Abstract

The environment is a place where people live while providing various possibilities to meet their needs. Humans are connected to nature through culture by a system of symbols, meanings, and values. The problematic relation between humans and the environment currently known as “hybrid complexity” involves another analytical tradition such as political economy, symbolic anthropology, and historical anthropology. Political ecology as a study with a transdisciplinary perspective try to gain an explanation about the relationship between humans and the environment not in a static and harmonious fabricate, but in chaotic (noisy and complicated) interconnections. The basic assumption of the study of political ecology is the issue of inequality: the existence of asymmetric forces that produce socio-economic inequality, and these problems are present in the relation between human life and the environment. Humans relate to the environment through a diverse network of interests at various levels and multi-capacities. The scale is one of the important concepts that deserve scrutiny in order to understand the workings of the political ecology approach. The scale is the “heuristic terminology” of culture. Humans are the main element of the scale that connects culture to its reality and as a feature of culture itself. Thus, the scale can be understood as a cultural attribution of the unit of explanation which includes the size, level, and relations of events and actions that mediate human relations and the environment of natural phenomena and socio-cultural phenomena. Keywords:Scale, Cultural Attribution, Anthropology, and Political Ecology.

Abstract

This research is entitled “Community Empowerment Through Soft-Shell Crab Farming as an Effort to Improve the Economy and Welfare (A Case Study of the Sumber Rezeki and Bangka Pulo Groups in Alur Nunang Village, Banda Mulia Subdistrict, Aceh Tamiang Regency).” The study aims to understand the empowerment process carried out by the Sumber Rezeki and Bangka Pulo groups, as well as how soft-shell crab farming contributes to improving the economy and welfare of coastal communities. This study employs a qualitative descriptive method. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation involving key informants, main informants, and additional informants. Data analysis consisted of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings show that the community empowerment process was implemented through several stages: potential identification, alternative assessment, socialization and group formation, training and knowledge transfer, collective implementation of farming activities, and institutional strengthening and evaluation. This empowerment process has successfully increased household income, expanded employment opportunities, and strengthened social solidarity among group members. The success of the program was supported by social network cooperation, assistance from the NGO KEMPRA, and the sustainable use of local ecological resources. Therefore, community empowerment through soft-shell crab farming has proven not only to improve the economic condition of coastal communities but also to build independence and ecological awareness that support socio-economic sustainability in Alur Nunang Village.

Abstract

Smart governance has become a primary instrument for governments to enhance efficiency and effectiveness in public service delivery. However, the rapid migration of public services to digital platforms carries a risk of excluding vulnerable groups, including the elderly, persons with disabilities, marginalized women, the poor, and communities living in remote areas. This article aims to analyze the development of smart governance in public services, identify challenges faced by vulnerable groups in accessing digital services, and formulate strategies to strengthen inclusive smart governance. Employing a systematic literature review approach, this study synthesizes findings from academic articles, policy documents, and international organization reports published between 2018 and 2025. The analysis reveals a fundamental paradox: while digital transformation of governance has improved service efficiency for those with adequate digital access and literacy, it simultaneously creates new barriers for vulnerable groups. Three main challenges are identified: limited digital infrastructure access, low digital literacy, and service design that has not fully adopted universal accessibility principles. Digital exclusion not only harms social justice but also threatens the legitimacy of democratic governance and accelerates existing social inequalities. This article proposes a multidimensional strategy comprising equitable infrastructure expansion, universal design implementation, community-based digital literacy programs, participatory co-production mechanisms, responsible data governance, and ongoing inclusive impact evaluations. This article contributes to the development of digital governance that is not solely oriented toward technological efficiency but also toward social justice and inclusive public services.
