Integration of Circular Economy Approaches and Community Participation in Waste Management Based on Campus-Village Partnerships
Urbanization and rapid population growth in Yogyakarta have significantly increased waste production, ultimately exacerbating the environmental crisis due to the failure of conventional disposal-based management systems. This study explores a circular economy approach in waste management based on a campus-village partnership by highlighting the collaboration between Gadjah Mada University and Sinduadi Village. Using a qualitative approach, this research analyzes the dynamics of waste management, the challenges of policy implementation, and the role of the community in realizing a more sustainable system. The research findings indicate that the implementation of a circular economy in waste management faces challenges such as limited infrastructure, minimal community participation, and lack of coordination among stakeholders. However, with the integration of the ReSOLVE concept and the Quadruple Helix approach, collaboration between academics, government, industry, and society can drive innovation in waste management, resource optimization, and environmental awareness. Campus-village partnerships play a strategic role in building circular-based business models that not only address waste issues but also create local economic opportunities. This research emphasizes the importance of synergy between regulatory policies, monetary incentives, and technological innovations in strengthening the circular economy ecosystem. The implications of this study highlight that the success of transforming the waste management system depends on the sustainability of cross-sector collaboration and active community participation in holistically applying circular economy principles. Keywords. Circular Economy, Waste Management, Campus-Village Partnership, Environmental Governance, Community Participation

Empowerment from Within: A Grounded Theory of the Minangkabau Community-Based Empowerment Model Through the Kaum System
This study examines the Kaum system as an indigenous model of community empowerment within Minangkabau society, focusing on Nagari Tabek Patah, West Sumatra. Addressing the limitations of dominant Western-centric empowerment frameworks, this research employs a grounded theory approach to explore how locally rooted social structures and cultural values foster sustainable empowerment mechanisms. Data were collected through participant observation, in-depth interviews with key customary leaders (Ninik Mamak), and document analysis. The findings reveal a cyclical four-stage empowerment model embedded within Minangkabau local wisdom: tahu di nan ampek (awareness), sauak aie mandikan diri (internalization), karajo ba pokok (actualization), and ingek jo jago (social control). These stages demonstrate how empowerment organically emerges through the integration of reason, religion, nature, and custom; is internalized within communal social spaces; is actualized through participatory practices such as deliberation and mutual cooperation; and is sustained by community-based social control mechanisms grounded in customary law. The study demonstrates that empowerment within the Kaum system is not merely economic or externally driven but is deeply rooted in cultural identity, social capital, and collective agency. By situating local Minangkabau perspectives in dialogue with global theories such as Freire’s critical consciousness, Bourdieu’s habitus, and Sen’s capability approach, this research contributes to the broader discourse on community empowerment. It underscores the importance of culturally grounded, participatory, and sustainable development models, offering an alternative framework for understanding empowerment in non-Western and indigenous contexts.
Empowering Persons with Disabilities through Inclusive Productive Zakat Models: Insights from Indonesian Local Cases
The process of empowerment through the collection of charitable resources for individuals with disabilities is predominantly associated with economic factors. Nonetheless, the distribution of zakat plays a pivotal role for beneficiaries (mustaḥiqq), emphasizing inclusive models rather than productive approaches. To explore these dynamics, the researchers conducted fieldwork in Rowosari Village, Semarang City, Indonesia. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with representatives from relevant institutions and disability advocacy groups, employing a phenomenological analytical framework. The findings reveal that zakat institutions, such as Darut Tahuhid Peduli, have implemented the Indonesia Peduli Difabel initiative, which focuses on sustainable economic empowerment, entrepreneurial training, and community integration. These programs have demonstrated success in planning, assessment, distribution, assistance, and evaluation. Consequently, a bottom-up model for empowering individuals with disabilities has emerged, facilitating the development of pertinent business models, such as catfish farming, through the verification of beneficiaries’ eligibility and the execution of feasibility studies. The initiatives are effectively utilizing allocated zakat funds in aquaculture and financial management. Continuous support is provided to assist individuals with disabilities in both economic and personal development. This research not only addresses material considerations but also incorporates social and spiritual dimensions as mechanisms for empowerment that positively influence personal well-being. Thus, this article contributes to the advancement of knowledge regarding welfare provision discourses, aligning with additional elements that enhance empowerment studies.
Social Capital as a Catalyst for Community Empowerment: Evidence from KWT Srikandi Mrican, Indonesia
This research seeks to investigate the role of social capital in the empowerment of urban agriculture within the Srikandi Women’s Farmers Group (KWT). Employing a qualitative research methodology, the study is conducted at KWT Srikandi located in Mrican, Sleman. The findings reveal that the effective utilization of social capital significantly contributes to the success of the empowerment initiatives within KWT Srikandi. Key values that underpin this process include mutual cooperation, discipline, and responsibility, all of which are reinforced by the awareness and commitment of individual members. Trust is evidenced by the successful delegation of tasks, transparency in program execution, and the solidarity fostered within the group. Social networks are robustly established both internally, among KWT Mrican members, and externally, through collaborations with various partners, including academic institutions, government entities, and the private sector. The advantages of leveraging social capital include the promotion of harmony, enhancement of capacity, and facilitation of successful empowerment outcomes. However, challenges persist, such as limited expansion of partnership outreach and the necessity for improvements in facilities and infrastructure.

