF MANDARIN PHONEMES ZH, CH, SH, D, AND T AMONG SMPIT CHENG HOO MAKASSAR STUDENTS

The differences in the phonological systems between Indonesian and Mandarin often cause difficulties for learners, especially in the consonant sounds zh, ch, sh, d, and t which do not have direct equivalents in Indonesian. These pronunciation difficulties, especially in junior high school students, are not free from errors in pronouncing the consonants h, ch, sh, d, and t, so this study shows and describes the form of pronunciation difficulties of the consonants zh, ch, sh, d, and t directly in grade IX students of SMP IT Cheng Hoo Makassar, and identifies the factors causing these difficulties. The research method used in this study is descriptive qualitative with 15 students as subjects. Data were collected through pronunciation tests, syllable tests, observations, structured interviews, and audio recordings. The results showed that most students had difficulty pronouncing the retroflex consonants zh and ch, as well as the aspirated consonant t. Errors that emerged included difficulties in tongue articulation, failure to distinguish between aspirated and non-aspirated sounds, and interference from Indonesian, for example, zh is pronounced as j and t is pronounced as d. Physiological factors such as a stiff tongue position also affect pronunciation accuracy. In conclusion, ninth-grade students of SMP IT Cheng Hoo Makassar still face significant challenges in pronouncing certain consonants in Mandarin. These findings emphasize the need for more targeted phonetic teaching strategies, such as explicit articulation exercises and the use of audio-visual media, so that students can improve their accuracy and confidence in speaking Mandarin
