Action research in lifestyle research is no sinecure. Response to Kromme et al.: ‘Changing together is learning together’, a participatory action research project This is a reply to the contribution entitled: ‘Learning together is changing together: A participatory action research project on the role of the internist in promoting a healthy lifestyle’. Here the authors highlight the complexity of facilitating participatory action research (PAR) in a clinical practice setting and reflect on the first three stages of their research through eight principles that could guide PAR, as described by Van Lieshout et al. (2017). As we developed these principles, we explain the principles of participation, reflexivity, contextuality and transformation in greater detail in relation to the context of this study. The authors made suggestions to change the five-phased model of PAR to get a better grip on the process. The authors rightly highlighted some limitations in the labeling of some phases. However, it is the reflexivity on the multiple perspectives that facilitators encounter and the relationships they engage with during the process, as well as acknowledging the iterative process of PAR, which needs to be embraced and experienced during the entire process of study.

This chapter discusses the methods, processes, and outcomes of a Comic Relief-funded three-year community development and advocacy programme undertaken with Refugee and Asylum-Seeking Women (RASW) in London. It focuses on how the use of participatory action research and training delivered by RASW can challenge and inform the way in which ‘professionals’ deliver health and legal services to vulnerable communities. The project, undertaken during 2012–15 by Independent Academic Research Services, a London-based charity, was co-designed with participant beneficiaries with the explicit aim of generating institutional change and increased gender sensitivity in the treatment of RASW, both through harnessing research findings to drive policy and practice change and by allowing women themselves to articulate the problems they currently face in terms of accessing appropriate support.

<p>Mosque has a pivotal role in the process of Da’wah for Muslim, including  al-Barokah Mosqu, Guranteng, Tasikmalaya. This transformative research aims at transforming people's perception in understanding the substance of the role and function of mosques and optimizing the potential of the mosque to its fullest. This Participatory Action Research model links the social change process through three-area of empowerment : Community commitment, local leader, and institutional based needs. The results of the study gained action of change: Seeking the transformation of community paradigms on understanding the substance role of the mosque through several actions: FGD for restructuring DKM Management, strengthening DKM and DKM management training. Meanwhile, the second stage is to optimize the potential of the culture by implementing the mosque empowerment based on local culture, such as the training of Friday's cermon, corpes-handling management, Ziswaf Manager, reading <em>Marhabaan</em>, forming youth-mosque-managers, as well as assistance by other potential-based empowerment activities.</p><p> </p><p>Secara substansi masjid mempunyai peran sentral yang sangat penting terhadap laju perjalanan dakwah umat Islam. Peran sentral masjid kenyataannya tidak berbanding lurus dengan keberadaan masjid al-Barokah daerah ujung utara Kabupaten Tasikmalaya. Penelitian transformatif ini bertujuan untuk mentransformasi persepsi masyarakat dalam memahami substansi peran dan fungsi masjid dan mengoptimalisasikan potensi masjid secara maksimal. Penelitian ini menggunakan model <em>participatory action research</em> yang menghubungkan proses perubahan sosial melalui tiga pemberdayaan: komitmen masyarakat, <em>local leader</em>, dan institusi berdasarkan kebutuhan. Dari hasil penelitian diperoleh aksi perubahan:  mengupayakan transformasi paradigma masyarakat terhadap pemahaman substansi peranan fungsi masjid yang diupayakan melalui beberapa <em>action</em>: refleksi FGD merestrukturisasi pengurus DKM, pengukuhan pengurus DKM; dan pelatihan manajemen DKM.Sementara tahap kedua melakukan langkah optimalisasi terhadap potensi yang dimiliki dengan menerapkan pemberdayaan masjid berbasis lokalitas budaya, seperti pelatihan khutbah Jum’at, pengurusan jenazah, pengelola Ziswaf, membaca <em>marhabaan</em>, pembentukan pengurus remaja/pemuda masjid, serta dampingan kegiatan pemberdayaan lainnya berbasis potensi.</p>

