The Possibilities for an Urban Community Action Plan and Collaborative Work Support for Slum Improvement: A Case Study in Jakarta

This study describes community development in the preparation for a community action plan for slum management in DKI Jakarta. The case study chosen for this research is the Akuarium village. The existence of slums is an inseparable part of the development of a city. The slum area contributes to several problems such as population density, building conditions, ventilation, sanitation, garbage, drainage, environmental roads, lighting and building layout. In an effort to overcome these problems, it is important to develop a community development concept that emphasizes the participation of the community through collaborative work between the government and citizens in the development process. The research that has been done has not touched on the substance of the problem faced by the urban poor and how the community plays a role in supporting the program. The purpose of this research is to find out how community-based development patterns can encourage collaborative work of each actor in structuring slum villages in DKI Jakarta. In this study, the method used is qualitative with in-depth interviews and data processing using the Nvivo 12+ application. The results showed that the principles of community development, including integrated development, participation, sustainable development, empowerment, and human rights, greatly influence the collaborative work of various stakeholders in planning an Akuarium development action plan.

The humanitarian crisis in Syria has impacted the instability in various aspects of security as many as six million of its people have been resettled in foreign countries, including Malaysia. In the survival of protecting themselves, there are obstacles and difficulties encountered in new places. Concerning this matter, the primary purpose of this study sheds light on which elements in the human security paradigm affected Syrian refugees’ survivability in Malaysia. This study was a case study using a qualitative approach. We conducted in-depth interviews with two Global Peace Malaysia (NGOs) officers, three Syrian refugees and participant observations around Kajang, Cyberjaya, Ampang, and Shah Alam. Our findings show the survival patterns experienced by Syrian Muslim refugees in Malaysia in the context of human security, which includes personal, political, economic, and community. To protect the refugees’ social security, precisely, we would like to suggest the Government of Malaysia come up with an individual action plan to address the refugee-related issues. Also, we recommend the NGOs provide a channel to lodge complaints and psychiatry aid to the refugees, aside from focusing on food, health, and education.Krisis kemanusian di Syria telah memberi impak ke atas ketidakstabilan dari pelbagai aspek keselamatan sehinggakan enam juta lebih daripada rakyatnya menjadi pelarian di negara-negara luar termasuk berada di Malaysia. Dalam survival untuk menyelamatkan diri terdapat pelbagai halangan dan kesukaran yang perlu dihadapi di tempat baharu. Justeru, permasalahan utama kajian ini adalah untuk mengenal pasti elemen keselamatan insan ya ng manakah terjejas dalam survival pelarian Syria di Malaysia? Kajian menggunakan reka bentuk kajian kes menerusi pendekatan kualitatif. Kaedah temu bual mendalam bersama dua orang pegawai NGO Global Peace Malaysia, tiga orang pelarian Syria dan pemerhatian turut serta di sekitar Kajang, Cyberjaya, Ampang dan Shah Alam telah dijalankan. Dapatan kajian menunjukkan bentuk-bentuk survival yang dialami oleh pelarian Syria di Malaysia dalam konteks keselamatan insan adalah melibatkan personal, politik, ekonomi dan komuniti. Dalam melindungi keselamatan insan pelarian, kajian menyarankan agar Kerajaan Malaysia menyediakan satu pelan tindakan khas untuk mengendalikan isu-isu berbangkit mengenai pelarian agar tidak wujudnya penganiayaan terhadap mereka. Kajian turut mencadangkan kepada NGO selain dari bantuan makanan, kesihatan dan pendidikan, NGO boleh menumpukan kepada dua lagi bahagian iaitu menyediakan saluran untuk membuat aduan dan bantuan psikatari.

