Ameylia Puspita Rosa Dyah Ayu Arintyas — Thu, 01 Feb 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Hunger is still a problem for some people. The cause is not only derived from economic conditions but also family structure, social environment, and age. One group that is vulnerable to hunger is the elderly. Elderly people are vulnerable because of a decrease in physical condition so they are unable to meet their own needs, live alone because their families have separated, and do not have an economic safety net or an old-age pension fund. In rural areas in particular, several forms of local social protection have developed to deal with hunger, which is an adaptation to the COVID-19 era. Therefore, this concern was raised as the topic of this research. To obtain more specific data, a case study will be carried out regarding local community-based innovations in overcoming hunger in the elderly. The study will be carried out on a micro basis in Kapanewon Paliyan, Gunungkidul, and Yogyakarta. This study used qualitative methods by collecting data using semi-structured interviews and observation. The results of the research will describe the process of local community-based innovation action and its impact on reducing hunger in the elderly.

Against Post-Pandemic Climate Denialism: Countering “Sugar-Coating” Narratives on Climate Change Through Online Social Movement

Annisa Nabilatul Khaira — Thu, 01 Feb 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Climate change is not only a material issue regarding the realization of sustainable climate projects but also involves the construction and dissemination of various ideas related to climate change itself. In the middle of a highly interconnected world, there is a dichotomy respecting the international community’s view towards climate change,making them splitin two as “accepters” and “deniers”. Climate denialism among people is not new, but the trend has drastically shifted once COVID-19 strikes. It went from rejecting scientific evidence of climate crisis as an anthropogenic phenomenon into sugar-coating post-pandemic reality, a more subtle mechanism to convince people that the current climate crisis is inevitable and no one will be able to fix it due to dilemmatic situation between saving the earth or saving the economy. The “sweeten reality” narrative is disguisedly counterproductive, fostering logical fallacies and ultimately hindering the attainment of a global collective target to shut climate change down. Addressing this matter, this research aims to analyze how the online social movements could be an effective channel to counter climate denialism post-pandemic. Utilizing Singh and Tourrine New Social Movement theory, this study concluded that online social movement could generate a climate communication space to disseminating accurate and non-confrontational information, responding deniers questions and concerns, and promoting constructive climate discourse.

Women and Green Economy: Saving Future Planet or Embedded Gender Inequality?

Grace Lumban Gaol, Fazah Amalia Nabilah, Dita Zahra Ayu Shabilillah — Thu, 01 Feb 2024 00:00:00 +0000

In the past decades, the idea of a green economy has arisen in response to environmental issues worldwide and institutionalized in the SDGs conception. The global pattern is that the green economy emerged from the grass-roots initiative, mainly driven by women. It is intriguing how the industry that could potentially save the future of the planet is driven by women who mostly face structural and cultural barriers in participating in the economic process. This paper is aimed to investigate the matters by focusing on under what condition the dominant actors of the green economy initiative in a female-dominated field. We pinpoint the reality of Surabaya's green economy as the primary case study. Surabaya, the capital city of East Java, Indonesia, is no different from the rest. The green economy initiative is most driven by grassroots in the form of small-medium enterprises, and it is a female-dominated field. Having employed the gender analysis in the process, we argue that the green economy is perceived as "less-economical," and the business model generates less income than the conventional. Thus, the dominant narrative is that women are suitable to participate since the wage earner is widely associated with masculinity and men. It potentially creates another layer of discrimination against women in general.

Hani Puspita Dewi — Thu, 01 Feb 2024 00:00:00 +0000

The population increase, decrease of farmers, crisis of the young farmer generation, chemical products used in agriculture, and climate change potential have impacted agriculture. Therefore, it is increasingly important for the young generation to continue farming. This is in accordance with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), namely ending hunger, achieving food security, improving nutrition, and promoting sustainable agriculture. However, not all young people are able to proactively anticipate the impact of climate change and practice sustainable agriculture. In Yogyakarta, there is a community of young farmers who focus on regeneration and sustainability agriculture. This research aims at analyzing agricultural programs managed by young farmers in Sriharjo Village, Yogyakarta Regency. This research method uses a qualitative approach with a case study conducted in Sriharjo Village, Yogyakarta Regency. Eight young farmers were selected by means of purposive sampling techniques. Data is collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation. Analysis for data using the thematic analysis and testing the data for validity using the triangulation technique. The result showed that sustainable agriculture managed by young farmers has been managed well by planting hydroponic techniques, making organic fertilizers, using alternative feed, and managing household waste for farming. Hopefully, this research can be used as the basis for a sustainable agriculture policy for young farmers.

