Leveraging Waste Recycling as a Gateway to a Green Economy in Nigeria
Full text linkThe call for a transition to a green economy has been a recurring issue in Nigeria for over a decade. However, there was limited focus on the relationship between waste recycling and the green economy in previous studies. This study explores the nexus between waste recycling and the green economy, examining how waste recycling can be leveraged to foster a green economy in Nigeria. A descriptive qualitative approach was used, and relevant literature from secondary data sources and context were analyzed. The results indicate that waste recycling has not been fully embraced in Nigeria, especially at the household level. Therefore, waste recycling is primarily driven by the informal sector and entrepreneurs. Furthermore, the study reveals the diverse opportunities available through implementing a green economy. It recommends a green economy policy that promotes equity, economic incentives for household waste recycling, and support for entrepreneurs interested in partnering with the government
From Tradition to Future: Sundanese Indigenous Laws as the Vanguard of Environmental Conservation and Disaster Mitigation
Full text linkEnvironmental conservation and disaster mitigation still emphasize science and technology, while the potential of the socio-cultural wealth within communities remains underutilized. This shows a substantial gap, as active community involvement, rooted in socio-cultural wealth, is essential for effective environmental conservation and disaster mitigation. To address the existing gap, this research aims to identify, analyze, and interpret the values of Sundanese Indigenous laws (Pikukuh) that can be utilized and relevant for these efforts. This study used a qualitative method with a case study design in Kampung Naga, Baduy, Kuta, and Cikondang. The results showed that Pikukuh embodied important values for environmental conservation efforts. These rules played a significant role in conserving forests, improving vegetation conditions, enhancing rainwater absorption, ensuring soil stability, preventing erosion, and maintaining the groundwater cycle. These principles are crucial for mitigating natural disasters like landslides, floods, droughts, and climate change. Pikukuh principles need to be incorporated more broadly and actively applied in policies and strategic initiatives to advance sustainable development, as this goes beyond romanticizing traditions and is essential for securing a sustainable future lif
Evaluating Urban Village Fund Management: An Analysis of Planning, Budgeting, Implementation, Guidance, and Supervision
Full text linkThe management of urban village development is currently ineffective, as evidenced by deficiencies in planning, budgeting, implementation, development, and supervision. Additionally, there is a notable shortfall in the quality and quantity of human resources, compounded by inadequate involvement of regional technical officials in providing assistance and guidance. This policy paper aims to review, identify, analyze, and formulate policy recommendations to better integrate the roles of communities and community groups in urban village development. The study employed a normative qualitative approach, utilizing in-depth interviews with Village Heads and community group leaders who are directly involved in village activities and have relevant insights. Data were collected through interviews, empirical studies, and documentary analysis. The findings indicate that implementing activities related to urban village facility and infrastructure development, as well as community empowerment, is “less effective.” Consequently, it is recommended that the Makassar City Mayor Regulation Number 28 of 2020 be revised to provide more detailed guidelines for community or community-group-based activity management
Conservation Policy of Visual Quality in Connecting Area Between Historical Areas
Full text linkAlun-alun Contong, a historical area in Surabaya, connects popular historical areas via a tram line. Today, it features commercial buildings from the Dutch East Indies era, which is dominated by contemporary style. Therefore, historical appearances have become degraded and disconnected from their surrounding areas. Based on the case study, this research tries to construct specific historical conservation policies on connecting areas that have not been discussed before. The mixed method involves several tactics that involve two phases: assessment of the building facade element and serial vision analysis as an internal and external identification. The results show the visual quality condition and potential of an area between two historical areas as a modality of the Alun-alun Contong conservation policy. The research findings enable conservation policies to use this method at other locations to improve or restore connectivity, strengthen visual quality, and ensure the sustainability of the entire urban heritage area.
 
Enriching Soil Organic Carbon for Sustainable Agriculture, Food Security, and Health
Full text linkAmidst a growing global population and climate change challenges, this paper examines the vital role of soil organic carbon (SOC) in sustainable agriculture. Enriching SOC enhances soil fertility, crop productivity, and carbon sequestration, mitigating climate impacts. Prioritizing SOC improves soil structure, water retention, and nutrient availability, raising crop quality. Methodologically, the study combines normative juridical analysis with a qualitative literature review. Results highlight SOC's importance in fostering resilient agriculture and food security despite coordination challenges in policy formulation. Recommendations include incentivizing SOC-enhancing practices, investing in awareness, and fostering multi-stakeholder collaboration. Prioritizing SOC enriches agricultural policies, ensuring sustainable practices, food security, and human well-being, offering a pathway to resilient agriculture and a sustainable future
Income Inequality: A Journey of 200 Years of Economic Thought
Full text linkThe phrase "the rich get richer, and the poor get poorer" encapsulates a phenomenon that has long plagued societies worldwide. Most recently, Riddell et al. (2024) showed that, since 2020, the five richest men in the world have doubled their fortunes. At the same time, almost five billion people have seen their wealth fall. It further argued that corporations and its monopoly power are responsible for driving this unrelenting income inequality. This trend is confirmed by Chen et al. (2019) through an investigation into nearly 1 million firms covering 27 countries. Between 2000 - 2015, there has been a notable increase in corporate market power, especially in advanced economies.
However, there is no easy solution because inequality is deeply rooted in numerous historical, political, and socioeconomic factors. Therefore, it is imperative to look beyond numbers to understand inequality better.
In "Visions of Inequality: From the French Revolution to the End of the Cold War," veteran economist Branko Milanovic takes readers on a journey through the 200-year evolution of economic thought on income inequality. He achieved it by drawing from a diverse source, including original writings, correspondence, and biographical accounts of luminaries in the economics discipline
Sociodemographic Factors and Policy Implications for Improved Food Security
Full text linkEnsuring food security is a pressing challenge facing East Kalimantan, and practical solutions are necessary. With the impending relocation of Indonesia's capital to this region, it's crucial to evaluate the area's food security in light of projected population growth and economic shifts. Prior to the new capital city project, it's essential to understand East Kalimantan's socio-economic factors to develop policies that strengthen food security for the future. This research uses logistic regression to analyze data from the Food Insecurity Experience Scale (FIES) module of the 2021 National Socio-Economic Survey (Susenas-BPS). The results show that 14.75% of households experience food insecurity, while 85.25% maintain food security. Factors such as education, family size, land ownership, marital status, employment, residence, and retirement security influence food security status significantly. However, age, gender, and home ownership have little impact. Notably, agricultural workers are more likely to experience food insecurity, while education and land ownership correlate with higher food security. Additionally, larger families are more vulnerable to food insecurity
From Extractive Mining to Green Tourism: A Case Study of Open Pit Nam Salu Geosite Through Local Community Development
Full text linkExtractive mining has long been central to Belitong Island's economy, particularly tin exploitation since 1908 during the Dutch East Indies period. With Belitong's designation as part of the UNESCO Global Geopark (UGGp), a new opportunity arises to transition toward sustainable economic practices. This research examines the transformation of the Open Pit Nam Salu geosite from a mining-focused economy to an environmentally sustainable green tourism model, emphasizing local community development. Employing a mixed-methods approach, including observations and in-depth interviews with communities and stakeholders, the study explores the geosite's geological and socio-economic potential. It identifies key opportunities and challenges in adopting green tourism while highlighting the critical role of local community involvement in fostering economic resilience. The findings provide a development model that integrates environmental conservation with economic growth. Open Pit Nam Salu's transformation exemplifies how ecological preservation and local economic enhancement can coexist, offering insights for broader application across Indonesia
