Analisis Penyelesaian Konflik Antara Dinas Perhubungan dengan Juru Parkir dalam Kebijakan Pembayaran Parkir Melalui QRIS di Taman Bungkul Kota Surabaya

One of the problems that often arises in implementing new government policies is resistance from the community. This also happens to the parking payment policy via the QRIS (Quick Response Code Indonesian Standard) system at Taman Bungkul Surabaya. Although basically this policy aims to simplify and modernize the payment system, its implementation has actually triggered rejection from some people involved, including parking officers. This research aims to analyze how the conflict between the Transportation Service and parking officers is resolved in the parking payment policy via QRIS in Taman Bungkul, Surabaya City. The research method used is descriptive qualitative with interviews, documentation and data collection, and uses conflict resolution theory according to Ralf Dahrendorf which states that conflict resolution can be resolved in three ways, namely Arbitration, Mediation and Arbitration. The results of this research are to explain parking fees that have not reached the target, the application of QRIS for parking payments, conflicts of interest and policy evaluation, as well as digital transformation and socio-economic impacts.

Social Conflict and Social Change in Colson Whitehead’s The Nickel Boys

Social conflict is a common phenomenon in everyday life. Basically, social conflict occurs because of differences in interests between the two groups. As a result, this triggers the emergence of social change in society. Not only in real life but conflict can also be represented in literary works, such as in the novel The Nickel Boys by Colson Whitehead. The novel tells about the social conflicts that occurr in black and white US society, especially at the Nickel Academy. Furthermore, this study aims to determine the form and impact of social conflict on social change in the novel. This research is included in literary criticism, which uses the sociology of literature approach by applying Ralf Dahrendorf's conflict theory. The data in this study were taken from the novel The Nickel Boys by Colson Whitehead, which was published in 2019 by Doubleday, US. Research data were analyzed by identifying, classifying, interpreting, and making conclusions. This research resulted in two findings. First, the social conflict in the novel is represented through several acts of discrimination that occur at Nickel Academy. This social conflict occurred as a result of differences in interests and goals between groups in the social structure there, namely the Nickel Academy staff group, which has the above social structure (superordinate group) and the Nickel Academy student group, which has the lower social structure (subordinate group). Second, the social conflict that occurs in the novel has an impact on social change which is related to the social structure that exists in the Nickel Academy. This change is represented by the removal of the social structure that was there by the US government. Moreover, the researcher suggests future researchers use another approach, such as structuralism, psychology, or others. In addition, they can also use other conflict theories, such as the conflict theory of Karl Marx, Lewis A. Coser, or George Simmel.

According to Ralf Dahrendorf, conflict occurs based on differences in interests of groups with interests. In the potential political conflict in the 2024 presidential election, it will be very easy for conflicts of interest to arise based on each presidential candidate and vice presidential candidate. Conflict is seen as the result of social inequality and differences in interests between individuals or groups. Such conflicts can play an important role in changing political agendas, resolving social problems, and creating long-term changes in society. However, conflict can also threaten social stability and worsen social integration.

On Advantage or Disadvantage of Academic Scholarship for Life

The article with allusions on Nietzsche’s provocation about history lessons proposes an interdisciplinary approach to academic scholarship considered as a special cultural and organizational form of advanced studies aimed at professional development or skill exchange, which have influence on human being in contemporary societies involved in the process of globalization. The theoretical conceptualization of institutionalized forms of scholarships and internships is analyze in connection with its practical representation and economical allocation. Pathological representations of academic scholarship as an end in itself are unveiled as a kind of conspicuous consumptions symbolizing the status position or exclusivity on the borders between academic community and mass-media. The purpose of this article is to explicate some representations of academic scholarship in the contexts of the academic capitalism searching the way of overcoming its utilitarian limitations with universal ethical imperatives. To realize such a purpose, phenomenological reduction is applied in combination with the biographical method. Assumptions made in the article are verified on biographical fragments of curriculum vitae of influential sociologists such as Ralf Dahrendorf and Niklas Luhmann, because the social and professional self-realization and revision of the life-priorities of them was due in many aspects to academic scholarship gained by different ways but with success, especially in the field of educational policy and in the case of establishing democracy in the process of post-totalitarian transformation in Germany. This experience can be useful for Ukraine as well. The phenomenon of the cultural shock and its influence on visiting scholars is explicated. The role of communication between epistemic cultures is emphasized on by overcoming epistemic injustice and establishing academic integrity.

