UNDERSTANDING RELIGIOUS VIOLENCE IN INDONESIA: Theological, Structural and Cultural Analyses

Lately Indonesia is facing a lot of tremendous experience about religious violence. Indonesian Islam which is previously assumed as peaceful religion is suddenly changing to be frightening religion. The destruction in some places such as Bali Bombing, JW Marriot Bombing, and Sampang riot in some places Islam is the trigger of religious violence. This paper discusses the repetition of religious violence in Indonesia especially after New Order era. The writer argues that religious violence in Indonesia is as natural disaster, historical process in human evolution and as close experience that presenting and relating to human history. It may be caused by political condition and the response to economic injustice. In doing so, it is kind of social acceleration toward the process of change and also being a factor of the emergence of new agenda. This is because every disaster, including religious violence, requires an adjustment and a new formulation of the functions that have been damaged

The Sasak People of Lombok: Indigenous Communities at The Crossroads of Globalization

This article focuses on changes that have taken place among Lombok’s indigenous communities, including Sasak Bayan, Sasak Sade, and Sasak Ende. This study found that in the context of thick globalization where information technology is the driving force, the indigenous communities are no longer as the objects of the global cultural market. Instead, they are given the freedom to choose and sort out values that they consider good and appropriate with their needs. In addition, they also exercise the freedom of expression. However, the problem lies in the fact that their choices and ways of expressions are quite often violating old loyalties they have agreed. The communities of Sasak Bayan, Sasak Sade and Sasak Ende provide important information on how indigenous communities respond creatively to globalization based on their needs

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to present the results of an analysis of economic growth on employment in Lampung Province. Analysis to look for patterns of relationships, underlying causes, and policies that can be taken to deal with employment problems in Lampung Province. Because, the development process is based on equal distribution of employment opportunities. Balanced employment opportunities are an important factor in the success of economic growth. In essence, if you want to experience good economic growth, it is expected to be able to open many jobs.   Theoretical framework: Recent literature has reported econometric analysis using the least squares regression equation model that the R2 regression number of 0.991 indicates a fairly strong influence. The economic growth of a region has an impact on employment. This research is Labor Intensive in nature as evidenced by the results of the research which reveal that to be able to see an area that is developing economically can be seen through the absorption of the workforce that is carried out. In line with Meyer's (2017) statement that scarce job opportunities lead to high levels of poverty and inequality.   Design/Methodology/Approach: To obtain a clearer picture of the patterns and effects of the relationship between economic growth and labor absorption that occurs in the districts studied, an analysis is divided into 2 stages, namely: 1) Descriptive Analysis, and 2) Econometric Analysis. Descriptive analysis is done by presenting data in tables and graphs. Descriptive analysis is used to answer research objective number 1.  The econometric analysis was carried out using panel data which was used to determine the effect of economic growth and several other variables on labor absorption in Lampung Province.   Findings: Results of this research of calculations and discussion, can be said that employment in PT Lampung Province is influenced by PDRB (Economic Growth), Total Population, High School Graduates, and Regional Minimum Wages. GDP has in relation to the total employed persons. The total population has a positive relationship with the number of working populations. The number of people who graduate from high school has a positive relationship with the total working population. Regional minimum wages have a positive impact on the number of people employed.   Research,  practical  &  social  implications: I suggest that further research does not only focus on presenting the results of an analysis of economic growth on employment. Because many factors are deemed necessary to collaborate to find out what can support economic growth.   Originality/Value: The finding that there is a positive relationship between the number of individual high school graduates who have jobs. The regional minimum wage has a positive relationship with the number of working people. The R2 value of 0.991 indicates that there is a fairly strong influence between the independent variables on the dependent variable, namely the number of working population of 99.1 percent, while the remaining 0.10 percent is explained by other factors not involved in the model

Pelaksanaan KKN Berparadigma Integrasi-Interkoneksi dalam Menopang Transformasi Masyarakat (Sebuah Rintisan Pendekatan Participatory Action Research)

KKN merupakan bagian integral sistem pendidikan tinggi. Oleh karena itu, sering perubahan IAIN menjadi UIN Sunan Kalijaga Yogyakarta, dimana paradigm keilmuannya juga berubah menjadi integrasi-interkoneksi, KKN UIN Sunan Kalijaga Yogyakarta seyogyanya juga menganut paradigm tersebut. Berdasarkan hal tersebut, ada dua hal yang ingin dijawab dari tulisan ini, yaitu bagaimana paradigma integrasi-interkoneksi dirumuskan dan dilaksanakan dalam bentuk program kerja, dan apa factor penghambat dan pendoroangnya. Untuk menjawab persoalan tersebut, penulis melakukan penelitian di dua lokasi KKN di dusun Sanggrahan dan Rajek Wetan dengan  peserta  30 orang. Agar tidak semata-mata teoritis, penelitian ini metode semi participatory action research. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian, diketahui bahwa untuk merumuskan KKN Integratif-interkonektif perlu kesadaran bahwa antarilmu (agama dan sekular) harus saling terkait untuk menyelesaikan problem masyarakat. Hambatan yang sering terjadi adalah ketidak pahaman mahasiswa atas peran yang harus dilakukan sebagai peserta KKN

