Abstract

Indonesia’s regional autonomy framework has redistributed authority over natural resource management from the central government to provincial and district administrations, yet the consequences of this redistribution for peatland and coastal ecosystem governance remain unevenly studied. Existing scholarship concentrates heavily on the large peatland landscapes of Riau, Kalimantan, and South Sumatra, leaving the governance dynamics of smaller, peripheral coastal districts largely unexamined. This study addresses that gap by applying a political ecology framework to examine how environmental policy autonomy is exercised, contested, and constrained in three coastal districts of Bengkulu Province: Mukomuko, Seluma, and Bengkulu Utara. Using a mixed-method design that combines qualitative political ecology analysis with supportive quantitative ecological and policy data, the study draws on policy document review, semi-structured interviews with government officials and community actors, household surveys, and field observations conducted between 2022 and 2023. Findings indicate that regional autonomy has produced a form of “bounded discretion,” in which district governments possess formal authority over peatland-adjacent land-use decisions but exercise it within severe fiscal, technical, and political constraints that favor short-term revenue-generating land conversion over long-term ecological protection. Power asymmetries between district agencies, plantation companies, and local communities further shape unequal access to peatland resources. Compared with the more institutionally developed governance arrangements in Riau, Kalimantan, and South Sumatra, Bengkulu’s coastal districts exhibit weaker technical capacity, thinner civil society oversight, and a narrower policy toolkit. The study concludes regional autonomy, without corresponding investment in local ecological governance capacity, risks reproducing environmentally degrading development trajectories in peripheral peatland areas.

Abstract

Productive-economy programs in rural Indonesia increasingly depend on collaboration among local government, village cooperatives, and financial institutions. Most evaluations focus on income, business turnover, or budget realization, leaving the institutional relationships that connect public funds, cooperative operations, and credit largely unexamined. This study analyses that relationship as a triangular fiscal collaboration in five upland villages in Rejang Lebong and Kepahiang, Bengkulu Province. A qualitative institutional case study was combined with a participatory action research cycle, document review, focus group discussions, interviews, field observation, and a structured evaluation matrix covering economic, environmental, and institutional dimensions. The collaboration was mapped as a six-stage institutional value chain: agenda-setting and budgeting, capitalisation, intermediation, production support, market linkage, and monitoring with reinvestment. The analysis shows that collaboration is strongest when the three parties possess clear and mutually recognised mandates, particularly during capitalisation. Value is lost when responsibilities fall between organisations, especially at market linkage and monitoring, where informal collectors often perform functions that the formal arrangement cannot. Environmental criteria remain weakly integrated into fiscal, cooperative, and banking instruments, while participation is strongest during implementation and weaker in financing, marketing, and evaluation. The study argues that institutional value-chain analysis can locate collaboration failure at specific hand-offs and suggests that productive-economy policy should combine clearer inter-organisational agreements, market functions, ecological safeguards, and feedback mechanisms rather than relying on general calls for coordination.

Abstract

Local elections in Indonesia increasingly unfold through digital networks that connect campaign organisations, community groups, public officials, and customary actors. Existing studies often measure exposure or individual political attitudes, but provide less explanation of how local online networks circulate messages and convert digital visibility into political action. This study examines digital political mobilization in Bengkulu Province using a qualitative netnographic design. Observation across WhatsApp, Facebook, TikTok, and Instagram was combined with semi-structured interviews, focus group discussions, document review, and offline observation during one electoral cycle. The analysis integrates network interaction indicators with a formal-customary authority framework to examine reach, reciprocity, brokerage, legitimacy, and conversion into offline participation. The findings identify a layered campaign ecosystem and four recurring network forms: Directed Hierarchy, Affinity Cluster, Creator Swarm, and Endorsement Relay. Formal administrative authority primarily provides procedural reach, whereas customary and religious authority provides normative endorsement. Actors positioned across both authority systems function as hybrid brokers who move political messages between campaign structures and community networks. Digital participation is extensive in exposure but limited in deliberation, and high-reach networks do not necessarily generate strong offline participation. The results indicate that local digital mobilization is most effective when online circulation is embedded in pre-existing relationships that carry social accountability. The study develops a hybrid legitimacy brokerage interpretation of digital mobilization and highlights implications for electoral supervision, public-sector neutrality, and civic communication in local communities.

Abstract

Indonesia’s regional autonomy and fiscal decentralization reforms assign substantial public-service responsibilities to provincial governments, but cross-agency budget coordination remains institutionally demanding. A Bengkulu-centered comparative policy analysis was developed of the formal planning and budgeting arrangements relevant to Bengkulu, Jambi, West Sumatra, and South Sumatra. Rather than presenting unverified interview counts or comparative performance scores, it synthesizes decentralization, public financial management, collaborative governance, and environmental governance scholarship and examines the institutional logic of shared national budget rules. An integrated framework comprising 18 indicators in six dimensions—planning alignment, budget integration, institutional coordination, participation, ecological integration, and accountability—serves as a diagnostic instrument for future documentary and field-based verification. The framework highlights potential institutional tensions between single-agency budget authority and cross-cutting policy problems, particularly in upland landscapes that traverse administrative jurisdictions. It develops a four-step budget collaboration ladder and outlines policy options including earlier joint-priority negotiation, common program tagging, stronger cross-agency accountability, and spatially coordinated environmental planning. These are analytically derived propositions and recommendations, not estimated empirical effects or measured differences among the four provinces. The framework provides a transparent basis for further comparative testing once complete administrative and field data become available.

Abstract

Indonesian migrant worker families often face challenges in transforming remittance income and available agricultural land into sustainable economic opportunities due to limited financial literacy, inadequate business planning, and insufficient knowledge of environmentally friendly land management. Strengthening household financial capabilities and ecological agricultural practices is essential to supporting economic resilience and post-migration reintegration. This community service program aimed to enhance environmentally friendly land management, financial literacy, and micro-business planning among Indonesian migrant worker families in Taiwan through collaboration between Universitas Muhammadiyah Bengkulu and PCIM Taiwan. A participatory approach integrating hybrid training, experiential learning, and structured mentoring was implemented through four thematic modules. The program involved 68 participants across Taoyuan, Taipei, and Taichung, with evaluation conducted through pre-test and post-test assessments, business-plan reviews, focus group discussions, and verification involving 22 origin households in Bengkulu. The findings revealed an increase in average financial literacy scores from 54.3 to 79.6 points, while intended productive remittance allocation increased from 11.4% to 27.8%. Furthermore, 52 participants (76.5%) developed complete micro-business plans, of which 31 were assessed as immediately feasible using existing household resources. Twenty-nine households initiated dedicated productive savings arrangements, and five mentoring groups continued informal activities after training. These findings indicate improved financial and entrepreneurial planning capabilities and demonstrate the potential of diaspora-based community empowerment to strengthen migrant household economic preparedness. Nevertheless, longitudinal evaluation remains necessary to establish sustained economic and environmental outcomes.