Community Asset Mapping in Indonesian Local Micro Enterprise Empowerment: Insights from Sukamantri Village
This study aims to assess community resources for development and to pinpoint the challenges faced by palm sugar micro-businesses. A qualitative approach was used, involving ten participants. Data was gathered through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The results reveal a strong sense of community and a significant entrepreneurial drive among residents. However, there is untapped potential in environmental resources for land development that could support the cultivation of sugar palm trees, which are currently endangered. On the other hand, economic resources, such as the palm sugar marketing network, production enhancement, and sourcing of raw materials, are underdeveloped due to community isolation, reliance on traditional markets, and a lack of knowledge about digital marketing. The lack of management institutions, capacity-building programs, social network support, and government assistance greatly hinders the growth of these resources and the micro-businesses. To improve the capabilities of palm sugar micro-entrepreneurs in Sukamantri Village, it is crucial to tackle several key issues, including poor business management practices, weaknesses in local institutions, limited networking opportunities, and challenges related to funding and support. The researchers suggest that local government and the private sector should focus on support programs, enhancing the management and production processes of palm sugar micro-enterprises.

Digital Divide and Classifying Social Class in Rural Development: Voices from the Secondary Data of Field
This paper aims to investigate the digital divide and to classify social class as a significant indicator in the context of rural development. The study employed secondary data analysis derived from the Data Desa Presisi (DDP). The researcher meticulously analyzed and reinterpreted statistical data to identify new potential avenues for development planning, with a particular focus on Neglasari Village. The findings indicate that the predominant social class in the research area consists largely of lower-class individuals or casual laborers, who are categorized as impoverished in terms of rural development. This categorization aligns with the conclusion that poverty, as revealed through social class mapping, contributes to the digital divide, which is predominantly influenced by the upper social class. Consequently, this dynamic tends to create a segmentation of development information at the initial level. Conversely, it is noteworthy that the lower class exhibits the highest purchasing power for communication expenses, raising questions about the effectiveness and utility of network access and communication costs. This study serves as a valuable resource for village development planners, emphasizing the importance of considering the dynamics of social class, the implications of the digital divide, and the necessity for evaluative and accountable development monitoring models in the distribution of targeted programs.

Jogja Darurat Sampah: Examining the Effectiveness of Zero Inorganic Waste Policy in Various Perspective to Solve Waste Problem in Yogyakarta
Jogja Darurat Sampah represents the urgency of the waste problem due to obstacles in the waste downstream cycle to TPST Piyungan. Waste management policies are identified as ineffective with a reduction in waste transport below 8% until 2022. On 1 January 2023, the Yogyakarta City Government issued the Zero Inorganic Waste Policy as a strategic vision to reduce 15% of downstream waste by 2023. The research aims to evaluate the Zero Inorganic Waste Policy in reconstructing the waste management paradigm of Yogyakarta City. This research applies a case study method by adopting Formative Policy Evaluation. Before the Zero Inorganic Waste policy was issued, the community had a tendency of 'collect-transport-dispose' waste management behaviour. In the context of Evidence-Based Policy Making, this policy was formulated based on evidence of the escalation of waste problems in Yogyakarta City. In the dynamics of policy implementation, there has been a change in 'sort-reduce-reuse-recycle' behaviour in waste management. However, the challenges of misperceptions and community adaptation to the new policy simultaneously emerged. In the formative evaluation framework, the Zero Inorganic Waste policy was evaluated as effective. There was an average decrease in waste haulage of 24% or 56.42 tonnes/day in the first semester of 2023.

Mitigating Environmental Threats: An Intervention Study on Household Waste Management in Pasirkaliki Village
The lack of awareness regarding the management of household waste, particularly hazardous and toxic waste, poses a significant threat to environmental pollution. This lack of awareness is exacerbated by the accumulation and mixing of such waste with other categories of household waste. This study aims to mitigate the impact of household waste through an assistance mechanism designed to alter waste management behavior. Employing a quasi-experimental method, the research was conducted within the community of Pasirkaliki Village, North Cimahi. The study revealed significant changes in both the knowledge and behavior of the community towards waste management. Post-intervention, there was a notable increase of 16.6% in the community's knowledge compared to pre-intervention measurements. Furthermore, individuals who initially exhibited poor knowledge of waste types showed a remarkable 55.6% increase in understanding. The enhanced knowledge positively correlated with changes in behavior, evidenced by the increased community agreement on sorting waste based on its categories. This behavioral change was attributed to the intervention, supported by a p-value of 0.002. The results underscore the effectiveness of the assistance provided, which involved identifying community tendencies and employing direct involvement to enable individuals to experience the benefits firsthand through education.

