  • Reconnaissance Study Of
    (a) Large Reservoir and Small Pump Capacity In most drainage areas, a pumping station is characterized by storage of flood in a large reservoir placed at the pumping station so as to minimize pump capacity, thus initial cost and operation cost. Table 3.18 includes data of pump capacity and area of reservoir attached. However, as explained in the 1973 Master Plan Study Report, if pumps are small, the reservoir may not yet empty before the next rainstorm. (b) Complicated Network of Drainage System The pump drainage areas in the DKI Jakarta have complicated network of drains with a lot of gates. Flood water is so controlled by gates to distribute optimum discharge to downstream in consideration of flow capacity of main drain, pump capacity as well as down stream water level including Sea Level. (c) Planning without Consideration of Secondary and Tertiary Drains The other characteristics of drainage system in the DKI Jakarta is that existing pump capacity and starting water level of a reservoir of a pump drainage area are so determined that highest water level or the Design Flood Level along the main drain is lower than the existing bank elevation for one day flood with 25-year return period, assuming that most of rainfall can be drained to the main drain. However, there are a lot of flood prone areas in pump drainage areas. One cause of inundation in flood prone areas may be improper installation/maintenance of secondary/tertiary drains, though gravity drain can be attained. Also high Design Flood Level of main drain may be other causes why rainwater is difficult to be drained.

  • FROM MODERATISM to FUNDAMENTALISM; Portrait of Shifting the Religious Understanding of Makassar Islamic Students
    FROM MODERATISM TO FUNDAMENTALISM; Portrait of Shifting the Religious Understanding of Makassar Islamic Students Syamsurijal Researcher at Litbang Agama Kemenag Makassar Email: [email protected] Abstract: Students have been asked as intellectuals who have high critical power. Therefore students are not only a driver of a social change, but at the same time are not easily influenced or participate in certain currents of thought and understanding, especially if it is related to religious understanding. Students' critical attitude becomes a kind of filter to sort and filter out various religious ideas and ideas. But the view that sees students, especially Muslim students as a critical group, seems to be faltering lately. Instead of being a critical community group with a variety of new religious understandings, Muslim students actually became the target of the new Islamic doctrine of religious understanding. The doctrine of religious understanding is precisely textualism and fundamentals. This qualitative research shows that several large campuses in Makassar were exposed to the Islamic understanding and changed them from moderate Muslim students to Muslim fundamentalist students. Keywords; Social Change – Critical – Doctrine – Textualism - Fundamentals Introduction The process of globalization does not only obscure the boundaries between countries, but also facilitates the 96 From Moderatism to Fundamentalism movement of ideology and ideology from one country to another. Key Deaux and Shaun Wiley in Gail Moloney (2007), once mentioned the existence of moving people and shifting representations in the context of globalization. Where there is a movement of a group of people from a particular country or place to another place. This process will result in population changes in one place, which in turn shifts people into representing their religious understandings.

  • LITERATUS Literature for Social Impact and Cultural Studies
    LITERATUS literature for social impact and cultural studies The Pseudo Rivality of Political Elites in The Governor Election East Java Province in 2018 Rivalitas Semu Elite Politik pada Pemilukada Gubernur Provinsi Jawa Timur 2018 Muhammad Aditya Pradana Departemen Ilmu Politik, Universitas Indonesia Depok, Jawa Barat Abstract Rivalry and elite cooperation in Indonesia exist due to the existence of interests between groups of actors that intersect with each other in various aspects. That the elite always tries to create consensus through cooperation on the calculation of profits even though there is rivalry between the elites who intersect. This can be seen from the post-conflict local elections in East Java in 2008, 2013, and 2018. In the 2008 and 2013 East Java regional elections, Soekarwo became Khofifah's rival. However, in the 2018 East Java election, Soekarwo turned to support Khofifah and decided not to support his deputy for two periods, namely Saifullah Yusuf. This study wants to see the factors behind elite rivalry and cooperation, especially in the context of the 2018 East Java Regional Election. This research uses qualitative methods. In addition, this research also uses the theory of antagonistic cooperation, boundary control theory, party- led transition, and integration theory and elite circles. The results of this study show that there is a role for the national elite, in this context the DPP of the Democratic Party and the influence of President Joko Widodo in the transition of Soekarwo's support to Khofifah. In addition, this study also found that there was a relationship of interdependence between Seokarwo and Khofifah.

