ADAPTASI SOSIAL-EKONOMI MASYARAKAT RUMAH LANTING SEBAGAI BENTUK KETAHANAN HIDUP DI BANTARAN SUNGAI KAHAYAN, PAHANDUT SEBERANG
The purpose of this study is to identify factors that influence adaptation and to analyze the socio-economic adaptation strategies of stilt house communities on the banks of the Kahayan River, Pahandut Seberang, Palangka Raya.This study conducted descriptive qualitative research with a case study in Pahandut Seberang. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, field observations, and documentation of seven key informants, namely heads of families who had lived in the area for at least five years. The results showed that economic factors and river-dependent occupations, such as fish cages, which require physical proximity, were the main reasons for choosing stilt houses. There are three main types of adaptation used. The first is physical adaptation, which includes independent drinking water treatment and floating stilt houses; the second is economic adaptation, which includes dual livelihood strategies, such as fishing and fish cages; and the last is social adaptation, which is created by enhancing mutual cooperation and solidarity among residents to overcome infrastructure limitations and environmental impacts. Overall, stilt house communities use socio-economic adaptation strategies to demonstrate local resilience to development pressures and environmental change. These findings are crucial in helping local governments develop more equitable, inclusive, and sustainable policies for riverside communities.

DINAMIKA SOSIAL EKONOMI PEDAGANG PAKAIAN DI PASAR TRADISIONAL PADA ERA DIGITALISASI PERDAGANGAN: STUDI SOSIOLOGIS DI PASAR KAHAYAN KOTA PALANGKA RAYA
The development of digital technology has changed the social and economic dynamics of traders in Kahayan Market, Palangka Raya City. The emergence of platforms such as Shopee, TikTok Shop, and Tokopedia has encouraged a shift in people's shopping patterns from direct transactions to more practical online transactions. This study aims to analyze the socio-economic dynamics of clothing merchants in Kahayan Market and the survival strategies they have developed in the face of the pressures of digitalization. A qualitative research approach was used, employing observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation of a number of clothing merchants and basic necessities merchants. Data analysis was conducted through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. This study uses Anthony Giddens' Structuration Theory to explain changes in social structure due to the presence of digital technology, as well as James C. Scott's Survival Strategy Theory to understand how traders face or respond to economic threats. The results of the study show that digitization changes social interaction patterns, weakens solidarity among traders, and encourages the emergence of defensive survival strategies, such as lowering prices, reducing operational costs, shifting the type of merchandise, and adjusting operating hours. Referring to James C. Scott's view, traders adopt various forms of adjustment that focus on meeting basic needs and efforts to maintain family economic stability through low-risk strategies. They tend to take practical and realistic measures to avoid major losses, such as reducing inventory, delaying purchases, or seeking safer buying and selling opportunities. On the other hand, older traders tend to use more passive strategies due to limitations in accessing and understanding digital technology. Overall, this study shows that digitization not only changes the structure of trade but also impacts the economic stability and social relationships of traders in traditional markets

MAKNA SIMBOLIK DAN NILAI BUDAYA RITUAL TANAM KEPALA KAMBING DALAM TRADISI HAJAT BUMI KRAMAT GANCENG: ANALISIS TEORI CLIFFORD GEERTZ
The goat head planting ritual is the core of the Hajat Bumi tradition, which is regularly celebrated by the community of Pondok Ranggon, Cipayung, East Jakarta. This tradition has been preserved as a manifestation of syncretism between local beliefs and Islamic religious practices, making it a contrasting object of study in an urban environment. This study aims to explore the symbolic meaning of the goat's head as a symbolic system and to understand how this ritual functions in constructing the cosmic order and collective motivation of the community. Using a qualitative-interpretive research method based on Clifford Geertz's theory of religion as a symbolic system and thick description techniques, data was collected through interviews and documentation studies. The findings show that the goat head is a dense symbol that formulates the cosmic order of sacrifice, warding off evil, and moral purification from animalistic nature. This symbol successfully creates a mood of calm and persistent motivation among residents to preserve tradition. Culturally, this ritual represents the harmonization of Islamic teachings with ancestral traditions, which ultimately affirms the unique socio-cultural identity of the Kramat Ganceng community amid modernization. This study contributes to the study of the sociology of religion through an interpretive understanding of how ritual symbols function in the cultural life of urban communities. These findings have implications for strengthening our understanding of strategies for preserving local culture in urban environments.

PERINGATAN TRADISI HAUL KYAI GEDE CEPER SEBAGAI SARANA EDUKASI PEMBENTUKAN MORALITAS MASYARAKAT SEMBUNGJAMBU, PEKALONGAN
The Haul tradition of Kyai Gede Ceper in Sembungjambu Village, Pekalongan, is an annual religious ritual that persists and has a significant influence on the formation of community morality. This study aims to analyze how the series of haul rituals, cultural symbols, and social practices within it function as a means of tradition based moral education. Using a qualitative approach with observation techniques, in-depth interviews, and documentation, this study is analyzed using Clifford Geertz's symbolic perspective to interpret the symbolic meanings that emerge from ritual practices. Research results show that the haul tradition encompasses two main categories of morality: spiritual morality, manifested through the recitation of khotmil Qur'an, tahlil, and mass haul; and social morality, manifested through socializing, cross-generational participation, and community organizational solidarity. These ritual symbols form webs of meaning that affirm religious identity as well as the social ethics of the community. Furthermore, the strategy of collective involvement of all layers of society keeps haul relevant as a transgenerational educational mechanism that transmits moral values in dailylife.

