The Subject

This article will discuss the importance of awareness to manage household-based trash. In quantity, the volume of waste every year is always increasing, while the Final Dump (Tempat Pembuangan Sampah Akhir—TPSA) is inadequate. Seeing this condition requires awareness the waste management of importance. After being able to collect type-based waste, it will be encouraged to be given away or redeemed with primary needs that have been managed by the board of Neighborhood Association (Rukun Warga—RW). Thus the people of Barongan Jetis Bantul are helped to fulfill the basic needs by way of making the garbage. This research uses Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach, a participatory action research method, which aims to identify the formulation of research problems based on the needs of the subjects studied. The end result of this study is the change for the subject itself, the action is performed as a form of research recommendation PAR. This study is interesting, considering that other studies do not focus on the subject of research, but on the wishes of the researchers themselves.[Tulisan ini hendak membicarakan pentingnya kesadaran mengelola sampah berbasis rumah tangga. Secara kuantitas, volume sampah setiap tahun selalu meningkat, sementara Tempat Pembuangan Sampah Akhir (TPSA) kurang memadai. Melihat kondisi ini diperlukan kesadaran akan pentingnya pengelolaan sampah. Setelah mampu menghimpun sampah berbasis jenisnya, maka akan di dorong untuk bisa disodaqohkan atau ditukarkan dengan sembako yang sudah dikelola oleh pengurus Rukun Warga (RW). Dengan demikian masyarakat Barongan Jetis Bantul terbantu untuk memenuhi kebutuhan pokok dengan cara mensodaqohkan sampah tersebut. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan Participatory Action Research (PAR), yaitu metode penelitian aksi partisipatoris, yang bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi rumusan masalah penelitian berdasarkan kebutuhan dari subyek yang diteliti. Hasil akhir dari penelitian ini adalah adanya perubahan bagi subyek sendiri, adanya aksi yang dilakukan sebagai bentuk rekomendasi penelitian PAR. Penelitian ini menarik, mengingat penelitian lainnya tidak berfokus pada subyek penelitian, melainkan pada keinginan dari peneliti sendiri.]

Epizootic Ulcerative Syndrome

Abstract In Bangladesh, CARE, an international NGO working in development with agricultural and natural resource management as an important component, operated a project funded by the European Union to test the potential of farmer participatory research as a tool to improve the agricultural productivity of farmers. As part of the project activities, participatory action research groups were formed involving farmers with interest to work on the concept. Farmers were encouraged to identify their own farming problems and, based on the identified problems, farmers were assisted to develop their own strategies to solve their problems. Epizootic ulcerative syndrome (EUS) emerged as an important problem in aquaculture for farmers practicing carp culture. Based on the available information on the subject and in consultation with experts in the subject area, treatment strategies were developed by the farmers to manage this major disease, which occurs during the winter season from October to February. Lime, salt, a combination of lime and salt in a 1:1 ratio, or ash, were identified as potential treatment measures during the first year trials. Farmers agreed to apply lime and salt at the rate of 1 kg decimal-1 (1 decimal = 40 m2) as a primary dose followed by a fortnightly application at half the initial dose until the end of the season. Ash was applied at a higher dose of 3 kg 40 m-2 as a primary dose, followed by half the initial dose until the end of the season. A control group of farmers was also maintained within the Participatory Action Research Groups (PARGs). Farmers were not given any financial support for the purchase of inputs, but they were given technical support. Though all farmers did not follow the periodic application at the agreed level of chemicals, all the farmers had made more than one application. The results obtained at the end of first year with 315 farmers were highly encouraging, with good results obtained from the application of lime, salt, or ash. In addition to disease prevention, increase in fish production was noticed by the farmers as a result of application of these inputs to the pond. Following these initial encouraging results at field level, the Institute of Aquaculture, University of Stirling, UK, provided technical and monetary support to continue the study. The results conducted with another group of 232 farmers during second year confirmed the beneficial effects of lime, salt and ash and proved their popularity. In addition to the above treatments, two new treatments involving application of neem (Azadirachta indica) stems with leaves as well as application of adequate fertilisers to ensure green colour of water were also tried. The results confirmed the efficacy of lime, salt and ash as treatment materials to prevent the disease. Though neem stems were not highly effective, farmers were able to derive some relief, but the application of fertilisers to ensure adequate plankton production gave highly encouraging results. Many of these field results could not be replicated under laboratory conditions. Furthermore, a treatment that was effective in one pond did not have a similar effect in a neighbouring pond. These varied results support the view that individual pond ecology influences the effect of treatments adopted. It is thus advisable that every farmer should experiment with the successful treatments in their own pond environment to evolve suitable procedures. Most interestingly, ash, which is commonly available to most farmers as a non-purchased input, can be effectively used to prevent the disease as well as increase fish pond productivity.

Participatory Action Research (PAR), with its emphasis on grassroots empowerment and local control, has a long history as the research method of choice for marginalized communities. However, unsettling questions remain about the nature of power and the promise of PAR as a truly participatory and empowering methodology. In this paper, we summarize the key theorists, principles, methodology, researcher’s role, strengths and limitations of traditional PAR. In the subsequent section, we review current critiques and revisions of PAR. Finally, Khan proposes an adjustment to PAR that reflects the strengths and limitations of PAR and the implications of applying PAR within the bounds of a capitalist social-economic structure.

The Capability Approach

The aim of this paper is to analyse participatory video as a participatory action research method through the lenses of the capability approach. In order to do this, we used a participatory video experience that took place in the municipality of Quart de Poblet (Valencia, Spain) from February to March 2014. The participants were 11 young people between 16 and 24 years of age, severely affected by the economic crisis that has hit Spain in recent years. To develop our analysis, we introduced the participatory video as a technique and a process within the participatory action research methods. Then, we analysed the participatory process to verify the extent to which it had contributed to expanding the capabilities and agency of the participants. The evidence revealed a significant expansion of the awareness capability and, in some cases, of the capability for voice. In contrast, the capability to aspire and the agency of the participants were not expanded, due to contextual factors and the limitations of the process itself.

