Abstract

The development of mangrove forest tourism in Langsa City requires cooperation from various stakeholders. The phenomenon of tourist destinations in the era of globalization continues to grow and advance, giving rise to creative and innovative ideas that make these tourist attractions unique and attractive to visitors. This study investigates the cooperative initiatives in the management and promotion of mangrove forest ecotourism in Langsa City, Aceh. This study seeks to clarify how stakeholder collaboration might promote the growth and improvement of mangrove forest ecotourism. The collaboration among institutions is the principal strength in the progression of ecotourism, where support from all stakeholders is essential for the development process to proceed as expected. This study utilizes a qualitative technique, including data collection methods like observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The research findings indicate that collaboration among various stakeholders, including the mangrove forest manager PT. PEKOLA (a regional enterprise), the local government (particularly the Youth, Sports, and Tourism Office), universities, customary institutions (such as village heads and the Aceh Customary Council), and banking, has been successfully established. Each stakeholder is essential in the governance and development of mangrove ecotourism, whether as policymakers, implementers, or advocates for mangrove forest conservation.

Abstract

Tulisan ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengetahuan lokal yang dimiliki masyarakat nelayan dalam menjaga keamanan lingkungan khususnya populasi lobster. Dalam tulisan ini difokuskan dengan memotret praktik-praktik yang dilakukan oleh masyarakat nelayan dalam melindungi keberadaan benih bening lobster (puerulus). Argumen utama dalam penelitian ini adalah dengan pengetahuan lokal yang dimiliki oleh masyarakat nelayan menciptakan ekosistem bening lobster yang berkelanjutan. Penelitian ini merupakan kajian kualitatif dengan menggunakan teori Ekologi Budaya dari Julian H. Steward. Teori ini menjelaskan bahwa interaksi manusia dengan lingkungan menciptakan pengetahuan lokal sehingga menjalin hubungan mutualisme diantara keduanya. Data penelitian terdiri dari data primer yang dikumpulkan melalui wawancara mendalam dengan pemerintah, lembaga adat, nelayan, dan pelaku usaha lobster sedangkan data sekunder dikumpulkan melalui jurnal ilmiah dan media massa online. Hasil penelitian menemukan bahwa ada beberapa praktik pengetahuan lokal yang berdampak dalam pelestarian bening lobster yaitu penangkapan bening lobster merupakan kegiatan degradasi progresif terhadap lobster, penjualan bening lobster tidak memiliki nilai instrinsik, pertumbuhan bening lobster lebih baik di alam daripada dipenangkaran, dan penggunaan alat tangkap tradisional dalam menangkap lobster.

Abstract

This study aims to determine how a country's abundant natural resource wealth can be utilised to bolster its economy and alleviate poverty. This study focuses on the use of natural resources to expedite development. This investigation makes use of a library-based qualitative research strategy. Data was gathered by conducting a Scopus search for natural resources-related journal articles using titles, keywords, and abstracts as metadata search references, and then analysing the results with the VOSviewer tool. We used VOSviewer to determine how many articles had been published on natural resources and discovered that a country's natural resources exceed its economic development. The purpose of utilising VOSviewer is to use it as a resource to conduct precise content analysis based on the researcher's name, publication year, researcher productivity, and natural resource research trends. This analysis was conducted for the purpose of examining the author's collaboration in the natural resources and poverty fields. The results indicate that natural resource-rich regions do not guarantee increased economic growth or reductions in poverty. Poverty in Indonesia is a complex issue, despite the fact that a number of developing nations have been successful in implementing improvements in national production and income and in reflecting the level of well-being among the country's population. The conclusion demonstrates that the resource curse in Indonesia is a result of poor resource management, which causes poverty. The influence of the resource curse on government social spending emphasises the significance of government accountability and transparency in relation to natural resource wealth.

Abstract

The dependence of PKH and low financial literacy have led to weak economic independence and food security among low-income families. This study aims to develop a Sustainable Livelihood Frameework (SLF)-based financial literacy model to improve household financial management, encourage productive behavior, and enhance sustainable household food security. The research method used a qualitative approach through in-depth interviews, which were then analyzed through NVivo thematic coding. The research results show a duality: some families have succeeded in escaping poverty, while others remain dependent on the PKH. This is based on findings in the SLF Analysis related to financial literacy, which shows that PKH recipients still face context, conditions, and trends of inflation and social stigma. Meanwhile, livelihood resources are still weak and are utilized in a limited manner. Institutional processes and organizational structures are still not optimal in terms of multisectoral coordination. However, in terms of livelihood strategies, recipients are divided into groups with passive consumption patterns and active diversification through small businesses or agriculture. These conditions present highly varied livelihood outcomes, with some experiencing economic recovery, improved welfare, and human resource quality, while others are trapped in financial dependence and consumptive lifestyles. This study confirms that PKH policy formulation needs to prioritize sustainability, which can be achieved through the integration of financial literacy, consistent institutional support, and cross-sector collaboration.
