Pemberdayaan Forum Pemuda Lintas Agama (FPLA) dalam Penguatan Kapasitas Anggota Sebagai Aktor Penggerak Toleransi di Kabupaten Kulon Progo Yogyakarta

Indonesia is a country built on the foundation of multiculturalism. Since the beginning, the founders of this Republic were aware of this, so that the first principle of Pancasila reads God Almighty. This is an important indication that Indonesia is not a religious state, all religions before the state have the same and equal position. The state, in fact, guarantees all citizens to be free to worship according to their respective religions and beliefs. However, the life of the nation, state and society in a concrete sense is not always as good as it is conceived. In practice, religious primordialism, religious fundamentalism, and even radicalism still frequently occur. According to certain religious teachings, this group isolates, or even is hostile to, adherents of other different religions. The forms of this movement vary, from the most violent in the form of acts of terrorism, to the most gentle in the form of rejection of other parties who are different. Young people who have just entered high school and university are easy targets of this movement. Whereas in fact, the Indonesian nation from a cultural historical aspect, is a nation that loves harmony, a nation that respects and respects differences, united in the spirit of mutual cooperation. However, the spirit or soul is often covered by the massive fundamentalism movement carried out by this particular group. Therefore, departing from the above problems, we are collaborating with the Kulon Progo Interfaith Youth Forum (Forum Pemuda Lintas Agama) to organize activities that can foster unity and tolerance, especially among youth in Kulon Progo. Kulon Progo is used as an object because it is in a transition period to become an urban area, which of course there will be many identity intersections in the community. The activity was successfully held for two online discussions. The first discussion discussed tolerance and harmony between religions in a more general context. How is the situation in the world and in Indonesia itself.This was followed by a second discussion by presenting representatives from several religions, to convey the perspective of tolerance from their respective religious teachings.

Rancang Bangun Sistem Informasi Kader Organisasi Forum Pemuda Pelajar Mahasiswa Tangerang (FPPMT)

In an organization, of course, it cannot be separated from the term cadre or cadre. The strength of an organization is influenced by the cadres in it. If there are militant cadres who have good competence, it is certain that the organization will not experience many obstacles. Therefore, the role of cadres in the organization has a tremendous impact. This study uses interview and observation methods for the data collection process, while in the process of developing the system using the waterfall method which consists of communication with all the elements involved, planning research activities, making models with a unified modeling language (UML) and the last step is making reports. The conclusion of this research is that a Desktop-based application for the cadre data application for the Tangerang Student Youth Forum (FPPMT) has been made. The application is expected to contribute to the research organization.

Russian Youth Forums: Sites of Managed Youth Empowerment

In the 2010s Russia, government-organized local, regional and national youth forums have become major sites for state-youth interaction. These typically weeklong summer camps are organized across Russia, attracting up to one million participants annually. Although the forums have diverse foci, they are all formal platforms of youth participation, aimed at young people engaging in ‘compliant’ forms of activism. Drawing from qualitative content analysis of official reports and media accounts combined with participant observation and interview data, this article analyses the forums as a case of youth policy in an authoritarian political setting. It finds that the government treats youth as a ‘problematic resource’. Moreover, while the forums’ agenda is defined by the policymakers, young people acquire and apply agency to navigate and negotiate the official agenda and re-signify it to respond to their interests. This process, it is argued, has an empowering effect regardless of the constraining authoritarian setting.

Integrating Sustainable Development and Children’s Rights: A Case Study on Wales

The global disconnect between the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC), has been described as ‘a missed opportunity’. Since devolution, the Welsh Government has actively pursued a ‘sustainable development’ and a ‘children’s rights’ agenda. However, until recently, these separate agendas also did not contribute to each other, although they culminated in two radical and innovative pieces of legislation; the Rights of Children and Young Persons (Wales) Measure (2013) and the Well-being and Future Generations (Wales) Act (2015). This article offers a case study that draws upon the SDGs and the CRC and considers how recent guidance to Welsh public bodies for implementation attempts to contribute to a more integrated approach. It suggests that successful integration requires recognition of the importance of including children in deliberative processes, using both formal mechanisms, such as local authority youth forums, pupil councils and a national youth parliament, and informal mechanisms, such as child-led research, that enable children to initiate and influence sustainable change.

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine Residents in the Americas

Introduction: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has affected the physical and rehabilitation medicine (PRM) specialty globally. The effects of this pandemic on PRM residents in 14 countries of the Americas are described in this study. Materials and Methods: This study is based on the international survey done by the World Youth Forum of the International Society of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine. The cross-sectional data obtained were analyzed for a point-of-view study (August 2020). Results: PRM residents reported multiple challenges in their training program including mental health issues during the pandemic. In all the countries, there was either complete or partial closure of services provided by PRM specialists at the height of the crisis. In some areas, there was a necessity to temporarily transform the rehabilitation service into a COVID-19 unit and to assign residents to medical and intensive care units. Residency programs in 13 countries introduced virtual lectures and examinations. The duration of residency will probably increase in three countries, may not be affected in another six, and is still undetermined in five. The specialty licensing examination was temporally suspended/postponed in four countries, administered in a modified way in one, and has not been affected yet in four. Conclusion: COVID-19 pandemic adversely affected the training of PRM residents in the Americas. Despite the efforts to overcome this, the residents need more support including well-being programs. Every country and training program should continue to evolve to adapt to the crisis and anticipate additional challenges in the near future.