RELOKASI PKL DAN RESPON KONSUMEN TERHADAP KONDISI SOSIAL EKONOMI PASAR MINI DATAH MANUAH, KOTA PALANGKA RAYA
This study aims to examine how the policy of relocating street vendors to Datah Manuah Mini Market affects the social and economic conditions of the market and how consumers view the changes that have taken place. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach involving five consumer informants through in-depth interviews, observations, and document collection. The results show that the relocation of vendors has had a positive impact on the cleanliness, order, and layout of the market. However, this relocation also caused new problems, such as a decrease in the number of visitors, a less strategic market location, and a lack of facilities such as lighting. Socially, the relationship between vendors and consumers still exists, but the intensity of interaction between the two has decreased dramatically because the market feels emptier. Economically, the vendors' income has decreased significantly, affecting the continuity of their businesses. Consumer perceptions of this relocation policy vary, ranging from supporting the city's development goals to criticizing the accessibility and atmosphere of the market, which did not exist before. These findings indicate that the success of the relocation policy depends on social and economic factors and how consumers understand these changes, as explained in Max Weber's Social Action Theory

KONTRIBUSI PEREMPUAN NELAYAN TERHADAP KETAHANAN PANGAN DAN EKONOMI KELUARGA DI PETUK KATIMPUN
Fishing is widely practised by women in Petuk Katimpun. This indicates that women have dual roles in their lives. This study aims to examine the activities of women fishing in peat swamps and analyse the roles, functions, and objectives of women as fishermen. The author argues that women fishermen have the capacity and dual roles in their livelihoods to achieve food security and support family economies. An ethnographic approach was used as the research method among women fishermen in Petuk Katimpun. Data collection was carried out through participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and literature studies and analysed using descriptive analysis techniques. The findings show that women make a significant contribution to food security and the family economy. The role of women fishers is not limited to household activities. Still, it encompasses a comprehensive range of tasks, from preparing fishing gear and setting nets or traps to hauling in the catch, sorting the fish, and marketing the catch. The purpose of women working as fishermen is closely related to efforts to secure the family's future, ease the burden on their husbands, and ensure that the needs of large families are met sustainably. Women's income is significant because their husbands' income as fishermen is often uncertain, depending on weather conditions, fishing seasons, and the availability of fishery resources. Women's involvement in the fishing profession and other activities significantly improves family welfare, thereby contributing to food security and family economic resilience. The presence of women fishers is an essential pillar in developing a more inclusive, empowered, and sustainable river community.

KONTRUKSI SOSIAL ATAS FENOMENA “GUS GUS AN”: RELIGIUSITAS, GAYA HIDUP MEWAH, DAN KONTROVERSI MORAL DI MATA PUBLIK
The phenomenon of “gus-gus-an” reflects a significant shift in how the public interprets the identity of gus as young religious figures in the digital era. These gus no longer appear solely as successors of pesantren traditions but also as public figures who construct their image through social media, creating a paradox between their sermons on modesty and their luxurious lifestyles or controversial behaviors. This study aims to analyze how society constructs meaning around this phenomenon using Peter L. Berger's theory of social construction. The research employs a qualitative approach with digital observation, document analysis, and interviews with ten informants from diverse social backgrounds. The data were analyzed thematically and integrated with the concepts of externalization, objectivation, and internalization. The findings indicate that digital media serve as the primary arena for gus to externalize their identities. The public then engages in objectivation through moral judgments, comments, and the formation of labels such as “hedon gus” or “celebrity gus.” This process continues into internalization as society develops new expectations of religious figures based on the consistency between their words and actions. The study concludes that the identity of contemporary gus is a socially negotiated construction shaped by personal expression, mediatization, and public moral perception. This phenomenon illustrates a shifting landscape of religious authority within digital culture.

PEREMPUAN PROFESIONAL: RESISTENSI JURNALIS, GURU, DAN PEGAWAI TERHADAP BIAS GENDER DI TEMPAT KERJA
This article examines the experiences and forms of resistance among professional women facing gender bias in the workplace, focusing on three key professions: journalists, teachers, and public bureaucrats. Although these fields are commonly perceived as domains of professionalism, women within them continue to encounter subtle symbolic and structural barriers in the form of subtle gender bias. Employing a qualitative approach and in-depth interviews with nine female informants across the three professions, this study analyzes how resistance is constructed symbolically, narratively, and collectively. The findings reveal that professional women’s resistance often takes non-confrontational yet effective forms, such as role negotiation, solidarity alliances, and efforts to construct self-images as rational and competent actors. This article contributes to gender sociology discourse by highlighting the dynamics of bias that are not always explicit yet remain detrimental to women. It also underscores the necessity of gender-sensitive institutional reforms to ensure that professionalism no longer functions as a space for reproducing inequality.

