This study aims to understand the perception of mountain farmers towards the local adaptive capacity at a household level in an agro-ecological landscape. An indicator-based assessment is conducted to examine the 6 determinants and 27 indicators to give a local adaptive capacity index of the villages around Govind Wildlife Sanctuary and National Park, located in the Indian Himalayan region. The findings indicate that, though the connected and isolated villages have a low and very low adaptive capacity, respectively, the effect of various determinants on the local people varies among the village settlements, based on their socio-economic capacity. Despite the government endeavours to build the livelihood of mountain farmers through different programmes and policies, it still lacks proactive decision-making. The study suggests for an integrated assessment and sustainable enhancement of the landscape as a whole, with a focus on community-level adaptation strategies. It draws attention to the need for enhanced collaboration between research institutions, government and private sectors with the mountain community in the centre.

AbstractAs part of a landscape-scale programme for conserving tigers Panthera tigris the Khata corridor was established between Bardia National Park in Nepal and Katarniaghat Wildlife Sanctuary in India in early 2000. We examined its functionality by comparing the status of tigers and prey in the corridor and in the adjacent National Park, using camera trapping, transect sampling and diet analysis of scats. Tiger movement was inferred from the photographs, and tiger–human conflict was assessed by means of questionnaires and interviews. The corridor harboured transient individuals as well as resident, breeding tigers. Tigers with core areas in the corridor were also recorded in the two protected areas, and vice versa. Wild prey was 3–4 times more abundant in the area of the National Park bordering the corridor than in the corridor itself, and domestic livestock constituted 12–15% of the tigers’ food in the corridor. Livestock losses and human fatalities or injuries were relatively low compared to within the buffer zones of the National Parks. Despite such problems and restrictions on grazing and extraction of natural resources, local residents were generally positive towards tigers and the corridor. The successful establishment of the corridor and the positive attitudes of local people were attributable to community development programmes initiated to compensate for the imposed restrictions, financed by the government and national and international organizations. By linking Bardia National Park and Katarniaghat Wildlife Sanctuary via the Khata corridor, a protected tiger landscape of c. 3,000 km2 was established in west-central Nepal and northern India.

MENGUATKAN PEMBANGUNAN DESA BERKELANJUTAN: Perspektif Implementasi UU Desa No. 6 Tahun 2014 di Kabupaten Bantul Abstrak Fenomena kemiskinan merupakan persoalan komplek yang dalam satu dasawarsa terakhir belum rampung hingga usai. Kompleksitas kemiskinan menjadi salah satu penyebab, mengapa sudah 70 tahun Indonesia masih saja belum mampu menyelesaikan persoalan ini. Pada gilirannya, kemiskinan menjadi salah satu tujuan utama pembangunan di negeri ini. Berdasarkan fakta, kemiskinan di Indonesia, data yang dilansir oleh BPS (Mei, 2015) penduduk miskin mencapai 10,96 persen (27,3 juta jiwa) dengan prosesntasi sekitar 62,65 persen penduduk miskin berada di desa.Dengan begitu, kemiskinan di desa, khususnya di Kabupaten Bantul, harus menjadi prioritas utama dalam pembangunan. Desa harusnya menjadi salah satu sumber utama dalam menurunkan angka kemiskinan, tetapi faktanya desa masih saja dieksploitasi secara besar-besaran, sehingga menyebabkan limbahan air mata bagi warga desa karena harus mencari sumber nafkah lain. Berdasarkan fakta tersebut, maka penelitian ini akan menjawanb 2 (dua) persoalan mendasar, yaitu (1) apakah program pemberdayaan masyarakat desa berdampak pada sustainable livelihood bagi warga desa? (2) bagaimana advokasi perubahan kebijakan yang seharusnya diterapkan ketika melihat program dearah dan pusat yang memiliki tujuan sama terkait pemberdayaan masyarakat berbasis partisipatif? Manfaat hasil kajian ini secara regulasi agar tidak terjadinya dualisme kebijakan, sehingga pemerintah dapat memberikan solusi alternatif dalam pembangunan desa yang berkelanjutan. Dengan demikian masyarakat sebagai objek program dapat mengembangkan diri sebagai komunitas yang mandiri dan partisipatif. Hasil temuan dilapangan terhadap persoalan yang diajukan bahwa program pemberdayaan masyarakat desa yang dilakukan pemerintah masih saja terjadi ego-sektoral antar lini, baik pemerintah pusat maupun daerah. Faktanya, UU Desa yang meskinya menjadi dorongan untuk mengembangkan sumberdaya desa yang berkelanjutan, masih terjadinya beberapa tumpang tindih program, seperti Community Development Mengentaskan Kemiskinan (CDMK), tidak berbanding lurus dengan realitas masyarakat yang secara nyata dapat mengembangkan dirinya sendiri tanpa bantuan langsung program tersebut. Melihat fakta ini, maka harus adanya dorongan advokasi perubahan kebijakan yang lebih tepat sasaran, yaitu mendorong pemerintah agar program harus lebih ditekankan pada pro-job dan pro-growth untuk meningkatkan sisi produktifitas ekonomi masyarakat desa. Kata Kunci: Pembangunan Desa, Implementasi UU Desa, dan Sustainable Livilihood. Abstract The phenomenon of poverty is a complex issue that in the past decade has not been completed until the end. The complexity of poverty is one reason, why it has been 70 years Indonesia still has not been able to resolve this issue. In turn, poverty is one of the main goals of development in this country. Based on the fact, poverty in Indonesia, data reported by BPS of poor people reached 10.96 percent (27.3 million) with prosesntasi approximately 62.65 percent of the poor are in desa.Dengan so, the poverty in villages , especially in Bantul, should be a top priority in development. The village should be one of the main sources in reducing poverty, but the fact that the village is still being exploited on a large scale, causing tears cesspit for the villagers of having to look for other sources of income. Based on these facts, this research will menjawanb two (2) fundamental issues, namely (1) whether the rural community empowerment program impact on sustainable livelihood for the villagers? (2) how to advocate policy changes that should be applied when looking at local and central programs with common goals related to the empowerment of community-based participatory? Benefits results of this study are regulations to avoid the dualism policy, so that the government can provide an alternative solution tosustainable rural development. Thus the society as an object program can develop themselves as self-reliant communities and participatory. The findings of the issues raised in the field that the community empowerment program that the government is still happening ego inter-sectoral lines, both central and local governments. In fact, the Act Village meskinya be encouraged to develop resources sustainable village, still the occurrence of multiple overlapping programs, such as Community Development Alleviating Poverty (CDMK), is not directly proportional to the realities of society which obviously can develop themselves without the direct assistance of the program. Seeing this fact, it should be the impetus for advocating changes in policy more targeted, which is to encourage the government to allow the program to be more emphasis on pro-jobs and pro-growth to increase the economic productivity of rural communities.