Teori Manajemen Konflik Dalam Pendidikan Islam

Management is organizing that involves many people and working together to achieve goals. Within organizations, of course, there are differences of opinion, incompatibilities and contradictions which give rise to many conflicts, from small to large conflicts, both hidden and overt. There are positive, negative and neutral conflicts. There are four structures that often give rise to conflict, namely hierarchical conflict, functional conflict, line-staff conflict and formal-informal conflict. Conflict in an organization originates from three things, namely: communication problems, organizational structure and human factors. Furthermore, there are three stages that must be passed in an effort to resolve conflict, namely: conflict analysis planning, conflict evaluation and conflict resolution. Strategies for dealing with conflict can be through forcing, avoding, compromising, collaborating, and smoothing. The figures of classical sociological conflict theory are as follows Polybus, Ibn Khaldun, Nicolo Machiavelli, Jean Bodin, Thomas Hobbes. The modern sociological figures who put forward conflict theory are Karl Marx, Lewis A. Coser, Ralf Dahrendorf.

Pengaruh Tiktok Shop terhadap Pedagang Pasar Tradisional di Pasar Tanjung dan Ambulu Kabupaten Jember

A traditional market is a place built and managed by the government or private sector in the form of stalls, booths or shops. Without realizing it, the market is also a place for social interaction, because the market is a place where bargaining takes place between sellers and buyers. However, along with the development of technology and science, the existence of the tiktok shop application has made activities in the market increasingly quiet, the income of market traders has decreased, and customers have switched to online shops because they are looking for goods at more reasonable prices with better quality. This research uses the lens of conflict theory presented by Ralf Dahrendorf. According to Dahrendorf, conflict theory is that every society at every point is subject to processes of change. The purpose of this study is to determine the impact of the presence and absence of tiktok shop for traditional market traders. This type of research uses qualitative research with a phenomenological approach. The results of this study show that there is indeed a gap between market traders due to the impact of the covid phenomenon and the emergence of the tiktok shop, the impact is still felt even though the tiktok shop has been closed, such as the impact of decreased income for market traders. Market traders in Ambulu and Tanjung hope that market conditions will soon recover to what they were before the tiktok shop.

Representasi konflik dalam Film Mencuri Raden Saleh

This research aims to explain how the characters in the movie Mencuri Raden Saleh by Angga Dwimas Sasongko experience social events and conflicts. Ralf Dahrendorf's conflict theory can be used to identify social conflicts. The data used is taken from movie footage that illustrates social conflict. The research method used is a descriptive qualitative method. In addition, researchers used the listening method in collecting data. This research results in that all conflicts in the movie are caused by the injustice of the ruling party as the holder of power from the ruling party. Conflicts occur between Piko and her friends with the police, Fela with the car driver, friendship, Piko's father with Permadi, Piko with her father, and Sarah with Permadi's men. All of these conflicts originate from the former President, Permadi. The implication of this research is that what Piko did is the same as what some people experienced during the New Order era. To obey the will of the Supreme Father, he will do anything, including committing crimes. If we dare to refuse, don't expect our safety and that of our families to be protected. After conducting this research, there are limitations in using Ralf Dahrendorf's conflict theory, namely not maximizing or exploring the theory. Suggestions for future research are to try to use other theories to be more varied. Keywords: film, conflict, painting, representation

