Abstract

The sugarcane based sugar industry is a source of income for sugarcane farmers and workers in the industry. However, farmers often complain about the high price and cost of farming, which result in a decrease in the quality of sugarcane. The survival of sugarcane farmers is threatened, including those in Kampung Beru Village as one of the largest suppliers of sugarcane for Takalar Sugar Factory. This study aims to explore the competitiveness of sugarcane farming based on competitive and comparative advantages. Data collection was carried out through interviews and focus group discussion (FGD) involving 76 farmers. Policy analysis matrix (PAM) was utilized for data analysis. The results showed that the private cost ratio (PCR) value, an indicator of competitive advantage, was 1 (1.048), suggesting that sugarcane farming does not have a competitive advantage. Domestic resource cost ratio (DRCR) as an indicator of comparative advantage had a value of 1 (1.795), indicating that sugarcane farming also has no comparative advantage. Sugarcane farming has extremely low competitiveness. Hence, the government is advised to increase sugarcane productivity by conducting campaigns to use superior seeds, increase the efficiency of production facilities, revise purchase price standards, and regulate the marketing system.JEL Classification A10; B40; B55

Abstract

Technology adoption is essential to increase business competitiveness and performance. Technology can be adopted regarding sales media, payment, and shipping methods. Statistics Indonesia reports that as of June 30, 2021, businesses in Indonesia are still dominated by conventional types of business, only 25.92% of companies are conducting e-commerce activities. However, even businesses already doing e-commerce, they still use simple technology through instant messaging and social media. Technologies with more relevant features to sales, such as marketplaces and websites, are not used optimally. The low technology adoption  can also be seen from the payment method, which is still dominated by cash at 77%, and the delivery method by face-to-face at 85%. Therefore, this research investigates why e-commerce businesses in Java have not been optimal in adopting technology. This study uses raw data from the 2021 e-commerce survey conducted by Statistics Indonesia. The population in this study is all e-commerce businesses on the island of Java, totaling 1,774,589 units, with a sample of 5,543 units. The results of this study indicate that the variables of education, training, age, gender, capital, and labor issues tend to be related to technology adoption. The variable delivery service limitations tend not to be related to technology adoption.JEL Classification D31; P42; P46

Abstract

As a developing country, in 2022 Indonesia is the 4th largest population in the world and predicted to experience a demographic bonus in 2020-2035. However, along with the increase in the population and workforce in Indonesia, it turns out that the productivity of the workforce in Indonesia is still low. This study aims to analyze and examine the effect human capital spillovers proxied by higher educated labor and lifetime in-migration on labor productivity in Indonesia along with other production factor variables. This study used panel data collected from 28 provinces in Indonesia in period of 2010 to 2019. Based on the results, the higher the level of education, the higher the productivity and the presence of higher educated labor can provide knowledge spillover for the environment. Meanwhile, human capital spillover from indicators in-migration has no impact on productivity. These results indicate that knowledge spillover support by quality of human capital, but the movement of labor has not provided positive externalities for the surrounding environment.JEL Classification  E24; J24; O47

Abstract

The study examines factors influencing the level of water access for livestock in semi-arid areas of Monduli District, Arusha Region Tanzania. The cross-sectional research design was applied to collect data from a sample of 367 randomly selected pastoralist households. The data was collected using semi-structured questionnaire, focus group discussions, and documentary review. Quantitative data were analysed by using inferential statistics including chi-square tests and ordinal logistic regression model and descriptive statistics involved the use of frequency and percentage. Qualitative data was analysed by using content analysis. The findings show that the majority accounting for 76.3 % of the pastoralist households experienced low level of water access for livestock and a few of them accounting for 2.5% had high water access for livestock. Additionally the findings indicate that off-farm income, access to credit, access to subsidies and the use of donkeys were the factors influencing the level of water access for livestock. The study calls on the policy-makers to establish pro-poor interventions for livestock water supply in the pastoral communities.JEL Classification I30; O13; Q12