KONSTRUKSI SOSIAL KEAGAMAAN PEKERJA LADY COMPANION: STUDI PADA REMAJA GENERASI Z DI MARINDAL, DELI SERDANG
The transformation of teenage prostitution through digital platforms has created the Lady Companion (LC) phenomenon involving Generation Z youth in Indonesia. This study aims to analyze the socio-religious construction of LC in Marindal, Deli Serdang, a buffer zone of Medan City, by integrating the dimensions of Islamic religious values within the framework of Berger and Luckmann's (1966) social construction theory. This qualitative research using a case study approach involved eight informants: four adolescent perpetrators of LC aged 16-18, two community members, one community leader, and one religious leader. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and non-participatory observation from July to December 2025, then analyzed using thematic analysis. This study found three things; First, there are four factors driving adolescent involvement in LC; (1) structural factors (weak family supervision); (2) economic factors (survival and consumer pressures); (3) peer influence (in-group recruitment and normalization); (4) and the role of social media (content exposure and transaction facilities). Second, the social construction process takes place through (1) externalization (initial exposure to peers and digital media); (2) objectivation (normalization of LC as a common reality in peer groups); (3) and internalization (acceptance of LC as a self-identity and redefinition of self-esteem, sexuality, and work). Third, Islamic religious values have also experienced a shift from absolute moral norms to secondary ones in the face of economic pragmatism. Theoretically, this study expands the theory of social construction by showing digital media as a dominant agent of externalization in the digital era and integrating the religious dimension in the analysis of social construction. Practically, the findings imply the need for an integrated approach involving strengthening the family economy, digital literacy based on religious values, and revitalization of religious institutions with a contextual approach.

KONTRUKSI SOSIAL MASYARAKAT TERHADAP PRAKTIK PENGOBATAN ALTERNATIF KE KIAI DI WILAYAH PEDESAAN MADURA
Religious-based alternative healing remains an important part of rural community life despite the increasing accessibility of modern medical services. This study aims to understand how rural communities in Madura construct the meaning of healing through treatment practices involving the kiai as a spiritual figure. A qualitative approach was employed through in-depth interviews with informants who held diverse perspectives regarding such healing practices. The findings indicate that healing is not understood solely as physical recovery, but also as the attainment of inner peace, a sense of security, and a strengthened spiritual connection through prayer and the blessings of the kiai. This practice also contributes to the preservation of tradition and the reinforcement of collectively inherited socio-cultural identity. Using the perspective of social construction, the analysis demonstrates that trust in the kiai is shaped through ongoing social processes, positioning kiai-based healing as a social reality that influences how people interpret health and life. The findings further reveal that seeking healing from the kiai functions not only as a curative effort but also as a space for negotiating religious values, local traditions, and social experiences within rural Madurese society.

DAMPAK AKTIVITAS PERTAMBANGAN EMAS SKALA KECIL TERHADAP DINAMIKA LINGKUNGAN SOSIAL DESA PASIRGOMBONG
This study aims to describe and analyze the impact of Small-Scale Gold Mining (SSGM) activities on the social life of the community in Pasirgombong Village. The focus of the study includes patterns of socio-economic change in the community, lifestyles, and the potential for social conflict that may arise. The research uses a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques through direct observation and in-depth interviews with several key informants, namely active miners and community leaders. Data analysis is carried out qualitatively through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results of the study show that Small-Scale Gold Mining (SSGM) has become a more promising alternative livelihood compared to traditional agriculture and has changed the socio-economic orientation of the community. The presence of mining activities increases income, access to education, and quality of life. Despite socio-economic shifts, communal values and social solidarity remain strong. Conflicts over land ownership and profit sharing are generally minor and are resolved through traditional mediation. Small-Scale Gold Mining (SSGM) is a social phenomenon that reshapes community relationships and structures, with communities able to adapt and manage conflicts through local norms to ensure social stability.

PERAN PERKUMPULAN REMAJA ISLAM DALAM MENUMBUHKAN KESADARAN BERAGAMA REMAJA KOTA (STUDI KASUS IRIC KELURAHAN PAMULANG BARAT KOTA TANGERANG SELATAN)
This study aims to examine the role of Islamic youth organizations in fostering religious awareness among urban adolescents, using a case study of the Islamic Youth Community (IRIC) in Pamulang Barat Subdistrict, South Tangerang City. The research focuses on analyzing the contribution of religious activities, organizational development, and socio-religious programs in shaping adolescents’ religious awareness amid the complexities of urban life. This study employs a qualitative approach using a literature review method by examining books, scholarly journal articles, policy documents, and relevant previous studies related to Islamic youth and religious awareness. The findings indicate that Islamic youth organizations play a strategic role as platforms for religious development by instilling religious values, strengthening Islamic identity, and cultivating adolescents’ religious awareness through participatory and contextual approaches. Furthermore, these organizations function as positive socialization spaces that assist adolescents in coping with the challenges of modernization and urban environmental influences. In conclusion, Islamic youth organizations contribute significantly to the development of religious awareness among urban adolescents. Therefore, this study recommends sustained support from local governments and religious institutions to strengthen Islamic youth development programs.

