Abstract

This study aims to explain the form of resistance from traditional traders after the fire against the relocation policy established by the Medan City Government, Indonesia. In-depth interviews were conducted with 6 informants who are traditional traders at Aksara Market and 1 informant as a representative from the Medan city government. This data was collected to find out the opinion and perspective of the community towards the relocation policy and reasons for the Medan city government to relocate Aksara traders to other places. The results indicate that traders in the Aksara market disagree with the relocation policy determined by the Medan City Government. Therefore, people represented their resistance by selling along the sidewalks of the Aksara market which had burned and caused traffic jams. Moreover, they established a group of fire victim traders called PK2PTAM (Representative of Fire Victims Traditional Traders of Aksara Market Medan) to struggle with the revitalization of Aksara Market. The main reason for the Medan City government in issuing this relocation policy was the flyover construction project which affects the location of Aksara market.

Abstract

The objective of this research was to analyze and discuss the social capital owned by the community in Aceh Tenggara in mitigating flood disasters. The research used the descriptive qualitative method. Our study revealed social capital owned by the community in Aceh Tenggara could help mitigate flood disasters. Cooperation among the central government, the regional government, and the local people seemed to be very good. It was performed commencing from helping the people in the post-incidence of the flood until its mitigation plan. The Cooperation has eventually established trust in the local people and the government that was involved in the policymaking, relocation activity, and distribution to the flood victims. The use of the values of people's local wisdom, such as 'Pelengakhi' (working together) by the local people, helped the flood victims. They also helped spread information about the flood through mosque loudspeakers. This social capital has become a collective strength owned by the local people in mitigating flood disasters.

Abstract

Coffee has become a highly favored commodity among various communities. One of the coffee-producing areas in Ajibata Subdistrict is Horsik Village, where farmers cultivate coffee on the slopes of the Toba Caldera. This article explains the strategy of strengthening farmers' economic institutions, starting from traditional planting and cultivation of robusta coffee based on local knowledge transmission to increasing the value of coffee products through local and regional market integration. The traditional technologies used have resulted in low yield quality and quantity, which subsequently leads to insufficient income for the socio-economic needs of the community. Strengthening institutional capacity through knowledge transfer, skill development, and provision of tools and technology for post-harvest processing is essential to improve productivity, income, and overall economic well-being of coffee farmers.