Meneguhkan Pancasila sebagai Rumah Bersama Semua Umat Beragama

It is important to note the rising of religious violence and the dialectic of certain groups to alter Pancasila as the state ideology and foundation either using violent ways or abusing the triumph of democracy. Religious violence and efforts to alter Pancasila with other ideology serve as a vivid thread to the unity of The Republic of Indonesia, human right’s violation to Indonesian people carried out rituals that based on belief and religion, and the cause of self-identity uproot as a nation held bhineka tunggal ika. This paper tries to discuss some efforts to revitalize Pancasila being the house of many religions. The effort to revitalize Pancasila can be done situating it as a working ideology. Gaining this position as a working ideology, it is also urgent— besides changing the way to elaborate Pancasila values— to internalize the soul of Pancasila as ways of thinking and guiding to all Indonesian people. In this respect, Pancasila could serve as the house of many religions

Remembering the Seven-Word of The Jakarta Charter: The Challenging Risk of Indonesian Today

This article aims to discuss the remembering phenomenon of the seven words of the Jakarta Charter. Even though it happened in early Indonesia independent era, the rejection of deleting the seven words of Jakarta Charter still exists until now. The seven words abolition of the Jakarta Charter became myths and rites that used by Islamic fundamentalist groups to bring back past memories in Indonesia today. In the process, it became a collective or social memory among Muslim Fundamentalist group, and it gives great energy, and also dreaming, to the fundamentalist Islamic groups to struggle to remake Indonesia as Islamic State. In Indonesian history, it is a big problem because of two reasons. Indonesia is not Islamic state. Beside that this group also is not only using constitutional ways, but also unconstitutional ways, such rebellion, religious terror, and hijacking. Therefore we need to reshape and reconfigure the memory of deleting the seven words of the Jakarta Charter

This paper explains how pesantrens develop and construct their social network as strateg y to exist in three ways: the transmission of  knowledge, marriage, and structure

KONTEKSTUALISASI NILAI-NILAI LUHUR WARISAN LELUHUR DI ERA GLOBAL: BELAJAR DARI SERAT TRIPAMA DAN WAHYU MAKHUTA RAMA

Heritage is a “blue print” that not only serves as guidance, but also a parameter for its heirs to live their lives. We must behave as we have "embodied" in the inheritance of the ancestors as they are. Heritage is often positioned as something that must not be changed, so changing it is considered inappropriate and immoral. Changing it can be considered as violating custom and destroying a taboo. Whereas if we look at the process of creation of ancestral heritage, then we will know that the creation of ancestral heritage tends to be accommodating and dynamic along with the times, such as the process of creating Serat Tripama and Wahyu Makhuta Rama. Through both of them, we know that the creation process of heritage is dynamic and accommodating

LAPORAN COMMUNITY BASED-RESEARCH MENINGKATKAN EKONOMI MASYARAKAT BERBASIS PELESTARIAN LINGKUNGAN DAN NILAI-NILAI AGAMA DI PEGUNUNGAN DIENG

program ekonomi berbasis pelestarian lingkungan dan nilai-nilai agama perlu diterapkan di Dataran Tinggi Dieng karena tiga hal. (1) Kerusakan lingkungan Dieng yang sangat parah sehingga dapat mengancam kehidupan masyarakat yang tinggal di atasnya. Kerusakan lingkungan tersebut dapat dilihat dari tingginya erosi tanah yang terjadi, dan bahaya banjir yang selalu datang di setiap musim penghujan. Kerusakan lingkungan juga dapat dilihat dari tingginya pencemaran tanah di Dataran Tinggi Dieng, yang ditandai oleh menghilangnya binatang-binatang sungai (ikan) di sungai-sungai yang bermuara ke Dataran Tinggi Dieng. Rusaknya lingkungan secara cepat atau lambat akan menyebabkan musnahnya manusia yang tinggal diatasanya. (2) Dieng memiliki bentang alam yang sangat indah, yang dapat dikelola sebagai sumber ekonomi alternatif, selain ekonomi utama, kentang. Apalagi, secara historis Dieng merupakan kawasan wisata utama di Indonesia sejak awal tahun 1900an sehingga dapat dengan mudah untuk dikembangkan. (3) Masyarakat Dieng adalah masyarakat agamis. Mereka melandasi segenap aktivitasnya dengan nilai-nilai agama. Dalam proses pengembangan ekonomi berbasis alam (lingkungan), agama pernah menjadi salah satu penghalang utamanya. Oleh karena itu, pengembangan ekonomi berbasis pelestarian lingkungan harus disesuaikan dengan nilai-nilai agama yang diyakini, dihayati, dan dihidupi oleh masyarakat
