Arjowilangun Village is one of the most significant areas of origination in the Malang Regency for Indonesian migrant workers aiming to work overseas. The remittance sent by Indonesian migrant workers can be utilised to support the Desmigrative program, namely by establishing and developing entrepreneurship. The growth and development of entrepreneurship can be formed from the participation of the village community. Community participation in developing independent entrepreneurship can in turn boost village development. In line with Indonesian culture, rural communities still put forward kinship, trust, mutual cooperation, networking and high social norms (social capital component). This research aims to identify the social capital of retired Indonesian migrant workers and their decision to start business entrepreneurship. The results of the Social Network Analysis (SNA) as identified through three approaches: rate of participation, density and centrality showed that 14 respondents had the potential to be key figures in spreading information to increase community participation in village development. While the results of the correlation analysis indicate that the decision to start a business were influenced by the high value of their social capital, higher social capital can encourage the community to become entrepreneurs, enabling them to have a positive influence on village development.  Keywords: Migrant worker, Social Capital, Entrepreneurship, Rural Development

Summary The development of rural areas is a complex social, economic, political and cultural issue of immense importance to the development of society as a whole. The vitality of rural communities, which represent a specific socio-spatial phenomenon, affects the development of global society and is inextricably linked to the development and issues of urban areas of each society. Both in theory and development practice, rural development as a complex and enduring process has long been unjustifiably reduced to the economic-agrarian matrix, often reflected in the modernization of agriculture and the centralized and sectoral management of and influence on rural development. The primary focus of this paper is on the social capital of rural communities, i.e. social relations and connections within local rural communities which, alongside other important development factors, are one of the prerequisites to maintaining their vitality. The paper presents the results of a survey on social capital conducted on 281 farms in the region of Vojvodina (Serbia), indicating the characteristics of the social capital on the farms considered and the farmers’ attitudes towards the development and life of their local communities. The social capital of the surveyed farmers was found to be only relatively good, suggesting that the overall social capital in Serbia is underdeveloped because all the farms considered are located in Vojvodina, i.e. the most developed agricultural area in Serbia characterized by rural settlements with the most favorable infrastructural, demographic and economic conditions.

Abstract Social capital represents an increasingly used term in social sciences, but its application in rural development is not widespread. In this study, we assess the social capital of villages where we have organized village research camps over the past decade. The research utilizes a specific methodology, synthesizes the research carried out in the village research camps. Methods included statistical data analysis, questionnaire survey, interviewing, and participant observation. Among the results, we found that the social capital of the studied villages and the condition of their local communities are different. These also affected the effectiveness of development activities. The study examined the role of social capital and how the development of social capital can contribute to the development of villages. In summary, our assumption is that there is a link between social capital and rural development, but this relationship is not always evident or one-way.

Building and developing social capital is regarded as a major factor underpinning the development of rural areas, while the LEADER approach to rural development has been found to have a great potential for creation and use of social capital. Therefore, the aim of the study is to explore the LEADER approach in building social capital in rural areas of Latvia and Poland, based on the thematic analysis of the implemented projects during 2007-2013. To achieve the objective, the study explores the introduction of the approach in Latvia and Poland, as well as presents project case studies for social capital formation in Latvia and Poland, by using appropriate materials and research methods. Projects carried out under the LEADER 2007-2013 in Latvia and Poland affect rural communities regarding social capital on different levels at the same time: build trust, create bonds around common values and raise citizens' involvement in joint initiatives. There are examples of projects that contribute to the building of structural social capital, relational social capital and cognitive social capital in Latvia and Poland. Overall, the thematic analysis of the realized projects in Latvia and Poland reveals that in relation to the social capital they have improved the possibilities for gathering and socialization, for participation in interest groups and associations. Never before in rural areas of Latvia and Poland there has been such a form of cooperation of different local actors, applying the bottom-up approach. Studies show that this approach works well in practice and brings the intended effects to rural development.


In developing countries, agrarian crisis and lack of adequate earning from agriculture has often led to migration of labourers from villages to city. Often, these migrant workers have been absorbed in the construction and other informal sector segments of the city as daily wage labourers. Absence of any income earning opportunity from agriculture has forced these workers to move towards the city life. Such a decision has often made the migrant worker sacrifice the happiness of staying close to the family in the village. Rather, the worker has charted out the risk of coming to city with the hope of earning, sending money to home, and creating a sustainable life style for himself/herself and the family back at home. From a justice point of view, a question can be raised about which situation is better for the migrant worker: staying in a village at the backdrop of an agrarian crisis or moving out to the city, getting absorbed in the informal segment, earning money, and undergoing deprivation in the city. All these aspects impact the social, economic aspects of sustainability. In light of this, the chapter, raises these points and bridges a connection between justice, migration, agriculture, and sustainability.

ABSTRAKUndang-Undang  No 18 tahun 2017 Tentang Pelindungan Pekerja Migran Indonesia (PMI) sangat penting dalam melindungi para PMI yang akan bekerja di Luar negeri.

Padahal untuk memutuskan menjadi pekerja migran dibutuhkan kecukupan informasi dari sumber yang dapat dipertanggungjawabkan. Sejak adanya UU No 18 Tahun 2017, desa berperan dalam melindungi PMI dan keluarganya. Kegiatan pengabdian ini bertujuan memberikan pemahaman dan pengetahuan terhadap masyarakat desa Bonjeruk  dan aparat desa tentang pentingnya perlindungan terhadap PMI. Metode yang digunakan adalah sosialisasi Undang-Undang No 18 Tahun 2017 Tentang Pelindungan Pekerja Migran Indonesia. Adapun perwakilan yang hadir dalam kegiatan ini adalah aparat desa, Kepala Dusun, calon PMI, mantan PMI, Tokoh Pemuda. Hasil dari kegiatan ini adalah aparat desa dan masyarakat mengetahui dan mendapatkan informasi yang jelas tentang  aturan yang baru mengenai perlindungan pekerja migran Indonesia. Kata kunci: sosialisasi; PMI; perlindungan. ABSTRACTLaw No. 18 of 2017 concerning the Protection of Indonesian Migrant Workers (PMI) is very important in protecting PMIs who will work abroad. Where we know that the majority of migrant workers come from villages, but so far the village has barely been involved in protecting prospective and former migrant workers. In fact, to decide to become a migrant worker requires sufficient information from an accountable source. Since the existence of Law No. 18 of 2017, villages have played a role in protecting PMI and their families. This service activity aims to provide understanding and knowledge to the Bonjeruk village community and village officials about the importance of protecting PMI. The method used is the socialization of Law No. 18 of 2017 concerning the Protection of Indonesian Migrant Workers. The representatives who attended this activity were village officials, hamlet heads, PMI candidates, former PMIs, youth leaders. The result of this activity is that village officials and the community know and get clear information about the new regulations regarding the protection of Indonesian migrant workers. Keywords: socialization; PMI; protection.
