Strengthening the Social Capital through the Local Wisdom of Indonesia's students in Thailand

Abstract. As a long-time friend of Indonesia, Thailand is among the countries of choice for Indonesians to live overseas. This community services program has the main objective of developing social capital among the diaspora in Thailand, especially in Khon Kaen province. Most of the diaspora in Khon Kaen consists of undergraduate and postgraduate programs that receive scholarships from the Indonesian government or their internal institutions. Social capital, as in Islamic perception, “Ukhuwah Islamiyah,” and togetherness could increase their strength to bring great values to living abroad. The main problem is differences in human behaviour, human traditions, race, perspectives, and many other aspects that could decrease the togetherness value and lack of nationalism and pride in Indonesian culture. Living as a diaspora has many advantages, one of which is knowing things that one's surroundings do not, for example, culture. Diaspora Indonesia in Thailand has many greater benefits in terms of sharing Indonesian local culture in art, culinary arts, dancing, etc. Thailand citizens are mostly welcome to cultural sharing events from other countries due to receiving new knowledge concerning Indonesia. By sharing the culture and introducing Indonesia, it could increase the nationalism and togetherness of the Indonesian Diaspora. Therefore, making an event to share the local culture, which consists of many races in Indonesia, and introduce Indonesia's uniqueness is the solution to strengthening the social capital of the Diaspora Indonesia at Khon Kaen University. By collaborating with Persatuan Mahasiswa Indonesia di Thailand (PERMITHA) in the Khon Kaen branch, the community services could elaborate on local culture sharing with all Diaspora students who study at Khon Kaen University. One of the local cultures that could be shared is making batik. Sharing steps and how to make batik could interest many other Diaspora members from other countries.

This number marks an increase of 19,480 voters from the previous Presidential Election held in 2014, wherein 2,038,711 registered voters across 130 Indonesian representatives abroad had cast their votes. The surge in Indonesian Diaspora voters indicates their significant role in election contests. The involvement of the Indonesian Diaspora in homeland politics is significantly impacted by their ability to stay informed about current events and maintain solid familial ties with their home country. Online platforms and social media play an essential role in keeping the Diaspora apprised of political developments and expanding their understanding of the issues. This article explores the political engagement of Indonesian diaspora communities residing in Metro Manila, Philippines, in the lead-up to the 2019 elections. The research centers on a church member group in ICF Makati, which is conventionally regarded as a non-political organization.

Specifically, the research scrutinizes how they deliberate on topics concerning their homeland's politics and exchange their perspectives on current political events. Findings indicate that the Indonesian Diaspora is becoming more discerning of the political landscape in their homeland.

Social media platforms have made it effortless for people to remain actively informed about political developments in their home country. Additionally, the Indonesian Diaspora has demonstrated a heightened interest in homeland politics, particularly in the lead-up to elections, to express their imagined nationalism.

Shopping Experience of Indonesian Diaspora in Europe Related to Primark’s Reputation and Customer Attitude towards Unethical and Unsustainable Business Practice Brands

When Primark is alleged to be an unethical and unsustainable fashion brand after the accident in Bangladesh in 2013, we would like to know further about the public’s response as well as their attitude toward fast fashion brands selling cheap clothes, including Primark. With such a reputation, we also want to get a deeper yet broader range of understanding by conducting interview with our respondents who are Indonesian diaspora (who have been to Europe) and some European citizens. We asked them about their point of view and their experience in purchasing items both in fast fashion and sustainable fashion brands. The research method used is qualitative, with interviews as a data collection technique. The result showed that the reputation of Primark as a fast fashion brand as well as its accusation of unethical and unsustainable business practices, affect consumer behavior in purchasing fashion products. Brand reputation also has a strong connection between consumer attitude and buying decisions. Despite buying decisions with sustainable brands not yet done hugely by now, consumers have started to rethink shopping with fashion brands that practice business against the law and norms regarding society and the environment.

With this understanding and adaptation attitude, it turns out that the Indonesian diaspora also opens up opportunities to become bridging agents in the exchange of two cultures, Indonesia and Turkiye, and shows the occurrence of a two-way intercultural communication process.

Protecting the rights of Muslim women in Indonesian diaspora marriages in Russia: An Islamic Law Perspective

This research focuses on the issue of human rights violations, particularly those affecting Muslim women in Indonesian diaspora marriages in Russia. Despite the regulations set by the Family Code of the Russian Federation, there have been reports of abuse, expulsion, withholding of documents and unilateral divorce. The purpose of this qualitative research using Smith’s phenomenological approach is to analyse the root causes of these violations and provide solutions. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observation and documentation analysis. The results showed that domestic violence was caused by a lack of self-concern and lack of cultural, legal and legal administration literacy. This lack of literation contributes to the violation of the rights of married diaspora women in Russia. Self-protection can be enhanced by increasing faith-based marriage literacy and cultural and legal literacy. Contribution: This research provides insight into the factors contributing to human rights violations in Indonesian diaspora marriages in Russia and proposes solutions to prevent such violations. The findings of this study can also serve as a basis for future research in the field of human rights and diaspora.