KONFLIK PEMERINTAH ADAT DAN PEMERINTAH NAGARI DALAM PENGELOLAAN PASAR TRADISIONAL DI NAGARI DUO KOTO

Conflict is one of the social phenomena that occurs in market development. Conflicts can occur as a result of revitalization, development or rejuvenation carried out by the government or market managers. Such a conflict occurred between the Nagari Duo Koto Government and the Traditional Government (KAN Duo Koto) regarding the construction of an acaic market in Nagari Duo Koto. The researcher chose to conduct this research because the hegemony of power between the traditional government and the nagari government in market management has caused conflict, thereby hampering the implementation of market development. The problem in this research is what forms of conflict issues and behavior and the causes of conflict between the Traditional Government and the Nagari Government. Apart from that, this research problem also explains how to resolve conflicts between these two equal institutions. To look at this problem, researchers used Ralph Dahrendorf's conflict theory which explains that conflict between power holders shows the existence of unequal power and a malfunction of the rescue valve.
 The method used is a qualitative method which is descriptive analysis with two data collection techniques, namely in-depth interviews and supported by data documentation. From the results of the analysis, it was concluded that conflict issues emerged and developed related to market development programs not being implemented, and power holders disagreeing in understanding the applicable laws. The causes of the conflict between KAN and the Nagari Government are the existence of interest factors in the implementation of market development, the failure of the rescue valve in the conflict that occurs, gaps in structure or understanding of information, and the mismatch between formal and informal environments which are also causes of conflict. The conclusion from the results of this research is that Ideas and notions that contain various interests in the implementation of village funds in market development are the main cause of conflict.

The open society and its life chances – from Karl Popper via Ralf Dahrendorf to a human geography of options and ligatures

Abstract. In recent decades, geography in the German-speaking world has been strongly oriented towards Anglo-Saxon and French concepts. For some years now, efforts have been emerging to consider the potential of German language, not only philosophical but also sociological and anthropological traditions of thought for human geography in Germany and beyond. This article considers two thinkers from the German-speaking world who have dedicated themselves to defending the open society: Karl Popper and his student Ralf Dahrendorf. In particular, the operationalization of open society considerations in Ralf Dahrendorf's conflict theory shows great potential especially for human geography research, as conflicts in the use and design of material spaces as well as over conceptual versions of spaces are commonplace. This thesis gains its current validity not least from the resurgence of authoritarian and totalitarian ideas that reject the achievements of open societies and always have spatial implications. It is therefore time to turn to the four central theorems of the two thinkers: (1) Popper's three worlds theory and (2) the concept of open society and (3) Dahrendorf's concepts of life chances and (4) conflict regulation.

PERUBAHAN STATUS SOSIAL TERHADAP WILAYAH PERINDUSTRIAN DI KOTA SIDOARJO

Humans are dynamic social creatures. As social beings, there are elements that make up the structure as in the structural theory of conflict from Ralph Dahrendorf. The elements that exist in the motives of each community group certainly have different purposes, interests, and goals. This study aims to determine the factors that influence the occurrence of social mobility of the farming population towards industrial areas in Sedati District, Sidoarjo. Data were collected using quantitative methods using questionnaires and analyzed using scoring analysis techniques using the Guttman scale and descriptive analysis. The results of the analysis show that the structural conflicts that occur to the farming population in Sedati District occur due to changes in the physical conditions of the area and changing community structures.

SOCIAL CONFLICT IN PETER TIERYAS’S THE MECHA SAMURAI EMPIRE SERIES

This study discusses the social conflict in Peter Tieryas's Mecha Samurai Empire Series. The aim of the study is to find out the reason for the causes of social conflict and their effect in the three novels and to find out the categories and types of social conflicts that appear in the story. The writer chooses the novel series because of the depiction of social conflict in the post-World War two settings where Nazi Germany and the Empire of Japan win the second world war. In this study, the writer uses the qualitative descriptive method and sociological literature approach. To analyse the social conflicts of the novel series, the writer uses Ralf Dahrendorf's social conflict theory. The writer finds that there are two factors why social conflict appears in the novel, the background of the conflict and the attempt of each group in each novel to become the conflict group. Aside from that, the writer finds that the categories of conflict in the United States of Japan and Mecha Samurai Empire novel are exogenous conflict while Cyber Shogun Empire is endogenous conflict. There are four types of social conflict in the story. In the United States of Japan, the type of conflict is George Washingtons against the Empire of Japan. In Mecha Samurai Empire, the type of conflict is the National Revolutionaries of America against the Empire of Japan. In Cyber Shogun Revolution, there are two types of conflict, the Sons of War against the Empire of Japan and the Bloody Mary Group against the Empire of Japan.

