This data provided by the Indonesian Central Bureau of Statisticsor Badan Pusat Statistik (BPS) offers a longitudinal on household in Indonesia. This research use sample of 2.610 household The data is analysed using Two Stage Least Square (2SLS) through variable instruments (IV). The results show that women household heads who work in the informal sector have a higher welfare than the formal sector and women household heads whoare widowed tend to have low welfare. The regional government is expected to be able to maximize human development policies to reduce the gaps of household welfare based on gender, especially for women

Urban Farming as an Alternative in Realizing Sustainable City Development in Indonesia

Urban farming has been associated with sustainable living in urbanized areas. However, theinterconnection between the two need further studies. Alternatives for promoting sustainable living is especially in important in Indonesia because urbanization in the country is expanding, while the area of productive agricultural land is decreasing. The limited spaces become a challenge for urban residents that need land for settlements, planting, green open spaces, spaces for interaction and socializing, and recreation. Therefore, urban farming presents an alternative in answering the problems caused by urbanization. This research aims to explore the interconnection of urban farming and urbanization in an effort to realize sustainable urbandevelopment. This research is the initial part of an effort to create an integrated model of urban farming for urbanization for food security for urban residents (2023-2025) in the Innovation Research for Advanced Indonesia (RIIM) scheme. This study uses qualitative methods withinformants as a sample data source. Informants were selected using a purposive sampling technique, totaling 30 urban farming actors, with details of 10 informants from Palembang City, 10 from Bandung City, and 10 from Denpasar City. Collection through the stages of observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. Data analysis uses the Miles and Hubberman Model with three stages, namely data reduction, data display, and drawing conclusions. The data validity test technique uses triangulation with the cross-check method. The results of the analysis found an interrelation between urban farming and urbanization in nine dimensions, namely; economy,social, environment, health, culture, food, education, tourism, and technology. The interrelationship between urban farming and urbanization is positive, which means that the positive impact of urban farming has an indication of minimizing the negative impact of urbanization. In addition, this interrelation is also relevant to the three principles of sustainable development, namely having the function of controlling environmental impacts to a minimum, economic and social functions

Navigating Ethics and Empathy in Disaster Photojournalism in Indonesia

This study is based on the scholars' critique of the Indonesian media reporting on disaster for focusing on vulnerable groups' suffering, sadness, and grief. The absence of comprehensive journalistic ethical guidelines for disaster published photographs in Indonesia, might contribute to the recurring choice and publication of such images in Indonesian print newspapers. Examining major disasters, including the 2004 Aceh Tsunami, the 2006 Yogyakarta and Central Java earthquake, the 2010 Mt. Merapi Eruption, and the 2015 Sumatra Forest fires, this research provides critical evidence for re-evaluating the Indonesian journalist’s codes of ethics, especially concerning the published photographs of disaster victims. Methodologically, this study draws on interviews with six Indonesian journalists and two media practitioners, exploring the ethical practices and dilemmas in photojournalism with a specific emphasis on disaster reporting in Indonesian print newspapers. The transcripts were analysed thematically, emphasising the repeating ideas or patterns present in the text. It also includes an analysis of three graphic/disturbing photographs from the 2010 Mt Merapi eruption coverage in Kompas and Kedaulatan Rakyat newspapers. The study highlights the complex balance between ensuring truthful reporting and honouring the dignity and privacy of those affected by disasters. It advocates for a nuanced method in disaster coverage that harmonizes journalistic integrity with a compassionate portrayal of victims. This research contributes to the discourse on ethical disaster photojournalism and has significant implications for policy development, journalist training programs, and the revision of journalistic codes of ethics, promoting a more empathetic and responsible approach in the field

These findings show that Sinduadi village has experienced urban sprawl marked by development trend that trespasses its under bounded city

Disability and Extreme Poverty in Indonesia: Analysis of National Socio-Economic Survey Data in 2020

