The Practices of Divorce by Petitions in Transmigration Area
This qualitative study explores divorce by petition among Javanese women in a transmigration village in Riau, Indonesia, revealing that factors such as legal awareness, reinterpretation of cultural values, economic independence, and social legitimacy influence divorce practices, with traditional Javanese values persisting despite geographic relocation.
The divorce rate on Java Island tends to increase every year. These indicate a breakdown in marriages. But Javanese people do not only live in Java Island but are spread across many islands in Indonesia, primarily due to the transmigration program. Riau Province, situated on the island of Sumatra, is one of the areas designated for transmigration, resulting in a large number of Javanese people settling in these villages. It turns out that divorce cases are also common in these locations. Therefore, this study was conducted to examine the practice of divorce by petition among Javanese women in a transmigration village in Riau Province. The research approach employed in this study was qualitative, with an exploratory research style and a feminist methodology that prioritizes considering women's voices and experiences as worthy of being heard. The results of suggest that certain factors contribute to divorce, particularly in the context of marriage values within Javanese culture: legal system and women’s growing legal awareness, reinterpretations of Javanese familial and cultural values, economic independence and the gendered dimension of divorce, and the search for legal and social legitimacy. Even in transmigration areas far from Java Island, Javanese transmigrants and their descendants continue to uphold Javanese traditional values. These values persist and are internalized in their daily practices, including in the practice of divorce by petition in the transmigration area of Java.

This study analyzes the constraining structures that influence women’s divorce (cerai gugat) practices among Javanese women living in rural transmigration areas. Drawing upon Anthony Giddens’ structuration theory and feminist methodology, this paper explores how social norms, cultural values, gender relations, and economic conditions shape women’s agency in deciding to divorce. Qualitative fieldwork was conducted in Sukamaju Village, Kuantan Singingi Regency, using in-depth interviews with 10 divorced women, community figures, and religious leaders. The findings reveal that the divorce process is constrained by five dominant structures: unregistered (siri) marriages, complex and costly legal procedures, cultural expectations of family harmony, children as mediating agents, and negative stereotypes of divorced women ( janda). These findings highlight the tension between women’s agency and structural constraints within Javanese patriarchal culture. The study contributes to gender and rural sociology by revealing how women negotiate cultural, legal, and moral boundaries to exercise autonomy within limiting social structures.

Poverty and inequality are the main problems faced by a country including Indonesia. The purpose of this study was to determine and analyze the comparison of poverty and inequality levels on the islands of Sumatra and Java and to analyze the effect of the human development index (HDI), gross regional domestic product (GRDP), the level of open unemployment (TPT) and total population on poverty and income distribution inequality in Sumatra and Java. The research method used is quantitative descriptive with multiple regression analysis using panel data with provincial research objects on the islands of Sumatra and Java. Based on the results of the study, if you look at the comparison of the poverty rate on the island of Sumatra and Java, based on the data, it can be seen that the average poverty rate on the island of Sumatra is 10.6%, which is higher than the average poverty rate on the island of Java, which is 8.8%. while the level of inequality in income distribution on average in Sumatra is 0.327, lower than the average income distribution inequality in Java, which is 0.393. The regression results show that on the island of Sumatra the HDI variable has a significant negative effect on poverty and inequality, GRDP has a significant negative effect on poverty and poverty has a positive effect on inequality. TPT has a significant positive effect on poverty and not significant on inequality. Total population is not significant to poverty and inequality. While the regression results on the island of Java show that the HDI variable has a significant negative effect on poverty and not significant on inequality. GRDP has no significant effect on poverty and inequality. TPT has a significant positive effect on poverty and not significant on inequality. And population has no significant effect on poverty and inequality.

This study investigates the incorporation of the Pancasila learner profile in the Mardika Basa lan Sastra Jawa textbook for grade VII SMP/MTs and its alignment with Javanese cultural character values. The Pancasila learner profile aims to cultivate students' values and character based on Indonesia's foundational philosophy. Understanding how textbooks reflect these values, particularly within the context of Javanese culture, is important for character education. A descriptive qualitative approach was used to analyze the textbook. Data were collected through data cards, questionnaires, and interviews with teachers. The analysis followed the Miles and Huberman technique, and data validity was ensured through triangulation. The findings indicate that the Mardika Basa lan Sastra Jawa textbook for grade VII, following the Merdeka Curriculum, integrates the Pancasila learner profile in each chapter. This is reflected in the value content, lesson preparation, and learning activities. The Javanese cultural character values corresponding to the Pancasila student profile include andhap asor (humility), babar binuka (openness), tepa salira (tolerance), laku hambeging kartika (noble conduct), wicaksana (wisdom), and niteni, nirokke, nambahi (observe, imitate, add). The study highlights that Javanese cultural values align well with the Pancasila learner profile, contributing positively to character development. These values not only strengthen the national identity but also foster ethical and responsible behavior among students. This research provides valuable insight into how Javanese cultural values can reinforce the Pancasila learner profile in education, supporting national character-building efforts.

