Penguatan Muatan Lokal Untuk Pengembangan Ekowisata di Desa Lodtunduh, Kecamatan Ubud, Gianyar

Lodtunduh adalah salah satu desa yang berada di kecamatan Ubud, kabupaten Gianyar dan menjadi penyangga distinasi pariwisata dunia dengan penekanan pada ekowisatanya. Desa Lodtunduh memiliki potensi beragam muatan lokal (local contant) yang dapat dioptimalisasi fungsinya untuk pengembangan ekowisata. Besarnya potensi muatan lokal yang dapat dikembangan dalam menunjang pariwisata belum diikuti dengan hasil yang optimal. Oleh karena itu, dalam pengabdian ini perlu difokuskan pada pemahaman: 1) muatan lokal apa saja yang dapat dikembangkan untuk pengembangan ekowisata di desa Lodtunduh; 2) Bagaimana cara pengembangan muatan lokal agar bermanfaat atau fungsional untuk pengembangan ekowisata, dan 3) Apa implikasi penguatan muatan lokal terhadap kesejahteraan masyarakat desa Lodtunduh. Teori yang digunakan untuk menganalisis adalah teori fungsional A-G-I-L Talcot Parsons bahwa setiap tindakan selalu akan berhubungan dengan Adaptation, Goal, Integration, Latency. Karena pengabdian pada masyarakat ini dilaksanakan bersamaan dengan Kuliah Kerja Nyata Universitas Warmadesa 2021, maka pengamatan langsung (observation) dan

How Could We Design Democracy to Make it Work in the African Context?

Politics in Africa is becoming increasingly contested. This is true both in terms of electoral politics, with the margin of victory of ruling parties falling in many countries, and in terms of the capacity of citizens to access diverse sources of information with which to hold their governments to account. In turn, the continent’s more authoritarian political leaders—particularly those in resource-rich states insulated from international pressure to reform—have responded by employing new strategies to manipulate elections and restrict the flow of information. Taken together, these two trends help to explain why parts of sub-Saharan Africa has experienced democratic stagnation, and why so many recent elections have been controversial and, in a number of high-profile cases, violent. It is therefore more important than ever to understand how to design democratic constitutions in a way that manages the centrifugal forces that electoral competition can generate. This chapter discusses two strategies for achieving this goal: integration (the promotion of a single unified national identity through more centralized institutions), and accommodation (the recognition of subnational group identities through their formal inclusion in the political system). Although Alan Kuperman has recently made a strong case in favour of integration, this chapter comes to a different conclusion. While recognizing the risk that rapid institutional change will destabilize fragile political systems, I argue that we have good reason to encourage more inclusive political systems and so need to give greater thought to how they can be safely introduced.

The UN 2030 Agenda and the Quest for Policy Integration: A Literature Review

The adoption of the UN 2030 Agenda and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) represents a milestone in international sustainability politics. The broad and ambitious agenda calls for a reconsideration of established principles and practices of sustainability governance. This article examines how the 2030 Agenda changes the notion of policy integration, which represents a fundamental principle of sustainability governance. In general, policy integration denotes forms of cross-cutting policymaking to address the complexity of real-world problems. In the context of the sustainability discourse, the concept has long been interpreted as environmental policy integration, referring to the integration of environmental concerns into other sectoral policies. Based on a review of the current SDG literature, we examine whether and how this interpretation has changed. In so doing, the reasons (why?), objects (what?) and modes (how?) of policy integration in the context of the 2030 Agenda are specified. The analysis reveals that the 2030 Agenda promotes a comprehensive, reciprocal, and complex form of goal integration which differs markedly from environmental policy integration. This novel understanding of policy integration for sustainable development calls for future research on its impact and relevance in political practice.

Migration and Employment Policy and Their Impact on Social Integration: Evidence From Nigeria

Scholars have long sought answers for the socio-economic and political discomfort of immigrants. Migrants became underclass and exploited in their new environment. In a field survey conducted in Ondo State, Nigeria, the study examined the ontological submissions about immigrants’ plight for employment and the host community’s potentials at tapping high skills available among the migrants. The study anchored on Talcott Parson’s AGIL- Social System Theory of societal survival, most especially its functional prerequisites, notably adaptation, goal, integration and pattern maintenance. The overall finding emerging from the study is that social integration links positively to migrants’ acquired work ethics, acceptance into formal workforce, and socio-communal interactions. Consequently, standardised integration of skilled-migrants into workforce shaped cordial relationship and lasting peace between migrants and the host community.

Integrating to one program for re-accreditation

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to delineate lessons for business schools seeking re-accreditation and that face previous peer-review improvement expectations, strategic and operational imperatives similar to those faced at College of Business Administration (CBA) in University of the State Capital, all pseudonyms to mask their true identity. Design/methodology/approach Based on qualitative case study method, CBA’s Assessment Director, Gabriel Mouton, again a pseudonym, serves as the central protagonist whose interactive dialogical and technology-enabled change processes provide instructive practical lessons around the management of assurance of learning (AoL) for re-accreditation. Findings This paper offers a tripartite change focus in AoL for re-accreditation: balancing program goal integration with discipline differentiation, adopting an interactive dialogical shared governance process over a top-down or bottom-up process and technology-enabled straddling program depth and breadth. Research limitations/implications This paper is unique to CBA’s path-historical institutional change experiences in the USA with rich-shared faculty governance that may need to be first developed before emulation in institutions where such a tradition is absent. Practical implications The experiences narrated in this paper offer universal lessons for business schools aspiring to continuously improve their AoL and, in the process, uphold program meaning and quality standards for stakeholder relevance and re-accreditation. Social implications The experiences narrated in this paper offers lessons for tying program quality to external stakeholders’ expectations in the community, including for international business schools. Originality/value This paper advances an original tripartite change focus specifically relevant for business schools seeking re-accreditation and that are concurrently grappling with multiple strategic and operational imperatives.

Existence of Bali Aga community religion

The research is aimed at exploring how the belief system of Bali Aga community? how the strategy for retention the identity of the Bali Aga community? and (3) how the implications of preserving the identity of the Balinese Aga community?. The grand theories used in the present study included structural functionalism, phenomenology, and religious. Data were collected through observation techniques, in-depth interviews, and document studies. Having analyzed data is conducted interpretive description techniques. Based on the results of the research conducted in Pedawa Village, it was found that the people currently still preserve their ancestral cultural heritage in the sense that the traditions and religious systems. They inherit are still functional in managing their socio-religious life. The adjustments are indeed conducted in order to preserve the continuity of the traditions that they do.

The study also found that there was an exciting kind of awakening to strengthen the religious system and traditions. They inherited unlike reviving the sacred dances they had, and the tradition of planting of gaga rice had been increasingly difficult to find. It is one of the important facilities in the Bali Aga ritual system.

Why Passionate Employees Can Have It All: Passion Lowers Time Stress by Enhancing Goal Integration

Passionate employees seem to effortlessly juggle numerous work commitments and devote vast amounts of time and energy to the advancement of their goals. Past research suggests that this dedication improves the productivity of passionate employees. However, it is unclear how employees' work passion promotes their resolve. We propose that employees' passion for work reduces how much time pressure they perceive, providing them with the feeling that they have sufficient time to accomplish their goals. This occurs, we suggest, because employees' passion for work integrates seemingly disparate work-related ambitions within one common drive. To provide evidence for this hypothesis, we conducted four studies, including two field studies with employees at a technology and financial services company, and two pre-registered experimental studies (N = 3,321). Our results reveal why passionate employees attain better outcomes, and help to shed light on when and why their passion for work is likely to incur productivity benefits.
