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.

The pilot project was conducted in Posdaya Jaya Kencana, Pabean Udik Village, Indramayu District, Indramayu Regency (fishermen communities) and in Posdaya Eka Mandiri, Cihideung Udik Village, Ciampea District, Bogor Regency, West Java Province (agriculture communities). The results show that Posdaya is potential institution that can be use to develop activities to strengthen the functions of the family. In addition, Posdaya can also serve as a forum for communication in the prevention and treatment of domestic violence.Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui peran Posdaya dalam mewujudkan keluarga yang ideal dan harmonis. Akibat dari kemiskinan, perubahan gaya hidup konsumtif dan melemahnya makna keluarga, hal tersebut berpotensi mendorong KDRT dan human trafficking. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan participatory action research (PAR) untuk pengembangan model pemberdayaan keluarga berbasis kelembagaan lokal Posdaya. Pilot project dilakukan di Posdaya Jaya Kencana, Desa Pabean Udik, Kecamatan Indramayu, Kabupaten Indramayu (komunitas nelayan) dan di Posdaya Eka Mandiri, Desa Cihideung Udik, Kecamatan Ciampea, Kabupaten Bogor, Provinsi Jawa Barat (komunitas pertanian). Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa Posdaya merupakan lembaga yang potensial dikembangkan sebagai wadah koordinasi kegiatan penguatan fungsi-fungsi keluarga. Selain itu, Posdaya juga dapat berfungsi sebagai forum komunikasi dalam upaya pencegahan dan penanganan KDRT.

This article describes the use of a participatory action research (PAR) approach to developing a self-management resource for persons living with dementia and care partners. Despite growing evidence that persons with dementia are able to contribute in meaningful ways to decision-making about their care and life preferences, few opportunities exist for them to participate in the design of resources and services meant for them. There is also a need to support the self-management of persons living with dementia with the provision of accurate, high quality, user-friendly information. The Living Well with Dementia resource was developed through a partnership with persons with dementia, family members, Alzheimer Society representatives, primary care providers, and researchers. The methods used in the development of this resource are outlined in six steps employed in this process, from establishment of a PAR team to final resource creation. Informed by a whole systems approach, the resource brings together essential components of self-management into a comprehensive system of care and support for living. It empowers users to be active participants in the application of new knowledge to their lives. Better self-management has important implications for access to health care and quality of life for persons with dementia and care partners.

Tackling racism in prisons has a relatively long policy, practice, and research history in England and Wales. However, clear evidence of success in reducing racism in prisons has been, and still is, difficult to find. This article is based on a unique study that was carried out either side of the new millennium (late 1999 to mid-2001), but no equivalent exercise has been repeated since. Due to a unique set of circumstances at the time the study was carried out, it became possible to employ an action research approach that required policymakers, practitioners, volunteers, and researchers to agree on: an emergent research design; implementation; intervention; and measurement. There are many forms of action research, but this study could best be defined as a “utilization-focused evaluation, which is particularly applicable to the criminal justice environment. This approach also included elements of participatory action research.” The emphasis here is to show how the action research approach can be both more systematic and more flexible than traditional social science approaches. This applies to both epistemological and research methods considerations, because, by combining theory and action, action research can provide a more viable way of ensuring that policy works in practice, and is sensitive to unique institutional exigencies. Throughout, discussion is contextualised using policy, research and methodology texts from the period when the research was commissioned, but given an overall methodological context by referencing more recent methodology text books. The article first outlines the context in which the action research study was commissioned, before providing a summary of the international research findings on race relations in prisons, from which key concepts for the project were initially operationalized. The chapter then explains how the specific participatory action research approach was selected as the most appropriate design, the extent to which the approach was successful, and why. The article ends with a discussion of the implications of findings and conclusions from this study for current policy and methodological approaches.

The collective involvement of patients and clients in health care organizations is valued in our Western society. In practice, giving form to this involvement seems to be a complex process. In this paper we present our learning experiences with a process of enhancing the involvement of older people in a residential care home in the Netherlands, by using a participatory action research approach, called PARTNER. This approach is inspired by responsive evaluation and developed for the context of long-term care. We use concepts of Habermas’ theory to understand what happens when trying to create communicative spaces through dialogue. Our learning history shows that the involvement of residents is not an easy task, because power issues are at stake. System values seem to dominate the lifeworld and expert knowledge seems to be more valued than expressed emotions and narratives of residents. Researchers who use participatory action research must be aware of these issues of power, often hidden in language and discourse. Dialogue can be a vehicle to enhance mutual understanding, when attention is paid to underlying values, assumptions and meanings of all people. Then, the gap between system and lifeworld can be bridged and communicative spaces can be opened up.