Average Consumption

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate annual consumption during 2004-2013 of diazepam, an essential medicine which is controlled under the 1971 Convention on Psychotropic Substances in Indonesia and to investigate factors influencing its use in health facilities.Methods: This was a case study with quantitative and qualitative approaches. Annual consumption was calculated from the quantity of exports and imports. The use of diazepam was calculated from consumption deducted by 20% buffer stock. The consumption and use of diazepam were presented in kilogram and also in defined daily doses for statistical purposes (S-DDD). In-depth interviews were conducted to investigate factors that influence the use of diazepam. Triangulation was conducted to confirm the qualitative and quantitative findings.Results: The annual average consumption in 2004-2006 was 530 kg. Furthermore, it decreased 38% during 2011-2013 to 329 kg. Calculated use of diazepam also decreased. The average consumption for the 10-year period of diazepam was 470 kg, and the calculated use was 376 kg (0.45 S-DDD). Considering the approximate need of diazepam to treat various health problems, its use should ideally be around 1-2 S-DDD. Therefore, the calculated use of diazepam was considered too low as confirmed by frequent stockouts. The interviews revealed that among the factors influencing its use was its limited production. There was an increased use of alprazolam, but it was unlikely to compensate for the diazepam stockouts.Conclusion: Consumption and use of diazepam for medical purposes in Indonesian decreased over 10 years, and stockouts are often reported. The government should improve its availability and correct impediments for adequate production and supply of diazepam.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the relationship between the ecomuseum and solidarity tourism and to measure their impact on community development. Design/methodology/approach The study presented here adopts two methods for collecting qualitative data: in-depth interviews and observations. The total number of village households was 42 and the number of households that hosted tourists in their home was 20. Due to the exploratory nature of this study, qualitative methods were employed in the form of lengthy interviews with 13 residents. Findings The findings indicate that tourism for the Bogatepe Village ecomuseum has focused on a solidarity perspective which has provided significant benefits to the community ensuring local sustainable development. The ecomuseum as a concept and a destination has helped to control tourism and strengthened the impact of solidarity tourism on the local community. Research limitations/implications The research presented here must be seen as exploratory. More generally, further research is needed to look at the possibility of developing this type of tourism in other rural areas and similar regions of Turkey (covering both small and large areas) with an important cultural heritage. Originality/value The combination of the ecomuseum and solidarity tourism can provide a sustainable solution for tourism in rural areas and provide a model in the development of tourism to other villages in Turkey. The question is whether it could also be used in larger rural areas. The study underlines that Bogatepe is certainly worthy of future study.

Democratic Nation

In a democratic nation, local government is the government of the people, by the people and for the people at the grassroots levels. That is, the government nearest or closest to the people. It is at the level of local government that community action in respect of community development programmes is most effective; it is also the level where democratic processes and decision-making by consensus are traditionally entrenched; where rivalries and tensions are reduced to a minimum; where local resources and patriotism are easily called to the service of the community; and, very importantly, where the people are normally confident of effective control of their own government.

Three-way or tri-sector partnerships were proposed in the World Summit on Sustainable Development in Johannesburg (2002) as a way to reduce poverty and achieve development targets by 2015 (Warner & Sullivan, 2006). These partnerships are between government, civil society and the private sector, and there is not much research on how such partnerships work in the development world. The purpose of this research is to explore the effectiveness of partnerships between Cambodia’s government, NGOs, and the private sector in Technical and Vocational Education Training (TVET), particularly from the NGOs’ perspective. The research methodology used in this study was a qualitative case study. Data was collected from in-depth interviews as well as document analysis, such as NGO’s annual reports, project agreements with Cambodia’s government, and other related documents from three NGOs working in the TVET sector in Phnom Penh. This research used Creswell’s framework (2014) for qualitative data analysis and interpretation. The findings conclude that the tri-sector partnerships within one NGO to that of another NGO are quite different depending on the level of trust and interdependence of the parties. These partnerships between government, the business sector and NGOs are based upon the belief that collaboration brings benefits to each actor. From the business’s side, the benefits include the improvement of industrial production processes and productivity due to an increased supply of well-skilled staff. From the NGOs’ perspective, the benefits include accessing enterprises’ equipment and expertise. The government provides decentralised powers to local government to facilitate the working process of the NGOs and the private sector. These findings provide insight into Cambodia’s tri-sector TVET partnerships, making a contribution to understandings and knowledge of NGOs in TVET and their partners.