INTERNALISASI KETAATAN RELIGIUS SEBAGAI LEGITIMASI KEKUASAAN: STUDI KASUS AMBRUKNYA PONDOK PESANTREN AL KHOZINY SIDOARJO
This study examines the relationship between religious obedience and power within religious institutions, focusing on the collapse of the Al Khoziny Islamic boarding school in Sidoarjo. The objective of this research is to analyze how the internalization of religious obedience functions as a form of power legitimation for religious authorities and its implications for social relations and institutional governance within pesantren. This study employs a qualitative approach using a sociological case study method. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and document analysis, and were analyzed descriptively and qualitatively using Max Weber’s theory of power legitimacy and Pierre Bourdieu’s concept of symbolic domination. The findings indicate that the strong internalization of religious obedience reinforces the charismatic authority of the kiai and produces hierarchical and asymmetrical social relations between leaders and santri. When religious obedience is not accompanied by critical awareness, transparency, and accountability, such legitimacy may obscure structural and ethical weaknesses in institutional management, ultimately leading to a crisis of trust and institutional disintegration. This study emphasizes the importance of balancing religious obedience with social control to prevent religious values from becoming instruments of power domination.

DINAMIKA MODERASI BERAGAMA DI INDONESIA: ANTARA IDEALISME KONSEPTUAL DAN TANTANGAN REALITAS SOSIAL
This study aims to highlight the idea of religious moderation as a tool to foster tolerance within Indonesia's diversity, while also identifying obstacles and providing practical recommendations for its implementation in society. Desk research, which makes use of a variety of literary sources, including publications, scientific papers, and other pertinent materials, is the technique employed. The notion, dynamics, and implementation of religious moderation in Indonesia are described through a descriptive analysis of the data. The findings demonstrate that religious moderation is essential for preserving religious harmony in the varied Indonesian community, especially as a strategy to shield society from the effects of extremism, radicalism, and intolerance. But obstacles to its implementation persist, including a restricted comprehension of religion, the impact of extremist ideologies, and precarious social circumstances. Moderate religious education, interfaith discourse, and policies promoting diversity and inclusion as the cornerstone of a harmonious national life are the means through which this research comes to the conclusion that religious moderation can be strengthened.

DINAMIKA PERAN DALAM TRADISI MENGERUMBANG DI TENGAH PERUBAHAN SOSIAL MASYARAKAT PAKPAK
The traditional ceremony of mengerumbang is one of the important traditional rites in Pakpak society, carried out by elderly individuals as a form of repayment of traditional debts to hula-hula before death. This study aims to examine the symbolic meaning, social structure, and socio-cultural function of the mengerumbang ceremony in the context of contemporary Pakpak society and to observe the role of this tradition. The research method uses a qualitative approach with ethnographic methods through participatory observation, in-depth interviews with traditional leaders and ritual practitioners, and documentary studies of local customs and practices. The results of the study show that mengerumbang is not merely a customary ritual, but a social mechanism to maintain the honour of individuals and families, strengthen the continuity of the sulang silima kinship system, support economic redistribution through customary gifts, and legitimise a person's social status within the Pakpak customary structure. Furthermore, changes in ritual practices due to the influence of religion and modernisation indicate a dynamic process of cultural adaptation without eliminating the core meaning of the custom. Thus, mengerumbang functions as a space for negotiation between tradition, identity, and social change in Pakpak society.

KONSTRUKSI SOSIAL ATAS RELIGIUSITAS MASYARAKAT PEDESAAN: ANALISIS FENOMENA KEAGAMAAN DI DESA KENJO, BANYUWANGI
Abstract This research focuses on the dynamics of religiosity in rural communities, which are formed through social interactions and daily religious practices. This phenomenon is interesting to study because religiosity is not only interpreted as a form of individual devotion but also as a result of social processes that occur in community life. The purpose of this research is to understand how the people of Kenjo Village, Glagah District, Banyuwangi, construct and interpret their religiosity through social construction. The approach used was qualitative with a constructivist paradigm. Data were collected through participant observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation of religious activities in the community. The results indicate that the religiosity of the Kenjo Village community is formed through three dialectical stages, as proposed by Berger and Luckmann: externalization, objectivation, and internalization. The externalization process is evident in religious activities such as tahlilan (religious gatherings), pengajian (religious study groups), and selamatan (celebration ceremonies), which serve as a means of expressing spiritual and social values. Objectivation occurs when these practices are accepted as social norms passed down across generations. Meanwhile, internalization occurs through family education and religious institutions, which instill religious meaning as part of the community's social identity. The conclusion of this study indicates that the religiosity of rural communities is not static, but rather is continuously formed and renewed through social and cultural interactions. These findings confirm that religion has a crucial social function in maintaining community cohesion while strengthening the construction of collective meaning in life.

