Boosting the quality of life through additional general allocation funds for village infrastructure development

“…It caused that good budgetary management meets its objectives, for examples, the provision of basic services highly needed by the community (health infrastructure). These findings are also consistent with previous studies, concluding that the government ability to build and provide infrastructure was proven to significantly improve the quality of life of the community [12], [19], including the domains of psychological health, physical health, well-being, socio-cultural aspects, and environmental conditions [14], [15], [45]. However, this study does not support the findings of previous studies which concluded that village funds did not have a significant effect on improving village development and the quality of life of the community [15], [21].…”

Government spending on health, such as the provision of health resources, did not have any effect on increasing the health quality and life the population either [22], [23].…”

“…On the other hand, another study showed that village funds did not have any significant effect on area/village development [21]. Recent studies have also revealed that the provision of basic services through government budgets had a negative effect on the quality of life of the community [15]. The availability of health resources (including integrated healthcare center/pos pelayanan terpadu (posyandu), health personnel) did not bring any effect on increasing the quality of health of the community [22] due to scarcity of health infrastructure in an area.…”

“…Previous studies have shown that the coverage of basic social services, particularly in terms of health and education, plays a crucial role in improving the quality of life of ethnic minorities, in realizing the construction of transport and communication infrastructures, and in increasing the access to basic social services for ethnic minorities [10]. The ability of the government in assisting the provision of infrastructure, such as housing, education, electricity, and sanitation brings a direct effect on the quality of life [11], [12], health, culture, recreation [13], psychological, physical, and environmental health [14], as well as the wellbeing of the community [15]. Other studies have also shown that fiscal transfer to public services can increase happiness and life satisfaction [16]- [18].…”

Smart Cultivation System: Innovation Concept for Designing a Modern and Automatic Shrimp Farming Technology System Powered by Renewable Energy

“…Indonesia has had one of the breakthroughs through the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries (KKP) with the development of export-based aquaculture with shrimp as one of the leading commodities (Nugroho et al, 2022). In 2014, total production from the world aquaculture sector reached 167.2 million tons, which was 64.15% of the total production in the fisheries sector which reached 260.6 million tons (Halimatussadiah et al, 2020;Sambodo et al, 2021). Shrimp cultivation is a commodity resulting from aquaculture businesses in ponds that needs to be improved both in quality and quantity.…”