Indonesian Muslim Diaspora: Strengthening Cognitive Aspects and Competencies Regarding Islamic Heritage in Southeast Asia

This study examined the cognitive aspects and competencies of the Indonesian Muslim diaspora in Southeast Asia through a community empowerment program to preserve Islamic heritage. Muslim communities in Southeast Asia have a historical relationship in the process of da'wah, Islamic culture, and the transmission of knowledge. Historical heritage in the form of mosques, tombs, kingdoms, and religious ceremonies is a potential for halal tourism and a challenge for the cultural conservation process. In this regard, the Indonesian Muslim diaspora plays a significant role in efforts to maintain Islamic heritage in Southeast Asia due to their shared culture, traditions, and language. Enhancing the diaspora's cognitive aspects and competencies was a priority for assistance. Therefore, various activities were implemented to improve their ability to document relevant information about Islamic heritage. This endeavor employed a Participatory Action Research (PAR) methodology to support the Indonesian diaspora residing in Malaysia, Thailand, and Brunei Darussalam. The mentoring program included Focused Group Discussions about Islamic heritage and assistance in improving skills related to data collection and writing about Islamic heritage and Arabic Pegon writing. Following the mentoring activities, notable improvements were observed in the cognitive aspects of the assisted subjects concerning historical mosques and Islamic kingdoms (13.3%), Islamic museums (21.43%), Islamic traditions (35.71%), and Islamic arts (42%), tombs (38.46%), and haul ceremonies (84%). Additionally, there was increased competency in searching and writing Islamic heritage information (13.3%) and Arabic Pegon writing (28.57%) after the mentoring. To ensure program sustainability, the diaspora actively disseminates service outcomes through online directories. Furthermore, ongoing collaboration is fostered through community-based cultural initiatives, which contribute to preserving Islamic history.

MENJAWAB KEBUTUHAN PEKERJA MIGRAN INDONESIA BERKETERAMPILAN BAHASA INGGRIS SEBAGAI BAHASA GLOBAL

This paper aims to discuss the reasons and solutions why and how Indonesian Migrant Workers (IMWs), need to increase their English proficiency. We use a sociolinguistic approach to understanding the phenomenon of English as a Global Language including its history, social functions, prestige, and why its speakers gain better social status in society. Furthermore, we discuss the data we gained from dispersing questionnaires for need analysis in google forms to some networks of Indonesian in Hong Kong (59 correspondents). The data doubtlessly show they want to enhance their English mastery and intend to join our free online English course program. In the second year of the program (2022), we become more convinced in conducting the program for a longer run in the future, as unexpectedly the number of IMWs who want to join the course has raised four times (about three hundred from the expected ninety participants only), and have gained supports from various institutions such as the Consulate General of the Republic of Indonesian in Hong Kong and Macau, and Indonesian Diaspora Network Global. As an academic institution, we are assured that the present program will be a valuable contribution for society, especially the IMWs.

Diaspora engagement in tourism crisis recovery: the case of Indonesia

Diseño/metodología/enfoqueEste estudio se basó en el paradigma de constructivismo social y empleó un enfoque cualitativo. Se realizaron cuatro grupos focales (n = 25) y diez entrevistas individuales con emigrantes indonesios en Estados Unidos. Se utilizó el análisis temático para identificar los temas principales.PropósitoLa dispersión de grupos humanos que abandonan su lugar de origen, también denominado, diáspora o emigrantes, representan un grupo único y, sin embargo, a menudo ignorado en la gestión del turismo. Sus fuertes lazos con su tierra natal a menudo dan como resultado una relación con una comunidad extendida, la cual es valiosa para su tierra natal durante tiempos difíciles. Este estudio examinó el rol de los emigrantes indonesios en Estados Unidos para revivir el turismo en Indonesia durante las primeras etapas de la pandemia de COVID-19 y su motivación detrás de esos esfuerzos.ResultadosLos hallazgos muestran que el rol de la diáspora provino de dos amplias categorías: 1) activismo social, como transferencia de información, transferencia de habilidades y conocimientos, y 2) activismo económico, incluidas actividades filantrópicas, inversión y remesas, y viajes de regreso a casa. Tanto los motivos altruistas como los de intercambio social son las causas de esta relación. Los hallazgos ejemplifican la “diplomacia de la diáspora” que puede ser aprovechada como capital social para la recuperación del turismo en tierra natal después de una crisis.OriginalidadEste estudio ofrece un análisis profundo del rol de la diáspora en la recuperación del turismo. Este estudio destaca la importancia de los emigrantes como capital social para los destinos y ofrece información sobre el manejo de crisis turísticas mediante la incorporación de este interesante pero ignorado grupo.