FROM NEGATIVE TO POSITIVE PEACE: STRENGTHENING THE ROLE OF YOUTH IN RELIGIOUS PEACEBUILDING IN BUKITTINGGI, WEST SUMATRA

Youth as religious peacebuilding actors still receive less attention in academic studies and peace praxis. It often makes youth being depicted as victims or as perpetrators of violence in religious conflict. This study specifically seeks to explore the efforts of youth involvement and also to strengthen the capacity of the youth in making religious peacebuilding in Bukittinggi, West Sumatra. By using the action research method, this research found that Bukittinggi is at negative peace, which is still at the level of mere absence of war and saving the seeds of mutual suspicion between interfaith believers. It is undoubtedly because of a lack of interaction and openness between the interfaith believers. As for the strengthening efforts are undertaken through interfaith youth forum, youth for peace workshop, and the initiation of the interfaith youth organization. That various efforts give hope for the future of religious peace in Bukittinggi from negative peace to positive peace. It is because youth offer creative energy and active potential to transform violent conflict and foster active peace.
 Keywords: Youth, Religious Peacebuilding, Negative Peace, Positive Peace, Bukittinggi.

THE ISPRS STUDENT CONSORTIUM: SUSTAINING RELEVANCE AND CREATING SHARED VISIONS FOR THE YOUTH

Abstract. The ISPRS Student Consortium (ISPRS SC) continues to engage the youth in many activities aligned with the mission and vision of ISPRS. For the term 2016 – 2020, the ISPRS SC strengthened its foundations through collaboration within the ISPRS Council and Technical Commission V, and increasing its presence in various ISPRS events. The Consortium Board introduced several changes in the organization: (1) re-designed the official logo, which was used in different communication and media, (2) revision of the Consortium’s Statutes, (3) continued the legacy of the summer schools through a new set of guidelines that coordinated all summer schools organized within ISPRS, (4) launched the Webinar Series, (5) repackaged the Newsletter into SpeCtrum, (6) introduction of two new awards, (7) hosting of a three-day Youth Forum in the ISPRS Congress and (8) the introduction of the ISPRS SC Student Chapters. A total of 13 issues had been published under SpeCtrum, two of which featured the ISPRS and an outstanding special issue on Women in Remote Sensing and Geospatial Information that received over 500 reads overnight. The SpeCtrum continued to seek experts, professors and contributors who willingly shared their work and inspire the youth. SpeCtrum had been publishing high quality articles and had been featuring outstanding scientists and researchers in the fields of remote sensing, photogrammetry and spatial information science. The Consortium also launched the Webinar Series and kicked off with an introduction on Google Earth Engine and followed by the applications of deep learning in remote sensing in 2020. For this term, a total of 16 summer schools were hosted across the globe, including one hosted under the ISPRS Education and Capacity Building Initiatives in 2018. The Consortium also partnered with international organizations such as Geo-informatics and Space Technology Development Agency, ASEAN Research and Training Center for Space Technology and Applications and the local chapters of the IEEE – Geosciences and Remote Sensing Society Young Professionals (IEEE – GRSS YP) in Brazil. The members of the Consortium had been increasing in the past year, especially with its increased presence in various social media platforms. The Consortium envisions a future, where the younger generation takes the lead and engages in relevant social and global issues and contributing significantly to the scientific community. As a student and youth organization, it aims to continue to develop more ways of knowledge transfer, capacity building and establishing professional networks to prepare students and young professionals for a future of collaboration and cooperation.

Contribution of remote sensing and GIS to mapping the fire risk of Mediterranean forest case of the forest massif of Tlemcen (North-West Algeria)

Forest fires are one of the major environmental problems that cause harmful economic and ecological damage. The Algerian forest and in particular the Tlemcen forest massif where the national park is located are very affected by the repetition and the danger of fires. We count 1600 fire starts recorded during the period from 1980 to 2015. This situation is influenced by the ecotourism status and the high human accessibility, in the forest area as well as the significant development of road infrastructure in the middle of the forest. Noting also the characteristics of the plant formations and topographical in the area seriously promote the flammability and combustibility of the vegetation. Faced with this problem, it is necessary to protect the Tlemcen forest massif by mapping the risk zoning of forest fires. In order to achieve this objective, we followed an approach inspired by the Turkish model developed by Erten et al. (In: XXth ISPRS congress, youth forum, July 12–23, 2004, Istanbul, Turkey, pp 33–39, 2004) and based on the multi-criteria analysis method AHP with a hierarchical combination of six parameters, ecological, topographic and human on the one hand, and a classification of these parameters according to their sensitivities to fires on the other hand. This uses remote sensing data and GIS tools. The results obtained gave five risk classes (very low, low, medium, high and very high); the high and very high risk occupy 48.27% of the total surface studied. The validation of these results was made by the multitemporal analysis of satellite images dating from 2001 to 2017 and the superimposition of the burnt spaces detected on the fire risk map. The final documents provide valuable assistance to decision-makers and facilitate the protection and sustainable management of forests.
