Does Social Forestry Contribute to Farmers’ Income?: A Case Study of Two Mountainous Villages on Java Island, Indonesia

Hitomi Nakayama — 2024-05-14

Social Forestry has been implemented in Indonesia to address environmental conservation and poverty alleviation. However, the effectiveness of this initiative in increasing household income is often subject to scrutiny. This study examines the impact of Social Forestry on household income by comparing Social Forestry members and non-members in two mountainous villages on Java Island. Specifically, the analysis focuses on household surveys conducted in Tombo village in Central Java and Cibulao sub-village in West Java. A negative correlation between membership and household income is observed in Tombo, whereas a positive correlation between membership and farm income is observed in Cibulao. Considering these findings, we posit that pre-implementation land tenure and accessibility may affect the economic outcomes of the program.

Determining the correct strategic issues when developing an area is crucial so that the solution can effectively be implemented to the existing dynamics. Unfortunately, determining strategic issues is often disregarded or not taken seriously during the planning process. A Similar mistake of not defining strategic issues appropriately looms over the development of Mekarmanik Village, which is based on the Rasagalor Coffee Educational Tourism Concept. This research aims to understand the development dynamics happening in Mekarmanik Village so that the correct issue could be determined. By using data and information gathered from literature studies, focus group discussions, and field observations two types of analysis were done to correctly determine strategic issues that fit with the existing condition of Mekarmanik Village, namely case study, content analysis, and descriptive analysis. The result shows that the strategic issues of developing Mekarmanik Village as a tourism village are specific education, tourism concept exploration, and physical infrastructure improvement.

Penerapan Geographically Weighted Panel Regression dan Data Envelopment Analysis dalam Pemodelan Kemiskinan di Kalimantan Timur

Azka Al Azkiya — 2024-05-14

Indonesia currently still needs to focus on achieving sustainable development goals agreed by all countries in the world. Indonesia presently ranks 82nd out of 163 nations in terms of SDG accomplishment, indicating that there is still plenty of potential for improvement. One of the goals that hasn't been accomplished is ‘no poverty’. Regarding the poverty cases, among all province in Indonesia, East Kalimantan is important to be analyzed, because Penajam Paser Utara and Kutai Kartanegara in East Kalimantan are scheduled to become Indonesia's next capital, Nusantara. The goal of this research is to investigate the variables that influence poverty in East Kalimantan and determine the effectiveness of poverty alleviation in the regencies/cities in East Kalimantan. This research used indicator data of poverty from 2019-2021 retrieved from Statistics Indonesia. This research use spatial panel data analysis regression method or Geographically Weighted Panel Regression (GWPR) and Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). In GWPR model, this research compared adaptive gaussian, adaptive bisquare, adaptive exponential, fixed gaussian, fixed bisquare, and fixed exponential kernel. The findings of this investigation revealed that fixed exponential is the kernel that has lowest AIC and the highest adj-𝑅2. The variables that determine poverty of regencies/cities in East Kalimantan are expenditure per capita, life expectancy, and number of village with higher education facilities. Furthermore, according to DEA, only three cities were effective in addressing poverty: Mahakam Ulu, Paser, and Penajam Paser Utara.

Indonesia Transport Loan Projects: Development Outcome Attributions (DOA) on Unemployment, Growth, and Poverty

Muhammad A Ingratubun — 2024-05-14

Our goal was to investigate the effects of international development banks' foreign exchange loan-funded transportation projects. We examined the effects and efficacy of Indonesia's transport loan projects, which were supported by the World Bank and the Asian Development Bank (ADB), to achieve this, 67 projects of $8.85 billion in value were undertaken between 1972 and 2020. This study is significant because it is the first in the history of development assistance—after 100 years—that is based entirely on banking theories and practices, employing attribution techniques and presuming that all loans will be disbursed into Indonesia's economy. Nevertheless, the effectiveness narratives are untrue because—after being converted into Rupiah—less than 10% of the loan fund made it to Indonesia's economy. According to our analysis, the loans from both banks decreased growth by 200% and increased poverty by 220%, even if they were successful in providing jobs. The disbursement delays of five to seven years result in capital outflows of more than $26 for every $1 loan. Fixing this necessitates a 100% payout in Rupiah into Indonesia's national banking systems the same year that the loan agreements are executed.

Evaluasi Ketersediaan Ruang Terbuka Hijau dan Penerapan Konsep Kota Hijau di Provinsi DKI Jakarta

Reza Nurfadhil — 2024-05-14

DKI Jakarta Province with a high increase in development activities has implications for the conversion of urban Green Open Space (GOS) into built-up land. The importance of urban GOS can not be separated from supporting the development of the green city. The green city is a concept of realizing a sustainable city and minimizing urban landscape degradation. This research aims to evaluate the availability of urban GOS and the implementation of the green city concept in DKI Jakarta. Geographic Information System (GIS) based spatial analysis methods and remote sensing were used to evaluate the availability of urban GOS. Quantitative and qualitative analysis methods based on the Asian Green City Index (AGCI) are used to evaluate the implementation of the green city concept. The results show that GOS in DKI Jakarta has decreased, from 33.70% in 2000, 23.47% in 2010, and 19.50% in 2020. In the implementation of the green city concept, the performance of DKI Jakarta has increased. Performance in 2000 was at a below-average level (34.58%), in 2010 it was at the average level (44.85%), and in 2020 the performance increased to an above-average level (62.76%). The results showed that the increase in the implementation of the green city concept has not been followed by an increase in the quantity of urban GOS. An integrative urban planning strategy is needed in developing DKI Jakarta and oriented towards the carrying capacity of the landscape and maintaining the availability of urban GOS.
