Matching supply chain management challenges with blockchain applications

Purpose This study aims to explore the potential of blockchain technology in the field of supply chain management (SCM). The research is motivated by the emerging significance of blockchain as a disruptive technology that can potentially address a range of challenges faced by SCM professionals globally. Design/methodology/approach In our approach, this paper utilized a knock-out criteria approach to break down 150 identified challenges in SCM to a more manageable number of 12. The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) was then used to prioritize these challenges in order of their relative importance and suitability for resolution through blockchain. Findings The analysis identified key challenges to be addressed by blockchain technology in SCM. Most notably, it highlighted concerns related to price stability and global financial flows, which closely intertwine. Another significant group of issues pertains to tracking, tracing and the demonstration of sustainability, thus suggesting a substantial potential for blockchain application in these areas. The fifth notable challenge revolves around establishing ownership rights over digital assets or software. Originality/value This study identified key challenges in SCM with significant potential for blockchain intervention including price stability, global financial flows, tracking, tracing and the establishment of digital asset ownership. Research gaps exist despite notable progress in applications such as inflation control and tracking – especially in areas like ownership rights and e-commerce. The findings indicate that blockchain has the potential to address SCM challenges and that further exploration and implementation are necessary.

Kontribusi Green Sukuk pada Implementasi Tujuan Pembangunan Keberlanjutan di Indonesia

The main goal of the Islamic financial industry is falah, which is always involved in matters beneficial to the community. The Islamic finance beginning to emphasize broader social responsibility issues, such as environmental concerns. To maintain economic sustainability and protect the environment, the world faces two challenges in an increasingly complex global era. Sukuk generally refers to a certificate that has the same value as a portion or the entirety of assets to obtain returns and services within the ownership of specific assets and projects or special investment activities. SDGs aim to reduce the impact of damage through the emphasis on achieving it through collaboration between countries and sectors. library research Sustainable development not only prioritizes economic growth but also how economic activities can ensure the healthy and non-excessive use of natural resources to achieve optimal results. However, there are several issues that hinder its implementation. In a situation like various factors that hinder sustainable economic growth in Indonesia.

Unravelling the Factors of Acceptance of Violence in Marriage by Women: Insights on Deficit of Reporting Cases of Domestic Violence in Empowered Action Group (EAG) and States of South India

Globally, 30% women, in a relationship, have been experiencing both physical and sexual violence by their intimate partners, particularly in the South-East Asian region. The grave reality of violence in marriage is the acceptance and justification of wife beating by women themselves. Recent cross-sectional studies have pointed out that a woman’s acceptance of wife abuse is related to her actual experience of being a victim, such that the victims of violence are perhaps more likely to justify the behaviour. This study analyses the role, if any, played by measures of women’s autonomy, access and freedom in impacting the acceptance of wife beating in marriage by women. This is undertaken in the background of different levels of human development attained in different groups of states in India. Two groups of states are identified: (a) one group of states represented by states of South India—scoring above national average figures in all parameters of human development including measures of gender empowerment. (b) Second group of states represented by the Empowered Action Group states—scoring lower than national average figures in all parameters of human development, including measures of gender empowerment. Indicators selected related to women’s access to microcredit, freedom of movement, ownership of assets, employment status and literacy levels. In addition, the proportion of households in a state in the lowest quintile also was selected as a factor of wealth. This study further analyses the role that acceptance of violence in marriage by women plays in explaining the deficit in reporting cases of domestic violence in the selected group of states.

Effect of Women’s Involvement in Small and Medium-Scale Enterprises on their Economic Empowerment in Calabar, Cross River State

This study examined small and medium-scale enterprises and women’s economic empowerment in Calabar, Cross River State. It specifically examined the effect of women’s involvement in SMEs on their economic empowerment dimensions such as financial independence, skills development and business networking opportunities. The study adopted a cross-sectional research design. A structured questionnaire was used to obtain primary data from 337 female operators of SMEs in Calabar. The data were descriptively analyzed, while the study hypotheses were tested using simple linear regression in the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). After the analysis, it was found that women’s involvement in SMEs operations had a significant positive effect on their financial independence, skills development and business networking opportunities in Calabar. Hence, the study recommended that women in Cross River State should genuinely be supported with financial, technical and material resources to get fully involved in entrepreneurship through SMEs in order to improve their financial independence, ensuring self-employment, income generation, and asset ownership to support their families. It was also recommended that the Government of Cross River State and relevant stakeholders should introduce credible and fully-funded programmes that enable women to gain and improve valuable entrepreneurial skills to effectively engage in SME operations in order to attain sustainable economic empowerment. Additionally, the study recommended that stakeholders in the private sector, including industrialists, non-governmental organizations, and trade associations, among others should encourage female entrepreneurs to participate in networking events, professional associations, workshops and conferences in order to build valuable connections to grow their business.

