Analisis faktor pembangunan desa dalam pengembangan desa mandiri berkelanjutan pada Desa Bunghu Aceh Besar

The independence of the village becomes a benchmark in economic development. An independent village is a village that can produce products and works originating from the village's natural and human resources. But this is certainly not easy. There are still many villages in Aceh that have not been able to manage natural resources because of limited human resources. As the village of Bunghu, the people in the rural areas are still unable to make maximum use of resources. Thus, it is necessary to innovate and collaborate on the processing of natural resources. Therefore village officials are expected to be able to manage village funds by the Law. The purpose of this study is to analyze the factors of sustainable independent village development and development in the village of Bunghu. This research was conducted with an explanatory descriptive method by looking at planning, implementation, and accountability as a general factor of sustainable village development.

Comparing the Residential Sustainability of Two Transformation Models for Chinese Urban Villages: Demolition/Relocation Market-Oriented and New Rural Construction

In China, large-scale urban village transformation has profoundly influenced the residential sustainability and interests of indigenous villagers. Local governments have widely adopted a demolition/relocation market-oriented model (D/RMM) for transformation of most of the urban villages (UVs) in China. During the D/RMM process, the interests of indigenous villagers have generally suffered to a certain extent. Originally, the new rural construction model (NRCM) was only used to improve rural development and sustainability. However, it has now occasionally been applied in the UV transformation process to safeguard and guarantee the interests of the village collective and villagers. Given the considerable difference between the two transformation models, we explored the sustainability and impact mechanisms of residential landscapes in terms of housing condition sustainability, community environment sustainability, and livelihood sustainability, through the cases of Beimiantan New Village (BNV) with NRCM and Xiaoyantan Village (XV) with D/RMM in Lanzhou, Gansu, China. The research findings reveal the differences in institutional design and social influence, and changes in the redistribution of benefits between the two transformation models. Overall, the residential sustainability of NRCM is higher than the D/RMM’s. Meanwhile, the influence factors in the residential sustainability of the two transformation models can mostly be attributed to three aspects: (1) Land development rights allocation models and earning redistribution fundamentally affect villagers’ housing condition sustainability; (2) The collective economy and the informal economy are the potential drivers of sustainable village community transformation; (3) Informal institutions and village social networks protect and continue the social capitals in village. Specifically, the NRCM in BNV has the following advantages in improving residential sustainability: (1) Collective land assets can be further activated; (2) Villagers’ vested interests are largely safeguarded; (3) The main role of social low-rent housing and informal employment places in the original village is optimized to a larger extent; (4) The original villagers’ social networks remain stable and intact. In summary, villagers’ rights are maintained and enhanced via informal institutions, informal economies, and original social relationship networks are completely preserved through NRCM in BNV, as much as possible. Therefore, NRCM can maximize the villagers’ interests, that may be conducive to residential sustainability in the transformation of China’s urban villages.

도시재생 관점에서 지속가능한 이화동 벽화마을에 관한 연구†

본 연구는 벽화작가의 콘크리트 담장 복원과 일부 주민에 의한 벽화훼손사건 등이 발생한 이화동 벽화마을을 대상으로 지속가능한 마을단위의 도시재생방안을 제안하고자 하였다. 기존문헌 고찰과 사전조사를 통해 마을단위에서 적용 가능한 도시재생 고려요소(환경지속성, 경제지속성, 사회지속성)를 도출하였고, 주민들을 대상으로 실증조사를 실시한 후 이화동 벽화마을의 문제점을 파악하였다. 그 결과, 주민들은 벽화마을의 활성화와 안정된 거주공간을 위한 고려요소로 벽화마을로의 접근성, 주차관리, 업종의 다양성, 새로운 일자리 창출, 주민들의 공동체참여가 도출되었다. 이화동 벽화마을의 경우, 조성 당시 거주민을 위한 물리환경적 요소들이 고려되지 못한 상황 속에서 벽화제작 예산위주로 마을이 계획되었고, 이후 경제적 혜택의 불평등으로 주민간의 갈등이 심화되었다. 또한 마을관광객에 맞춰진 업종 신설, 외부인 고용 등 공공혜택마저 주민에게 제공되지 못한 결과, 마을활성화의 주역인 벽화를 훼손하는 지속가능하지 못한 벽화마을 모습으로 나타났다. 그러므로 지속가능한 벽화마을로 존속되기 위해서는 계획초기부터 주거지역이 일부 관광지역으로 변화될 수 있다는 전제 하에 포괄적 계획이 선행되어져야 하며, 주민에게 지가상승과 같은 편파적 혜택이 아닌 도로정비 등의 생활환경 개선과 더불어 마을 자체가 주민들의 공동자산이 될 수 있도록 주민간의 소통과 화합을 위한 상생방안이 모색되어져야 한다.

