Abstract

The problem of social segregation gains new relevance as digital technology has now become the core of people’s lives and work. Unfortunately, this factor is often neglected in studies of social segregation. Previous studies have only taken note of social and spatial segregation. This study aims to fill a conceptual gap by raising the virtual dimension within socio-spatial segregation. This research finds that virtual segregation has strengthened segregationist tendencies that follow the growth of luxurious housing complexes and gated communities. Furthermore, this study also asserts that deregulation policies in housing and the commercial development of telecommunication infrastructure are factors that exacerbate the tendency of social segregation. Although communities may currently find segregation to be socially acceptable, in the long run, this tendency will complicate efforts to strengthen social cohesion and may intensify socio-economic problems across the population . Focusing on the case of Yogyakarta, this study employs a combination of methods for collecting data that include secondary data analysis, interviews, and Focus Group Discussions.

Bahasa Abstract

Masalah segregasi sosial memperoleh relevansi baru karena teknologi digital kini telah menjadi inti kehidupan dan pekerjaan masyarakat. Sayangnya, faktor ini sering diabaikan dalam studi segregasi sosial. Studi sebelumnya hanya mencatat segregasi sosial dan spa¬sial. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengisi kesenjangan konseptual dengan mengangkat dimensi virtual dalam segregasi sosio-spasial. Penelitian ini menemukan bahwa segre¬gasi virtual telah memperkuat kecenderungan segregasi yang mengikuti pertumbuhan kompleks perumahan mewah dan komunitas yang terjaga keamanannya. Lebih lanjut, penelitian ini juga menegaskan bahwa kebijakan deregulasi di bidang perumahan dan pembangunan komersial infrastruktur telekomunikasi merupakan faktor yang memper¬parah kecenderungan segregasi sosial. Meskipun masyarakat saat ini mungkin mengang¬gap segregasi dapat diterima secara sosial, dalam jangka panjang, kecenderungan ini akan mempersulit upaya untuk memperkuat kohesi sosial dan dapat mengintensifkan masalah sosial ekonomi di berbagai kelompok. Berfokus pada kasus Yogyakarta, penelitian ini menggunakan kombinasi metode pengumpulan data yang meliputi analisis data sekunder, wawancara, dan Focus Group Discussion.
