1894년 이후 호남의 동학여당과 의병의 동향

『Hongjae Diary(1866-1911)』 is a diary written by Ki Haeng-hyeon(1843-?) who lived in Buan-gun, Jeolla-do. Ki haeng-hyeon recorded events, news, and rumors in Gobu, Taein, Namwon, and Jeonju, where the Donghak Peasant Revolution took place. He also recorded the trends of Yeonghakdang and Hwajeok, which were called the remaining forces of Donghak. The central government recognized it as a group like Donghak and the righteous army and suppressed the righteous army commander. In this way, Donghak-gun which was disbanded after the Donghak Peasant Revolution, continued its momentum as the remaining forces of Donghak, such as Yeonghakdang, Hwajeok, and Sujeok. Amid the continued suppression of the Donghak, the Iljinhoe was organized, and a person working as a Iljinhoe appeared in Buan. Iljinhoe intervened in local government authority and was also involved in the administration of village. This power of Iljinhoe was further strengthened when the Russo-Japanese War ended with Japan's victory and Japan-Korea Treaty of 1905 was signed. Since the signing of the Japan-Korea Treaty of 1905, righteous army has occurred in all parts of the country. The activities of the righteous army became stronger with the abdication of Gojong and the dissolution of the Korean army in 1907. Ki Haeng-hyeon recorded the size of the righteous army identified through newspapers, the murder or expulsion of local officials. After the Donghak Peasant Revolution, Donghak-gun in Honam returned to Yeonghakdang and continued its momentum as the remaining forces of Donghak including Hwajeok, and Sujeok. In an era when the sovereignty of the country was lost, Donghak's remaining forces were converted to righteous army by fighting against the Japanese army. Donghak-gun, suppressed by the Japanese military, rejoined the ranks of resistance against Japanese invasion as a righteous army.

Hybrid Decision Tree Method and C4.5 Algorithm for a Recommendation System in Determining Recipients of Direct Cash Assistance (BLT)

Development of a recommendation system to determine recipients of Direct Cash Assistance (BLT) using the C4.5 algorithm hybrid method and decision tree. In the current era of digitalization, the BLT program is a solution for the Indonesian government to help people affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. In this study, we propose a recommendation system that combines the C4.5 algorithm and a decision tree to increase accuracy and efficiency in determining BLT beneficiaries. Primary data was obtained through interviews and observations, while secondary data was obtained from the village administration, written reports, journals, theses and previous research. The results showed that the C4.5 algorithm and decision tree hybrid method gave good performance in determining BLT recipients. The C4.5 algorithm is used to calculate the accuracy of the training data and testing data with a ratio of 80% : 20%, while the decision tree is used to create a decision tree that classifies prospective BLT recipients. This research fills in the previous research gap regarding the recommendation system for determining BLT beneficiaries. The results of this study are expected to provide useful information for the government in making decisions regarding the BLT program, especially at the village or sub-district level. With an accurate and efficient recommendation system, financial assistance can be provided to those who really need it, helping to meet the basic daily needs of affected communities.

VILLAGE GOVERNMENTS’ CAPACITY CHALLENGES FACING HINDRANCES TO IMPLEMENTATION OF THE “RECOGNITION PRINCIPLE” IN KOLILANANG VILLAGE, EAST FLORES DISTRICT IN 2022

The principle of recognition not only corroborates and develops the unique tradition of running the village, but also reinvigorates the village to make innovations and rearrangements of its administration based on autochthonous autonomy and decentralization-based local government. This research aims to explore the capacity of village administration to implement the principle of recognition and to reveal impediments being faced, also to contribute to strengthening local capacity for solving community problems. The methods used in this research are qualitative and descriptive where data were collected through in-depth interviews and observations. The result shows that the village administration and the village consultative body both collectively and individually lack the capacity to implement the recognition principles. The inability to implement the recognition principle is caused by poor human resources of both the village administration personnel and the village consultative body. Consequently, there are no creative ideas set forth by the village administration or by the village consultative body as well as by the villagers as a whole to formulate innovative development programs or culture-based village regulations. Therefore, we need to implement capacity-building programs through training, technical assistance, socialization of regulations and well-scheduled sustainable apprenticeship in order for the village administration to design innovative development programs in accordance with the local needs and uniqueness of the village.

