Abstract

The global community recognizes social forestry as a way to improve community welfare through sustainable forest programs. In Indonesia, this program aims to involve local communities in forest management, providing multiple benefits such as forest preservation, improved livelihoods, and poverty reduction. This study aims to analyze the sustainability of a social forestry program for both Community Forest (CF) and non-Community Forest (non-CF) schemes (Village Forests and Community Plantation Forests). The research was conducted in Sijunjung, Solok, Padang Pariaman Regencies, and Padang City, involving a sample of 33 CF participants and 65 non-CF participants selected through snowball sampling. The data were collected through direct interviews and focus group discussions (FGDs) at provincial and regency levels. The business sustainability assessment utilized multidimensional indicators (MDS) across three dimensions: economic, social, and institutional and analyzed using Rap_MForest. The findings revealed that social forestry program had a moderate level of sustainability in all dimensions; however, the social dimension showed lower sustainability, owing to limited community participation and ineffective empowerment of non-group members. The sustainability index of CF scheme was higher than the non-CF (VF and CPF). The CF model emerged as the more adaptable and comprehensive approach, promoting both environmental conservation and socioeconomic development. Therefore, prioritizing the institutional strengthening of VF and CPF became crucial. In addition, enhancing the active role and involvement of group members in the social forestry program within the social dimension was also essential. To enhance sustainability, efforts should be focused on strengthening mentoring and counseling programs for social forestry groups involved in state forest and community plantation initiatives.

Abstract

Regional economic factors, income levels, and the availability of substitutes influence the demand for beef, chicken, and eggs in Indonesia. Beef is considered a luxury commodity in higher-income areas and exhibits greater price sensitivity in lower-GDP regions. Chicken, a staple protein source, generally demonstrates inelastic demand but increases price sensitivity in the lower GDP areas. Eggs, being more affordable, exhibit higher price elasticity, particularly in lower-GDP regions, and often complement beef consumption. This study examines the own-price, cross-price, and income elasticities for beef, chicken, and eggs in Indonesia, comparing these effects across provinces with varying income per capita levels. The research utilized secondary data from the Central Statistics Agency, encompassing per capita commodity consumption, consumption values, and prices from 2013 to 2023 across 33 provinces. The Almost Ideal Demand System (AIDS) model analyzed the interrelated consumption of beef, broiler chicken, and eggs. Certain provinces were excluded due to data limitations, particularly in newly formed regions with insufficient historical records. The findings of this research indicate that price sensitivity, regional economic factors, and consumer preferences influence the demand for beef, chicken, and eggs. Income disparities affect substitution patterns, wherein rising chicken prices lead to increased beef consumption, while eggs complement beef and premium varieties are perceived as luxury goods. Consequently, there is a necessity for policies addressing regional economic disparities, food security, and affordability, especially as premium products such as organic eggs become more prevalent and the cost of animal proteins increases.

Abstract

In the highly competitive beauty product industry, companies are required to implement innovative and relevant marketing strategies to maintain and increase consumer buying interest. Recent phenomena indicate that marketing mix elements (product, price, place, and promotion) are often underutilized or focused too narrowly on a single aspect. Meanwhile, the use of brand ambassadors, particularly South Korean celebrities, has become a dominant trend, believed to build emotional appeal and enhance positive consumer perceptions. This study aims to analyze the influence of the marketing mix and brand ambassadors on buying interest, as well as examine the moderating role of brand ambassadors in this relationship. This research adopts a quantitative associative approach, using questionnaires distributed to consumers exposed to brand ambassador promotional campaigns. Data analysis was conducted using multiple linear regression and moderated regression analysis. The results indicate that both the marketing mix and brand ambassadors have a positive and significant effect on consumer buying interest. However, the role of brand ambassadors as a moderating variable in strengthening the relationship between the marketing mix and buying interest was not consistently significant. These findings emphasize the importance of an integrated marketing strategy that not only leverages the popularity of brand ambassadors but also optimizes all elements of the marketing mix in a way that is appealing, educational, and aligned with contemporary consumer needs.

Abstract

The scarcity of chemical fertilizers has led to an increase in fertilizer prices, so farmers are reluctant to use chemical fertilizers that are too expensive and switch to using organic fertilizers. The application of organic fertilizers is not as a substitute for inorganic fertilizers but as a complement, so that in conventional cultivation organic fertilizers should be used in an integrated manner with inorganic fertilizers to increase soil and plant productivity in a sustainable manner. The purpose of this study was to analyze the decision of the use of organic fertilizers, inorganic fertilizers, and mixtures in rice farming in Sei Bamban Kiri village, Sei Bamban district, Serdang Bedagai Regency. Determination of the research area is done purposively. The sample size is determined by the Slovin method, which is as many as 90 respondents. The method of analysis to analyze the decision of farmers in purchasing the type of fertilizer used is multinomial logistic regression. The results showed that the age and number of family members have a big role in improving the decision of farmers to use fully organic fertilizer. Education Level, age, land area, and having a side job have a big influence in improving farmers ' decisions to use inorganic fertilizers. The level of Education, number of family members, land area, and care for the ecosystem have a big role in improving farmers ' decisions to use mixed fertilizers.

Abstract

This study investigates the socioeconomic dynamics of food price volatility and its asymmetric impacts on regional inflation across Java and Sumatra, Indonesia’s two most economically influential islands. The research aims to analyze the short- and long-term effects of food commodity price fluctuations on regional inflation, compare the structure and magnitude of price transmission mechanisms between the two regions, and identify key commodities that drive inflation disparities. Using a quantitative explanatory approach integrated with sociological interpretation, monthly time-series data from 2020 to 2024 across six provinces are analyzed through ADF stationarity tests, VAR/VECM models, Granger causality, impulse response functions, and variance decomposition, complemented by sociological indicators such as logistics index, GRDP per capita, and household food expenditure ratio. The findings show that short-term inflationary pressures stem mainly from price shocks in red chili, shallots, and cooking oil, while long-term persistence is driven by dependence on rice, beef, and chili. Inflation in Java is largely demand-driven, whereas Sumatra’s inflation reflects supply-side constraints and weak market integration. The study’s novelty lies in combining macroeconomic modeling with regional sociological analysis, offering a socioeconomic inflation dynamics framework that reframes inflation as a socially embedded process. The research advances economic sociology by linking inflation behavior with social structure, regional inequality, and policy responsiveness.
