<![CDATA[In a rural area, environmental degradation and poverty nexus focuses on the high-dependency of poor people to natural resources-based livelihood. Arguably, limited assets of poor people cause them to be unable to cope with natural resources degradation and to undertake sustainable practice in their livelihood activities. This study attempts to find the nexus between environmental degradation and poverty in the case of coral reef destruction in Indonesia by applying secondary research as a methodology. A sustainable livelihood framework is applied to analyze small-scale fisher people’s vulnerability and capacity to destruct. This study finds that small-scale fisher-people have limited assets to cope with coral reef destruction; however, the same condition leads them to destruct coral reef by doing the destructive fishing practice. This condition causes them to be trapped in the downward spiral of environmental degradation and poverty. Moreover, small-scale fisher-people can overcome this problem by developing self-governance common pool resources to conserve coral reef and increase their livelihood sustainability.]]>

<![CDATA[In 2012 researchers proposed a moratorium on international trade in the import and sale of the gills of Manta Rays. In the 2013 CITES conference in Bangkok, a convention to prohibit manta ray and shark hunting is agreed by 93 countries. Indonesia as the second sea fish producer affected by this policy, especially for the fishers in Lamakera, Solor Islands, East Nusa Tenggara. Since hundreds of years ago, the Lamakera fishers known as stingray and whale hunter, and stingrays species is their main economic commodity. Indonesia, as a part of CITES, is bound and must obey to the convention. Then, in 2014, the Indonesian government has issued a regulation banning manta rays. This paper will use the liberal institutional approach in describing how the Indonesian government tackles the issue of environment, implementing CITES conventions, and solve the economic problems of local people that involving diverse stakeholders.]]>

<![CDATA[HIV transmission patterns had changed from high-risk groups to the group of housewives. Housewives will get pregnant and give birth. The possibility of a child contracting HIV from his mother can be prevented by utilizing the PMTCT program optimally. The objective of this research is to analyze the internal and external factors of PMTCT program utilization for pregnant women. This research used a critical review of previous studies (2009-2017). Social structures (education, occupation, and economic status) were not significantly related to the behavior of PMTCT program utilization. However, the availability of information and consultation with health officers (external factors) related to knowledge and perception of pregnant women about HIV and PMTCT program (internal factors). Good knowledge and perception would connect with the behavior of PMTCT program utilization. Negative stigma (external factor) from the family, community, and health officer made pregnant women reluctant to utilize the PMTCT program optimally. In conclusion, the need for increasing the quality of health services to become client-oriented as of widening the scope and optimization of the PMTCT program.]]>

<![CDATA[As competitiveness gains currency, it compels many governments’ concerns in achieving economic resilience to avoid the Middle-income Trap. Indonesia has focused on promoting industrialization and economic diversification as a response to the probability of being trapped. However, it has been shown that the performance of the manufacturing sector in Indonesia has been unsatisfying due to the inability to enhance human and technological competences and managing the transition from labor- and resource-intensive to capital- and technology-intensive industries. This situation signifies the importance of industrial revitalization in Indonesia by strengthening the weakest links, innovation, and human capital through the adoption of capability-focused industrial policy on innovation and technology. This paper examines factors that challenge Indonesia to develop innovation and technological capabilities in the industrial sector and analyze the role of the state in organizing industrial policy based on the adoption of the capabilities-focused strategy within reindustrialization in the democratic setting. Employing Thee Kian Wie’s conditions for industrial technology development and Dani Rodrik’s industrial policy, this study reveals vital factors challenging Indonesia’s efforts on innovation and technological development in manufacturing industries. It also found two ideational factors that affect the Orde-Baru bureaucratic culture and practice remain intact in the policy formulation and implementation, and ultimately obstructing current industrial policy to achieve the policy goals and right institutional setting.]]>

<![CDATA[This article aims at describing the way the dimension of the social crisis is within the social sciences and humanities discourses, and the extent such a dimension is noticeable within the crisis reality in South Korea. Literature study of crisis for this study indicates that social crisis is, in theory, a general failure occurring in social life within a historical period, such a crisis produces collective distress generated by the incongruity between the ideas structure and the material structure. The crisis dimension consists of socio-political and socio-economic crisis and natural disasters. Available data on the socio-political crisis reality in South Korea displays a fact that those theoretical dimensions are discernible within the Korean society's life since their colonial era until today.]]>

<![CDATA[One of challenges of sustainable urban development is to provide a viable environment for the population following the function of space and community activities within it. Research on green space in the Netherlands is important as a response to the global environmental crisis as well as the realization of sustainable development. This research uses an interdisciplinary approach through the analysis of the phenomena of spatial management in the context of local-global sustainable urban development. An interdisciplinary approach is used because the issue of "sustainable cities" is multidimensional, so it takes more than one perspective in reviewing it, in this multidisciplinary research involved among others anthropology, urban social planning and sociology. Based on the research problem formulated, the science perspectives are expected to answer the question of how space is interpreted, negotiated and become a vehicle for the distribution of sustainable development ideas. This dynamic also captured the context of green space management so that this study contributes to enriching theoretical studies on the construction of urban spaces. This research question is answered through qualitative methods of collecting primary data through interviews, focused discussions and observations, as well aw searching related literature as secondary data. The result of this study found that the attention of the Dutch environmental policy has also regulated spatial management, primarily related to "space" as part of human activities and has environmental and social impacts. Spatial policy in the eDutch context is articulated as a place of negotiation embodied in the EU's global and regional collective consensus.]]>
