Fri, 24 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000

This study aims to analyze the relationship between care burden and gender inequality in the construction of social welfare in rural communities. This study uses a qualitative approach with case study methods in rural communities, through in-depth interviews, participatory observations, and analysis of local social policy documents. The findings show that women bear a double burden: as the main responsible for domestic work and unpaid care, as well as as economic actors in supporting household incomes. This burden not only limits women's access to productive resources and social mobility, but also reproduces structural inequalities in the distribution of welfare. In addition, social protection policies tend to assume women as beneficiaries as well as managers of family welfare, without substantively reducing the burden of care they bear. This study concludes that care work is a key element of social welfare in rural areas, but it is mostly imposed on women. Women must carry out a dual role, namely taking care of the household while earning a living, so that their opportunities to develop are limited. This causes gender inequality to continue to occur. This research contributes to strengthening the sociological perspective of welfare by placing care work as a central arena in the analysis of gender inequality and social policy.

Sauqi Ichsan Kamil, Subhan Widiansyah — Tue, 28 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000

This study aims to analyze how symbolic interaction is formed within the online community of Genshin Impact players and how such interactions contribute to fulfilling the social needs of its members. In the digital era, online communities function not only as platforms for sharing information but also as social arenas where individuals construct identity, intimacy, and shared meaning through digital communication symbols. This research employs a descriptive qualitative approach, using in-depth interviews with five purposively selected informants and observations of community activities on platforms such as Discord. Data analysis follows the Miles and Huberman model, including data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that interactions within the community are constructed through linguistic symbols, emojis, GIFs, voice chat, and community-specific jargon such as “whenyah” and “istri gua.” These symbols function not only as communication tools but also as means of establishing digital identity and social closeness. Furthermore, the community plays a role in fulfilling members’ social needs, including affiliation, emotional support, information, entertainment, and identity expression. Thus, online communities serve as significant digital social spaces for building relationships and fulfilling individuals’ social needs. These findings indicate that digital communities play an important role as modern social arenas, where communication symbols serve as the primary medium for constructing meaning, identity, and fulfilling the social needs of community members.

ASRANI, Sulsalman Moita — Thu, 14 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Studi ini mengkaji modal sosial Medulu Mepokoaso dan kearifan lokal Monahu Ndau dalam membangun ketahanan pangan tradisional Suku Tolaki di Kecamatan Tongauna Utara, Kabupaten Konawe. Pokok permasalahan yang diangkat adalah bagaimana eksistensi elemen-elemen Medulu Mepokoaso (solidaritas sosial dan gotong royong dalam budaya Tolaki) dan Monahu Ndau (kearifan lokal Suku Tolaki yang mengatur tata kelola pascapanen, penyimpanan, dan distribusi pangan dalam komunitas) sebagai pranata sosial-budaya, serta bagaimana keduanya berkontribusi terhadap ketahanan pangan berbasis komunitas di tengah tekanan modernisasi dan perubahan sosial. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan jenis studi kasus, melalui wawancara mendalam, observasi partisipan, dan studi dokumentasi terhadap tokoh adat, petani, dan perangkat desa. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Medulu Mepokoaso termanifestasi dalam jaringan gotong royong, kepercayaan, dan norma timbal balik yang memperkuat kerja kolektif dalam produksi dan distribusi pangan, sedangkan Monahu Ndau mengatur tata kelola pascapanen, penyimpanan, dan konsumsi pangan melalui pengetahuan ekologis lokal dan ritual adat. Sinergi keduanya membentuk model ketahanan pangan tradisional yang meningkatkan ketersediaan, akses, dan stabilitas pangan komunitas. Penelitian menyimpulkan bahwa penguatan kebijakan ketahanan pangan perlu mengakui dan mengintegrasikan modal sosial dan kearifan lokal Tolaki sebagai basis pengembangan komunitas yang berkelanjutan.

This study aims to determine the role of women stone crushers in improving the family economy in Mantobua Village, Lohia District, Muna Regency, and to determine the impact of working as stone crushers on the health and safety of women in Mantobua Village, Lohia District, Muna Regency. The results indicate that women's involvement in stone crushers is motivated by economic needs, a desire for independence, and an effort to help meet family needs. The income earned is variable but plays a significant role as a supplement to household income. In addition to economic benefits, this work also fosters a sense of responsibility, independence, and self-confidence. However, women face several obstacles, such as physical exhaustion, health risks, simple work tools, and uncertainty about prices and demand. In conclusion, women stone crushers make a significant contribution to improving the family economy, although they still need support in the form of training, more appropriate work tools, and government attention to ensure their welfare and occupational safety.
