The objective of this research is to analyze the role of internal initiative driven by pesantren leaders and external development provided by the government in building pesantren entrepreneurship. This research was conducted by utilizing a descriptive qualitative method, with a sample of 5 pesantrens in Garut Regency, Indonesia. The data obtained in this research was collected through focus group discussion (FGD) with a number of stakeholdrs as informant namely leaders of the 5 pesantrens taken as sample along with a couple of their students. Based on field study, we discovered that the success of pesantren in building entrepreneurship activities are dominantly determined by internal initiative and creativity driven by entrepreneurs/managers/ initiators of pesantren, supported by their students. Other pesantrens that have succeeded to build their economic independencies have also received assistance from the government through one pesantren one product (OPOP) program as external development driving factor, which motivated these pesantrens to contribute and to help the government to achieve the goals of this program.

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to develop a methodology which amalgamates quantitative and qualitative approaches to determine the best placement of mobile logistics hubs (MLH) to be established in different parts of Nepal as a part of real-life project, “Augmentation of National and Local-Level Emergency Logistics Preparedness in Nepal” (2017–2020), implemented by the World Food Programme in cooperation with the Government of Nepal.Design/methodology/approachThe study develops a methodology using a combination of a modified version of the maximal covering location problem (MCLP) and focus group discussion. The MCLP model is used to determine the optimal number and spatial location of MLHs, and focus group discussion is used to identify the five first-priority strategic MLH locations using expert knowledge.FindingsThe authors identify the five first-priority locations for establishing MLHs using an amalgamation of quantitative approach (mathematical model) and qualitative approach (focus group discussion). By amalgamating mathematical model with expert knowledge, findings acceptable to a wide range of stakeholders are obtained. The focus group discussion helps to pinpoint the location of MLHs to city-level granularity which is otherwise impossible with data available on hand.Research limitations/implicationsAlthough multiple experts’ judgements were obtained via focus group discussion, subjectivity and possible bias is inevitable. Overall, the quantitative results of the study are purely based on the data available during the study period; therefore, having updated data could possibly improve the quality of the results.Originality/valueThis study is the first of its kind that uses an amalgamation of mathematical model and expert knowledge to determine the strategic locations of MLHs and has been successful to an extent that the selected locations have been vetted by the government of Nepal for establishing MLHs and are undergoing implementation in real life. This study also considers multiple disaster scenarios and employs the concepts of human development, disaster risk and transportation accessibility to reflect Nepal's socioeconomic, geo-climatic and topographical features.

Malaysian Women

Summary The majority of research on factors associated with women participation in physical activity (PA) has been in developed countries with limited research in developing countries. Few women in Malaysia are active at the recommended levels for health, and activity rates are less than developed countries. Little research has focused specially on physically active Malaysian women and the factors that contribute to them becoming and staying active in PA programs. This lack of knowledge hinders the tailored development and implementation of PA programs to meet their needs. The aim of this study was to identify the factors of participation in PA programs for Malaysian women. The social–ecological model was used to investigate and theme the factors. Focus group discussion was conducted with participants in six PA programs targeted specifically to women. Thirty-seven women were involved in the focus group discussion, with ages ranging from 19 to 82 years. Inductive and deductive content analysis was conducted from verbatim transcripts using NVivo. Inductive content analysis allowed raw data and second-order themes to emerge. Findings revealed social support structures, tailored programs for women, and location were key contributors that encouraged women to participate in these programs. The similarity in contributors between women in non-western and western countries signifies a prime opportunity for bi-lateral relationships to be formed to enable the enhancement of program development relevant to different ethnicities and cultures within or across countries.

Abstract. One of the endeavors that the government has done to prevent and control non-communicable diseases (NCD) by increasing community participation in the early detection of NCDs is the NCD Integrated Guidance Post (Posbindu). However, in 2017, only 12.96% of the residents in Bogor City accessed it. This meant that the 30% target was not reached. The in this study, we researched the implementation of the NCD Posbindu at Bogor City. Data was gathered through in-depth interviews, Focus Group Discussion (FGD), documentary research, and observations. Eleven informants was interviewed and 24 informants was involved in the FGD. Two NCD Posbindus was observed at Mekarwangi and Cipaku Public Health Centers (PHC). We discovered that the standards and policies have supported the program, but not all the informants were aware of the targets of the program; there were also problems in the number and abilities of the human resources involved, ineffective communication between the cadres, in the coordination between the cadres, and lack of support from local public figures. The program had adequate funding from the regional budget, the Operational Health Aid Funds, and donations from the community. Although more funds are necessary for the promotion and prevention part of the program. We recommend that new cadres are recruited and trained, and that a reward system is used to provide motivation for the cadres.Abstrak. Salah satu upaya pemerintah untuk mencegah dan mengendalikan penyakit tidak menular melalui peningkatan peran serta masyarakat dalam deteksi dini faktor risiko penyakit tidak menular adalah melalui Pos Pembinaan Terpadu (Posbindu) Penyakit Tidak Menular (PTM). Namun, pada tahun 2017 cakupan kunjungan masyarakat ke Posbindu PTM di Kota Bogor hanya sebesar 12,96%. Ini berarti target yang ditetapkan (30%) belum tercapai. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui bagaimana implementasi kegiatan Posbindu PTM di Kota Bogor. Metode yang digunakan adalah wawancara mendalam, Focus Group Discussion (FGD), telaah dokumen dan observasi. Informan penelitian terdiri dari 11 informan wawancara mendalam dan 24 informan FGD. Observasi dilakukan di 2 Posbindu PTM di Puskesmas Mekarwangi dan Puskesmas Cipaku. Peneliti menemukan bahwa standar dan kebijakan yang ada telah mendukung program, tetapi belum semua informan mengetahui siapa target program, selain itu juga terdapat permasalahan dalam jumlah dan kemampuan kader, komunikasi yang tidak efektif antar kader, koordinasi antar kader, dan kurangnya dukungan dari tokoh masyarakat local. Pendanaan program tidak mengalami masalah, karena dana program berasal dari APBD, dana Bantuan Operasional Kesehatan, dan sumbangan masyarakat. Walaupun masih membutuhkan pendanaan lebih lanjut untuk promosi dan pencegahan. Peneliti merekomendasikan dilaksanakannya pembaharuan informasi dan pelatihan yang berkala untuk para kader, perekrutan kader baru, pemberian reward atau pemilihan kader teladan dan Posbindu PTM terbaik, peningkatan kerja sama lintas sektor lembaga pendidikan, pemerintah dan swasta.
