Abstract

ABSTRAK Kredit macet yang tinggi (non performing loan) dan tingkat pengembalian (repayment rate) dana bergulir yang rendah pada kelompok peminjam di wilayah tapal Kuda Jawa Timur pada program Lembaga Keuangan Mikro Swadaya Masyarakat (LKM-SM) disebabkan pelaksanaan program pinjaman dana bergulir program Lembaga Keuangan Mikro Swadaya Masyarakat masih berdasarkan pada tataran proyek bukan tataran program yang berarti aspek pemberdayaan serta partisipasi masyarakat, yang menjadi prioritas utama tujuan program pinjaman dana bergulir, sering kali terabaikan akibat tuntutan proyek yang harus dipenuhi. Padahal tingkat pengembalian pinjaman kelompok peminjam  dipengaruhi secara langsung oleh institusi-institusi informal, yaitu peraturan adat (norma dan sanksi sosial), kohesi sosial dan penggunaan mekanisme sosial dalam menyeleksi pelamar kredit dan menegakkan pelunasan melalui keterlibatan tokoh masyarakat yang berperan penting dalam menegakkan kemauan nasabah mengembalikan pinjaman. Karena dalam hal pembentukan kelompok peminjam seringkali didasari kesamaan budaya dan latar belakang masing-masing anggota kelompok. Alternatif solusi dari permasalahan di atas adalah dengan menggunakan pendekatan modal sosial. Menganalisis berbagai kegagalan pendekatan dalam memecahkan persoalan pengembalian pinjaman, Modal Sosial dinilai efektif dalam memberikan dorongan keberhasilan bagi berbagai kebijakan, baik yang dilakukan oleh pemerintah maupun oleh pihak swasta. Keyakinan ini didasarkan pada kekuatan yang dimilikinya guna merangsang masyarakat membangun secara swadaya yang hasilnya akan memaksimalkan pencapaian dari setiap kebijakan pembangunan yang dibuat oleh pemerintah. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kuantitatif yang ditunjang dengan data-data kualitatif, model yang dipakai adalah model kausalitas yang menggunakan Model Persamaan Struktural (structural equation modelling-SEM) berbasis component atau variance dengan Partial Least Square (PLS). Sementara, untuk menguatkan analisis penelitian juga dilakukan interpretasi data kualitatif. Dari hasil pembahasan didapatkan bahwa hubungan sosial dalam lingkup kelompok peminjam  dapat mempengaruhi interaksi para anggota dalam kelompok tersebut. Jika dilihat dari kecenderungannya, maka secara umum ketiga basis budaya masyarakat yaitu Mataraman, Arek dan Madura hubungan sosialnya dapat terbangun karena kekerabatan,kesamaan kepercayaan, kesamaan wilayah dan kesamaan aktivitas keseharian. Masyarakat berbasis budaya Mataraman lebih mudah melakukan hubungan sosialnya atas dasar kekerabatan dan kesamaan kepercayaan. Sedangkan masyarakat berbudaya Arek berkecenderungan hubungan sosialnya terbangun karena kesamaan wilayah, kekerabatan dan kesamaan aktivitas keseharian. Sementara itu, masyarakat berbudaya Madura secara prinsip hubungan sosialnya terbangun atas dasar kekerabatan, kesamaan kepercayaan dan aktivitas keseharian. Namun, kecocokan perilaku, pendapat, pandangan dan pendirian juga menjadi dasar yang kuat dalam membangun relasi sosialnya. Hal itu tergambar dari ungkapan budaya oreng dhaddhi taretan, taretan dhaddhi oreng, (orang lain bisa menjadi/dianggap sebagai saudara sendiri, sedangkan saudara sendiri bisa menjadi/dianggap sebagai orang lain). Pertanyaan pentingnya adalah bagaimana relasi sosial yang tercermin dari masing-masing kelompok budaya tersebut menjadi dasar pembentukan KSM , memperkuat interaksi di dalam kelompok serta dapat menstimulus peningkatan repayment rate dan efektivitas program. Disimpulkan bahwa karakteristik budaya dan modal sosial pada masyarakat tertentu berpengaruh positif terhadap perilaku masyarakat penerima manfaat dalam melakukan pengembalian pinjaman dan mencerminkan efektif atau tidaknya sebuah program penanggulangan kemiskinan bagi  masyarakat walaupun tidak secara signifikan.

