Abstract

This study investigated the effectiveness of the Field School Livestock Business Management program in enhancing the knowledge and skills of livestock farmers in Tasikmalaya Regency, a region implementing the Upland Areas Project (UPLAND). Employing a quantitative pre- and post-test design, the research assessed the impact of the Field School on participants from Batch 1 (n=25) and Batch 2 (n=25). The curriculum encompasses crucial aspects of livestock management, including feed cultivation, barn management, seed selection, husbandry techniques, and reproduction management, with Class 2 also participating in practical forage crop cultivation. The findings revealed statistically significant improvements in the mean knowledge and skill scores for both classes following the Sekolah Field intervention. Batch 1 demonstrated an increase from a pre-test mean of 69.60 to a post-test mean of 84.40, while Batch 2 demonstrated a more substantial gain from 60.40 to 83.20. Inferential statistical analysis on the normalized gain scores indicated a significantly higher learning efficiency in Batch 2 compared to Batch 1, suggesting that factors such as the practical forage cultivation session may have contributed to enhanced learning outcomes. These results underscore the efficacy of the Field School as an impactful extension methodology for improving livestock farmers' competencies, aligning with the UPLAND project's goals of fostering integrated and sustainable agricultural systems. The study highlights the potential of participatory, hands-on learning approaches in promoting knowledge acquisition and skill development crucial for modern livestock management. Future research should focus on longitudinal assessments of knowledge retention and the actual adoption of sustainable practices, as well as exploring the socio-economic and environmental impacts of the Sekolah Field program in the long term.

Abstract

Sustainable entrepreneurship has emerged as a transformative force within higher education, reflecting a growing emphasis on ethical, responsible, and future-oriented business practices. Its integration into academic contexts underscores the critical role universities play in fostering entrepreneurial mindsets that align with sustainable development goals. However, despite its rising prominence, there remains a lack of comprehensive conceptual exploration regarding the role and significance of sustainable entrepreneurship toward challenges in shaping educational approaches and institutional strategies within higher education. Furthermore, this article aims to investigate the interconnected relationship between academia, entrepreneurship, and sustainability by articulating the unique role of universities as pivotal hubs for nurturing sustainable business ideas. It further explores the key challenges and innovative strategies involved in scaling sustainable ventures from academic environments to broader market ecosystems. Additionally, it analyzes the employed mechanisms and approaches universities to fostering ecosystems conducive to and supportive of sustainable academic entrepreneurship, underscoring the importance of promoting innovation, interdisciplinary collaboration, and stakeholder engagement. Finally, the article explores the increasingly pivotal role of technology and innovation in driving the success of sustainable academic ventures, with a particular focus on transformative technologies poised to shape the future of sustainable business. Through a rigorous conceptual synthesis, this article endeavors to provide valuable insights and an analytical framework for scholars, educators, policymakers, and practitioners vested in advancing sustainable business education and research.

Abstract

Ecotourism has emerged as one of the surest approaches to harmonizing biodiversity conservation with rural livelihood enhancement. The Wechiau Community Hippo Sanctuary (WCHS) is touted as the model example of community-based natural resource management (CBNRM) with a myriad of stakeholders; chiefs community members, NGO, government agencies, and other development partners playing vital roles. This study employed Reed et al.’s (2009) stakeholder analysis framework to delineate eco-social, discuss stakeholder roles, and synthesize lessons for improved governance. The study conducted an in-depth interview with 23 purposively sampled participants from six sanctuary communities, including chiefs, members of the sanctuary management board (SMB), tour guides, rangers, and development partners, and undertook a narrative analysis. The findings revealed that primary stakeholders (chiefs and elders, and local community members) serve as custodians of the ecotourism project; the sanctuary management board and sanctuary management committees run the day-to-day operations; while secondary stakeholders comprising NGOs and other development partners make financial and technical commitments to the project. The study revealed notable benefits, including conservation and the provision of alternative livelihoods for the people. Despite these notable achievements, sustainability is threatened by issues such as role ambiguity, unequal benefit-sharing, and donor dependence, even amid noteworthy advancements in conservation and livelihood creation. To develop community-based ecotourism governance, the article concludes that clarity of roles, equitable participation, and capacity building are essential. It also provides insights for replicating similar models in Ghana and across Africa.

Abstract

This study aims to develop an integrative model for smart rural tourism development by leveraging a community-based green economy and local wisdom in the Sukapulang Agrotourism Area, Sukasetia Village, Indonesia. Amidst accelerating digitalization, this research argues that socio-cultural foundations are key determinants for sustainable development. Using a qualitative case study design, data were gathered through in-depth interviews with ten key informants (village officials, Pokdarwis managers, and MSME actors), participant observation, and documentation. Data analysis was conducted through thematic coding, categorizing the dimensions of empowerment, green practices, and cultural values, and was validated through source triangulation. The findings indicate that smart tourism in Sukasetia is driven by the spirit of "Gotong Royong" (mutual cooperation) and an agrarian cultural heritage that serves as an ethical filter for green economy implementation. This study proposes an integrative model in which local wisdom serves as the foundation, community empowerment as the primary driver, and digitalisation as the accelerator. The novelty of this research lies in repositioning the "smart" paradigm from mere technological adoption to a governance approach grounded in cultural sovereignty.

