The purposes of this paper are (a) to illustrate patterns of development of not only publicexpenditures on education and health sectors, indicators of human development, and poverty indicators inCentral Java province, (b) to identify and analyze the role of the Human Development Index (HDI) withregards to the relationship between government spending for education and health sectors and povertyreduction in the province: whether the HDI as a moderator variable or intervening variable. The data usedwere government expenditures in education and health sectors, HDI and regional poverty rates in 35 districts /cities in Central Java, in the period of 2007 to 2008. The study suggests that (a) in general, in the year 2007 and2008, government spending patterns in education and health sectors, HDI and the percentage of the numberof poor in the regencies / cities demonstrated a positive trend. That is, the increase in government spendingon education and health sectors was followed by not only an increase in HDI but also by a decrease in thepercentage of the population is the poor. Interestingly, the study suggests that HDI was more dominant to be a“pure moderator” variable rather than to be an intervening variable. This infers that the relationship betweengovernment spending on education and health sectors and the alleviation of poverty is reinforced by the roleof HDI. Consequently, government spending on education and health sector did not by itself affect the povertyreduction directly.
This study evaluates the role of stakeholders in the Rural Infrastructure Development Program (RIDP) and analyzes the intensity of community participation in the program implementation with a willingness to pay. Also, it analyzes the factors that influence community empowerment. This research uses sequential mixed method with descriptive statistics, Context Input-Output and Outcome Process (CIPOO), Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Willingness to Pay (WTP). The results of the analysis show that the main actors in the community empowerment program are the community followed by the local government, academician, and business actors. The community WTP is IDR 5,100, which helps them to maintain sustainability and maintain projects built by the government actively. The empowerment process is the most important factor followed by context and input as the second priority, while output and outcome become the third priority.
Tourism becomes a hotly discussed topic because it has a significant impact on the economy, social, and culture. This study analyzes changes in yard land use to support sustainable tourism based on local culture, namely the culture of harmony. This research was conducted through two approaches. The first was carried out qualitatively to see changes in depth in the use of Ubud community yards. The second is done quantitatively with the help of statistics to determine the impact of these changes. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with people who own land changes and through questionnaires. The selection of informants was based on recommendations from the traditional village leadership using the snowballing method. A total of 38 land owners have filled out the questionnaire correctly. The results of the qualitative research explained that most land-use changes were in palemahan 0r teba, which were initially used as a breeding place, remove dirt, and gardening functioned as a place to stay for tourists. The quantitative results explain that land changes based on a culture of harmony have a positive impact on the economy, social, culture, and environment. The results of this study support the development of sustainable tourism which is an important issue in today's era.
This study aims to analyze and evaluate the implementation of agricultural extension on bridging the critical point between environmental performance and agricultural productivity based on community needs and the role of agricultural extension in increasing productivity, reducing the number of poor and environmental degradation. This research uses sequential mixed method with stakeholder analysis and descriptive statistics. This research was conducted on 31 samples of farmer groups in Kejajar Subdistrict, in Dieng plateau area, Central Java Province. The results showed that the level of effectiveness of farmer group participation was classified as medium. The role of stakeholders and academics is still low, but the role of agricultural extension officers is relatively high because they are more responsive to the farmers' needs. The implementation of agricultural extension in Dieng area has not fully utilized demand driven basis due to institutional and regulatory factors that have not fully supported the role of agricultural extension officers in the field. In addition, it is also found that the competence of agricultural extension officers is still low so that they have not been able to carry out demand-driven extension function.
The difference of economic conditions and job opportunities inter countries can be one of the causes why manpower migration to the socially and economically beneficial countries happens. This research is aimed at analyzing some factors, which effect TKI (Indonesian Man Power) migration to foreign countries. Beside, this study is also aimed at analyzing the migration patterns of Indonesian Man Power to work abroad. The sampling method is carried out with multi stage, namely according to the Job groups power working in target countries. To analyze the factors which effect why Indonesian manpower migrates and works abroad is used "place utility" model or modificated "migration intention". Using logic binary regression and logic multinomial carries out data analysis.The analysis outcome shows that there are five factors which effect why Indonesian manpower migration and works abroad, i.e. marital status, family burden, social, economic, and job experience factor. While other factors, statistically cannot explain how Indonesian man power work and stay abroad. Seen from statistic significance, the main factors which effect the Indonesian manpower intention to work abroad are job experience abroad, the number of income, maritalstatus, the number of family burden, and the length of stay in the target country.
