This study challenges the mainstream technocratic notion of the digital divide and its access-based policy solutions, which do not appreciate the different information-using capabilities, perceptions, and choices of the people concerned. This notion is examined through the lens of information as structured capital that requires Internet access to be complemented by people's information-using capabilities, inclinations, needs, knowledge, and beliefs, which must also complement each other to allow the effective use of information. Qualitative in-depth interviews with 30 senior South Koreans at a Senior Welfare Center suggest that the information capital possessed by these seniors is ill suited to responding to and taking advantage of Internet use. The social isolation of seniors provides them with neither incentives nor capabilities to restructure their information capital in the ways necessary for ongoing use. This finding sugests that digital divide policies for older people must shift their focus from technology per se toward more comprehensive approaches of dealing with the basic social needs of senior citizens.

Effective Use

In recent years, the fishery population in Japanese fishing ports has halved with a decline of the fishery industry, and the use of fishing port facilities has also been declining. Because of this, there is a demand for effective use of existing fishing ports, which have thus far served only for the primary industry, and there is a transition in their use to higher order industries, indicating a change in the social value of fishing ports. In this study, the social value for realizing the higher order use of fishing port space was analyzed based on the locations of the port, the value of the land, and social needs. Although, with the current classification, 2921 existing fishing ports can be classified into 5 categories, designated class III fishing ports (13 ports), class III fishing ports (114 ports), class II fishing ports (496 ports), class I fishing ports (2210 ports), and class IV fishing ports (101 ports), the findings of this study were applied to develop a new classification which incorporated new social conditions. In this paper, the social value of fishing ports in modern society is shown, and a new classification of fishing ports which differs from the current system based solely on the port size is discussed, taking their social value into consideration.

AbstrakAgama Marapu merupakan akar dari sistem sosial, politik, dan budaya orang Sumba. Di bidang sosial, ia mendasari terbentuknya pelapisan sosial dari kaum bangsawan, orang bebas, dan budak. Di bidang politik, golongan bangsawan mendapat legitimasi sebagai penguasa lokal (raja). Sementara di bidang budaya, agama ini melahirkan ritual yang diyakini berasal dari zaman megalitik, yaitu upacara kubur batu. Upacara ini diselenggarakan secara kolosal dengan melibatkan jaringan kerabat yang luas, pemotongan hewan dalam jumlah besar, penggunaan kain tradisional yang sarat makna, serta berbagai tahapan ritual yang dimaksudkan untuk mengantar arwah jenazah menuju alam leluhur (parai Marapu). Artikel ini mendeskripsikan konsep-konsep dalam agama Marapu dan manifestasinya dalam upacara kubur batu. Konsep-konsep dalam agama Marapu, meminjam analisis Clifford Geertz, telah menjadi model of reality dan model for reality bagi masyarakat Sumba dalam memahami kehidupan dan kematian. Sebagai model of reality, agama Marapu mengandaikan konsepsi ideal tentang kehidupan pasca-kematian, yaitu parai Marapu. Sementara sebagai model for reality konsepsi mengenai parai Marapu menjadi panduan (peta kognitif) untuk memuliakan orang yang meninggal melalui penyelenggaraan upacara kematian, pemberian bekal kubur, dan persembahan hewan kurban. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif, di mana proses pengumpulan data dikerjakan dengan cara melakukan observasi, wawancara mendalam, serta kajian pustaka. Informan dalam penelitian ini adalah kerabat atau anggota keluarga yang hadir dalam penyelenggaraan upacara kubur batu.AbstractMarapu belief is the root of the social, political, and cultural system of Sumba. Socially it underlies the formation of social stratification: the nobles, free people, andslaves. Politically, the nobility have legitimacy as local rulers (kings). Culturally, this belief has given birth to rituals called stone grave ceremony which dates back to megalithic era. The ceremony was held in a colossal way involving extensive network of relatives, large amount of animal slaughtering, the use of very meaningful traditional fabrics, as well as various stages of rituals that are meant to take the bodies to the millieu of an cestral spirits (Parai Marapu).This article describes the concepts of Marapu belief and its manifestations in the stone graveceremony. Borrowing Clifford Geertz’s analysis, concepts in Marapu belief have become a model of reality and models for reality for the people of Sumbain understanding life and death. As a model of reality, Marapu belief counts on ideal conception of life after-death that is Parai Marapu. Whileas a model for reality the conception of Parai Marapu becomes a guide (cognitive map) to honor the dead through the organization of the funeral ceremony, grave goods offering, as well as animal sacrifices. This study used a qualitative approach, in which the process of data collection was conducted through observation, in-depth interviews, and bibliographical review. Informants in this study were relatives or family members who attended the stone grave ceremony.

