Abstract

This study explores the formation of actor networks in developing conservation areas, specifically focusing on the Benoa Bay conservation area in Bali from 2014 to 2019. This period marks the beginning and temporary cessation of reclamation development permits in the area, instigated by a Presidential Decree. The study examines how actor networks form through material negotiations, categorizing actors into pros (supporting reclamation) and cons (opposing reclamation). It employs the Actor Network Theory (ANT) framework, particularly the moments concept developed by Callon, to analyze these networks and negotiations. The research is qualitative, using case studies and field data collected through interviews with relevant stakeholders. The primary findings reveal that actors on both sides—pro and con—form networks based on the material narratives they promote. For the pros, the need for tourism space justifies reclamation, while the cons focus on conservation values upheld by the Balinese community. The reclamation issue acts as a moment of problematization, bringing these opposing material narratives into conflict within the conservation area. The study follows ANT’s stages from problematization to mobilization, highlighting how the conflicting material narratives of both pro and con actors interact and influence the network formation. Ultimately, the research illustrates the dynamics of actor networks in the context of reclamation, showing how material negotiations shape these networks and the contestation over spatial production in Benoa Bay networks.

Abstract

Nutmeg cultivation in Banda Neira integrally involves middlemen, brokers who connect nutmeg farmers with the global market. Studies of such middlemen tend to emphasise the negative effects of their relationship with farmers. However, some research on their positive impact has also been conducted. This study seeks to explain the positive effects of middlemen by describing the flexibility of the brokered system. This descriptive-qualitative research, using data sourced from a study of the literature as well as interviews with resource persons, finds that flexibility has been created with the support of a communal social system that has carefully been maintained by middlemen in the nutmeg distribution scheme and supply chain. In the nutmeg distribution scheme, farmers have the option to sell nutmeg to a private actor—PT Kamboti —, but this option is not accessible to all smallholders because of the company’s profit-oriented (market) logic. This study concludes that middlemen play a flexible role, one which is positively and highly related to the social context that they have helped create and maintain. These middlemen tend to present themselves as the brothers, or at least relatives, of the farmers. As these middlemen prioritise social approaches to increase social bonding, there is no resistance to their involvement in the nutmeg distribution scheme in Maluku.

Abstract

Collaborative Governance Berbasis Tri Hita Karana di Desa Sayan merupakan langkah strategis untuk mengatasi kompleksitas hubungan antara Desa Dinas dan Desa Adat Sayan. Program pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini bertujuan memperkuat tata kelola pemerintahan desa secara kolaboratif dengan berlandaskan prinsip Tri Hita Karana, yaitu Parahyangan (hubungan dengan Tuhan), Pawongan (hubungan antar manusia), dan Palemahan (hubungan dengan lingkungan). Melalui pendekatan andragogi, kegiatan ini dilaksanakan dengan metode ceramah dan diskusi partisipatif untuk meningkatkan pemahaman peserta mengenai konsep collaborative governance antara Desa Dinas dan Desa Adat. Peserta diberikan materi tentang tata kelola kolaboratif berbasis Tri Hita Karana serta kesempatan mendiskusikan isu-isu aktual yang dihadapi dalam sinergi kedua lembaga tersebut. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan bahwa kolaborasi antara Pemerintah Desa Dinas dan Desa Adat di Desa Sayan, Ubud, telah terwujud dalam beberapa aspek penting. Pertama, musyawarah bersama dilakukan untuk pengambilan keputusan strategis yang mengikat pemerintah dan masyarakat desa. Kedua, kerja sama diwujudkan dalam pengelolaan sumber daya alam dan keuangan desa. Ketiga, kolaborasi juga terjadi pada tahap perencanaan, pelaksanaan, dan pengawasan pembangunan desa. Adapun model governance yang diterapkan mencerminkan dua pendekatan: desentralistik pada Desa Dinas, di mana kewenangan pemerintah desa bersifat dominan, dan centripetal pada Desa Adat, di mana lembaga adat berperan sentral. Dengan demikian, implementasi Collaborative Governance berbasis Tri Hita Karana di Desa Sayan mampu meningkatkan efektivitas pemerintahan desa sekaligus mendorong pembangunan berkelanjutan.
