Food security in the disaster-prone area: an empirical study from the rural area of Indonesia

Natural disasters affect food security due to low production in the affected areas, so that securing food is a top priority when a disaster occurs. This study aims to identify the food security status of a village located in disaster risk areas and formulates village development plans to reduce the risk of food insecurity. The case study area is Kaumrejo Village, Malang Regency as one of the most affected villages by the Kelud volcano eruption. This research employed a food security analysis based on the Ministry of Agriculture regulation regarding food security measurement and literature study. The results showed Kaumrejo village achieved food security a year after the disaster occurred. The status of this village’s food security quickly recovered even though local food production was hampered because the farmlands were covered by material from the eruption. One supported factors was the high import of food stocks from other regions. During the disaster response period, this village received huge support from the volunteers and the government. Upon disaster response period ended, village communities struggled to achieve their food security status as the farmland needed time to recover. The villagers need to establish alternative income generators to buy food supplies.

Digital Village: Modelling of Public Wireless Internet Development using Supply Chain Structure Approach

This study aims to describe the design of rural public wireless internet development based on a supply chain structure approach. Now, many new internet services have sprung up in the private, public, business, education, health, and even governmental sectors until considered as the leading global system. Especially in rural areas, the provision of cable internet networks and cellular internet networks have not been able to reach all rural areas, so a new breakthrough is needed, one of which is a public wireless internet network. This research was conducted with a Design-Based Research approach that combines scientific design methods with the problems that occur for internet development in rural areas of Indonesia. The finding that the development of wireless internet in rural areas can be carried out with the concept of a supply chain structure consisting of suppliers (ISP providers of internet sources), manufacturers (local government or village-owned enterprises managing and transmitting wireless internet to wholesaler), wholesaler (installed 5GHz wireless repeater in people residential areas), retailers (installed 5GHz wireless receiver devices from wholesaler and convert to 2.4GHz wireless transmitters installed in every resident’s house) and customers (each resident’s smartphones or notebooks device connected by wireless).

Operational parameters of small-scale anaerobic digester for rural areas in Indonesia to support sustainable development goals (SDGs)

Small-scale anaerobic digester (AD) has been widely used by society in rural areas of Indonesia to produce biogas. The use of biogas as a renewable energy source is in line with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) program, especially regarding Affordable and Clean Energy. In rural areas, biogas produced by small-scale AD is needed to produce fuel for cooking, produce the fertilizer for agriculture activities and as solution to environmental problems related to livestock manure disposal. This paper discusses the operational parameters of small-scale AD in Indonesia. These operational parameters are important to establish for standardizing the quality requirements of small-scale AD installed in rural areas of Indonesia. The research was conducted by review the literature from several previous studies that related to similar topic and discussed with biogas experts and practitioners to determine operational parameters for small-scale AD. The results of this research are obtaining the hydraulic retention time, pH value, temperature, and loading rate as operational parameters with respective range values. Information on the operational parameters of small-scale AD can be used as input for developing the Indonesian National Standards for the quality requirements of low-pressure biogas that is in line with this research.

Exploring the use of grammatical metaphor in Indonesian EFL learners’ academic writing

Grammatical metaphor is considered to be the key linguistic resource in the creation of academic discourse. In a pedagogical context, identification of grammatical metaphor in students’ writing can be used as a measurement of students’ academic literacy level to determine actions to improve the existing situation. In Indonesian EFL context, students’ grammatical metaphor deployment and development has not been much studied, despite its strategic role in improving students’ academic literacy. This paper presents a first step towards understanding Indonesian tertiary students’ linguistic strengths and weaknesses in academic literacy through the identification of ideational grammatical metaphor deployment and development. Using cross-sectional data from first year and third year students in a State Islamic College in a rural area of Indonesia, the students’ academic writing were analyzed for the deployment of experiential grammatical metaphor. The findings show that the two groups of different levels of participants deployed similar types of reconstrual of experiential grammatical metaphor. Process to Thing transcategorisation was the most frequent type of experiential grammatical metaphor reconstrual across the two groups, while Relator to Process was the most frequent logical grammatical metaphor reconstrual in both groups. Third-year students surpassed the first-year group in the frequency and proportion of instances of grammatical metaphor deployment. This study has shown that the development of learners’ academic writing was limited. Thus, it was suggested that a more explicit pedagogy to expose students to grammatical metaphor and more basic lexicogrammar teaching to enable the students to write academic texts is warranted.