Irwan Kurniawan Soetijono — Thu, 01 Feb 2024 00:00:00 +0000

The climate crisis has become a real threat facing global citizens since industrial/modern civilization and is a threat that cannot be avoided. However, climate problems are often focused only on technical paradigms, even though the climate crisis is more than just a problem of temperature, melting poles, and rainfall. The negative impacts of the climate crisis are felt politically in the social order of society, especially for people in vulnerable groups who are considered to have weak adaptive capacity due to limited access to the resources needed to fulfil their daily needs. One of these vulnerable groups is the women living in the coastal area of Cemara Beach, Banyuwangi Regency. Cemara Beach, located directly opposite the Bali Strait, is an area that is vulnerable to climate change, especially now that there is an excess number of fishermen. There is exploitative use of natural resources. Climate change has significantly resulted in several physical changes in the Cemara Beach area, which include, among other things, seawater intrusion onto land, tidal waves, flooding, inundation in lowlands and erosion on Cemara Beach which in turn has an impact on coastal morphology, natural ecosystems, settlements and the economy. And fishermen's income. It is hoped that the output of this research study will be a concrete solution in providing support for the environment and female fishermen at Cemara Beach. Through this research, the influence of climate change on the socio‐economic conditions of Cemara Beach female fishermen and the adaptation strategies implemented to face climate change will be known. Hopefully, this research will become a further reference regarding fishermen's adaptation to climate change in coastal areas and small islands. Apart from that, the research is expected to be able to model adaptation patterns that are useful for developing climate change mitigation adaptation. Meanwhile, for the regional government of Banyuwangi Regency, this research can influence decision‐making that determines development policies, especially the gender‐responsive fisheries sector.

Izzatinnisa, Munif Arif Ranti — Thu, 01 Feb 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Gender and environmental issues are significant for development. Women are often marginalized, so gender inclusivity is obstructed. Then comes the problem of environmental pollution, mainly caused by the excessive use of plastic. To overcome this, contributions from various actors, including MSMEs are needed to carry out activities that implement the values of the SDGs, a United Nations program for achieving global peace and prosperity. Rappo then appeared as a social entrepreneur whose role was to embody these values through environmentally friendly products and empowering women. This study uses the concept of SDGs and local security networks, which focuses on gender equality and climate action to show the responsibilities and roles of Rappo. By using literature review and interviews, this research indicates that Rappo plays an active role in producing products and providing environmentally friendly education, including manufacturing recycled products, plastic smart cities, plastic waste donations, and beach clean-ups, a form of implementing the SDGs values. Rappo also builds partnerships with various communities, such as women and laundry business, to empower and facilitate access to plastic waste collection. The program implemented by Rappo has implications for economic growth and gender-inclusive decent work in Makassar, responsible production and consumption practices, and prevention of plastic pollution.

Landfilling in Developing Countries Due to The Global Waste Trade: Critics for Developed Countries

Jihan Nadya Yahya, Helga Yohana Simatupang — Thu, 01 Feb 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Waste trade is a quick way to manage waste. Rather than building a waste management system, it’s cheaper to pay the destination country to import waste. The waste trade, on the other hand, will generate a new challenge for the destination country: landfilling. In this article, the author discusses the increasing waste in developing countries as a result of waste trade with industrialized countries. This article focuses on developed nations in North America and Europe, whereas developing nations in Southeast Asia are discussed. In the last 10 years, the United States exported 1.21 billion pounds of scrap plastic, whereas the European Union exported 1.14 million tons of plastic waste. Since China banned international waste imports in 2018, the amount of waste imported into Southeast Asia from North America and Europe has increased. The article uses green theory and eco-imperialism to explore the history, effects, and criticism of the waste trade between developed and developing countries. To comprehend the topic, the article uses qualitative research techniques and descriptive analysis. The references in this text refer to a period beginning in 2018, as China no longer permits the import of foreign waste.

Driving Progress from the Bottom Up: Assessing Local Government SDG Reporting to Inspire Action

Sri Milawati Asshagab — Thu, 01 Feb 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Effective monitoring and reporting of progress toward achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is essential for sustainable development. However, local governments’ voluntary reporting on SDG progress remains limited globally. This study aims to evaluate the Voluntary Local Review (VLR) reporting practices of 16 cities worldwide, focusing on SDG 17: Partnership for the Goals. The comparative analysis method was employed to compare reporting practices, content, and partnership networks to identify best practices. By doing so, it aims to inspire other local governments to report their SDG actions and create initiatives toward achieving the SDGs, particularly in addressing common challenges. The study found that while VLR is a crucial step in implementing action plans, it lacks a standard format, which hinders transparency and consistency. The VLR aims to increase awareness of local government efforts and challenges in achieving SDGs, and it also encourages other local governments to take action towards the SDGs, as most regions face similar challenges that require cooperation. Collaborative networks such as C40, FairTrade Town, ICLEI, and Sister City highlight the importance of joint efforts in promoting sustainable urban development at the local government level.

