In addition to solving the problem of water shortage for irrigation, energy and consumption, thepolicy of building large dam is also expected to improve population-welfare. However, previousstudies suggest that people living near dams have less benefit from the existence of large dam. Thisstudy aims to provide empirical evidence the effect of large dam development on welfare tohousehold living in sub-districts around large dam placement using National Socio-EconomicSurvey (SUSENAS) data in 2013-2018 from Central Bureau of Statistics and spatial large dam datain Indonesia. Estimated results indicate that addition large dam tend to be negatively correlated by2.4-3.1 % with household consumption implying a tendency of decreasing welfare in localhouseholds. Estimated findings using Indonesia Family Life Survey (IFLS) in 2007 and 2014 shownegative correlation likely to be caused by lower agricultural productivity and work activity. Thisresult show there are economic agents who suffer from large water - infrastructure especiallyhouseholds living in sub-districts close to the dam.

Data yang digunakan merupakan data sekunder yang berasal dari Indonesia Family Life Survey (IFLS) 2014, dengan metode analisis Two Stage LeastSquare (2SLS) menggunakan pendekatan instrumental variable. Temuan dari penelitian ini menyatakan bahwa rumah tangga yang dikepalai oleh perempuan yang bekerja di sektor informal memiliki kesejahteraan yang lebih rendah dibandingkan dengan rumah tangga sektor formal.

Beras untuk Keluarga Miskin (RASKIN) program has been applied since 1998 and has been renamed as Beras Sejahtera (RASTRA) in early 2017, but their effectiveness is still debatable. This study tries to evaluate the impact of RASKIN program on household income. Using data from 3,745 households in Indonesia Family Life Survey (IFLS) 5 that has been estimated using propensity score matching, this study has identified precisely that RASKIN program has a negative and significant effect on household income. This happens because the benefits that reveived by Rumah Tangga Sasaran (RTS) are very small. The small benefit is affected by the amount of rice received, frequency and price that have been paid to get RASKIN is not in accordance with the guidelines. The result of this study is along with previous studies, where the amount and price of rice that distributed through RASKIN program is not exactly correct. Therefore, there must be a change in program format, not just renaming from RASKIN to RASTRA only.

Evolution Returns to Education Across Provinces: Indonesia Family Life Survey 1993–2014This study traces the evolution of return to education using large samples from Indonesia Family Life Survey (IFLS). This study apply Mincer Model to find rate of return to education. The rate of return to education decrease from 1993 to 2014 in Indonesia. Interestingly, the declining rate for return to education for men is much larger than for women. Return to education is considerably heterogenic across province and gender. Furthermore, the rate of women is larger than men. Finally, this study find potential experience have not different from 1993 to 1997, but have increased in 2000 and 2014.Keywords: Education; Returns to Education; Mincer ModelAbstrakPenelitian ini melihat perkembangan dari tingkat pengembalian investasi pendidikan (return to education) dengan data Indonesia Family Life Survey (IFLS). Penelitian ini menggunakan Model Mincer untuk menentukan tingkat pengembalian investasi pendidikan. Tingkat pengembalian investasi pendidikan menurun dari tahun 1993 sampai 2014. Penurunan tingkat pengembalian investasi pendidikan untuk pria lebih besar dari pada wanita. Hasil tingkat pengembalian investasi pendidikan bervariasi antar-provinsi dan jenis kelamin, namun pada umumnya nilai return pada wanita lebih besar daripada pria. Pengaruh dari pengalaman kerja potensial tidak berbeda dari tahun 1993 sampai 1997, tetapi mulai meningkat di tahun 2000 dan 2014.

Locally and globally, mega-hydraulic projects have become deeply controversial. Recently, despite widespread critique, they have regained a new impetus worldwide. The development and operation of large dams and mega-hydraulic infrastructure projects are manifestations of contested knowledge regimes. In this special issue we present, analyze and critically engage with situations where multiple knowledge regimes interact and conflict with each other, and where different grounds for claiming the truth are used to construct hydrosocial realities. In this introductory paper, we outline the conceptual groundwork. We discuss ‘the dark legend of UnGovernance’ as an epistemological mainstay underlying the mega-hydraulic knowledge regimes, involving a deep, often subconscious, neglect of the multiplicity of hydrosocial territories and water cultures. Accordingly, modernist epistemic regimes tend to subjugate other knowledge systems and dichotomize ‘civilized Self’ versus ‘backward Other’; they depend upon depersonalized planning models that manufacture ignorance. Romanticizing and reifying the ‘othered’ hydrosocial territories and vernacular/indigenous knowledge, however, may pose a serious danger to dam-affected communities. Instead, we show how multiple forms of power challenge mega-hydraulic rationality thereby repoliticizing large dam regimes. This happens often through complex, multi-actor, multi-scalar coalitions that make that knowledge is co-created in informal arenas and battlefields.

In the late 1980s, a consortium of Canadian engineering companies carried out a study of the proposed Three Gorges project on the Yangtze River in China. Probe International published a stinging critique of the proposed project and the study. The diverging conclusions from the two groups are explained by the fact that the Canadian engineering consortium and Probe represented two completely different cultures: the large dam, heavy civil engineering culture and the "new green culture." It is claimed that the best hope for avoiding similar conflicts over very large projects in future would be to include representatives from all the professional groups involved — environmental scientists, economists, sociologists, and civil engineers — as full members of the coordinating team for the project right from the beginning. Key words: Three Gorges project, large dams, environmental impact, flood control, hydroelectric.

Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui perubahan pemakaian alat kontrasepsi dari tahun 1997-2007 pada wanita kawin usia 15-49 tahun dan alasan tidak memakai alat kontrasepsi lagi berdasarkan data Indonesia Family Life Survey (IFLS) 1997, 2000, dan 2007. Analisis deskriptif digunakan untuk mengetahui karakteristik wanita pernah kawin yang menggunakan alat kontrasepsi, sedangkan tabulasi silang digunakan untuk mendapatkan pola penggunaan alat kontrasepsi berdasarkan karakteristik individu. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sebagian besar wanita pernah kawin yang menggunakan alat kontrasepsi berada pada kelompok umur di bawah 40 tahun dan baru memiliki 1-2 orang anak. Dari sisi pendidikan, paling banyak berpendidikan rendah dan menikah pada usia muda, sedangkan wanita yang berpendidikan tinggi cenderung menunda perkawinannya. Jenis kontrasepsi yang paling banyak dipakai adalah hormonal, baik dari tahun 1997-2000 maupun dari tahun 2000-2007. Mayoritas akseptor baru tahun 2000 dan 2007 memakai alat kontrasepsi jenis hormonal, demikian juga akseptor yang berhenti memakai sebelumnya menggunakan jenis hormonal. Alasan penghentian pemakaian alat kontrasepsi terbanyak adalah karena keinginan mempunyai anak lagi. Sebagian besar mereka berada pada kelompok umur di bawah 30 tahun dan baru memiliki 1-2 orang anak.
