Full text linkInstitutionally, the Tourism Awareness Group (Pokdarwis) has encouraged community participation in each village (pekon) to optimize the potential of natural, cultural, and human resources as tourist attractions. This study aims to describe in-depth the dynamics of the collaboration of the Tourism Awareness Group in Pringsewu Regency to increase public awareness in each village about the benefits of the tourism sector for the sustainability of household livelihoods, preservation of social-cultural values, and environmental sustainability. This study uses a community-based tourism perspective. Meanwhile, the qualitative research method with a case study approach is used for three tourist objects developed by Pokdarwis, namely Akasia valley, Talang Indah, and Teluk Kenyo. Retrieval of research data is conducted using in-depth interviews, observation, and document study while, data processing uses triangulation techniques to obtain valid and credible information. This study indicates that Pokdarwis in each village (pekon) are organized because the Pokdarwis Communication Forum is the central organization that connects 37 Tourism Awareness Groups throughout the Pringsewu Regency, Lampung Province. Proactively, Forkom Pokdarwis establishes communication with the government, local entrepreneurs, academics, and rural communities to optimize natural, cultural, and human resources by pioneering tourist destinations.

Comparative Analysis of Social Economic and Ecological Progress of “Oil Palm Village” and “Non-Oil Palm Village” Communities
Full text linkThis study aimed to analyze the level of social, economic, and ecological progress of the Oil Palm Village communities and compare the level of social, economic, and ecological progress between the Oil Palm Village and Non-Oil Palm Village communities. Indonesia is one of the major palm oil-producing countries in the world. Palm oil has brought economic benefits nationally and also to local communities. However, in its development, there has been a controversy surrounding the palm oil commodity, namely in the case of Indonesian palm oil which is related to the issues of deforestation and territorialization due to the economic interests of palm oil versus the existence of forest areas. This study used a Quantitative Approach with Secondary Data Methods from primary sources (Ministry of Village, Development of Disadvantage Region, and Transmigration, BPS, and Directorate General of Plantation) with the village communities as the unit of analysis. As many as 524 village communities were selected from the population of Oil Palm Villages and Non-Oil Palm Villages in eight provinces of Indonesia’s oil palm centers with a combination of Purposive Multistage Sampling and Propensity Score Matching methods. Descriptive analysis, comparative analysis, analysis of the difference in progress using the Difference in Difference (DID) model, and the binary logistic regression method were carried out in this study. The results of the study revealed the facts that there has been an increase in social, economic, and ecological progress in various Oil Palm Village communities. The level of social, economic, and ecological progress of Oil Palm Village communities is higher than that of Non-Oil Palm Village communities. These facts indicate that the community sustainability level of the Oil Palm Village communities is superior to that of the Non-Oil Palm Village communities
Islamic Populism in Rural Indonesia: An Agrarian Change Approach
Full text linkA massive demonstration in Jakarta called “Aksi Bela Islam” (Action to Defend Islam) marks a continuity of the Islamist currents in post-New Order Indonesia. Many observers called it “Islamic populism”, a populist, cross-class alliance on behalf of the Islamic masses or “ummah” against capitalist development that has marginalized Muslims in the struggle for access to economic and political resources. However, despite this refreshing approach, many studies on Islamic populism still concentrate on the state (instead of capital) and the urban areas in explaining the development of Islamic populism. This article, therefore, offers a different approach to analyzing Islamic populism through the understanding of capitalism as a social relation and shifts to the countryside as its empirical basis by focusing on the case study of Bulak village in West Java. By combining insights from the literature on agrarian change and populism as a political strategy and adopting qualitative methods namely in-depth interviews (including oral history) and field observation, this article found that contemporary Islamic populism in Indonesia is a result of the specific development of capitalist relations in the context of rural agrarian change. In addition, it also found that Islamic populism is not a phenomenon confined to the urban areas, since it also spreads to the countryside. Moreover, Islamic populism in the countryside has distinctiveness, related to context, social background, and the ways it is mobilized
Manajemen Konflik dalam Pengembangan Wisata Desa Cibitung Wetan, Kecamatan Pamijahan, Kabupaten Bogor
Full text linkSeiring dengan berkembangnya sebuah komunitas, konflik pun pasti terjadi. Hal ini pun berlaku untuk komunitas wisata Curug Cikuluwung. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis konflik dan bagaimana pengelolaannya. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan metode studi kasus. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan terdapat dua peristiwa konflik pada pengembangan wisata Desa Cibitung Wetan, yakni konflik antara BUMDes dengan warga dari desa tetangga (Desa Pamijahan) dan konflik antara pengelola inti wisata desa Curug Cikuluwung dengan pemerintah Desa Cibitung Wetan. Konflik pertama sudah ada solusinya, namun konflik kedua belum ada solusinya. Upaya-upaya untuk menyelesaikan konflik sudah dilakukan oleh komunitas berupa manajemen konflik berbasis komunitas (Community-Based Conflict Management), namun belum menjadi solusi. Perlu ada mediasi dari pihak-pihak yang memiliki kewenangan atas wisata desa untuk memfasilitasi atau memediasi pihak-pihak yang berkonflik seperti dari Pemerintahan Kecamatan Pamijahan, Dinas Pariwisata Kabupaten Bogor, Dinas Pemberdayaan Masyarakat Desa Kabupaten Bogor dan atau dari PT Indonesia Power.As a community develops, conflicts are inevitable. This case also applies to the Curug Cikuluwung tourism community. This research aims to analyze the conflicts, and how to manage the conflicts. This study used a qualitative approach with a case study method. The results of the study indicate that there are two conflicts that have occurred in the tourism development of Curug Cikuluwung village, namely, the first is a conflict between BUMDes and residents from a neighboring village (Pamijahan Village), the second is a conflict between the core manager of Curug Cikuluwung village tourism and the Cibitung Wetan village government. The first conflict has already had a solution, but the second conflict has no solution yet. The community has practiced community-based conflict management but it has not yet become a solution. Therefore, there is a need for mediation from parties who have authority over village tourism to mediate the conflict parties from the Pamijahan District Government, the Bogor Tourism Office, Bogor Village Community Empowerment office, and or Indonesia Power Company
Co-Production of Knowledge as a Basis of Behavioural Change in Indonesian Sanitation Services: The Case of Sumberdawesari Village, Pasuruan Regency, East Java
Full text linkThis study is focused on the change in new behaviour and routines on the issues of safe water and sanitation in Indonesia. The aim of this study is to explain the deconstruction of people\u27s consciousness and societal knowledge on wastewater treatment plant (IPAL) facilities and the resulting behavioural change. By positioning programmes of safe water, sanitation, and the local value of healthy living as the “life projects”, this article attempts to re-examine the position of local communities in this project. Life projects are programmes that adhere to the local histories of communities in perceiving ‘development’. Life projects are premised on densely and uniquely woven \u27threads\u27 of landscapes, memory, expectations, and desire. In this regard, this article tries to disclose the participation of local communities in planning, managing and integrating local values and global visions of proper sanitation development programs in their villages. This study was a micro one conducted at Sumberdawesari village, in Pasuruan, East Java. Sumberdawesari is one of the IWINS-USAID’s pilot projects of the communal IPAL programme. This research utilizes the life history approach with the data collection techniques of observation, biography, focus group discussions, and in-depth interviews. The nature of this study focuses on the desire to share information about low-level experiences of local communities regarding the availability and the sustainable management of water and sanitation toward a healthy and self-reliance settlement. This research finds the increased awareness of the population in implementing sanitation development programs at the level of habitus, individual, household, community, and social structure through the dimensions of contextual, managerial and technical knowledge
