Abstract

Indonesia is experiencing a double burden of malnutrition,especially in young children. Many studies show that community empowerment andnutrition education are effective at reducing the risk of malnutrition whencombined with attractive tools and appropriate nutrition and parenting messages.Therefore, we developed innovative picture storybooks as a fun learning tool to equipteachers and parents with a way to improve their understanding and awareness ofthe quality of early childhood dietary habits and social behavior. The studyconsisted of three stages, including formative research, book development, andevaluation. Our formative research triangulated information on preferences andkey messages on food, nutrition, parenting, and child characteristics throughfocus group discussions (FGDs), in-depth interviews (IDIs), and observations of school foodenvironments. The FGDs were held for the children (n=6), teachers (n=6), andmothers (n=6). The IDIsexplored opinions from a story teller, a nutritionist, a communication expert,a child psychologist, and an illustrator team. Finally, books were developed bythe researcher and evaluated by the expert team (n=10) and teachers (n=8). Thestudy took place in early childhood education centers and kindergartens inCentral Jakarta’s urban areas. Children preferred picture storybooks that represented a unique conditionof magical power and provided characters from the fantasy genre. Following theIDI’srecommendations and observations, three picture storybook series were developed: healthysnacking, integrated with messages to stimulate a child’s disciplined behavior;eating vegetables, especially green ones, with the motivation to increasetruthfulness; and a healthy eating portion guide with a variety of foodscombined with messages to motivate grateful attitudes. The book contentintegrated key messages on nutrition, parenting, and social behavior withunique characters and colorful pictures. The expert team recommended theappropriate development of the picture storybooks and emphasized paying attention to cleargenres, text structure, content, themes and ideas, language, vocabulary,illustrations and graphic design, and messages delivered. The picture storybookspresent key messages on nutrition, parenting, and child behavior using anattractive, colorful and unique appearance. These books can be used to teachearly childhood nutrition and parenting intervention by integrating them withother approaches such as story-telling, eating meals together, and othersupporting activities.

Abstract

Based on WHO data, Indonesia has the third largest leprosy burden in the world, afterIndia and Brazil. Although leprosy was declared to be eliminated in severalprovinces, there are still several leprosy settlements spread in Indonesia. Oneof these settlements is Neglasari village in Tangerang City, West Java, whereleprosy patients have been living since 1981. There is a scarcity ofinformation regarding the features of leprosy in Indonesia, especially aboutthe description of the patients’ posttreatment condition in terms of bothclinical sequelae and health services provided. A collaboration betweenmultiple departments of Ophthalmology, Dermatovenereology, and MedicalRehabilitation from the Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital/Universitas Indonesia,Jakarta, was established in the form of a health service program to determinethe number and features of disabilities of ex-leprosy patients. We providehealth services, including physical examinations, extend free medication andeye glasses, and impart knowledge about the chronic complications to patientsand local cadres. A nonroutine health service program for leprosy patients wasconducted in Neglasari village, which performed four primary activities ofpromotive, preventive, curative, and rehabilitative. The program included atotal of 260 patients, with a mean age of 50.45 ± 10.15 years and most of thembeing males (60.4%). A duration of >5 years of leprosy was found in 47% ofsubjects, and 96% of them have been released from treatment. Disabilitiescomprised 52.5% in the eye, 87.7% in the hand, and 92% in the foot. In total,65% of the patients had an uncorrected visual acuity of normal to mildimpairment, whereas 5.8% were blind. Eye abnormalities included madarosis(43.9%), entropion (41%), cataract (26%), corneal hypoesthesia (20.6%),trichiasis (17.8%), and lagophthalmos (15.1%), and examination of theextremities revealed that 16% of the subjects had an amputated foot. Spectacleswere successfully distributed to 100% of patients who were visually correctable.This proposed model for leprosy health care program involving multidisciplinaryexpertise is effective for screening numerous disabilities in leprosy patientsat one time. This enables caretakers to determine a holistic management that atthe end is intended to improve the quality of life of patients.

Abstract

This article presents a framework of transformational community engagement strategy which has been implemented by Dharma Bhakti Astra Foundation (YDBA). It discusses the process under which a large company institutionalizes its CSR strategy, policy and actions in developing small and medium enterprises (SMEs). Since 1980 the company has strengthened the capacity of 10,374 SMEs which created 65,855 jobs by 2017. The paper shows the linkages between the concepts of corporate social responsibility (CSR), transformational community engagement, social capital and sustainability performance of a company. This study applies a qualitative case study to investigate why and how one of the largest public listed companies in Indonesia decides to play a role in developing SMEs as its CSR program; how the transformational community engagement strategy is used in implementing the CSR program; and how the SME programs contributes to the company’s triple bottom line through social capital development. The study finds that a large company can complement the government’s roles in SME development, by sharing its knowledge and expertise, providing finance and market access, as well as building social capital for SMEs. By doing so, the company enables SMEs to participate in economic activities and work collaboratively with the company in achieving sustainability performance for both the SME and the company. The conceptual framework developed from this study contributes to the theory by clarifying the linkages between the concepts of CSR program, community engagement and social capital. In practice, the framework can help business practitioners to design their CSR programs through community engagement. In reality, the ASEAN Business Advisory Council meeting in 2017 had considered YDBA’s SME development program as a role model for other large companies operating in the region.

Abstract

This paperillustrates a program to plan a green patch of Ciliwung river landscape througha participatory process involving the community in Condet, East Jakarta. It isbelieved that native knowledge of the river and the riparian, which can only berevealed by the locals, becomes significant to understanding the dynamics ofthe place and to generating a masterplan. Through interviews, focus groupdiscussion and participatory mapping, their everyday experience in utilizingthe landscape can be recognized. Instead of concrete revetment and heightenedlevees along the river, native vegetation is identified and developed, as it isconsidered as key in restoring the ecosystem and generating programs on thelandscape. The landscape will display the natural process and at the same timeprovide a place for social and recreational activities. By utilizing the nativeknowledge of the people, the masterplan of the green patch becomes moreresponsive and fit to the ecological, cultural, and social research. Fosteringthe commitment and active role of the community in every phase of the planningturns into an important aspect to ensuring the implementation andsustainability of the program. This program will support the aim of thecommunity and will strengthen the identity of Condet as a site for ecology, andwill eventually support the conservation program in Ciliwung Condet.

Abstract

This article examines necessary elements to be considered in designing urban forest at the Ragunan Zoo, Jakarta, as part of increasing the role of the zoo to educate people on animals and their habitats. The purpose of the community project conducted by the Architectural Team from the Universitas Indonesia is to assist the management of the Ragunan Zoo to develop part of the zoo area as an urban forest. The Zoo has already an intention to incorporate the urban forest not only as recreation space but as part of a larger development of the zoo that focuses more on the welfare of the animals and creating a memorable experience for visitors. The idea of landscape immersion, an approach in zoo design that incorporates the needs of both visitors and animals so that the zoo can be a place for education, conservation, and recreation, prioritizes the welfare of animals and natural conditions instead of focusing only at aspects related to human comforts. The development of the urban forest is intended to be a successful example of designing landscape and natural environment for the zoo. Accordingly, urban forest can support community activities and the need for green and open spaces for Jakarta. In doing so, this article outlines the importance of urban forest and addresses the benefit of good design for the zoo and providing green space for the city. Finally, this piece provides case study examples describing the context in designers use their knowledge and ability to help the management to collaborate with university and community in the development of the zoo, especially with the focus on urban forest as an extension of landscape immersion. In conclusion, through community engagement, not only the management can have design proposal but also students of Universitas Indonesia can experience the design process and connection between developing urban forest and communities in the city.