Welfare effect of rice outgrower scheme participation: empirical evidence from northern Ghana

Outgrower schemes can improve farmers’ welfare by boosting farm productivity and increasing market participation. In this context, we examined the effect of participating in outgrower schemes on household welfare indicators while controlling for potential observed and unobserved biases that could influence the outcomes. To address this objective, we employed an endogenous switching regression model to analyze primary data from 555 rice farmers in northern Ghana who use irrigation. The results revealed significant effect of sex of household’s head, age, marital status, education, dependency ratio, non-farm work, extension contact, access to credit, membership of farmer group, proximity to commercial markets, distance to outgrower schemes, familiarity with scheme operations, and the geographical location of the farmer on the propensity to participate in outgrower schemes. Importantly, participation in outgrower schemes resulted in a 57.6%, 23.6%, and 48.1% increase in household consumption expenditure per capita, income per capita, and asset ownership, respectively, exceeding what participants could have gained if they had not participated. Similarly, the non-participants, would have experienced a 21.2%, 34.0%, and 26.1% increase in household consumption expenditure per capita, income per capita, and assets, respectively, if they had joined the scheme Therefore, strategies to improve farmer groups and extension services are required as they are critical channels for encouraging more farmers to participate in the schemes and thereby improving their welfare.

Analisis Kinerja Badan Amil Zakat Nasional Kabupaten Siak dalam Mengentaskan Kemiskinan

According to BPS data, the poor population in Siak district in 2022 will be 25.71 thousand people or 5.07%. An important factor that can influence the level of poverty is income. A solution from an Islamic perspective to the problem of poverty is optimizing zakat. According to Law Number 23 of 2011 concerning Zakat, it is stated that zakat is to realize community welfare and overcome poverty. One of the institutions formed by the government to manage and distribute zakat, infaq and alms is the National Zakat Amil Agency (BAZNAS). The benchmark for the success of alleviating poverty through optimizing zakat is the performance of BAZNAS. This research analyzes the performance of the Siak Regency National Zakat Amil Agency in its efforts to eradicate poverty. This research has two approaches, namely qualitative and quantitative or mixed method. Data sources used in this research include primary data, secondary data, documents and archives and literature studies. Using interview, observation and questionnaire methods, the performance of BAZNAS Siak Regency can be known through the National Zakat Index 2.0 approach. The components of this index are macro dimensions and micro dimensions. The macro dimension reflects the role of the government and society in contributing to building zakat institutions and the micro dimension describes institutional governance and the impact of zakat. The research results show that BAZNAS Siak Regency in two macro dimensions and micro dimensions obtained good performance scores. The good performance of zakat institutions will influence the results of zakat collection, distribution and utilization programs. The influence of good performance will have a direct impact on mustahik in efforts to improve their welfare which will ultimately help the government in alleviating poverty. In this research, it was found that the impact of good BAZNAS performance for mustahik was materially an increase in income and asset ownership, spiritually in the form of increased worship and awareness of zakat.

Predictors of stunting and pathway analysis for linear growth among children 2-3 years of age after a trial of small-quantity lipid-based nutrient supplements and home-installed growth charts in three districts in Zambia

