Mapping Vulnerability to Flood in Urbanizing Watershed: The Case of Surakarta Urban Region

The vulnerability of urban areas to flooding increased along with the rapid urbanization process. The study selected the Subosukawonosraten (Surakarta, Boyolali, Sukoharjo, Karanganyar, Wonogiri, Sragen, and Klaten) Region as a case study to assess the vulnerability. The ESA framework: exposure, sensitivity, and adaptability—is applied. Exposure is examined using the built-up index in 2020. Sensitivity is assessed based on population density in 2020. Additionally, precipitation and topography are also discussed. The study uses hot spot analysis to pinpoint the most populated and developed areas of the region, which are Surakarta and its peri-urban. Following that, the study investigates to what extent urban villages situated in this hot spot can adapt in light of the floods that often occur in the region. The findings imply that, primarily because of rapid urbanization, the strategy to deal with vulnerability should be considered an important regional-scale strategy that should integrate technical and community-based development approaches to establish a more sustainable strategy for resiliency.

The Role of Community Reading Park as A Smart Solution in Increasing The Interest in Reading at Pamupukan Village

Co-producing affordable housing futures: tools for community participation

Archio interviewed by Dhruv Sookhoo and Ava LynamKyle Buchanan and Mellis Haward, directors of architectural practice Archio, reflect on their experience developing a toolkit of practices that facilitate co-design of community-led housing.In this interview, Buchanan and Haward examine the participatory approaches that Archio adopts to negotiate the delivery of enhanced housing outcomes [1]. They describe building trust with residents by interpreting their lived experiences and aspirations through architectural knowledge and practices. Discussion focuses on the co-production of design artefacts as tools that enable community stakeholders to negotiate shared ambitions for their neighbourhood within community-based development and regulatory processes (e.g. development management).In 2016, Archio was invited by London Community Land Trust and Citizens UK to compete for the opportunity to design and deliver eleven affordable homes on a disused garage site at Brasted Close, in Lewisham, London [2]. Unusually, a “Pick an Architect” workshop was held on the development site, where the public was able to evaluate prospective architectural teams for their ability to engage future residents and neighbouring communities in the collective examination of fundamental socio-spatial aspects of the project. Archio’s successful approach at the pioneering community land trust at Brasted Close anticipated their development of a toolkit of practices that emphasise collaboration during community-led development of affordable housing. These design tools were refine through use across a series of later commissions including a co-housing project at Angel Yard, Norwich and a resident-led estate regeneration scheme at Astley Estate, Southwark.

Pepe Boyolali River: Analysis of Water Quality Using the Pollution Index Method

This study uses the pollutant index method to determine the form of river utilization by the surrounding community and the level of river water pollution. The research method used in this study is qualitative and quantitative analysis. Qualitative descriptive analysis method is used to analyze the form of river utilization by the community. Analysis of river water quality used quantitative method which refers to the Decree of the Minister of Environment 115/2003 concerning Determination of Water Quality Status using the Pollution Index (PI) method. The results of the analysis show that the community uses the Pepe River as a source of water and rainwater storage, waste disposal sites, fishing grounds, drainage channels, and agricultural irrigation. So that it has the potential to experience water pollution due to the entry of domestic-industrial waste. Based on PI, the flow of the Pepe River is proven to be lightly polluted, with the results of several parameter measurements showing results above the quality standard. Therefore, one of the recommendations that can be applied to overcome these problems is to develop the concept of Community-Based Development by involving the active role of all society levels in planning and implementing river management and development activities.

Developing a University Extension Programs Gateway Services Information System: A Baseline Survey

Universities are increasingly adopting and engaging in social responsibility awareness activities. University Social Responsibility (Hollister, R. 2016) are manifested in universities through implementing extension programs that enable them to associate with different beneficiaries. With the help of technology, people are able to access enormous amounts of information in a more convenient way. Thus, the use of technology would be able to address the need for social responses of the university to be more effective. The main objective of the study is to develop a system gateway for universities, beneficiaries, and sponsors of extension services. The research design used in the study is quasi-experimental design. The proponent conducted this study among the faculty members of Quezon City University totalling to 50 respondents. Whereas the proponent applied the Agile Development Model in building the prototype of the Gateway Services Information System, and used PHP and MySQL to develop the software. Based on the findings, the study concluded that: the respondents agreed that the continuous engagement of social responsibility programs provide a positive impact on both the university and the beneficiaries, and recommended that such usage of a gateway system will bring more ease and effectively of the process, resulting to a more positive impact. Overall, the respondents find the extension programs as effective. The findings suggest that respondents perceive capability training program, community outreach program, and high-impact, long-term integrated community-based development program as effective for the beneficiary, and it is recommended that such programs should be expanded to a more sets of program options and types. The respondents also agreed that strategies in implementing extension service programs are successful, and it is suggested that the gateway information system should have a more complex communication capable of catering such preparation activities for implementation. The respondents also strongly agreed that the key factors are critical and important for sustainability and is recommended that such complex planning and management of an extension program should be catered by the system. Overall, the assessment of the respondents agreed that the gateway software is capable of addressing the needs of both universities and beneficiaries, and it is recommended that the gateway information system will be accessible to all possible educational institutions which seek to give aid to beneficiaries.

