Abstract

This article examines the women's resistance movement in Padarincang District, Serang Regency, against the development of a Geothermal Power Plant, analyzed through an ecofeminist perspective. As human dependence on energy grows, there is increasing pressure to find alternative energy sources, such as geothermal energy, to meet daily needs. The proposed Geothermal Power Plant in Padarincang is part of Indonesia’s commitment to achieving Net Zero Emissions (NZE). However, local resistance emerged due to concerns over the potential economic and environmental impacts of the project. Using qualitative research methods and a case study approach, this study explores how women in Padarincang District contributed to the ecological movement. The findings reveal that the rejection stemmed from a lack of slot thailand community engagement and socialization about the development, leading to fears of environmental degradation. Many locals did not understand that geothermal energy could offer new opportunities for renewable energy. The resistance, particularly from women, gave rise to an ecofeminist movement addressing these environmental issues. This research contributes to the literature on the intersection of gender and environmental concerns, particularly by highlighting the role of women in such movements.

Abstract

This articel analyzes the role of ecofeminism in the activism of Women Farmers' Groups in Serang City in shaping ecological spaces through empowerment-based urban farming. The urgency of this research is grounded in the persistent patriarchal culture that confines women to the domestic sphere, despite many being in their productive years. Empowerment through Women Farmers' Groups serves as a form of resistance by creating ecological spaces that enable women to become independent and self-sufficient without leaving their homes. This article is conducted in Serang City, where land conversion into residential areas has resulted in numerous idle lands that have the potential to be utilized for urban farming. Employing a feminist critical ethnographic approach, the study finds that urban farming within Women Farmers' Groups fosters environmental awareness based on ecofeminist principles. This process occurs through knowledge reproduction facilitated by socialization and training, contributing to both household food security and environmental conservation. However, the lack of government support has led to the unsustainability of some Women Farmers' Groups  due to insufficient monitoring and assistance. The findings of this study are expected to serve as an evaluation tool for optimizing Women Farmers' Groups programs, ultimately strengthening food security and enhancing women's participation in environmental conservation through the creation of ecological spaces.
