Abstract

The implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for Villages in Indonesia since 2021 marks a significant change in the paradigm of village development. This policy is claimed to be an effort to accelerate sustainable development, but in practice, it constructs villages as objects of state control within the global development architecture. This research aims to examine how the Village SDGs operate within the power relations of the state, market, and village, and to evaluate their implications for the village's autonomy in determining its development direction. Using the Socio-Institutional Neoliberalism (SIN) approach by Toby Carroll, this research examines how village development policies are reproduced within the framework of global economic-political interests. This research uses qualitative methods with case studies in the Panggungharjo Village and Pandowoharjo Village, Yogyakarta. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and policy document analysis, and then analyzed using Yin's pattern matching technique. The research results indicate that the implementation of the Village SDGs is more oriented towards administration and compliance with global indicators rather than substantial village empowerment. The digitalization of village development not only complicates bureaucracy but also increases the village's dependence on central regulations, widens the technology access gap, and strengthens state and market control over the village. This research recommends a more democratic and participatory village development approach, allowing villages to implement development based on their local conditions. The reformulation of the Village SDGs policy must be oriented towards village independence, not merely administrative compliance with global targets.

Abstract

Urban Foraging (UF) has gained increasing attention in recent years as a means of engaging with nature in urban environments and as an adaptive strategy for urbanization and green space reduction. While research on UF has been conducted in Western countries, studies in Japan remain scarce. This study aims to analyze UF practices and their impact in Tokyo metropolitan area. Through interviews with UF practitioners and local government officials, as well as fieldwork in Tokyo and surrounding areas, this study reveals key patterns in UF engagement. Findings indicate that individuals who forage more frequently tend to collect a greater variety of resources, including plants, fungi, and even engage in hunting and fishing. Common foraging sites include rivers, parks, and vacant lots, with food being the primary motivation. Many practitioners have childhood foraging experiences, and social media and community networks serve as important sources of knowledge. Furthermore, UF appears to influence practitioners' perceptions of nature. From an administrative perspective, many municipalities prohibit foraging in parks, although some adopt a more flexible stance. The study highlights the emergence of ethical considerations and informal regulations among urban foragers. Through food consumption, practitioners develop a deeper awareness of their relationship with urban nature. This study suggests that UF could foster novel human-nature relationships and enhance urban green space utilization. However, further research is needed to examine gender, socioeconomic differences, homelessness, foreign urban foragers, commercial exploitation, and overforaging concerns.

Abstract

Alternative agriculture should not be narrowly defined as a chemical-free farming system that simply excludes prohibited inputs. Rather, it represents a comprehensive philosophical and ideological framework incorporating political and social dimensions. Both alternative and conventional agriculture are rooted in ideological orientations that reflect agriculture’s societal role. However, the farmers’ motivations for adopting specific practices extend beyond social or ideological factors. An examination of individual farmers’ lives and worldviews reveals that the meaning they derive from agricultural practices often transcends socioeconomic considerations. This paper employs Schutz's concept of the 'Lifeworld' to examine the underlying motivations and practices of natural farming. This study conducted interviews with five natural farming practitioners. First, it elucidated their perceptions of the reasons why agricultural practitioners refrain from using fertilizers. Subsequently, it revealed observational records of their off-farm activities and living environments to examine their relevance to agricultural practices. The results revealed that farmers adopt natural farming according to their lifeworlds, which are based on supra-scientific thought systems such as religion and spiritual cosmologies; that lifeworld dynamically coexists with the modern world within agricultural contexts; and that living spaces and off-farm leisure activities provide insights into the construction and expression of farmers' lifeworlds. In conclusion, analysing farmers' practices through their lifeworlds offers an approach to aligning their self-identity and self-realization with agricultural practices or rural lifestyles in modernised societies.

Abstract

For decades, smallholder farmers in the karst areas of Gunungkidul Regency, Yogyakarta, have endured precarious livelihoods shaped by environmental limitations. Scarce surface water, the absence of technical irrigation, rugged topography, and poor soil fertility present persistent challenges. Nevertheless, farmers continue to adapt using local knowledge systems—most notably Ngawu-awu, a practice rooted in the traditional Pranata mangsa agricultural calendar. Since the early 2000s, the intensifying climate crisis has further disrupted this ecological rhythm, forcing smallholders to rethink their livelihood strategies. This study examines how smallholder farmers navigate the changing climatic conditions while attempting to sustain Ngawu-awu practices. Three key aspects are explored: first, the use of Pranata mangsa to anticipate seasonal rainfall; second, the growing mismatch between this traditional calendar and the erratic patterns of the climate crisis; and third, the coping strategies employed by farmers amid this dissonance. Drawing on a case study approach, the research identifies four expressions of local knowledge: attentive reading of natural signs, collective experimentation and learning, intergenerational knowledge transmission, and communal resilience through reflective adaptation. These practices illustrate how cultural endurance and ecological sensitivity intersect in times of uncertainty.

Abstract

This study examines the inclusiveness of a program called Desa PRIMA (Perempuan Indonesia Maju Mandiri) or Women's Village Empowerment Program for Advanced Indonesian Women, which was developed by the Yogyakarta Special Region Government to alleviate poverty and promote gender equality. Specifically, it examines the extent to which the program effectively reaches vulnerable groups of women, including widows, individuals with disabilities, survivors of violence, and other marginalized communities. Employing a qualitative case study approach, this research explores the program’s implementation at Desa PRIMA’s Productive Economic Group (Kelompok Ekonomi Produktif – KEP), Amarta Sejahtera, located in Pandowoharjo Village, Sleman Regency, Yogyakarta. Data were collected through observations, in-depth interviews, and document analysis. Thematic analysis was employed to identify patterns in the program’s inclusiveness. The findings indicate that while the program has a positive impact on women’s collective enterprises by enhancing their confidence, facilitating knowledge-sharing, and providing social support. However, it still faces challenges in effectively reaching vulnerable women. Political interests emerge as a key barrier to the program’s effectiveness, increasing the risk of exclusion and restricting access to essential resources. The study concludes that women’s empowerment programs need to be redesigned to promote greater inclusivity and better align with the needs of their intended target groups. Such efforts are crucial in promoting equitable access to opportunities and resources, particularly for women in vulnerable groups.