Community Empowerment in Transforming Household and Agricultural Waste into Valuable Products towards the Green Village Concept

It is essential to manage waste in an integrated manner, beginning at the domestic and village levels. In fact, there are still a significant number of residents who throw trash carelessly. Jurangjero village, a village in Klaten Regency, Central Java, is an example of a village that does not adequately manage its waste. In addition, the village has agricultural waste issues that require optimal utilization, including rice straw. This community service program aims to increase public awareness of organic and inorganic domestic waste management and agricultural waste management so that they can be applied appropriately to the concept of the green village. The program’s methods included field observations, waste management outreach, and training. The training included the creation of organic fertilizers, eco-bricks, plastic waste containers, and straw paper. Farmer groups and farmer women’s groups have gained an understanding of the management of domestic organic waste into organic fertilizer and compost as a result of the outreach and training activities. Karangtaruna has also gained an understanding of inorganic waste management by applying the recycling concept, which entails transforming plastic refuse into plastic pots and ecobricks. They have also grasped the production of economically valuable art paper from rice stalks. The descriptive analysis revealed that the average pre-test and posttest scores were 55.58 and 76.67, respectively. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that this community service program has increased residents’ knowledge of managing domestic and agricultural waste to create valuable products. The support of the village administration is required for sustainable waste management and the continuation of empowerment initiatives.

The utilization of village funds during the Covid-19 pandemic and the impact on community welfare in Klungkung Regency

The Village Fund Program is a central government program to improve the welfare of rural communities. Each village received a relatively large amount of village funds. However, after their Covid-19, the village funds were diverted to handling the Covid-19 problem. Village funds distributed by the government in general aim to improve the welfare of rural communities due to the unequal welfare conditions between people in rural areas and urban areas. Thus, the village fund program is also expected to eradicate the poor in rural areas. Besides, it is following sustainable development goals (Sustainable Development Goals). /SDGs). The objectives of this research are 1) To analyze the significance of differences in the use of village funds before and after the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic in Klungkung Regency; 2) to analyze the effect of using village funds in 2020 after the Covid-19 pandemic on the welfare level of villagers in Klungkung Regency.
 This research was conducted in Klungkung Regency, especially Klungkung mainland, with the classification of respondents of 3 village officials, 3 village community members, and 1 village community leader. Hence, the respondents in each village are 7 people. The number of villages on Klungkung mainland is 37 villages. Thus, the total number of respondents was 259 people throughout Klungkung Regency. The number of respondents was determined by quota sampling. The sampling technique used was accidental sampling combined with snowball sampling, which was included in the non-probability sampling. For respondents, the village apparatus used probability sampling in each village. In addition, purposive sampling was used for the required informants. Data collection methods were observation, interviews, and in-depth interviews, using descriptive statistical data analysis techniques, regression analysis, and average difference test.
 The results of the analysis showed that: 1) There was a significant difference in the use of village funds in 2019 and 2020 during the pandemic. In 2020, the use of village funds prioritized handling the Covid-19 pandemic. While the use of village funds in 2019 was used for village administration, village development, community development, and community empowerment; 2) There was a significant positive effect on the use of village funds in 2020 during the Covid-19 pandemic on the welfare level of the population in Klungkung Regency.

Research on Rural Typology Based on the Symbiotic Model of Rural Revitalization and Basic Public Services

The basic unit of rural revitalization is the village. Rural revitalization can be comprehensively promoted by using rural typology as an instrument for rural zoning planning, which is a significant factor. This study clarified the relationship between rural revitalization and basic public services, constructed evaluation index systems, and analyzed the symbiotic mode. The comprehensive development level and the symbiotic mode were incorporated to determine the type of village. The results showed the following: (1) The thriving industry and affluent life of Tangfang Town obviously contributed to its rural revitalization; the achievement of basic environmental improvement was eminent. (2) There are differences in the comprehensive development level of rural revitalization and basic public services among administrative villages, with an overall trend of “high in the north and low in the south”, corresponding to the industrial layout of “north industry and south agriculture” in Tangfang Town. (3) The symbiosis coefficients of all the administrative villages in Tangfang Town were between 0 and 0.5, and there was a positive symmetric mutualism relationship overall, indicating that basic public services have a significant impact and can effectively promote the process of rural revitalization. (4) Villages in Tangfang Town are divided into five functional areas—the comprehensive coordination area, potential improvement area, restricted development area, unbalanced allocation area, and backward guarantee area—and various types of optimization development strategies are proposed. As one of the top 100 demonstration towns for rural revitalization in Shaanxi Province, Tangfang Town plays a leading and exemplary role. Within the context of rural revitalization strategies, solving the problem of how to realize differentiated development in the next five years has become urgent. This study aimed to effectively promote the process of rural revitalization, provide theoretical guidance for scientific development in Tangfang Town, and promote research ideas for other towns in China.

Spatial optimization of rural settlements in ecologically fragile regions: Insights from a social-ecological system

Rural areas in ecologically fragile regions face obstacles of underdeveloped social economies and poor natural conditions. Existing studies on the optimization of rural settlements in ecologically fragile areas have mainly focused on regional ecological protection and have paid inadequate attention to social-economic dimensions and their interaction with ecological dimensions. We propose an analytical framework for the spatial optimization of rural settlements from a social-ecological perspective. Using Kaitong Town, located in western Jilin Province, China, as a case study, we analysed the development capacity in different villages and evaluated ecosystem resilience. Based on different spatial combinations of rural development capacity and ecosystem resilience, we divided the study area into four zones: relocation and merger; aggregation and promotion; key development; and stabilization and improvement. Rural settlements within the relocation and merger zone were identified as requiring resettlement. Two optimization directions are suggested: one to the key development zone within an adjacent village and the other to the aggregation and promotion zone within the same administrative village. The proposed analytical framework provides a scientific basis for optimizing the layout of rural settlements in ecologically fragile regions and can play an important role in realizing the sustainable development of rural areas.

