Determining Prospective Recipients of The Indonesia Smart Scholarship Program Using The Support Vector Machine Algorithm and Simple Additive Weighting

Between the period from 2018 to the first semester of 2020, a total of 2.4 million students who owned the Kartu Indonesia Pintar (Indonesia Smart Card) were at risk of not being able to access the Program Indonesia Pintar due to delays in entering recipient data, misdirected targeting, and fund disbursement obstacles. During its implementation, there were issues with inaccurate data of Kartu Indonesia Pintar recipients, resulting in the beneficiaries not being entirely targeted correctly. According to Article 12 of Minister of Education and Culture Regulation No. 10 of 2020, schools, as educational units, are assigned the responsibility of managing the Smart Indonesia Program at the school level. This includes tasks such as proposing eligible student candidates for the Program based on criteria, monitoring and assisting the smooth process of receiving the benefits, and accommodating students who hold the Kartu Indonesia Pintar (KIP). However, schools faced difficulties in obtaining the eligibility data of potential Indonesia Pintar Program recipients through the school proposal format. The objective of this research is to determine the eligibility of potential Indonesia Pintar Program recipients using a combination of Support Vector Machine (SVM) and Simple Additive Weighting (SAW) techniques. The SVM model was trained using kernel tricks and parameter selection (C and gamma) based on data sourced from the DAPODIK application of students in SMK Negeri 1 Kota Bekasi for the academic years 2020/2021 to 2022/2023, with a dataset containing 2499 rows . This dataset was used to determine the eligibility of potential Indonesia Pintar Program recipients. The SAW method was then employed to calculate scores based on the weighting of attributes possessed by the students, which were subsequently ranked from the highest score. The Linear Kernel with parameter values C=0.1 and gamma=0.1 achieved an accuracy of 88.8% during the classification of test data, using 10% of the total dataset, which amounted to 250 rows of data. The combination of SVM and SAW methods resulted in the classification of eligibility for potential Indonesia Pintar Program recipients, ranked based on their scores using the weighted assessment with the SAW method.

Analysis of the Healthy Family Index: The Impact of Implementing the Healthy Indonesia Program with Family Approach

The Healthy Indonesia Program with Family Approach (PIS-PK) is a primary initiative enforced by the current government to enhance the quality of family life and public health. In this context, the assessment of the Healthy Family Index (IKS) is essential for implementing appropriate interventions and efforts to prevent chronic diseases at the family level. Measurement indicators of IKS include healthy, pre-healthy, and unhealthy family categories. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze IKS based on PIS-PK in Jeneponto Regency, South Sulawesi in Indonesia. A quantitative design with an analytical survey was used to measure IKS across the entire family population in the Jeneponto Regency Health Center working area, totaling 1,321 households. The total sampling method was applied, and data from 12 healthy family indicators were evaluated following the IKS formula. The results showed that the average IKS value ranged from 0.59 to 0.77, representing unhealthy, pre-healthy, and healthy family, which constituted 12%, 54.35%, and 33.5% of the examined population, respectively. High numbers of family fell in the pre-healthy and unhealthy categories due to limited participation in family planning program (55.11%), non-utilization of official facilities for childbirth (11.65%), lack of exclusive breastfeeding practices over 7–23 months (10.14%), and absence of weight monitoring at Posyandu (5.59%). Consequently, integrated efforts and cross-sectoral engagement are crucial for improving IKS status.

LOCAL ECOLOGICAL KNOWLEDGE AND IT’S BENEFIT TO CONSERVATION PROGRAMS IN INDONESIA

Conservation efforts in Indonesia in the last decade have been using many strategies to integrate Local Ecological Knowledge (LEK). Recognition of the role of local communities and indigenous peoples is part of efforts to mitigate climate change and the current biodiversity crisis. The mapping of the contribution of local ecological knowledge in forest management approaches for biodiversity conservation is very important. This study aims to describes the contribution of local ecological knowledge (LEK) adaptation in conservation programs in Indonesia. This research method uses a qualitative approach with an ethnoecological strategy. The research locations were in three local communities in Indonesia, namely: the Nusa Lembongan community in Bali, the Tobelo community in Halmahera, Maluku, and the Urang Kanekes/Bedouin community in Lebak, West Java. Local ecological knowledge contributes to resilience in the face of climate change, and how indigenous peoples ensure harmony between social capital, the forest environment, and forest use can be of particular concern to face the challenge of achieving zero hunger. This is related to forest ecosystems managed by indigenous peoples showing better results in sustainability based on environmental and social sustainability principles. This study shows that forest management processes based on local ecological knowledge (LEK) can be an alternative approach to biodiversity conservation. Local ecological knowledge shows an emphasis on the ongoing process of experience-based knowledge in communities that utilize the environment. The contribution of studies on LEK adaptation as dynamic knowledge can be used as a more flexible conservation approach and evaluation of forest conservation programs in Indonesia in relating to ecosystem adaptation. The finding of this study was important to LEK integration into the conservation program so it will become more adaptive and flexible to the changes. Understanding the dynamic characterization of LEK has benefit to conservation program that is based on community and participatory.

