Abstract

The implementation of policies often encounters obstacles in its execution. One contributing factor is the lack of support, and policies are frequently met with resistance from the public. This often leads to failures in achieving policy goals and objectives. This study aims to identify forms of participation that are culturally rooted or emerge due to the local wisdom values held by the community. Through an in-depth examination of the coherence between policy values and social cultural values, empirical analysis is conducted using a qualitative approach based on the policy implementation model framework. To meet methodological standards, research data is analyzed through several stages: data presentation, data reduction, verification, and conclusion drawing. Data validity is ensured through data triangulation (sources and documents). The research findings indicate that village governments in Boalemo Regency have culturally coherent forms of participation related to the stages of Village Fund management policy. This participation involves "Mo'dulohupa Participation" in the policy planning stage, "Mo'huyula Participation" in the implementation stage, and "Mo'tahuli Participation" in the policy success evaluation stage. Despite being often overlooked, these forms of participation should be an integral part of decision-making regarding the governance of the Village Fund. Therefore, it is recommended that village governments in Boalemo Regency intensify the use of public participation forms, prioritizing the local wisdom of the Gorontalo region in the governance of the Village Fund, in all stages of policy planning, implementation, and evaluation, to achieve the expected policy success.

Abstract

Education is one of the crucial aspects for broadening the knowledge of the nation's future generations. A similar situation is observed among the children of the Bajo tribe in Tinakin Laut Village, Banggai Laut Regency. In the past, the majority of them had low educational levels, necessitating awareness to encourage the Bajo community to value knowledge as much as possible. This research aims to understand the educational process for Bajo children in Tinakin Laut Village. The method employed in this study is a qualitative approach using ethnographic methods, involving data collection techniques such as observation, interviews, and documentation. The research data sources consist of primary and secondary data, with data analysis techniques including data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The research results reveal several key findings. First, the education process in Tinakin Laut Village has undergone significant changes. In the past, the community there had little interest in education, but currently, the Bajo community has recognized the importance of education. Second, the education process in Tinakin Village is based on the willingness of children, parental encouragement and awareness, school support, and the influence of the surrounding environment. Third, the economic conditions in Tinakin Laut Village have improved, especially marked by increased job opportunities. Bajo parents in Tinakin Laut Village, who previously relied solely on sea resources, now consider job diversification to avoid dependence on seasons, enabling them to experience a prosperous life similar to the local Banggai community

Abstract

Microplastics will cause serious health problems if they are consumed by living creatures. The public's unwittingly disposing of garbage leads to increasing amounts of microplastic waste every day. The objective of the research is to examine the presence of microplastics in living creatures and to analyse what factors are causing society to engage in these non-conformist actions. The study was carried out on the Aceh Krueng River (Lambaro Bridge) in Greater Aceh district. Data was collected through in-depth interviews and observations of communities in the surrounding area. Research findings suggest that there are several kinds of plastic garbage found around the Lambaro Bridge riverway, such as: a. plastic packaging trash; and b. plastic glass trash. The effects of microplastics on living creatures are: a. for fish, they will affect a decrease in appetite and have a high potential for death. b. for zooplankton, affecting digestive disorders and acute and chronic effects of zooplanton. c. impact on humans, i.e., inflammation of organs and intestinal microbial disorders. The existence of plastic garbage is caused by non-conforming behaviour in the community, i.e., a. dumping in the river has become a bad habit; b. lack of public concern for the environment due to poor education; c. minimal interest in selling plastic waste to the wrappers; d. no punishment for the perpetrators of discreetly disposing of plastic waste; and e. minimum means and facilities of TPA in some locations

Abstract

Agriculture in Indonesia is currently facing a problem: the decreasing number of young people willing to take over roles from the older generation in the agricultural sector. The purpose of this research is to understand the interest of the younger generation in agriculture, both in terms of attraction and lack thereof. This study employs methods to comprehend the situation by collecting data through observation, interviews, and documentation. The research results indicate that, first, many young people are not interested in farming because they view agriculture as an unpromising, outdated profession that does not align with their lifestyle. Second, several factors influencing the lack of interest among the younger generation in farming include the low prestige associated with agriculture, an imbalance between the agricultural process and its unsatisfactory outcomes, the influence of the surrounding environment, the emergence of new subcultures in the digital era, and a lack of knowledge and support for agriculture.

