“…On average, 11.62 percent of poor household members in coastal and rural areas do not have health insurance/security. This also confirms the assumption that limited accessibility is the root of the problem of poverty itself, as the theory initiated by Amartya Sen (Basu, 2020b;Rauhut and Hatti, 2021).…”

“…This is in line with Amartya Sen's theory regarding poverty, which states that a person's low accessibility to education and health is the cause of poverty in an area. For this reason, the government needs to create accessibility so that the poverty rate can be reduced (Basu, 2020a;Nevile, 2007;Rauhut and Hatti, 2021;Wietzke, 2020;Yamamori, 2019).…”

The purpose of this study is to identify conditions, characteristics, access, social environment, and opportunities that can be utilized by the poor based on regional typology in Gorontalo Province. From the results of this study, it is hoped that various policies can be formulated to help the poor get out of the poverty trap. Poverty research based on analysis of three regional typologies, namely urban, rural and coastal areas, has never been done before in Gorontalo Province. The method used in this study is descriptive-qualitative method. The types of data used are primary data and secondary data. The study will be carried out in three regional typologies, namely urban, rural and coastal areas, according to the regional characteristics of the Gorontalo Province. The location sampling technique was carried out by taking area samples in stages (multistage area sampling) to determine the research location villages. The population in this study is all poor households living in the six selected sub-districts/villages. Sampling in the six sub-districts/villages surveyed was carried out using a simple random sampling technique. The results of the study show that in general, household vulnerability to poverty seems to be associated with regional aspects, where households living in rural areas have a higher vulnerability than households in urban and coastal areas. From the survey results in three regional typologies (urban, rural, and coastal) in Gorontalo Province, it can be generally concluded that income poverty and non-income poverty are more dominant in poor households in rural areas compared to urban and coastal areas. In other words, those who live in rural areas live in poorer conditions than those who live in urban and coastal areas. From a policy perspective, this means that efforts to reduce poverty in rural areas will be relatively more difficult than the other two regions. The implication of this research is that efforts to reduce poverty in a sustainable manner need to focus more on aspects of improving the quality of human resources for poor households in all regional typologies. The government needs to design various programs that aim to: (i) reduce the number of illiterate poor people and improve their skills; (ii) increasing access of the poor to public services (especially education and health) and economic resources (especially business capital); and (iii) intensifying programs to empower the poor, through the provision of micro credit, assistance with business equipment, work-intensive programs, and others.

“…It is therefore of utmost importance that they are able to manage to maximise the (few) opportunities and freedoms given to them, in order to change their life situation. 'Agency' thus becomes a cornerstone in this process of changing people's life course (Rauhut and Hatti, 2021). 2 In sociology, the intersection between networks and agency in migration has been discussed for a long period.…”

New Methods and Theory on Immigrant Integration

BACKGROUNDIn his book Factfulness (2018), Hans Rosling demonstrates that many people are actually just guessing how things are. People believe the world is poorer, less healthy and more dangerous than it really is, which is attributed not to random chance but rather to misinformation (Hardyment, 2018;Millen, 2018). Rosling (2018, p. 255) considers that, "When we have a fact-based worldview, we can see that the world is not as bad as it seems -and we can see what we have to do to keep making it better." Although Rosling achieved significant attention with his book, he points at a practice that is gaining importance in the social sciences. Evidence-based practice is the process in which decision making is based on the best available evidence derived from research findings (Hall, 2020), and that facts and empirical evidence should matter in decision making (Rubin and Babbie, 2014).The integration of immigrants is an area where people have many opinions. Hence, it is of the utmost importance that the facts and figures relating to it are correct, and that decisions regarding immigrant integration are based on the best possible research findings. Empirical findings are, of course, important in decision making. But it is also important to consider what theories and methodologies are employed in studies, as, inevitably, the findings of studies based on doubtful theories and loose methods will produce an unreliable outcome when turned into policies. However, how much of what we consider 'true and common knowledge' regarding immigrant integration is based on fact and how much (in analogy with Rosling) is nothing but guesswork remains unknown.This edited volume discusses the theoretical and methodological challenges and problems related to the process through which immigrants become part of the local community in peripheral and remote areas.
