Abstract

This study explores the relationship between social capital and the empowerment of beef cattle farming groups in North Minahasa Regency, Indonesia. The main objective is to examine how elements of social capital—particularly trust, proactive behavior, and shared norms—contribute to empowerment indicators such as accountability, access to information, and organizational capacity. A quantitative cross-sectional research design was employed, using structured questionnaires distributed to 30 randomly selected members of active beef cattle farming groups. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Spearman Rank Correlation to measure relationships between social capital variables and empowerment indicators. Qualitative insights from interviews and observations were used to enrich and contextualize the quantitative findings. Results show that proactive action is strongly correlated with access to information (r = 0.854), trust is strongly linked to accountability (r = 0.837), and social norms are closely associated with group responsibility (r = 0.775). These findings suggest that internal social cohesion enhances governance, information-sharing, and collective performance. However, weaknesses in external networking and overdependence on informal structures may limit adaptability and long-term sustainability. The study proposes a three-part policy model: (1) trust-building mechanisms to enhance group accountability, (2) network enhancement strategies to strengthen external linkages, and (3) norm formalization to support internal governance. This model is tailored to the cultural and institutional context of North Minahasa and offers practical pathways for rural empowerment. This research contributes original insight by empirically linking specific social capital dimensions to empowerment in livestock systems, providing a contextualized framework that integrates socio-cultural dynamics with agricultural policy.

Abstract

This community service program examines the implementation of Law Number 35 of 2014 concerning Child Protection in efforts to prevent violence, neglect, and exploitation of children in target communities. Using empirical legal methods with a legislative, participatory, and case approach, this program aims to socialize child protection policies, identify barriers to implementation at the community level, and formulate joint action strategies to optimize prevention efforts. The results of the community service show that although the legal framework for child protection has been strengthened, its understanding and implementation in the community still face structural, substantial, and cultural challenges. Inhibiting factors include low legal literacy in the community, lack of understanding of reporting mechanisms, limited access to protection services in the regions, and socio-cultural norms that still legitimize violence as a form of discipline. Optimization strategies developed together with the community include the establishment of village-level child protection forums, training of child protection cadres, community-based education campaigns, utilization of technology for reporting systems, and development of special protocols for handling cases in disaster situations. A collaborative approach involving community leaders, schools, families, and children themselves is key to the sustainability of child violence prevention programs in the community.
