No full textMEXT-Supported Program for the Strategic Research Foundation at Private Universities (2014-2018)The paper analyzes the results of the Social Well-being Survey, which consists of personal, relational, and societal well-being in seven provinces of Indonesia. The mean of social well-being is 7.3 while personal and relational well-being means are 8.03 and 6.90, respectively. The variables that have a significant correlation to both personal and relational well-being are educational background, asset, residence, family social status, citizenship, native origin, local belief, race, and ethnicity. Societal well-being is the individual perception on well-being at the macro, systemic, and holistic level of society; its score is at a moderate level (6.2), and its indicators are equal opportunity in higher education (7.8), inclusive treatment for the disabled (7.5), institutional trust (6.6), and a positive view of society's progress regarding the income gap (3.0). The findings also show that it is important to pay more attention to religious and spiritual factors that can enhance social well-being. Finally, the implementation of "happiness mainstreaming" policies can improve social well-being at the micro-individual, meso-relational, and macro-societal levels

A Symbolic Participation of the Local Community in the Implementation of A PROPER-Based CSR Program
No full textPraktik CSR terus berkembang secara kuantitas sebagai salah satu alternatif sumber daya pembangunan yang menjanjikan, namun secara kualitas pengelolaannya masih dominan bersifat karitatif sehingga belum optimal dalam pemberdayaan komunitas. Oleh karena itu, perkembangan studi dan kebijakan di tingkat nasional maupun global terus mencari format terbaik dalam mengoptimalkan peran program CSR pada pemberdayaan komunitas. Sejumlah literatur menunjukkan bahwa partisipasi aktif dan peningkatan kapasitas komunitas akan kurang optimal apabila program diinisiasi dengan pendekatan direktif, top-down, dan kurang memberikan ruang partisipatif berbasis potensi komunitas. Dengan menggunakan metode kualitatif dan teknik wawancara mendalam, tulisan ini menemukan bahwa partisipasi komunitas lokal dalam implementasi CSR PLTU bersifat partisipasi simbolik yang berciri sekadarnya, hanya mobilisasi memenuhi prosedur, peran aktor elite yang lebih dominan pada, sehingga tidak mampu memberdayakan dan meningkatkan kapasitas komunitas secara luas. Tingkat partisipasi komunitas lokal ini hanya sampai pada tingkat penentraman (placation) dan belum sejalan dengan semangat panduan Proper yang bertujuan mencapai tingkat kemitraan (partnership).CSR practices continue to grow as a promising alternative development resource, yet still predominantly charitable in nature, preventing them from optimal community empowerment. Therefore, studies and policies at the national and global levels remain in search of the best format to optimize CSR programs’ role in community empowerment. A number of literature show less than optimal active participation and capacity-building of the community if a program is initiated by a directive, top-down approach, providing only a minimal participatory space based on the community’s potentials. Using qualitative method and in-depth interview techniques, this paper finds that the local community participation in PLTU’s CSR implementation is symbolic and characterized by artificiality, mobilization to meet procedures, and more dominant role of elite actors that hampers empowerment and capacity-building of the community at large. The local community’s participation only reaches the level of placation and is not in line with the spirit of the Proper guidelines aimed at achieving the level of partnership. It is due to the company’s approach that tends to be procedural in fulfilling the Proper parameters without providing sufficient space and time to accommodate the community’s aspirations and potentials, the limited program assistances, and the pragmatic society that has lost its communal character
