The presentation of the study shows that there is a relationship between social capital and inclusiveness and community empowerment, especially in the context of sustainable inclusive development.

Study Results

Conservation area buffer zones are recognized to provide ecological, social, and economic benefits in supporting conservation areas' integrity. Nevertheless, little is known hitherto about the development dynamics of conservation area buffer zones in Indonesia. Therefore, a study concerning theory, policy, and management of the conservation area buffer zones in Indonesia is necessary to analyze its performance, identify problems in its implementation, and formulate its evidence-based development policy. This study aims to identify and analyze issues in implementing the concept of conservation area buffer zone as well as recommend policy formulation to accelerate the development of conservation area buffer zones in Indonesia. This study is an exploratory research through a literature review with semi-systematic approach. It finds that there are only nine out of 530 (1.7%) conservation areas in Indonesia with a formally established buffer zone. This condition is mainly due to the absence of buffer zone institutions at the regional government levels. Meanwhile, the management of supposedly buffer zones has been conducted through various projects for strengthening the functions of buffer zones by conservation area managers, either in the form of land-based or non-land-based projects. This study results in recommendations for all interested parties to urge the Ministry of Environment and Forestry and the Ministry of Home Affairs to promulgate and renew the regulations concerning the procedures of establishing and managing conservation area buffer zones. Moreover, regarding the institutional aspect, there is a need for a particular structure in both ministries to address community empowerment issues at the site level.

Research Problems

Citarum River is one of them, this river is the longest and largest river in Tatar Pasundan, West Java Province, Indonesia . The Citarum River has been named the dirtiest and most polluted river in the world. This title was given by The World Bank in 2007. The low attitude of caring for the environment of the community around the Citarum watershed is one of the factors causing the contamination of the Citarum River. With a length of almost 300 kilometers, the water of this river is used by more than 30 million people for irrigation, washing, and even as drinking water. Starting from the people of Bandung, Karawang, Purwakarta, Bekasi to Jakarta. This means that the Citarum river is not only used by the people of West Java. The issuance of Presidential Regulation Number 15 of 2018 concerning Acceleration of Pollution Control and Damage to the Citarum Watershed (DAS) is a breath of fresh air for the future of the Citarum River. Furthermore, this Presidential Regulation encourages industry players to regulate and manage factory waste so that it is not dumped into the Citarum River. Thus environmental ethics becomes very important in observing social capital because social capital often includes dimensions that are difficult to measure. Social Capital as a theoretical framework should be adopted in various aspects of people's lives. The use of social capital in development, community empowerment and environmental management is an example of how a modality that is based on the utilization of social relations is applied. This paper uses qualitative research methods, to obtain the necessary data the author uses data collection techniques with literature studies obtained by reading and studying literature, documents, theories and regulations that have to do with research problems. This paper is expected to provide an overview of the concept of social capital in the community empowerment community in the Citarum River area.

Relational Concept

Resources are crucial for the technological and economic development of firms in spatial perspective. In this paper we contrast two ways of conceptualizing resources, and argue that a conventional, substantive understanding implies a number of shortcomings which can be overcome through the application of a relational conception of resources. In examining four types of resources—material resources, knowledge, power, and social capital—our argument is that resources are constituted in a relational way in two aspects. First, resources are relational in that their generation, interpretation, and use are contingent. This depends on the particular institutional structures and social relations, as well as on the knowledge contexts and mental models of the agents involved. Second, some types of resources, such as power and social capital, are also relational because they cannot be possessed or controlled by individual agents. They are built and mobilized through day-to-day social practices. Individuals or groups of agents may appropriate the returns, but not the resources themselves. We conclude that a relational concept reflects the contextual and interactive nature of the selection, use, and formation of resources. This offers new insights into the explanation of heterogeneity in firm strategies and trajectories, as well as regional differences in the development of localized industry configurations, such as clusters.

Post Disaster

AbstractNatural disasters are inherent in the lives of Indonesian people, but handling post-disaster aspects still lags behind other countries that are also vulnerable to disasters such as Japan. The post-disaster aspects that often escape are the handling of refugees and aspects of livelihood strategies or livelihood strategies in the lives of refugees after experiencing disasters. The government tends to focus only on handling rehabilitation of public facilities and forgetting the sustainability of meeting the economic needs of refugees. Refugees who migrate to areas that do not experience disasters also become a particular problem, especially related to the livelihood strategies they undertake. The handling of migrant refugees is still a matter that has not been fully dealt with seriously by the government. The fate of refugees is often overlooked when in refugee camps and after the end of the disaster. The study of this paper will analyze the efforts of people in refugees to develop their livelihood systems or livelihood systems. This paper is the result of a literature study and analyzed descriptively. Some writings show that the existence of social capital plays an important role for people in refugee camps as a binder of cooperation and key supporters to be able to develop their livelihood systems. Social capital binds them with different backgrounds in reciprocal and mutually beneficial social relations.   Bencana alam merupakan hal yang melekat erat dalam kehidupan masyarakat Indonesia, namun penanganan aspek pasca bencana masih mengalami banyak ketertinggalan dibandingkan negara lain yang juga rentan akan bencana seperti Jepang. Aspek pasca bencana yang seringkali luput adalah penanganan pengungsi dan aspek strategi penghidupan atau strategi nafkah dalam kehidupan pengungsi setelah mengalami bencana. Pemerintah cenderung hanya terfokus pada penanganan rehabilitasi fasilitas umum dan melupakan keberlanjutan pemenuhan kebutuhan perekonomian pengungsi. Pengungsi yang melakukan migrasi ke wilayah yang tidak mengalami bencana juga menjadi suatu persoalan tersendiri terutama terkait persoalan strategi nafkah yang mereka lakukan. Penanganan pengungsi yang bermigrasi masih menjadi hal yang belum sepenuhnya ditangani dengan serius oleh pemerintah. Nasib pengungsi seringkali terabaikan ketika di lokasi pengungsian dan setelah berakhirnya bencana Kajian tulisan ini akan menganalisis mengenai upaya masyarakat yang berada di pengungsian mengembangkan sistem penghidupan atau sistem nafkahnya. Tulisan ini merupakan hasil kajian literature dan dianalisis secara deskripstif. Beberapa tulisan memperlihatkan bahwa keberadaan modal sosial berperan penting bagi masyarakat di pengungsian sebagai pengikat kerjasama dan pendukung utama untuk mampu mengembangkan sistem penghidupannya. Modal sosial mengikat mereka dengan berbagai latar belakang yang berbeda dalam hubungan sosial yang timbal balik dan saling menguntungkan.