Indah Fatmawati, Yeni Lestari — Thu, 01 Feb 2024 00:00:00 +0000

The high cases of gender-based sexual violence in universities rank second after sexual violence that occurs in other public spaces. Despite this, there are still many cases of sexual violence that have not been revealed. One of the reasons is because universities cover up these problems on the grounds of maintaining electability. On the other hand, the closure of the case will harm the victim's right to get protection and recovery for the violence experienced. This is certainly not in accordance with what is mandated by the Minister of Education and Culture for Research and Technology number 30 of 2021 concerning the Prevention and Handling of Sexual Violence in Higher Education. The purpose of this study is to analyze how the handling of sexual violence that occurs in universities that already have a task force for the prevention and handling of sexual violence. This research is a type of qualitative research (library research) with a normative juridical approach. The conclusion of this study illustrates that the handling of victims of sexual violence by the task force in Higher Education is still not in accordance with the Minister of Education and Culture for Research and Technology number 30 of 2021, while the solution that can be offered is to change and instill the paradigm to universities that a good campus is a campus that reports findings and results of handling sexual violence that occurs in universities instead of covering it up to fight sexual violence together in Higher Education College.

April Lia Dina Mariyana, Ariq Idris Annaufal — Thu, 01 Feb 2024 00:00:00 +0000

This study aims to analyze the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in reducing economic inequality between different social classes. The problem with economic inequality is that it can lead to social and economic instability, reduced economic growth, and limited opportunities for individuals from lower socioeconomic backgrounds. The field of AI is relatively new, and its potential applications are still being explored, which may explain why there is still a need for more research in this area. Furthermore, the complexity of the issue of economic inequality requires a multidisciplinary approach, which can be challenging for researchers to navigate. In this research, a literature review was conducted on articles, books, and reports related to AI and economic inequality. The data obtained were analyzed using a qualitative descriptive approach. The research results show that AI has the potential to increase efficiency in business and provide better access to education and training, which can help individuals from lower social classes to move up to a higher economic level. However, there are also risks associated with the use of AI in reducing economic inequality. These risks include job switching, especially in repetitive and less skilled jobs, and the potential to reinforce existing biases and discrimination. Thus, this research emphasizes the need for a careful and thoughtful

Opportunity to Learn Indonesian Language through Nonformal Educationfor The Children of Indonesian Migrant Workers in Sabah- Malaysia: Case Study at the Pontian Fico Community Learning Center

Aswan — Thu, 01 Feb 2024 00:00:00 +0000

The existence of children of Indonesian migrant workers in Sabah-Malaysia has had an impact in many ways. In the linguistic context, children of Indonesian migrant workers who were born and raised in Sabah-Malaysia use the Malaysian language as their first language. The most important problem in this context is that children of Indonesian migrant workers have an identity crisis because they tend to follow the social and cultural environment they live in, but do not know much about their country of origin. Therefore, this research was conducted with the aim of describing opportunities to learn Indonesian for children of Indonesian migrant workers through non-formal schools in Sabah-Malaysia. The method used in this research was qualitative, with a case study approach. This research was conducted at the Pontian Fico Community Learning Center non-formal school, Sabah-Malaysia. The data for this research are documentation and interview results, while the data sources were obtained from Indonesian school teachers who teach in non-formal schools. The results and discussion described are opportunities to learn Indonesians through the curriculum, teachers, and school literacy programs. The findings of this study are that the CLC Pontian Fico non-formal school provides opportunities to learn Indonesian for the children of Indonesian migrant workers as part of strengthening self-identity, supporting educational equality, and realizing quality education. The conclusion of this study is that non-formal schools use soft diplomacy to introduce Indonesians to Indonesian children who live in areas where their parents work.