KONSTRUKSI EKOTEOLOGI DALAM PELESTARIAN HUTAN ADAT BAYAN DI LOMBOK UTARA NUSA TENGGARA BARAT
The preservation of the Bayan customary forest in North Lombok is sustained not only by ecological practices but also by an ecotheological construction rooted in the values of Islam Wetu Telu and local customary traditions. This construction shapes the community’s worldview that regards the forest as a sacred space, a source of life, and an integral part of the cosmic order that must be protected. This study aims to examine how these religious and customary values are constructed, institutionalized, and internalized within the community’s environmental practices. Employing a qualitative method with an interpretive ethnographic approach, data were collected through participant observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation studies, and analyzed using Peter L. Berger’s social construction theory. The findings indicate that ecotheological values are expressed through rituals, symbols, and ecological actions (externalization); institutionalized through awig-awig (customary law), local leadership structures, and forest zoning systems (objectivation); and internalized into a collective ecological consciousness that forms the community’s religious habitus (internalization). Together, these processes produce a strong and sustainable ecological ethic, positioning the customary forest not merely as an ecological asset but also as an expression of faith and cultural identity. In conclusion, the ecotheological construction of the Bayan community serves as a spiritual and social foundation for forest preservation, offering a locally rooted conservation model relevant to contemporary sustainable environmental development.

BECAUSE MOTIVE AHBAB: A PHENOMENOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF AHBAB TABLIGHI JAMA’AT DA’WAH MOVEMENT
This article discusses a phenomenological study of Tablighi Jama’at ahbab, focusing on the motives of Tablighi Jama’at ahbab. The purpose of this study is to explore the subjective experiences and unconscious motives of ahbab participating in the Tablighi Jama’at da'wah movement. This study uses a qualitative approach with an exploratory descriptive research type that aims to describe and explore the phenomenon in depth. The data collection techniques in this study used participant observation to directly observe experiences in the field and in-depth interviews to understand the perspectives of the ahbab. In determining the research informants, the author used purposive sampling techniques, and the data obtained was analysed using Miles and Huberman's data analysis. The results of the study show that the reasons for ahbab joining Tablighi Jama’at are: wanting to experience the atmosphere of their previous environment, practising what they have learned, because Tablighi Jama’at does not question specific schools of thought and sects, the approach of Tablighi Jama’at as a means of learning Islam, finding something different in Tablighi Jama’at, protection within Tablighi Jama’at, and because Tablighi Jama’at does not differentiate between ahbab and the redemption of sins. These findings provide an understanding of various factors that motivate people to join a religious movement.

PREFERENSI ORANG TUA DAN SANTRI DI BREBES TERHADAP PENDIDIKAN PESANTREN PASCASEKOLAH DASAR
This study aims to analyze the preferences of parents, students, and the integration of James S. Coleman's rational choice theory in Siwuluh Village, Bulakamba District, Brebes Regency, Central Java, regarding the choice of post-primary Islamic boarding school education. This study is qualitative and uses a case study technique. Data collection uses interview, observation, and documentation techniques. Informants consist of 11 participants consisting of 6 main informants (MFZ, KU, SY, LF, SIM, and WFR), 4 supporting informants (N, R, T, and LNA), and 1 key informant (RA) who has experience in Islamic boarding school education. The data validity technique in this study uses source triangulation. Data are analyzed qualitatively using the approach proposed by Miles, Huberman, and Saldana in the form of data condensation, data models (data display), and making and validating conclusions. The results show that parents and students assess education in Islamic boarding schools positively. Parents' and students' preferences are influenced by family, social, environmental, religious, and reputational factors, as well as comparisons with other similar educational institutions, and are the result of rational considerations. The decision to send children to post-primary school is a rational one based on a cost-benefit analysis. Benefits such as instilling religious values, developing good character and morals, strict social supervision, and protection from negative influences far outweigh the relatively low economic costs.

MODAL SOSIAL DALAM PRAKTIK KULAKAN MAKANAN TRADISIONAL PASAR NUSUKAN, SURAKARTA
The traditional food wholesale practice at the three-way intersection of Pasar Nusukan takes place in the early morning in an open area outside the formal market and operates without official supervision. Despite this condition, the activity remains orderly and consistent. This article aims to explain how the elements of social capital networks, norms, and trust work in producing and maintaining order in the wholesale practice of traditional food among informal traders. This study employs a descriptive qualitative approach through field observation, in-depth interviews, and supporting documentation. Informants were selected purposively and included a traders’ coordinator, wholesale sellers, and buyers involved in the wholesale activity. The data were analyzed by grouping the findings into relevant subthemes and interpreting them through Putnam’s three elements of social capital. The findings show that early-morning wholesale activity follows a recurring transaction pattern, and its orderliness is supported by networks built through routine encounters and communication, norms governing payment compliance, product conformity, spatial use, and the acceptance of leftover goods, as well as trust that accelerates transactions while operating unevenly between long-term and new actors. This study shows that Putnam’s social capital theory is relevant not only for explaining order in urban informal economic practices, but also for understanding how risk-sharing and uneven trust produce informal boundaries of membership among market actors.

