Institutional Aspect

This paper provides an overview of the implementation and obstacles of watershed management, and the alternative solutions based on a synoptic review of related studies and experiences across Indonesia. The review found that problems in the institutional aspect were hierarchical confusion, discrepancy, and asynchrony among regulations, and weak (participation, synchronization, and coordination) among watershed management stakeholders. The weaknesses in the planning stage are integration among sectors, a lack of community participation, and limited readiness to integrate watershed planning into regional planning. Stakeholders’ involvement is also a critical factor in successful implementation of degraded watershed rehabilitation, including in peatland and mangrove areas. Failure should be minimized by providing adequate information on degraded watershed characteristics, appropriate species choices, and effective mechanical construction for soil and water conservation. Community participation as the main factor in driving watershed management should be achieved by strengthening public awareness of the importance of a sustainable watershed and providing access for the community to be involved in each stage of watershed management. Another problem is data gaps which are essential to address from the planning to evaluation stages. The gaps can be bridged by using remotely sensed data and by applying hydrological-based simulation models. Simplified criteria for watershed assessment may also be required, depending on site-specific issues and the watershed scale.

Theoretical Assessment

Maharashtra is the third largest state in India and nearly 58 % of population lives in the rural area which depends largely on agriculture for their livelihood. Due to various negative externalities of lack of water availability Government of Maharashtra declared a comprehensive water conservation programme named as Jalyukta Shivar Abhiyan (JSA). In this study, the methodology adopted to identify the strengths and weaknesses of JSA by conducting theoretical assessment of various water conservation activities carried out under JSA in three villages in Purandar taluka in Pune district and also few works as per Shirpur pattern in Dhule district, Maharashtra, India. Firstly, it was studied to know whether various activities conducted were based on scientific and engineering principles and the effectiveness of water conservation activities carried out on the village. Secondly, the effect of local community participation in these activities was studied to suggest ways for increase in participation for enhancement in groundwater recharge in the study area. The strengths and weaknesses were identified from assessment of JSA, which include technical gaps observed in planning and actual implementation of these works. It was also seen that public awareness regarding JSA in drought affected villages was poor due to which community participation was also poor. It is concluded that these strengths and weaknesses could be used to make some changes in policy and structure of JSA to improve effectiveness of scheme and also increase local community participation for enhancement groundwater recharge and also to increase effectiveness of water conservation activities under JSA.

Improved Performance

Speech recognition consists of converting input sound into a sequence of phonemes, then finding text for the input using language models. Therefore, phoneme classification performance is a critical factor for the successful implementation of a speech recognition system. However, correctly distinguishing phonemes with similar characteristics is still a challenging problem even for state-of-the-art classification methods, and the classification errors are hard to be recovered in the subsequent language processing steps. This paper proposes a hierarchical phoneme clustering method to exploit more suitable recognition models to different phonemes. The phonemes of the TIMIT database are carefully analyzed using a confusion matrix from a baseline speech recognition model. Using automatic phoneme clustering results, a set of phoneme classification models optimized for the generated phoneme groups is constructed and integrated into a hierarchical phoneme classification method. According to the results of a number of phoneme classification experiments, the proposed hierarchical phoneme group models improved performance over the baseline by 3%, 2.1%, 6.0%, and 2.2% for fricative, affricate, stop, and nasal sounds, respectively. The average accuracy was 69.5% and 71.7% for the baseline and proposed hierarchical models, showing a 2.2% overall improvement.

Purpose: The current study sought to establish determinants of successful implementation of non-government organization health projects in Kibera informal settlement. The study sought to establish how community participation, resource mobilization, communication and project control determines successful implementation of health projects for NGOs operating in Kibera informal settlement.Methodology: The study adopted a descriptive survey design and 116 questionnaires were issued but only 92 questionnaires were received which represented a 79% response rate.Results: The results of the study revealed that resource mobilization, communication and project control positively and significantly determined successful implementation of health projects by Non-Governmental organizations in Kibera as shown by r=0.443, r=0.511 and r=0.798 respectively while community participation negatively determined the implementation success of the projects (r= -0.078).Recommendations: The study recommends that NGOs implementing health projects in Kibera should focus on mobilizing resources since the practice contributes to successful implementation of the projects. NGOs can achieve this by actively engaging sponsors, conducting harambees, networking and presenting grant proposals to prospective financiers to solicit resources for implementing the health projects. Additionally, the study recommends that NGOs implementing health projects in Kibera should focus on project communication since the practice contributes to successful implementation of the projects. NGOs can achieve this by establishing a concise project communication plan, and through continuous communication with project teams and stakeholders on matters concerning the progress of the project. The study further recommends that NGOs implementing health projects in Kibera should focus on project control since the practice contributes to successful implementation of the projects.NGOs can achieve this by using project management information systems in designing and controlling health projects, conducting a variance analysis on the progress of the project and by providing updates on the status of the project to the relevant stakeholders.

