This study was expected to provide essential insights on the effective development of an Islamic crowdfunding website platform integrated with startup companies, investors and Sharia committee.
The research is aimed to know the local government ability in decentralization schema according to the local government financial report that using decentralization fiscal level between central and local government. The result shows that ratio between the local government income (PAD) and total income of local government (TPD) for all local government in Yogyakarta Province in 1996-2006 is very low, less than 10%. The ratio between production sharing for tax and non-tax (BHPBP) and total income of local government (TPD) is also low. Therefore, these phenomena indicate that the ratio of decentralization financial is very low. Other ways to know the local government financial report is using independent level of government local that used the income of the local government for their budget. This shows that the local governmet income (PAD) contribution in the total expenditure of local government (TKD) is still low; therefore the local government financial autonomy is very low. According to those results, the decentralization implementation in Yogyakarta province is not success. The factors that influence in financial autonomy level are contribution level, aid level, government funding, and economy potential. These factors contribute in local government financial level at Yogyakarta Province. This paper shows that contribution level (BM) and PDRB significantly affect local government financial level. Therefore, the BM has negative relation but PDRB has positive one to the autonomy financial level. Beside that, aid variable (BN) and government funding (PP) only have a small effect in the autonomy financial level. Keywords: decentralization, financial autonomy level, local government income
This paper examines the dynamics of a coalition of political parties in Indonesia, especially in the presidential election of 2014 through a Fuzzy approach. The results of this study indicate that the ideology of political parties cannot be used as coalition preferences in absolute terms. The formation of the coalition is heavily based on seeking office interest. In other words, political parties in Indonesia have not been able to gain funding independently but still rely on state resources that obtained through its members in the executive and legislative offices. However, fuzzy logic modeling to the coalition as conducted in this writing is still very simple and need to test rigor of mathematical models that can describe the real condition of the behavior of political parties to form a coalition.

Funds of district development sourced from district of earning and budgeting (APBD) constrained when source of revenue rely on district revenue (PAD) as like as taxes. An act penetration innovatory solution is needed to solve the budget deficit problem such as the potency of Sharia bonds (Sukuk). This article discusses what kinds of potency that become strengths and weaknesses then how opportunities and challenges are faced by Banten Province in an effort to take advantage of sukuk as the source of development budgeting in Banten. Furthermore, what strategis are effective to apply in an attempt to make sukuk as the source of development budgeting in Banten.

The General Elections Commission (KPU) is a state institution that conducts general elections in Indonesia, which includes general election of members of DPR / DPD / DPRD, presidential election of vice president, and general election of Regional Head and Deputy Regional Head. In increasing this participation, it is necessary to encourage the various parties to increase the political participation of the community in the implementation of the General Elections either from the Regional Government, Self or KPU as the Institution that performs the task of conducting the General Elections. This type of research is qualitative with descriptive approach. The sample in this research is the Chairman of KPU and KPU members 1 person, 2 persons pawaslu 2, village apparatus, people and society who have been included in the permanent voter list (DPT) 40 people. In this research, the researcher uses data collecting technique such as: Questionnaire, Interview, and Documentation. The results of this research, According to data sources from the Election Commission of Agam Regency, the number of permanent voters in Agam 2015 Election is 48,325 people.

