Objective - This researchcarries three objectives. First, it aims to analyse the variables that affect readiness in facing the AEC. Second, it aims to analyse aspects that can affect the preparation of the empowerment model based on the economic potentials of the Wonogiri community for export opportunities. Finally, it aims to see how the proposed model can be implemented as an empowerment model. Methodology/Technique - The analytical tools used in this research include a descriptive statistical analysis and the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) is used to determine aspects affecting the preparation of the empowerment model. In the Qualitative analysis of the implementation of the empowerment model, data will be drawn from focus group discussions and in-depth interviews. Findings - Results show that factors affecting the success of empowerment on communities include education age, capital, business types, and entrepreneurial experiences. Priority variables noted in the preparation of the empowerment model include three aspects: internal aspects of business players and community, institutional aspects, and external aspects. Results also indicate that the model is applicable for the empowerment efforts of business players and community in the Wonogiri regency in facing the AEC. Novelty - Community empowerment model for the AEC has not been specifically conducted in Wonogiri. Thus, in drawing up a strategic plan for the years 2016-2020 as contained in RPJMD Wonogiri, the government has only planned for the empowerment programs in general. Type of Paper: Empirical Keywords: Economic Empowerment Model, Analytical Hierarchy Process, Wonogiri Regency, Indonesia.

The problem of community empowerment, especially among the middle class, is a critical issue for the government in achieving the success of the development. If in the early 1970s few social movements and government groups were actively concerned and capable of dealing with developmental issues, now the situation is much in tandem with the establishment of thousands of NGOs (non-governmental organisations). The emergence of one of the typologies of non-governmental organisations with the background of Islamic educational institutions involving Kiai and several santri as the backbone of the organisation became one of the forms of innovation of Islamic educational institutions which aimed to empower the community. One of the NGOs with Islamic education background is the Pesantren and Society Development Bureau (BPPM) Pesantren Maslakul Huda (PMH) Kajen Margoyoso Pati founded by Kiai M.A Sahal Mahfudh who is active in community empowerment action in the country.Masalah pemberdayaan masyarakat terutama masyarakat kalangan menengah kebawah merupakan masalah yang sangat penting bagi pemerintah dalam mencapai keberhasilan pembangunan. Jika pada awal tahun 1970-an hanya sedikit gerakan sosial dan kelompok pemerintah yang secara aktif peduli dan mampu menangani masalah pembangunan, kini keadaan tersebut sudah jauh berbeda dengan berdirinya ribuan Lembaga Swadaya Masyarakat (LSM). Munculnya salah satu tipologi LSM yang berlatar belakang lembaga pendidikan Islam dengan melibatkan Kiai serta sejumlah santri sebagai tulang punggung organisasi, menjadi salah satu bentuk inovasi lembaga pendidikan Islam yang bertujuan untuk memberdayakan masyarakat. Salah satu LSM yang berlatarbelakang lembaga pendidikan islam adalah Biro Pengembangan Pesantren dan Masyarakat (BPPM) Pesantren Maslakul Huda (PMH) Kajen Margoyoso Pati, Jawa Tengah yang didirikan oleh Kiai M.A Sahal Mahfudh yang berkiprah dalam aksi pemberdayaan masyarakat di Tanah Air.

The main objective of this research is to formulate a participatory and inclusive model of economic development by optimizing the potential of local resources in Kebumen regency, Central Java, Indonesia by 1) identifying local resource-based economic potentials to be developed into pilot projects in regional development, 2) analyzing factors affecting the success of potential development, 3) analyzing the needs that influence the increase of community and stakeholders participation in regional development activities. This study uses Geographic Information System to map economic potential, Analytical Hierarchy Process to analyze factors that influence community participation, and ATLAS.ti to analyze needs and activities in developing leading sectors. The analysis shows that the economic potential in Kebumen district is focused on the potential of natural resources which include forestry, agriculture, fisheries, plantations and livestock. The regional development needs to be carried out thoroughly from upstream to downstream. AHP analysis shows that the factors that influence the success of potential development are internal, institutional and external factors. Needs analysis shows that the community holds an important role but must be supported by other stakeholders, namely the government, business actors and academics.This study recommends upstream-downstream development through nature-based ecotourism. The upstream sector that must be prepared is natural conservation combined with access to accessibility. The concept of back-to-nature developed in ecotourism must be supported by the provision of facilities and infrastructure that allows visitors to reach and enjoy the nature's beauty. In the downstream sector, tourism support services such as culinary and souvenir typical of Kebumen regency become an important part and need to involve all elements of community, especially those around the tourism destinations.

