The social dynamics occurring within an organization can reflect many things such as balance, integration, conflict, and even the pattern and form of the organization itself. This article discusses the social processes and interactions that emerge in the student organization of the Muhammadiyah Student Association (IPM) of the Special Region of Yogyakarta in dealing with internal and external challenges and dynamics to build balance. These things are important as a learning process for students and to integrate mutual support among students and its member. Using a qualitative approach, this article researched the subject of the IPM at the Regional level with informants consisting of administrators. The article found two important things related to the pattern and form of social processes carried out by internal actors of the organization, such as (1) the role of actors who can understand the internal and external situations of the organization so that they can understand the dynamics of the organization; and (2) the intensity of communication and meetings is a fantastic way to maintain the internal IPM’s system so that it can be maintained to solve challenges and problems within internal organization. These two things are strengthened by the process of adaptation and integration that are approached formally and informally in the social process in IPM.
In recent years, halal food and products have been expanding into the global economy, and today's halal market is estimated around USD 2.4 trillion globally. This article discusses the understanding and articulation of halalness and halal certification among non-Muslim business communities in Indonesia, focusing on owners of small and medium enterprises (SMEs). Their voices need to be heard and responded to, especially by government agencies. Since the non- Muslim communities’ understanding of halalness is mostly based on their life experiences, it could be treated as empirical data to inform policy-making. Meanwhile, the government has issued Halal Product Assurance (JPH) Law 33/2014, which mandated the establishment of the Halal Product Assurance Organizing Agency (BPJPH). The enforcement of JPH Law is an attempt to strengthen the BPJPH’s position, but it faces challenges and conflicts of interest in politics and business. Using a qualitative approach to collect data from non-Muslim SME business players in Yogyakarta and Semarang, this study found that the articulation and understanding of halalness are narrowly sectoral, religious, and ideological. Rather than halal certification, the Indonesian Food and Drug Authority (BPOM) has become a more trusted certification. Therefore, the presence of the state is needed to regulate and optimize the fundamental aspects of halal certification, such as hygiene, cleanliness, and health.

Makna dan motivasi perjalanan mendasarkan aspek-aspek yang sangat pribadi dari para wisatawan yang tidak bisa dilepas terkait dengan hobi, preferensi, keinginan, dan bahkan moral yang menentukan tren besar di kalangan pelancong muda. Sosiologi pariwisata khususnya tentang motivasi perjalanan telah dijadikan sebagai kerangka teori untuk melakukan penelitian dan mencari tahu minat dan motivasi para wisatawan muda yang menghabiskan waktu dengan berwisata ke Gunungkidul. Dengan metode deskriptif kualitatif, penelitian ini melakukan wawancara dengan para wisatawan muda yang berkunjung ke kawasan wisata alam di Gunungkidul, Yogyakarta. Penelitian ini menemukan dua hal, pertama para wisatawan muda di Gunungkidul lebih suka berwisata alam kemudian mereka mengunggah foto-foto pilihan yang mereka anggap sebagai kenangan pribadi itu sebagai pamer dan narsis di media sosial, dan kedua, kegiatan memposting foto adalah untuk menginformasikan kepada calon wisatawan agar lebih mengenal tempat-tempat tersebut sebagaimana yang telah mereka lakukan dengan cara yang sama sebelumnya. Temuan terakhir menunjukkan fenomena yang sangat umum tetapi belum dirumuskan sebagai efek promosi dari sikap pamer dan foto narsis oleh wisatawan.