Abstract

This study proposes a conceptual framework for Green STEAM-H Pedagogy, integrating Eco-Mathematical Literacy as an approach to sustainability-oriented education. The framework responds to the growing need for educational models that systematically connect sustainability values, interdisciplinary learning, and analytical competencies in addressing complex environmental challenges. It synthesizes three key dimensions: green pedagogy as a value-oriented foundation, STEAM-H (Science, Technology, Engineering, Agriculture, Mathematics, and Health) as an interdisciplinary structure, and eco-mathematical literacy as a central analytical component. The framework is operationalized through a developmental progression consisting of three stages: eco-awareness, eco-integration, and eco-transformation. These stages represent a structured pathway through which learners develop ecological understanding, integrate knowledge across disciplines, and apply their competencies in sustainability-oriented actions. In addition, a pedagogical model is proposed to translate the framework into classroom practice by aligning instructional strategies, learning activities, and expected outcomes. This study contributes to the literature by offering a coherent and operationalizable model that bridges the gap between sustainability theory and educational practice. The framework highlights the role of eco-mathematical literacy in supporting data-driven reasoning and decision-making within interdisciplinary learning contexts. It also provides implications for curriculum development, pedagogy, and assessment in fostering transformative and future-oriented learning.

Abstract

Literacy has increasingly been recognized as a fundamental component of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learning; however, limited research has examined its simultaneous relationship with multiple language competencies, particularly vocabulary mastery, speaking comprehension, and intercultural awareness. Addressing this gap, the present study aims to investigate the extent to which EFL students’ literacy is associated with these three essential competencies and to identify learners’ needs related to literacy development. This study employed a quantitative correlational design complemented by needs analysis. Data were collected from 107 primary students through a set of instruments, including a literacy test, a vocabulary assessment, a speaking comprehension test, and an intercultural awareness questionnaire, as well as a needs analysis survey. The data were analyzed using Spearman rho correlation to determine the strength of relationships among variables. The findings revealed significant positive correlations between literacy and all three competencies. The strongest relationship was found between literacy and vocabulary mastery, followed by moderate correlations with speaking comprehension and intercultural awareness. These results indicate that students with higher literacy levels tend to demonstrate better lexical knowledge, improved ability to comprehend spoken language, and greater awareness of cultural diversity. In conclusion, literacy functions as a foundational competence that supports broader language development and intercultural communication. The study highlights the importance of integrating literacy-based and multimodal instructional practices in EFL classrooms to enhance students’ communicative competence and global awareness.

Abstract

This study addresses the persistent challenge of aligning agribusiness practices with environmental conservation in coffee-producing regions, where conventional supply chain systems often fail to support ecological sustainability and marginalize local knowledge. While digitalization has been promoted as a solution to improve efficiency and transparency, its implementation frequently overlooks the socio-cultural context of smallholder farmers. At the same time, local wisdom—long recognized for its role in sustaining ecological balance—remains insufficiently integrated into modern agribusiness systems. This study aims to develop a conceptual framework that integrates digital supply chain systems with local wisdom to enhance conservation-oriented coffee agribusiness. A conceptual approach, supported by a structured literature review, is employed to critically analyze existing models of agribusiness, digital agriculture, and community-based conservation. The analysis reveals significant gaps in current approaches, particularly the lack of synergy between technological innovation and culturally embedded practices. In response, this study proposes the Smart Conservation-Based Coffee Agribusiness Model (SCCAM), which positions local wisdom as the foundational layer, supported by digital systems to improve transparency, market access, and sustainability incentives. The model emphasizes integrating farm-level practices, digital platforms, and market mechanisms to achieve both economic viability and environmental conservation. This study contributes to the development of interdisciplinary approaches in sustainable agribusiness by offering a novel framework that bridges technology and culture. The proposed model offers practical implications for policymakers, practitioners, and researchers in designing inclusive, conservation-oriented agribusiness systems.

Abstract

"Village-Owned Enterprises (BUMDes) are institutional instruments designed to strengthen the village economy through community participation and the utilization of local social capital. However, practices in various regions indicate that not all BUMDes can develop sustainably. This study aims to analyze the role of community participation and social capital in BUMDes development in Bintan Regency. The central research question this study addresses is: How do community participation and social capital interact to shape the performance and sustainability of BUMDes in coastal villages? This research used a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data was obtained through in-depth interviews, field observations, and documentation studies with BUMDes managers, village government officials, and village facilitators. The results indicate that the level of community participation in BUMDes planning and management remains largely symbolic. Social capital in the form of trust, social networks, and norms of cooperation has not been fully capitalized on as productive economic strength. Weak institutional capacity and limited regulatory support also weaken the function of participation and social capital in driving BUMDes business performance. This study adds to existing BUMDes research by exploring the dynamics of coastal social capital and the institutionalization of community participation in the context of village governance. This study confirms that the success of BUMDes development is determined not only by managerial aspects, but also by the quality of community participation and the strength of social capital formally institutionalized in village governance."

Abstract

Regional egocentrism has emerged as an unintended consequence of decentralization policies that grant local governments extensive authority. In this context, inter-regional cooperation becomes essential to facilitate the sharing of resources, benefits, and development responsibilities. However, such cooperation remains absent in several border areas, including the Indonesia–Timor Leste border regions of North Central Timor (TTU), Belu, and Malaka Regencies. This study aims to identify the factors underlying the absence of inter-regional cooperation in these regions. This research employs a qualitative exploratory approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and focus group discussions (FGDs) with purposively selected local government officials, non-governmental organizations, community leaders, and academics. Data were analyzed using an interactive model and validated through triangulation techniques. The findings reveal that the absence of cooperation is influenced by several factors, including limited understanding, lack of willingness, low interest, limited capacity, perceived lack of necessity, weak regulatory supervision, and the suboptimal role of the governor as the central government’s representative. These findings highlight the need for stronger institutional support and governance mechanisms to initiate and sustain inter-regional cooperation in decentralized border contexts.