From the discussion, it can be concluded that by using more specific social capital on the lending group of Arek/coastal and Mataraman culture-based  affect the achievement of repayment rate and program effectiveness (sustainability). In contrast to the group of Madurese culture-based lending group, repayment rates do not affect the performance and program effectiveness (sustainability). The role of government, in the Mataraman and Arek culture based lending group does not affect the achievement of repayment rate, contrary to the Madurese culture based lending group, the role of government proved influential on the outcomes of repayment rate. In all three cultural based lending groups, repayment rates proved influence the achievement of the program effectiveness (sustainability), otherwise the role of government in all three cultural based lending groups, does not affect the program effectiveness (sustainability).

Abstract

Public health centers are the spearhead in the implementation of health services in Indonesia. Public health centers are the first level facilities that seek promotive and preventive services to achieve health status. The provision of health services must be supported by adequate health personnel to support the functioning of the community health center. In accordance with its function, public health centers must have at least five promotive and preventive personnel, namely laboratory, pharmaceutical, nutrition, public health, and sanitation analysts. The availability of health human resources (HRH) for public health centers, especially laboratory analysts, nutrition, public health, and sanitation, is still not evenly distributed in the Jember district health centers. HRK planning in Jember Regency is still focused on medical personnel. This research is an exploratory research with a qualitative approach that aims to determine the HRH planning process, especially the promotive and preventive public health centers. The informants in this study were the head of the public health center administration as part of staffing and additional informants, namely analysts, nutrition, public health, and sanitation staff. Based on the results of the study, public health centers still need personnel such as analysts, nutrition, and sanitation. The results of interviews with informants indicated that the community health center did not have a special HRH planning team. In the planning process, the community health center only carried out an analysis of the HRH needs and then submitted them to the Health Office which had an important role in the planning process to meet the HRH needs of the community health center. As an executor, the community health center can only accept the applicable policies. Public health centers cannot do their own recruits because of budget constraints. This is one of the obstacles that hinders community health centers in HRH planning. Another obstacle in the planning process is waiting for a decision from the Health Office to meet HRH needs and the use of forecasting methods that are not yet clear. This causes, there is no common perception among policy makers. Keyword: Public health center, HRH planning, preventive and promotive.

Abstract

The global economic crisis in 2008 shocked and pressured Indonesian macroeconomic and financial system stability. The decline in macroeconomic stability has an impact on banking policy in lending. Most banks in the world respond to the crisis by doing credit rationing, but how about Islamic bank response toward this condition in Indonesia? Therefore, this study aims to examine the effect of Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR) and macroeconomic variables on the amount of Islamic banking financing in Indonesia. The method used in this study is the SVAR (Structural Vector Auto Regression) analysis method. The results showed that inflation, capital, and CAR variables had a significant effect on Islamic bank’s financing amount. In contrast, GDP had no significant impact on Islamic bank’s financing amount which means that Islamic banking in Indonesia was not implemented pro-cyclical based lending policy.

Abstract

Regional development, which is an integral part of national development, is aimed more at matters of improving the quality of society, optimal economic growth, expansion of the workforce, and improvement of people's standards of living, for the sake of prosperity. This well-being is understood more holistically, which covers both economic and psychological well-being. One strategy that can be taken is to use the empowerment model. The articulation of this concept in indigenous peoples' context, which is still widely found in Indonesia, assumes a useful model and is ready to be implemented. This study tries to answer these questions. All of which are formulated based on the experience of researcher involvement for two and a half years. It used a qualitative approach to the phenomenological model. Research participants were determined by setting specific criteria (purposive). Data obtained through a process of depth interviews, focus group discussions (FGD), and structured observations which are then processed using inductive thematic analysis after going through a process of communicative and argumentative validation. The results of this study state that the efforts to empower indigenous peoples (specifically the Mentawai people) are realized through a local kinship system (muntoghat), which is also called uma. Because of the large number of muntoghat, the empowerment effort was then followed up using a broader local kinship system called inter-uma. In this uma and inter-uma, the participants are empowered socially, and economically (socio-economic). The process is then followed up with social and juridical institutionalization, and also the development of networks, involving business people, government, academics, and other independent institutions.