Fostering empowerment and building capacities of rural women through community-based agroindustry: A case study in Donowarih Village, Indonesia

Donowarih village, located in Malang Regency, East Java, Indonesia, is closed to the Universitas Brawijaya’s Educational Forest (known as UB Forest). The village has various potential local commodities such as orange fruits and batik. During harvesting season, the price of orange fruits declined, and inadequate storage system has led to a rapid deterioration of orange fruits. Furthermore, various problems faced by the community, such as poverty and lack of knowledge/skills, are becoming the major challenges to be tackled. On the other hand, orange fruits and batik are potential to be diversified into high value-added products, which can be done through the introduction of post-harvesting technology and trainings for skills improvement. Furthermore, the Indonesian Government program of one village one product (OVOP) is becoming key drivers to any community engagement program in Indonesia.

Comparison of social capital of different community forest managements and their impact on community participation in the Social Forestry (SF) Program in Indonesia

Social Forestry (SF) Program is a sustainable forest management implemented in different management types by community forest organizations (CFOs) in Indonesia, namely collective and individual management types. This study aimed (1) to compare the social capital of different management types of the SF program; and, (2) to evaluate the relationship between social capital and community participation. The study was carried out in four CFOs in four villages in North Sumatra Province from 2019 to 2020.The data were collected from 73 respondents from the collective type and 113 respondents from the individual type. T-test was used to evaluate the social capital of the different management types, while the relationship between social capital and participation was evaluated by multiple regression analysis. This study found that the CFOs that implement a collective management possess a better social capital compared to an individual management. The collective management has more intensive meetings that can increase social interactions. The collective management also possess the wider networks and the more varied community activities that improve the social capital of the CFOs. The community features such as the more homogenous communities and the smaller size of the collective type communities may cause the stronger social capital of SF groups. Furthermore, social capital significantly influences community participation in the SF program. For the collective type, social interaction, trust, reciprocity, and leadership are the determinant factors that can improve community participation. In contrast, for the collective type, they are only social interaction, trust, and reciprocity.

This study concludes that the nutrition education strategy needs to include factors that affect education acceptance such as educational background and social economy, and the impact assessment of education must also include the behavior of consuming nutritious food and changes in the body's nutritional status.

The Process of Grouping Elementary School Students Receiving PIP Assistance uses the K-Means Algorithm

As part of receiving support from the Smart Indonesia Program (PIP), this study intends to analyze and apply the K-Means algorithm in the process of grouping elementary school students. PIP is a government initiative that attempts to give money to elementary school pupils from disadvantaged or weaker homes. The effective and fair distribution of aid monies depends on the proper grouping of the students. The K-Means approach was selected because it can cluster data, allowing the grouping of pupils based on pertinent traits. Numerous characteristics that can affect kids' financial needs are included in the data utilized in this study, including family income, parental education level, proximity to the school, and other social and economic issues. This study makes use of empirical data from a PIP-affiliated elementary school in an urban setting. The data includes a large number of pertinent features and thousands of pupils. Based on how similar their characteristics are, pupils are divided into numerous clusters using the K-Means technique. The findings of this study will help us better identify the traits of students who are eligible for PIP support. By doing this, the government can allocate funds more wisely and guarantee that aid is given where it is most needed. The PIP program can benefit children in need more by streamlining the process of grouping the students. In addition, this research has broader implications for social aid and education policy. To guarantee effectiveness and equity in resource allocation, the K-Means algorithm can be used in a variety of additional aid initiatives. Data mining-based strategies, like those employed in this study, are becoming more crucial to boost the effectiveness of aid programs like PIP. The findings of this study can help the government and educational institutions improve the efficacy of aid initiatives designed to boost Indonesian children's education