The phenomenon of radicalism and violence with religious nuances encourages the emergence of a discourse of religious moderation. Religious moderation is expected to direct a moderate, tolerant, and friendly related to the balance between religious commitment and the attitude toward religious relations. Indonesian people, especially the Javanese people, along with their rich culture and traditions, can encourage the discourse of religious moderation based on local culture in the form of social practices, institutions, and various traditions. This article reveals the practice of religious moderation in Javanese culture, which is grounded in the behaviour and way of life of the people of Trirenggo Village, Bantul Regency, Yogyakarta. The research was conducted using qualitative methods through data collection techniques in the form of observation, interviews, and focus group discussions (FGD). The study results show that the Javanese cultural values ​​adopted by the Trirenggo community teach an attitude of living in harmony with the environment, including relationships among residents and religious adherents. Various social activities show Javanese cultural values ​​that are in harmony with religious moderation carried out interfaith and the Javanese's social view of life, manners, and work concepts. The traditional expression as a reflection of the philosophy of life is internalized into self-awareness and morality, and externalization is in the form of views and moderation behaviour in carrying out social relations in society. The Trirenggo people construct themselves as Javanese people who get along harmoniously through moderate attitudes and behaviour. Thus, Javanese culture can be important for strengthening religious moderation in society.

This study explores the idea of integration between Islamic educational values and Javanese culture according to Emha Ainun Nadjib through an analysis of his works. This study includes a library research study using a qualitative descriptive method with a character approach. Data sources were obtained from: interviews with figures (Cak Nun) and his biological child (Sabrang MDP), as well as an inventory of his thoughts in the form of books, the CakNun.com YouTube channel which is directly managed by Rumah Maiyah and Kiai Kanjeng. The results of the study show that Javanese cultural values and educational values according to Cak Nun Islam's view are almost incompatible with each other. The verse of the Qur'an which reads "famayyakmal mitsqola dzarrotin khoiroyyaroh wa mayyakmal mitsqola dzarrotin syarroiyaroh", in Javanese society before the arrival of Islam there was a philosophy of "ngunduh woing pakarti". Javanese people already have knowledge based on the results of their ijtihad, so that Javanese people understand what is good and bad in their lives.

The human development index is a way to assess the extent of the welfare of society in an area. Human development in Lampung Province is ranked lowest among other provinces on the island of Sumatra with a percentage of 70.45% in 2022. Departing from the geographical context of Lampung Province which is a vital route for economic activity between the islands of Java and Sumatra, this province has the potential to become a center distribution of goods and services at the national level. It should be able to increase employment and income in Lampung Province. So, it can reduce poverty and reduce unemployment. However, in reality, Lampung Province is still far behind other provinces on the island of Sumatra. The formulation of the problem in this research is how poverty and unemployment influence the human development index in Lampung Province. This research uses a quantitative type of research with a descriptive approach using panel data with a fixed effect model approach. The population in this research is data from the Human Development Index contained in the Central Statistics Agency of Lampung Province. According to the research results, X1 has a significant negative effect, X2 has no significant effect. The results of statistical tests state that the value of Prob. (F-statistic) is 0.000000. This means 0.000000<0.05, so it can be concluded that the independent variable (X) has a significant effect on the dependent variable (Y) simultaneously (simultaneously). Based on the results of the statistical tests carried out, an R-squared value of 0.984344 was obtained. It can be concluded that the independent variable has an influence on the dependent variable of 98%, while 2% is influenced by other variables outside the model.

Pneumonia is a respiratory tract disease caused by bacteria, viruses, or fungi. In Indonesia, pneumonia is one of the diseases with the second highest number of cases after malaria from 2007 to 2015. Mapping of regions with pneumonia prevalence needs to be done so that the government can pay more attention to areas with high pneumonia rates, and the public can be more aware of areas that are prone to pneumonia. Spatial methods that can be used to predict the distribution of pneumonia patients are ordinary kriging and inverse distance weighted. The research results showed that the best method chosen for predicting the proportion of pneumonia patients in Sumatra, Java, Kalimantan, and Sulawesi islands is the ordinary kriging method with its theoretical semivariogram model being exponential, and the obtained RMSE value is 0.0178. The average proportion of pneumonia patients in Sumatra Island is 0.01655, with the highest proportion value of 0.02504 in Simalungun District, North Sumatra. Then, the average proportion of pneumonia patients in Java Island is 0.01672, with the highest proportion value of 0.02443 in Garut District, West Java. The proportion of pneumonia patients in Kalimantan Island is 0.01657, with the highest proportion value of 0.01835 in Balikpapan District, East Kalimantan. The average proportion of pneumonia patients in Sulawesi Island is 0.0166, with the highest proportion value of 0.02397 in South Minahasa District, North Sulawesi.

