Abstract

Fish-based fermented foods are integral to traditional diets across Asia, Africa, and Europe, valued for both their nutritional role and cultural significance. Increasingly, they are also studied for potential functional properties such as probiotic activity and bioactive compounds, yet their global research landscape has not been systematically assessed. This study presents a bibliometric analysis of global research on fish-based fermented foods published between 2015 and 2024. Data were retrieved from the Scopus database and analyzed using the Bibliometrix R package and Biblioshiny interface. A total of 263 documents were identified across 145 sources, authored by 1,150 researchers. The field has shown rapid growth, with an annual publication increase of 27.01% and an average of 28.48 citations per article, indicating strong scholarly visibility. Most contributions originated from East and Southeast Asia, particularly China, South Korea, and Thailand, reflecting the cultural and culinary importance of fermented fish in these regions. Author productivity followed Lotka’s law, with a small group of core researchers driving sustained output. Keyword co-occurrence and thematic mapping revealed dominant clusters around fermented fish sauce, lactic acid bacteria, and microbial diversity, alongside emerging themes related to fatty acids and bacterial communities. Despite these advances, the analysis highlighted notable gaps, including limited international collaboration and underrepresentation of research from Africa and parts of South Asia. These findings suggest that while the field is expanding and diversifying, greater cross-regional engagement and methodological innovation are needed to fully explore the nutritional, functional, and socio-economic dimensions of fish-based fermented foods.

Abstract

Event industry as popular known as MICE Tourism business is rapidly growing in Indonesia, various international events have been successfully held in Indonesia, but little is known about how these events are operated and who the parties involved are. Behind the success of the event, many MSME are involved with several constraints that also need government attention, so that they can support the sustainability of event entrepreneurs in the future. The main problem is the lack of achievement standards that can serve as a reference other than simply meeting the terms of reference and spending according to the budget plan outlined in the contract. Based on direct observation and interviews with event business owners, namely a number of involved event organisers and vendors, and with the help of NVIVO software, at least eight important factors were identified: Commitment & Contract, Innovation & Novelty of Event, Mutual Partnership, Payment, Portfolio & Experience, Product Quality, Profit, and Zero Complaint. Each factor and its implications are discussed in detail in this study

Abstract

The sustainability of dairy cattle businesses in smallholder farms faces various complex and interconnected threats, especially after the outbreak of Foot-and-Mouth Disease, which worsened the national cattle population and milk production. This research aims to identify threats to the sustainability of dairy cattle businesses in Suci Village, Panti District, Jember, using a multidimensional risk approach that includes ecological, economic, social, technological, and institutional dimensions. A quantitative approach was used with a census method on 25 dairy farmers as respondents, using a structured questionnaire. The research results indicate that the majority of dairy farms fall into the "less sustainable" category, characterized by low availability of green fodder, barn capacity, number of livestock, income, education level, farming experience, group role, and low technology utilization. Leverage analysis identifies several sensitive attributes that most influence sustainability levels, namely agricultural waste utilization (ecological), number of livestock (economic), education and farming experience (social), group role (institutional), and mobile phone usage (technological). These findings highlight the need for comprehensive interventions in farmer capacity building, institutional strengthening, technology modernization, and improved feed and waste management to promote the sustainability of smallholder dairy farming at the village level.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the strategy of the Sangihe Islands Regency Tourism Office in managing Para Village as a community-based, sustainable ecotourism destination and to identify the challenges encountered in its management. The approach used is qualitative, using a case study method, with in-depth interviews, field observations, and documentation of local governments, Tourism Awareness Groups (Pokdarwis), and local communities. The study's results show that Kampung Para's ecotourism potential is enormous, with its main attractions being natural beauty, sustainable mangrove ecosystems, and the cultural richness of coastal communities. However, destination management still faces institutional and regulatory constraints, especially the unenacted Village Regulation (Perdes) on tourism levies, which has led to a weak legal basis and management accountability. Nevertheless, the community actively participates in maintaining the area's cleanliness, preserving local culture, and developing tourist attractions such as the Ampa Wayer dance and the Seke Maneke ceremony. The role of NGOs is significant in increasing community capacity through hospitality training, digital promotion, and policy assistance. To realize sustainable management, it is necessary to accelerate the legalization of Village Regulations, strengthen the Pokdarwis institution, and collaborate across sectors between the government, the community, and non-governmental partners. This research emphasizes that collaborative, locally rooted, value-based governance is the key to developing ecotourism that is inclusive, competitive, and supports achieving the Village SDGs, especially goals 8, 11, and 15.
