Abstract

This edition of AJCE defines and elaborates on the idea of inclusive community engagement as a means to involve the community in a meaningful process. ‘Inclusive’ refers to the principles of encompassing everyone, all individuals and groups alike, regardless of their identity, background, characteristics, needs, and perspectives, thereby ensuring that all voices are represented (Hodkinson, 2011). This practice extends beyond individuals with disabilities and embodies broader ideas of equality. Inclusive engagement plays a crucial part in fostering a constructive dialog that incorporates diverse perspectives within a community. Such engagements prioritize community participation in the decision-making process that affects their well-being (Chen & Stoddart, 2024). There is a growing emphasis on inclusive community engagement, as the current practices are often perceived as obsolete activities, non-inclusive, and failing to promote equity or authentic outcomes (Anthony, 2023). Often, community members who should be involved in the engagement process are excluded, despite the need to integrate with community life (Ohmer et al., 2022). Consequently, there is a need to shift community development approaches to better address local needs and interests, encouraging diverse and active forms of engagement (Chen & Stoddart, 2024; Ohmer et al., 2022). Inclusive community engagement is crucial to prevent illusive interactions where only select stakeholders have a voice in decision-making (Anthony, 2023). By fostering inclusive engagement, communities can gain valuable insights and resources, significantly enhancing their livelihood and building a stronger and more resilient community. The shift toward more inclusive empowerment requires an understanding of community as an evolving idea. It is essential to view the community not merely as a homogenous entity defined by specific locations and a shared identity, such as the Indigenous and rural communities, but as a collective that consists of diverse ideas with fluid and ambiguous boundaries (Chen & Stoddart, 2024; Dempsey, 2010). A community can be also an imagined one, tied with culturally shared values that extend beyond mere physical geography. Additionally, communities can also be shaped by the social-relational networks that dynamically pursue global collaboration, emphasizing access and interactions among individuals, groups, or institutions as stakeholders. The advancement of information and communication technology has enabled them to voice their concerns and priorities, thereby calling for innovative and creative approaches to community engagement (Head, 2007). By recognizing the community as a collective of individuals and groups to be engaged in the development process, a variety of perspectives, experiences, and valuable insights are taken into account.

Abstract

This paper explores the ‘discursive’ as well as the physical terrains of Country as part of a co-design methodology employed with Nukunu. It examines a curatorial and archival perspective in its documenting of Nukunu Country forming part of the Time Layered Culture Map (TLCMap) digital humanities infrastructure project. A literature review from Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal scholars presents perspectives around decolonizing Western ontological and epistemological structures as a mode of disrupting current, entrenched codification of knowledge. This paper seeks primarily to explore the Indigenization of information shared and re-presented in the co-design exercises of designing on Country to contribute to the preservation of Traditional Knowledge, in addition to designing facilities to house community whilst undertaking these practices. The methods include exploration of scholarly literature of co-design and architectural ethnographic practices, through a lens of recounting first-hand, in-the-field experiences that range from observational to direct engagement in cultural burning and camping on site to further understand and connect with all that constitutes Country. This study highlights the importance of observation and participation in architectural ethnographic methods, which positively strengthen the co-design process and support the preservation of cultural burning practices. It shows how the process reveals the cultural and ecological wisdom of the traditional community, contributing to the knowledge of Indigenous land management techniques.

Abstract

This paper examines the roles and responsibilities in the country’s development toward the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The media in any society is fundamentally a development partner. Whether combating diseases or disseminating critical messages about development plans and actions to the public, the media is a key stakeholder. In Nigeria, the government, in collaboration with development agencies and other relevant stakeholders, has actively sought pathways to actualize the SDGs. The media are among these important stakeholders. The Nigerian press and media to serve the people and development across the nation present a good opportunity. However, this study observes that after SDGs were developed in 2015 and adopted by United Nations members, they remained unattended after the deadline. Against this backdrop, this study evaluates Nigeria’s development in light of the SDGs. Using a library research approach, the researchers examined the literature to interrogate the roles and responsibilities of the Nigerian media in achieving these goals. The study finds that the Nigerian media played vital roles in the processes leading to actualizing of the goals and identified key areas where improvement is required. It concludes the potential of the Nigerian press and media in paving their way to contribute further to the SDGs actualization and to the development of Nigeria.