This article discusses two important studies. First, the way the Kalibeber Wonosobo community handles waste. Second, the model of waste management in the Kalibeber Wonosobo group. This research uses a Participatory Action Research approach. This approach involves the Kalibeber community as an object and subject as well as to deal with waste. The results of this study show two important scopes. First, the Kalibeber Wonosobo community has an initiative to deal with waste. The initiative emerged because the community felt the environment was dirty, the river water flow was obstructed, and many sufferers of itching. Second, the waste management model uses decentralization. Waste management is carried out in each sub-area to be able to reuse waste (recycling). This discourse is different from other studies. The most prominent differentiating side is the active role of the community by being able to separate organic and inorganic waste. The community operates independently with a voluntary financing mechanism.Artikel ini membahas dua kajian penting. Pertama, cara masyarakat Kalibeber Wonosobo menangani sampah. Kedua, model pengelolaan sampah kelompok paguyuban peduli sampah Kalibeber Wonosobo. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan Participatory Action Research. Pendekatan ini melibatkan masyarakat kalibeber sebagai obyek dan subyek sekaligus untuk menangani sampah. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukan dua cakupan penting. Pertama, masyarakat Kalibeber Wonosobo memiliki inisiatif untuk menangani sampah. Inisiatif muncul karena masyarakat merasakan lingkungan kotor, aliran air sungai terhambat, dan banyak penderita penyakit gatal-gatal. Kedua, model pengelolaan sampah menggunakan desentralisasi. Pengelolahan sampah ini dilakukan pada setiap sub area untuk bisa memanfaatkan kembali sampah (daur ulang). Diskursus ini berbeda dengan kajian lain. Sisi pembeda yang paling menonjol, antara lain peran masyarakat yang aktif dengan mampu memisahkan sampah organik dan anorganik. Masyarakat bergerak mandiri dengan mekanisme pembiayaan secara sukarela.

Participatory action research (PAR) represents an epistemological framework, pedagogical approach, research methodology, and process for collaborative social action. PAR processes connect research, education, and action with the aim of addressing inequities to achieve social justice and societal transformation. By disrupting dominant notions of who holds expertise, PAR centers the situated knowledge of marginalized groups who are directly impacted by sociopolitical inequities. Central to PAR are the epistemological questions of whose knowledge counts, what counts as knowledge, who benefits from knowledge, and the purpose and audience for which knowledge is used and disseminated. One of PAR’s central tenets is that the people directly impacted by a societal issue, who must navigate systems of oppression, hold the most knowledge and wisdom regarding the complexities of the issue—and the structures, contexts, processes, and systems that (re)produce it—and how to solve it. PAR acknowledges that those directly impacted by systemic injustices have the most to lose and the most to gain in transforming the root causes of these issues and, therefore, are best positioned to motivate and lead others in partnership to address the root causes of social injustices. While PAR does not represent a collection of discrete practices, various PAR forms and approaches represent contested meanings linked to competing ideological underpinnings, societal interests, purposes, and interpretations depending on the contexts in which it emerges. For example, in some forms of PAR the purpose is to support participants in achieving greater control over their social and economic lives through intergenerational action aiming toward structural change, transforming systemic power relations, social justice that intersects with educational, socioeconomic, gender, queer and trans, disability, and racial justice. PAR recognizes that societal institutions, including schools, typically do not support historically marginalized groups in deepening their analysis of the root causes of injustices they face. The PAR process allows coresearchers to uncover the discourses and ideologies that normalize structural violence. Informed by popular education methods and social movements, PAR employs participatory pedagogical approaches that engage marginalized people in analyzing their lived experiences and contexts to disrupt grand narratives that bolster systems of domination and structural disinvestments in marginalized people’s institutions and communities. As a research methodology, PAR can include qualitative, quantitative, or mixed methods and can include creative methods such as PhotoVoice. PAR products draw on research findings and recommendations to call for new initiatives, practices, and policies and can take many forms such as a presentation to powerholders, an art exhibition, a film, an organizing campaign, or a theatrical performance. PAR allows space, opportunities, tools, and structured processes to enable marginalized groups to examine inequities and injustices and to critique the dynamics of power and neoliberal logic that may manifest in their worlds and within the research team.

In this article, we explore the possibilities of Participatory Action Research (PAR) producing ethical and nuanced knowledge that contributes to developing Filipino migrant workers’ capacity for sustainable political organizing. We discuss our projects with Filipino migrant organizations in the U.S. and Canada. We theorize on the potential of PAR with migrants who are part of highly precarious workforces in global cities. Additionally, we, as immigrant women of colour and scholars, highlight the tensions between academic ethos that prioritizes a rapid ‘publish-or-perish’ culture and the ethos of PAR, which puts into place collaborative processes that can be at odds with the ‘tempo’ of academic work. We highlight the tensions between the academic and reproductive labour of PAR, with the latter being seen by many academic institutions as an ‘inconvenience’ impeding productivity.

How do young people embody activism and artistic praxis as they commit to community-based participatory action research for social change? We consider how the arts might provide a social and shared context for challenging racialized characterizations. Our analysis draws upon arts-based participatory action research projects conducted by the Mestizo Arts & Activism Collective ( https://maacollective.org ), a social justice think tank led by the urgent concerns of young people of color. Specifically, we engage the arts as integral to the research process—an epistemological move that opens up new ways of understanding and knowing our world and representing ourselves.
