Many fishermen in Indonesia have not fully utilized marine resources properly. However, the government has several ways to improve the welfare of fishermen in other sectors than the fisheries; one of them is connecting between fishermen, coastal and tourism. Meninting of West Lombok is a strategic coastal village for the tourism sector. This village has started to develop tourist destinations since 2011, unfortunately, there is no data on fishermen as a real interest group. This study develops a research pattern on fishing communities which generally discusses the social resources of fishermen and the political aspects of fishing communities separately. This study used a qualitative approach to the social mapping method. Data obtained through interviews and observations of purposively selected informants. The data related to fishermen resources are in maps, followed by an analysis of their accessibility to policy. Spatial aspects strengthen their social resources, interests, and accessibilities to coastal tourism development. The results show that the social resources of fishermen of Meninting Village are unevenly distributed in five dusun (sub-villages). Indicators shown are; capital ownership, mastery of knowledge and skills, ownership of production equipment, use of science and technology, ability to diversify production, fishermen's sociopolitical relations and ability to recognize the economic prospects of coastal tourism. Fishermen who live in areas directly facing the sea have better social resources and firmer interests in coastal development. The accessibility of fishing groups is limited in the development policy. Only fishermen in sub-village located in a coastal area can show themselves as defenders. While the fishermen who live far from the beach tend to be latent or even apathetic. This study recommends the need for other social mapping studies on the characteristics of coastal communities and the need for the government to use the social mapping information of fishing communities to formulate policies that contain regional aspects in coastal tourism development. ; Nelayan belum menikmati dengan baik kesejahteraan dari sumber daya laut Indonesia. Cara-cara meningkatkan kesejahteraan nelayan di luar sektor perikanan sudah dimiliki oleh pemerintah. Salah satunya mengaitkan nelayan, pesisir dan wisata. Meninting di Lombok Barat adalah desa pesisir yang strategis di sektor pariwisata. Desa ini sudah mulai melakukan pengembangan destinasi wisata sejak tahun 2011, namun sayangnya tidak ada data mengenai nelayan sebagai kelompok kepentingan yang riil. Penelitian ini mengembangkan pola penelitian-penelitian tentang masyarakat nelayan pada umumnya yang membahas secara terpisah antara sumberdaya sosial nelayan dan aspek politik masyarakat nelayan. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan menggunakan metode pemetaan sosial. Data diperoleh melalui wawancara dan observasi terhadap informan yang dipilih secara purposif. Data terkait dengan sumber daya nelayan disajikan dalam bentuk peta, diikuti dengan analisis mengenai aksesibilitas mereka terhadap kebijakan. Aspek spasial memperkuat sumberdaya sosial yang dimiliki nelayan, kepentingan dan aksesibilitas mereka terhadap pembangunan wisata pesisir. Penelitian menunjukkan sumber daya sosial nelayan di Desa Meninting tersebar tidak merata pada lima dusun. Indikator yang ditunjukkan adalah; kepemilikan modal, penguasaan pengetahuan dan keterampilan, kepemilikan alat produksi, penggunaan ilmu pengetahuan dan teknologi, kemampuan diversifikasi hasil produksi, hubungan sosial-politik nelayan dan kemampuan untuk mengenali prospek ekonomi wisata pesisir. Nelayan yang tinggal di wilayah yang langsung berhadapan dengan laut memiliki sumberdaya sosial yang lebih baik dan kepentingan yang lebih tegas terhadap pembangunan pesisir. Aksesibilitas kelompok nelayan terbatas dalam kebijakan pembangunan tersebut. Hanya nelayan-nelayan di dusun pesisir yang mampu menunjukkan diri sebagai defenders. Sementara nelayan-nelayan yang tinggal berjauhan dari pantai cenderung latents atau bahkan apathetic. Penelitian ini merekomendasikan perlunya kajian sosio-spasial lainnya mengenai karakteristik masyarakat pesisir dan perlunya pemerintah memanfaatkan informasi sosio-spasial masyarakat nelayan untuk merumuskan kebijakan-kebijakan yang memuat aspek kewilayahan dalam pembangunan wisata pesisir.