Abstract

This article discusses the development of a prototype spray pipe evaporator and its efficiency in producing salt in Indonesia. Due to the length of the salt harvesting season in Indonesia, many salt farmers have closed their business doors, leaving many salt ponds abandoned. The spray pipe evaporator prototype was designed to produce a brine solution with a salinity of 23–24 Be from seawater, which has a salinity of 2.5–3.5 Be, in less than 3 days. This is faster than the conventional process of a brine solution salinity of 24 Be. The prototype spray pipe evaporator was assessed in a 20 x 60 m evaporation pool with a depth of 18 cm that contained brine solution with a salinity of 15.5 Be. The number of sprays installed was 11. The salinity increased from 15.5 Be to 20.5 Be after 8.5 hr of evaporation. Meanwhile, with conventional evaporation, the salinity of the brine solution reaches 16.5 Be after 3 days of evaporation. Based on calculations of the evaporation capacity for 11 sprays, it was determined that each spray can evaporate 7.6 m3 of water. A spray pipe evaporator is thus more recommended for evaporation of seawater with a salinity of around 3–5 Be. The ratio of evaporation ponds using spray to evaporation ponds without spray is around 1:15. The technical development conducted in this study improved the evaporation process through spraying, which is applicable for salt pond farming and the salt industry. This technology arguably saves energy for pumps and reduces the number of workers, thus benefitting the salt farmers’ communities in tropical contexts, such as Indonesia.

Abstract

Conventional organic waste management methods often lead to environmental degradation and underutilization of valuable resources. In rural areas, such as Polaman Village, limited awareness and inefficient disposal systems exacerbate these issues, thus necessitating innovative and sustainable solutions. This study explores black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) bioconversion as a community-based solution for organic waste management, addresses environmental challenges, and promotes economic empowerment by converting waste into valuable by-products. The study employed a mixed-methods approach, beginning with baseline assessments of waste generation and existing management practices to identify community needs. Educational workshops and hands-on training sessions introduced BSFL bioconversion techniques to local stakeholders. Focus group discussions (FGDs) were conducted to facilitate dialog and collaboration between Polaman residents, the Polaman Resik Sejahtera Waste Bank, and Universitas Diponegoro. Continuous mentoring and pilot trials were conducted to ensure proper adoption and to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed system. The results reveal that BSFL bioconversion significantly reduces organic waste while producing valuable by-products such as compost and larvae. These findings demonstrate the potential of BSFL bioconversion to align with circular economy principles, contributing to environmental sustainability and economic resilience. The project serves as a scalable model for addressing organic waste challenges in rural communities while advancing the green economy agenda.

Abstract

This paper discusses the Service Learning Malaysia-University for Society (SULAM) program in developing an educational strategy for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) learning at a Malaysian secondary school. The implementation of the 60:40 policy (60% STEM and 40% non-STEM) in Malaysia is to increase the number of students studying STEM. However, as of 2022, this policy had failed to achieve this target ratio. Additionally, Malaysian students’ scores on the Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) in the categories of math, science, and language literacy decreased from 2018 to 2022. This paper argues that SULAM represents a promising approach to facilitating knowledge transfer between university students and primary and secondary school students. With the goal of examining the students’ perception and engagement in the Ingenious Content Creator program, this study recruited 50 participants from a secondary school in the Hulu Selangor District. This program was purposely conducted to nurture the interest of junior high school students in STEM and to help students find STEM and information and communication technology (ICT) more exciting and engaging. This study employed a questionnaire to examine the impact of STEM activities in the SULAM program. As a result, although 46% of students had a negative perception toward STEM, 92% of students agreed that STEM was interesting. The designated activities have successfully increased participants’ interest in STEM, generating a positive effect by facilitating learning experiences. The study demonstrates that aligning learning activities with national educational policies while also addressing such challenges can contribute to establishing a clear and meaningful connection between academic institutions and the community.

Abstract

This article discusses the importance of developing a learning track to respond to the demands of the creative market industry in the community, particularly with regard to journalism and related content creation. The study is based on a collaborative workshop conducted with practitioners from the Indonesian platform Kapanlagi Youniverse. The results of this preliminary study indicate that designing a curriculum and learning program that aligns with current industry practices is essential for preparing the journalism and creative content workforce. Collaborating with industry practitioners is crucial to competing in the rapidly evolving creative industry. The findings also suggest that incorporating subjects such as focused journalism and specific writing, as well as collaborative subjects, into up-to-date learning programs is vital for meeting contemporary industry requirements. Furthermore, the study highlights the needs to take action to develop an undergraduate curriculum that leverages relevant materials, media, and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. By preparing the creative industry’s workforce in the community, we can enhance its readiness, thus fostering a circular learning process that benefits the community as a whole.

Abstract

This study examines the complex governance dynamics affecting Indonesian Badan Usaha Milik Desa (BUMDes) [village-owned enterprises], focusing on political, social, economic, and cultural pressures. Using a qualitative multi-case approach, including focus group discussions with 65 participants from West Java and West Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia, the study identified significant challenges: political interference, limited community engagement, economic dependence on government funds, and cultural norms that constrain BUMDes operations. Village elites frequently influence governance, limited capital access, and ingrained cultural values hinder transparency and open dialogue. To address these challenges, this study recommends a comprehensive approach comprising four key strategies: enhancing the institutional autonomy of BUMDes to reduce external interference, fostering that are transparent and inclusive government practices to ensure meaningful community participation, establishing sustainable funding models to secure financial independence, and integrating cultural adaptability into governance frameworks. Together, these strategies aim to build a resilient and inclusive governance structure for BUMDes, enabling them to fulfill their role in future village empowerment and economic development effectively.