An age where technology develop rapidly, the lifestyle of people began to shift to that of instantaneous gratification. Even though technology provides convenience and accessibility, at the same time it changes the mindset and behavior of the people into that of anti-social. The lack of interaction added up with high working demand in this 21st century may increase an individual’s stress levels. The existence of physical spaces to support social activity is undeniably minimal. Gadgets may create virtual spaces for people to communicate but they fail to make rapport between one individual and the other. Since the past decades, culture had been one of the activities which brought people and communities together. Culture defines activities which are done in routine thus becomes habits and eventually becomes the community’s character. The occurring social activities gave birth to spaces either physical or non-physical which may support the social needs of the people. Up to this day, people tend to have third activities which they done to get rid of working exhaustion.

Walau teknologi memberikan kemudahan, namun di saat yang bersamaan mengubah pola pikir dan sikap masyarakat menjadi cenderung anti-sosial. Kurangnya interaksi ditambah dengan tuntutan kerja yang semakin tinggi di abad 21 dapat meningkatkan stress pada individu. Keberadaan wadah fisik untuk menunjang aktivitas sosial pun juga kurang. Gadget menciptakan sebuah ruang virtual untuk berkomunikasi namun tidak dapat mendekatkan pribadi secara langsung. Sejak zaman dahulu, budaya menjadi salah satu kegiatan yang membawa masyarakat atau komunitas dalam kebersamaan. Budaya adalah aktivitas yang dilakukan terus menerus secara rutin hingga menjadi sebuah kebiasaan kemudian menjadi karakter dari lingkungan tersebut. Aktivitas yang terjadi melahirkan ruang baik secara fisik maupun non-fisik yang dapat menunjang kebutuhan sosial masyarakat di dalamnya. Hingga saat ini, masyarakat di tengah pekerjaan masing-masing memiliki aktivitas selingan yang mereka lakukan untuk mencari hiburan di tengah kepenatan. Tempat Budaya Pinangsia adalah wadah untuk masyarakat saling berinteraksi sosial dengan berdasarkan pada aktivitas sehari-hari yang melibatkan seni dan budaya. Metode perancangan yang digunakan adalah bahasa pola. Program utama Tempat Budaya Pinangsia meliputi tempat makan dan bermain, tempat karaoke, workshop, dan common space untuk hangout, pengadaan acara, latihan fisik, dll. Tidak hanya terbatas untuk warga lokal, Tempat Budaya Pinangsia juga terbuka untuk pengunjung dari luar kawasan yang mencari kesenangan dan istirahat.

The question of value, in relation to law, manifests itself in two distinct but equally relevant moments: the first, when the norm is produced (nomogenesis); The second, when it is applied (subsumption). The problem question also arises from two different angles: that of justice, supreme value in the legal sphere and that of legitimacy.The results obtained point to the realization that the social forces and all the immanent power of the people impels the Legislative Power, generating the necessity of effecting the nomogenesis, that corresponds to the social needs. And that, at a later moment, the ideology of the judge, conditioned by cultural data in the processes of socialization, guides the subsumption.In order to follow up and theoretical basis of the present research, the search for bibliographical material, more specifically written books, and the digital format, emphasizing the prestigious doctrines and authors was used as the main mechanism of investigation.