Inorganic Waste

This article discusses two important studies. First, the way the Kalibeber Wonosobo community handles waste. Second, the model of waste management in the Kalibeber Wonosobo group. This research uses a Participatory Action Research approach. This approach involves the Kalibeber community as an object and subject as well as to deal with waste. The results of this study show two important scopes. First, the Kalibeber Wonosobo community has an initiative to deal with waste. The initiative emerged because the community felt the environment was dirty, the river water flow was obstructed, and many sufferers of itching. Second, the waste management model uses decentralization. Waste management is carried out in each sub-area to be able to reuse waste (recycling). This discourse is different from other studies. The most prominent differentiating side is the active role of the community by being able to separate organic and inorganic waste. The community operates independently with a voluntary financing mechanism.Artikel ini membahas dua kajian penting. Pertama, cara masyarakat Kalibeber Wonosobo menangani sampah. Kedua, model pengelolaan sampah kelompok paguyuban peduli sampah Kalibeber Wonosobo. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan Participatory Action Research. Pendekatan ini melibatkan masyarakat kalibeber sebagai obyek dan subyek sekaligus untuk menangani sampah. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukan dua cakupan penting. Pertama, masyarakat Kalibeber Wonosobo memiliki inisiatif untuk menangani sampah. Inisiatif muncul karena masyarakat merasakan lingkungan kotor, aliran air sungai terhambat, dan banyak penderita penyakit gatal-gatal. Kedua, model pengelolaan sampah menggunakan desentralisasi. Pengelolahan sampah ini dilakukan pada setiap sub area untuk bisa memanfaatkan kembali sampah (daur ulang). Diskursus ini berbeda dengan kajian lain. Sisi pembeda yang paling menonjol, antara lain peran masyarakat yang aktif dengan mampu memisahkan sampah organik dan anorganik. Masyarakat bergerak mandiri dengan mekanisme pembiayaan secara sukarela.

Abstract: There are 41.12% (29.0370) children experiencing a lack of nutritional intake in children in Wonosobo Regency, this has adversely affected the growth of both physical and non-physical for children due to breast milk intake and unhealthy environment. The purpose of this study was to find out how the role of the LPTP through the religious approach in handling the reduction of stunting rates, and how the role of the LPTP in assisting the reduction of stunting rates in the village of Pagarejo Wonosobo with qualitative research using the Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach. The results of this study indicate that (1) that the assistance provided by LPTP with a religious approach is based on the Al-Qur’an Al-Baqarah verse 233, that is, Allah has instructed a mother to breastfeed her child for up to two years. A father also has a responsibility to be able to provide for the family such as giving proper clothes to his children. (2) In creating conditions of social welfare and a good quality of life, it is necessary to create an environment that is supportive, responsive and empowers individuals and communities. Through the coordination carried out by the LPTP, the Village Government and Local Government to reduce stunting rates is one way to realize community welfare through the RPJM, RKP and APBDes.Keywords: LPTP; Religion; Stunting.Abstrak: Ada 41,12% (29,0370) anak mengalami kurangnya asupan gizi pada anak di Kabupaten Wonosobo, ini telah berdampak buruk bagi pertumbuhan baik fisik maupun non fisik bagi anak akibat asupan air susu ibu dan lingkungan yang kurang sehat.

This paper reflects on our experiences of using participatory action research (PAR) with young people as part of an EU H2020 project exploring the spaces and styles of youth participation in formal, nonformal and informal settings. The paper outlines key tenets of action research and provides a brief review of the literature concerning the use of PAR in youth research. Drawing on three case studies, we provide an honest account of some of the messy realities involved in realising the promise of participatory action research in practice. The central focus is on how the action research played out in practice, the challenges of undertaking PAR within the context of a funded project with predefined deliverables, the power relationships between researchers and young people and how agendas are negotiated in action research. We conclude with some critical reflections on lessons learnt, highlighting the importance of acknowledging the exploratory nature of PAR and the critical role of the researcher as facilitator.
