No full textBackground: The 1997-1998 Asian Financial Crisis had a profound impact on the economies and governance of many Southeast Asian countries, including Indonesia and Malaysia. The researcher therefore sought to examine the interaction between de jure and de facto political forces that shaped Indonesia & Malaysia's crisis management strategies and institutional reforms. The study highlights the entrenched power of authoritarian leaders with the influence of business elites determining policy responses and the level of public trust. Methods: This research model uses a comparative qualitative study method, analyzing secondary sources such as literature, policies, and historical records. The researcher identifies patterns and differences in governance, economic policies, and institutional responses in both countries, providing an in-depth understanding of the political dynamics and power structures that influence crisis outcomes and impacts. Findings: The 1997-1998 Asian Financial Crisis was caused by liquidity issues, capital inflows, and institutional weaknesses. Indonesia and Malaysia's economic growth was based on fragile foundations, with crony capitalism and power imbalances contributing to the crisis. Addressing power structures, promoting openness, and adopting democratic values are crucial for long-term resilience and fairness. Malaysia implemented capital controls and maintained political stability under the leadership of Mahathir Mohamad, Indonesia's dependence on International Monetary Fund (IMF) assistance and widespread public discontent led to Soeharto's resignation and a shift towards democratization. In other words, the findings underscore the important role of political power dynamics in shaping economic and institutional resilience and provide valuable insights into the governance challenges of non-democratic regimes during crises. Conclusion: The study concludes that the contrasting crisis management strategies of Indonesia and Malaysia during the 1997-1998 Asian Financial Crisis were significantly influenced by the interplay of authoritarian political power and business elite interests. Novelty/Originality of this article: This research offers new insights by exploring how authoritarian power dynamics and the influence of business elites affect the policy strategies adopted, the level of political stability and public trust in both countries

OVOL (one village one link): A rural development initiative based on cultural technology district model to address employment disparities through a community-based approach for social and economic sustainability
No full textBackground: Villages are the foundation of sustainable development, encompassing both physical and non-physical potential that can drive national economic growth and the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) goals 8 and 10. With 83,971 villages in Indonesia, these rural areas contribute significantly to the country's development, contributing 74% to the achievement of national SDGs. However, employment gaps between villages and cities still remain, such as lack of access to employment opportunities, wage gap, and skill gap. This is exacerbated by the demand-supply of labor mismatch and various existing employment policy challenges. Methods: This research used a literature study approach by reviewing various sources from academic journals, official reports, statistics reports, and books relevant to employment disparity problems, previous policies implemented, best-practice, and the Hexa Helix stakeholders as the main actors. Analysis was conducted through a thematic approach to the relevant literature, which was then synthesized to develop a comprehensive solution in order to address employment disparities in Indonesia. Findings: The One Village One Link (OVOL) program---(1) digital center community-based approach, (2) rural development framework, and (3) rural digital center---is initiated with the aims to address this gap by promoting integrated development in villages. By utilizing the unique physical and non-physical potential of each village, OVOL seeks to create rural jobs, reduce wage and skill gaps, and promote inclusive rural economic growth. Conclusion: Through a holistic approach, One Village One Link (OVOL) comes as an innovative solution to overcome employment disparities problem by empowering local potential using the Cultural Technology District (CTD) Model. Novelty of This Study: OVOL serves as comprehensive solution in addressing employment disparities in Indonesia villages, integrating cultural and technological aspect with Cultural Technology District (CTD) Model as the best-practice through community based approach
An ecosystem approach to circular economy implementation and efficiency: A global comparative analysis
No full textBackground: This study examines Indonesia’s adoption of circular-economy (CE) principles through an ecosystem lens and benchmarks national progress against leading global models. Method: Drawing on a review of academic articles, policy reports, and case studies, nine Indonesian initiatives are cataloged, ranging from Mycotech Lab’s biowaste valorization to PT Pertamina’s circular-carbon programs and community-driven collaborations like LTKL. Findings: These examples demonstrate localized successes in waste reduction, resource recirculation, and stakeholder engagement, yet they remain largely sector-specific and pilot-scale. In contrast, regions such as the European Union, China, and Finland operate under comprehensive, economy-wide frameworks with binding targets, dedicated financing mechanisms, and mandatory extended-producer-responsibility schemes. Quantitative metrics from Indonesian projects show material savings (e.g., 2,200 tons of plastic avoided by BulkSource) and emission reductions (e.g., 352,000 ton CO₂eq cut by Pertamina). Meanwhile, qualitative analysis highlights enabling factors, including multi-stakeholder collaboration and eco-innovation; as well as persistent barriers such as policy fragmentation, limited funding, and uneven data availability. A cross-case synthesis shows the absence of harmonized indicators and national coordination, which hinders scaling and aggregation of sectoral gains into systemic impact. Conclusion: It is concluded that Indonesia’s transition to a mature CE requires the establishment of a coherent national roadmap with clear targets, robust monitoring, and inclusive governance structures that integrate informal and rural actors. Strengthening financial instruments, such as green bonds and blended-finance vehicles, and embedding circular criteria in public procurement will be critical to mobilizing investment and promoting widespread adoption. By aligning policy, finance, and community engagement, progress toward systemic circularity can be accelerated. Novelty/Originality of this Article: This study uniquely integrates ecosystem-based evaluation with quantitative and policy-level benchmarking to propose a strategic roadmap for Indonesia’s systemic CE transition
