The purpose of this study is to examine (1) how religious groups can help to avoid violent conduct, (2) how religion and violence are related, and (3) how gender conflict and violent behavior are related. In Sorong City, Southwest Papua, this study employs a quantitative methodology using a correlational design and probability sampling approaches. Cluster random sampling was used to determine the sample. Gathering information via surveys, literature reviews, and observation combined with descriptive and inferential statistical analysis. The results of the study found that religious institutions play a role in preventing violence against women and children through teaching-based education that emphasizes protection and peace. The hypothesis test results showed that religiosity did not significantly affect violent behavior (tcount -0.459 < ttable 1.960; significance 0.647 > 0.05). On the other hand, when combined with gender conflict, religiosity showed a significant effect (fcount 616.697 > fttable 3.04; significance 0.001 < 0.05). This study also revealed that gender conflict was positively and significantly related to violent behavior (tcount 31.665 > ttable 1.960; significance 0.000 < 0.05), indicating that gender inequality and gender role stereotypes exacerbate violence.

The transition from communal to individual land ownership in modern society, as posited by replacement theory, has profound implications for land management practices. This study critically examines the practices surrounding customary land (tanah ulayat) within the Minangkabau community, specifically in Nagari Sungai Kamuyang, West Sumatra, thereby challenging prevailing theoretical assumptions. Utilizing a qualitative approach, the research incorporates in-depth interviews and field observations to understand the community's strategies for managing and utilizing customary land. Findings reveal that the Nagari Sungai Kamuyang community actively upholds the ulayat land status as a collective right and effectively administers it to promote the welfare of its members. The management of customary land occurs under the guidance of traditional leaders (niniak mamak) and local government authorities, with regulations that permit usage rights without transferring ownership. This collective stewardship not only sustains livelihoods for community members, particularly those lacking access to agricultural land, but also reinforces the social values intrinsic to ulayat land. These practices demonstrate the community's resilience and offer a robust counterargument to the predictions of replacement theory.

This research focuses on the quarter-life crisis problem caused by having finished studying at university but being confused about choices for the future, also due to demands from the surrounding environment regarding the economic sector and also due to academic stress. The more often you experience pressure, the more likely an individual will start to develop negative emotions and views of themselves. Final-year students often experience negative feelings such as confusion, insecurity about their own abilities, and feelings of depression and loss of hope for the future. The aim of this research is to analyze the reflexivity of final-year students in facing the quarter-life crisis. This research uses descriptive research methods with a purposive selection of informants analyzed using Ulrich Beck's Risk Society theory. The quarter-life crisis that final-year students are at risk of experiencing is influenced by awareness of the future, which causes feelings of anxiety, overload, feeling burdened, and feeling left behind by others. Then, the research results also show that to face risks in the future, final-year students carry out reflexivity by improving their skills and also participating in organizations, training, or internships. Social class is also a supporting factor for student reflexivity, but not the main one. Because they have unlimited access, the upper and upper middle classes have better opportunities for reflexivity than the lower and lower middle classes. And social support is also very necessary when final-year students practice reflexivity.

Abstract: Market and terminal are two places that can both be described as something crowded, noisy, complicated, and prone to crime. However, behind this general condition, it turns out that markets and terminals are inseparable symbiosis in the economy of cities and regions. If this symbiosis is separated, inevitably, the terminal will not develop. This is the case with several inter-provincial (AKDP) and inter-provincial (AKAP) public transportation terminals. This paper explains the relationship between the two as a socio-economic symbiosis, a Minangkabau local wisdom, and the following phenomena. It can be concluded that (a). reflecting on the planning and development of traditional markets in West Sumatra, especially the nagari market; the nagari market is crowded because one is always next to the terminal (b). local wisdom between the market and the terminal is like water and fish. Fish cannot live without water. But a terminal without a market around it is like a fish without water. This is the case in nine of the ten AKDP and AKAP terminals in West Sumatra (c). terminal construction is always located in the district's capital city, except for the Kiliran Jao terminal (Sijunjung Regency), which does not consider the location's economic, pathological, and sociological aspects. However, each development is always accompanied by a feasibility study per the Ministry of Transportation requirements.