Globally, 148 million children under 5 are stunted, with risk factors varying by context. Our 'Impact of Growth Charts and Nutritional Supplements on Child Growth in Zambia' (ZamCharts) trial observed persistently high rates of stunting in all treatment groups after 18-months of intervention with monthly distributions of small-quantity lipid-based nutrient supplements (SQ-LNS) and/or installation of a wall-mounted growth chart in children's homes. We sought to identify determinants of stunting and height-for-age z-score in children 27-36 months who participated in the ZamCharts endline survey (n=1911). Multi-level, log-binomial models were used to estimate univariable and multivariable prevalence ratios for predictors of stunting. Multi-level models were also used to predict height-for-age z-score (HAZ) with and without baseline HAZ (assessed at ages 2-11 months). We also conducted a path analysis using covariance analysis of linear structural equations to assess underlying and modifiable risk factors for impaired linear growth. Significant predictors of stunting in the multivariable model included: low asset ownership; being male; using biomass as cooking fuel; lower maternal height; a mother with ≤ primary education; lower baseline HAZ. and not being randomized to SQ-LNS. Significant predictors of a lower mean HAZ in the full multivariable models included all the same risk factors that predicted stunting, but also living in an urban area, having more than one child <5 years in the household and diarrhea in the previous 2 weeks. The multivariable model explained 48% of variability in endline HAZ; the strongest predictor was baseline HAZ, which explained 29% of endline HAZ variability in the univariable model. Preventing stunting in Zambia will require investments in early life (pre- and post-natal) determinants of growth trajectory as well as improving complementary feeding practices and addressing risk factors for infectious diseases; SQ-LNS can also improve linear growth and reduce stunting.

Faktor-Faktor Yang Mempengaruhi Auditor Switching Pada Perusahaan Consumer Goods Industry Yang Terdaftar Di Bursa Efek Indonesia Periode 2018-2022

Companies use independent auditors to increase the credibility of financial statements in increasing public trust and reducing agency problems, so an auditor must maintain a professional attitude in auditing. The closer relationship between auditors and management can cause auditors to trust management clients more, which may manipulate financial statements or prioritise personal interests, in which case auditor switching is necessary. The purpose of this study is to determine the factors that influence auditor switching in consumer goods industry companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) for the period 2018-2022. The research method used is a quantitative approach with purposive sampling method and the analytical tool used in the research is logistic regression analysis. Data processing in this study using SPSS V.20 from secondary data. The population in this study were consumer goods industry companies listed on the IDX. This study used 44 samples of companies, during 5 years of observation 220 reports were analysed. The results of this study prove that simultaneously management change, institutional ownership, leverage, and Return of Assets (ROA) affect auditor switching. Partially, leverage affects auditor switching. Management turnover, institutional ownership, and ROA partially have no effect on auditor switching.

THE IMPACT OF POSTNUPTIAL AGREEMENT ON HUSBAND AND WIFE'S OWNERSHIP IN LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY

&lt;p&gt;Husband and wife who do not enter into a marriage agreement cannot establish a limited liability company with just the two of them, because in terms of ownership of assets, their assets constitute as one unit of joint property. Therefore the provision that a limited liability company is a capital association is not fulfilled. They then invite third parties, whether it's their own children or other third parties to become shareholders. Third parties like this are generally only invited to comply with statutory provisions and the number of shares they have in a company is usually also very small. The decision of the Constitutional Court number 69/PUU-XIII/2015 has an impact on many husbands and wives who are not also in mixed marriages to also make the marriage agreement. This study aims to see the impact of the shares owned by husband and wife if they then make a postnuptial agreement, whether the presence of a third party in the company still needed or not considering that between them there has been a separation of assets. The method used in this research is normative juridical. The result of this research is that if the husband and wife enter into a postnuptial agreement, then the participation of third parties is no longer necessary because they are already separate property owners, and shares previously owned by third parties can be transferred to one or both of them.&lt;/p&gt;

Shaping childhood obesity: behavioral and environmental risk factors associated with body mass index trajectories between 2 and 9 years in Samoan children.

Pacific children are at high obesity risk, yet the behavioral and environmental factors that contribute to obesity development in this setting remain poorly understood. We assessed associations between childhood risk factors for obesity with body mass index (BMI) trajectories between ages 2-9 years in Samoa. In a prospective cohort of 485 children from 'Upolu, we measured weight and height at ages 2-4 (2015), 3.5-8 (2017-18), and 5.5-11 years (2019-20). Modern dietary pattern adherence was assessed using factor analysis of primary caregiver-reported food frequency questionnaire data. Physical activity was estimated with the Netherlands Physical Activity Questionnaire. Socioeconomic resources were assessed using an 18-item household asset score. Urbanicity was based on village residence. Associations of these risk factors with predicted weight, height, and BMI (at 1-year intervals and velocity) were assessed using multilevel cubic spline regressions. Females had greater adjusted weight velocity with high modern dietary pattern adherence compared to low (p-value for interaction with age spline term 1 = 0.028 and age spline term 2 = 0.007). Starting at age 3 years, children with higher physical activity had higher BMI, but this association was not meaningful up to age 9 (all p-value > 0.05). Males with very high compared to low household assets had higher BMI from age 2 to 4 years (95% CI: 0.26-1.53 kg/m2, p = 0.006) and greater BMI velocity (p-value for interaction with age spline term 2 = 0.001). Males in the urban region had the greatest BMI gain after age 5 compared to the rural region (p-value for interaction with age spline term 2 = 0.014). High, centile-crossing BMI trajectories suggest that obesity prevention and intervention are needed among Samoan children before age 9 years. Positive associations between high modern dietary pattern adherence, greater asset ownership, and urbanization offer initial insights into who, and which behavioral risk factors, should be prioritized in implementing public health solutions.

