Model Pemberdayaan Berbasis Pemanfaatan Sumberdaya Alam Berkelanjutan: Studi Pada Program Energi Terbarukan Di Kabupaten Jombang

Abstract

The concept of economic development that is based on villages so far still causes debate. Supporting arguments say that village empowerment is the key to the success of inclusive economic development. The aim is to create sustainable economic development based on creating high economic value. Based on this, the main objective of this research is to examine how much impact the new and renewable energy program in Jombang has had on the empowerment of rural communities. Based on the Cluster Analysis method, the new and renewable energy program is proven to have implications for the empowerment of rural communities as indicated through two things, namely: (i) an increase in income especially the poor; and (ii) local communities are able to develop village development planning and implementation. This proves that the new and renewable energy program has been able to realize the independence of the village. Therefore, this program is expected to be a proliferation of empowerment models that are based on sustainable use of natural resources.

Empowering the Community in the Use of Livestock Waste Biogas as a Sustainable Energy Source

“…Awareness efforts provide an understanding of the right to be able and motivating [35]. The new and renewable energy program for rural areas serves as a means to raise awareness of rural communities, particularly in terms of environmental protection and economic development [30]. The evaluation of the implementation stages also assesses the involvement or participation of the community in the manufacture and installation of biogas digesters in power, funding, and provision of infrastructure/equipment.…”

“…According to its potential, the Boyolali Regency, which is also known as the "City of Milk", has a high livestock population, whose dung can be used as a biogas energy source. Renewable energy as an alternative energy source must constantly be developed in line with each region's potential [30]. Various empowerment programs have been implemented, either by the central government, local governments, or other institutions or agencies in the development of biogas, but the results are still not optimal.…”

“…The biogas digester also produces bio-slurry, which can be used as plant fertilizer [38,39]. The activity of rural communities employing new and renewable energy has consequences for two actions that can empower the community, namely improving family income levels, particularly for the poor, and contributing to the drafting of village development plans [30]. Efforts to use innovative and renewable energy have been inextricably linked to the notion of sustainable development and have become a driving force for community independence [40].…”

Community Empowerment Based on Local Potentials Through the Creation of “Cassava Nugget” Products in Dukuh Binangun, Werdi Village, Paninggaran District

“…Empowerment is creating a local community that has the initiative or idea and the ability to carry out the initiative on its own [5].