Inclusive Village Development Through Religious Moderation: Promoting Local Cultures as A Global Values

Dian Herdiana — Thu, 01 Feb 2024 00:00:00 +0000

This article is intended to analyze inclusive village development in which religious moderation is not only used as the basis for compiling and implementing development that accommodates differences in beliefs at the village level but also used as one of the pillars of overall development success. This concept is the essential value of contemporary village development, which not only represents the aspirations of village community members but also accommodates the interests of every member of the village community with different beliefs. Based on this understanding, religious moderation is a condition for village development in which today's society is developing to become heterogeneous. Religious moderation guarantees accommodation for various village development programs aimed at the interests of all village communities. This concept should be understood as a paradigm not only at the national level but at the global level, which so far has constructed society as a determinant of the direction of development policy; the community does not only agree on the development program as a concession but also as an accommodation for the heterogeneity of adhered beliefs in which development represents these differences in beliefs and can provide development benefits for all members of the community. It should be promoted as a relevant local value to become a global paradigm.

Disaster Management Communication Model

Muhammad Hilmy Aziz — Thu, 01 Feb 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Indonesia is located where the four main plates of the world meet, namely Eurasia, Indo-Australia, the Philippines, and the Pacific, which geologically makes Indonesia prone to earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions. On the other hand, Indonesia is located at the confluence of two oceans and two continents and in the tropics, making the entire region dominantly geographically potential for disaster vulnerability, such as floods, landslides, flash floods, extreme weather, extreme waves and abrasion, and droughts that can also trigger forest and land fires that reinforce the definition of Indonesia being located in a strategic disaster area. This research provides a concrete picture of the latest communication models in disaster management studies that have been carried out still within the risk reduction paradigm. Preparing this communication model is expected to provide strategic potential as an effort and step where Indonesia can make organized disaster management at the communication level. This research uses a qualitative method which can give a concrete picture of how to handle disasters. In addition, FGD (Focus Group Discussion) is a way of collecting data through direct discussion and analysing problems with experts. The research focuses on more than just the communication model as an essential part of disaster management. The development of literacy as a role model can be applied to form a sophisticated handling of disasters that integrates technology with society and media independence in presenting the information. Through these steps, disaster management can be realized in the communication corridor used to provide a new paradigm related to disaster management.

Ikfanny Alfi Muhibbah Shalihah — Thu, 01 Feb 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Climate change is a crucial natural phenomenon. One of the causes of climate change is global warming caused by increased greenhouse gas emissions in the Earth's atmosphere. Carbon dioxide emissions from the transportation sector are the largest contributor to greenhouse gases. The perception of students' understanding, including non-forestry and environmental students, of climate change is needed in mitigation efforts that play a role in reducing the impact of climate change in a structured manner. Moringa oleifera is a ground cover plant from the Moringaceae group which is a type that is fast growing and resistant to drought. This study aims to analyze the perceptions of students with non-forestry and environmental education backgrounds in Jakarta, Bogor, Depok, Tangerang, and Bekasi (Jabodetabek) towards the role of Moringa oleifera in climate change mitigation. Data and information on student perceptions were obtained through a closed questionnaire and related journals. The sample used in this study amounted to 213 respondents from 1.000 population with 10% error rate. This study used the Guttman Scale. The results of this study are expected to serve as a basis for further development of climate change mitigation strategies related to Moringa oleifera by relevant institutions.

Village-based Tourism Development as a Strategy for Local Economic Empowerment in Bukit Lawang

Thu, 01 Feb 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Tourism is believed to be one of the key drivers in enhancing the local economy, allowing the community around tourist destinations to not only act as spectators but also take part in tourism activities. In Bukit Lawang, one way to increase the contribution and benefits of tourism to the community is through the development of a tourism village. The concept of village-based local economic development is certainly a hope for improving the welfare of the local community in the Bukit Lawang area, but how and what steps can be taken to realize this hope can be answered through a strategic study. Therefore, this study aims to generate the necessary strategies for optimizing local economy through tourism villages in the Bukit Lawang area, which is known as one of the ecotourism centers. The research method used in this study is SWOT analysis, where data is collected through purposive sampling interviews with informants selected from the pentahelix elements (government, community, academia, media, and tourism business actors). The data is analyzed using the SWOT protocol by identifying internal and external factors, SWOT matrix, and ultimately generating alternative development strategies. One alternative strategy from the WT domain is the need for formulating an integrative roadmap for village-based local economic development to avoid overlapping tourism programs that are not targeted. In the future, further research with the same focus can involve additional analysis tools such as AHP or QSPM so that the resulting strategies can be ranked.

