Abstract

This study explores a tourism village-based community empowerment model in Karangpatihan, a village with a significant population of people with intellectual disabilities, aiming to improve their economic and social welfare. Using an intrinsic case study approach with qualitative methods, informants were purposively selected, including the village head, Rumah Harapan managers, active programme participants, and their families. Data was collected through interviews, observation, and documentation, then analysed using Huberman's interactive model. The programme’s training in batik ciprat, handicraft making, and tourism management significantly improved outcomes. Participants’ income increased by 30%-40%, supported by sales of crafts and tourism roles. Socially, stigma against disabilities lessened as participants engaged in guiding tours and ticket management. Challenges included limited digital marketing innovation, insufficient training continuity, and low initial motivation. Recommendations include enhancing digital marketing through social media training, e-commerce platforms, and diversifying local products. This model demonstrates strong potential for replication as an inclusive and sustainable rural development strategy.

Abstract

This study reports on a community engagement program aimed at strengthening the role of Village-Owned Enterprises (BUMDes) in empowering communities in the village. The program employed a participatory and action-oriented approach involving 25 participants, including village officials, BUMDes managers, and community members. The program was conducted over three months through four main stages: initial assessment, program design, implementation (training, workshops, and mentoring), and evaluation. Initial findings revealed several key constraints, including the absence of standard operating procedures (SOPs), limited managerial capacity (only 2 of 8 managers were able to prepare basic financial records), low community participation (fewer than 10 active participants), and stagnant business activities. Following the intervention, measurable improvements were observed. A basic SOP document was developed, 7 of 8 managers were able to prepare simple financial reports, a draft business plan was produced, and community participation increased to approximately 18–20 people. In addition, two new potential business ideas were identified, and improvements were noted in the management of existing business units. This study suggests that effective BUMDes development should prioritize simple governance mechanisms, applied capacity building, and inclusive community engagement. Insights from this program provide practical implications for village governments and policy makers in improving community-based economic institutions.

Abstract

Early Childhood Education (ECE) has been widely recognized as a fundamental pillar in achieving sustainable human development, particularly within the framework of Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG 4), which emphasizes inclusive and equitable quality education for all. Despite the growing number of scholarly publications in this field, a comprehensive understanding of research trends, thematic evolution, and global collaboration patterns remains limited. This study aims to map the development of ECE research in supporting SDG 4 through a bibliometric analysis of publications indexed in the Scopus database from 2015 to 2025. A total of 661 articles and review papers were selected based on predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data were analyzed using Biblioshiny (Bibliometrix R-package) and VOSviewer to examine publication trends, thematic structures, core journals, and international collaborations. The findings reveal that research in ECE is dominated by well-established themes such as “early childhood education” and “human development,” which function as motor themes with high centrality and density. Core journals play a significant role in shaping the intellectual structure of the field, reflecting a concentration of knowledge dissemination. However, the results also indicate a lack of emerging and innovative themes, particularly in areas such as digital integration, inclusive education, and community-based approaches. Furthermore, global research collaboration is largely dominated by developed countries, especially the United States, Australia, and the United Kingdom, while contributions from developing countries remain limited. This study highlights the need for greater diversification of research themes and more inclusive global collaboration to strengthen the contribution of ECE research toward achieving SDG 4. The findings provide valuable insights for researchers, policymakers, and practitioners in identifying research gaps and future directions in early childhood education.

Abstract

This study examines the management strategy of BUMDes Binangun Sendang Artha in supporting local economic development in Sendangsari Village, Pengasih District, Kulon Progo Regency, Indonesia. The research employed a qualitative approach using a single case study design to explore institutional governance, community participation, business development, and supporting and inhibiting factors in BUMDes management. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation involving BUMDes administrators, village government officials, and community members. The findings show that BUMDes plays an important role in strengthening the local economy through microfinance services, particularly savings and loan activities that support microenterprises and productive community businesses. The success of BUMDes is influenced by strong social trust, active community participation, and support from the village government. However, several challenges remain, including limited human resource capacity, low business innovation, limited diversification of business units, and weak digital literacy. The study identifies institutional strengthening, business innovation, and cross-sector partnerships as key strategies for improving BUMDes sustainability and competitiveness. This research highlights the importance of community-based economic institutions in promoting inclusive and sustainable rural development.
