Abstract

Praktek-Praktek kekerasan dalam inisiasi sekolah merupakan bentuk tindakan dehumanisasi yang dilakukan di tingkat sekolah menengah atas di Indonesia terhadap siswa-siswi baru. Implikasi negatifnya muncul tidak hanya di internal sekolah saja, tetapi secara sosial telah merambah ke level yang lebih luas, yaitu merebaknya perilaku kekerasan di tengah masyarakat. Situasi yang telah berlangsung lama ini memerlukan penanganan secara kultural melalui Kemah Perdamaian (Peace Camp). Peace Generation sebagai salah satu organisasi berbasis pemuda menggelar program ini untuk mempromosikan nilai-nilai solidaritas, dialog antaragama, tindakan nir-kekerasan, dan pengenalan identitas sebagai modal berinteraksi sosial di lingkungan sekolah, keluarga, dan masyarakat. Melalui Kemah Perdamaian praktek-praktek kekerasan di sekolah secara perlahan berhasil diminimalisir dan diinternalisasi.

Abstract

Appropriate technology is actively involved in the discourse of the developing of environmental friendly technology that can be used by local household in the developing countries. Still, many experts neglect the social dimension that may affect the sustainability in the pre and after construction processes. By acknowledging the theory of appropriate technology and social construction of technology, this paper is in attempt to shed the light of social dimensions that are often embodied in the social setting in which technology is constructed.

Abstract

The paper concerns a youth environmental movement in Bandung to save the urban forest Babakan Silawangi. It is proposed that space for protest plays a significant role in social movements such as environmentalism. Public assembly allows activists to voice their political objections and make their discontent known to the citizenry. Yet political space is different to physical place. According to Henri Lefebvre, political space is an assemblage of co-creation by individuals who occupy the space and demonstrate their subjective meanings for it in expression and lived experience. Since the subjective/collective meanings perceived and experienced by the activists are powerfully enacted, the space itself may shape their identity and this study explores those meanings, which are relational, contextual, and spatial.

Abstract

Biogas development in Indonesia has reached a large number of users since 2009 and the technology has had a successful adoption rate at the local level. However, the ways that users develop and adopt innovation with regards to this useful technology has been under-researched. This study aims to address the innovations being undertaken by biogas users; these innovations are a decentralising process of technical knowledge that is based on users’ interpretations of pre-existing social and cultural values they experience in everyday life. Through innovation, users can demonstrate a greater sense of ownership, which leads to them feeling more able to integrate the biogas into their lives, including its incorporation into agricultural activities at home. The main recommendation drawn from this research is that users’ ideas and knowledge, as well as the social-cultural values underlying their everyday lives, should be taken into account in order to ensure successful construction processes and that they be understood as co-shaping elements that will enable a smooth immersion of the users and the technology.Article History: Received November 26th 2015; Received in revised form January 15th 2016; Accepted January 26th 2016; Available online How to Cite This Article: Alam, M.