Identifying NFT consumer segments: a consumption value theory and luxury perspective

PurposeThe present research takes a qualitative approach to examine young adult consumers’ perceptions and intentions toward non-fungible tokens (NFTs). The goal of the study is to identify consumer sub-segments of young adults based on their perceptions of/intentions toward NFTs.Design/methodology/approachThis research utilized qualitative/thematic analysis.FindingsThe results revealed three sub-segments of young adults with different perceptions of NFTs. The largest group, Authenticators, perceive NFTs as luxurious digital possessions that are prestigious, have premium prices and are high quality. They are most likely to be early/late majority, but some are innovators/early adopters. The second-largest group, Pessimists, hold negative views about NFTs, seeing them as fads, silly and/or a waste of time and believing that investing in them is risky. These individuals are most likely to be laggards in terms of adoption. The smallest group, Futurists, hold forward-thinking views about NFTs. They are most likely to see themselves as innovators/early adopters, think of NFTs as the future of asset ownership, investment and digital life, and do not perceive them as overly risky.Originality/valueThe findings add to the scant literature on NFTs in marketing by documenting three potential sub-segments of young adult consumers for NFTs. NFT marketers should take care in effectively marketing NFTs’ value and addressing their risks to consumers as they relate to the identified consumer segments.

Negligible impact of supermarkets on food security (so far) in low-income neighborhoods of Accra, Ghana

In recent years, African policymakers have embraced supermarket development as a form of food system modernization, but the impacts of the proximity of supermarkets on low-income households in a developing African city are largely unexplored. Using a sample of 680 households in seven of Accra’s poorer neighborhoods, we examine the dimensions and level of food security, household-level determinants, and what impact, if any, the arrival of supermarkets has had on local food security. Using two internationally accepted food-security metrics, (Food Consumption Score and Household Food Insecurity Access Scale), two economic measures (income equivalence and asset ownership), and satellite imagery of supermarket locations, we find that physical proximity to supermarkets is not significantly associated with household food security in low-income areas of Accra. The majority of poor households in Accra are currently food secure, but asset ownership is a much stronger predictor of food security than income. The relatively high degree of food security in Accra is likely related to credit-based relationships that households have with local food vendors. Further, given that supermarkets can compete with these so-called “informal” vendors for access to public space, these credit-based relationships will suffer with new supermarket development. Our study highlights the need for nuanced understanding regarding the role of consumer-retailer and retailer-retailer relationship in ensuring food access for low-income households in urban Africa.

Prospects for the Application of Unexplained Wealth Order in the Forfeiture of Assets Proceeds of Corruption in Indonesia

This research focuses on discussing two things, namely (1) how the legal politics of regulating asset forfeiture for corruption crimes in Indonesia and (2) what are the prospects for applying the unexplained wealth order in asset forfeiture for corruption crimes in Indonesia. in this study it was found that: first, the legal politics of asset forfeiture for corruption crimes in Indonesia is still mainly oriented towards the process of asset forfeiture based on conviction, asset forfeiture can only be carried out if there is a judge's decision that is legally binding. However, if in the course of a criminal case there are difficulties in proof, the defendant dies in the judicial process, and after a court decision with permanent legal force it is known that there are assets or assets owned by the perpetrator that are the proceeds of crime, a civil lawsuit can be filed. however, it is different from the concept of unexplained wealth contained in the Criminal Asset Forfeiture Bill which has a broader dimension of civil filing. And the filing of a civil lawsuit is not an alternative to the criminal justice process. Asset forfeiture lawsuits through the criminal process can be filed before, during and after criminal judgements, in order to avoid obfuscation and the disappearance and conversion of assets resulting from corruption crimes. Secondly, the prospect of implementing unexplained wealth in Indonesia has existed through the establishment and drafting of the Criminal Asset Forfeiture Bill. However, this bill is not equipped with the obligation to reverse the burden of proof, which is identical to the proof of ownership of assets contained in the Anti-Corruption Law. In the future, it is necessary to equalise the reversal of the burden of proof that should be carried out by the owner of the asset to facilitate the proof process and assist the legal apparatus.