PERSEPSI MASYARAKAT TERHADAP PENGGUNAAN CADAR DI KALANGAN MAHASISWI
This research aimed to empirically examine public perceptions toward the use of niqab among female students at Islamic higher education institutions, as well as to explore the social responses, stigma, and coping strategies experienced by niqab-wearing students. The study focused on identifying the motivations underlying the decision to wear the niqab, community attitudes toward this practice, and its psychological and social implications. This research employed a qualitative descriptive approach, with data collected through in-depth interviews and observations involving female students who wear niqab at the State Islamic Higher Education Institution (PTKIN) in Parepare City, South Sulawesi. The informants were selected using purposive sampling techniques. Data were analyzed inductively by organizing the findings into thematic categories related to motivation, social perception, stigma, and individual responses. The results indicate that the decision to wear the niqab is influenced by various factors, including religious commitment, personal comfort, environmental influence, religious understanding, and personal life experiences. Community responses toward niqab-wearing students vary, ranging from acceptance and neutrality to negative stigma and discrimination, which are often associated with assumptions of radicalism, social exclusivity, and perceived limitations in social and professional life. Despite these challenges, the female students demonstrated adaptive coping strategies, such as maintaining positive attitudes, strengthening religious commitment, engaging in social interactions, and exemplifying moral conduct as efforts to counter negative perceptions and gradually build social acceptance.
STRATEGI DAKWAH GUS YUSUF CHUDLORI MELALUI MEDIA SOSIAL
The development of social media has transformed Islamic preaching practices from one-way communication into a dialogical space involving negotiation of religious authority and audience participation. This study aims to analyze the digital preaching model based on the pesantren tradition developed by Gus Yusuf Chudlori on social media and its implications for the construction of religious authority and the audience's understanding of religiosity. This study uses a qualitative approach with thematic content analysis of preaching posts on YouTube and Instagram @gusyusufchannel for the period January–June 2025, complemented by in-depth interviews with the account manager. The research results show that Gus Yusuf's preaching represents a form of negotiation between traditional pesantren religious authority and the logic of social media, characterized by the use of classical book references, communicative language, a moderate approach, and optimization of platform features to build audience engagement. This finding indicates that digital da'wah based on pesantren does not experience a degradation of authority, but rather undergoes a transformation through the adaptive practice of mediatization of religion. This study contributes to the development of digital da'wah and religious communication studies in the new media era.

DINAMIKA INKLUSIVITAS DI PESANTREN: STUDI TENTANG MODAL BUDAYA DAN IDENTITAS SOSIAL
This article is motivated by the need for pesantren to strengthen inclusive attitudes amid diverse student backgrounds and contemporary social dynamics that may foster exclusivity. It examines how cultural capital and social identity function as conceptual foundations for creating a more open and harmonious pesantren environment. Using a library research with a conceptual approach, this article draws on peer-reviewed journal articles, books, and relevant prior studies. Literature was collected through systematic searches using the keywords “cultural capital,” “social identity,” and “pesantren” in databases such as Scopus, Web Of Scene, Ebsco, Doaj, Google Scholar, with sources selected based on relevance and credibility. Data were analyzed through content analysis, including data reduction, thematic classification, interpretation of conceptual relationships, and the formulation of theoretical conclusions. The study proposes a comprehensive model explaining social dynamics and strategies for strengthening inclusivity in modern pesantren. Validity was ensured through careful source selection, theoretical triangulation, and verification of original texts. The findings indicate that pesantren values, norms, and traditions can foster solidarity when aligned with students’ social identity formation; however, misalignment may generate social distance and group dominance. Therefore, strengthening inclusivity requires character development, effective social interaction management, and the cultivation of an adaptive and moderate institutional culture.

WAYANG JAWA SEBAGAI PEREKAT SOSIAL: HARMONI MUSLIM-KATOLIK DI DESA KOLAM
Diverse beliefs in society often pose a challenge to social stability if not managed through inclusive cultural means. This study aims to analyze the role of Javanese Wayang art as a social glue that constructs harmony between Muslims and Catholics in Kolam Village. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews with village religious authority staff, cultural practitioners who understand the philosophy of wayang, and residents actively involved in interfaith interactions, and documentation collecting photo archives of activities, and relevant literature to support the validity of the findings. The analysis was conducted using the Miles & Huberman interactive model through the stages of reduction, presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results show that Javanese Wayang functions as a "third space" that facilitates cross-sectoral loyalty (dual loyalty), where cultural identity as a Javanese community transcends religious dogmatic barriers. This art triggers positive social responses in the form of mutual cooperation and strengthening of collective identity. This study concludes that the integration of religious moderation values through local wisdom is an effective strategy in maintaining the stability of a multicultural society.

KRITIK NETIZEN TERHADAP OTORITAS KYAI DALAM LIPUTAN TRANS7: ANALISIS WACANA TIKTOK BERDASARKAN TEORI RELASI KUASA MICHEL FOUCAULT
This study examines the virality of criticism of the authority of Islamic scholars (kyai) in a Trans7 report widely discussed on TikTok, and how power and gender relations in the context of Islamic boarding schools (pesantren) are reproduced and negotiated through digital discourse. Drawing on Michel Foucault's theory of power relations, this study aims to understand how religious authority is constructed, maintained, and questioned through public interactions on social media. The study uses a qualitative approach with Norman Fairclough's Critical Discourse Analysis method, with data consisting of one TikTok video containing the report and four purposively selected netizen comments as the primary units of analysis. The results show that netizen criticism functions as a counter-discourse that challenges the traditional construction of Islamic boarding school (kyai) authority, particularly on issues of abuse of power, lack of accountability in Islamic boarding schools (pesantren) institutions, and gender inequality. The virality of TikTok plays a significant role in expanding the reach of criticism, creating a participatory space that allows the public to intervene in religious narratives previously dominated by Islamic boarding school authorities. These findings confirm that the digital space has shifted the relationship between Islamic boarding school (kyai) and santri and opened up new mechanisms for the public to evaluate religious practices. This research contributes to the sociology of religion by demonstrating that power relations are no longer static but are continually negotiated through digital discourse. The implications of these findings emphasize the importance of careful production and regulation of religious content on social media, as well as the need to develop a more contextual analytical framework to understand the dynamics of power relations in Indonesian Islamic society.

