PROSTITUSI TERSELUBUNG PELAYAN WARUNG ANGKRINGAN

(Studi di Warung Angkringan Kabupaten Jombang)

Abstract

Covert prostitution is a social phenomenon that appears in unexpected spaces and covers its main practice. One of them happened at the angkringan stall in Jombang Regency, which should only be a gathering place for the community. This phenomenon is influenced by economic factors, social environment, culture, and weak supervision. This research aims to reveal the form of covert prostitution practice in angkringan stalls, the driving factors for the involvement of waiters, as well as the role of customers and families in perpetuating it. The method used is qualitative through in-depth interviews, and observation with the analysis of habitus theory, capital, domain and social practice of Pierre Bourdieu. The results of the study show that the practice takes place through simple interactions that continue with hidden sexual agreements. Internal factors such as economic pressure, low education, limited skills, and a consumptive lifestyle encourage the involvement of waiters. External factors in the form of a permissive environment, customer needs, and weak social control strengthen the practice.  Covert prostitution survives because it is supported by the social, economic, cultural, and symbolic capital of the actors, as well as the habitus and realm of angkringan stalls that allow this practice to take place.

Prostitusi terselubung merupakan fenomena sosial yang muncul di ruang-ruang tak terduga dan menutupi praktik utamanya. Salah satunya terjadi di warung angkringan di Kabupaten Jombang, yang seharusnya hanya menjadi tempat berkumpul masyarakat. Fenomena ini dipengaruhi faktor ekonomi, lingkungan sosial, budaya, serta lemahnya pengawasan. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengungkap bentuk praktik prostitusi terselubung di warung angkringan, faktor pendorong keterlibatan pelayan, serta peran pelanggan dan keluarga dalam melanggengkannya. Metode yang digunakan adalah kualitatif melalui wawancara mendalam, dan observasi dengan analisis teori habitus, modal, ranah dan praktik sosial Pierre Bourdieu. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan praktik berlangsung melalui interaksi sederhana yang berlanjut pada kesepakatan seksual tersembunyi. Faktor internal seperti desakan ekonomi, pendidikan rendah, keterampilan terbatas, dan gaya hidup konsumtif mendorong keterlibatan pelayan. Faktor eksternal berupa lingkungan permisif, kebutuhan pelanggan, serta lemahnya kontrol sosial memperkuat praktik tersebut. Prostitusi terselubung bertahan karena ditopang modal sosial, ekonomi, budaya, dan simbolik para aktor, serta habitus dan ranah warung angkringan yang memungkinkan praktik ini berlangsung.
