Abstract

Settlements are one of the fundamental necessities of life. The functions of settlements go far beyond just providing a place for rest and shelter. Settlements serve as spaces where social interactions occur, relationships between individuals and groups develop, and community identities are formed. Ngagelrejo is located in the densely populated Wonokromo district of Surabaya, and despite its high population density, it is an area that is in great demand for residential purposes. When considering land ownership status, the entire area consists of land without citizen ownership titles, commonly referred to as "surat ijo" or green certificates. The purpose of this research is to understand the reasons why people choose to reside in densely populated areas. The research methodology employed is a qualitative phenomenological approach. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation. Triangulation and in-depth interviews were conducted to ensure the validity of the data. The results of the study indicate that the choice of living in a densely populated area is primarily influenced by strong family and friendship bonds. The location of the residence is relatively close to workplaces, providing convenience and compatibility with the surroundings. Additionally, the price of land in this area is lower compared to other areas in the city of Surabaya.

Abstract

The Development from the Edge approach undertaken by the Jokowi administration has significantly impacted the East side of Indonesia's border with Papua New Guinea. While physical improvements and infrastructure development have brought positive changes, they also impacted socio-cultural aspects and created land ownership and usage issues. Transmigration programs applied in this area add complexity, mainly due to the unequal advantages that different communities receive. Understanding these problems is crucial for managing them effectively and guiding the area's development process. This study focuses on Muara Tami District in Jayapura, which has a distinct population and development compared to other areas. This study uses library research, interviews, and the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method to identify the most significant encountered problems, their causes, and alternative solutions that require immediate implementation. Field observations and secondary data support the analysis, and interviews with stakeholders from various government agencies provide multiple perspectives. The study finds that the transmigration program has more direct and positive impacts on the area than recent national strategic projects. Poor infrastructure services remain a significant issue, while the human resources capabilities aspect becomes a determining factor that helps or hampers better area development. The interviewees also prioritised collaboration among all involved actors to address these issues.

Abstract

Apart from its adverse impact on biodiversity in an ecosystem, the presence of Invasive Alien Species (IAS) can be a blessing in disguise for local communities. Its daily utilization, including for traditional medicine needs, is a crucial factor in how the existence of Invasive Alien Species can be a game changer for the local community. This research took place in a national park, Bromo-Tengger-Semeru, Indonesia, and focuses on an enclave village inhabited by the indigenous Tengger people. It aimed to evaluate how the presence of Invasive Alien Species, specifically fennel (Foeniculum vulgare) and slimmer weed or kirinyuh (Chromolaena odorata), has adverse impacts on the natural environment but potentially has positive impacts on the community’s socio-economy. The research was conducted through a literature study referring to a semi-structural literature review based on the Scopus database and descriptive analysis based on the interviews with various key informants, which included the national park management, local government at the village and sub-district levels, NGO representatives, and community group who understand and directly utilize IAS plants. The results showed that based on the literature review, research on IAS, especially Fennel and slam weed, is still very limited. Those two species have embedded connections with the locals. In addition to its economic potential, utilizing IAS plants for traditional medicine and ritual completeness for local communities is a critical factor that makes its existence need to be better managed. At this point, a more integrative alternative management of the area was proposed as the way forward.
