The strong Minang family traditions are facing the demand for flexibility from modern city life, especially when Minang people live outside the Minang land, such as in Yogyakarta. This study aims to reveal how the ‘flexible life’ is experienced by Minang families. The questions are how family traditional provisions have fared and how Minang families in Yogyakarta accommodate traditional provisions in different social and cultural contexts. This study applies qualitative methods and a phenomenological approach involving 15 informants. The findings show that Minang families in Yogyakarta have seen changes in their marriage traditions, which used to be strictly regulated by Minangkabau custom. By opening a dialectical process in Yogyakarta, they accommodate and adapt to the Javanese traditions and customs in conducting marriages. The impact is that family marriage traditions change. Nonetheless, Minang families in Yogyakarta have not lost their Minang identity. They remain Minang even though they marry a non-Minang.

The working pattern in traditional society still becomes an exciting topic to investigate as they portray how society makes their living. The research aims at investigating the relationship between employer and employee in fishing management in Kelurahan Pasar Bengkulu, Bengkulu Province, Indonesia. The study employed a phenomenology-based qualitative approach, with participants chosen using a purposive sampling technique. Data were gathered through observation, interviews, and documentation. The collected data were analyzed by reducing, describing, and verifying data. The standards of credibility, transferability, dependability, and confirmability are confirmed to validate the data. The findings signified that:1) the patron-client symbolizes exploitation in which most business is dominated by the middlemen, while the fishermen only play a role as the executors during the fishing process. Additionally, the patron-client relationship represents an imbalance of fishery profit sharing; 2) such a relationship does contribute to fishermen’s structural and cultural poverty. The cooperation between labor associations and governance active role supported by financial aid from related parties is highly recommended to promote fishermen’s wealth.
传统社会的工作模式仍然是一个令人兴奋的话题，因为他们描绘了社会如何谋生。本研究的目的是调查印度尼西亚明古鲁省Kelurahan Pasar Bengkulu渔业管理中雇主和雇员之间的关系。该研究采用了基于现象学的定性方法，参与者选择使用有目的的抽样技术。通过观察、访谈和文件收集数据。对收集到的数据进行简化、描述和验证。对数据的可信度、可转移性、可靠性和可确认性等标准进行确认，以验证数据的有效性。研究结果表明:1)主顾模式是一种剥削模式，大部分业务由中间商主导，渔民在捕捞过程中仅扮演执行者的角色。此外，主顾关系代表了渔业利润分享的不平衡;2)这种关系确实导致了渔民的结构和文化贫困。建议在相关方财政援助的支持下，发挥工会协会合作和治理的积极作用，促进渔民致富。

The flea market constituted a specific phenomenon in the context of market formation. Some social, cultural, and structural backgrounds trigger the formation of a flea market. This research aimed to uncover the processes of forming the flea market in Bukitinggi as a part of the Minangkabau community, in West Sumatra, Indonesia. By applying the qualitative method, data were collected from observations and in-depth interviews with informants from the Bukittinggi flea market. The 14 informants participating in this research were the flea market’s managers, sellers, and buyers. The thematic observations were carried out regularly to capture the real conditions and the discussions among the community members. The data analysis and triangulation refer to Miles and Huberman’s model. The findings confirm Aspers’ approach to market formation. The flea market was formed through three simultaneous processes: spontaneous, autonomous, and state-governed market creation. The stages of the flea market formation were orientation, contraction, and cohesion involving state actors, sellers, and buyers. The cultural barriers in the orientation process were removed during the contraction stage through various social constructions and the state’s involvement in market relocation. The cohesion was formed by upholding the community’s cultural traditions.

Discrepancy in the value of labor is a discrepancy between the price of work expressed in money or wages with the necessities of a decent life. This discrepancy results in an accumulation of income that leads to economic inequality. The aim of the research is to find out the discrepancy in the value of labor experienced by workers and its impact on economic inequality. This research was conducted in Yogyakarta considering that this city has the highest level of economic inequality and is one of the regions with the lowest minimum wage in Indonesia. This research method is descriptive qualitative by looking at the difference in value between decent living needs and district/city minimum wages in Yogyakarta Province. The data includes district/city minimum wages, the cost of living necessities, and main employment status. The results of this study show that there is a discrepancy in the value of labor in Yogyakarta in 2022 and 2023. This discrepancy can be seen through the difference between the necessities of life and the minimum wage of IDR 858,281- IDR 1,801,059. In addition, the discrepancy in the value of labor encourages economic inequality as a result of the accumulation of income received by owners of capital and the exploitation of labor experienced by workers.

Since 1980, the Islamic literacy of the Sudirman Mosque, Yogyakarta has centered around jihadi ideology, while the Jogokariyan Mosque, Yogyakarta has been normative and oriented toward Islamization. Of late, the Sudirman and the Jogokariyan Mosques are taking new and different approaches to Islamic literacy. This study aims to describe the newly adopted approaches and their appropriation within the middle-class society and the urban Islamic landscape. This research is qualitative-descriptive, using post-Islamism as a theoretical concept. This study highlights two important findings. First, the Sudirman Mosque takes a progressive approach by discussing philosophy and postcolonialism and publishing reflective Islamic literature, while the Jogokariyan Mosque popularizes Islam through spiritual recreation, hijrah festivals, and publishing normative Islamic pop literature. Second, these new approaches to Islamic literacy appropriate urban characteristics and the congregations’ social classes. These findings contribute to mapping new Islamic literacy patterns in Yogyakarta.