The implementation of simultaneous local elections has been carried out since the 2015 elections. The purpose of the simultaneous local elections is to encourage the formation of strong government. This is based on the assumption that voters will elect their representatives in the executive and legislative branches at once. It is expected that this election design will encourage consolidation between the two representative rooms. Strong consolidation will encourage effective governance and policy making processes. This paper would like to provide an evaluation framework for the simultaneous election implementation from the electoral integrity dimension. It is important to consider the aspect of electoral integrity since the regulated procedures need to be connected with substantial justice in the election. The absence of the consideration of this aspect will lead to the problems of political dynasty, money politics, and violence threat in the implementation of election. This paper attempts to create a framework for evaluating simultaneous regional elections by using the concept of electoral integrity. Elaboration is made on the conception of electoral integrity with adjustments to local political problems in Indonesia. The data in this paper are sourced from journals, reports, and analysis related to the evaluation of simultaneous local elections. This paper shows that there are two important elements which need to be included from the global indicator in relation with electoral integrity, namely: the community participation and money politics, in order to review and evaluate the local election. The contribution of this paper is enriching studies related to the evaluation of elections at the local level, where the dominance of studies in local elections is on issues such as money politics, political dynasties, to the neutrality of ASN. Many of these local political problems have not been framed in a single election evaluation frame. This paper attempts to frame the dynamics of local politics with an evaluative framework adapted from the concept of elections with integrity contextualized to the dynamics of local elections.

AbstractThe Qajar dynasty in Indonesian literature is not as popular as the Safavid dynasty and the 1979 Iranian revolution. The role of Qajar dynasty started as one of the tribal powers among the Qizilbash elite troops of the Safavid dynasty. Political conditions during the decline of Safavids led to the emergence of other warring dynasties to gain domination in Persia. Qajar dynasty under the leadership of Agha Muhammad Khan was successful in defeating warring dynasties as the Russian invaders were also driven out. Agha Muhammad later became the Shah of Persia in 1796 year before he was assassinated during a military campaign against Russia. After his assassination, Fath Ali – nephew of Agha Muhammad became the new Shah in 1798. Qajar dynasty under the new reign effectively consolidated the political condition and governing aspect of Persia. Fath Ali is also believed to have committed violence against his competitors while also; he was able to coordinate between various cultural identities in Persia along with building country's governing structure as well as patronizing religious life. During later wars with Russia, Fath Ali was dependent on intervention of British and French due to lack of reforms in his military. It became an important event before his death in 1834.

Villagers have been long marginalized and frequently treated as merely vote getters by outsiders' power [the elites] to compete for their social and political support. This has been taking places for such a long time including during the time of Soeharto's New Order. The legislation of Laws Number 22 Year 1999 on Regional Autonomy, and then the Laws Number 32 Year 2004 have provided better hope for a more democratic treatment for the villagers, particularly by the application of Village Autonomy [Otonomi Desa]. Village democracy through Village Autonomy is actually not a new concept in this country. Due to various obstacles, however, this sort of autonomy has never been successfully applied. Since the application of Laws Number 32 Year 2004, by the establishment of Village Democratic Board, it is hoped that village democracy may be successfully realized, not only on its formal aspects but also on its substantial ones.