The Integration of Sustainable Cities in the Marshes (Iraq)

The extensive marshlands of Mesopotamia represent a unique component of our global heritage and resources. The seas of reed beds were home to ancient communities rooted in the dawn of human history. The wetlands are the locale in which human civilization began with the Sumerian culture more than 5,000 years ago. Scholars regard the marshes as the site of the biblical"Garden of Eden," the "Great Flood," and the birthplace of the patriarch Abraham. On the shores of the marshes, the legendary Epic of Gilgamesh was enacted. World-renowned archaeological sites on the fringes of the marshes include Ur, Uruk, Eridu, Larsa, Lagash and Nina.The current marsh dwellers are our only link with this rich cultural past. Following the end of the Gulf War in 1991, the marsh dwellers were important elements in the uprising. To end the rebellion, the regime implemented an intensive system of drainage and water diversion structures that desiccated over 90% of the marshes. The reed beds were also burned and poison introduced to the waters. It is estimated that more than 500,000 were displaced, 95,000 of them to Iran, 300,000 internally displaced, and the remainder to other countries. By January 2003, the majority of the marshes were wastelands. From this point and to re settling the local community the research trying to present a sustainable village in the marshes that can be built from local materials and depend on the local society.

The Effect of Good Governance on Increasing the Quality of the Physical Environment of Rural Settlements (Case Study: Central District of Neyshabur County)

Purpose- In a good governance pattern with a broad participation of people, increasing self-reliance, pluralism, cooperation between actors, and the transfer of power to local levels can be key to solving the problem of rural development, increasing the quality of settlements and the quality of life of villagers; hence creating sustainable villages. Accordingly, the main purpose of this paper was to investigate the effect of good governance on the increase of the physical quality of rural settlements. Design/methodology/approach- The present study is descriptive-analytic. Questionnaires were used to collect data. After applying the Cochran formula, 192 questionnaires were prepared. The population of this study is 13 villages with local managers in Neyshbur. In order to measure the purpose and analyze data, one-sample T-test, Pearson correlation and structural equation modeling using smart PLS software were used. Finding- The results of the research showed that, based on the T-test, there was not a favorable situation in both good rural governance and physical quality of rural settlements. Based on Pearson's test, it was found that in the seven villages of Khanlogh, Sarachah, Bashnij, Mobarakeh, Bahrodi, Hoseinabad and Mirabad the relationship between good governance and physical quality of rural settlements was significant. The results of the PLS model also indicated that a good rural governance of 62% affects the improvement of the physical quality of rural settlements. Practical implications-Proposals that can be effective in improving good governance practice in order to improve the physical quality of rural settlements include: informing and educating people about the principle of construction in villages, effort-making of local managers to attract the cooperation of relevant organizations to improve the physical quality of rural settlements, creating a suitable field for attracting people's conscious participation in improving their physical condition, creating coordination and interaction between local managers to solve physical problems in the village. Originality/value- This study was innovative because it focused on the impact of good rural governance on the increase of the physical quality of rural settlements. In fact, in this research for each of these two variables, separate indices have been considered and the relationship between them has been evaluated.

The purpose of this study was to examine how residents perceived sustainable village regeneration and participation intentions for the fish village by using a multi-regression analysis. Also this study used ANOVA analysis to evaluate the significant difference between the factors of ‘residents perception for generation’, ‘regeneration attitude’, and ‘residents’ participation’ for the fish village by fish village regions. The results of this study demonstrated that the factor of ‘residents’ perception of village generation’ had a positive influence on ‘regeneration attitude(positive life of residents, enhancement of village’s asset, enhancement of village’s value, improvement of village’s infrastructure, improvement of village’s environment)’. Also the factor of ‘the attitude toward fish village regeneration(positive life of residents, enhancement of village’s asset, enhancement of village’s value, improvement of village’s environment)’ had a positive influence on ‘participation intentions of residents. This study found that the residents’ perception for the fish village regeneration was partially associated with regeneration attitude therefore the residents’ perception influenced the participation intentions of residents. Thus the effort to regenerate the village should be put first to increase residents’ participation in carrying forward the fish village regeneration.