Drought vulnerability analysis at the household level can help people identify livelihood constrains and potential mitigation and adaptation strategies. This study used meteorological and household level data which were collected from three different districts (Kavrepalanchowk, Sindhuli, and Saptari) in the Koshi River Basin of Nepal to conduct a drought vulnerability analysis. We developed a model for assessing drought vulnerability of rural households based on three critical components, i.e., exposure, sensitivity, and adaptive capacity. The results revealed that Saptari (drought vulnerability index, 0.053) showed greater vulnerability to drought disasters than Kavrepalanchowk (0.014) and Sindhuli (0.007). The most vulnerable district (Saptari) showed the highest exposure, the highest sensitivity, and the highest adaptive capacity. Kavrepalanchowk had the middle drought vulnerability index with middle exposure, low sensitivity, and middle adaptive capacity. Sindhuli had the lowest vulnerability with the lowest exposure, the lowest sensitivity, and the lowest adaptive capacity. On the basis of the results of the vulnerability assessment, this paper constructed livelihood adaptation strategies from the perspectives of households, communities, and the government. Many households in Kavrepalanchowk and Sindhuli significantly depend on agriculture as their main source of income. They need to implement some strategies to diversify their sources of income. In addition, the most important livelihood adaptation strategy for Saptari is improving water conservancy facilities to facilitate the allocation of water.

The tidal flood inundating the North Pekalongan Sub-district to </em><em>the</em><em> radius of three kilometers from the beach. There were eight villages which stagnated by the tidal flood, include the Village Pabean and Village Bandengan. The adaptive capacity of society needs to be improved to deal with the tidal flood. This study aims to assess the adaptive capacity of coastal communities Pekalongan against the tidal flood vulnerability by using the quantitative methods with scoring and descriptive statistical analysis to synthesize the results of the analysis. Adaptive capacity assessed at the level of individuals, communities and cities. This analysis also based on the physical, social and economic aspects. The result of the analysis showed that at the individual level, both of these villages, the level of the adaptive community was low. It was caused by the low ability of communities to repair houses. This level of adaptive capacity was also influenced by the level of education and income levels. At the community level, the level of adaptive capacity was determined by the ability of communities to improve infrastructure. This level of adaptive capacity was also determined by the existence of the organization and the ability to raise funds. It could be known that the level of adaptive capacity at the community level was moderate. At the city level, the government was able to adapt by providing technological and institutional. Society needs to increase the adaptive capacity by improving the ability of the economy, in addition, to optimizing the performance of government and non-government organizations.</em><em></em></p>

The root of disharmony itself was the improper application of constitutional foundations in the formation of the Village Law. It would be better if the government reassess the constitutional foundation for the village.