DR. H.

Umumnya, seseorang yang akan melaksanakan perkawinan mencari dan memilih pasangannya sendiri, tetapi bagi kader Wahdah Islamiyah, untuk memilih pasangan hidup baiknya melalui petunjuk Murabbi/Pembimbing. Pada tahapan praktiknya, petunjuk Murabbi tersebut selalu mengarah kepada sesama anggota organisasi. Dengan demikian, mayoritas kader Wahdah Islamiyah dikawinkan dengan anggota organisasinya. Jika terdapat kader yang akan menikah dengan seseorang di luar anggota organisasinya, maka calon pasangannya tersebut diharuskan untuk mengikuti program tarbiah. Berdasarkan hal tersebut, penulis tertarik untuk mengkaji motif-motif yang mendasari dan orientasi hukum yang hendak dicapai dalam pelaksanaan perkawinan pada kalangan anggota Wahdah Islamiyah di Manado. Selain itu, penulis juga menganalisis makna perkawinan di kalangan anggota Wahdah Islamiyah di Manado. Penelitian tesis ini merupakan penelitian lapangan dengan menggunakan

  • Homo Sacer: Ahmadiyya and Its Minority Citizenship (A Case Study of Ahmadiyya Community in Tasikmalaya)
    Homo Sacer: Ahmadiyya and Its Minority Citizenship (A Case Study of Ahmadiyya Community in Tasikmalaya) Ach. Fatayillah Mursyidi1*, Zainal Abidin Bagir2, Samsul Maarif3 1 Universitas Gadjah Mada, Yogyakarta, Indonesia; e-mail: [email protected] 2 Universitas Gadjah Mada, Yogyakarta, Indonesia; e-mail: [email protected] 3 Universitas Gadjah Mada, Yogyakarta, Indonesia; e-mail: [email protected] * Correspondence Received: 2020-08-27; Accepted: 2020-11-30; Published: 2020-12-30 Abstract: Citizenship is among the notions mostly contested after the collapse of a long-standing authoritarian regime in 1998. The reform era – after 1998 - radically transformed Indonesia into a democratic country and brought many other issues including minority issues into the forefront. Unlike other countries that draw their citizenship on a clear formula between religious and secular paradigm, Indonesia, due to ambivalence of its religion-state relation, exhibits fuzzy color of citizenship that leaves space for majority domination over the minority. In consequence, the status of Ahmadiyya for instance, as one of an Islamic minority group, is publicly questioned both politically and theologically. Capitalized by two Indonesian prominent scholars, Burhani (2014) and Sudibyo (2019), I conducted approximately one-month field research in Tasikmalaya and found that what has been experienced by Ahmadiyya resembles Homo Sacer in a sense that while recognised legally through constitutional laws, those who violate their rights are immune to legal charges. This leads to nothing but emboldening the latter to persistently minoritise the former in any possible ways. Keywords: Ahmadiyya; Citizenship; Homo Sacer; Minority; Tasikmalaya. Abstrak: Kewarganegaraan termasuk di antara istilah yang kerap diperdebatkan pasca peristiwa runtuhnya rezim otoriter yang lama berkuasa pada tahun 1998.

After the Bogor Declaration on Muslim Action on Climate Change 2010, in 2011, The Indonesia Council of Ulama (MUI) established the Institute for Environmental and Natural Resources (PLHSDA) in the MUI’s Clerical Conference. The role of this unit within the MUI is very important because the MUI has a special unit in tackling various important issues in the environment, where Muslims can find authoritative answers to environmental challenges. So far, there have been seven MUI fatawa¯ (edicts) released by MUI related to the environment and the conservation movement. This paper will highlight environmental movements by the Muslim community in Indonesia, and describe how the implementation of the MUI fatawa¯ can contribute to addressing the massive increase in environmental challenges and increase the involvement and understanding of the Muslim communities in tackling biodiversity conservation as well as climate change.