Dela Cruz, Raymart A. Liu, Louis Z. Valencia, Sophia Carla ‘Matti’ David — Thu, 01 Feb 2024 00:00:00 +0000

This research aims to analyze, examine, and compare current environmental policies governing ASEAN and the EU. To ensure a comprehensive and objective study, this paper will utilize two established theoretical frameworks, namely Comparative Institutional Analysis and Political Analysis. These frameworks will consider the complex institutional and political intricacies that underpin both regions. Moreover, this study will argue the importance of green diplomacy in promoting collaboration and knowledge-sharing as a fundamental step towards an institutionally standardized environmental policy that will benefit both ASEAN and the EU by drawing on a range of relevant literature and case studies. It will investigate in further detail specific ways in which green diplomacy advances the integration of environmental policies and identify best practices that enable cooperation and collaboration. This research works under the liberal assumption that sustainable development goals will be achieved not by centralized authority but through intergovernmental bargaining wherein states are actors that play a critical role in the achievement of SDGs. The research findings will reveal the potential for collaboration between ASEAN and the EU founded on mutual respect and a shared commitment to advance environmental sustainability. By highlighting the importance of institutionalizing sustainability, this study will help facilitate a transition to a more equitable future as it reaffirms both the region's environmental goals carrying on to play a vital role in resolving one of the world’s most pressing issues today, climate change.

Case Study on Traditional Sustainable Practices in Southeast Asian Cultures

Thu, 01 Feb 2024 00:00:00 +0000

This case study aims to investigate the local sustainable practices in Southeast Asian cultures and how these “green” practices can be cultivated to address the climate crisis. Oftentimes, sustainable solutions based on Western frameworks and perspectives are implemented to improve the climate situation. However, for non-Western regions and communities—in particular, in Southeast Asia (SEA)—some Western approaches in addressing the climate crisis may not be contextualized or feasible enough to be integrated in these said areas. Despite this incompatibility, SEA communities are not necessarily complacent about the climate crisis; in fact, SEA communities may already have sustainable practices embedded in their attitudes and daily life. This paper seeks to explore the following: [a] the possible reasons why some Western approaches of sustainability are not compatible with SEA lifestyle and preferences; [b] eco-friendly practices and initiatives in the SEA region; and [c] ways traditional SEA practices for sustainability can be encouraged and fostered within the local communities’ climate initiatives.

Enforcing Preventions of Child Marriage Cases in ASEAN Member States Within the Framework of Sustainable Development Goals

Hemalia Kusumadewi, Wishnu Mahendra Wiswayana — Thu, 01 Feb 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Law prohibiting Child Marriage already exists in most countries, yet society always finds a way to send vulnerable children into marriage which exposes them to many long-term negative impacts such as higher risk of abuse and reproductive diseases. This is especially the case in developing nations, where culture and norms are still maintained more than the safety of children. Child Marriage is disproportionately harmful to girls, therefore the gender-inequality aspect of this phenomenon needs to be thoroughly analyzed. Most ASEAN Member States are also still struggling with preventing child marriages, with the rate of women married under 18 as high as 33% in some ASEAN States. Thus, comprehensive solutions are needed. Goal 5 of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) ‘Gender Equality’ has included the elimination of Child Marriage as one of its targets, thus emphasizing the importance of decreasing the phenomenon. This paper will examine the structural problem influencing the amount of Child Marriage cases in Southeast Asian countries using the Framework of Child Marriage Key Drivers, measuring the effectiveness of existing solutions, and coming up with sustainable solutions by utilizing the framework of SDGs and the IFRC Technical Guidelines National Society Programming Against Child Marriage.

Analysis of The Trilateral Cooperation of the Philippines, Indonesia, and Malaysia to Safeguard the Sea and Combat Terrorism

Abel Josafat Manullang — Thu, 01 Feb 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Terrorism is one of the things that globalization has somewhat enhanced. With the sumptuous ease of access to all sorts of technologies, the non-state actor has become the very thing that many states fear for their national security. One of such cases occurs in the Philippines where it has been dealing with the Abu Sayyaf terrorists. Given the terrorist’s ability to utilize the nearby sea to its advantage, which shares borders with Malaysia and Indonesia, the Philippines was faced with a complex matter at hand. However, it doesn’t deter them, rather, they came up with a unique approach which includes its neighbors in a joint effort to fight terrorism. The article focuses on three things which it unpacks later down the road. At the start, the article begins by explaining the trilateral cooperations between Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines in tackling terrorism over the sea and the Philippines. In the case of its implications, terrorism also has strong implications to national stability which might worsen a lot of sectors within a state, including areas where the SDGs are needed. Such conditions occur as acts of terror that the groups carry out would result in instability that may hinder development measures. The initiative to tackle the issue in a multilateral framework further shows how crucial the issue is to tackle and also why it must include that means. The latter can be attributed to the nature of the issue that is transnational which prevents any effective single state measures.
