This study aims to identify the social capital, co-production, and sustainability of KUD (Village Unit Cooperatives) business. It used descriptive research design using primary data obtained from KUD administrators and KUD members through the focus group discussion (FGD). It used FGD because in general KUD activities stopped after being affected by the natural disasters on September 28, 2018, and during the Covid 19 pandemic so that most of the KUD administrators and members were inactive and difficult to find. The findings of this study showed that (1) some KUD businesses have decreased the number of active KUD members, reduced income and SHU (net income) of KUD members due to the natural disasters that damage property and livelihoods of community members, especially members of KUD; (2) The active participation of KUD members has significantly decreased; (3) Only half of the number of KUDs are still running their activities; and (4) Overal, the social capital, co-production, and sustainability variables of KUD business are low.

The population of the peoplein the province of Tawi-Tawi is densely inhabited by the BangsaSama. The BangsaSama scholars agreed that all people have varied traditional socio-political practices. Thus, Tawi-Tawi consists of different cultures in contrast with the more complex migrant groups. The triangulation technique method of qualitative research is utilized in this study. The descriptive-narrative survey method with key informant’s personal interview and the organized focus group discussion were used as data gathering tools to look into the influences of the migrants to the traditional socio-political practices of the BangsaSama in Tawi-Tawi. The different between the BangsaSama and the migrants lie in the degree of their complexity and rapidity of influences taking place within the group. Along this, the BangsaSama no matter how simple in their ways of living has a culture of their own.

The study entitled “ The institutional empowerment building of the crops farmer on rehabilitation zone of Meru Betiri national park in East Java” takes the fact that since the initialization of the Ecosystem Returns (PE) in 1999 in the rehabilitation zone until the year 2017, there is no optimum result of the program. Instead of getting greener, the zone becomes more dry, arid, and wither. The problem of the study is that what causes the PE program in rehabilitation zone ran less optimum? How to build the institutional empowerment of crops farmer? The purpose of this study is to identify factors that cause the less optimum of PE program at the rehabilitation zone and to formulate the model of optimum institutional empowerment of crops farmers. The primary data were through observation, interview, and Focus Group Discussion (FGD), while the secondary data were from a mixed document of Green’s ecological theory and Nort’s institution theory. Less optimum of PE program is due to the cultural switch from abstinence to anthropocentric, the scarcity of farming land, and market intervention. The model of institutional empowerment of crops farmer is the cooperation and synergy interaction among the actors.

Perairan pada dua lokasi penelitian yaitu di Kepulauan Spermonde dan Laut Sawu dalam kondisi terancam keberlanjutannya akibat kerusakan lingkungan. Hal ini disebabkan oleh rusaknya ekosistem terumbu karang akibat pemanfaatan sumberdaya yang tidak ramah lingkungan. Pada kedua lokasi diketahui bahwa penggunaan bom ikan, potasium dan sianida masih banyak terjadi. Kapasitas adaptif menunjukkan bahwa tingkat kemampuan pengelola untuk mewujudkan tercapainya resiliensi sosial ekosistem terumbu karang yang dalam hal ini telah mengalami gangguan dan kerusakan. Atas dasar kondisi tersebut, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui kapasitas adaptif pengelola kawasan perairan khususnya dalam mengatasi permasalahan tersebut. Metode yang digunakan untuk mengukur kapasitas adaptif mengikuti model yang dikembangkan oleh Gupta et al. dan Furqon. Data primer diperoleh melalui focus group discussion sementara data sekunder diperoleh dari laporan berbagai instansi dan publikasi hasil penelitian. Analisis data dilakukan dengan menggunakan teknik content analysis yang kemudian ditabulasikan dan dipaparkan secara deskriptif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kapasitas adaptif pengelola perairan laut sawu lebih baik jika dibandingkan dengan pengelola kawasan perairan kepulauan spermonde karena didukung oleh eksistensi Balai Konservasi Kawasan Perairan Nasional (BKKPN). Kehadiran BKKPN terbukti memiliki arti strategis dalam hal peningkatan kapasitas intelektual, kapasitas sosial dan kapasitas politik. Selain itu juga membuat ruang koordinasi pengelolaan perairan yang lebih baik sehingga mengurangi terjadinya tumpang tindih kewenangan dalam pengelolaan kawasan perairan. (Adaptive Capacity of The Water Management Authorities in Endorsing The Social Resilience of Coral Reef Ecosystem)The water condition of Spermonde Islands and Sawu Sea is threatened by environmental degradation. The main problem is the damage of coral ecosystem caused by destructive fishing activities. In both locations, utilization of fishing bomb, potassium and cyanide is commonly used by the societies. Therefore this research was conducted to assessing the adaptive capacity of authorities involved in management. Adaptive capacity used to address the ability of authorities in obtaining ecosystem resilience. Method used in this research based on a framework developed by Gupta et al. dan Furqon. Primary data was obtained through focus group discussion, while secondary was collected from various institutions and research publications. Content and descriptive analysis are used to explore the performace of institutions. Results show that the adaptive capacity of authorities in Sawu Sea is better than in Spermonde Islands. Existence of Water Conservation National Office in Kupang has a strategic value in enhancing intellectual, social and political capacityies. It becomes an institution which synchronize water area management so that overlapping authority can be reduced.

Aim Human-wildlife conflict is one of the major challenges in Kanchenjunga Conservation Area. It may erode public support in wildlife conservation. Here, we review the extent to which wildlife damages livestock and crops. Location Lelep and Yamphudin region, Kanchenjunga Conservation Area, Taplejung, Nepal Materials and methodsThe study employed a combination of surveying methods such as focus group discussion, key informant interview and field observation from 21 July to 06 August 2013. Focus group discussion was done primarily with the representatives of snow leopard conservation committee in Lelep and Yamphudin. Key Findings Livestock depredation in Ghunsa valley, Lelep village development committee was increasing with an annual average loss rate of 11% in ten years (2005- 2014). Despite community-based insurance schemes, loss has increased to 28% from 17.2% in 2014. No retaliatory killings of snow leopards were reported since 2005, which may be attributable to the insurance scheme. In Yamphudin, the average annual livestock loss rate was 4.7% from 2005 to 2014, mostly by wild dogs. Similarly, crop damage was a severe problem in Yamphudin, mostly by the Himalayan black bear, palm civet, barking deer, rhesus monkey and porcupine. Conservation implication Although strict guarding was effective to reduce conflict, alternative strategy is needed that requires minimum human involvement. Premium and relief amount is inadequte. It therefore needs a thorough revision. Predator proof corals in Lonak, Dhudhpokhari, Ramjer and Dasa pasture can be effective means to reduce the potential conflict.