The study of the kyai is always interesting to discuss, especially when it comes to politics. Because the study of clerics is a multidimensional statement. This means that the study of kyai can not only be seen from one aspect (kyai as a religious figure) but can be seen from other aspects (his views on politics). Therefore, the involvement of the kyai in the political process of the regional head election is inevitable, because the kyai is one of the local elites who can contribute to the process of political learning in democracy. With its charisma is able to provide knowledge to the community in making choices. However, the involvement of the kyai in politics can also have a negative impact on the learning of democratization, because it is not uncommon for the kyai who has close relations with his students to use these weapons to gain significant support that can divert the political choices of their students to win one of the candidates supported by the kyai the. Because the santri relationship with the kyai is not only limited to the world of pesantren, but also has an influence in determining political choices. Ideally in the realm of Democracy, aspirations should not be represented by elites in direct elections, the people are fully entitled to weigh, evaluate, and propose candidates for regional heads and choose who is suitable and considered worthy of being their leader through the processes and mechanisms that apply. Likewise with the regional head Candidates, their political rights should not be castrated by the existing elite by marginalizing the nominating exchange because they are not included in the nominated deliberations. However, this is not the case in Pamekasan and on the contrary, regional head candidates are determined by the existing elite (kyai) and submitted to political parties. So that regional head candidates do not come out of the conversion process within political parties but are born from external parties. At this point, there seems to be a process of duping because it is assumed that the people cannot choose an appropriate figure as their leader. This mindset is very hurting the course of political development in the country. Today's people are getting smarter, being able to distinguish which leaders are good or not. Therefore in determining the candidates, the people's aspirations should not be taken over by the elite. If this problem continues then it is at this point that the Democratic Fetus has been killed at the hands of the elite. ; Kajian tentang kyai selalu menarik untuk dibahas, apalagi jika berkaitan dengan politik. Karena kajian tentang kyai merupakan kaljian yang bersifat multidimensional. Artinya studi tentang kyai tidak hanya bisa dilihat dari satu aspek saja (kyai sebagai tokoh agama) akan tetapi bisa dilihat dari aspek yang lain (pandangannya dalam berpolitik). Oleh karena itu keterlibatan kyai dalam proses politik pemilihan kepala daerah tidak bisa dihindarkan, karena kyai merupakan salah satu elit local yang dapat memberikan kontribusi terhadap proses pembelajaran politik dalam berdemokrasi. Dengan kharismanya mampu memberikan pengetahuan kepada masyarakat dalam menentukan pilihan. Namun, keterlibatan kyai dalam politik juga bisa memberikan dampak negative dalam pembelajaran demokratisasi, karena tidak jarang kyai yang mempunyai hubungan erat dengan para santrinya menggunakan senjata tersebut untuk memperoleh dukungan yang signifikan yang bisa mengalihkan pilihan politik para santrinya untuk memenangkan salah satu kandidat yang didukung oleh kyai tersebut. Karena hubungan santri dengan kyai tidak hanya sebatas pada dunia pesantren, melainkan juga mempunyai pengaruh dalam menentukan pilihan politik. Idealnya di dalam alam Demokrasi, aspirasi tidak boleh diwakili oleh elit didalam pemilihan langsung, rakyat sepenuhnya berhak menimbang, menilai, serta mengajukan calon kepala daerah dan memilihnya siapa yang pantas dan dianggap layak sebagai pemimpinanya melalui proses dan mekanisme yang berlaku. Begitu juga dengan Calon kepala daerah, hak politiknya tidak boleh dikebiri oleh elit yang ada dengan cara meminggirkan dari bursa pencalonan karena tidak masuk dalam nominasi yang dimusyawarahkan. Namun tidak begitu dengan yang terjadi di Pamekasan dan justru sebaliknya, calon kepala daerah di tentukan oleh elit-elit (kyai) yang ada dan diajukannya kepada partai politik. Sehingga kandidat kepala daerah tidak keluar dari proses konversi didalam partai politik melainkan lahir dari kalangan ekternal elit partai. Didalam titik ini, terkesan ada proses pembodohan karena diasumsikan rakyat tidak bisa memilih figur yang layak sebagai pemimpinnya. Pola pikir demikian sangat melukai jalannya pembangunan politik di tanah air. Rakyat saat ini sudah semakin cerdas, bisa membedakan mana pemimpin yang bagus ataupun tidak. Oleh karenanya dalam penentuan calon, tidak selayaknya aspirasi rakyat diambil alih oleh elit. Jika masalah ini terus berlangsung maka didalam titik inilah Janin Demokrasi sudah terbunuh di tangan para elit.
