Abstract

Tourism development in Berau Regency, East Kalimantan, plays a strategic role in driving post-extractive economic transformation by fostering marine and nature tourism. However, pressure on environmental carrying capacity, inequality in economic benefits, limited infrastructure and technology, and disparities in community social capacity pose serious challenges to the sustainability of regional tourism. This study aims to comprehensively analyze the sustainability level of Berau Regency's tourism development through a Multi-aspect Sustainability Analysis (MSA) approach that encompasses ecological, economic, infrastructure, and technology, and social aspects. The study used a quantitative-descriptive approach with 30 expert respondents selected through purposive sampling, including government officials, academics, tourism practitioners, and community representatives. The analysis was conducted using the Exsimpro tool to calculate the sustainability index, determine sustainability status, identify leverage factors, and simulate future conditions (leveraged condition). The results indicate that, in general, Berau Regency's tourism development falls into the less sustainable to borderline sustainable status category for all aspects studied. Ecological, infrastructure, and technology, and social aspects are at the limits of sustainability, while economic aspects show the greatest potential for improvement and are most responsive to strategic interventions. Key levers include environmental carrying capacity, tourism's economic contribution and growth, transportation accessibility, and human resource capacity and community empowerment. These findings underscore the need for an integrated, adaptive, and priority-based cross-sectoral tourism management strategy to drive the transformation toward competitive, inclusive, and sustainable tourism

Abstract

This study evaluates the sustainability status of the agricultural sector in Berau Regency, East Kalimantan, using a Multiaspect Sustainability Analysis (MSA) approach supported by EXSIMPRO software. The assessment focuses on three main dimensions: economic, institutional, and technological sustainability. Primary data were obtained from 30 key stakeholders, including farmers, extension officers, cooperatives, and local government representatives, and were complemented by secondary data from official sources. The results show that the economic sustainability index is 42.86%, indicating a low level of sustainability, mainly due to low productivity, fluctuating Farmer Exchange Rates (NTP), and limited market access. The institutional dimension records a borderline sustainability status of approximately 50%, reflecting weak farmer organizations, limited extension intensity, and insufficient regulatory support. The technological dimension performs relatively better, with a sustainability index of 65.8%, driven by partial adoption of agricultural machinery, superior seeds, and basic digital technologies. Leverage sensitivity analysis reveals an equal leverage value of 0.5 across all dimensions, indicating strong interdependence and the need for simultaneous, integrated interventions. Scenario simulations suggest that targeted policies could increase the economic sustainability index to 50% and the technological index to 87.5%. Key structural constraints include long marketing chains, inadequate irrigation, land conversion, labor shortages, and low digital literacy. The study concludes that integrated interventions focusing on technology adoption, institutional strengthening, and market access improvement are essential to enhance the overall sustainability of Berau Regency’s agricultural sector.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the utilization of Community Forestry, the role of farmers group, and the perceptions of livestock farmers who are members of “HKm Ulusena” Farmers Group regarding the utilization of the Ulusena Community Forest. This study was conducted from November 2024 to July 2025 in Ulusena Village, Moramo District, South Konawe Regency, Southeast Sulawesi Province. This study was conducted using a qualitative approach. The determination of informants was carried out using a non-probability sampling method with purposive sampling and snowball sampling techniques. Data sources in this study used primary and secondary data. Data collection was obtained through observation, interviews, and documentation. The data analysis process used the Miles and Huberman method, namely data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The utilization of the Ulusena Community Forest is divided into three categories: land use, utilization and collection of non-timber forest products (NTFPs), and utilization of environmental services. Livestock serves as a secondary source of income for livestock farmers, members of the Ulusena Community Forest Farmer Group. Utilization in livestock involves the use of forest areas as land for growing green fodder. “HKm Ulusena” Farmers Group has not been actively operating, so a new group management structure was formed. The new management structure periodically carries out a process of increasing the capacity of regional, institutional, and business management to foster group synergy by reactivating group activities. Farmers' perceptions of the use of the Ulusena Community Forest tend to be positive. Positive impacts of the Ulusena Community Forest utilization include obtaining permits for non-timber forest product (NTFP) management, obtaining economic resources from NTFPs, and obtaining resources to support the livestock sector.

Abstract

Lung Anai Village, located in the mining buffer zone of Kutai Kartanegara Regency, experiences complex livelihood dynamics due to coal mining activities affecting economic, social, and environmental dimensions. This condition highlights the need for a development approach that emphasizes sustainable livelihoods beyond economic growth. This community service program aims to strengthen community capacity using the Sustainable Livelihood Approach (SLA). A participatory, community-based method was applied through three stages: initial assessment, program implementation, and evaluation. The results show that social, physical, and financial capital are relatively strong, while human and natural capital remain lower, indicating structural imbalance. Community perception improved significantly from 37% positive responses in 2023 to 100% in 2024, reflecting increased trust. The Social License to Operate (SLO) index reached 77.2%, indicating strong social acceptance. The program enhanced participation, strengthened institutions, improved economic access, and promoted sustainable livelihoods. The SLA approach proved effective and replicable for empowering mining-affected rural communities.

Abstract

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Indonesia play a vital role in the country's economy. Still, they face various challenges, including limited resources, low managerial capabilities, and a lack of access to modern technology. The triple helix approach, which involves academics, business actors, and the government, can be a solution to increase the innovation and competitiveness of MSMEs. This research examines the synergy of the triple helix in developing MSMEs, with a case study of the MSME "MUZA" in Blitar Regency, which produces smoked salted eggs as an innovative product from traditional products. The research method employed is a descriptive exploratory approach, collecting data through in-depth interviews and questionnaires. The research results indicate that, despite training and support from academics and the government, the involvement of MSMEs in implementing training still needs improvement. There are challenges in coordination between related parties which hinder the effectiveness of empowerment. This research highlights the importance of fostering further synergy among academics, the Government, and MSMEs to create an ecosystem that supports the development of more sustainable and competitive MSMEs in both domestic and international markets.