PERAN TARIAN GAWI SEBAGAI KEARIFAN LOKAL DALAM MEMBANGUN KERUKUNAN UMAT BERAGAMA DI DESA WOLOGAI, KABUPATEN ENDE, NUSA TENGGARA TIMUR
This study aims to analyze the role of the Gawi dance as local wisdom in fostering religious harmony in Wologai Village, Ende Regency, East Nusa Tenggara. This research employs a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentation involving traditional leaders, religious leaders, and local community members selected purposively. Data analysis was conducted using the interactive model of Miles and Huberman, including data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that the Gawi dance functions not only as a cultural expression but also as a social mechanism that strengthens social cohesion. The practice of Gawi creates an inclusive social space, enhances trust, and builds interreligious social networks. From a social capital perspective, Gawi serves as a medium for producing bridging social capital that connects individuals from different backgrounds through shared collective experiences. Furthermore, this cultural practice gains religious legitimacy, allowing it to be widely accepted within the community. This study highlights that local wisdom has significant potential in promoting sustainable and context-based religious harmony. Therefore, empowering local cultural practices can serve as an alternative approach to maintaining social harmony at the community level.

EKSISTENSI TUKANG BECAK DITENGAH DOMINASI OJEK ONLINE DI KOTA PALANGKA RAYA
Traditional modes of transportation such as becaks are part of the informal economy and have long facilitated the movement of people in cities across Indonesia. This study aims to examine the presence of becak drivers amidst the rise of app-based transportation and the strategies they employ to survive in Palangka Raya. The study employs a qualitative descriptive approach, with data collected through interviews, field observations, and documentation. Informants were selected using purposive sampling, while data analysis was conducted using the interactive model by Miles and Huberman. This study employs James C. Scott’s “Survival Mechanisms” theoretical framework, which encompasses three strategies: leveraging social networks, seeking alternative income sources, and adhering to the principle of “cost-saving.” The findings reveal that the presence of online ride-hailing services significantly impacts the economic conditions of becak drivers. This results in low and unstable daily incomes. In response, they seek other jobs, change their operating locations, and wait for passengers without a clear plan. Although their numbers have decreased, pedicab drivers remain because they play an important social role around traditional markets.

ISLAM DAN ETIKA LINGKUNGAN DALAM PRAKTIK MUSLIM DI INDONESIA: DARI TEKS KEAGAMAAN KE AKSI SOSIAL-RELIGIUS
This study aims to analyze the involvement of Islamic mass organizations in mining management in Indonesia from the perspective of Islamic environmental ethics and to identify the ethical dilemmas arising from such involvement. This research employs a qualitative approach using a library research design combined with normative-critical analysis. Data were collected from academic sources, including journal articles, books, and policy documents, and analyzed using thematic analysis to identify key issues related to Islamic environmental ethics, extractivism, and the institutional roles of Islamic organizations. The findings reveal that Islamic environmental ethics is grounded in strong normative principles, such as khalifah (stewardship), amanah (trust), mizan (balance), and the prohibition of fasād (destruction). However, these values are not consistently implemented in institutional practices when confronted with extractive economic logic. The involvement of Islamic organizations in the mining sector generates ethical dilemmas characterized by tensions between religious mandates and economic interests, as well as the risks of moral co-optation and symbolic legitimation. These findings highlight the importance of positioning Islamic environmental ethics as a critical framework for evaluating economic practices and public policies affecting ecological sustainability.

SOSIALISASI KELUARGA PADA KENAKALAN REMAJA DI DESA LEMITO UTARA KECAMATAN LEMITO KABUPATEN POHUWATO
The main focus of this study is to examine the role of family socialization as the primary agent in shaping adolescent behavior and its relationship with juvenile delinquency in rural communities. This study aims to analyze the process of socialization within the family and the factors influencing juvenile delinquency in North Lemito Village, Lemito District, Pohuwato Regency. This study employed a qualitative method with a descriptive approach to gain an in-depth understanding of family interaction dynamics and adolescent behavior within a social context. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation techniques, with informants selected using purposive sampling, including parents, adolescents, and community leaders. The data analysis technique used an interactive model consisting of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings revealed that family socialization has not been carried out optimally, as reflected in the lack of open communication between parents and children, inconsistent parental supervision, and ineffective instillation of moral and religious values. In addition, environmental factors such as peer influence, alcohol consumption, and weak social control within the community further contributed to juvenile delinquency. Therefore, this study emphasizes that the family plays an essential role as the primary socialization agent in preventing juvenile delinquency, highlighting the need to strengthen communication, supervision, and value inculcation within the family in a sustainable manner.

