Abstract

Insana Barat Subdistrict is an area in North Central Timor Regency which is vulnerable to the dry season every year and experiences a water deficit. To reduce the risk of drought, community preparedness needs to be improved through the provision of water to deal with drought. Several efforts have been made by the government and the community to cope with drought, including the construction of dams, distribution of clean water fiber, and the existence of cropping patterns in agriculture. This study aims to determine the capacity of the people of Insana Barat  District in dealing with drought. The role of the community becomes very important because in fact the community and local organizations are the key in disaster risk reduction initiatives. The method used in this research is quantitative with a survey in Insana Barat  District with 335 respondents spread over each village. Determination of respondents in this study was done randomly. The analysis technique used is scoring and capacity calculation using the asset pentagon on the variables of human assets, social assets, natural assets, physical assets and financial/financial assets. The results showed that the people in Usapinonot Village, Unini Village, Letneo Village, Banae Village, Nifunenas Village, Subun Tualele Village, Subun Bestobe Village belonged to low capacity, Subun Village, Lapeom Village, Atmen Village and South Letneo Village were classified as medium capacity. and Oabikasi Village is included in the high classification.

Abstract

The success of waste management cannot be separated from the community's participation. The community's involvement in waste management is still not significantly apparent. Community participation in rural waste management program was investigated in this study since the waste reduction activities still involve waste open burning and burying in the yard which is harmful for the environment. A research model was designed, and a questionnaire was distributed among 112 households (HHs) to analyze their participation in rural waste management programs. A semi-structured questionnaire survey, focus group discussions, and key informant interviews were adopted to acquire qualitative information. The analytical framework includes mass balance analysis (MBA) and Arnstein’s participation (APL) ladder. MBA was applied to measure the current waste reduction rate of each HH, while APL was used to evaluate community participation level in this program. The findings reveal that the average waste reduction is 0.48 kg/HH/day, contributing to a total waste reduction of 17.94 kg/day in the village (24.39% of total waste generation). Measurement using APL unfolds that the extant community participation in Mojosari Village, Bojonegoro Regency, corresponds to a non-participation continuum where villagers are misled by pseudo and tokenistic participation leading to unequal benefit-sharing. Based on these findings, the researchers challenge that communities’ engagement in rural waste management mainly relies on community cadres concerning environmental subjects as well as communities’ economic background. It is concluded where economically weak communities and manipulative figures exist, ensuring a higher community participation level is more challenging

Abstract

The success of waste management must be connected to the community's participation. The community's involvement in waste management still needs to be significantly apparent. Community participation in rural waste management programs was investigated in this study since the waste reduction activities still involve open burning and burying of waste in the yard, which is harmful to the environment. A research model was designed, and a questionnaire was distributed among 112 households (HHs) to analyze their participation in rural waste management programs. A semi-structured questionnaire survey, focus group discussions, and key informant interviews were adopted to acquire qualitative information. The analytical framework includes mass balance analysis (MBA) and Arnstein's participation (APL) ladder. MBA was applied to measure each HH's current waste reduction rate, while (APL) was used to evaluate the community participation level in this program. The findings revealed that the average waste reduction is 0,48 kg/HH/day, contributing to a total waste reduction of 17.94 kg/day in the village (24.39% of total waste generation). Measurement using APL unfolds that the extant community participation in Mojosari Village, Bojonegoro Regency, corresponds to a non-participation continuum where villagers are simply misled by pseudo and tokenistic participation, leading to unequal benefit-sharing.