<p class="sar-body"><span lang="EN-US">This study incorporates spatially explicit geographic information system and simulation models to develop an optimal irrigation system. The purpose of the optimized irrigation system was to save depleted ground water supplies. ArcGIS was used to calculate the area of potential irrigable soils, and EPANET (a hydrological simulation program) was used to calculate energy costs. Crop yield response functions were used to estimate the yield of cotton to the amount of irrigation and the accumulation of soil salinity over a 50-year period. Four irrigation designs (A, B, C, and D) were analyzed with different irrigation schedules.</span></p><p class="sar-body"><span lang="EN-US">Design A allowed all producers to irrigate simultaneously at 600 gallons per minute (gpm) or 2,271 liters per minute (lpm) while designs B and C divided the irrigable areas into two parts. Design D divided the areas into four parts to allow producers to irrigate one part at a time at 800 gpm (3,028 lpm). Irrigation scheduling not only lessened the water use and cost, but also amplified the profitability of the irrigation system. In design A, if all producers adopted 600 gpm (2,271 lpm) pivots and operated simultaneously, the cost of the 360,000 gpm (1363,000 lpm) pipeline would be prohibitive. In contrast, designs B, C, and D increased net benefits and lowered the breakeven price of cotton. The 50-year net present value for designs A, B, C, and D was profitable over 75, 70, 70, and 65 cents of cotton price per pound (454 g), respectively. Thus, this study endorses irrigation scheduling as a tool for efficient irrigation development and management, and increases water conservation.</span></p>

The purpose of this study is to determine and analyze the degree of community participation in the Community Nursery (Kebun Bibit Rakyat-KBR) program in Wasai Village and Arfai I Village, the district of South Manokwari, in the Manokwari Regency. Also this study aims to identify the factors that influence the level of community participation, and then formulates several management efforts to improve community participation in the program. The result found that communities that get involved in the KBR program are community groups of various types of professions, ethnicities and genders. The level of community participation in the KBR program is included in the high category for the whole set of activities in the KBR. However, for activities related to technical knowledge on planting and administration, community participation was still low. The significant factor affects the successful implementation of the KBR program was the direct involvement of community leaders. The support and involvement of community leaders played an important role in motivating the community to actively age in the KBR program. In addition, financial benefits of the program for individuals and village communities became the other determining factor that motivated the community to actively join in the KBR program. The alternative formulation offered in the early preparation of KBR activities was the program socialization. The early information has to be designed more effectively, so that the community is able to understand the procedures for implementing the KBR program, especially activities related to technical knowledge. Moreover, the involvement of other community leaders was a concern for the implementation of the KBR program since they were considered as the role models of social communities. Finally, collaborative programs with multi-stakeholders would be a solution to provide multiple benefits for the community as part of regional and national development goals.

This study aims to examine development communication in community participation in village development planning. Community participation is very important because it can guarantee the effectiveness of development programs. There are a number of obstacles to community participation in development planning. Some identified barriers are the absence of legal support (Rumensten, 2012), lack of public awareness, low quality of human resources, length of stay and hours employment type (Wijaksono, 2013), lack of socialization from the government (Sagita, 2016), poverty and limited access provided by the government (Ompusunggu, 2017), and interest of bureaucracy in planning (Mbeche, 2017). These studies, indeed, have not considered yet cultural factor leading to disinvolvement. This qualitative case study extends previous studies by revealing the culture of mamfatin ukunrai discouraging community participation in development planning in Naran Village (pseudonym), Raimanuk Subdistrict, Belu Regency. Mamfatin ukunrai is a custom considering development planning is government's duties and responsibilities. Villagers are merely the executor of development programs. This custom is a legacy of royal government system and dominates the mindset of villagers. The tradition of highly appreciating the government unwittingly creates an invisible distance between government and society. It has discouraged villagers’ participation.