Extreme poverty has become a global issue,and several studies indicate its relationship with disability. So far, there has been limited studies related to extreme poverty in Indonesia. Moreover, spesific segments, such as extreme poverty in persons with disabilities, are increasingly challenging to find. This study examines the effect of disability and other control variables on extreme poverty in Indonesia. The data is derived from the 2020 National Socio-Economic Survey (Susenas), which surveyed 1,258,328 individuals. The data was processed using STATA 17 software. The method used in this study is logistic regression by observing disability as the primary independent variable and other socio-demographic variables as control variables. Our analysis show that disability has a positive and significant relationship with extreme poverty. Control variables such as residence area, age group, sex, education, number of household members, marital status, and employment sector also play a role in influencing extreme individual poverty. These findings are expected to be able to enrich literature relatedto disability and extreme poverty in Indonesia as well as to provide input for the government in efforts to eradicate extreme poverty by paying attention to vulnerable groups,especially persons with disabilities

Crimes, Hegemony, and Politics: Premanism in Yogyakarta during The New Order

Indonesian democracy, despite being praised as an example of democracy in Muslim majority country, has been marked with the important role of non-state actors in influencing the social, economic, and political conditions of a society that are outside the government structure. One of the actors who play an important role in influencing the condition of society is the presence ofthugs and their acts of thuggery. This pattern of politics can be traced back to the ear of New Order. This research attempts to reveal and describe the actions carried out by thugs and their impact on the lives of the people of Yogyakarta during the New Order era. The method usedis the oral history method by interviewing the actors of non-state politics in Yogyakarta, primarily prominent young paramilitary or thug groups including Joxzin, Qizruh, Pemuda Pancasila and their relations with major political parties at that time, Golkar, PDIP and PPP. Thisresearch reveals that during the New Order era, thugs in Yogyakarta collaborated and cooperated with political forces. Political power utilizes thugs as a force that can suppress political opponents with violence and as a means of gaining votes in elections. Meanwhile, thugsjoin political forces with the intention of seeking political protection for their criminal acts and as a means of pursuing a career for a better future. Golkar in Yogyakarta used the mass organization Pemuda Pancasila (PP) as an element that could be used to suppress and intimidatepolitical opponents. Meanwhile, PPP and PDI used their party’s laskars (paramilitary wing) in securing and dealing with the violence they faced. The main strength of the laskars in PPP and PDI actually came from the wild youth organizations, namely Joxzin and Qizruh. For the twogroups, known for their violent repertoires, this presents an alternative to express themselves and a place to find identity. When the New Order rule ended in 1988, Qizruh leaders joined PP which meant supporting Golkar, and several other leaders chose to support PDI. Meanwhile,Joxzin’s elders had many careers as the main force of the laskars in PPP

Paguyuban “Tuk Bebeng” and Community Strength-Based Water Management in Disaster-Prone Areas of Merapi, Yogyakarta

Water management in disaster-prone areas such as Merapi often creates various social vulnerabilities such as social conflicts, poverty and weakened role of local organizations. The exclusion of the role of local organizations in community-based water management is often overlooked. A local community organization called Tuk Bebeng that work on water management in the sloop of the Merapi volacne in Yogyakarta is an example of such an overlooked role of an important actor in disasterprone areas. This paper aims to examine the strength the Tuk Bebeng Association in water management in disaster-prone areas of Merapi. This research is basedon a descriptive qualitative method with data collection through field observations, in-depth interviews, and focused discussion forums. The results of the study show that the Tuk Bebeng Association has played important roles in eliminating various sectoral conflicts of interest.This good practice is carried out through the strong base of the community’s collectivity which manifest in two forms including mechanical solidarity and moral rationality. Through these roels the Tuk Bebeng community serves as guardians of the balance of harmony between nature and society. The pattern of life of the people around Merapi, namely Se omah, Guyub, dan se-rahim(common home, harmony, and the same homeland), as the glue of brotherhood can act as a damper for anger and compromise in the cross-linking of interests in water management. The practical implications of this research offer realistic practices to reduce the cross- interest (conflict) that occurs by providing space for important actors managing Tuk Bebeng to dialogue equally, and empowering the underrepresented Paguyuban Bebeng actors with legal formal and cultural recognition that Tuk Bebeng belongs to the Merapi community. Theoretical implications show that rationality and solidarity theories have a strong relationship in mobilising collective action in communities in disaster-prone areas.
