The present paper introduces the handicraft known as pattachitra art, which personifies Odisha’s culture and spiritual observances. Pattachitra is a renowned traditional painting of Raghurajpur village in Puri, Odisha (formerly Orissa), Eastern India. The study aims to examine the artisan’s financial accessibility and the problems of financial scarcity confronted by them and to understand various approaches made by them to sustain their painting under changing trends. The study is a mixed method approach that includes a personal interview, observations, and rapid rural appraisal. It also includes SWOT analysis (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats), and ABC analysis, which helped to prepare a policy framework. Lastly, the paper has documented pictorial facts to show the innovative approaches adapted for sustaining this traditional art.

Rural Appraisal

Kajian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui kesiapan per aspek maupun secara keseluruhan aspek serta strategi yang dapat dikembangkan dalam mendukung sentra perikanan perairan umum daratan (PUD) sebagai kawasan minapolitan. Pendekatan penelitian yang digunakan adalah studi kasus pada 9 (Sembilan) kabupaten yang berpotensi untuk dikembangkan sebagai kawasan minapolitan. Teknik pengumpulan data yaitu melalui studi pustaka, wawancara, Rapid Rural Appraisal (RRA) dan mail survey. Kajian ini menggunakan metode analisis SWOT (Strength, Weakness, Opportunity and Threat) untuk merumuskan strategi pengembangan kawasan minapolitan. Hasil penelitian ini adalah berupa rumusan strategi pengembangan kawasan minapolitan pada 4 (empat) ekosistem PUD yaitu waduk, sungai/rawa, sungai dan danau. Strategi pengembangan kawasan minapolitan untuk pada ekosistem waduk (Jatiluhur, Kabupaten Purwakarta, Jawa Barat) terkait dengan pengelolaan keberlanjutan sumber daya waduk (pengawasan danpembatasan KJA). Pada ekosistem sungai/rawa (Kabupaten Ogan Ilir, Kabupaten Sumatera Selatan) strategi pengembangannya terkait dengan pemanfaatan sumber daya air sebagai saran transportasi maupun kegiatan perikanan. Pada ekosistem sungai (Kabupaten Barito Selatan, Kalimantan Tengah) strategi pengembangan minapolitan yang perlu dilakukan terkait dengan pembangunan infrastruktur pendukung baik dari sisi transportasi dan pemasaran hasil produksi perikanan. Pada ekosistem danau (Toba, Kabupaten Simalungun, Sumatera Utara) strategi yang perlu dilakukan terkait dengan perumusan kebijakan-kebijakan mengenai pengelolaan danau seperti pengawasan dan pengendalian penggunaan alat tangkap.Title: Economic and Social Characteristics and Development Strategy Inland Fisheries as Minapolitan Development Area This study aims to determine the readiness per aspect and overall aspects and strategies that can be developed in support the inland waters fisheries centers (PUD) as minapolitan area. The research approach was using a case study on a 9 (nine) districts that have the potential to be developed as the minapolitan. The data collection techniques were through literature study, interviews, Rapid Rural Appraisal (RRA) and mail surveys.The research was using the method of SWOT analysis (Strength, Weakness, Opportunity and Threat) to formulate development strategies of minapolitan area. The results of this study were the development strategy formulation of minapolitan area in 4 (four) PUD ecosystems, namely reservoirs, rivers / swamps, rivers and lakes. Development strategy of Minapolitan area for the reservoir ecosystem (Jatiluhur, Purwakarta Regency, West Java) related to sustainable management of reservoir resources (supervision and restriction KJA). On the river ecosystem / swamp (Ogan Ilir, South Sumatra Regency) the development strategy related to the use of water resources for transportation and fisheries activities. On the river ecosystem (South Barito Regency, Central Kalimantan) Minapolitan development strategy needs to be done related to the development of supporting infrastructure in terms of transportation and marketing of fishery products. In the ecosystem of the lake (Toba, Simalungun District, North Sumatra) strategies need to be linked to the formulation of policies concerning the management of the lake such as monitoring and controlling of fishing gears.

This paper summarizes the main findings derived from the field study held in three heritage villages located in the proximity of Melaka and George Town city. This study has employed a mixed method approach by using a questionnaire survey on the residents and interviews involving officials and local village leaders of the Morten Village and the Chitty Village in Melaka as well as the Clan Jetty Village in George Town. This study was conducted to address an overarching question, which is whether incentives programme that have been formulated for the community are suitable for their aspirations and needs. This paper analyses the residents’ perception on the effectiveness of the current incentives policy by using Bennett’s programme evaluation method. It evaluates the findings in relation to the present policy framework for understanding and managing the cultural heritage incentives programme in order to establish the sustainable community in the heritage village. As observed, this study has identified some constraints such as low quality of the conservation works and lack of incentives provision from the viewpoints of the local residents. In dealing with the efficiency of the current incentives programme, this study has taken the stance that a policy formulation for the incentives programme should visually reflect the ‘real’ needs of the local communities.

Method Approach

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to understand and measure empirically the objective and perceived dimensions of supplier-induced complexity in supply chains. Design/methodology/approach An equal-weight, complementary mixed-method approach is used to investigate supplier-induced complexity and understand its impact on outcomes. Initial qualitative research and extant literature review allowed the identification of supplier characteristics that add complexity to supply chains and development of four research hypotheses. Subsequently, quantitative analysis was used for testing the hypotheses. Findings The results suggest that supplier-induced complexity is related to adverse outcomes, and both perceived and objective dimensions of complexity are valuable in understanding and measuring supplier-induced complexity. Research limitations/implications This study employs a mixed-method approach to establish and test relationships among perceived and objective supplier-induced complexity, and their outcomes. The unit of analysis is the first-tier suppliers of one farm equipment manufacturing firm. This limits the generalizability of the results to similar industrial manufacturing firms. Practical implications This paper presents an approach to identify suppliers that add the highest levels of complexity to a supply chain and, thus, require closer monitoring. Specific supplier characteristics are identified for individual suppliers. Developing specific complexity-related measures helps better identify critical suppliers compared to traditional approaches (e.g. ABC analysis). Originality/value This paper contributes to supply chain management literature by comprehensively exploring supplier-induced complexity, incorporating the often-ignored perceived complexity dimension, and providing a managerially useful framework.

Method Approach

This study examines the contribution of CSR programs of multinational enterprises (MNEs) operating in Bangladesh in the poverty alleviation. The authors employed a mixed-method approach to collect qualitative data by interviewing executives of ten MNEs while for quantitative data annual reports, websites, and articles were consulted. Results depicted insignificant contribution of MNEs in poverty alleviation by their corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives. The average contribution of sample MNEs stand at only 0.52 per cent of profits after tax to CSR programs, ranging from 2.96% to 0.15%. The study reveals that most of the MNEs are not contributing as per their financial capacity and they lack a policy of donating a reasonable portion of profit to CSR along with poverty alleviation priority. The study suggests that government of Bangladesh must act sincerely and deliberately for active involvement of MNEs in CSR programs helpful for poverty alleviation by necessary policy framework and motivational supports with a view to accelerate the poverty alleviation movement for a happy, prosperous, and progressive Bangladesh.
