Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic, which has had a profound impact on people’s lives around the world, has also affected international social work practice and research on social issues. This article explores how international social work research can draw lessons from bilateral research collaborations during the COVID-19 pandemic. In May 2021, an international collaborative research project was commenced to examine the practical experiences of social workers in Sri Lanka, with the overall purpose of contributing to development of socio-culturally relevant social work training. Trial semi-structured interviews were conducted using remote tools with five social workers in government or private organisations. The narratives of the interviewees were qualitatively analysed to identify their personal backgrounds of social work education and practice, their experiences of working during the pandemic and their perspectives and values as social workers. Lessons learnt were discussed focussing on the objectives and perspectives of the study, the preliminary arrangements for the research, the methods and considerations. In a context where it is important for social work researchers to promote international studies during and after the COVID-19 pandemic, this paper provides an example of a feasible international cooperative study.

Abstract

The problem of vagrants and beggars is a fairly complex issue in big cities such as Jakarta, Bandung, Semarang, Surabaya, Medan, and Makassar. These big cities' charms have attracted the poor with low education levels and limited access to education, health, and skill development. Many service programs for the vagrants and beggars have been carried out, yet the problems related to the vagrants and beggars have never subsided. Quantitative and qualitative approach are used to determine how the condition of social rehabilitation services carried out for vagrants and beggars by the government and the community, the extent of their level of social functioning, and the role of social workers in social rehabilitation services. A population sample is a group of homeless people and beggars who receive social services in government institutions and community organisation. The sampling used was the purposive sampling method with a sample of 487 respondents in the six provinces, namely DKI Jakarta, West Java, East Java, Central Java, North Sumatra, and South Sulawesi. This research found that in the process of social rehabilitation services for vagrants and beggars, there are still differences in the service standards between institutions; limitations in human resources, including social workers; limited budget support; limited cooperation, and coordination between local government organizations at the provincial, regency/municipal, and central government along with related stakeholders. It conclude that the national policy platform related to the handling of vagrants and beggars needs to be the focus to overcome the complexity of the problems faced by this marginal group.