Does Education Level Matter in Women’s Risk of Early Marriage?: Case Study in Rural Area in Indonesia

Several studies inform that early marriage is correlated with several situations, including socioeconomicstatus, cultural wisdom, religious values, education, and internet access. The study was aimed at analyzingthe effect of education level on women’s risk of early marriage in rural areas in Indonesia. The study useddata from the 2017 Indonesian Demographic and Health Survey. There were 2,252 women aged 19-24 yearsin a rural area in Indonesia who was taken as a sample. The variables analyzed included early marriage,education level, wealth status, and employment status. The final stage was used as a binary logistic regressiontest to determine the risk factors. The result found that women who have secondary education have a risk of0.396 times compared to women who have primary education to experience an early marriage (OR 0.396;95% CI 0.309-0.506). Women who have a higher education have a risk of 0.091 times compared to womenwho have primary education to experience an early marriage (OR 0.091; 95% CI 0.059-0.140). This findinginforms that the education level was a determinant of the incidence of early marriage among women in ruralIndonesia. The lower the education of a woman in a rural area, the higher the risk of experiencing an earlymarriage.

Concept Development of the Foundations of Planning under Pressure: A Case Study of Village Road Development Planning in Riau Province, Indonesia

AbstractThe purpose of this study was to provide a conceptual definition and description of forms of pressure in planning, as explained by Friend and Hickling, to identify other possible types of pressure in the context of provincial development planning and budgeting in Indonesia. As a case study, this paper discusses the dilemmas in provincial development planning involving the development of road infrastructure in a rural area in Indonesia. More specifically, it looks at the role the provincial government plays in building rural road with limited authority and how the legislature fights for the aspirations of their voters in rural areas according to their obligations as stated in the law stipulating the regional political system. The needs, obligations, and authority of these two parties can be in conflict with one another, which ultimately has implications for the development planning process. As a conclusion, it can be said that the existing regulations are not fully in line with the development planning practice, and the current political system leads to disharmony within development planning institutions, especially at the provincial level, related to the development plan of rural roads in Indonesia. In these conditions, the planning process is under a type of pressure experienced by the executive and the legislative branches and cannot be categorized into the six forms of pressure as conceived by Friend and Hickling. The name proposed here for this type of pressure is “conflegs.”

Katekese Keluarga Kristiani di Paroki-Paroki Daerah dalam Terang Seruan Apostolik Amoris Laetitia

Christian families are called to participate in the missions of the Church. One of the missions is the proclamation of Christian faith and the propagation of moral values. Christian families’ participation in the proclamation process can be carried out through family catechesis. Family members can do family catechesis in the light of Pope Francis’s apostolic exhortation Amoris Laetitia. The apostolic exhortation speaks, among other things, about the joy of love in the family. In the family catechesis, each member of the family is the subject of catechesis. The proclamation of Christian faith and the propagation of moral values in the family can use simple and contextual catechetical methods, especially among the parishes in rural area. This article explores the roles of family members, the themes for catechesis, and the methods of family catechesis to be used in rural area in Indonesia. A contextual catechesis is a form of catechesis that takes into account the experiences of the faithful as a source of family catechesis in relation to the Scripture. Family catechesis can also draw on cultural components, especially the local wisdoms which do not contradict the teachings of the Church, as part of the method of proclamation of the Christian faith and of propagation of moral values.

Penguatan Kompetensi Pedagogik Guru melalui Penggunaan Dynamic Geometry Software dalam Pembelajaran Matematika

