Abstract

Food security in Indonesia faces a paradox between regulatory commitments and the reality of agrarian politics, especially in extractive regions. This study analyzes the root causes of the failure to implement food security policies in West Kutai Regency, East Kalimantan, an area with a drastically declining Food Security Index (FSI) despite its large agricultural land potential. Using a qualitative approach and document analysis of regional regulations as well as spatial and statistical secondary data, this study reveals three interrelated layers of problems. First, the land tenure structure dominated by Other Use Areas (APL) and the political licensing cycle have narrowed the space for food policy from the outset. Second, policy contradictions arise when food diversification programs have to compete with much greater incentives and licensing facilities for the palm oil and coal mining sectors. Third, the adaptive Sustainable Food Gardens (P2L) program emerged as a survival strategy at the household level, but its effectiveness is limited and risks becoming a symbolic compensation for the loss of large-scale food barns. This study concludes that the implementation gap in West Kutai is structural and political in nature, caused by the subordination of the food agenda to the extractive development regime. The policy implications demand coherent integration between food planning, spatial planning, and extractive sector regulation, as well as legal protection for sustainable agricultural areas.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the management of Solar Power Plants (PLTS) in Long Pahangai District, Mahakam Ulu Regency, East Kalimantan. The background of this research is the significant challenges related to energy access in Indonesia’s border areas, where infrastructure is limited and operational costs for conventional electricity provision are high. The research methodology used is a descriptive qualitative approach with a case study, which allows for an in-depth understanding of the implementation of renewable energy technology. The findings of the study show that the government subsidy policy for the installation of PLTS has a positive impact on increasing access to renewable energy, which in turn has led to improvements in the social and economic activities of the local community. However, limitations in human resources (HR), geographical challenges, and extreme weather conditions have been significant barriers in the management of PLTS. In addition, ineffective coordination between agencies has hindered the implementation of the program. The discussion reveals that to overcome these challenges, there is a need for increased technical training for the community, the use of communication technology to address geographical barriers, and improved coordination among the involved agencies. In conclusion, although PLTS offers long-term benefits, better collaboration between the government and the community is crucial to overcome the existing challenges, ensuring that the program runs effectively and sustainably
