The number of village enterprises in Jambi Province until 2017 was only 320 of 1,551 villages. Need more village enterprises to be established in order to increase the economic independence of rural areas and their community. However, that is not easy since many existing village enterprises currently experience some difficulties. This study aims to analyze problems faced by village enterprises and programs prioritized to overcome the problems. The research conducted in three different locations that represent western part of Jambi, middle and eastern part of Jambi. Each of them had different core businesses, namely Dusun Dalam of Kerinci Regency (core business in processing of agricultural products), Lubuk Beringin of Bungo Regency (core business is tourism village), and Dataran Kempas of Tanjung Jabung Barat Regency (core business is the production of compost). Data collected by doing observation and focus group discussion and then analyzed by using Interpretative Structural Model (ISM). This study reveals that the main problems concerned with human resources even though they are expressed by stakeholders in each village enterprise with different narratives. Issues concerning capital also arise, but they are not in the top position of all problems faced. The programs they put in priorities are some training in area of leadership, accountancy, marketing, entrepreneurship and others that related to the development of human resources.

The process of rural development requires the role of all groups in a society, including the role of rural women. Efforts to increase the role of rural women in development can be conducted through various ways, one of which is through media literacy education that will produce a group of women who will be able to become agents of change in rural areas with their skills in monitoring and critiquing the content of media especially television. All this time, rural women tend to be helpless in facing the siege of television electronic media. One of the factors underlying it is their illiteracy of their rights to criticize and monitor television broadcasts. On the other hand, rural women have great potential in improving the quality of television broadcasts because they form the most television viewers. This research aims to find out how media literacy education can increase the role of rural women in development. This research used qualitative method and the respondents consisted of a group of rural women from Majalengka regency, media literacy facilitators, members of Indonesia Broadcasting Commission (KPI) and the relevant government officials. The data was collected through interview and focus group discussion (FGD) and analyzed descriptively. The results found that media literacy education had significant role in addressing the needs of useful information for rural women and made them aware of their rights to criticize and monitor television broadcast. This research also recommends a model of media literacy education for rural women that can be implemented in other rural areas in Indonesia. Keywords: media literacy, rural women, increased role, television broadcast

Stigmatization towards persons with disabilities is so pervasive in society that it directly weakens their position in various fields unlike common other people in various fields. Although Indonesia has enacted Law No. 8 of 2016 concerning Persons with Disabilities, efforts to protect and fulfil the rights of persons with disabilities must continue to be actively encouraged. This study examines one of the strategic steps being taken to protect and fulfil the rights of persons with disabilities, the development of a Village Inclusion Policy. Aside from contributing to the fulfilment of the rights of persons with disabilities, particularly in rural areas, this policy is also expected to accelerate the improvement of welfare through increased accessibility of, and participation in, rural development. The study begins by reviewing the implementation of regulations and policies related to the protection and fulfilment of the rights of persons with disabilities in general. It then analyzes the possibility of further developing the Inclusion Village Policy, drawing on a policy review, focus group discussion, and in-depth interviews with relevant stakeholders. The results of this study illustrate the strategic value of the policy as well as the various factors that encourage or inhibit the fulfilment of the rights of persons with disabilities.

Abstract Many researchers have attempted to find alternative ways to address the challenges of the aging workforce. Applying the concept of age-friendly to work settings may be a promising strategy to promote older adults’ well-being in the workplace. However, age-friendly employment is an abstract concept, and empirical research identifying its features is lacking. Also, few studies adequately represented the diverse characteristics of different industries and stakeholder’s perceptions of age-friendly work environments. This study used focus group data and the Delphi method, along with existing literature to create an instrument to measure age-friendliness in diverse work environments. In partnership with a senior employment organization serving central Ohio, six human resources (HR) professionals participated in a focus group discussion and 10 HR professionals participated in a two-round Delphi study. In the focus group discussion, HR professionals identified flexibility, mobility, ergonomics, health benefits, and respect as age-friendly aspects in the workplace. We developed 37 items within five subcategories: accommodation, development, maintenance, utilization, and inclusion. In the first round, HR professionals assessed the importance of each item, presenting training opportunities for employees of all ages as the most important practice; four weeks later they examined the revised 33 items in regard to the feasibility of their real-world implementation, showing 100% agreements among experts in career advice, opportunities for promotion, involving decision making, educating age discrimination, and formal acknowledgment. The second phase of this study will include scale evaluation to confirm its reliability and validity with a broader number of HR professionals and older adults.

This study try to reveal the understanding of the human resources of Koperasi Jasa Keuangan Syariah (KJKS) on the basic principles of sharia economics. As a sharia microfinance institution, KJKS will face daily Muslim customers and operational systems that demand basic knowledge of Islamic economics. This study uses the focus group discussion (FGD) method with a sample target of 30 KJKS managers in the City of Padang. The sample was given 18 items pre-test questions related to the basics of Islamic economics with a choice of yes or no. We find that the main problem is still understanding the concept of Islamic economics, where there are still many cooperative managers who lack knowledge. Research shows that 39% of managers do not know clearly how the Islamic economy is. We then conducted an FGD by giving an understanding of the understanding of Islamic economics and sharia finance. It was seen an increase in the percentage graph of the understanding of cooperative managers, namely 86% of managers were able to understand the fundamentals of sharia economic concepts and sharia finance, while the other 14% were unable to understand right.

This study examined the influence of labels used to stigmatise cannabis consumers on the control of cannabis consumption in a Community in Ebonyi State, Nigeria. Three research objectives were raised to guide the study. The questionnaire was used to get information on the socio-demographic variables of the respondents. Focus group discussion (FGD) sessions was thereafter conducted in five different places (N = 55, n = 11). Responses from study participants to FGD questions were transcribed verbatim. Three themes emerged in the process. These themes include stigma labels and its deterrent effectiveness on cannabis consumption, stigma labels and differentiation of cannabis consumers from non-consumers and stigma labels and deterrence of public consumption of cannabis. It was found among other things that labels were often used by non-cannabis consumers to stigmatise the cannabis consumers with derogatory name calling as its major preoccupation. This was not an effective tool in deterring cannabis consumers from cannabis use. It was recommended that other researches should focus only on cannabis users to see how they respond to it. It was concluded that counselling should be extended to cannabis users who live in the rural areas of Nigeria.
