“…Another problem comes from the socio-economic status of the local population. South Sumatra is a province of a developing country dealing with socio-economic problems such as poverty and inequality (Akita and Miyata, 2018; Panorama, 2018). So, DRR policies are less prioritized than economic gain.…”

“…They also mentioned that there is a perceived dichotomy between environmental activism and entering the labour market. South Sumatra is a province of a developing country dealing with socio-economic problems such as poverty and inequality (Akita and Miyata, 2018; Panorama, 2018). In this kind of environment, environmentalism might be a luxury few can afford.…”

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to develop an ecosystem-based DRR concept and explore how far the concept can be applied in a disaster-management context.Design/methodology/approachThe authors used the ecosystem concept established by Tsujimoto et al. (2018) as the foundation of this study. They then conducted a literature search to adapt the ecosystem concept to fit the context of disaster management. Thus, they developed an ecosystem-based DRR concept. They used a case study method to test whether the adapted ecosystem concept can be applied to examine a real-life case of disaster management. For data collection, they used qualitative methods; a semi-structured interview with practitioners and other actors involved in disaster-management practice as well as document review. For data analysis, they used thematic analysis to find themes within the data.FindingsBy using this concept, the authors found some actors fulfil their role in the ecosystem toward the DRR effort, some actors are ill-equipped, and some actors are actively working against DRR effort. There are also implementation challenges, as numerous programs are only halfway done due to a lack of resources. However, the main problems of this disaster can be summarized into three categories: technical problems, socio-economic problems and law-enforcement problems. All three problems need to be addressed altogether because even neglecting only one problem would lead to a flawed solution.Research limitations/implicationsOne of the limitations is the respondents' bias. This research aims to find out their part, or more accurately what they are representative of, regarding disaster management for forest and land fire case. As some of the questions may reveal unflattering action or may even hurting their credibility, respondents might not have provided an entirely honest answer. Another limitation is the differing respondents' roles within the disaster. As each of the respondents is a representative of an actor in disaster management, they all have different traits. Thus, this situation makes it challenging to produce similar quality and quantity data for each of them.Practical implicationsAs concluded, the ecosystem-based DRR concept can be used as a framework to examine a real-life case of disaster management. It can be utilized to explain roles, relationships and the whole network of disaster-management actors. The authors hope that this concept could help decision-makers in designing their policies.Social implicationsThe main problems of this disaster can be summarized into three categories: technical problems, socio-economic problems and law-enforcement problems. All three problems need to be addressed altogether for even neglecting only one problem would lead to a flawed solution. However, the yearly reoccurrences of fires and the widespread of illegal and dangerous practice, slash and burn agriculture, are evidence that the government mishandles the other two problems. There is a need for reform within legal institutions and government's treatment regarding local farmers. There is a need for trust, cooperation and synergy between disaster-management actors.Originality/valueThe ecosystem concept has been used widely in the field of management of technology and innovation. However, while ecosystem concept is commonly used in the management of technology and innovation, it is rarely used in a disaster-management context.

“…The implementation of government programs in rural development that are carried out comprehensively has turned out to positively impact village development and community welfare. It implies that the improvements in the implementation of rural development programs must conducted continuously to strengthen community empowerment for rural economic development (Akita & Miyata, 2018;Watts et al, 2019).…”

The effect of rural development in reducing the poverty gap and economic growth has not been much analyzed in recent studies. This study examines the effects of rural development (as calculated by using the Village Development Index, VDI) on poverty and economic growth. Precisely, poverty is measured by the depth of poverty (as measured by Poverty Gap Index, P1) and poverty severity (as measured by Poverty Severity Index, P2) using the aggregate data at the district level in Indonesia. Understandably, many factors influence the effort to reduce the poverty gap in rural areas, and it can be started by improving rural economic development. The result of this study indicates that regions with the VDI categorized as “self-sufficient” and “developed” villages have the potential to reduce the depth of poverty and poverty severity in its areas and to increase economic growth. In contrast, underdeveloped and very underdeveloped regions in their VDI category experienced a more significant gap in the depth and severity of the poverty. This result implies that the Indonesian government must accelerate and improve the development of rural areas, especially in less developed regions. Thus, a better rural development status will attract more opportunities to grow rural economic activities and improve the community welfare.

“…The socioeconomic development of Indonesia unfortunately, are not equally distributed to all Indonesians (Akita & Miyata, 2018;Gatto, Wollni, Asnawi & Qaim, 2017). Rural peasant families in Central Java are experiencing economic depression due to a shift from agriculture to industrial living where the younger generation are no longer willing to work in the rice fields.…”

Intergenerational Patterns of Early Marriage and Childbearing in Rural Central Java, Indonesia

This study aims to explore women's views and experiences of inter-generational early childbearing, and observe the mechanism of inherited early motherhood in Indonesia. Six informants of in-depth interview were women who gave birth before the age of 18 and have a mother or daughter who was also a teenage mother. As women have been through different events in their life trajectories, the feeling and experience of being a teenage mother were expressed differently by the three different generations. Grandmothers expressed their regret for missing their chance to continue their studies when their parents forced them to marry young. Their disappointment with the current economic status and their past sorrow had placed early childbearing as a remorseful event. While the mothers' generation expressed less guilt, daughters showed no regret for their decision to become teenage mothers. Regarding the mechanism by which early childbearing is repeated across generations, social theory seems to be the most convincing approach to explain how the younger generation followed their parents in starting their childbearing early. It appears that, although the younger generation has their own values in making fertility decisions, their attitudes and practices are shaped from their observation towards their parents' fertility behavior.
