“…Community-based innovation is defined as, "organizations, directly and indirectly, involved in the commercialization of new technology" (Lynn, Reddy, & Aram, 1996). It alters positive change in the community, particularly among its most vulnerable member (Daou, 2017;Pongtanalert & Ogawa, 2015;Kranich & Krannich, 2010). Wang and Liu (2021) have highlighted that community knowledge variety ultimately affects innovation, and community network position has a moderating consequence on the connection among community members.…”

The research examined the challenges and opportunities of community-based innovation in Indonesia by conducting a case study in the Petani Muda Keren (PMK) Bali Community, a pilot community for innovative farming development in Bali province. In addition, the research also provided a knowledge transfer mechanism in the community to explore how innovation diffusion happens in the community. As a group of people with a common interest and mission, a farmer’s community could be an effective place for innovation diffusion by offering emotional support to handle psychosocial issues. Moreover, it could construct its members’ perceptions of technology through social shaping processes. A qualitative case study was applied in the research to explore community-based innovation in Indonesia’s agriculture that highlighted Petani Muda Keren Bali Community. Through observation and in-depth interviews with the community founder and twenty farmers from five regions in Bali, the current research indicates challenges and opportunities of community-based innovation in Indonesia related to several issues, including innovation rate and farmers’ readiness, the perception gap between young and elderly farmer, the inconsistency of young members, and government support and policies to the community.

“…This agency typically offers locally adapted services at the community level using trained local residents (Krannich & Krannich, 1980), thereby enabling the NFPP to empower communities by disseminating contraceptive information, technology, and services locally. Many health clinics were newly set up in (remote) rural communities for this purpose.…”

“…By the 1990s, most Thai women had contraceptive knowledge, and the unmet contraceptive need among married women was down to about 5 per cent (Population Institute, 1991). This ability of Thailand's NFPP to increase contraceptive prevalence and reduce TFR is generally attributed to a combination of a strong demand for contraceptives from the start of the program (Krannich & Krannich, 1980) and a strong government commitment to support the NFPP from its inception (Bennett, Frisen, Kamnuansilpa, & McWilliam, 1990). 4,5 Yet, even though the studies cited above provide convincing empirical evidence of the NFPP's success, other societal changes may also have affected the TFR and the adoption of contraceptive methods.…”

The effects of setting up a National Family Planning Program in local communities on women's contraceptive experiences and fertility in rural Thailand

It is widely documented that Thailand's National Family Planning Program (NFPP) has been successful in increasing contraceptive prevalence and reducing fertility. In this paper, we investigate to what extent setting up the NFPP between the mid 1960s and the early 1990s in local communities per se has added to this success. For this, we use data from the 1992/93 Survey on the Status of Women and Fertility in Thailand (SWAFT). We find that presence of the NFPP in a community is associated with less than two percentage points higher proportion of women with contraceptive experience at ages 15-19, to about six percentage points higher proportion at ages 35-39, and with about a 3 per cent lower completed fertility. Although these associations are relatively small, they are significant and may suggest that setting up the NFPP in local communities per se has been important for a small group of hard-to-reach women with unmet contraceptive needs.

Academics and practitioners often argue indirectly that all the roads to community resilience should be paved with community-based disaster risk reduction (CBDRR) approach. Community-based approach to resilience building has been a discursive material that appeals many disaster management players including international donors, non-governmental organisations and high-level government officials as well as politicians. Some researchers argue that CBDRR is the foundation of disaster risk governance. Unfortunately, globally, there is lack of studies on long-term and real-world experience of CBDRR. This article addresses this research gap by providing insights of CBDRR activities from a village in eastern Indonesia based on long-term studies. The adoption of CBDRR approach in Indonesia took place in the late 1990s and the authors have been part of the early adopters of the framework. Using longitudinal participant observations, this research combined qualitative and quantitative data collected during 1998–2017. It shows the rise and fall of a community responding to disaster risks over time. The article further highlights stories of frustrations and celebrations that surround CBDRR activities implemented by one local community in a dryland village in eastern Indonesia.
