Abstract

Livelihood analysis involves perceptions and complexities, as it encompasses a bottom-up approach and is context-dependent, focusing on individuals, households, communities, and social groups. Furthermore, livelihood adaptation is crucial to cope with various risks and shocks, which pose a greater threat for vulnerable residents living in a slum area. This analysis attempts to understand the forms of livelihood adaptation and constraints within the area. This understanding also contributes to a valuable discussion on livelihood and better interventions. The Garrett’s ranking is employed to identify and analyze these forms and constraints. The dominant adaptation forms involve job seeking, land and tools utilization, counting on family support, and increasing societal concern for others. The key constraints comprise limited job opportunities, inequality, damaged infrastructure, inappropriate social assistance, and uncertain natural disruption. Both adaptation forms and constraints are interconnected, and resolving constraints is needed to facilitate effective adaptation.

Abstract

Job opportunities are the main problem faced by Indonesia because the large of population, high population growth rate and large workforce. The tourism sector has a large multiplier effect on employment and become a potential sector as a source of income for a country or region. By combining cross-section and time-series data in 35 districts and cities in Central Java Province from 2016-2020 and the Seemingly Unrelated Regression Panel approach. The results showed that supporting infrastructure for the tourism sector, such as the number of hotel rooms and the number of restaurants, had an effect on employment in the tourism sector, and a positive effect was shown by the variable number of tourist objects and tourist visits. The coefficient value on the wage variable which is quite large indicates that the elasticity of employment related to wages is quite high. The implication of the research is increasing the quality and quantity of sustainable tourist objects can attract an increase in foreign and domestic tourist visits so as to increase the workforce through the tourism sector. The implication of the study to strengthen among government, private sector and local community to develop sustainable tourism sectors.

Abstract

Subjective well-being (SWB) refers to people who have a positive emotion, high life satisfaction, and low negative sentiments. The socioeconomic condition of households plays a very important role in determining the level of SWB. Apart from economic factors, it is believed that there are some other factors affecting SWB of household. This research examines how socio-economic factors can affect SWB households using the Indonesia Family Life Survey (IFLS-5) microdata, this research will analyse both descriptive and inferential statistics. Applying descriptive analysis, we found that the number of happier households were much higher than those that were not. While, the logistic regression showed that economic status, education, health, marital status and stated feeling significantly affect to SWB. The study found no association among SWB, the number of dependents, and location of respondents. These findings showed that economic factors did not solely determine household welfare.

Abstract

There is an ongoing debate in the field of minimum wage literature, with different theories predicting varying impacts on employment. According to neoclassical theory, when the minimum wage increases and becomes binding, employment decreases. However, the monopsony labor market theory predicts that minimum wage can increase employment. Empirical examination in Indonesia has yielded mixed results, depending on the data and empirical model specification. Our study used panel data of regencies/cities in Java Island between 2017 to 2021 period and the fixed effect estimation method. We found that the minimum wage can increase employment in the formal sector, but the effect diminishes as non-compliance increases. This suggests that the benefit of a minimum wage in protecting workers depends on enforcement and that weak enforcement and setting a minimum wage too high may cause more non-compliance, which could harm formal employment.

Abstract

This study identifies and assesses the impact of transfers to regions, local-own source revenue (Pendapatan Asli Daerah, PAD), gross regional domestic product, population, and construction cost index (CCI) on fiscal stress in regencies / cities in Maluku Province in 2015-2022. The data was obtained from Statistics Indonesia and Directorate of Financial Balance of the Ministry of Finance, analyzed quantitatively using panel data regression analysis and a fixed effect model obtained through Hausman test. The results indicate that the transfers to regions and PAD have a negative and significant impact on the fiscal stress, in contrast to the CCI. They suggest that higher transfers to regions and PAD would decrease the fiscal stress, and the CCI was a determinant in the local expenditure to increase regional growth and community services. The stress caused by limited PAD might be alleviated by the availability of potential regional resources and readiness of human resources.

Abstract

Indonesian tourism sector becomes an important part of national development planning over the past decade. However, the development of the tourism sector stimulates many negative ecological issues. Tourism has a complex relationship with the economy and ecological quality. it is essential to investigate progress of tourism-economy-ecology system. An integrated study of this system can be analyzed using coupling coordination degree method (CCDM) that provides overview of interaction and level of coordination in systems. The findings show that coupling degree between tourism-economy-ecology systems increases from run-in to high-phases. This condition indicates that there was strong connection between systems during observation. Meanwhile, the coupling coordination degree constitutes an ever-increasing evolution from approaching-disorder to well coordination. It shows that the systems are increasingly supportive of each other. Conversely, higher level of coordination is accompanied by decline in environmental system. Promoting ecological quality becomes critical policy for sustainable tourism growth.

Abstract

Due to the presence of a low level of urbanization in developing countries, the horizontal expansion of cities/towns is obvious and results in a rapid rate of urbanization. To monitor the horizontal expansion/growth of the Burayu town from 1986 to 2020 and forecasting by 2030, a time series and high-resolution aerial and satellite images were used. Besides, GIS tools and techniques were applied to organize and analyze the data. Results indicate that the town of Burayu horizontally expanded by 6,331 Ha from year 1986 to 2020; and will expand doubly by 2030.To monitor the growth/ expansion of towns and cities of the urban extent, the town administration and decision-makers should promote; the compact city and mixed-use principles, as well as the regional planning approaches.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the short-term and long-term impacts of household consumption, domestic investment, foreign investment, and government expenditure on regional economic growth across 34 provinces in Indonesia from 2013 to 2022. The method employed is dynamic panel regression using the System Generalized Method of Moments (SYS-GMM). Our result shows that household consumption significantly and positively affects regional economic growth in both the short and long-term. Domestic investment shows a positive impact but is not statistically significant in either the short or long-term. Conversely, foreign investment exhibits a negative impact that is also not statistically significant over both time horizons. Government expenditure demonstrates a positive and significant impact on regional economic growth in both the short and long-term. Effective government policies are therefore necessary across the 34 provinces to foster both domestic and foreign investment.

Abstract

As the fourth-largest coffee exporter worldwide, Indonesia contributes significantly to the global coffee trade while contending with challenges such as export volatility, trade barriers, and the impacts of climate change. This study aims to investigate the determinants of Indonesia’s coffee exports, focusing on productivity, trade barriers, and climate variability. This study employed the Error Correction Model (ECM) to analyze time-series data from 1989 to 2022, sourced from the FAO, WITS, and the World Bank. The findings indicate that, in the long run, coffee imports, trade openness, and the extent of harvested land area are positively correlated with export performance, while export taxes and increasing land temperatures exert negative effects. In the short run, productivity is associated with increased exports, whereas land area appears to have a negative relationship. These findings suggest that addressing trade barriers, improving land management, and enhancing trade openness are essential for strengthening export competitiveness.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the relationship between local government expenditure allocation and poverty reduction and map the time needed to fade the disparity between the dichotomy of regions. The methods used statistical approaches and mathematical models, both linear and non-linear, to project the time of inequality fading by observing all districts and cities in Banten Province during the period 2005-2024. The study also examines the differences in spending patterns between North and South Banten in the context of fiscal decentralization. Key results show that spending on these functions has a strong negative correlation with poverty rates, while predictive models show optimistic and pessimistic scenarios in the fading of inequality. This study concludes that optimizing local government spending can significantly accelerate the reduction of poverty gaps. The contribution of this research provides a theoretical and practical basis for more effective fiscal policies in supporting inclusive and sustainable development.
