Rural Institutions

This study aims to measure community membership in rural institution and analyze its benefits in rural development after Indonesian decentralization. To do so, a case study was conducted in Serang, Kedarpan and Sumilir village of Purbalingga District, Central Java Province. Respondents of this study consist of 232 people, and data are analyzed both qualitatively and quantitatively. Findings of this study present that diverse community groups exist, and most households become active members in one to two rural institutions. Neighbourhood, religious and farmer groups are the most active institutions in term of membership and carrying periodic meeting. Membership in rural institutions improves access to financial, physical and natural capital, but less in improving human capital. While most villagers are member of neighbourhood, farmer and religious groups, the village government does not build intensive interaction with these institutions in meetings to formulate village decision. Thus, the empowerment process is not optimally delivered, and the institutions cannot optimally help their members in addressing their livelihood problems. Some initiatives are performed by the institutions, but without government support, they result only limited benefits for the members. Thus, this study recommends the government to involve more institutions in village decision making, especially by improving the participation of neighbourhood, religious and farmer groups.

Further Development

The issuance of Law No. 6/2014 that is followed with the distribution of village fund has led the rise of program initiatives from village people. One of the crucial elements of development that needs for attention is social and economic development for women. Women's roles in these two areas are significant as compared to the other sectors like politics. Developing women in these two sectors is expected to encourage further development in the village. The research aims to identify the involvement of women in village development, in one village in Central Java, Lerep Village, Ungaran Barat District, Semarang Regency, through two domains: social and economic in 2017. This research is based on qualitative research using first-hand data collected from interviews with selected informants. This research used a case study as an approach and was focused on one village, namely Lerep, Semarang District, Central Java. In Lerep, we can see that the government have strived to a prioritized woman in their empowerment programs. The areas of development include health, education, domestic violence minimization, agriculture, entrepreneurship, and poverty reduction. As a result, women in Lerep could gain more income and enjoy some public facilities provided by the village government, which contribute to the improvement of woman health. In the future, there is a need to encourage woman empowerment as a framework for village development. Therefore, the advantage of the village fund will bring further impacts on society as a whole.

India is a country which is in forefront of being called a developed nation. To be a developed nation, India has to first look at its rural development, because 70 percent of the population live in rural areas, which means more than 700 million people are spread across 6,27,000 villages. Rural development is more than ever before linked to entrepreneurship. Establishments and agencies promoting rural development now look at entrepreneurship as a strategic development medium that could speed up the rural development process. Development institutions believe that rural entrepreneurship offers a huge potential for employment. In this paper a case study of a young entrepreneur who has taken up horticulture (vegetable plants nursery) as his full time profession, with a mission to help the neighbouring farmers is studied, the purpose of this paper is to understand the government role (policies and schemes), the difficulties faced by the entrepreneur during the startup time and knowledge transfer from the horticulture department, nursery management. The methodology followed is in-depth interaction with the entrepreneur. The outcome of paper will be to understand how rural entrepreneurship is helping improve the quality of life for families, communities and individuals leading to sustainable economy and environment.

The Impact

<p>Over the last two decades, Indonesia began to implement Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) to provide an alternative mechanism for providing public infrastructure. The need to accelerate development, fulfil national demands and address mounting fiscal constraints are the reasons behind choosing PPP approach. One of the infrastructure projects using PPP mechanisms in Indonesia is Central Java Power Plant (CJPP) project, which is claimed to be the largest power plant in Southeast Asia. The project bidding was won by three consortia including ITOCHU Corporation, Adaro Power and J-Power, while the Government of Indonesia provided a guarantee for this project through the Ministry of Finance (MoF) and the Indonesia Infrastructure Guarantee Fund (IIGF). The project is built under Build, Operate, Own, and Transfer (BOOT) PPP model.  In continuing academic research about PPP in general and CJPP in particular, this study was conducted with the aim of exploring critical issues and challenges in implementing PPPs in CJPP project. Three issues were chosen for particular examination, including governance, environment and social issues. This study was conducted by adopting a qualitative approach under a constructivist epistemology to gain meaning and knowledge from certain phenomena or specific circumstances, in this case, by using CJPP as a single case study. Document reviews, semi-structured interviews, and unstructured observation were carried out from July to September 2018 to gain information and perspectives from multilevel stakeholders who are in charge, involved in and were impacted by the implementation of PPP mechanism in CJPP. Stakeholder Analysis and Sustainable Livelihood Approach were taken as the framework for data analysis.  This study found that top-down approach applied to implementing PPP in CJPP project left some governance issues and dynamics about power relations and regulations; conflicting stakeholders’ interests; communication and knowledge gaps; and dualism perspectives for viewing the scheme. The Governments of Central Java and Batang Regency underwent difficulties in structuring and implementing Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA), or in Bahasa Indonesia known as AMDAL. Meanwhile, coal, the major resource that will be utilised in this project, faces issues surrounding its emissions, stock, and sustainability. Several issues regarding five forms of capital for sustainable livelihood – human capital, social capital, economic capital, natural capital and physical capital – also arose during the project period. These issues included differing perspectives and sentiments among the surrounding societies and economic inequalities, as well as cultural and migration issues.  It is hoped that this research can inform our understanding of PPP implementation, both in policy and in practice. Based on this study, PPP practice at the national level should standardise documents and processes as well as having project assistance. At the regional level, the local government must be more empowered regarding their roles, responsibilities and resource management. Moreover, the impact of PPP on environment and society should be more precisely predicted and managed.</p>