Abstract: This research analyses the views of the Suku Laut on development policies that have resettled them from a nomadic life at sea to a sedentary life on land. The top-down development approach often does not actively involve the Suku Laut, leading to various responses. The research method used was descriptive qualitative, with in-depth interviews and observations of 10 informants of the Sea Tribe in the Riau Islands. Peter L. Berger's social construction theory analyzed how social change occurs through externalization, objectivation, and internalization. Based on the research results, two main views of the Suku Laut towards development policies resulted from social construction. Both views reflect the complex dynamics of identity, access, and interaction with the new social environment. Firstly, some felt that development was not inclusive because it threatened their cultural identity, access to resources, and lack of involvement in decision-making. Secondly, some Suku Laut consider the policy sufficient to fulfill their basic needs, such as education, health, and protection from extreme weather. These different views are influenced by their living patterns, whether they are still nomadic, settled on the coast, or land. This article shows that the change from nomadic to settled life results from social construction created through the interaction of the Suku Laut with external society

Abstract: This study aims to describe the stages of women's empowerment in waste management through waste banks analyzed from the concept of empowerment stages. The research uses a qualitative method. The results show that the stages of women's empowerment consisted of: (1) raising awareness about waste problems; (2) providing training and skills on waste processing and the formation and development of Bank Sampah Unit (BSU); and (3) increasing women's participation in running the Bank Sampah Unit (BSU) independently. However, the field findings show that in the capacity stage, women already can develop the organization (BSU). It is concluded that the stages of women's empowerment in waste management through waste banks have made women empowered in managing waste in their households.

Abstract: This study delves into the intricate dynamics of adolescent juvenile delinquency by examining the Lens of the Differential Association Theory. Focused on the unique context of adolescents at SMAN 21 Bandung, the study employs qualitative research methods to explore the multifaced relationships between differential association Dynamics and juvenile delinquency. Through in-depth analysis, including comprehensive interviews, observations, and literature reviews, the research sheds light on how adolescents learn and internalize deviant behaviours within their deviant subculture. The findings indicate that deviant behaviour develops a learning process where deviance is perceived as something. Additionally, deviant behaviour is the behaviour of fellow perpetrators in deviant subcultures, establishing an environment in which they feel secure engaging in delinquent activities since there is no one to interfere or report them. The existence of negative interactions serves as a trigger for teenagers to engage in delinquency, highlighting the need for increased supervision from parents and teachers. Furthermore, it is necessary to implement tactics to tackle teenage delinquency within educational institutions, aiming to deter their engagement in deviant behaviours.

Abstract: This paper aims to depict the formation of capitalist relations in the hidden abode of production within the cocoa sector in the Village of Piriang Tapiko. The research is based on data collected from field research using an explanatory qualitative method. Employing a Marxist political economy approach, this study reveals that: (1) The presence of cocoa plants has ensnared local farmers in the village of Piriang Tapiko in commodification of subsistence. However, this entanglement does not necessarily subject them to class differentiation, as believed by some Marxist scholars. (2) Despite undergoing commodification of subsistence and full integration into market relations, cocoa farmers in the village of Piriang Tapiko can still access the market freely and control their work processes and its outcomes independently. The fertile forest land shapes their self-reliance in confronting market forces. (3) The plummeting cocoa productivity due to plant diseases has separated them from control over the means of production and their output, ensnaring them in a concealed capitalist relation as unpaid labor through outsourcing mechanisms hierarchically controlled by Nestle in the certified cocoa commodity chain. Ultimately, the formation of capitalist relations in the village of Piriang Tapiko adds a unique dimension to the trajectory of capitalism's development in diverse contexts.
