This study aimed to explore the harmonious relationship between human and nature that is still maintained by the Malay people of Kampong Tua Nongsa in Batam. Everyone who visited Batam will have perception that Batam is an industrial city with various metropolis conditions. It cannot be denied that it is true. The industrialization magnet in Batam has attracted the attention of many immigrants from various regions to try their luck to be better. The effects of rapid immigration and the many industrialization of Batam have had quite an impact on environmental conditions, especially this island which is bordering with Malaysia and Singapore. The amount of industrial pollution, deforestation, settlements, and reclamation has a bad impact on the natural situation. But behind all of that, Batam has uniqueness. The government still maintains there are 37 points of Kampong Tua Malay scattered throughout Batam. Behind the glamor of Batam's industrialization, there are still remnants of Malay culture that have a close relationship with the environment. In the research conducted, researchers analyzed three of cultural objects that are still preserved, namely the Sacred of Bunbun, the Sacred of Puak, and the Sacred of Batu Belah. In this article, researchers focused on the Myths behind the Sacred of Batu Belah, which still reflected the harmonious relationship between humans and nature. By using an ecocritic approach, the researcher answers the variable related with the relationship between man and nature behind the myth. The method used is a qualitative method with in-depth interviews and observation as data collection techniques. Using critical analysis techniques, the results of this study indicated that the ecocritic representation behind the Batu Belah myth is reflected from the existence prohibitions behind it. These prohibitions show how the Malay community is still able to maintain a harmonious relationship between humans and nature.

Abstract Four chronicles written by Alberto Blest Gana between April and May 1862 in the newspaper La voz de Chile, months before the publication of his novel Mariluán, shed light on the close relationship between his production as chronicler and writer. Among the various faits divers discussed in the columns, the issue of a Mapuche delegation’s arrival in Santiago to hold a parlamento with the government about border disputes arises. The oscillating attitude of the chronicler in the face of otherness and his prejudiced comments, which are at the same time full of doubts and perplexities, serve as an incentive for his composing a utopian fiction. This article aims to examine the connections in the relationship between Blest Gana chronicler and novelist to expand the reading possibilities of Mariluán.

Abstract Water is a multidimensional element for the indigenous communities of the Andean highlands. The Kichwa community Fakcha Llakta, of Otavalo, Ecuador has a close relationship with the existing water bodies in their territory. However, traditional knowledge associated with these resources is fading, giving way to new forms of use. The purpose of this research is to reveal the meanings of water for this indigenous community, in order to propose guidelines for sustainable resource management. It is an ethnographic study with a qualitative approach. The information was collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation by the research team, and the gathering of cultural objects. The findings were organized and sub-grouped according to four recurring elements: vital and sacred; diversity of use and value; a threatened natural resource; and the sustainability of water from the ancestral perspective.

The increase in the number of HIV-AIDS cases in the last ten years from 2008 to 2017 in Toba Samosir Regency with an average HIV growth of ≥ 7% and AIDS growth of ≥ 31%, has to be handled by implementing a special program. The lack of coordination between HKBP AIDS Committee Balige and Regional Government has to be made since there is no similar opinion about HIV-AIDS, the government agencies which are joined in the Committee of Regional AIDS Handling are not focused on prioritizing HIV- AIDS problems, and coordination in planning has not been optimal so that the budget is limited. The objective of the research was to find out the coordination between HKBP AIDS Committee, Balige and the Regional Government in HIV-AIDS Handling program in Toba Samosir Regency. The research used qualitative method (phenomenology design) which was aimed to get information about the coordination in preventing and handling HIV-AIDS in Toba Samosir Regency, with 20 informants. The data were gathered by conducting in-depth interviews and documentary study and analyzed by using content analysis. The result of the research showed that coordination, involvement, and active participation of all agencies in the KPAD (Regional AIDS Handling Committee), the implementation of budget planning, and activity planning were inadequate. It is recommended that formal meetings be increased in order to develop communication and to create good coordination, either from budget planning or from the implementation of handling HIV-AIDS in Toba Samosir Regency.