Ajara Autonomous Republic, both within the country and in the world tourist market, has always been positioned as a maritime tourist destination. However, over recent years diversification of tourist products and appealing new market segments have become one of the main priorities of the tourism development strategy of Ajara Autonomous Republic. As a result, the government is creating an appropriate tourist infrastructure, especially in rural areas to support developing such tourist products as adventure and eco-tourism. Adventure tourism can deliver significant benefits at the local level and it is a developing segment in Ajara. Creating adventure tourism products requires integration of various interdependent services. A tourism value chain is defined as a system that describes the cooperation of private and state sectors in providing resources, which creates costs and adds value through various processes and delivers final products to visitors. The purpose of the research was to determine weak links in the value chain and creating a comprehensive value chain model to form the competitive adventure tourism product. The research involved all actors, which operate in the tourism sector. Based on the results of the survey, in the value chain, the food link turned out to be the weakest, whereas the accommodation with the highest share was distinguished in the visitor spending structure. Overall, the cost of the adventure tour will be affordable for both international and domestic tourists. At this stage, government support and participation are crucial in the formation of adventure tourism infrastructure. Through using the case study and qualitative research methods, we tried to identify challenges to the growth of adventure tourism in Ajara and developed recommendations to overcome these challenges.

Corruption is deeply rooted in Indonesia. This fact is undeniable when this crime has occurred at the lowest government level, namely in the village government. One sample of cases raised in this study is the alleged Corruption Crime committed by the Head of Tanjungsari Natar Village, South Lampung, named Robangi. The problems examined in this alleged criminal act are the factors causing the perpetrator to commit the criminal act of corruption. Second, the pattern of countermeasures carried out by APIP in resolving the case. The method used is qualitative and in the research data collection using a normative juridical approach and empirical juridical. Meanwhile, the theory used as a knife of analysis is the theory of Non-Penal Policy proposed by Muladi and Barda Nawawi Arief, which states that "non-penal policy is the prevention of crime which prioritizes the prevention of crimes committed by guidance, aims to prevent before the crime occurs, and/or the perpetrator does not repeat his actions".The results showed that the factors causing the perpetrator to commit these acts were because the project implementation was not following the proposal, the use of funds was not per the project proposal (total loss), the reason was that at the request of the community, the planned construction was moved to another place. This act is procedurally violating the SOP for the management of state finances. However, empirical facts prove no state loss in the corruption crime allegedly committed by the village head. Based on these facts, APIP South Lampung Regency has implemented a countermeasures policy by imposing administrative sanctions on the village head of Tanjungsari, Natar District, South Lampung.

Small and medium-scale enterprises (SMMEs) form the majority of the enterprises in the South African economy. The South African government has identified the SMME sector as one of the potential enablers to achieve its objectives of improving job creation opportunities, reducing poverty and creating a more equitable distribution of wealth. The aim of this article was to provide a perspective on the success government support initiatives has had on the SMME sector. To achieve this, the study sought to analyse the perceived strengths and weaknesses of government’s national strategy and its institutions tasked with creating an enabling environment for the sector. The study employed a survey research design methodology in which mixed methods were used. The national business strategy employed by government was critically analysed. Empirical data was collected from 282 respondents in order to answer the research question. The results show that the government’s approach has favoured ‘supply-side interventions’ including, providing access to training, credit, mentoring and information to existing and new business. Furthermore, this study has identified the lack of awareness as the primary reason for the under-delivery of the government support initiatives in SMME development. Respondents indicated that they frequently made use of the services of business consultants and external specialists from which they perceived added more value to their respective businesses.

The Impact

The sustainability assessment of natural capital (SANC) is one of the key elements in the field of national park protection. Assessing the impact of socioeconomic development on the Shennongjia National Park Pilot (SNPP), a typical national park in China, would be extremely conducive to the sustainable management of its natural capital. To this end, a natural capital account system encompassing transportation, accommodation, food, and waste for both locals and tourists was developed. Throughout the period from 2007 to 2016, a SANC was conducted in SNPP based on the 3D ecological footprint (EF3D) model to measure stock consumption as well as flow occupancy. The main conclusions were as follows: First, the ecological footprint (EF) size of the SNPP increased yearly from 2007 to 2014, although it decreased in 2015, when the government started preparing for the SNPP. Second, rapid tourism-related developments brought about an increase in the EF of built-up land, and the increasing medicinal planting also enlarged the EF of arable land. Third, the cumulative EF of tourism was 2.82 times that of locals over the past decade. This gap has been expanding. Overall, the results show relatively steady sustainability in terms of natural capital in the SNPP. More precisely, the preceding stock consumption did not severely constrain the function of the current regeneration of flow capital, whereas tourism and planting have become potential threats to the sustainability of the natural capital.

Data collection techniques are carried out by observation and interviews, then analyzed using qualitative analysis techniques. Data processing is done by reducing, categorizing, and concluding and presenting data. The results of this study found that so far the village fund allocation policies have been implemented well, such as meeting basic needs, building facilities and infrastructure, developing local economic potential, and utilizing natural and environmental resources. Likewise the face of the regional planning of Sei Rotan Village by using the Village Fund budget has been able to leverage the improvement of Village welfare. However, the problem is that the planned program has not been fully fulfilled due to limited human resources and budget. The regional development realized with village funds is the construction of roads, bridges and drainage at flood-prone points. The land use pattern of the Sei Rotan area shows the expansion of the built-in land in the form of developer housing and community villagesKeywords: Village Fund, Development, TerritoryPemerintah sejauh ini telah merealisasikan anggaran dana desa setiap tahunnya.
