Abstract

Background: Floriculture, a specialized field within horticulture, focuses on the cultivation of ornamental plants such as cut flowers, potted plants, and garden plants. This study examines and compares the floriculture industries of India and Indonesia by analyzing production practices, export patterns, economic contributions, and the role of government policies. Methods: This article employs a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach, focusing on recent publications (2021-2024) from Google Scholar to explore floriculture trends in India and Indonesia. The literature selection follows the PRISMA guidelines, combining studies on production, exports, economic impact, and government policies to provide a comprehensive view of the floriculture sectors in both countries. Findings: India has made substantial progress in floriculture, particularly in cut flower exports, driven by supportive national programs such as the National Horticulture Mission (NHM) and the Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export Development Authority (APEDA). These initiatives have supported infrastructure development, market access, and technology upgradation, enabling India to strengthen its position in the global floriculture market. Indonesia, despite its enormous potential due to its biodiversity and tropical climate, faces challenges such as limited infrastructure and insufficient production to meet global demand. Conclusion: The findings highlight that increasing technological innovation, improving supply chain infrastructure, and implementing supportive policies are critical to unlocking the full potential of floriculture in both countries. For Indonesia, prioritizing infrastructure and market development is essential, while India can benefit from further innovation and expanded market access. Novelty/Originality of this article: The study underscores the importance of a strategic approach to capitalizing on global demand for ornamental plants, ensuring long-term growth and sustainability.

Abstract

Background: Happiness is a vital factor for well-being, and its measurement has become an important tool in assessing national prosperity. The United Nations' World Happiness Report ranks countries annually, and in 2024, Indonesia ranked 80th out of 143 countries. This study examines Indonesia's happiness index, focusing on the factors influencing happiness, such as life satisfaction, social support, and inequality, beyond just economic measures like GDP. Methods: The research used a descriptive qualitative method with a phenomenological approach. Data was gathered from the happiness index published by Indonesia's Central Statistics Agency, which includes nineteen indicators categorized into three dimensions: life satisfaction, feelings, and the meaning of life. These indicators were analyzed to determine their contribution to the national happiness index. Findings: The study found that happiness in Indonesia is influenced by more than just the nation's GDP. Factors such as education, health, poverty levels, the GINI index (income inequality), and social contributions like Zakat, Infaq, and Charity (ZIS) play significant roles. Higher levels of social support, as represented by ZIS, are linked to increased happiness, while income inequality, measured by the GINI index, can negatively impact happiness. Conclusion: The happiness index in Indonesia is shaped by a combination of economic, social, and health-related factors. While GDP is important, variables like education, health, and social support systems, including charitable activities, have a more direct impact on individual and collective happiness in Indonesia. Novelty/Originality of this Study: This study provides a deeper understanding of the multidimensional nature of happiness in Indonesia, highlighting the significance of social and economic factors beyond traditional measures such as GDP. It emphasizes the role of social support and the impact of inequality on happiness, offering insights into improving national well-being.

Abstract

Background: The application of philosophy in natural resource management provides a solid foundation for making wise and sustainable decisions. Forests are a source of livelihood for people, especially in developing countries including Indonesia. Policies that favor the fulfillment of human needs without damaging the environment are based on the philosophy of environmental ethics and sustainability. Each country has different policies in managing forest areas, including involving local communities. Methods: This article analyzes community-based forest area management implemented by a number of countries such as Indonesia, Thailand, Myanmar, Bangladesh, Canada, and Mexico. This article also examines the application of the concept of collaboration and a stronger role of the private sector in other countries. The in-depth analysis in this article uses literature and case studies from Indonesia, Thailand, Myanmar, and Bangladesh. Canada, the United States, and South Korea. Findings: The article's conclusion highlights that sustainable natural resource management hinges on applying philosophical principles, particularly environmental ethics and sustainability, to policy-making. It emphasizes that community involvement and robust governance are key to successful forest conservation efforts, as shown by various case studies and management models. Conclusion: Forest management is greatly influenced by the relationship between state capacity and social capital, in this case community participation. If the capacity of the state is weak, while social capital is weak, then the concept of community-based forest management can be carried out. Novelty/Originality: The rehabilitation of an area of 410 ha into rubber plantations managed by local residents has brought in new sources of income. From 2010 to 2017 the Gini coefficient of inequality decreased from 34.6% to 31.3%.