The impact of road infrastructure development on ecosystems and communities
No full textBackground: Road infrastructure is essential for economic growth and improving connectivity between regions. This study looks at how environmental, social, and financial communities are affected by the development of the Arfai-Pami road infrastructure in Manokwari Selatan District, Manokwari Regency. Methods: This research uses qualitative and quantitative methods with the philosophy of positivism. Data were collected in several places in the Arfai and Pami areas, including South Manokwari, through observation, interviews, and document analysis. Result: The results showed that road construction improved accessibility and local economic growth, with an increase in the value of social variables by 0.365 and economic variables by 0.759, respectively. However, apparent consequences include a 33.87% decrease in forest area, a decrease in green space, an increased likelihood of flash flooding downstream due to land use change, and a decrease in infiltration surface area. In addition, road construction causes pollution, habitat disruption, and changes in water flow patterns, which can lead to erosion. Changes in the lifestyle and employment of local people is one of the significant social impacts. Residents benefit from increased employment opportunities, while others face increased living costs and loss of agricultural land. Relocation or compensation is a frequent social issue. The conclusion of this study emphasizes how important it is to balance ecosystem preservation and road infrastructure development. Especially in Arfai-Pami, road infrastructure development should be done holistically considering environmental, social, and economic impacts. Conclussion: To maximize benefits and reduce adverse effects, communities, government, and industry players need to be involved in the planning and implementation of road infrastructure projects
Building agricultural potential: Utilization of former land use rights by spatial planning
No full textBackground: Areas that were once Cultivation Rights (HGU) in Manokwari Selatan District are the subject of this research. Residents must follow the Regional Spatial Plan (RTRW) to use the land. This study aims to identify the potential for land development and analyze the current spatial allocation and arrangement in the former HGU area. Methods: Using system dynamic analysis, the study combined qualitative and quantitative approaches through observations and interviews. Result: The results show that once HGU areas could be developed into plantations or agriculture. This finding is based on land capability evaluated by considering ecological factors and local wisdom. Land use policies should be tailored to the potential and availability of land in this context. To increase the use of agricultural and plantation land, crop types suitable for soil capability can be selected based on land suitability. This research emphasizes the effect of policies on Kampung Gedi Merah's population growth. Using strategies to suppress the population growth rate is expected to reduce land conversion that is not by the RTRW spatial pattern. In 2023, 904 lived in this area without indicating land conversion. One of the critical challenges identified is the projected 33% decrease in land availability by 2030. Therefore, its land use needs to remain cording to RTRW directives. This research also provides recommendations to the local government to develop the potential of this land further so that interference with community use and control can be avoided
The synergy between the government and the society for sustainable sanitation
No full textBackground: Ensuring sufficient and enduring sanitation is crucial for the progress of the community, particularly in Ransiki, where obstacles exist in terms of public involvement and infrastructure. This study examines different strategies for enhancing the quality of housing and sanitation through partnerships between communities and local governments. The process comprises a comprehensive field survey and a thorough interview using a predetermined set of questions. Methods: The data analysis conducted using the Smart PLS approach revealed that the community-based sanitation system in Ransiki was unsuccessful in enhancing the quality of settlements. Result: The primary issue lies in the insufficient sanitary infrastructure and the lack of public sanitation awareness. Establishing sanitation in the courtyard and surrounding regions is the only way to enhance the quality of human resources and settlements. Public engagement in sanitation remains limited, primarily due to insufficient education. While local governments prioritize infrastructure development, such as waste management and TPA, they must broaden their focus to include other areas, such as sanitation education. Moreover, the study revealed that the quality of settlements is directly influenced by factors such as the home environment, household hygiene, and human resources. Enhanced human resources positively impact the use of clean and safe water. Conclussion: This study asserts that improved collaboration between community and government endeavors is vital. Enhancing sanitation in a successful and enduring manner necessitates heightened public consciousness and education regarding sanitation, as well as government policies that are receptive and proactive. This study offers valuable perspectives on constructing efficient and enduring sanitation initiatives in Ransiki and other locations facing comparable circumstances
