Abstract

Through the implementation of the Village Law in 2014, the Indonesian government seeks to promote rural development and village autonomy by decentralizing power. The 2014 Village Law has two important points: the village fund and the extension of a village head’s term. This article tested to what extent the village fund has impacted the village head election and whether the village fund has improved villagers’ political participation in running for the village head election. The method used in this study is quantitative through a survey of 96 random village head candidates in the 2016 village head election in 117 villages in Banjar Regency, South Kalimantan. The findings show that the village funds have an impact on the quality of the nomination of village heads and facilitate the public’s involvement in the election. This phenomenon underscores the importance of village funds in encouraging democratic practices and the grassroots community’s participation in village governance. Changes in regulations of village fund implementation influence the participation of village residents in running for village head election, encouraging them to participate in the democratic process at the village level.

Abstract

Purpose: To discuss the current condition of food estate in Kalimantan Tengah, the environmental and social costs, and how to balance the competing interests. Results: Food security is a global concern. The food estates in Central Kalimantan represent a strategic initiative of the Indonesian government aimed at bolstering national food security through the establishment of extensive, integrated agricultural zones. However, they also come with significant environmental and social costs. Large-scale deforestation and habitat disruption associated with food estates can force wildlife closer to human populations and livestock. Excessive use of pesticides and fertilizers in food estates can contaminate water sources, impacting aquatic life and harming human health. The relationship is complex and often fraught with tension. Balancing these competing interests requires a multi-pronged approach. The policy should be applied in the open-participatory concept, where all parties involved are involved in formulating, implementing, and evaluating the policy. Thus, the policy becomes the fruit of collective thinking, and there is a sense of ownership of each party to the policy. Not only from the implementation side but also from the evaluation process. In food estates, the use of resources is tied to the emergence of clientelism practices, where social, economic, and political ties form a very hierarchical network in the implementation of food estates. The lack of alignment and sustainable planning in implementing the food estate has also led to failure in maintaining the desired power through the program. Conclusion: Sustainable public policies, community engagement, and a shift towards environmentally friendly agricultural practices are crucial for ensuring food security for the future without compromising public and environmental health.

Abstract

This research explored the challenges and solutions to governing Indonesian border areas, with a particular focused on Temajuk Village in Sambas Regency, West Kalimantan Province. The research highlighted two critical issues: increased smuggling of illegal goods and socio-environmental vulnerabilities, particularly regarding the conservation of endangered sea turtles. The research identified systemic weaknesses, including inadequate state capacity, limited law enforcement and socio-economic disparity factors that exacerbate transnational challenges. The findings exposed potential national threats caused by geographic isolation, and porous borders that facilitate illicit activities, such as drug and alcoholic drinks smuggling, with serious social consequences, including youth delinquency, early marriage, declining education levels, and increased health risks, such as the spread of HIV/AIDS. Furthermore, unsustainable exploitation of sea turtles for cultural and economic purposes also threatens biodiversity. This article proposes a multifaceted strategy to address these interrelated issues, prioritizing effective border management, sustainable economic development, and strong community engagement. Strengthening institutional and individual capacities at the village level, improving law enforcement and encouraging cross-sectoral cooperation between village, district, provincial and national governments are essential. Highlighting the threats to Temajuk Village, this research promotes evidence-based local strategies that align national security with ecological and social well-being and offers insights into sustainable governance in border areas.