Documents Women and Work in the Third World: Indonesian Women's Oral Histories Walter L. Williams In Indonesia, as with many young Third World nations, local and foreign economists and government planners focus on creating jobs for men as the best means to promote development. Yet what the resulting policies often ignore is that women have always been integrally involved in the nondomestic economy. Though Indonesia is largely an Islamic country, with an ideology that sees men as providers for the family, the vast majority of Indonesian women have worked outside the home. This pattern of women's work has been a reality in both rural and urban contexts, during past eras as well as today. Until fairly recently, women's voices have often been ignored in scholarship on nonwestern cultures.1 This situation has partially been the result of a lack of attention to nontraditional sources, such as oral interviews with women themselves, a valuable means of understanding female perspectives.2 Because of many women's lack of access to formal education , particularly for those of the nonelite classes, they have seldom produced written documents. Third World feminists have often criticized Euroamerican feminism for its ethnocentrism, and, thus, it is important to learn about the lives and concerns of nonwestern women. In Indonesian Studies, in particular, the voices of women have ,been silent, with few opportunities to hear thefr perceptions of thefr own lives. Oral histories are particularly useful in overcoming this deficiency since the open-ended nature of life-history interviewing allows the interviewee to structure the text according to the topics that are most important in her mind. These life histories are part of a larger study of gender role variance in the island of Java, undertaken by the author in 1987-88. Life histories of both women and men were gathered, with a focus on lifestyle changes in the older generation. Interviews were conducted in an open-ended manner so as to allow the interviewee to emphasize the things about her life that she considered most important. The fact that the researcher is male might have influenced the female interviewees to talk about less intimate topics than they would have done with a female researcher. It is equally conceivable , however, that these women chose to emphasize their work role because they considered it to be such an important aspect of their lives. These interviewees range in age from their 50s to their 70s and live near the classical Sultans' court cities of Yogyakarta and Surakarta (Solo) © 1990 Journal of Women-s History, Vol. ζ No. ι (Spring) 184 Journal of Women's History Spring in central Java. Yet unlike the members of Java's governmental and court elites, who highly prize a leisurely lifestyle, the lives of these Javanese women are far different from those of the status-conscious nonlaboring upper class. The individuals quoted here are "ordinary women" whose lives have been dominated by the need to earn a living through their own labor. Especially because Javanese women were seldom admitted to Dutch schools, peasant women from the villages had little opportunity to engage in other lifestyles than the agricultural market economy in which they matured. Born during the Dutch colonial era, these women remember their early lives as times of economic hardship. These memories, common to both women and men who grew up during that era, suggest the oppressiveness of the colonial system that the Dutch had established in the Netherlands East Indies three centuries before. Yet this generation lived to see the ancient regime overthrown. The past half-century has been a time of unprecedented change for Javanese people. In 1942, the Dutch abandoned the Indies as the advancing army of Japan proclaimed a new empire of the sun. For Java, however, hope turned to despair as the Asian imperialists turned out to be even more oppressive than the Europeans had been. When Japan was forced to surrender in 1945, Java still gained no relief. The Dutch returned, simply expecting to reestablish their colonial system as before. In the late 1940s, these women witnessed the bloody fighting for the independence of the new nation of Indonesia. They survived the political and economic chaos of the...

This study aims to analyze inequality and spatial autocorrelation of provincial economic growth on the islands of Sumatra and Java. The study period starts from 2010 to 2015, which involves ten provinces on the island of Sumatra and six regions on the island of Java. This study uses the Williamson Index and Moran Index methods. The results of this study indicate that there are differences in income inequality. Java Island has a higher bias than Sumatra Island. The top income variation in Java is caused by high development in one of the provinces in Java while in Sumatra due to geographical and natural resource factors. Besides, the Moran Index shows that there is no spatial linkage of per capita GRDP between provinces in Sumatra and Java.

The interrelation between religion and culture is very closely related to the traditions of human life so that religion often gives birth to culture or civilization for the enjoyment of human life on the surface of the earth. In the view of some sociologists, it is said that Islam is called the religion of civilization. In the case of the interrelation between religion and culture for the Javanese as the majority ethnic group in the archipelago, it is an interesting thing to study. Islam entered Java in a peaceful way, starting with the common people until gradually entering the palace level. The Javanese responded well to the entry of Islam to Java. Because Islam easily socializes with Javanese people. Javanese people are fascinated by Islamic teachings that introduce the unity of Allah. Islam is mixed with Javanese culture because Islam is intended to facilitate the spread of its religion. However, until now, Javanese culture is still attached to Islamic teachings, which are still mostly adhered to by Javanese people. Thus the author tries to discuss how the true beliefs that develop from the interrelation of religion (Islam) and Javanese culture, the response of Javanese culture to Islam and the response of Islam to Javanese cultur