Social value of the irrigation water utilization improvement program

The Cash for Work (CfW) program or known as Padat Karya Tunai (PKT) is an innovation by the central government and village governments to provide productive activities to reduce poverty and to implement sustainable development.

This research is qualitative research with a case study approach. Evaluation will be carried out from 2021 to 2022. The validity test of the data using triangulation and member checking. The research site is located in Tirtomulyo Village, Kretek District, Bantul Regency. The results of the research show that the irrigation water utilization improvement program (P3-TGAI) has proven to have created broader social values, not limited to purely technical aspects. The calculation of the SROI ratio shows that every IDR 1 invested generates IDR 1.66 of social value. Thus, the program can be said to be effective so that it can be further implemented.

Indications of Discrimination in Regional Regulation Against Migrants in Bali (Bali Regulation Number 4 of 2019)

This study aims to find out the background of the formation of Peraturan Daerah (Regional Regulation – Regional Regulation) Number 4 of 2019. The researcher found that there is an effort by the Bali provincial government to provide a legal umbrella to the Customary Village in regulating its citizens and forming awig-awig or village rules respectively as a customary village. But the migrants in Bali who are mostly Muslims in Bali feel this is a form of discrimination. To analyze this problem the author uses qualitative research. Primary data sources are from the Bali Provincial Legal Bureau, from the Village Development Office, Traditional Village administrators, and migrants in Bali. Meanwhile, migrants on the island of Bali, the majority of whom are Muslims, feel that the Adat Village regulation as the embodiment of Regional Regulation Number 4 of 2019 is a discriminatory regional regulation because it provides a legal umbrella for the implementation of fees/collections carried out by Adat Villages in Bali. There is also competition or competition such as in the economic field, migrants or tamiu who live in Bali to try their luck and make a living are considered obstacles for residents. The 2011 bombing incident was also the peak of the conflict because the perpetrators were migrants/tamiu in Bali. This research finds that the relationship between Islam and Hinduism in Bali appears to be harmonious, but in fact it is shrouded in several hidden conflicts called Pragmatic Tolerance. The contribution of this research is expected to benefit the meaning of religious moderation in the scheme of real religious tolerance in Indonesia.

Deathscapes in Borderland city negotiation between the believed primordiality of death rituals and social change among the Rongmei Naga tribe of Northeast India

ABSTRACT This paper discusses the socio-cultural transformation and challenges faced by the Rongmei tribe against the backdrop of continuous demographic growth and rapid urbanisation , inadequate planning, and shoddy policies of deathscapes in Manipur, Northeast India. It also examines the recent changes in cultural and customary practices concerning death, dignity and disposal of the dead among the Tingkao Ragwang Chapriak (TRC) group within the Rongmei tribe of Imphal. This article is the result of ethnographic fieldwork conducted from 2015 to 2020. In the last two decades, Thien (a traditional institution of Rongmei) and TRC have played significant roles in transitioning and negotiating customary practises and acquiring burial land. The analysis of this dynamic process with the concept of ‘mortal migration’ conceptualised as an extra-territorial customary rite of passage of death, is a significant contribution of this paper. It falls under what may be called extra-territorial village administration.

Community and government preparedness to reduce the risk of land fires on peatlands

Every year, land fires on peatlands in South Kalimantan occur, primarily during the dry season. Society and local authority preparation is necessary in communicating to land burning in order to lower the probability of land fires and their impact—data collection using interviews and FGDs. The number of respondents interviewed was 28, who came from the Regional Disaster Management Agency or Badan Penanggulangan Bencana Daerah (BPBD) of Banjarbaru, Forest Fire Control Brigade (Manggala Agni) of South Kalimantan Province, and the Fire Brigade of Banjarbaru. We also interviewed the Fire Care Community or Masyarakat Peduli Api (MPA), consisting of 3 village administrators and 15 MPA members. The results of the study result that fire care communities (MPA) and Fire Brigade or Barisan Pemadam Kebakaran (BPK) are always ready to be on standby in controlling land fires in their area. They cooperated with local governments to control and extinguish fires. Local governments are also on standby when fires occur. The provincial government’s infrastructure and water sources for blackouts, routinely conduct patrols and socialization with the community. However, various problems were faced, including limited water sources and infrastructure. Therefore, difficulties in dealing with disasters must be addressed to reduce the risk of broader peatland fires.
