“…Those who participated in their five-module program increased their well-being, mental health, social connectedness, as well as developed and strengthen their social identification within their chosen groups (Haslam et al 2016). Moreover, Groups 4 Health is a flexible program that can be used for multiple purposes, e.g., water resource management (Ananga et al 2021) or different age groups (Islam 2020), as it is adaptable to unique environmental circumstances that require unique ways of strengthening cohesion and collective resilience.…”

“If worse comes to worst, my neighbors come first”: social identity as a collective resilience factor in areas threatened by sea floods

Research on collective resilience processes still lacks a detailed understanding of psychological mechanisms at work when groups cope with adverse conditions, i.e., long-term processes, and how such mechanisms affect physical and mental well-being. As collective resilience will play a crucial part in facing looming climate change-related events such as floods, it is important to investigate these processes further. To this end, this study takes a novel holistic approach by combining resilience research, social psychology, and an archeological perspective to investigate the role of social identity as a collective resilience factor in the past and present. We hypothesize that social identification buffers against the negative effects of environmental threats in participants, which increases somatic symptoms related to stress, in a North Sea region historically prone to floods. A cross-sectional study (N = 182) was conducted to analyze the moderating effects of social identification on the relations between perceived threat of North Sea floods and both well-being and life satisfaction. The results support our hypothesis that social identification attenuates the relationship between threat perception and well-being, such that the relation is weaker for more strongly identified individuals. Contrary to our expectations, we did not find this buffering effect to be present for life satisfaction. Future resilience studies should further explore social identity as a resilience factor and how it operates in reducing environmental stress put on individuals and groups. Further, to help communities living in flood-prone areas better cope with future environmental stress, we recommend implementing interventions strengthening their social identities and hence collective resilience.

“…The design stage was critical in applied and action research, namely building a model or strategy for the innovation or technology being developed so that the feasibility of the innovation or technology could be achieved (Diaconu 2011;Foray et al 2012;Frow et al 2015). The construction of the joint-business-unitmodel stage was carried out using a participatory method approach and a Focus Group Discussion (FGD) (Schot & Steinmueller 2018), with the participation of farmer groups and stakeholders engaged in fostering farmer institutions, agricultural business actors, and the Department of Agriculture of Pasuruan and Lamongan districts (Ananga et al 2021;Hidayah, Wiyono & Karyanto 2021;Molina et al 2021). The participatory method was carried out in three meetings, resulting in a draft business unit model run by farmer groups.…”

In general, small-scale farmers in rural areas often experience obstacles in implementing technological innovations offered by agricultural extension workers. Obstacles can come from within the individual breeder himself. The theory of small farmers and the theory of collective action is expected to solve the obstacles to implementing these technological innovations. This study aims to analyze and find solutions to the obstacles to implementing technological innovation at the individual level of small farmers in rural areas. Researchers took case study research with a research and development (RD) method approach to find the construction of a joint venture model. Qualitative methods are used in Focus Group Discussion (FGD) activities. At the same time, the quantitative descriptive research method is to evaluate the results of implementing the joint venture model. The population and the evaluation research sample were members of the Ampelsari Makmur Jaya farmer group in Pasuruan Regency and the La Tulip Farmer/Women Group in Lamongan Regency. The number of respondents for the perception evaluation was 68, determined as a total sample. Data was collected through participation techniques, in-depth interviews, FGDs and surveys. The evaluation perception was analyzed using descriptive analysis and Score T. The evaluation of respondents’ perceptions resulted in the farmers accepting the establishment of community-based business units (complete feed and pastured chicken business). The solution is also considered effective in solving the obstacles to applying technological innovation by rural and small-scale farmers in Indonesia.

“…Although the scale and approaches to the transitions needed in the South may vary from country to country, the involvement of numerous sectors including communities is crucial. The success of energy policies is often predicated on its cascading to the community level (Ananga, Naiga, Agong, Njoh & Vickers, 2021;Gebreegziabher, Mekonnen, Gebremedhin & Beyene, 2021). Energisation projects are likely to succeed if the people at the other end of policy continuum, especially those who are marginalised through energy deprivations, are involved early on in the planning and execution of energy projects.…”