Abstract

The government's plan to transform the Tanjung Siambang area into a tourist destination necessitates the relocation of fishermen's homes. Job diversification becomes a solution for fishermen in Tanjung Siambang to survive. Job diversification is a strategy that must be implemented by fishermen because, without it, they will face difficulties in meeting their household economic needs. Economic needs must be continually met to ensure daily life runs smoothly. The purpose of this study is to determine the impact of relocation due to the construction of resorts and golf courses on the fishing community in Dompak Island. This study uses a qualitative approach. This approach is used to describe the context of fishermen's lives in job diversification for survival. The data sources in this study are primary and secondary data obtained through observation and in-depth interviews. The results of the study show that many fishermen in Tanjung Siambang Village have diversified their jobs by working as laborers, members of the municipal police (Satpol PP), and gardening. Moreover, the roles of fishermen's wives also contribute to the economy to meet daily needs. The impact of the relocation due to development has led the community to choose side jobs to meet daily needs and create independence by starting home industries. The development of the golf course has caused the local community to lose their homes and made access to boats for fishermen more difficult. This has fostered the creativity of the local community, which is a novelty in this study.

Abstract

Deforestation in Indonesia remains a significant issue due to various factors. This article reveals the impact of demographic variables on deforestation, using oil palm plantation expansion as a case study. The study applies Hunter's model, considering population dynamics and intermediate variables, namely science and technology, institutions, policies, and culture. Through traditional literature review methods, demographic data and field research results from 2010 to 2020 were elaborated, focusing on Sumatra, Kalimantan, and Sulawesi. The findings underline that Indonesian rapid population growth drives high consumption rates. Additionally, the development of oil palm plantations is faced with high demand for CPO, policies that attach too much importance to investment, and agrarian deregulation. All these intermediate variables are visible through the agricultural expansion as a pattern of agricultural development. The massive expansion by private companies resulted in a change in the socio-ecological landscape. In addition, there are dilemmas in the villager's livelihood system, such as shifting traditional livelihood bases, livelihood dualism, the emergence of new vulnerabilities, and land grabs. In order to realize sustainable palm oil development, we suggest governance reforms at the global, national, and local levels.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the social solidarity among corn farmers in Papualangi Village, Tolinggula District, North Gorontalo Regency. A qualitative approach with descriptive analysis was employed. Five corn farmers from Papualangi Village served as informants for this research. Data were collected through documentation, interviews, and observation. The findings indicate the following: First, the Papualangi Village government's role in enhancing the welfare of corn farmers has not been effectively implemented. Second, while corn farmers’ response to social solidarity remains strong, there has been a shift from a previously unpaid system of solidarity to one that employs a wage system. Third, materialism acts as a hindrance; specifically, the wage system provided to workers during corn planting is a form of materialism that inhibits solidarity. Fourth, the wage system's impact on corn farmers includes both positive and negative effects. On the positive side, field observations reveal that the wage system enhances efficiency and accelerates work completion. Additionally, it increases income for workers who benefit from earning extra money. Besides the direct economic benefits, the wage system can positively influence social solidarity within the farming community. However, the shift to a wage system may also have adverse effects. One potential negative consequence is a decline in social solidarity among farmers. Some may prefer paying workers rather than relying on traditional mutual cooperation, which can diminish the sense of dependency and communal involvement.

Abstract

This study aims to identify the factors, influences, and strategies employed by fishing laborer families in Sondana Village, Bolaang Uki District, South Bolaang Mongondow Regency, to sustain their daily lives. Sondana Village is a coastal area where 15% of the population works as fishermen and heavily depends on marine resources. However, the decline in fish catches and low selling prices have weakened the economic condition of these fishing families. This research uses a qualitative descriptive method with data collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The results reveal that fishing laborer families employ various survival strategies: 1) active strategies, including seeking side jobs and involving family members to earn additional income; 2) passive strategies, such as saving or setting aside part of their income for urgent needs; and 3) network strategies, utilizing relationships with boat owners, the government, relatives, or neighbors to borrow money or receive assistance. This study provides new insights into how fishing laborer families adapt to economic challenges and highlights the importance of social support in their survival strategies.
