Community based water management and social capital.

Community Based Water Management and Social Capital provides scientific understanding of community based water management and how to secure responsible management to satisfy quality and quantity requirements. It shows how community based water management can be synchronized with public water service, by introducing the most recent field experiments and theoretical studies in economics, social science, engineering, and regional planning which include game theory, microeconomics, econometric, statistics, social network analysis, social choice, and micro finance. Community Based Water Management and Social Capital presents field experiments and theoretical studies in economics, social science, engineering, and regional planning to investigate important questions: The book provides students, researchers, practitioners and governments with a comprehensive account of the current situation and perspectives on voluntary water management. It delivers a new scientific understanding on sustainable water management schemes and appropriate institutional social structures to secure inalienable rights to access to water.

Structural Model of Formation Factors of Tourism Policy in Nganjuk Regency: Tourists’ Perspectives

Nganjuk is one among 29 regencies in East Java Province which has abundant tourism potential, in the form of both natural and man-made tourism objects. However, the number of both domestic and foreign tourists has not shown significant progress, as registered in the Statistical Data of Nganjuk Regency (2016). In addition, numbers of tourist decreased in 2014. As a consequence, this tourism sector has not made a significant contribution toward the local income of the regency. Based on that current situation, there are two main research aims for this study: (1) what are the influential factors toward tourism policy and (2) what are the interrelations between the influential factors toward tourism policy in Nganjuk Regency. There are three tourist destinations used as case studies, namely, Air Terjun Sedudo, Air Merambat Roro Kuning, and Air Terjun Singokromo. Input data was collected from 190 visitors and is analyzed by structural equation modeling (SEM). The estimation results of the modeling indicate that there are four factors that could have a significant influence on tourism policy in Nganjuk Regency – infrastructure, motivation, society, and marketing mix.

Energy Conversion in Compliance of Energy Self-Sufficient Village Program. Case Study: Jarak Village

The Energy Self-Sufficient Village (ESSV) is one of the main programs from Goverment of Indonesia (GoI) initiated in 2007 and addressed to improve the capability of rural areas to meet the local energy demand from renewable energy. The fulfillment of 60% energy demand is required in ESSV and the source of the energy must be renewable energy. Jarak Village has potentialas to be developed as an ESSV since it has 237 cattles generated manure waste can be converted into biogas. However, the actual conditions showed that the utilization of manure waste as source of biogas is only 14% or about 124,2 kWh covering the energy demand from 40 households. The estimation of the total cattle available in the village can actually covers up to 62% energy demand. The existing numbers of cows generate 82.8 m3 biogas equivalents to 124,2 kWh. Nevertheless, only 124,2 kWh 14% has been consumed by 40 households. It indicates that the consumption of biogas is not optimal. Therefore, the study purposes to evaluate and to estimate the capability of the village to meet the criteria of ESV. With the assumption that there is population growth 0.01%, the criteria of ESV can be fulfilled in 2014. The energy supply of ESV in 2014 is 62%. It indicates that the Jarak Village can actually meet the criteria of ESV in 2014.
