 Social conflicts become a record of homework that needs to be resolved immediately by forming an Integrated Team for Handling Social Conflicts. So far, there has been institutional overlap in handling social conflicts and violence, therefore synergy is needed.  There is overlap between institutions in handling social conflicts and violence against women and children. The need for an integrated national action strategy was discussed in the third FGD of the collaboration between CSWS FISIP UNAIR with Friedrich Ebert Stiftung (FES) Indonesia and the Coordinating Ministry for Human Development and Culture.

 The most dangerous effect of carok is vengeance. There is a struggle between symbolic power and symbolic power. In Maduranese culture, symbolic power lies in both men and women. In carok there are a series of values in the form of a show of real power and symbolic power: protecting and maintaining the honor and dignity that is inherent by individuals.  Therefore, if someone interferes with their existence (interfering with their symbolic power) then the individual will act in a carok way. This matter formed the structure of an aggressive mindset among the Madurese community then. They consider that the ability of carok is an act that is appreciated in the Madurese society. Thus, carok is legitimized and accepted as a socially cultural 'right' act.

 Democracy which is always assumed to be in transition will find it difficult to achieve real democracy. Can you criticize, where is the transition from democracy? The political reality of regional autonomy is often a reference for measuring the existence of substantive and deliberative democracy. Local/Regional autonomy and democracy are a series of rational activities that are reciprocal since democracy in this country is in the reform/post-New Order constellation. The implementation of local/regional autonomy has given rise to various democratic practices that are difficult to name with certain concepts, because they do not exist in a democratic order. The contestation between elites to advance to become a candidate for regional head (Regent/deputy Regent, Governor/deputy Governor, mayor/deputy mayor) is not encouraged to run democracy, but to gather power by using political vehicles calledpolitical parties. Anyone can buy a political vehicle if it can generate real power in the...

 As an archipelagic country, the potential for salt in the country is very large. Salt is one of the needs of the community which is often an irony, because it is rich in coastal areas but is often not balanced with comparable salt productivity. In fact, the realization of salt absorption by the food and beverage industry was 800,000 tons as of February 2020. Salt industrialization is growing because of the potential land area of 9,789 hectares, although only 2,348 hectares have been utilized.The potential of salt in the West Nusa Tenggara region, especially the Jerowaru area, deserves attention.  Strengthening social capital between various local communities in the form of synergistic cross-stakeholder coordination functions, especially between village governments, non-governmental organizations (LPDN), Awig-Awig Stakeholder Institutions, and law enforcement officials. In the future, it is hoped that the strengthening of social capital can generate a good business climate for...

It's not easy to implement the green city concept in a big city in Surabaya. With the passage of time and the development of green open spaces, the temperature gradually drops to 28-29 degrees Celsius. This green open space continues to be added, until one day, the temperature in Surabaya can reach 22 degrees Celsius. That is the policy target set by the mayor of Surabaya in 2019. The different parks are also the main attraction in Surabaya. The Surabaya City Cleanliness and Green Open Space Service (Dinas Kebersihan dan Ruang Terbuka Hijau/DKRTH) stated that the area of green open space (Ruang Terbuka Hijau) in the capital city of East Java province has now reached 7,356.24 hectares or 21.99 percent of the city area. Courtesy of Freepick.com In Surabaya there are as many as 573 city parks spread over various points which of course can reduce air pollution and lower the temperature in the city of Surabaya.

The KPK puts forward the concept of three approaches in guarding clean elections. First, a repressive approach that aims to create a deterrent effect. Second, a prevention approach by improving government systems and governance so that people cannot be corrupt. Third, the approach to education and public campaigns. This method targets changes in public awareness, so that people do not want to commit corruption. Courtesy of Freepick.com In Indonesia, on September 23th, 2020, there will be 270 simultaneous regional head elections, which include: 9 provinces, 224 regencies, and 37 cities. In total, there are 32 provinces that will carry out the Pilkada. This simultaneous regional election is considered the right time to elect regional heads with integrity and accountability. Rows of corruption cases have ensnared regional heads to former regional heads in Indonesia. Since the Corruption Eradication Commission (Komisi Pemberantasan Korupsi/KPK) was formed, 21 governors have been caught in ...

The amount of costs that must be paid by candidates for regional heads and candidates for deputy regional heads during regional head elections is suspected to be the cause of many of them being involved in corruption cases. This condition is compounded by the government's neglect of building a transparent and accountable system. There is a relationship between high election costs and corruption involving regional heads and deputy regional heads. So, when elected and in power, they tend to try to return the capital that has been used to win the Pilkada, either by buying voters' votes, providing basic necessities, and paying money to their success team. This caused the regional head to be arrested by the Corruption Eradication Commission (Komisi Pemberantasan Korupsi).