Роль антропологии Канта в теории конфликтов Р. Дарендорфа: «Необщительная общительность» в человеческой природе, культуре и политике

My paper focuses on one of the most discussed key concepts of Kant’s social philosophy, namely on his notion of “unsocial sociability”, from the perspective of its influence on Ralph Dahrendorf’s theory of social conflicts. In the first part, I show how various areas of Kant’s philosophy – his ethics, philosophy of history, anthropology, social and political philosophy – are connected through this concept, and briefly describe the key features of its critical reception. In the second half of the article, I turn to the question concerning the role of this concept in Dahrendorf’s theory. I show that this concept was already implicitly present in his early studies of the 1950s and was gradually becoming a more explicit part of his approach to the analysis of conflicts, playing its most prominent role in his works of the 1980s and 2000s. In contrast to those critics of Dahrendorf who regard the notion of unsocial sociability as methodologically alien to his social theory, I argue that Kant’s concept is used as its theoretically substantiated component rather than an anthropological vignette that only pays tribute to Kant as a social thinker. Moreover, it still significantly influences more recent approaches, primarily because it allows scholars to see conflicts in a normative light and to critically assess utopian elements of previous interpretations.

DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES: A FIELD OF NEW OPPORTUNITIES OR AN OBSTACLE FOR THE PERSONAL AND PROFESSIONAL REALIZATION OF PERSONS FROM THE ROMA COMMUNITY

In the modern global world, digital technologies are becoming more and more necessary and a mandatorycondition for successful personal and professional realization. We live in a world where digital change and the entryof new technologies into various social spheres have a significant impact on the way each one of us works, buys,communicates and communicates. A number of analyzes are available in the specialized literature, which take intoaccount the fact that through the ongoing digital change, an evolutionary change is taking place in society withsignificant socio-economic consequences, which bring risks and opportunities for profound changes in the socialstructure of society. In order to prevent polarization in society, action is needed to benefit vulnerable individuals andsocial groups. One such action is related to the achievement of equality of opportunity.Thus, not full equality is achieved, but "achieved inequality" (Parsons 2005) which replaces "assigned inequality" asa result of belonging to a certain class, ethnicity or gender by birth. If we have to paraphrase Ralph Dahrendorf'sthesis (RalfDahrendorf 1979), for the digital transition to happen, new technologies must increase the opportunitiesand improve the life chances of the different social groups in society. A research question of great practicalimportance is how new technologies, instead of deepening existing socio-economic inequalities, can create newopportunities for everyone, including vulnerable groups at risk, against whom statistical data show a lag in the use ofthe Internet for professional and personal fulfillment. The recovery and digital transition must be fair and include thedifferent social groups in society. Insufficiently researched in Bulgaria is what are the opportunities and risks thatdigital technologies hide for the representatives of the different ethnic communities.The present report follows the theoretical tradition of the multidimensional stratification approach, founded by MaxWeber, to determine divisions and positions in the social structure of society. On the basis of a series of in-depthinterviews conducted among representatives of the Roma community within the framework of a project on the topic:"Digital divide and social inequalities: levels, actors and interactions", funded by FNI at the Ministry of Educationand Science, an attempt will be made to answer the research question.

Dinamika Relasi Nabi SAW dengan Yahudi Perspektif Teori Konflik Ralf Dahrendorf

This article aims to find out the form of connection that occurred between the Prophet Muhammad and the Jews in Madina. The population of Madina consists of a wide variety of tribes, religions, and social and economic levels. In this situation, it is perilous for conflict to occur. It is known that there were three popular Jewish groups in Madina, namely the Banu Qainuqā, the Banu Naḍīr, and the Banu Qurayẓah. In addition, the author wants to explore the factors that influence the dynamics of the connection between the Prophet Muhammad SAW and the Jews. In order to find out the answer to the question, this research was conducted using qualitative methods from the perspective of Ralf Dahrendorf's conflict theory. The results of this study were: First, the relations started when the Prophet Muhammad SAW moved to Madina and the involvement of the Jews in a mutual agreement. Furthermore, the axis of the conflict began to appear when there was a debate on the issue of faith and worship. Second, the factors that influenced the relations of the Prophet Muhammad SAW in the perspective of conflict theory were three factor; the factor of the seizure of authority, the ethnocentrism factor and transferred culture factor.
