“…Community livelihoods can be sustainable if there is a capability to access resources. On the other hand, policies and institutions can support the capacity to access resources as part of the political environment (Timisela et al 2020). Based on the framework of the concept of sustainable livelihoods, the adaptation process of migrant workers from China can be analyzed in depth in resource utilization and efforts to expand access to different forms of capital as a strategy to sustain livelihoods in Timor-Leste.…”

This article aims to describe, in depth, the experiences of migrant workers from China in maintaining their livelihoods in Timor-Leste through entrepreneurial activities before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. Specifically, this study discusses sustainable livelihoods with the knowledge of migration, adaptation, and entrepreneurship in Timor-Leste. To fulfill these aims, a qualitative methodology with a phenomenological approach was adopted by interviewing eight Chinese migrants who run businesses in Timor-Leste. Furthermore, the framework for the concept of sustainable livelihoods of the Department for International Development (DFID) was adapted to explain, in depth, the phenomena. The finding reveals that economic reasons encourage and attract Chinese migrant workers and entrepreneurs to Timor-Leste. The adaptation process of migrants in Timor-Leste relies on social capital to synergize with local communities in terms of culture, further affecting the comfort and security of entrepreneurship. From the perspective of sustainable livelihoods, migrant workers take advantage of human capital in the process of accumulation of financial capital to enhance their business activities. Meanwhile, migrant entrepreneurship expands their financial capital and human capital into social capital, physical capital, and natural capital. The findings also explain that the mobility and access to financial capital of Chinese migrants are supported through institutional structures, entrepreneurship activities, and policies. Furthermore, to ensure livelihood sustainability and business, Chinese migrants in Timor-Leste can carry out business intensification, extensification, diversification, and transformation strategies.

Good citizens will not do anything that can harm the State even though it is related to personal needs. This study examines the citizenship review of illegal parking in the city of Jayapura, which is detrimental to the state because parking fees are not included in regional income but for personal interests, and this shows the low awareness of being a good citizen. With a qualitative method, this study aims to reveal the causes of rampant illegal parking, the problems that arise, and how local governments respond to them. The sample selected was ten people consisting of five illegal parking officers, three official parking officers, and two officers from the Jayapura City Regional Revenue Service. From the results of the study obtained information that illegal parking in the city of Jayapura is caused by factors: urgent needs, lack of job opportunities, and lack of human resource skills. The impact is a decrease in regional income and inconvenience in the parking area. There are no less illegal parking attendants who act arrogantly, asking for money by force in excess of the parking fee that should have been even though he did not carry out his duties to regulate vehicles that were parked properly. The Regional Government has taken several actions, including controlling parking locations, providing counseling to illegal parking officers, placing official parking officers, and inviting illegal parking officers to register themselves as official parking officers.