Ontology Development for Asset Concealment Investigation: A Methodological Approach and Case Study in Asset Recovery

The concealment of assets is a critical challenge in financial fraud and asset recovery investigations, posing significant obstacles for creditors and regulatory authorities. National governments commonly possess the necessary data for detecting and combating this type of fraud, typically related to personal data and asset ownership. However, this information is often dispersed across different departments within the same government and sometimes in databases shared by other countries. This leads to difficulty semantically integrating this large amount of data in various formats and correlating entities through identifying hidden relationships, which are essential in this type of analysis. In this regard, this work proposes an ontology to support the data integration process in the domain of asset concealment and recovery and fill the gap in the existence of a public ontology for this domain. The applicability of this ontology in the context of integration between data from different departments and countries was validated. The use of the ontology in a pilot project in the context of a tool for investigating this type of fraud was conducted with a Brazilian government agency, and the users validated its applicability. Finally, a new method for constructing ontologies is proposed. The proposed process was evaluated during the asset concealment ontology building and proved to be more suitable than the similar processes analyzed concerning the partial reuse of existing ontologies and the construction of ontologies for data with a transnational scope.

Transparency of asset ownership and its importance for the real sector of the economy

Beneficial ownership creates risks for third parties and the beneficiaries themselves, as well as for the international and national economy as a whole. Transparency of asset ownership is of particular importance for the real sector, which contains the most important production and other resources for the interests of the country. The global trend towards transparency as a condition for access to various transactions and legal actions is manifested in domestic legislation and judicial practice through the use of various legal mechanisms (mainly encouraging beneficiaries to disclose the ownership structure of assets). The interdisciplinary significance of the category of “beneficial ownership” requires the development of a uniform approach to determining the legal status of beneficial owners and controlling persons.

COVID-19 and its effects on food producers: panel data evidence from Burkina Faso.

Burkina Faso implemented stringent measures in response to the COVID-19 pandemic that profoundly affected its economy and might have exacerbated food insecurity. While prior studies have assessed the impact of these measures on consumers, there is a dearth of evidence of its effects on food producers in Sub-Saharan Africa. This study aims (i) to evaluate the repercussions of COVID-19 on the possession of food production assets and on the number of livestock owned; and (ii) to determine the correlation between the food insecurity experience scale (FIES) score, ownership of these assets, and the number of livestock owned. This study employs a pre-post comparison design in two panels of randomly selected households in Burkina Faso. While Panel A was constituted of 384 households predominantly (76%) living in rural areas, Panel B comprised 504 households, only half of which (51%) lived in rural areas. All households were visited twice: in July 2019 and February 2021, for Panel A, and in February 2020 and February 2021, for Panel B. Panel B was added to the study before the pandemic thanks to additional funding; the timing of the survey was harmonized in both panels for the second round. Regression models were used with fixed effects at the household level, controlling for potential time-invariant confounding variables, and correlation coefficients between possession of production assets or number of livestock and FIES score were measured. Our findings indicate that the possession of some assets in Panel A (cart, livestock, bicycle, watch) was significantly reduced during the pandemic, as was the herd sizes among livestock-owning households in both panels. Households with fewer production assets and number of livestock were more likely to experience food insecurity. This study underscores the vulnerability of rural households in Burkina Faso to the economic disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Addressing the challenges faced by farming and livestock-owning households is crucial for mitigating food insecurity and improving resilience in the face of ongoing crises.

Analysing Delhi’s Prosperity: A Brief Commentary

Delhi is a historical hub for regional, national and international commerce and a place for the socio-political elites. The city is widely considered to be prosperous. This study is an attempt at understanding Delhi’s affluence using both existing literature and data from Aspirational India, Consumer Pyramids Household Survey, 2024, Economic Survey of Delhi, 2023–2024 and Multiple Indicator Survey, 2020–2021. The city of Delhi faces significant challenges in terms of housing quality, access to clean drinking water, electricity connections and asset ownership among different socio-economic groups. It is essential to work towards making these facilities and assets more equitable and accessible to all its residents. Furthermore, enhancing coordination among various levels of government is crucial to ensure a better quality of life for all individuals living in the city. Addressing the pressing issue of limited prosperity in Delhi requires urgent attention and action, given the financial struggles faced by its residents on a daily basis.