STRENGTHENING TEACHER PEDAGOGICAL COMPETENCIES THROUGH THE USE OF DYNAMIC GEOMETRY SOFTWARE IN MATHEMATICS LEARNING. The selection of strategies, methods, models, and media of appropriate mathematics learning is a form of implementation of a teacher's pedagogical competence. In the 2013 curriculum, the teacher not only sets a scientific approach as a reference in implementing the learning process but also demands innovation to accommodate the right media as well. The role of instructional media, especially dynamic media, is very important in learning mathematics in both elementary and junior high schools. The media was used to explain abstract mathematical problems to be concrete, motivate students, stimulate student learning activities, and help the effectiveness of the learning process. Technological devices such as computers are one of the tools that can be used as dynamic mathematics learning media. Mathematical learning collaboration with ICT devices has been widely carried out in urban and rural areas in Indonesia. Dynamic Geometry Software (DGS) in the form of GeoGebra is a learning medium specifically developed to facilitate the learning of geometry, algebra, and calculus. Therefore, this community service activity (PkM) is intended to strengthen the teacher's pedagogical competence through the use of dynamic learning media using Dynamic Geometry Software (DGS) in the form of GeoGebra in mathematics learning in junior high schools. This PkM aims to train teachers to be able to operate or create mathematics learning media assisted by DGS, especially in learning geometry to students. By making their own, teachers can add insight and increase creativity in making learning media. The supported subjects in these community service activities were junior high school mathematics teachers in Ruteng City. As for the results obtained after the PKM activities, the teachers can operate and create mathematics learning media using DGS in the form of GeoGebra.

How can governments nudge students to become ebook readers? Evidence from Indonesia

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to investigate if and how government intervention can nudge students to become ebook readers.Design/methodology/approachA cross-sectional survey research design was adopted for this study. A total of 1,144 students from four middle and high schools in urban and rural areas of Indonesia participated in this study. The results from statistical analyses were further discussed through the lens of the nudge theory.FindingsThis paper founds evidence that government intervention in the form of the Buku Sekolah Elektronik (BSE) policy that has been providing free electronic textbooks for more than a decade can help nudge students to become ebook readers. After controlling for student’s demographic information, this paper founds that their awareness of such a policy is significantly associated with a stronger preference toward ebooks while having no significant effect on their preferences toward printed book format. This paper also founds that mobile device adoption plays an important role where early adopters tend to prefer ebook format, whereas laggards are more associated with printed book format.Originality/valueMany have studied the benefits of using ebooks in learning, but the literature also shows that most students still prefer reading printed books over ebooks. This is true not only in developing countries where problems with infrastructures can hamper the adoption of ebooks in general but also in developed countries where ebooks are much more prevalent, even among the general population. This paper showed how government interventions have the potency to help tip the scales and nudge students to become ebook readers.

From Socialism to Capitalism: Structural Poverty of Indigenous Women in West Kalimantan, Indonesia

The issue of indigenous women is closely related to the issue of poverty. Women who inhabit rural areas in Indonesia cannot separate from the conditions of life that are poor and completely limited. This paper tries to reflect Karl Marx's thoughts about poverty and injustice that occur in a country because of a structured system. This paper uses a qualitative approach by presenting primary and secondary data. Primary data collection through interviews and field observations, while secondary data through reading readings of scientific studies results in journal articles, policy papers, and government agencies' data. The results of this paper presents: 1) The concept of Marx that poverty is the expression of structural poverty; 2) Poverty among indigenous Dayak Benawan women in rural West Kalimantan, Indonesia, is not only cultural but also structural poverty that expressed limited access to education, health, and a decent standard of quality life; 3) From the era of classical philosophy to modern technology era today, the poverty that has occurred centuries ago today, indigenous women of Dayak Benawan in rural areas are still faced with.

Keeping rural children’s hope to stay in the Senior High School through conditional cash transfer: An Indonesian case

<p>Although the government has allocated cash transfer programs to reduce poverty and improve the education sector, the participation of senior high schools in rural areas in Indonesia is still meager. This research investigates the relationship between conditional cash transfers in Indonesia (Program Indonesia Pintar–PIP and Program Keluarga Harapan–PKH) with high school participation in children in Rural Indonesia. Using the 2018 socioeconomic survey data released by BPS, we found that children benefited from PIP children had a greater opportunity to participate in high school compared to those who did not. On the other hand, children from PKH beneficiary have a lower chance of attending high school, compared to those who come from families who do not receive PKH. Although conditional cash transfers generally have a positive effect on children's school participation, the success of conditional cash transfers relies on the knowledge of the people about the importance of children's education investments, simple program schemes, secure payment schemes, and efficient and effective technology-based controls.</p>
