Abstract

Poor economic condition, unemployement, quality education and lack of other basic infrastructures are the common problems of rurals in Indonesia and in many other countries. The rural potentials have not been optimally explored, hence a place to birth it becomes instead of to live. The government has actually tried several programs for rural economic development, for example by providing more facilities and infrastructure, even creating project PNPM (Program Nasional Pemberdayaan Masyarakat/National Program for Community Empowerment). However, the implementation and effect of these programs have been put into question. In Indonesia, this economic institution is BUMDes (Badan Usaha Milik Desa/ Village Owned Enterprise), the pillars of rural economic activity, serves as a social and commercial institution. This paper aims to explain how to strengthen the role of village owned enterprise for its role in rural development. Using qualitative approach, this study indicates that village owned enterprise is projected to be new economic strength in rural development in Indonesia and that the rural government can improve the role of village owned enterprise not only as a government’s fund mediator but also as a facilitator to promote the rural economic activity properly through value addition. The paper aims to generate new insight of the role of village owned enterprise in Indonesia and its consequence to rural development.

Abstract

In response to the escalating global environmental crisis, China has initiated "Ecological Civilization," a distinctive state-led approach to environmental sustainability and harmonious development. Rooted in Marxist ecological thought and traditional Chinese philosophies emphasizing human-nature harmony, this initiative diverges from Western models and is enshrined in China's constitution and national policies. This essay provides an expert-level analysis of Ecological Civilization, examining its core principles, theoretical foundations (including Taoist and Confucian influences and modern sustainability concepts), and implementation within China. It assesses both successes—such as large-scale afforestation (e.g., Three-North Shelter Forest Program, Grain to Green Program), biodiversity conservation through protected areas and Ecological Conservation Redlines, and advancements in green energy transition —and failures, including persistent pollution, enforcement challenges, and socio-ecological impacts of large infrastructure projects. The analysis explores the strong synergies between Ecological Civilization and the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 7 (Energy), SDG 11 (Cities), SDG 13 (Climate Action), SDG 15 (Life on Land), and SDG 12 (Sustainable Consumption). Considering the sustainability efforts and unique challenges faced by Global South countries, this essay distills valuable insights from China's experience. Key lessons highlight the importance of strong state leadership, quantitative targets, large-scale ecological restoration, and green technology innovation, while emphasizing the crucial need for context-specific adaptation, stakeholder engagement, and equitable strategies for the Global South
