Friends and Neighbours: Electoral Geography of 2020 Local Election in Metro City, Lampung, Indonesia
This article discusses local political dynamics in Indonesia, notably in the city of Metro. There are several factors why a particular candidate is more politically electable than others, including ethno-religious factors and money. Moreover, a traditional factor that needs to be considered in the study of electoral geography is the influence of the spatial effect upon voting behaviour. In the election, demographics and geography are two important factors in voting behaviour. The local election resulted in a competitive and dynamic political contest among the local elite in Metro. The result of the 2020 local election was particularly interesting because the independent candidate won and defeated the party-based candidate. This is a mixed methods approach combining the data from interviews and a qualitative survey. This research aims to analyse the spatial factor in Metro’s local election, looking at why a certain candidate won in a particular area and how the geographical factor influenced voting behaviour. Secondly, the result of the qualitative survey supported the finding that voters still consider ethno-religious factor. The finding obtained by this research reveals two significant narratives, specifically the crucial factor of ethno-religious sentiment on voting preference and the spatial factor related to residency in securing a victory for the candidate in the local election. Essentially, research concludes that the spatial factor is of importance in the context of Metro’s local election and supports Woolstencroft's (1980) classical concept of electoral geography comprising “friends and neighbours”
Comparative Study between Indonesia and Taiwan in Protecting the Rights of Mental Health Patients: The Case of Human Shackling in Indonesia
[[abstract]]印度尼西亞有很多精神疾病患者,他們往往被束縛或被鎖在狹窄的空間裡。大約有 57,000 人患有真實或感知到的心理健康障礙。人權觀察(Human Rights Watch)最新數據顯示,印尼目前有超過18,800人生活在鐐銬中,儘管印尼政府在 1977 年已禁止使用鐐銬 ,但很多治療機構 、傳統治療師和家庭仍在進行精神疾病患者束縛。也就是說,儘管給患有精神疾病的人戴鐐銬是非法的,但它仍然是一種普遍而殘酷的做法。對於這一現象,印度尼西亞頒布了 2014 年精神衛生法,其中涵蓋了精神健康問題 ,它旨在維護精神疾病患者的權利。本論文擬研究印度尼西亞政府如何在尊重心理健康方面對待精神疾病患者、保護和實現患者的權利。除此之外,台灣作為世界上擁有完善醫療體系的國家,本研究嘗試對精神疾病患者的權利進行印尼與台灣比較研究。經由這項研究,本文發現由於監管不力,印度尼西亞的人類腳鐐數量仍然存在,主要乃因為缺乏足夠精神衛生醫院、低水平的教育和精神科醫生和其他心理健康提供者的短缺問題。印度尼西亞政府必須採取重要措施,結束束縛有心理健康問題的人的做法,以尊重、保護和實現精神疾病患者的人權。印尼政府應立即下令對所有政府和私人機構進行檢查和定期監督,並對實施束縛或虐待精神障礙患者的設施採取禁止行動。[[abstract]]Indonesia is suffering with a lot of mental health patients who have been in shackled or locked up in narrowed spaces. Approximately, there are 57,000 people with real or perceived mental health disorder and latest Human Rights Watch data shows that more than 18,800 people now live in shackled in Indonesia. Even though the government banned shackling in 1977, it’s undeniable that many institutions, traditional therapists and families are still performing human shackling. Shackling people with mental health conditions is illegal in Indonesia and yet it remains a widespread and brutal practice. Regarding to this phenomenon, Indonesia has enacted the Mental Health Law 2014 which cover mental health issues, and it aims to uphold for the rights of people with mental health disorders. Furthermore, the researchers would like to know how Indonesian government deals with the mental health patients in term of respecting, protecting and fulfilling their rights. Aside of that, the researchers also try to make comparative study with Taiwan as the country which has excellent health care system in the world. Through this research, the authors aim to show the number of the human shackling in Indonesia still persist which caused by inadequate regulations, lack of mental health hospitals, low level educations and shortage of psychiatrists and other mental health providers. By considering the condition above, the research suggests that Indonesian government has to take important steps to end the practice of shackling people with mental health conditions in order to respect, protect and fulfill the human rights of mental health patients. Moreover, the Indonesian government should immediately order inspections and regular monitoring of all government and private institutions and take action against facilities that practice shackling or abuse people with mental disorder