AbstractThe study aims to know the existence of operation of madrasah in regions with few moslems in Manokwari Regency, West Papua Province. Using qualitative method, the study result shows that the operation of madrasah in the study location is initiated by migrant people from outside Papua. All madrasahs there are operated in Transmigration settlements and in Hidayatullah pesantren. If we see eight components of education, the madrasahs generally have not met the SNP. From the government policy, the madrasahs have not gained equal treatment from the regional government and the regional parliament due to political, socio cultural, religious and ethnicity factors while the policy of the ministry of religion still refers to the government’s policy through the Central Government’s Performance Plans not realized in accordance with the region’s need. The relationship between the madrasahs and the migrant people is good as the people need comprehensive Islamic educational service and formal education is yet available in their settlements. However, the relationship with indigenous people is hampered by regulations imposed on migrants that sometimes bring loss. AbstrakPenelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui eksistensi penyelenggaraan madrasah di daerah minoritas muslim di Kabupaten Manokwari, Propinsi Papua Barat. Dengan menggunakan metode kualitatif, hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penyelenggaraan madrasah di lokasi penelitian dilatarbelakangi kedatangan masyarakat migran dari luar Papua. Seluruh madrasah di sana berdiri di lokasi Pemukiman Transmigrasi dan di lingkungan pondok pesantren Hidayatullah. Dilihat dari kondisi delapan komponen pendidikan, umumnya madrasah tersebut belum memenuhi SNP. Dilihat dari kebijakan pemerintah, madrasah belum memperoleh kebijakan yang berkeadilan dari Pemda maupun DPRD, yang disebabkan oleh faktor politik, sosial budaya, agama dan etnis. Sedangkan kebijakan Kemenag sendiri masih mengacu pada kebijakan pusat melalui Rencana Kinerja Pusat (RKP) yang terkadang realisasinya tidak sesuai dengan kebutuhan daerah. Hubungaan madrasah dengan masyarakat migran cukup baik, karena pendirian madrasah memang dikehendaki oleh masyarakat tersebut, karena masyarakat sangat membutuhkan layanan pendidikan agama Islam yang utuh dan layanan pendidikan formal yang memang belum tersedia di sekitar pemukiman mereka. Namun hubungan dengan masyarakat penduduk asli, terkendala dengan aturan-aturan yang berlaku yang juga diterapkan pada penduduk pendatang yang terkadang merugikan.

This article attempts to elaborate the confusion in the terms risk and speculation by explaining the differences between the two, as well as the relationship between them.This article also explains the concept of classifying speculation into positive and negative and formulates and analyzes indicators of both. The research method used is a qualitative method with a comparative study approach. The data sources are classical books, journal articles, related dissertations, dictionaries, economic dictionaries and internet articles. The data collection and analysis are done deductively. The results of this study are: 1. There is a close relationship between risk and speculation. Speculation is sometimes used to mean risk (positive speculation), and sometimes it is used to mean negative speculation; 2. Positive speculation is speculation that has a small possibility of loss, occurs in derivative activities, contains large benefits, is harmless and does not contain elements of akl al-mal bilbathil;3. Negative speculation is speculation that has a large chance of loss, occurs in major economic activities, contains great danger, is not beneficial and contains elements of akl al-mal bilbathil. 4. Not all speculation is forbidden by Islam. Only negative speculation is forbidden.

In 1893, the Government of India revised the handbook for the officials who conducted its relations with the Indian States. The new edition included a chapter on titles and ceremonial because of “the great importance of these matters in Indian Political business”. Modern scholars agree that what we now call “honours” and “civic ritual” are worthy of study; and Stern's monograph on Jaipur State, and Dirks's on Pudukkottai, are only two of the many recent works that have noted the central role that titles and ceremonial played in the relationship between the British Paramount Power and the princes and chiefs of India.

Apart from having a socio-economic dimension, agrarian conflicts in Bongkoran, Banyuwangi Regency, East Java Province, Indonesia, also have a legal dimension. There is a dualism of law that is conflictual in terms of land tenure and use claims. One party, the government, and corporations rely on legalistic-positivistic state laws, while local people rely on folk law, namely informal laws that have existed, lived, and developed in communal society for generations. This research focuses on how the sociological perspective of law analyzes the legal conflicts that occur in Bongkoran agrarian conflict, particularly between state law and folk law. This research used a qualitative method with a legal sociology perspective. The research subjects were farmers/people of Bongkoran, Community Legal Advisors (CLA), Government (Local Government, National Land Agency, and Police), and corporate elements (PT Wongsorejo). Informants were selected using a purposive sampling technique, based on certain considerations that can be recognized beforehand, namely recognizing and understanding the problem under this research. Data collection was conducted through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The collected data were analyzed qualitatively by referring to the perspectives that have been presented. The results indicated that the resolution of agrarian conflicts in Bongkoran requires the implementation of laws that are more just for local communities. The implementation of the laws is not only based on rigid articles in the law, but it needs attention to the socio-cultural and historical context of the community. The dominance of state law over folk law in agrarian conflicts results in the practice of subjugation of state law to folk law, both persuasively and repressively. Therefore, to minimize the tension and conflict between state law and folk law in agrarian conflicts, it is necessary to have a new understanding of the relationship between the two laws. The existence and enforcement of folk law are used as a complementary element in normative aspects that have not been regulated in state law.