An adaptive social forestry model in West Papua based on cultural forests and the main potential of NTFPS: Theory and practice

The presence of the Job Creation Law Number 11 of 2020 opened a new discourse on social forestry policy in Indonesia. The discourse on the concept of forest resource management is used as the basis for the theory and practice of local community-based development. The purpose of this paper is to develop a model of adaptive natural resource management for the development of site-scale social forestry. As potential superior Non-Timber Forest Products (NTFPs), the types of Papuan nutmeg and black fruit have been utilized by local communities for generations. A mixed method using descriptive system analysis was used in developing the concept of cultural forest. The results of the study found that a cultural-forest-based adaptive natural resource management scenario in West Papua from case studies on the use of nutmeg in Fakfak and black fruit districts in Teluk Wondama district can be designed as a model for social forestry at the site level. The three landscape typologies of natural forest habitat, secondary forest and home gardens are a systemic-holistic unit that demonstrates certainty of access and ownership for determining site-scale social forestry schemes in West Papua.

Community Development for Bote in Chitwan National Park, Nepal: A Political Ecology of Development Logic of Erasure

The conflict between development and conservation concerns is a perennial topic in sustainable development, and especially significant for marginalized social groups. In Nepal, fortress conservation in protected areas (PA) gave way to a community-based development and natural resource management (CBNRM) narrative of inclusion and participation in so-called buffer zone (BZ) initiatives around national parks. Studies to date show mixed outcomes of the community-based model for marginalized communities, especially for traditional indigenous river and forest dwellers. Academic and government reports of successes and failures of community-based projects in Nepal assume progress is based on traditional indigenous livelihood practices being abandoned and participation in state modernization initiatives in parks and reserves. Thus, despite promises of participation, evidence to date shows a de facto continuation of fortress conservation thinking and erasure of customary knowledge and livelihoods. Based on an ethnographic inquiry informed by political ecology conducted in two villages of Bote IPs (in the buffer zone area) of the Nawalparasi District of Chitwan National Park (CNP), we describe how state interventions and regulations under the guise of community-based participation actively ignore the moral ecology of traditional riverine livelihoods while pursuing a modernization project. Echoing calls by other scholars and stakeholders, we argue that a new approach to conservation and development that respects the environmental ethics of traditional livelihoods is long overdue in Nepal.

The Concept of Slum Management Become A Tourism Zone In Kendari City

This study aims to assess to find out how the public views the handling of slums in the Kendari City Coastal Area and how the sustainability of slum handling. This research is classified as a qualitative research type, by analyzing the area to be studied because this research is classified as an exploratory research type, by describing the condition and situation of the area that is the object of research. To answer the first research objective related to the pattern of slum handlers, a survey was conducted to find out the pattern of handling slums in Kendari City, carried out by analyzing data sourced from literature and reports on the results of treatment. and for the second problem an analysis will be carried out on the next plan for handling slums. In this case the researcher will conduct a qualitative analysis, by describing based on the documentation materials of the results of the research. The results of the study show that sustainability by the community is carried out by the community beneficiaries of the program, with the existence of a Planning Document made by the Community through BKM which aims to make the implementation of Slum Management sustainable. Analysis of the impact received by the community by comparing the conditions of the settlements before and after the implementation of the slum management program based on the determinants of the criteria (physical and non-physical) and the established indicators obtained an illustration that the community received a significant impact. Analysis of increasing knowledge, even though the nuances of the project are very thick, but the principles of measurable empowerment with predetermined achievements are carried out in accordance with existing regulations, so that clashes of thought between empowerment goals versus project goals can be minimized and Community capacity building analysis can be it was found that increasing community capacity was described by the preparation of a Settlement Environmental Management Plan (RPLP) document which was compiled as a guideline based on the aspirations, needs and ideals of the community to improve the environmental conditions of their settlements. In particular, the results of this study illustrate that in an effort to turn slum areas into tourist areas, the pattern of handling slums is shown by emphasizing the need for an intensive program in handling slums in Kendari City, in an integrated, comprehensive and holistic way, namely: Integrated pattern of handling, which is integrated by applying the concept of community-based development (CBD) development, Redevelopment, Revitalization (physical, environmental, social, economic, cultural), as well as efforts to apply the principles of Urban Sustainable Development, so that slum areas can maintain their environment and at the same time have economic value tourist area.

