Industri rumahan mendukung perekonomian pedesaan melalui penciptaan lapangan kerja dan pertumbuhan pendapatan, namun penelitian mengenai perannya sebagai instrumen pemberdayaan masyarakat masih terbatas. Penelitian kualitatif deskriptif ini menganalisis peran industri rumahan dalam pemberdayaan masyarakat dan peningkatan pendapatan di Desa Rampoang, Kabupaten Luwu Utara. Data dikumpulkan melalui observasi, wawancara mendalam, dan dokumentasi dari sembilan informan (tiga pemilik usaha dan enam pekerja), kemudian dianalisis menggunakan model interaktif (reduksi data, penyajian data, dan penarikan kesimpulan). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pemberdayaan terjadi melalui proses enabling, empowering, dan protecting, dengan pemilik usaha memainkan peran dominan dalam menyediakan lapangan kerja, pelatihan keterampilan, dan mengelola keberlanjutan. Selain itu, kualitas produk, kepercayaan pelanggan, dan permintaan pasar secara krusial memengaruhi keberlangsungan usaha dan pertumbuhan pendapatan. Oleh karena itu, industri rumahan tidak hanya berfungsi sebagai aktivitas ekonomi keluarga, tetapi juga sebagai alat pemberdayaan strategis berbasis potensi lokal. Penelitian ini menyoroti bahwa penerima manfaat utama adalah warga setempat yang sebelumnya memiliki keterbatasan akses terhadap pekerjaan dan pelatihan keterampilan. Pada akhirnya, keterlibatan dalam industri rumahan membantu mereka memperoleh pendapatan yang stabil dan memperkuat ketahanan ekonomi rumah tangga secara berkelanjutan.

Low community participation resulting from centralistic leadership patterns remains a primary obstacle in village development, suggesting that the effective implementation of Law Number 6 of 2014 requires strengthening through inclusive leadership models. This study aims to conduct an in-depth analysis of the relationship between the leadership pattern of the Village Head of Bulusari and the effectiveness of community empowerment programs in Central Lampung Regency. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed, with data gathered through in-depth interviews with key informants (the Village Head, hamlet heads, and residents), non-participant observation, and documentary studies, followed by a reductive-categorical analysis. The findings reveal that empowerment in Bulusari Village is manifested through both physical schemes (irrigation infrastructure and roads) and non-physical initiatives (nutritional health and youth development). The Village Head implements a progressive-participatory leadership style that integrates instructive, consultative, and participatory functions throughout every stage of policy-making. Nevertheless, community participation has not yet reached an optimal level due to structural barriers, specifically low collective awareness and village budget constraints. This research contributes to the development of village leadership models based on strengthening social capital as a prerequisite for village autonomy, in alignment with national regulatory mandates.

Irrational use of medicines poses significant health risks, particularly in communities with limited access to pharmaceutical information. This study aimed to evaluate short-term changes in knowledge following education on DAGUSIBU (Get, Use, Store, and Dispose of Medicines Properly) and Beyond Use Date (BUD) among mothers attending Posyandu Jeruk, Semarang. The activity employed a pre–post evaluative design without a control group and involved 20 participants. Knowledge levels were assessed using a structured questionnaire administered before and immediately after the educational session. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. The mean knowledge score increased from 5.75 to 7.40 (p = 0.001), indicating a statistically significant short-term improvement in knowledge. These findings suggest that DAGUSIBU and BUD education was associated with an immediate increase in participant knowledge; however, causal relationships and long-term impacts cannot be inferred from this study.

This study aims to analyze the implementation of sustainable development values by the World Agroforestry Centre (ICRAF) through the Land4Lives project in South Sulawesi. The research focuses on examining ICRAF’s roles as an implementer, catalyst, and partner, as well as the impacts experienced by the community in Pakkasalo Village, Bone Regency. The research method used is descriptive qualitative, with primary data obtained through interviews with ICRAF staff and local community members, and secondary data collected from documents, journals, and reports. The results indicate that ICRAF acts as an implementer through the Land4Lives program, the Young Landscape Researchers Incubator (IPML), village-level food and nutrition security campaign initiatives, and the siALAM website service. As a catalyst, ICRAF fosters innovation through LUMENS and various innovative financing schemes. As a partner, ICRAF collaborates with local governments in assisting the preparation of Green Economic Growth Master Plans. The impacts experienced by the community of Pakkasalo Village include enhanced climate adaptation capacity through land management programs and strengthened food security. Overall, this study highlights the importance of synergy between international NGOs, local governments, and communities in achieving sustainable development.

Women in rural areas continue to face limited access to education and economic opportunities, which prevents their potential from being fully developed. This study analyzes women’s empowerment through the local economic initiative Kelompok Usaha Bersama (KUB) Batik Sekar in Putat Village, Purwodadi District, Grobogan Regency. A qualitative descriptive design was employed, using interviews, observations, and document analysis involving 20 female participants, local stakeholders, and government representatives. The findings show that the KUB Batik Sekar program enhances women’s skills in batik production, financial management, and marketing, which subsequently led to the formation of five new batik groups. Household income increased, reflected by an average percentage rise compared to the previous year. The empowerment process also strengthened women’s confidence, independence, and decision making roles within both the family and community. The proposed empowerment model emphasizes collaboration between skills training, organizational capacity building, and marketing network support. Although challenges remain, particularly in market competition and infrastructure, government and community support helps sustain the program. These findings demonstrate that women’s involvement in the local economy can improve welfare, drive social transformation, and preserve batik cultural heritage.
