DILEMA EKSPANSI PERKEBUNAN KELAPA SAWIT DI INDONESIA: SEBUAH TINJAUAN SOSIOLOGI KRITIS

Palm-oil is inseparable from our daily lives, due to its varied products and utilities. The research findings show that, firstly, Enlightenment aiming at raising human's dignity through ratio development is drawn into technical-oriented ideology. For the sake of economic growth, political stability acts as the ultimate condition, so that the palm-oil estate itself has kept people away from democracy and political freedom. Secondly, success of Indonesia in achieving export target and state income is an achievement, when measured merely by quantitative framework. However, in order to understand the process comprehensively, qualitative dimension of the success also needs to be considered. In fact, such expansion fails qualitatively. It can be seen from the emergence of land rights conflict and dependency-relation between farmer and palm-oil companies, as well as environmental problems as a result of the expansion. The quantitative success aiming at achieving certain targets has sacrificed the usage of palm-oil for the people and environment

A study on social network transformation of river restoration movement is very important as it is related to the network’s ability of adapting to various changes and a movement’s sustainability. This research aims to reveal the history of movement emergence, tactic, and strategy, process and procedure of social network establishment and social network transformation. An ethnographic approach was chosen by involving Komunitas Pemerti Kali Code (Code River Observer Community) as the main subject of current research. Data collection was conducted through live-in-society process for 2 months to conduct participant observation, in-depth interview and Focus Group Discussion. Data analysis was constructed using Mario Diani’s theory about social movement as a network. The result of research shows that the first factor is the emergence of problem and grievance about river contamination by rubbish and waste due to people’s poor literacy about river. The second one is movement strategy and tactic used in the form of structural and cultural approach to restore the river. The third is the process of creating social network based on shared idea, value, norm, collective identity, and interest related to the river.

Open Street Map-Based Participative Mapping for River-Kampong in Surakarta

Open Street Map (OSM) is a free-editing world map providing web-based spatial information that can be changed in the sense of data updating by everyone, whenever, and wherever. With the data yielded, OSM is very useful in social mapping, disaster mapping, economic mapping, and an area’s terrain mapping, particularly, urban area. In Surakarta, OSM is used for the first time in mapping Kali Pepe (Pepe River) specifically aiming to map the river stream area to cope with flood disaster and generally aiming to provide spatial information with recent data in Surakarta. The utilization of OSM in Kali Pepe mapping was expected to be the beginning of OSM development in Surakarta that would provide digital map data that can be used not only for responding to disaster but also for providing usable data as the reference in policy formulation for Surakarta City Government in economic, cultural and development areas.This study aims to show the result of OSM utilization in the mapping of Kali Pepe in Surakarta for society, stakeholders related to spatial information and also government as the policy maker. The conclusion is that OSM is one of digital mapping that was not popular in Surakarta due to its limited information and accessibility

Techniques of collecting data used were observation, in-depth interview and documentation, while data analysis was conducted using an Interactive Model of analysis with materialist theory. Results: Structural, financial and personal or cultural constraints were found: less target-appropriate health insurance policy, expensive cost of delivery with section caesarian surgery and breastfeed-substituting formula milk, and limited knowledge, experience and negotiation with the service provider leading to the HIV-infected Poor Women’s limited accessibility to comprehensive and sustainable PMTCT. PMTCT socialization, the giving-birth insurance and Food Supplementation program activation by Empowerment Work Group in AIDS Coping Commission in Surakarta City was the opportunity to access PMTCT service. Conclusion: Although PMTCT resulted in some problems, particularly formula milk administration and delivery process with section caesarian surgery, this attempt should be taken to make the baby born healthy. For that reasons, PMTCT service and health insurance should be improved from beneficiary data to accessible and sustainable procedure

Upaya Membangun Kemitraan dalam Pengelolaan Sungai yang Berwawasan Lingkungan

Pengelolaan sungai yang terdiri atas konservasi sungai, pengembangan sungai dan pengendalian daya rusak sungai dilakukan dengan melibatkan instansi teknis, swasta maupun masyarakat yang tinggal di sekitar kawasan sungai. Salah satu pendekatan yang dapat ditempuh adalah dengan menjalin kemitraan diantara pihak yang berkepentingan dan memastikan pengelolaan sungai yang berwawasan lingkungan. Penelitian ini menggunakan studi eksplorasi pada tahun pertama. Teknik observasi, wawancara mendalam (indepth interview) dan Focus Group Discussion (FGD) dikembangkan dengan mengeksplorasi strategi pengelolaan sungai yang berbasis kemitraan dan berwawasan lingkungan. Adapun untuk kebutuhan penelitian ini maka akan dipilih Kota Surakarta sebagai sebagai lokasi studi dengan pertimbangan bahwa kota ini memiliki 4 sungai utama dan melintasi 43 kelurahan dari 55 kelurahan yang ada. Kondisi sungai di Kota Surakarta terus mengalami degradasi yang disebabkan oleh cara pandang masyarakat yang menempatkan sungai sebagai halaman belakang sekaligus tempat untuk membuang sampah maupun limbah rumah tangga maupun industri. Oleh karena itu berbagai upaya dilakukan melalui serangkaian kebijakan dan program pemerintah untuk mengurangi persoalan terkait dengan sungai. Peran serta masyarakat juga dilakukan dengan berbagai inisiatif maupun program yang dibentuk oleh pemerintah yang berasal dari beberapa kementrian atau Dinas. Kemitraan yang terbangun terlihat antara Dinas dengan komunitas peduli sungai yang menjadi bentukannya. Inisiatif dan gagasan program masih bersumber dari pemerintah, sementara komunitas atau warga berfungsi sebagai pelaksana program. Upaya mendorong kemitraan dalam pengelolaan sungai perlu terus dilakukan dan dikawal agar kepentingan masing-masing pihak baik pemerintah atau masyarakat dapat terkoordinasi dan terkoneksi dengan baik