Tinjauan Yuridis Hak Royalti Sebagai Harta Bersama dalam Perkawinan

There are two concepts regarding marital assets according to the legal system in Indonesia, namely in the form of personal assets and joint assets. The correlation between marital property and IPR includes the legal and economic relationship between joint ownership of certain assets and the protection of creative or innovative rights. This research was conducted using normative research methods using statutory, conceptual and case approaches. The purpose of this research is to find out the position of royalties as marital property according to marriage law in Indonesia and to find out about the legal measures that can be taken by the parties regarding royalty rights as marital property in the event of a divorce. The research show that Copyright is a material right, so it can be concluded that Royalties fall into the category of intangible movable objects. Royalties which are intangible movable objects have value as joint assets. Then, dispute resolution regarding joint assets can be carried out through litigation and non-litigation processes. In practice, the division of joint assets can usually be resolved amicably, but if there is no agreement it will result in a legal process involving filing a lawsuit with the Religious Court. In terms of the division of marital property, it is regulated in the Civil Code, Marriage Law, and the Compilation of Islamic Law and the judge's considerations are based on the value of justice.

Health in the age of asset manager capitalism.

A relatively small number of for-profit asset managers-financial intermediaries that invest capital on behalf of other investors-have emerged in recent decades to become some of the most influential commercial actors in the global political economy. Despite their important role in society, asset managers have received little attention from a public health perspective. In this article, we aimed to propose a conceptual framework of potential pathways and mechanisms through which asset managers may influence health and equity. The framework included asset class-specific pathways related to investments in publicly listed corporate equity, private equity, 'real assets' (e.g. housing, hospitals, farmland) and commodities. The framework also included more generalized pathways, focusing on ways in which the large and highly concentrated asset management sector can drive economic inequities, influence policy and political decision-making and shape the global 'development' agenda. We argue that measures challenging so-called 'asset manager capitalism', such as promoting and protecting the public ownership of companies and assets in essential sectors, are imperative to address the commercial determinants of ill health and inequity.

PLANNING AND JOURNALING THE AGROPOLITAN PROJECT: A FOCUS ON INCOME ANALYSIS FOR POVERTY ALLEVIATION

Although Malaysias poverty rate has decreased, there are still people who suffer from extreme poverty, especially in rural areas. The agropolitan project under the Rural Mega Leap Program (PLMLB) is a program aimed at eradicating extreme poverty and expediting progress in rural regions. The achievements of agropolitan projects are evaluated through the extent to which they help participants to get out of extreme poverty and are measured using Poverty Line Income (PGK). However, PGK only takes into account income and consumption and does not take into account non-monetary aspects such as living conditions, basic facilities and so on. Therefore, this research intends to examinethe effects of the implementationof this project on the participants in eradicating poverty and towards a sustainable livelihood. Multidimensional Poverty Index (IKPD) is used to measure poverty in this study along with its applicationof PGK. A study using the Sustainable Livelihood Framework (KPL), was conducted at the Gahai Agropolitan Project in Lipis, Pahang, involved 45 participants. Research data was obtained through the distribution of questionnaires and analyzed using SPSS version 22 software and Microsoft Excel. Studies show that theproposed project is useful to eradicating poverty and contributing to sustainable livelihoods. Calculation of the Multidimensional Poverty Index (IKPD) shows that the individuals involved are not subjected to multidimensional poverty.In addition, the participants are also exempted from extreme poverty and experience increased income within five years of participating in the Gahai Agropolitan Project. From the aspect of sustainable living, the results of the study show that the participants experience high vulnerability. Analysis of asset ownership shows that the participants of theAgropolitan Project have good asset ownership. Analysis of the regression model of income determinants for the participants demonstrate that financial assets are an important factor affecting income. According to the findings of this study, there are several recommendations for policy implications to evaluate participants or non-participants of agropolitan projects, which is to consider the Sustainable Livelihood Framework (KPL) in rural development and use the Multidimensional Poverty Index (IKPD) as a complement to the PGK.