ABSTRAK: Inti pokok masalah dalam penelitian ini meliputi latar belakang gerakan sosial masyarakat Kampung Labaluba Desa Kontumere Kecamatan Kabawo Kabupaten Muna, Faktor-faktor yang mendorong gerakan sosial masyarakat Kampung Labaluba Desa Kontumere Kecamatan Kabawo Kabupaten Muna, proses gerakan sosial masyarakat Kampung Labaluba Desa Kontumere Kecamatan Kabawo Kabupaten Muna dan akibat gerakan sosial masyarakat Labaluba Desa Kontumere Kecamatan Kabawo Kabupaten Muna? Latar belakang gerakan sosial masyarakat Kampung Labaluba yaitu keadaan kampungnya yang hanya terdiri dari beberapa kepala keluarga tiap kampung dan jarak yang jauh masing-masing kampung membuat keadaan masyarakatnya sulit untuk berkomnikasi dan tiap kampung hanya terdiri dari lima sampai dengan tujuh kepala keluarga saja. Kampung ini letaknya paling timur pulau Muna terbentang dari ujung kota Raha sekarang sampai kampung Wakuru yang saat ini. Kondisi ini juga yang menjadi salah satu faktor penyebab kampung ini kurang berkembang baik dibidang ekonomi, sosial politik, pendidikan maupun di bidang kebudayaan. Keadaan ini diperparah lagi dengan sifat dan karakter penduduknya yang masih sangat primitif. Faktor yang mendorong adanya gerakan sosial masyarakat Kampung Labaluba Desa Kontumere Kecamatan Kabawo Kabupaten Muna adalah adanya ketidaksesuaian antara keinginan pemerintah setempat dan masyarakat yang mendiami Kampung Labaluba pada waktu itu. Sedangkan proses gerakan sosial masyarakat Kampung Labaluba Desa Kontumere Kecamatan Kabawo Kabupaten Muna bermula ketika pemerintah seolah memaksakan kehendaknya kepada rakyat yang menyebabkan rakyat tidak setuju dengan kebijakan tersebut. Akibat yang ditimbulkan dari adanya gerakan sosial masyarakat Kampung Labaluba Desa Kontumere Kecamatan Kabawo Kabupaten Muna terbagi dua yaitu akibat positif dan akibat negatif.Kata Kunci: Gerakan Sosial, Factor dan Dampaknya ABSTRACT: The main issues in this study include the background of the social movement of Labaluba Village, Kontumere Village, Kabawo Sub-District, Muna District, Factors that encourage social movements of Labaluba Kampung Sub-village, Kontumere Village, Kabawo Sub-District, Muna District, the social movement process of Labaluba Village, Kontumere Village, Kabawo Sub-District Muna Regency and due to Labaluba community social movements Kontumere Village Kabawo District Muna Regency? The background of the Labaluba Kampung community social movement is that the condition of the village consists of only a few heads of households per village and the distance of each village makes it difficult for the community to communicate and each village only consists of five to seven households. This village is located east of the island of Muna stretching from the edge of the city of Raha now to the current village of Wakuru. This condition is also one of the factors causing the village to be less developed in the economic, social political, educational and cultural fields. This situation is made worse by the very primitive nature and character of the population. The factor that motivated the existence of the social movement of Labaluba Village in Kontumere Village, Kabawo Subdistrict, Muna Regency was the mismatch between the wishes of the local government and the people who inhabited Labaluba Village at that time. While the process of social movements in Labaluba Village, Kontumere Village, Kabawo District, Muna Regency began when the government seemed to impose its will on the people, causing the people to disagree with the policy. The consequences arising from the existence of social movements in Labaluba Village, Kontumere Village, Kabawo District, Muna Regency are divided into two, namely positive and negative effects. Keywords: Social Movements, Factors and their Impacts

Development of village fund management is very much needed by the community so that it can be enjoyed by all levels of society in the villages. The seriousness of the government in developing villages is evidenced by the start of allocation of the Village Fund budget for 2015. The allocation of the Village Fund is mandated by Law (Law) Number 6 of 2014 concerning Villages and Government Regulation (PP) Number 6 of 2014 concerning Village Funds Sourced from STATE BUDGET. The regulation explained that the administration of the village government adheres to the principle of decentralization and the task of assistance. The principle of decentralization raises village internal funding (Desa APBD), while the principle of co-administration provides an opportunity for Villages to obtain funding sources from the government above it (APBN, Provincial APBD, Regency / City APBD). This study aims to observe what the development of village funds looks like, how they are implemented and the impact of the use of village funds in supporting development activities and community empowerment. The research method used is a qualitative research method that relies on observing places, actors and activities in Konawe Selatan Regency, Southeast Sulawesi Province, which was chosen as a case study. Initial observations show that the Village Fund does not have significant results in improving the welfare of the community. These indications are evident in the welfare of the community which has not improved with the existence of the village fund. Therefore it is necessary to develop a good management of village funds to improve the welfare of rural communities, especially in Konawe Selatan District. The output to be achieved is the scientific publication with ISSN Online and the level of technological Readiness that will be achieved 1-3.