The politics of spatial planning in the city of Surabaya is still far from the spirit of spatial planning as formulated in Law Number 26 of 2007 concerning Spatial Planning, especially paragraph 5 of Article 28, which states that urban spatial planning includes; (a) plans for the provision and utilization of green open space; (b) plan for the provision and utilization of non-green open space; and (c) plans for the provision and utilization of infrastructure and facilities for pedestrian networks, public transportation, informal sector activities, and disaster evacuation rooms, which are needed to carry out the function of the city area as a center for socio-economic services and a center for regional growth. That means, spatial planning has not been fully oriented to the interests of sustainable development. Courtesy of Freepick.com There are problems faced by stakeholders in an area/region.

Measuring the welfare level of a country only relying on statistical data from per capita income or Gross National Product (GNP) is a step that is often done. However, these data have never been correlated with data on environmental damage, for example, or data on the health level of residents at a certain age (Priemus, 1999: 219). In fact, if we examine the statement in the previous paragraph, high economic activity will also produce high waste material, which in the end leads to great pressure on the environment and has a negative impact on organisms that inhabit the environment. The bad impact can be in the form of health problems on the human body, the personal implication is that it interferes with work productivity as well as high costs for health care. Meanwhile, the political implication is that the government will be under high budget pressure to finance health services for its citizens.

The paradigm of development at the beginning of the millennium can be said to have changed, one of the factors that influenced this shift was the issue of global warming at the end of the decade of the 90s. The issue of global warming itself raises the facts of the destruction of the ecological balance caused by rapid industrialization in almost all corners of the earth. Industrialization in first world countries contributes the highest carbon emissions, while in third world countries they are often blamed for their contribution to clearing tropical forests.

The green city as a concept for realizing green open space in Surabaya is expected to be able to create a balance of land use for development in the economic, socio-political, cultural and environmental fields to achieve the goal of establishing green open space in living in Surabaya. The current area of ​​green open space in Surabaya according to data from the Surabaya City Cleanliness and Parks Service (DKP) is in reality only 3,000 hectares compared to the area of ​​the built area, which is still not sufficient for Surabaya, which is 326 thousand hectares. Based on the East Java RTRWP 2005 – 2020, the green open space in Surabaya should have an area of ​​about 6,500 hectares including urban forest.

 There is a serious problem in the distribution of space allocation in the city of Surabaya. The distribution and disparity of Surabaya's urban space is the result of the struggle of the various elements that make up the city of Surabaya in the 1900-1960s. The struggle for space that occurred at that time was caused by the relationship between the poor and the state and private entrepreneurs who faced each other in accessing urban space. The poor who are actually also part of the state entity in every historical period have to deal directly with the state and private entrepreneurs for the same interest, namely the control of urban space. Courtesy of Freepick.com Collusion between the state and private entrepreneurs during the colonial period showed a repressive face in order to exploit resources to the fullest. The poor are the direct victims of this system. Poor people are reproduced continuously and are positioned in non-strategic places such as factory workers, shop assistants, ...

Women’s role as peace promoters and their contribution to inventing peace and post-conflict reconstruction need to be developed. Although this is a big challenge because in everyday life, the role of women as the closest promoters of peace at the grassroots level still encounters many obstacles (structural and cultural). Generally, society and families are influenced by the socio-cultural (traditional) position of women prevailing in certain areas. Courtesy of Freepick.com Women’s role as mother, wife, sister and daughter help to rebuild social networks, revive the local economy, spread the nation's cultural heritage and promote family values that place the values of peace above all else. The potential to influence their husbands or male relatives to seek a more peaceful solution to the conflict should not be underestimated. Therefore, women need to be called for and involved in formulating peace and resolving occurring social conflicts. Women are not only victims and vulnerable, b...

The Indonesian government has determined that the appropriate institution to handle women and children in social conflicts is not the Timdu (Integrated Social Conflict Management Team), but the Working Group for the Protection and Empowerment of Women and Children in Social Conflict (Pokja P3AKS). This institution was formed as a response to the high number of social conflict potential and social conflict cases that happened in Indonesia and caused deprivation of security, safety, peace, and human rights from the Indonesian people.

Spatial planning politics that focuses on planning aspects is dangerous, threatens the survival of people's lives and the existence of the city. The ideal spatial politics should be harmonize various social, economic, cultural, and environmental factors. Ignoring one aspect or vice versa, emphasizing one aspect means creating inequality or destroying the social and ecological environment of the city. Saving the ecology by building green open spaces is a good step. Likewise, providing open public spaces is much better. But the problem is that development is expensive, the government cannot provide green open spaces or develop public spaces that can be accessed and used by the community as a place for social interaction. There is a trend nowadays (starting from the 20th and 21st centuries, existing and available public spaces are attached to buildings called malls and plazas.
