Abstract

Illegal Artisanal Small-Scale Gold Mining (PETI) in Poboya, Palu City, exemplifies Indonesia’s nexus of socio-environmental vulnerability and institutional marginalization. Although environmental degradation, health impacts, and regulatory challenges associated with PETI have been extensively documented, limited research has systematically examined how the interplay of capital assets and internal motivation drives livelihood transformation pathways within PETI communities. To address this gap, this study uniquely integrates the Sustainable Livelihood Framework with spatial analysis to assess the combined influence of environmental, social, and economic capitals on PETI livelihood transitions. Using a mixed-methods approach, data were collected through quantitative survey and qualitative in-depth interviews with 119 PETI workers selected through purposive and convenience sampling analyzed using Atlas.ti and spatial data analyzed using Geographic Information Systems (GIS). Quantitative analysis using multiple linear regression revealed that environmental capital (β=0.288), social capital (β=0.400), economic capital (β=0.304), and motivation to change (β=0.340) had significant positive effects (p<0.001) on livelihood transformation. Qualitative narrative analysis revealed that persistent informal institutional networks, constrained access to formal financing, and perceptions of repressive policy frameworks continue to sustain PETI activities despite environmental and legal risks. Spatial analysis demonstrated that PETI activities are concentrated in high mineral potential zones with informal accessibility, underlining the combined role of ecological opportunity and socio-economic necessity. This study contributes to the literature by providing empirical evidence on how capital assets and motivation interact spatially and socially to influence livelihood transformation, offering a more integrated perspective beyond prior research that predominantly focused on environmental impacts and regulatory issues. The findings underscore the need for policy interventions that combine capital strengthening, motivational mobilization, and inclusive institutional reforms to facilitate fair, legal, and sustainable livelihood transitions for PETI communities.

Abstract

Terrorism constitutes a complex, man-made social disaster that threatens national stability, particularly the president as a symbol of state sovereignty. This study analyzes the growing terrorist threats targeting the President of the Republic of Indonesia and examines their multidimensional impacts. The research employs a qualitative approach through literature review, semi-structured interviews, and field observations, with thematic analysis grounded in terrorism studies and security theory. The findings indicate that threats to the president have become increasingly diverse and technologically sophisticated. In addition to conventional physical attacks, emerging threats include cyberattacks, digital disinformation, the use of drones, deepfake operations, lone-actor extremism, and the potential deployment of chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) materials. Although terrorism incidents in Indonesia have generally declined, risks persist through unconventional attack patterns. Threats against the head of state generate wide-ranging consequences for political stability, social cohesion, economic resilience, and international relations. Therefore, ensuring presidential security requires an integrated, intelligence-based strategy emphasizing early detection, rapid response, and adaptive, sustained interagency coordination.

Abstract

Customary areas in Indonesia, including Kasepuhan Karang, play a crucial role in forest conservation and climate change mitigation. According to data from the Indigenous Territory Registration Agency (BRWA), the Kasepuhan Karang customary area covers 1.081 hectares, with land cover composition including primary dry forest, settlements, mixed dry agriculture, and rice fields. The methods used in this study include GIS analysis and remote sensing with high-resolution imagery from PlanetScope, as well as field data verification. This study aims to analyze the potential above-ground carbon stocks in the customary area of Kasepuhan Karang, Banten Province. The results show that the primary dry forest land cover has the highest biomass potential of 38.507 Mg and carbon stocks of 18.099 Mg C. The total carbon stocks in the Kasepuhan Karang customary area are 42.986 Mg C, with varying distribution across different land cover classes. Mixed dry agriculture, which dominates this area, also has significant biomass potential and carbon stocks. These findings emphasize the importance of sustainable land management to optimize carbon sequestration potential and support climate change mitigation.

Abstract

Background: Climate change has become a major global challenge, particularly for vulnerable archipelagic and agrarian countries like Indonesia. Many rice fields in coastal areas—including Cirebon District—are highly exposed to extreme climate events such as prolonged droughts. These conditions disrupt rice farmers’ livelihood systems and reduce their income, threatening their overall livelihood resilience. Methods: This study employed a mixed-methods approach by integrating qualitative and quantitative data to develop a system dynamics model. The model explored interactions between livelihood capital assets, self-organization, learning capacity, and climate conditions. Livelihood resilience was assessed through farmers’ income as a key livelihood outcome. Finding: Model outcomes show that rice farmers’ livelihood systems are not resilient to drought impacts, as their income consistently falls below the ideal threshold. Drought events disrupt livelihoods and lead to income losses, and current farmer-led adaptation efforts are insufficient to improve resilience. Without intervention from government or relevant stakeholders, the livelihood system is projected to remain non-resilient in the future. Conclusion: Rice farmers in Cirebon District lack adequate resilience to cope with drought impacts. Strengthening livelihood resilience requires targeted government interventions to improve critical subsystems, including irrigation governance, crop insurance mechanisms, adaptive farming capacity, and access to climate information. Novelty/Originality of this article: This study provides a system-level understanding of rice farmers’ livelihood resilience by integrating system dynamics modeling with mixed-methods data. It offers a holistic analysis of how livelihood assets, learning capacity, self-organization, and climate stressors interact, and identifies leverage points for policy intervention in drought-prone coastal regions.