Risk Management Planning

Atlet berprestasi memiliki risiko yang bisa menyebabkan kesulitan keuangan saat pensiun dari olahraga. Atlet dengan risiko cedera tinggi berpeluang lebih besar mengalami kesulitan keuangan karena berpotensi pensiun lebih dini akibat cedera. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui bagaimana manajamen risiko yang dilakukan atlet berprestasi dari cabang olahraga dengan risiko cedera tinggi untuk meminimalisir risiko saat pensiun dengan mengoptimalkan pendapatan yang dimiliki ketika masih aktif sebagai atlet. Landasan konsep yang digunakan dalam penelitian adalah manajemen risiko dengan dua perencanaan, yaitu perencanaan keuangan menggunakan perencanaan keuangan pribadi milik Kapoor, Dlabay dan Hughes (2009) dan perencanaan pendidikan. Wawancara mendalam dilakukan terhadap empat atlet berprestasi dan satu perwakilan federasi serta studi dokumen. Hasilnya, manajemen risiko yang dimiliki keempat informan yaitu tabungan dari gaji pegawai negeri sipil dan honor atlet, investasi berupa tanah dan properti, dan rumah atas nama sendiri. Manajemen risiko yang dimiliki masih membuat informan rentan terpapar risiko saat pensiun karena hanya mengelola risiko dari sisi materi yang bisa habis. Sementara itu keempat informan tidak melanjutkan pendidikan tinggi. Idealnya, manajemen risiko juga dilakukan oleh federasi dengan membuka peluang beasiswa untuk atlet melanjutkan pendidikan tinggi. Rekomendasi dari penelitian ini yaitu pemerintah perlu mendorong dan menyediakan beasiswa afirmasi untuk pendidikan tinggi atlet. Indonesian athlete risk management planning (Case study athletes with high-risk injury) AbstractHigh-achieving athletes are at risk of causing financial difficulties when they retire from sports. Athletes with high injuries are more likely to experience financial difficulties due to early retirement due to injury. The purpose of this study was to see how risk management performed by high-achieving athletes from sports with high injuries to minimize risks at retirement by optimizing the income they had while still active as an athlete. The concept used in this research is risk management with two plans, financial planning using private financial planning by Kapoor, Dlabay and Hughes (2009) and educational planning. In-depth interviews were conducted with four athletes and one representative of the federation as well as document studies. The results of risk management owned by the four informants are savings from salaries of civil servants and athletes' honor, investment in the form of land and property, and houses in their own names. Athlete is still vulnerable to be exposed by risk during retirement. The four informants did not continue their higher education. Risk management is also carried out by the federation with scholarship opportunities for athletes to continue their higher education. The recommendation of this research is that the government encourages and provides affirmative scholarships for higher education athletes.

This article examines the local government and state representation in response to religious violence against Shi’a minority groups. Intensive scholarly debates on this issue have ignited, especially on what made the government showed an exclusive response to religious violence. Scholars have argued that state agencies commonly tend to take a safe position though no contradictory policies that please conservative groups. This research was conducted through six-month fieldwork in Bondowoso regency, East Java province, in 2017 and 2018. The data was collected through ethnography and in-depth interviews with relevant sources. In this study, I argue that not all government agencies respond exclusively to violence against minority communities. Through a case study on Sunni-Shi'a tension in Bondowoso, East Java, this study reveals that the local government showed inclusive attitudes to protect the rights of Shi'a adherents to practice their faiths. Such responses are aimed to maintain well-developed plurality, harmony, and civil rights for minority citizens of Bondowoso. This study confirms that inclusive local state officials become the critical factor to the sustainability of human rights, religious freedom for the minority and democratization.