Abstract

The occurrence of floods in Nigeria, particularly in the South-Eastern zones, has resulted in significant socioeconomic losses and continues to be a recurring hazard. This study aims to investigate the socioeconomic impacts of flooding in the region, identify causes and coping strategies, suggest measures for flood control, and evaluate the role of the government in flood management. The study collected data through a questionnaire distributed to 200 respondents and analyzed it using simple percentages, frequency distribution tables, and bar charts. The findings reveal that the incidence of flooding has a significant impact on the socioeconomic activity of the affected communities. To address this issue, proactive and reliable measures are necessary, such as reviewing urban plans and policies, establishing state response desks and relief centers in flood-prone areas, etc. These steps can provide long-term results and promote socio-economic growth in the region. Overall, the study highlights the need for effective flood management strategies to minimize the negative effects on communities and foster sustainable development in Nigeria. JEL Classification J10; J18; J19

Abstract

Park and ride (PR)is the right strategy to overcome transportation problems in metropolitan cities with high mobility levels to realize smart mobility. The three main goals of PR are to reduce congestion levels, increase public transportation use, and improve urban space quality. The provision of parking capacity is one of the success factors in the planning of the PR facility. Therefore it is necessary to calculate the parking space requirement in PR. The research was conducted at Sidoarjo Station, the most significant origin station in Sidoarjo Regency, and a recommended PR location. This study aims to calculate parking space requirements and facilities for the existing conditions and projections when PR operates. Data were collected through primary surveys in the form of observations on parking characteristics at Sidoarjo Station and secondary surveys in literature studies. The results of the study indicate that the existing condition of the parking facility at Sidoarjo Station has exceeded the parking capacity, so to accommodate the need for parking space, it is necessary to increase the parking area of 96 m2 in the existing condition up to 413 m2 or 5,923 m2 for the next ten years.JEL Classification L91; O18; R41

Abstract

In the South Kivu province of the democratic republic of Congo, smallholder farmers have been draining marshlands for years to grow a variety of crops into a mixed cropping system. This study based on interviews with smallholder farmers examines the drivers of crop diversification and the challenges these farmers face in marshes where various crops are grown for food and income security. Results showed that in these marshy landscapes, crop diversification system is traditionally rooted in local farming practices (84%), and this is designed to meet farmers’ self-consumption and market objectives (72%), and also withstand risks associated with the changing climate and pest outbreaks (91%). Further, results from the logistic regression showed that farming experience, farm size, and livestock ownership influence significantly farmers ‘decisions to diversify crops. However, farmers claimed to face increasing prices of agricultural inputs (73%) and unusual crop theft (32%) during this ongoing COVID-19 pandemic whereas floods and pest attack as well as plant diseases are raising more concerns among farmers. Although farmers acknowledged the significant roles of livestock in easily acquiring manure and mulch to improve croplands, they still requested specific interventions in terms of priorities (e.g drainage equipment, pest management information) to strengthen the resilience and sustainability of agriculture within marshes.JEL Classification Q01; Q10; R14

Abstract

Work accidents can determine the safety quality in the workplace, which contributes to national economic development. It is estimated that GDP losses from work injuries are 3.94% annually. It is important to reactivate work-injured persons to be productive. The Return To Work (RTW) program was formed to accommodate employees who become disabled after a fatal injury. This study aims to estimate the RTW rate and the factors that influence the probability of success of the RTW Program for work-injured persons. Data were obtained from Social Security Organization (BPJS Ketenagakerjaan) from 2020-2021, with 195 participants following this program due to fatal work injuries. This study is cross-sectional and uses a logistic regression model. The result is 75.90% of participants could work after following this program. The factor positively influences the success of the RTW program, such as lower and upper amputation (OR=2.474), working in the secondary sector (OR=2.409), following the RTW program in 2020 (OR=2.184), and paying a lower insurance premium rate (OR=3.260). The rate of the RTW in Indonesia is relatively high, with more than three-quarters of participants able to work. Risky groups need more attention by providing information about the work environment and road hazards. This finding can be a reference for developing the RTW program to increase the assistance to high-risk patients for not able to work after the RTW program.JEL Classification E24; H55; J24
