Abstract

This article examines the crisis of social solidarity in meritocratic societies, which is driven by increasing social inequality and individualism. While meritocracy ideally ensures equal opportunities for all individuals, in practice, it often deepens social disparities and weakens communal bonds. This study aims to explore how the revitalization of social solidarity can serve as a solution to the fragmentation caused by meritocratic systems. Using a theoretical approach based on communitarianism, this article analyzes various strategies to strengthen social ties, such as community engagement, social capital development, and inclusive policy reforms. The findings indicate that social solidarity can be restored through active participation in community activities, increased involvement in broader social networks, and the implementation of policies that balance individual achievements with collective interests. Thus, revitalizing social solidarity is not only essential in addressing the negative impacts of meritocracy but also in fostering a more just and inclusive society.

Abstract

Background This study examines the imbalance between emergency response funding and long-term recovery financing following the 2024 eruption of Mount Lewotobi Laki-Laki in East Flores. The research aims to determine whether the global pattern, marked by rapid and substantial funding during the response phase and a sharp decline during recovery, also appears in this local context. Methods A qualitative approach was employed by combining a systematic review of disaster-financing literature in Asia with empirical data from East Flores. Data were collected through document analysis, official reports, and in-depth interviews with humanitarian practitioners and local authorities. Thematic coding was used to analyze patterns in funding flows, institutional constraints, and community experiences. Results Findings reveal a structural gap between response and recovery funding. Support during the emergency phase was abundant, while recovery efforts faced limited and inconsistent financial resources. This shortfall contributed to delays in permanent housing, unclear relocation processes, disrupted education services, loss of livelihoods, and heightened social and psychological stress among affected communities. Conclusions The study highlights the need for long-term recovery funding schemes, stronger coordination mechanisms, and greater community involvement in recovery planning. These insights underscore the importance of improving disaster-recovery governance in low-fiscal island regions such as Eastern Indonesia.

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.

Abstract

Baumata Barat Village holds significant potential as a buffer zone for regional food security through the production of laying hen eggs by the Ora et Labora Farmer Group. However, high feed costs, due to the underutilization of locally available resources, remain a major constraint. This community engagement program aimed to enhance the capacity of the farmer group by promoting the use of locally sourced feed ingredients such as maize. A Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach was employed, encompassing the stages of preparation, socialization, training, technology application, mentoring, and evaluation. The training focused on the formulation of alternative feed using local maize, wheat bran, commercial concentrate, and limestone flour. Program evaluation was conducted using pre- and post-tests to assess changes in knowledge, skills, motivation, and participant satisfaction. Results indicated substantial improvements in knowledge (49.28%), skills (45.25%), motivation (59.48%), and satisfaction (15.37%). These findings demonstrate the effectiveness of the participatory approach in transferring knowledge, enhancing practical competencies, and boosting participant engagement. This program is expected to make a sustainable contribution to food security by strengthening the capacity of local farmers to produce laying hen eggs at lower costs. The utilization of local resources such as maize as an alternative feed ingredient not only reduces dependency on commercial feed but also fosters self-reliance and sustainability in poultry farming in Baumata Barat Village. With the improvement of farmers’ knowledge, skills, motivation, and satisfaction, the productivity and stability of egg production are anticipated to increase, thereby reinforcing the village’s role as a buffer zone for regional food security. Desa Baumata Barat memiliki potensi besar sebagai desa penyangga ketahanan pangan melalui produksi telur ayam ras oleh Kelompok Peternak Ayam Petelur Ora et Labora. Namun, tingginya biaya pakan akibat belum optimalnya pemanfaatan sumber daya lokal menjadi hambatan utama. Kegiatan pengabdian ini bertujuan meningkatkan kapasitas kelompok peternak dalam memanfaatkan potensi lokal seperti jagung untuk pakan alternatif ayam petelur jenis Isa Brown. Metode yang digunakan adalah Participatory Action Research (PAR), meliputi tahapan persiapan, sosialisasi, pelatihan, penerapan teknologi, pendampingan, dan evaluasi. Pelatihan difokuskan pada pembuatan ransum berbahan jagung lokal, dedak gandum, konsentrat, dan tepung kapur. Evaluasi dilakukan dengan pre-test dan post-test untuk mengukur perubahan pada empat aspek: pengetahuan, keterampilan, motivasi, dan kepuasan mitra. Hasil menunjukkan peningkatan signifikan pada pengetahuan (49,28%), keterampilan (45,25%), motivasi (59,48%), dan kepuasan mitra (15,37%). Temuan ini menunjukkan bahwa pelatihan berbasis potensi lokal dengan pendekatan partisipatif efektif dalam meningkatkan kapasitas kelompok serta mendukung keberlanjutan usaha peternakan. Kegiatan ini berpotensi memberikan kontribusi berkelanjutan bagi ketahanan pangan melalui penguatan kapasitas peternak lokal dalam memproduksi telur ayam ras dengan biaya lebih efisien. Pemanfaatan sumber daya lokal seperti jagung sebagai bahan baku pakan alternatif tidak hanya menurunkan ketergantungan terhadap pakan komersial, tetapi juga mendorong kemandirian dan keberlanjutan usaha peternakan di Desa Baumata Barat. Dengan meningkatnya pengetahuan, keterampilan, motivasi, dan kepuasan peternak, diharapkan terjadi peningkatan produktivitas dan stabilitas produksi telur, yang pada gilirannya memperkuat peran desa sebagai penyangga ketahanan pangan regional.

Abstract

This study explains why formally established collaborative arrangements produce limited effectiveness in local revenue mobilization, with specific attention to regional levy administration in Sikka Regency, Indonesia. Rather than treating leakage as a narrow technical or accounting problem, the article conceptualizes it as a governance problem generated through shallow collaboration among interdependent public organizations and affected stakeholders. The study employs a qualitative case study design based on in-depth interviews, observation, and document analysis involving government agencies, field collectors, regulated actors, compliant and non-compliant levy payers, community beneficiaries, civil society organizations, and media actors. Guided by the collaborative governance framework of principled engagement, shared motivation, and capacity for joint action, the analysis shows that collaboration exists procedurally but remains weak in substance. Principled engagement is constrained by narrow problem discovery, fragmented knowledge sharing, weak data-based deliberation, and limited collective determination. Shared motivation is weakened by inter-agency distrust, contested legitimacy, weak fiscal transparency, and uneven commitment to collective revenue goals. Capacity for joint action is undermined by hesitant leadership, thin institutional arrangements, non-integrated databases, weak monitoring routines, and limited administrative and digital support. The article advances the concept of shallow collaboration to describe a condition in which meetings, coordination language, and formal mandates are present, yet collective problem solving, relational commitment, and operational follow-through remain insufficient. The study contributes to collaborative governance and fiscal governance scholarship by showing how information fragmentation and relational weakness become mechanisms through which local revenue leakage is reproduced in decentralized settings. Its findings caution against assuming that formal coordination is equivalent to collaborative capacity and demonstrate why subnational revenue mobilization requires both institutionalized data integration and relationally credible governance.
