This paper evaluates the dynamics of ethnicity and politics in the 2007 and 2012 gubernatorial elections in Jakarta. Previous research has mostly emphasised the negative impact of ethnicity on politics in the reformasi era, particularly through ethnic polarisation. By closely evaluating the major ethnic groups living in the mega-city, i.e. the Javanese, Betawi and Chinese, the author shows that the relationship between ethnicity and voting patterns is an intricate one that is not static, particularly if one evaluates a commonly overlooked but crucial factor – the time frame. The author argues that ethnicity continues to play a role in elections even though it is less significant than education and flood variables. The relationship between ethnicity and voting patterns is thus very dynamic, being related to the political context at the time of an election. The findings in this paper open up new questions on ethnicity and politics in a plural society like Indonesia.
Penelitian ini menguji pengaruh penggunaan media sosial dan penyimpanan pesan di memori otak serta pengaruh berdasarkan demografi (gender, kelompok jurusan, pendapatan orang tua, dan pendidikan orang tua) terhadap pengambilan pesan dari memori otak untuk mengenali hoaks. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan model kapasitas terbatas yang bertujuan untuk mencari faktor determinan yang memengaruhi kemampuan seseorang dalam mengenali hoaks. Subjek penelitian 100 orang mahasiswa UIN Jakarta. Dalam analisis data, penelitian ini menggunakan analisis regresi linear berganda. Hasilnya menunjukkan bahwa penggunaan media sosial berpengaruh negatif dan signifikan terhadap pengambilan pesan dari memori untuk mengenali hoaks itu berarti semakin tinggi penggunaan media sosial karena obesitas informasi maka semakin rendah kemampuan seseorang mengenali hoaks. Adapun secara simultan atau bersama-sama variabel dalam penelitian ini memiliki pengaruh yang signifikan terhadap pengambilan pesan dari memori otak seperti yang ditunjukkan oleh tingkat signifikansi F < α (0.000 < 0.05) dan R-Square sebesar 0.576. Artinya kontribusi variabel independen dalam memengaruhi variabel dependen sebesar 54,9%, sedangkan sisanya sebesar 42,4%, dijelaskan oleh variabel di luar penelitian ini. Secara keseluruhan penelitian ini menjelaskan penggunaan media yang tinggi dan penyimpanan pesan di memori otak yang rendah (terbatas) memungkinkan seseorang kesulitan mengenali hoaks, begitu juga sebaliknya.

This study assesses the Willingness to Pay (WTP) for environmental conservation in a community with limited incomes that is experiencing peatland degradation. Rantau Baru village is a unique environment in which both aquatic and peatland ecosystems are equally dominant, but community members mainly depend on the freshwater ecosystem for livelihoods and income. Based on survey data from 152 households, the study uses a contingent valuation method (CVM) to measure how villagers value each ecosystem and an ordinary least square (OLS) method to measure the significance of factors influencing WTP for conservation of peatland and fishing areas. It finds that WTP for conserving fishing areas is closely associated with household expenditures, while WTP for conservation of peatlands is associated with education and weakly associated with household expenditures. Community members’ WTP for the conservation of both peatlands and fishing areas is very much associated with their perception of these environments.