In line with the findings discussed above, The Election Commission in Agam Regency has performed its duty as the organizer of the General Election, especially in the Regional Head Election of 2015. This can be seen from the Regional Head Election of 2015 has resulted in one pair of Regional Head and Deputy Head of Region. Problems or obstacles encountered in the implementation of the implementation of elections is a matter of insufficient resources apparatus and budget so that in the implementation of the implementation of elections itself can not be implemented optimally. In the election commission which must be done to overcome the problem of the general election to be completed as soon as possible in a policy to optimize all problems that arise in the field of elections to the electoral commission. The problem of the campaign does not stop at that point alone, the candidates who have spent a lot of money in meeting the needs of their campaigns sociologically assume it is their capital occupied the seat of office which is analogous to the venture capital. As a milestone for the party of democracy party, KPU can use its authority to make regulation (KPU regulation) about the limit of number of candidate's fund to conduct campaign. In the law it is regulated that the financial aspect of the candidate is audited by a public accountant but the way tends to be easily by using funding out of the candidate's fund. This can be seen in ICW's research on the time-making of technical rules related to campaign funds that are very late, In addition to experiencing delays in terms of preparation time, the substance of the arrangements also seem normative. Some of the additions included in this support rule even seem to be absurd and unworkable. Existing rules are deemed not to support the achievement of transparency and accountability of campaign fund.Keywords: Election, Money Politics, KPU
Many studies on rice landrace (Oryza sativa sbsp. indica) have been conducted by biodiversity, ethnobotany, and agroecology disciplines. The importance of rice landraces as genetic resources and the basics of human civilizations. Conservation landraces in Tumbang Datu and Pongbembe nowadays are affected by the following socio-cultural constraints: a) decline numbers of local varieties after the regional government-imposed funding to local communities to substitute new-high yield varieties, b) rice rites and landrace conservation are on the brink of extinction. This research explores daily behaviors that contribute to rice landrace conservations through the sociological approach of collective memory and symbolic interaction. Today's generations use new meanings and symbols of rice derived from collective memories and virtues. Various interviewees practice mnemonic devices (what, why, who, where, when, and how) that reflect foodways. According to Blumer, social structures are networks of interdependence among actors that place conditions on their actions. In these networks, people act and produce symbols and meanings of rice to interpret their situations and to have their own set in a localized process of social interpretation. Moreover, the Toraja language is used as a bridge in communicating the past, present, and future to strengthening collective identity. This research uses a qualitative method to explore rice landrace conservation using open-ended questions, in-depth interviews, and Focus Group Discussions. A free-listing method was followed to gather interviewees' collective memories of rice landraces. Findings show that a combination of methods, tradition-based conservation, and current scientific-technology-based conservation become a practice for promoting, educating, and stimulating the public and researchers to engage in landraces conservation. These findings suggest that the socio-cultural ecosystem and Blumer's social network support new networks to deliver science in agricultural innovation policy. The results showed that collective memories and foodways create ways that would benefit rice landrace conservation the most. ; Penelitian-penelitian mengenai padi lokal (Oryza sativa sbsp. indica) telah dilakukan oleh disiplin keragaman hayati, etnobotani, dan agroekologi. Padi lokal penting sebagai sumber daya genetika dan dasar berbagai peradaban manusia. Pada masa kini, konservasi varietas-varietas padi lokal di Tumbang Datu dan Pongmbembe menghadapi beberapa tantangan sosial budaya, antara lain a) penurunan jumlah varietas lokal setelah pemerintah kabupaten menyediakan varietas-varietas baru kepada masyarakat, dan b) konservasi dan ritus-ritus, yang menggunakan padi lokal, terancam punah. Penelitian ini mengeksplorasi perilaku sehari-hari yang dapat berkontribusi pada konservasi padi lokal, melalui pendekatan sosiologis terhadap memori kolektif dan interaksi simbolik. Generasi masa kini menggunakan makna dan simbol baru padi berdasarkan ingatan kolektif. Para informan mempraktikkan perangkat mnemonik yang mencerminkan foodways. Konsep struktur sosial menurut Blumer adalah jaringan saling ketergantungan antar-aktor, yang menempatkan kondisi pada tindakan aktor tersebut. Orang-orang bertindak dan menghasilkan simbol dan makna padi di dalam jaringan ini, untuk menafsirkan situasi mereka sendiri, dan memiliki device (perangkat) sendiri dalam proses interpretasi sosial. Bahasa Toraja juga berfungsi menjembatani dan mengkomunikasikan masa lalu, masa kini, dan masa depan, sekaligus memperkuat identitas kolektif. Bahasa Toraja digunakan sebagai jembatan untuk mengkomunikasikan masa lalu, masa kini, dan masa depan, demi memperkuat identitas kolektif. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif untuk mengeksplorasi konservasi padi lokal, dengan menggunakan pertanyaan terbuka, wawancara mendalam, dan Diskusi Kelompok Terfokus. Metode free-listing digunakan untuk mengumpulkan ingatan kolektif para informan pada padi lokal. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa metode kombinasi, yaitu konservasi berbasis tradisi dan konservasi berbasis teknologi ilmiah saat ini, menjadi praktik untuk mempromosikan, mendidik, dan melibatkan publik dan peneliti di dalam konservasi padi lokal. Selain itu, ekosistem sosio-budaya dan konsep jejaring sosial Blumer mendukung jejaring baru untuk mempromosikan ilmu pengetahuan di dalam kebijakan inovasi pertanian. Kesimpulan, ingatan kolektif dan foodways menciptakan cara yang paling bermanfaat bagi keberhasilan konservasi padi lokal.
