Abstract

This study investigates the sustainability of seaweed cultivation as a strategic economic resource and its implications for community welfare in Raijua District, Sabu Raijua Regency, Indonesia. Employing a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation involving key stakeholders, including seaweed farmers, local authorities, and marine experts. The research aims to explore the socio-economic, environmental, and institutional factors influencing the sustainability of seaweed farming, and to assess its potential in supporting regional economic development. Findings reveal that the sustainability of seaweed cultivation is shaped by multiple interrelated factors such as environmental conditions, site selection, cultivation technology, farmer management skills, market access, infrastructure, government policy, education, and institutional collaboration. These factors directly affect productivity, resilience, and the long-term viability of seaweed farming. The study also highlights the positive impacts of seaweed cultivation on community welfare through income generation, reduced urban migration, empowerment of marginalized groups, economic diversification, and the growth of micro and small enterprises. Furthermore, environmentally friendly cultivation practices contribute to marine ecosystem conservation, carbon sequestration, and sustainable resource management. The study concludes that seaweed cultivation, when supported by integrated policy frameworks and stakeholder cooperation, can serve as a sustainable livelihood strategy and an engine for regional economic growth. These insights are valuable for policymakers, development practitioners, and researchers focusing on sustainable aquaculture and coastal economic resilience in developing regions.

Abstract

Kabupaten Rote Ndao memiliki potensi dalam pengembangan ternak Domba Rote, namun sistem pemeliharaan yang masih tradisional menyebabkan produktivitas ternak belum optimal. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk 1) mengidentifikasi karakteristik usaha pemeliharaan Domba Rote berdasarkan sistem pemeliharaan, tatalaksana pakan, penanganan reproduksi, dan kesehatan ternak di Kabupaten Rote Ndao, 2) Untuk menganalisis karakteristik dan sistem usaha pemeliharaan ternak domba rote serta keterkaitannya dengan jumlah kepemilikan. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan metode survei. Penentuan lokasi penelitian dilakukan secara purposive sampling berdasarkan wilayah dengan populasi ternak domba yang tinggi, sedangkan penentuan responden dilakukan secara purposive terhadap peternak yang aktif memelihara Domba Rote. Penelitian melibatkan 75 responden yang tersebar di tiga desa. Data dikumpulkan melalui observasi, wawancara mendalam, dokumentasi, dan penyebaran kuesioner. Analisis data dilakukan secara deskriptif kualitatif melalui tahap reduksi data, penyajian data, dan penarikan kesimpulan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa peternak di Kabupaten Rote Ndao umumnya menerapkan sistem pemeliharaan semi-intensif dengan pola manajemen yang relatif seragam pada aspek pemeliharaan, pemberian pakan, reproduksi, dan kesehatan ternak. Ketersediaan pakan yang terbatas pada musim kemarau serta rendahnya pengetahuan peternak mengenai kesehatan ternak menjadi kendala utama dalam usaha pemeliharaan Domba Rote. Penelitian ini memberikan gambaran mengenai kondisi usaha peternakan domba rakyat di Kabupaten Rote Ndao dan diharapkan menjadi bahan pertimbangan dalam pengembangan usaha ternak yang lebih efektif dan berkelanjutan.

Abstract

Micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) play an important role in national and regional economic growth. Nevertheless, household food-product MSMEs in South Central Timor Regency continue to face various constraints that hinder improvements in competitiveness, including weak financial recordkeeping, limited production technology, low workforce knowledge, limited business capital, suboptimal product quality standardization, and inadequate business legality. This study aims to: (1) identify and analyze the factors affecting the competitiveness of household food-product MSMEs in South Central Timor Regency based on the Porter Diamond Model; (2) formulate alternative strategies for developing the competitiveness of household food-product MSMEs in South Central Timor Regency based on SWOT analysis; and (3) determine the most appropriate priority strategies for developing competitive household food-product MSMEs in South Central Timor Regency using the AHP method. A mixed-methods approach combining qualitative and quantitative approaches in a single study was employed through questionnaires and interviews with 56 MSME respondents (determined using Slovin's formula) and five expert respondents purposively selected based on their competence and experience in developing household food MSMEs in TTS Regency. The Internal Factor Evaluation (IFE) matrix yielded a total score of 2.686, while the External Factor Evaluation (EFE) matrix yielded 2.695, placing TTS MSMEs in Cell V (hold and maintain) of the IE matrix. The SWOT analysis produced nine alternative strategies. The AHP analysis identified business legality as the most influential factor (weight: 0.242), with the highest-priority strategy being to build customer trust through legally compliant products (weight: 0.220). These findings offer practical recommendations for the Local Government, MSME actors, and future research. This study also makes a scholarly contribution by integrating the Porter Diamond Model, SWOT, and the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) in formulating strategies to develop the competitiveness of household food MSMEs, an approach that has rarely been applied in previous studies in South Central Timor Regency.

Abstract

Background Telecommunication accessibility is a key driver of inclusive development, particularly in Indonesia’s 3T (Disadvantaged, Frontier, and Outermost) regions, where geographical isolation and infrastructure limitations constrain economic opportunities. To reduce the digital divide, the Indonesian government has prioritized national programs such as the Palapa Ring and the deployment of Base Transceiver Stations (BTSs). This study examines how these initiatives influence telecommunication accessibility and local economic dynamics in East Nusa Tenggara (NTT). Methods This study employed a qualitative case study approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with local government officials, telecommunication providers, community leaders, and end users, complemented by field observations and document analysis. The data were analyzed thematically to identify access conditions, structural challenges, and local economic responses to telecommunication development. Results The findings indicate that expanding fiber-optic networks and BTS infrastructure has improved basic connectivity and reduced isolation in several 3T areas. Improved access supports micro, small, and medium enterprise activities, enhances access to digital education, and enables emerging digital-based livelihoods. However, benefits remain uneven due to persistent last-mile connectivity gaps, unstable network quality, low digital literacy, and limited affordability. Conclusions Telecommunication infrastructure development in 3T regions is necessary but insufficient for inclusive local economic growth. Integrating infrastructure expansion with digital literacy programs, affordability support, and targeted last-mile interventions is essential to maximize socio-economic benefits.
