Agropolitan area is a concept of functional space based on agricultural production, which requires a specific population density as a capital for the productivity of the rural regions with the support of urban utilities and social infrastructure/social space. Weak social capital makes the agropolitan area grow slowly. This is the impact of unplanned productive social space as a vehicle for social capital’s growth implemented in regional plans. However, social interactions occur if the social infrastructure is well articulated in creating spatial productivity, production, and multiphase inheritance for the sustainability of agribusiness activities. This study aims to identify the importance of social productive space in the form of social infrastructure to increase the social capital in agropolitan area. The method used is a case study to observe social processes that occur from time to time, supported by in-depth interview. The results indicate a typology of social capital that is not formed instantly, but contains a long history over time due to the repetition of interaction between communities in social spaces that are not technically constructed and unplanned in the agropolitan area spatial planning. This productive space is a place to build social closeness through repetition of interaction, sharing, knowledge transfer, equalization of perceptions involving residents, and collaboration between individuals and groups. The productive space in the form of social infrastructure consists of mosques, sports fields, markets, community meeting rooms (bale), business group rooms, and farmer groups. Therefore, the plan document must consider the functioning of social space and adaptive social space based on IT connections (cafes, sports clubs, open spaces, bale, and mosque grounds) into agropolitan spatial planning.

Mitra dalam PKM merupakan dua kelompok usaha mikro pengrajin anyaman lidi di Desa Kawasen Kecamatan Banjarsari Kabupaten Ciamis yaitu Wiradhana Raharja berlokasi di Dusun Panimban dan Batukurung Sejahtera. Masalah yang dihadapi mitra saat ini adalah keberlangsungan pengembangan usaha mikro ini kurangnya pengetahuan manajemen usaha. Desain yang dikuasai oleh mitra masih sedikit hanya empat desain yang dikerjakan sangat rentan terhadap persaingan, disisi lain media pemasaran masih menggunakan komunikasi personal serta kurangnya kerjasama dan dukungan dari lingkungan diluar kelompok anyaman lidi. Solusi yang ditawarkan dalam pengembangan mitra usaha anyaman lidi dalam kegiatan pendampingan adalah; meningkatkan pengetahuan mengenai produksi; meningkatkan pengetahuan dan keterampilan manajemen usaha; dan meningkatkan pengetahuan desain dan teknologi pemasaran online. Berdasarkan hasil pelatihan dan pendampingan telah meningkatkan pengetahuan mitra sehingga dapat mengelola usahanya dengan baik melalui menejemen usaha, mulai dari manajemen produksi, manajemen pembukuan, dan manajemen pemasaran. Melalui pelatihan desain, mitra dapat mengelola website secara bersama menambah dan mengisi konten baru dibawah koordinasi desa sehingga meningkatkan peran desa sebagai regulasi dalam kewirausahaan produk unggulan desa. Kegiatan ini memberikan kotribusi bagi peningkatan pengetahuan mitra, peningkatan koordinasi antar pelaku usaha, peningkatan sociopreneurship dan difusi teknologi.

Kawasan Perkotaan Ciwidey sebagai pusat kegiatan perkotaan tidak terepas dari permasalahan terkait persampahan yaitu peningkatan timbulan sampah setiap harinya tidak diimbangi dengan adanya sarana dan prasarana pengelolaan sampah. selain itu aksesibilitas yang cukup jauh menghambat pendistribusian sampah dari Kawasan Perkotaan Ciwidey ke TPA. Untuk itu penelitian ini bertujuan untuk merumuskan arahan terkait pengelolaan sampah dengan berdasarkan kepada masyarakat (berbasis masyarakat) sebagai sumber penghasil sampah. Dalam perumusan arahan pengelolaan sampah berbasis masyarakat ini metoda analisis yang digunakan adalah kualitatif dan kuantitatif. Kondisi pengelolaan sampah saat ini di perkotaan Ciwidey meliputi 4 aspek persampahan, partisipasi/peran serta masyarakat, dan potensi masalah. Arahan pengelolaan sampah berbasis masyarakat berdasarkan hasil analisis yaitu peningkatan fungsi TPS menjadi TPS 3R, serta tersedianya bank sampah dan unit komposting. Penelitian penunjukan tingkat pelayanan persampahan oleh UPT sebesar 47%, sebagian besar masyarakat sudah melakukan pengurangan dan penanganan sampah, timbulan sampah di Kawasan Perkotaan Ciwidey mencapai 21.192 m3/hari, masih rendahnya tingkat penyadaran partisipasi masyarakat mulai dari pemahaman dan keingian masyarakat untuk mengelola sampah, 52% masyarakat tidak melakukan pembayaran untuk pengelolaan sampah.

The city of Bukittinggi in West Sumatra Province is geographically prone to multi hazard. The located along the active fault line of Sumatra namely Ngarai Sianok that shifted eleven centimeters per year, which is surrounded by two volcanoes, namely Mount Singgalang and Mount Marapi. Looking at the potential of multihazard disasters, this study aims to analyze the multi-disaster that is the input for development policy. The method used to assess factors with Davidson standardization model and superimpose. To obtain the level of importance of disaster risk factors used weighting by using analytical hierarchy process method by expert judgement. The study results show areas at high risk for earthquake, landslide, fire and flood disasters and disaster mitigation measures to reduce risks to hazard, vulnerability and resilience factors. Contribution in this reseach that spatial multi-hazard consideration should be undertaken as a consideration of development policies in order to reduce disaster risk.

This Paper is addressed to developing a knowledge transfer in the local contexed to implementation of continuous improvement (CI) on SMEs. The main problem of the research is how to developing the knowledge transfer model in the implementation of continuous improvement (CI) on SMEs in location at District of Cikoneng, Ciamis Regency. The concept of knowledge management and CI often cannot be rooted in local culture and knowledge, on the other hand it is more valuable to be implemented and evaluated in large companies than SMEs. However local knowledge is very valuable for local residents in increasing knowledge transfer and continuous improvement. Using a case study research approach, we managed to uncover the fact that local knowledge needs to be institutionalized to improve the sustainability of the company. There is a different work orientation and process between male and female employees, where men pay more attention to structured instruction compared to more informal women with different productivity. The CI model implemented must consider the process of their understanding and based on local knowledge, so that changes in mindset occur naturally can be found changes.
