Abstract:This research discusses the spatial effects of education and income influences on the 2015 and 2019 Democracy Index of Indonesia. The income variable used is Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP) per capita, and the education variable used is the average year of schooling. All of the data are collected from the website of the Indonesian Central Bureau of Statistics, namely www.bps.go.id. Using spatial econometrics, researchers found that the distribution of the democratic index value in each province forms a group spatial systemic pattern. Provinces with high democracy index scores tend to be surrounded by provinces that have high democracy index scores, while provinces with low democracy index scores tend to be surrounded by provinces that have low democracy index scores. Researchers also found a spatial dependence on the influence of education and income on the index of democracy in neighboring provinces. Thus, it can be concluded that the quality of democracy in a province is not only caused by the level of education and income in the province, but also by its neighboring provinces.Keywords: indonesia’s democracy index, education, income, spatial econometrics. Abstrak:Penelitian ini membahas pengaruh spasial variabel pendidikan dan pendapatan terhadap Indeks Demokrasi Indonesia 2015 dan 2019. Variabel pendapatan yang digunakan adalah Produk Domestik Regional Bruto (PDRB) perkapita, dan variabel pendidikan yang digunakan adalah rata-rata lama sekolah. Semua data dikumpulkan dari website Badan Pusat Statistik Indonesia, yaitu www.bps.go.id. Dengan menggunakan ekonometrik spasial, peneliti menemukan bahwa sebaran nilai indeks demokrasi di setiap provinsi membentuk pola sistemik spasial berkelompok. Provinsi dengan skor indeks demokrasi yang tinggi cenderung dikelilingi oleh provinsi yang memiliki skor indeks demokrasi yang tinggi pula, sedangkan provinsi dengan skor indeks demokrasi yang rendah cenderung dikelilingi oleh provinsi yang memiliki skor indeks demokrasi rendah. Peneliti juga menemukan adanya efek spasial dalam pengaruh pendidikan dan pendapatan terhadap indeks demokrasi di provinsi tetangga. Dengan demikian, dapat disimpulkan bahwa kualitas demokrasi di suatu provinsi tidak hanya disebabkan oleh tingkat pendidikan dan pendapatan di provinsi tersebut, tetapi juga oleh provinsi tetangganya.Kata kunci:  indeks demokrasi indonesia, pendidikan, pendapatan, ekonometrika spasial

The Covid-19 pandemic affects almost all aspects of human life, from the education, transportation, political and economic sectors. Online taxi drivers are the informal sector that has been economically impacted by a decline in income. This study aims to determine the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the socio-economic aspects of the resilience of online taxi drivers since the implementation of Large-Scale Social Restrictions (LSSR) as regulated in Governor Special Capital Region Regulation of Jakarta No. 33/2020. The regulation made them experience a decrease in the number of passengers, thus affecting their income. This study uses a qualitative model with a case study design. Data collection was carried out by focus group discussions and in-depth interviews with a total of 4 informants obtained from purposive sampling, then analyzed using content analysis. They experienced a significant decrease in income of up to 60-70 percent per day, compared to before the pandemic. The decline in income and recommendations for social distancing affect the socio-economic aspects of family resilience from online taxi drivers as informal sectors. Therefore, they must look for other income alternatives. Therefore, they need various alternative jobs and assistance.
