“…FGD is a method for obtaining data and information through group or individual meetings to explore issues or problems that are being studied or investigated. FGD is the social interaction of a group of individuals who can influence each other and produce data and information (Hollander, 2004). Hence, the using of two methods: observation method and the FGD method in the study of Citarum Harum are two mutually reinforcing methodologies for deepening and finding solutions to the problem being examined.…”

The problem of waste and sewage and the existence of the strategic Citarum River by splitting West Java Province are very supportive of economic growth, especially labor-intensive industries. Citarum, which is known as one of the dirtiest rivers in the world, urges the government to immediately issue regulations to start the restoration of the Citarum River Basin (DAS Citarum), that is Presidential Regulation No. 15 of 2018 concerning Acceleration of Pollution and Damage Control in the Citarum River Basin. Various steps and methods were taken to restore the Citarum watershed, as well as communication and coordination of the central government with various related parties such as the Environmental Service Office (DLH) of the West Java Provincial Government and Kodam III Siliwangi to be enhanced to immediately realize Harum Citarum program.

“…In summary, the instruments used for data collection included observations, individual interviews, key informants, and photographs. It's essential to identify and define the specific field for compliance when the observer is looking at the events or place of data collection [20]. Secondary data on drinking water treatment and other relevant information gathered from the state, non-governmental organization studies, and several scientific…”

The supply of clean drinking water is one of the most critical facets of primary health care, the main challenges of sustainable development in rural regions. However, Rajaf Payam experiences significant challenges in accessing clean and safe water. The study is designed to explore drinking water treatment methods in Rajaf Payam. Questionnaire was designed to conduct survey on sources of drinking water and drinking water treatment methods in the area, published articles included reports from the national government and some NGOs working in the rural drinking water sector were collected. So far 200 people participated in this study, from whom 60% were male, 40% female. However, 50 critical informant interviews and surveys were conducted, with 150 participants filling out questionnaires. The results show that 66% of the community use chlorine for drinking water treatment. Nonetheless, 19% are using boiling method, 10% using normal filtration (Water settling). At the same time, 5% know nothing about drinking water treatment. Therefore, this study recommending the Point-of-use (POU) of drinking water treatment technologies such as boiling, slow sand filtration, chemical disinfection, flocculation and coagulation, UV-C disinfection, and solar disinfection to the community of Raja Payam to enable them to access high quality drinking water and to avoid chronic drinking water related disease.

“…Observation is a method used in qualitative research to view events and actions as they occur and within social context, and to learn what people do, not just what they say they do (Neuman, 2009). In this project, nonparticipant observation was carried out as unobtrusively as possible (Ciesielska et al, 2018). Six meetings took place in person and one by videoconference.…”

“…Six meetings took place in person and one by videoconference. At the six in-person meetings, we evaluators were set up at the furthest point possible behind steering committee members who were positioned in a square, with the intent that members would not be reminded that they were being observed and would be at ease to act naturally (Ciesielska et al, 2018). Feminist community partners on the steering committee initially expressed discomfort with this positioning, having been accustomed to seeing all research team members around the table, in an open and transparent conversation.…”

Feminist research and participatory action research (PAR) share the belief that research should directly serve social justice aims and work to alleviate suffering of marginalized and oppressed people. This article presents the results of a unique feminist PAR (FPAR) approach to designing and implementing an evaluation of an intervention with women who have used violence. The site of our analysis is the steering committee that oversaw this work and the extent to which members adhered to FPAR principles. Over the two decades since feminist critiques of PAR began to emerge, new discourses of collaboration have appeared. As researchers, we must be alert to FPAR discourses that mask ongoing hierarchies. Our findings suggest that, while reflexivity and genuine commitment to collaboration are fundamental to enacting FPAR principles, social workers nevertheless face real challenges confronting structural barriers that impede anti-oppression goals. This study highlights the challenges of adhering faithfully to feminist participatory principles in real-life settings and the need for future research to examine the effectiveness of FPAR processes in achieving authentic collaboration among committee members who are chosen to represent disparate perspectives and are backed by vastly different levels of social and institutional power.