Australia is very important to Indonesia’s tourism recovery strategies after the COVID-19 pandemic. This study examines tourism issues in Indonesia as represented by Australian websites. By mapping actors and issue networks in Australian sites, this study identified the status and behavior of actors in online networks. This study applies a Bourdieusian framework adapted to an online setting called online field theory. Applying web data to study the behavior of actors or organizations, this study combined the hyperlink network and content analysis. It has been found that tourism policies and tourism impact on the economy in Indonesia is a major concern for Australian actors. The web narratives indicate that the COVID-19 pandemic contextualizes the emergence of major issues and prominent actors dealing with the issues. A map of the hyperlink network confirmed the structure of the fields in which privileged actors in Australia, such as the government and the media, are more central in framing and diffusing the issues. It is argued that issue formation and adoption on the web reflect multiple Australian interests to Indonesia’s tourism.

The utilization practices of houses of worship in Benteng Pancasila Area of Universitas Sebelas Maret (UNS) campus can be seen as a field of cultural production by religious communities in an educational environment. This study uses a qualitative method with a case study to discover 1) how houses of worship on UNS Benteng Pancasila are utilized, 2) how agents use capital to shape cultural production, and 3) what social impacts are created. The results indicate that 1) the successfully constructed habitus leads to socio-cultural religious practices with academic nature, 2) agents instill values through narratives using cultural, social, and symbolic capital, and 3) the social impacts include inter-religious group integration, but the interaction within it is still limited. In this case, it was revealed that the social relations formed from the cultural production are still limited on the symbolic level.
在Universitas Sebelas Maret (UNS)校园的Benteng Pancasila区域，礼拜场所的使用实践可以被视为宗教社区在教育环境中的文化生产领域。本研究采用定性方法，结合个案研究，探讨1)UNS本腾潘卡西拉的礼拜场所如何被利用，2)代理人如何利用资本塑造文化生产，以及3)产生了哪些社会影响。结果表明:1)成功构建的惯习导致具有学术性质的社会文化宗教实践;2)行动者通过文化、社会和象征资本的叙事方式灌输价值观;3)社会影响包括宗教群体间的整合，但其内部的互动仍然有限。在这种情况下，揭示了文化生产所形成的社会关系仍然局限于符号层面。

Through its Corporate Social and Environmental Responsibility (CSER), the company actively contributes to addressing social vulnerability issues in communities. However, given that businesses are also impacted financially, it is interesting to find out why companies, especially State-Owned Enterprises (SOE), continue to run their CSER programs, whether it is merely an obligation due to regulatory orders or whether there are other motives. This research was conducted from the perspective of the sociology of law. The result shows that the obligation of CSER in several regulations is not merely the lawgiver's own desires but comes from social awareness, given that kinship has existed for a long time. Even though there are no explicit restrictions addressing requirements or sanctions to implement CSER in the SOE Law, SOEs in the mining sector demonstrate their commitment to social awareness by continuing to carry out their CSER program in 2020 and 2021.

Results from the 2019 Indonesian National Socioeconomic Survey showed that the poverty rate in the Special Region of Yogyakarta was 11.44 %, higher by 2.22% than the 9.22% national average. However, the National Human Happiness Index in 2014 and 2017 showed that the residents were among the top ranks. This study aims to describe the poor empirically and the meaning of happiness for them. The argument is that the poor perceive themselves as happy for different reasons. This research applies a qualitative-narrative approach to answer two questions: ‘how is your life currently?’ and ‘how do you deal with poverty?’ to reveal the relationship between poverty and happiness. The results showed that the respondents were not happy living in poverty but were content with their lives for reasons attributable to the belief system and local culture. In the Javanese language, this attitude is called ‘nerimo’, which translates into ‘accepting the situation’. They practice this to improve their psychological well-being.

Chinese and indigenous people in Kalipasir have lived together for centuries. Although they experienced various social changes due to changes in spatial planning, job opportunities, and cultural recognition, they still lives in harmony by negotiating its identity. Applying qualitative research this study will reveal: what factors drive the negotiation of the identity of the people of Kampung Kalipasir? How did the identity negotiations in Kalipasir Village take place? and what impact does this identity negotiation have on people's attitudes to social change? This study reveals that identity negotiations are driven by factors of cultural diversity, economic equality, and the presence of a common enemy. The form of identity negotiation that occurs is manifested in three behaviors, namely tolerance, prioritizing togetherness, and maintaining tradition. The consequences of this identity negotiation led to a multicultural attitude, prioritizing deliberation, and rejecting exclusivity. This finding shows that a multicultural society can develop in response to social change without having to become a hybrid society by negotiating a tolerant identity and building togetherness while still maintaining traditional values.