Beyond the Buzzword: A Framework for an Indigenous Relational Evaluation in Traditional Communities in Ghana

The notions of indigenous knowledge and cultural philosophies are becoming ubiquitous in many social inquiries, and evaluation is no exception. Nonetheless, the pursuit to embed relevant indigenous philosophies in contemporary evaluation has yet to succeed. In this article, we discuss indigenous relational philosophies, approaches, and practices as they relate to evaluation. Using qualitative research approaches, we interviewed 43 Indigenous development leaders and other local representatives in three local government areas in Ghana. Utilizing evidence synthesis approaches through a triangulation process, we conclude that indigenous knowledge and other cultural ethos were distinct in community-based development evaluation processes. There was an elusive intersection between indigenous and contemporary evaluation paradigms. Indigenous evaluation has principles such as community spirit, mutual trust, self-organization, relational patterns or networks, “ubuntu” ideals, consensus building, and collective action that can complement contemporary evaluation for the effective and efficient evaluation of community development programs and social policies. We identify key indigenous elements and other indigenous relational assessment patterns to aid in the design of an indigenously driven relational evaluation framework. The evaluative competencies embedded in indigenous philosophies are vast, thus, a call for future research is proposed.

Niger Delta Indigenes’ Perception of Community Participation in The Development Communication Strategies and Practices of Oil Companies in Nigeria

This study adopts the principles that underpin participatory development communication in order to highlight the ideology that guides oil corporations’ development communication practices and strategies in Nigeria. The study specifically examines the usage of Global Memorandums of Understanding (GMoUs) by oil firms to engage people in community-based development initiatives. Given Shell and Chevron's stranglehold in onshore, shallow, and deep-water exploration and development in Nigeria, 16 oil-producing localities in their operational zones were chosen at random for the study. The study's design was cross-sectional and drew from survey procedures. 400 respondents were selected through a multistage selection approach from the study’s population for the purposes of data collection and analysis. The study found that although indigenes of the Niger Delta are aware of the GMoUs programmes, they lack the knowledge to take part in them. Thus, the Niger Delta indigenous people claim that the GMoUs programmes are self-serving and need to be carefully adapted to satisfy the desire of the people for bottom-up induced development. The study suggests that development communication experts be involved in the conception and implementation of the ideas because the GMoU model, which oil companies adopted, was flawed in its conception due to a potential lack of sufficient literature review for development agents to gain the understanding needed to guide implementation.

Community-Based Development in the Project of Clean Water Networks in West Papua: Comparative Case Study

Access to clean water is a basic right for the community, but the fulfillment of this basic right is often constrained by difficult geographical conditions. The existence of community development programs through CSR can be an entry point in fulfilling access to clean water, especially in remote locations. This research is a comparative case study between the practice of implementing the CSR Program in providing access to clean water which is carried out by 2 companies located in the same location, namely between company X which is engaged in oil and gas exploration, and company Y which is engaged in oil processing. The study was conducted using a qualitative descriptive method with data collection carried out through in-depth observation by researchers and direct interviews in the period from March to November 2021. As a result, the community-based development approach carried out by company Y was more successful and was able to increase community participation in program management. In addition, community participation is also able to increase the involvement of local communities with their customs in managing the sustainability of the program.

REVITALIZATION COMMUNITY-BASED DEVELOPMENT IN THE REGION

This study aims to analyze the importance of community-based development in the regions so that the process of implementing development in the regions (in particular, in rural areas) to catch up with urban areas can occur without damaging the joints of decent human life that still exist in the local rural community. For this reason, it is necessary to reposition the public service apparatus (bureaucrats in the region) so that they can conduct their services quickly and precisely, for the benefit of the local community, under sociocultural compatibility. Thus, it is possible to avoid building technocratic structures and mechanisms without efforts to understand the social fabric of a particular area and without efforts to adapt them to the sociocultural context. With the current decentralized and democratic government system in effect, the opportunity to revitalize community-based development is possible to spur it in regions (in particular, rural areas) and catch up with urban areas so that the improvement of the country's economy and the welfare of the people, can be felt by all the Indonesians in all corners of this country. Novelty in this study is community-based development based on the community's local culture with the application of Technology 4.0.