The impacts of traditional homegarden conversion into the commercial one: A case study in Sukapura Village of the Upstream Citarum Watershed, West Java, Indonesia

Prihatini J, Iskandar J, Partasasmita R, Nurjaman D. 2018. The impacts of traditional homegarden conversion into the commercial one: A case study in Sukapura Village of the Upstream Citarum Watershed, West Java, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 19: 1926-1940. In the past, rural homegardens in West Java were planted with various annual and perennial crops. As a result, the vegetation structure of traditional homegardens in rural areas of West Java, Indonesia was very complex, similar to that of forest vegetation. Nowadays, however, due to rapid development of market economic system in rural areas, many traditional homegardens in West Java have been converted into the commercial ones. Consequently, the structure and functions of the homegardens have drastically changed. For example, the vegetation structure has become simpler and dominated by commercial crops, and the gardens serve mostly economic function instead of providing various ecological, socio-economic and cultural functions. The aim of this study was to elucidate: (i) the ecological history of traditional homegardens, (ii) the changes of structure and functions of the homegardens converted from the traditional into the commercial one, and (iii) the positive and negative impacts of conversion of the traditional homegardens into the commercial ones in the Village of Sukapura, the Subdistrict of Kertasari, the District of Bandung, Upstream Citarum Watershed, West Java. The combination of qualitative and quantitative methods were used, while some techniques, including observations, and in-depth interviews with competent informants were applied in this study. The results of study showed that initially the traditional homegardens in Kertasari Village had been predominantly cropped with various annual and perennial crops. However, due to market economic development, the homegardens have been drastically changed. For example, the commercial vegetable crops, including Welsh onion (Allium fistulosum L), carrot (Daucus carota L) and cabbage (Brassica oleracea var capitata) have been predominantly cultivated in the commercial homegardens. Consequently, the household income of the village people who own the commercial homegardens increased, however, some ecological and socio-cultural functions of the commercial homegardens drastically decreased. In addition, some negative impacts of the commercialization of the homegardens have occurred. We suggest that to develop the sustainable village homegardens for the future, the diversity of plants must be maintained to provide ecological function or ecosystem services and the economic production must be improved to increase the income of the rural people.

Menggalang Potensi Budaya Lokal untuk Mengangkat Bargaining Position Masyarakat: Memetik Hikmah Pemetaan Partisipatif di Gunungkidul

The district of Gunungkidul was chosen as a potential area for the adoption of a new approach in Community Engagement (CE) program. Participatory mapping, reinforced by the application of the Geographic Information System (GIS) as a new approach, became a breakthrough amid the vastness of humanities, which still seems to be fragmented in each study program. Terefore, a platform is neended to optimize the potential of FIB UGM to address the diversity of cultural aspects in a community. Tis CE is designed to empower both parties at once, ie community and college. For the community, recollecting of their cultural properties can be a powerful capital for potential development with a structured and accessible database. Tis cultural richness helps them to initiate and implement the sustainable village development programs. Strengthening and developing their identity and integrity of local culture can be achieved if their overall potential can be mapped. For the college, CE becomes a model that can provide more mature readiness in actualizing its “tri dharma”, either through the preparation of human resources and methodological reinforcement.

Developing zero energy and sustainable villages – A case study for communities of the future

Abstract Pakistan is an agricultural country and most of its population resides in rural areas. These communities have small power demands which can easily be met through proper utilization of renewable energy technologies such as solar photovoltaic (PV). The focus of this research work is to encourage people and government to develop zero energy communities which will greatly help to achieve sustainable energy infrastructure in the country. In this paper, feasibility of a grid-connected PV power system without battery backup is conducted for the climatic conditions of a rural community located in Toba Tek Singh, Pakistan. RETScreen clean energy simulation tool is used to optimize and carry out feasibility analysis of the proposed PV system. The analysis is carried out based on project finances, fuel saving potential, energy production, capacity factor, and reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. The financial viability of the project is studied by comparing it with the grid electricity. The results indicate that the proposed PV power plant can provide energy in remote areas at relatively better rates as compared to grid electricity. Furthermore, this initiative will help to reduce the emissions of harmful greenhouse gases and to achieve a sustainable development in the country. A sensitivity analysis is also performed to demonstrate and elaborate the effects of government incentives on different decision variables.
