Rural Appraisal

Rapid rural appraisal (RRA) is a systematic but semi-structured study used to gain new insight into rural life in a quick manner. The current article describes the RRA conducted in a remote village in Lahad Datu, Sabah. The RRA aimed to address the background of the rural community and identify public health issues. Collection of secondary data, key informants’ interview, field observation and a structured interview with the villagers selected via convenience sampling were applied to obtain necessary data. Findings from informal approaches were summarised. Descriptive analysis was carried out for data collected from structured interview. Water sanitation, sanitation facility, food safety, air pollution, zoonosis and non-communicable diseases were among the potential public health issues identified within the village. A total of 188 villagers participated in the structured interview. The median age was 28.0 (IQR 30.8). The percentage for manual workers were 21.3% while 13.8% were white collars. The illiteracy rate was 12.2% and the poverty rate at 48.9%. A total of 22.3% of respondents reported overcrowded households. The household environment and take-up rate of basic amenities were suboptimal. The highest self-reported chronic disease was hypertension, recording 13 cases. The foremost priority is to fill up the flaws in the public health needs of the villagers. Those challenges require participation from relevant authorities as well as individual empowerment.

Rural Appraisal

Abstract Access to safe drinking water and adequate sanitation is considered as a basic human right. Swachh Bharat Mission – Gramin (Rural), launched by the Government of India in 2014, is hailed as an attempt towards that direction. On 2nd October 2019, India was declared free from open defecation, with rural households having full toilet coverage. However, despite Government claims, the existing literature indicates the presence of slippage: where households practice open defecation despite having access to toilets. Equating progress in sanitation interventions with mere toilet provision presents a partial assessment of sanitation. To address the gap, the ‘Sanitation Well-being’ framework, based on Amartya Sen's concept of justice, has been proposed. It identifies slippage as an outcome of various underlying factors across the sanitation life-cycle. The framework provides a lens to analyse existing frameworks and secondary data sets and finds that they do not capture the dynamism inherent in the sector. The efficacy of the framework has been tested in the rural district of Shravasti, Uttar Pradesh, India, through the rapid rural appraisal method. Through our investigation, we found that slippage exists in the field, and that the framework is a feasible instrument to assess sanitation as a comprehensive phenomenon.

Collaboration Process

The main strategy of poverty alleviation in Bandung is directed to reduce the poverty rate. But the countermeasures that have been done by the relevant parties have not reached the target set. BPS data in 2019 showed the number of poor people reached 84,670 or 3.38% of the total population. In the last five years, the poverty rate has never reached 1% in accordance with the RPJMD target. On the other hand, all parties agree on the importance of building a system of partnership, coordination, and collaboration between local governments, communities, and non-governmental organizations in collaborative governance. The establishment of the Coordination Team for The Acceleration of Poverty Alleviation (TKPK) Kota Bandung became an important forum in achieving the target of reducing poverty rates. This research aims to find out how the implementation of collaborative governance principles at TKPK Kota Bandung. This study uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive analysis method to find out the existing condition of ongoing collaboration. The data source is obtained from in-depth interviews, field observations as well as secondary data. The results showed that the principles of collaborative governance by TKPK Kota Bandung have not been optimal. The existence of a special meeting forum is more often very important to build a common understanding of the roles and responsibilities of each stakeholder. Optimization of facilitative leadership and institutional design is also indispensable to provide encouragement to the collaboration process that tends to be slow to show temporary results.

This research explores the construction of a geotextile ATV corridor connecting two separate village subsets, Oscarville-Napakiak and Akiak-Akiachak, in the Kuskokwim River delta. Cost-benefit analysis was used to compare the costs of constructing a geotextile trail to the benefits derived from the reduction of injuries, fatalities, and fuel consumption observed on the existing river transportation corridor during a 20-year period. Secondary data was collected for population estimates, fatality and injury rates, while the rapid rural appraisal approach was used to access the traffic rates between each village subset. The results reveal that the construction of a geotextile ATV corridor in the Alaskan bush would prove to be an economically feasible transportation alternative.

Indonesia merupakan negara pengekspor utama benih lobster ke negara-negara produsen lobster di dunia. Penetapan PERMEN KP No. 1 tahun 2015 berimplikasi pada larangan penangkapan lobster ukuran benih di Indonesia. Kajian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis data dan informasi terkait status pengelolaan sumberdaya benih lobster dan dampak dari peraturan tentang penangkapan lobster, serta potensi pengelolaan sumberdaya benih lobster alam tersebut melalui pengembangan budidaya. Pengumpulan data telah dilakukan pada tahun 2015 melalui survai lapang, focus group disscussion/FGD, dan rapid rural appraisal/RRA. Hasil kajian memperlihatkan bahwa kawasan perairan Pulau Lombok memiliki potensi benih lobster yang sangat besar. Adanya regulasi yang melarang penangkapan benih lobster menyebabkan berbagai dampak sosial-ekonomi terhadap kehidupan masyarakat pesisir Pulau Lombok. Besarnya potensi benih lobster membuka peluang untuk pengembangan aktivitas budidaya pembesaran lobster, sehingga masyarakat mendapatkan mata pencaharian alternatif sebagai pengganti aktivitas menangkap benih. Namun hal ini harus didukung dengan peninjauan dan penyesuaian kembali PERMEN KP No. 1 tahun 2015 terkait larangan penangkapan lobster khususnya ukuran benih, sehingga masyarakat diizinkan untuk menangkap benih lobster untuk kebutuhan budidaya.Indonesia is main exporter of spiny lobster seeds to lobster-producer countries in the world. Establishement of Minister of Marine Affairs and Fisheries Regulation (PERMEN KP No. 1, 2015) had implications on the capture prohibition of lobster seeds in Indonesia. This study was aimed to analyze data and information which relate to management state of lobster seed resources, the impacts of the lobster capture regulation, and the potencies of lobster seeds resource management through aquaculture development. Acquired data are from field survey, focus group disscussion (FGD), rapid rural appraisal (RRA), and secondary data from related institutions. The result showed that Lombok Island waters area had a great potencies of lobster seeds. Prohibition of seeds capture activities through the regulation has caused various socio-economic impacts on coastal communities in Lombok Island. The magnitude of the lobster seeds potencies gives opportunities for lobster aquaculture development, thus people could get an alternative livelihood other than seeds capturing. However, this has to be supported by reconsideration and readjustment of KEPMEN KP No. 1 2015 related to lobster capture in particular for the seed size, so that the seeds capture activities could be allowed for aquaculture need.

Abstract Introduction: Amputation is a trauma that involves important functional, psychological and social sequelae. The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) is based on the biopsychosocial model and enables understanding functioning and disability through the interaction of its components. Objective: This study’s aim was to depict functioning and disability using the ICF conceptual interaction model from the perspective of individuals who suffered a lower limb amputation. Methods: The qualitative approach was used and included a semi-structured interview held with six participants. Results: All the participants used assistive devices such as crutches, wheelchairs or walkers: three used prostheses and the other three emphasized their difficulty in acquiring prostheses from the Social Security Service or Public Health System. Social support, especially that provided by family and friends, is a major facilitator. The importance of acquiring and adapting prostheses to enable the rehabilitation of amputees became clear; however, rehabilitation is not restricted to the acquisition of prostheses. A rehabilitation program directed to restoring functionality is needed. Conclusion: The multidirectional approach using the ICF’s conceptual interaction model enabled important insights concerning public health issues, such as obstacles related to the access to rehabilitation services and a lack of preparedness on the part of health professionals in relation to care provided to amputees.