<p>Public awareness about healthy lifestyles leads people to want to understand more about the food they consume. Choosing organic vegetables is one alternative choices when seeking to have a healthy body and healthy lifestyle. Unfortunately, not a lot of organic vegetable farmers in Indonesia succeed in seizing the organic vegetable market rather than the non-organic and the competition with imported organic vegetables into Indonesia prevents farmers from thriving. This study aims to: 1) Analyze the factors affecting the competitiveness of the organic vegetables market; 2) Analyze the appropriate strategy for increasing the competitiveness of the organic vegetables market; 3) Analyze the factors priority strategies for improving the competitiveness of the organic vegetables market. Porter's Generic Model and Analysis Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) is used to determine the best strategy. The research found that organic vegetables marketing channels are still dominated by conventional market; the higher cost for intensive cultivation of organic vegetables. The main strategies are derived from the analysis is focusing on market delivery. There needs to be retailers of organic vegetables either modern or traditional to display these products. The establishment of organic vegetable outlets and online marketing that are not dependent on large retail (hypermarket) become recommendations in this study.</p><p><em><strong>Bahasa Indonesia Abstrak:</strong> Kesadaran masyarakat tentang gaya hidup sehat memberi pilihan kepada masyarakat untuk memahami makanan yang mereka konsumsi. Pilihan sayuran organik merupakan salah satu alternatif untuk memiliki tubuh sehat dan gaya hidup sehat bagi masyarakat. Sayangnya, tidak banyak petani sayuran organik di Indonesia yang berhasil merebut pasar sayuran organik daripada non organic. Persaingan produk impor sayuran organik ke Indonesia membuat petani tidak bisa berkembang. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk: 1) Menganalisis faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi daya saing pasar sayuran organik; 2) Menganalisis strategi yang tepat untuk meningkatkan daya saing pasar sayuran organik; 3) Menganalisis faktor strategi prioritas untuk meningkatkan daya saing pasar sayuran organik. Model Generik Porter dan Analisis Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) digunakan untuk menentukan strategi terbaik. Penelitian ini menemukan bahwa saluran pemasaran sayuran organik masih didominasi oleh pasar konvensional; Biaya yang lebih tinggi untuk budidaya sayuran organik secara intensif. Strategi utama yang didapat dari analisis adalah strategi fokus pada pengiriman pasar. Perlu ada pengecer sayuran organik baik modern maupun tradisional untuk memasarkan produk ini.

Increase in demand for clean energy is one of the strategic issues in Indonesia nowadays, considering the significant economic growth of the country. A conventional LNG supply chain is not the best solution taking into consideration its high investment. The possibility of using a small scale LNG supply chain concept (Mini LNG) is recently sought by the government and private sectors in Indonesia. It is even more promising when we consider the amounts and number of stranded gas fields in the country. One of the main obstacles to the development plan is the geographical position of Indonesia as an archipelagic country. This paper presents a case study of LNG supply chain model of 10 mmscfd Gas Sales Agreement (GSA) in Batam and its design of LNG transportation model from Batam to Siantan-West Kalimantan [1]. The distance between Batam and Siantan is approximately 392 nautical miles. Two main objectives are covered in this paper. The first one is an implementation of the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) to select the best location for mini LNG plant, and the second one is to design the LNG supply chain model based on optimization approach. The AHP model uses a pairwise comparison of 4 (four) qualitative attributes and 14 (fourteen) sub-attributes. 3 alternatives of location for mini LNG plant are evaluated, namely: Tanjung Uncang, Pemping Island and Janda Berhias Island. A sensitivity analysis by varying the weight of some critical attributes is also conducted to ensure that preferred location is sensitively selected with minimum error. The optimization of the LNG supply chain model is carried out by means of Gradually Reduced Gradient (GRG) methods. The Objective is to attain one design that will minimize investment (cost). Decision variables of the model are LNG plant capacity, storage tank capacity in loading and receiving terminal, vessel size, number of round trip, number of operating vessels, regasification capacity at the receiving terminal, and others.
