Strategies for Strengthening Network Capacity in the Implementation of Food Security Policies at the Local Level in Indonesia

This study aims to analyze network management strategies in the interactive governance perspective in the implementation of food security policies in North Luwu Regency, Indonesia. The complexity of food security issues requires effective collaboration and interaction among various actors in the policy network. Using a qualitative approach with an explanatory case study design, this research examines seven indicators of network management strategies: network (de-)activating, constitutional reform, (de)coupling games, changing incentives, changing internal structure and position of actors, changing relations, and management by chaos. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and document analysis, involving relevant stakeholders from government agencies, farmer organizations, and private sector partners. The findings reveal that the application of network management strategies facilitates interaction among network actors and contributes to the success of interactive governance in implementing food security policies. Network (de-)activating involves the engagement of new coalitions and resource mobilization to strengthen cooperation and interaction. Constitutional reform through changes in rules and resources helps develop coordination mechanisms and strengthen policy integration. (De) coupling games demonstrate the separation of strategies carried out by various actors to support a holistic approach in achieving food security. Changing incentives through incentive interventions can increase motivation and active participation of actors in realizing food security. Changing relations indicate changes in cooperative relationships and actor roles to enhance effective collaboration. Management by chaos through the application of principles of flexibility, adaptability, and the ability to manage uncertainty can strengthen interactive governance in facing complex and dynamic challenges. This study recommends strengthening cross-sectoral collaboration, developing a structured incentive system, enhancing the capacity of farmer organizations, and optimizing the use of information technology to improve the success of interactive governance in food security policy implementation.

Multi-Parameter Approach to Determine the Floods Causes in North Luwu, South Sulawesi.

Abstract Floods occur annually in North Luwu, South Sulawesi Province, Indonesia. The exact cause of the flooding is yet to be known; thus, this study aimed to find the main factors causing floods in North Luwu using a multi-parameter approach. The methods applied are hydrological, flood susceptibility, and land use changes in the analysis. The return period and intensity duration frequency of rain (1983-2021) was used for hydrological analysis. Flood susceptibility is obtained from the processing of slope, elevation, rainfall, stream density, soil type, and land use parameters. Land use change was analyzed using the Climate Change Initiative and Land Cover (CCI LC) data in 2000 and 2015. The results of the 1-year rainfall return period in North Luwu were relatively high, namely 83 mm/day, the 2-year return period of 119 mm/day, 5 years of 142 mm/day, 10 years of 155 mm/day, and 100 years 184 mm/day. The results of the IDF analysis obtained that the early rainy hours showed an intensity of 41-46 mm/hour with a total of 259 mm/day, which was considered extreme. There is unity between the results of the correlation of flood events in 2021 with recorded rainfall of 64-153 mm/day. Flood susceptibility analysis shows the dominant high vulnerability in the downstream area of 101,337 Ha, medium vulnerability (208,545 Ha) in the middle stream, and low vulnerability of 57,719 Ha upstream. The high flood susceptibility map results followed the flood events distribution from 2017-2021, while there is a lack of change in the land use analysis.

A Inauspicious Month in Javanese Wedding Tradition in Luwu Utara, South Sulawesi: Perspective�of�Islamic�Law

Determining inauspicious days in Javanese marriage traditions is significant. Sometimes, this leads to debates and controversies from various perspectives as it is considered contrary to Islamic law. This research aims to examine the determination of inauspicious days in Javanese marriage traditions during the month of Muharram (Suro). This study employs an empirical juridical approach using theories of social change and Islamic legal theory, particularly social tradition ('urf) and public interest (maslahah). Data is collected through interviews and literature reviews. Subsequently, the data is analyzed using these theories through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing processes. The research results reveal that the determination of inauspicious days in marriage traditions is based on the societal belief in the existence of inauspicious days for couples marrying in the month of Suro. This belief is grounded in experiences and stories passed down through generations. On the other hand, the concept of maslahah refers to the welfare or benefit for humans. In the context of inauspicious days for marriage, maslahah refers to efforts to prevent conflicts between couples and families. Furthermore, from the perspective of Islamic law, prohibiting marriage in the month of Suro in North Luwu Regency is permissible because there are no prohibitions in the Quran or hadith against it. Such traditions in Islamic law are referred to as �urf shahih, which are good and permissible customs as long as they do not contradict sharia. The prohibition is valid if it is based on the motivation to obey parental advice (birr al-walidayn) and as a form of respect for deceased parents, and linking everything that happens to the will of Allah SWT. However, if the tradition contradicts sharia and harms faith, then the tradition cannot�be�practiced.