DINAMIKA IMPLEMENTASI SYARIAT ISLAM DI ACEH DALAM PERSPEKTIF SOSIO-LEGAL KONTEMPORER
Islamic Sharia is a religious law that regulates the rules of human life based on the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad (SAW). and based on Al-Qur’an. This study aims to analyze the dynamics of the implementation of Islamic law (Sharia) in Aceh from a contemporary socio-legal perspective. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed, using primary data collected through questionnaires and in-depth interviews, supported by secondary data from legal documents and academic literature. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis and an interactive model of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The finding reveal that the implementation of Sharia in Aceh is a complex and multidimensional phenomenon influenced not only by legal norms but also by social, cultural, and political factors. The level of public understanding of sharia varies significantly, with many individuals demontrating only a formal or superficial understanding rather than a substantive one. In Practice, sharia implementation tends to be more symbolic, particularly in visible aspects such as dress codes and ritual observances, while its ethical and social values are not fully internalized. Furthermore, the relationship between Islamic law and national law reflects a pattern of legal pluralism, where different legal systems coexist and interact, sometimes harmoniously and at other times conflictually.

PEMBERDAYAAN KELOMPOK TANI HUTAN GREEN LAWU DI DESA BERJO KECAMATAN NGARGOYOSO KARANGANYAR
Community empowerment is an important effort to improve the capacity, independence, and welfare of communities, especially those living around forest areas. This study aims to analyze the role of stakeholders in empowering the Green Lawu Forest Farmer Group (KTH Green Lawu) in Berjo Village, Ngargoyoso District, Karanganyar Regency, and to identify the impacts and challenges faced by the group in the empowerment process. This study employed a qualitative method with a case study approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation. The informants consisted of administrators and members of KTH Green Lawu, Berjo Village Government, managers of Tahura KGPAA Mangkunagoro I, forestry extension officers, and Pertamina as a supporting stakeholder through its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) program. Data were analyzed using the interactive model of Miles and Huberman through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The results show that stakeholders play an important role in the empowerment process through facilitative, educational, technical, and representative functions. These roles were manifested through the provision of facilities, mentoring, training, opening access to networks, and support for productive business development. The empowerment process has had positive impacts on improving members’ capacity, creating economic opportunities, strengthening group institutions, and increasing community awareness of environmental conservation. However, the group still faces several challenges, including limited human resources, uneven member participation, limited business capital, and dependence on external stakeholders. Therefore, the empowerment of KTH Green Lawu has progressed fairly well, but it is still at the capacity-building stage and has not fully achieved group independence.

PEMANFAATAN RUANG PUBLIK PADA USAHA MIKRO KECIL DAN MENENGAH (UMKM) DI TROTOAR JL PANJAITAN KOTA GORONTALO
This study examines the utilization of public space by Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) along the sidewalks of Jalan Panjaitan in Gorontalo City. The phenomenon reflects a transformation in the function of sidewalks, which were initially intended for pedestrian facilities but later evolved into social and economic spaces within urban society. The research aims to analyze the patterns of public space utilization by MSME actors and the forms of social interaction emerging within the area. The study applies a descriptive qualitative method using a case study approach. Data collection techniques were conducted through interviews, observations, and documentation involving MSME actors, local residents, visitors, and related government institutions. Data analysis was carried out through stages of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing by applying Jürgen Habermas’s public sphere theory perspective. The findings indicate that the sidewalks of Jalan Panjaitan are occupied by approximately 50 business units, including coffee vendors, snack sellers, fried rice traders, meatball vendors, flower merchants, and cake sellers. The presence of MSMEs not only contributes economic benefits to the community but also encourages social interactions that make the area more vibrant, particularly during nighttime activities. Nevertheless, these activities also affect the primary function of the sidewalks by reducing pedestrian comfort and increasing congestion within the area.

AGAMA MENURUT TEORI SEKULARISASI PETER BERGER DAN JOSE CASANOVA DAN RELEVANSINYA TERHADAP PENANGANAN TERORISME
This study aims to analyze the role of religion within the framework of secularization theory developed by Peter Berger and Jose Casanova, as well as to examine its relevance to the phenomenon of terrorism in contemporary society. This research uses a qualitative approach with a literature study method. The main sources of the study include Berger's works The Sacred Canopy and The Desecularization of the World, as well as Casanova's Public Religions in the Modern World, supported by secondary literature related to religion, radicalism, and terrorism. The analysis is conducted critically and comparatively to observe the interaction between secularization, religious revival, and the emergence of extremist movements. The results of the study indicate that secularization does not eliminate religion but rather transforms its role in the public sphere. Religious revival can strengthen moral and social solidarity, but it also has the potential to produce exclusive and radical religious expressions that legitimize violence. Therefore, efforts to counter terrorism need to consider the dynamics of religion and secularization, not solely relying on security approaches.

The method used is qualitative with a case study approach, including interviews, observations, and document collection. The results show that FoMO encourages students to get involved due to the influence of friends, current trends, and economic factors. In conclusion, the fear of missing out (FoMO) and the use of digital networks influence how students behave economically today.
