FITTED SHARIA IN DEMOCRATIZING INDONESIA

This article argues that the so-called sharia-inspired regulations have been locally fitted through democratic processes that engaged together the elected legislative body and the executive office as well as various social groups. It bases on a qualitative fieldwork in Cianjur, a district in West Java Indonesia. There are three underpinning factors to the fitted sharia. First, it is possible because the discursive elements of sharia that enabled the Islamists to find a local and perhaps diluted, and more moderate formulation of sharia. Second, social diversity with no single group predominating required compromise and political alliance within and between the Islamist and non-Islamist groups. Third, the so-called sharia has number of secular functions related to politics, economy, and local custom that eventually brought the contesting groups to compromise. Thus, the resurgence of the sharia-inspired regulation is driven by various factors ranging from religiosity and piety to the practical and pragmatic reasons

Innovation of Utilization of Materials Research and Development Results in the Framework of Fulfilling the Defense Equipment of the Indonesian Army (Case Study of Battlefield Management System)

This study aims to map policy innovations downstream of material R&D results, especially the Battlefield Management System (BMS) in fulfilling the independent and modern defense equipment of the Indonesian Army. This research was conducted using a qualitative method and a case study strategy. The determination of the research location is based on the existence of phenomena in research and development activities carried out within the Indonesian Army. This study used qualitative research methods to explain the research problem in-depth. Determination of informants/resource persons based on purposive sampling resulted in six people consisting of officials who formulate the R&D policies of the Indonesian Army, officials from elements of R&D activities implementing the Battlefield Management System, elements from domestic defense industry actors in the R&D activities of the Battlefield Management System, as well as elements from researchers/teachers and military observers from non-governmental organizations. Furthermore, the data analysis was carried out based on the theories and concepts of public policy and then the data interpretation process was carried out. The result of this study is the public policy innovations in realizing downstream policies. BMS is the result of innovation which is proven to meet the 13 determinants of innovation. Downstream policies play a role in realizing BMS products in the fulfillment of the defense equipment of the Indonesian Army. BMS is a modern defense equipment of the Indonesian Army, fulfilling aspects of complexity, technological progress and speed. Although not-yet fully realized due to the not-yet optimal of the triple helix policy, BMS products based on independence still face problems that there are still conflict of interests, research funding, production costs and indications of weak political will of the Indonesian Army to use domestic products. Recommendations from this research are the need for prioritization, continuous and consistent budgeting and procurement (mass production) and budgeting for superior material R&D results as a form of reward. In addition, there is a need for policies and regulations that can protect the products of material R&D against the competitiveness of similar products from abroad

Integration of Eco-Feminism and Islamic Values: A Case Study of Pesantren Ath-Thaariq Garut, West Java

This paper aims to study the integration of eco-feminism and Islam conducted by women activist of pesantren Ath-Thariq, Garut, West Java, in their attempt to conserve the nature. They are highly concerned with this issue as a response towards environmental crisis in Indonesia, especially in Garut. Additionally, there are only a few Muslimah activists that have so far been involved in such a movement. Against this backdrop, this study portrays the ways and results of the integration of eco-feminism and Islam as conducted by women activists of the respective pesantren. In doing so, this qualitative study employs feminism method. The subject of research includes women activists of pesantren Ath-Tariq. It finds the following. Through ontology, the women activist of the pesantren believe that there is no dualism of human being and nature. They protect, preserve, and love nature with a concept of rahmatan li al-‘ālamīn. Through epistemological approach, they integrate local knowledge and Islam to interact with nature. They also implement the principles of heterogenity, human-nature inter-dependability, and the holiness of nature. They believe that caring for nature is a form of religious piety and an alm. Thus, the novelty of this research is a new model of integration between Islam and eco-femism through ontological and epistemological approaches based on empirical experiences of women. It is hoped that women activists could apply this model in protecting and conserving the environment in other places