Seizing the Opportunity: Dynamics of the Salafi-Wahabi Movement in Turkey
Being a secular state after centuries under the Islamic sultanate of the Ottoman Empire, Turkey has been challenged by various internal political turmoil and controversies over religion and its relation to the state. As such, fierce debate has become unavoidable for Islamist and revivalist groups that feel discriminated against for practicing Islam in public spaces. This article discusses Salafism and Wahabism in contemporary Turkey, starting from its inception to its da'wah and development strategies in society. The article used a qualitative approach with a literature review. The data was collected from secondary sources, including research results by scholars and various pieces of information in the mass media that emerged during the era of Recep Tayyip Erdogan until 2022. This article scrutinizes (1) the history of the resurgence of Salafism and Wahabism in Turkey due to the influence of the social and political situation; (2) pro-Islamic political policies in the government providing an opportunity for Salafi and Wahabi to develop in Turkey; and (3) the form and strategy of a pro-active and non-confrontational Salafi group in Turkey. This third part is very urgent for this article because it relates to secular Turkey's social, political, and cultural contexts.

Sasak Boda Observed: The Preservation of Tebango Buddhists’ Cultural Heritage on Lombok Island, Indonesia
Although the government issued an accommodative policy protecting and supporting minority communities, statistics has shown a decline in the number of Buddhism followers in modern-day Lombok, Indonesia. This ethnographic study aims to reconsider the existence of a cultural heritage that provides sustainable values to community development. This study seeks to understand how the vernacular Buddhism of Sasak Boda in Tebango manages to strive as the minority and live their belief amid the dominating Sasak Muslim community. Data was collected through literature review, interviews, and observation. Findings indicate that the decline of Boda devotees in Dusun Tebango of Lombok in number has been affected by the public perception of the vernacular Buddhism movement. Despite such a reality becoming an anomaly in the discourses related to cultural heritage preservation, the Tebango Buddhists are capable of maintaining the tradition through customs that are tangible and intangible. This case signifies a premise that quantitative measurement alone is insufficient to study the sustainability of a local belief system such as the Sasak Boda. Consequently, this study argues that the state of maintainability and materiality of any culture act as determinant factors in the empowerment of locality-based communities.

Community-based Empowerment: Unveiling patron-client Patterns in Voluntary Trader Partnerships for Enhanced Production in Desa Kolot, Cikalong Tasikmalaya
Enhancing production activities in Desa Kolot, Cikalong Tasikmalaya is achieved through mutually beneficial partnerships among traders, exemplifying a community-driven empowerment model. This approach is introduced as a response to counter the negative perceptions associated with interventionist empowerment strategies implemented by head of village. The objective of this research is to uncover the interconnected pattern involving traders with ample capital collaborating with those lacking financial resources. Employing a qualitative methodology with a phenomenological approach, the data analysis utilizes the patron-client theory. The study identifies the effectiveness of an empowerment model that optimizes the local potential of traditional snack production, deeply rooted in the community’s traditions. The empowerment mechanism is executed through voluntary connections established between major traders providing capital and smaller traders contributing culinary products. Small traders, as beneficiaries, get provision of materials, production tools, and skill enhancements offered by larger traders. Similarly, major traders benefit by gaining access to a market for the product of culinary, thereby expanding their customer base. These personal, voluntary, and tradition-bound relationships reflect dyadic connections characterized by an imbalance, potentially leading to domination and exploitation.

This study aims to analyze the parties involved in innovation program and their interests, identifies the parties who benefit and lose, and determine the sustainability of the development of Mina Wisata Technopark Sleman. This research used qualitative methods with Foucaultian’s framework of the genealogy of power or knowledge. The construction of the dynamics of relations and power relations can be seen from the discourse on the power of the actors involved in the management, such as the central and local governments as planners at the executive and driving levels; the company as the main key in the tourism industry; local communities in the development area as program objects; as well as the Lurah and the Village Apparatus as implementation and supervisors of development. The dynamics of developing a mina wisata technopark resulted in the construction that the existence of a management agency was the result of communicative action through a long dialogue process. So, that power or authority can side with the weakest parties to build productive spaces and their networks in order to improve their welfare. Mina wisata technopark must be developed through the active role of the community in making development decisions in an open, democratic, and responsible manner (bottom up planning), trought synergy with all stakeholders.
