Green Politics in the Political Agenda and Village Development Policies in Batu City

Village head elections (Pilkades) and village development policies are visual windows to see how green politics is implemented. Examining the implementation of Pilkades in three villages in Batu City and 2 years of leadership of the elected village head, this research aims to see the perspective of green politics, whether it is one of the main political agendas for candidates who are competing and policies by elected candidates during their leadership. The three villages were chosen because they have severe environmental damage problems. The research method applied in this study is qualitative and focused on content analysis of text data, both primary data, including observation data, interviews, and FGDs, and secondary data, including candidates' Vision-Mission, reports, news, and village government policies related to environmental protection. The results showed that only in Bulukerto and Sumber Brantas did the village head candidates specifically have a vision of environmental conservation, followed by concrete policies during their two years at the helm. Meanwhile, in Pandanrejo, despite facing the impact of environmental damage, the policies implemented are more focused on short-term economic development and have not systematically integrated nature conservation. Furthermore, the results of this study also show that the need for more awareness of the importance of sustainable conservation policies in Pandanrejo is closely related to the community's view that prioritizes economic and infrastructure issues.

The Role of Village Heads’ Educational Quality in Advancing Village Development Index Achievement in Indonesia

The limited availability of quality human resources within the bureaucracy, particularly in village governments, often results in stagnation and delays in achieving Independent Village status. One of the primary challenges faced by villages in Indonesia is the relatively low quality of village heads’ human resources. This study employs a quantitative research approach, utilizing documentation studies for data collection and simple statistical tests for analysis. The findings were then interpreted, discussed, and concluded. The study reveals that, as of 2023, the Special Region of Yogyakarta (D.I. Yogyakarta) had the highest proportion of village heads with Doctoral (S3) and Master’s (S2) degrees, correlating with the successful attainment of Independent Village status. Gorontalo Province, with the highest percentage of village heads holding Bachelor’s (S1) and Diploma (D.IV) degrees, achieved Advanced Village status. Similarly, the Riau Islands Province, with a predominance of village heads educated to the Senior High School level or equivalent, also attained Advanced Village status. Conversely, West Papua Province, characterized by the highest percentage of village heads with education below Senior High School, remained categorized as a Disadvantaged Village. These findings underscore the significant impact of village heads’ educational qualifications on the Village Development Index (VDI) growth and scores. Village heads with higher education levels (S3, S2, S1, and Diploma) and those with high school or equivalent education positively influence VDI growth rates and scores. In contrast, village heads with education levels below Senior High School demonstrate slower and lower VDI growth rates. This highlights the crucial role of high-quality village heads in advancing village development, accelerating progress, and achieving Independent Village status.

The study aimed to uncover and analyze female craftswomen who used kolosua as their raw weaving materials. The research method used ethnographical inquiry involving five ordinary informants and one key informant who were selected purposively. Data was collected by in-depth interview techniques, participant observation, and documentation and to check the validity of the information, triangulation techniques were employed; analysis was done by qualitative description. The results show that, in case of opportunities, the location where the kolosua grows is quite strategic and representative because the climate is not so dry and not so wet that the kolosua can grow well.

Keywords: women's skills, marketing of kolosua weaving, kolosua weavers