Youth Leadership Development through the Patriot Desa Program of West Java

The national Youth Development Index (YDI) is still fluctuating. One of the provinces with a lower percentage change in YDI than expected is West Java, which is at the bottom of the list. This is ironic considering that 20% of Indonesia's total youth reside in West Java. In fact, during period 2018-2023, many programs were launched which focused on youth development, such as Patriot Desa. The presence of the Patriot Desa Program did not make the value of Youth Participation and Leadership increase. Therefore, this research aims to find out how the Patriot Desa Program impacts youth leadership development in West Java. The methodology used in this research is qualitative with a case study approach. The research was conducted in Sukaharja and Sukamakmur Village, Sukamakmur Sub-district, Bogor Regency. Data collection techniques through interviews the representatives of the West Java DPMD, Patriot Desa, village secretaries, youth organizations, and local champions. The program followed by young people who became Patriot Desas was able to have an impact on the development of individual and social leadership. In particular, the village patriots who served in the research locations were highly dedicated with a self-sacrificing attitude and always collaborated with various parties, so that they were able to bring about changes in the village in social, economic and environmental aspects. However, these things are also inseparable from the influence of pre-deployment orientation and the role of the regional coordinator who is very supportive as a mentor. Youth involvement in community empowerment programs can be a means of developing youth leadership. Therefore, the government needs to involve more youth in other programs so that there is an increase in the domain value of youth participation and leadership

The contestation of social memory in the new media: a case study of the 1965 killings in Indonesia

While today's Indonesian democratic government remains committed to the New Order orthodoxy about the mass killings of 1965, new counter-narratives challenging official history are emerging in the new media. Applying mixed-methods and multi-sited ethnography, this study aims to extend our collaborative understanding of the most recent developments in this situation by identifying multiple online interpersonal stories, deliberations, and debates related to the case as well as offline field studies in Java and Bali. Practically and theoretically, we ask how the tragedy of the 1965 killings is contested in the new media and how social memory plays out in this contestation. The study finds that new media potentially act as emancipatory sites channeling and liberating the voices of those that the nation has stigmatized as "objectively guilty". We argue that the arena of contestation is threefold: individual, public vs. state narrative, and theoretical. As such, the transborder space of the new media strongly mediates corrective new voices to fill missing gaps in the convoluted history of this central event of modern Indonesian history

School Information System Innovation by Eduversal through Edunav Implementation in Indonesia: A Case Study at SMP-SMA Kesatuan Bangsa Bilingual Boarding School Yogyakarta

Technological innovation is a science which will continue to develop over time, therefore knowledge, skills, and understanding are needed in life, especially in educational institutions. Many researchers have conducted studies on educational system innovations because the implementation of information systems in educational institutions has made a positive contribution to education management. The existence of an educational information system provides convenience in communicating, exchanging information quickly and accurately, as well as an increase in educational services. This research is based on the implementation of the Edunav Information System as an information system innovation which is applied to educational institutions. Edunav is an application for student progress reports in learning in the form of e-reports. The form of the reported activity from the learning process includes attendance, homework, quizzes, unit tests and so on. This study aims to uncover the factors which drive the Edunav Information System to be implemented and the benefits derived from it at the SMP-SMA Kesatuan Bangsa Bilingual Boarding School Yogyakarta. The method used in this research is a qualitative research method with a case study approach. The data of this research are obtained from in-depth interviews, observation, and literature study. In-depth interviews were conducted with several informants by means of a snowball. The results of this study show that there are several factors which encourage the implementation of the Edunav Information System at the Kesatuan Bangsa School, which are 1) complex problems occur in the field as there is no integrated system; 2) manual data processing which is recorded in books; 3) the existence of school initiatives to make changes from conventional to digital schools by increasing the use of information technology; 4) increasing competitiveness among schools is significant, especially for private schools. The perceived benefits of the Edunav Information System are 1) as an information system for schools, parents, and students; 2) as a media to support education; 3) as a means of control for schools, parents and students

Development of an innovation ecosystem model in handling the covid-19 in Indonesia

Technological innovation in the medical area is vital when the COVID-19 pandemic strikes, including in Indonesia. One of the essential innovations is a health facility for infection testing. Through the TFRIC-19 program, several Indonesian researchers have developed a mobile laboratory named Mobile Lab Biosafety Level 2 (MBSL2). MBSL2 is one of the medical innovations from the TFRIC-19 program as a measure to handle the COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia. TFRIC-19 is an innovation system initiated by government institutions in the RnD area. Establishing TFRIC-19 was the initial step in handling the COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia. This research aims to identify the actor's role in developing MBSL2. The technique uses the Ecosystem Pie Model (EPM) approach for analysis. It was found that the most essential aspect of creating innovation is collaboration between involved actors
