“…It was reported in 2008 that there were 638,000 children, diagnosed with autism, in Indonesian special schools (Riany et al, 2016). However, there is a lack of more recent data on this issue (Bella, 2018) and so the current number of children with autism in regular, special and inclusive school settings remains unclear. This lack of clarity is exacerbated by a national situation in which there are low rates of birth registration, especially in rural areas.…”

There is a large number of children with autism who need to be taught within the Indonesian education system. A significant influence on how their needs are perceived are the epistemological and cultural beliefs of teachers. This research is the first to examine these issues in the context of the Indonesian government's intention to develop an inclusive education system. An analysis of 136 questionnaire responses from teachers and educational therapists indicated that although only a minority was aware of, or had been trained in, established autism interventions, children with autism are being taught within Indonesian schools. This included being taught within regular schools. The data suggest that having access to information about autism in the Bahasa Indonesia language plays a role in educators' beliefs about the stigmatization of teachers and parents of autistic children. Teachers' epistemological beliefs were found to be linked to their beliefs in inclusive education. This research suggests that is essential for educational research to acknowledge the influence of the cultural milieu within which inclusive education is being developed. The implications of this research for how the development of inclusive education can be supported within Indonesia are discussed.

“…In the Indonesian context, problems often faced by persons with disabilities in Indonesia include lack of access to information on the importance of rehabilitation (Bella & Dartanto, 2018), lack of public facilities that make it easier for persons with disabilities to carry out their daily activities (Nurhayati, 2020), and lack of access to jobs for persons with disabilities (Hikmawati & Rusmiyati, 2011). In Indonesia alone, the number of persons with disabilities who can access education and work is still below 30%.…”

All local governments have the same responsibility and obligation in positioning themselves as institution that are friendly to persons with disabilities, including Central Lampung Regency in Lampung Province. There are two important questions from the research which is the basis of this study; (1). What are the efforts made by the Central Lampung Regency government towards groups with disabilities? (2). What are the problems that occur in the management of disability groups in Central Lampung Regency?. The type of this research is descriptive with a qualitative approach. The data used by researchers in this study are sourced from primary and secondary data. In this study, primary data obtained through interview techniques was carried out by giving several questions related to the problem issues in research to the informants who had been determined. Informants in this study was collected with a purposive sampling technique. The key informants in this study were 9 heads of local government organizations, 10 representatives of community organizations, and 5 members of the regional parliament. All of them play a role in data collection activities which include focus group discussions, in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation. Meanwhile, data analysis was carried out using interactive data analysis techniques. In the last three years, the number of people with disabilities in Central Lampung has increased. However, the increase in the number of people with disabilities in Central Lampung is due to the expansion of the meaning and scope of disabilities in Indonesia regulation. It is known that several actions at the level of local government organizations in facilitating groups with disabilities can be designed in a more focused manner in the design of programs and policies covering the government, population and civil registration, social, health, education, employment, and transportation, and public infrastructure sectors.

“…This shows that the Indonesian government still applies the same treatment to overcome the problem of poverty with disabilities. Meanwhile, Persons with Disabilities (PWD) has several weaknesses that are not experienced by people who do not have physical disability (Bella & Dartanto, 2018). Rustiadi and Nasution (2017) examined poverty related to access to social capital and other factors that determine the welfare of rural households.…”

“…Therefore, poverty reduction in Sri Lanka, especially poverty alleviation among disabled households needs to be improved in terms of health, education and living standards. Bella and Dartanto (2018) stated that the heads of disabled households in Indonesia tend to be poorer with a poverty gap index rate of 2.6 percent. Blind heads of households are less likely to be poor compared with other people with disabilities.…”

This study aims to investigate the influence of green supply chain management practices on community empowerment and poverty reduction in the region of Indonesia. Primary data collection technique like questionnaire was adopted and a sample of 305 respondents was finally collected. For the better understanding, a structural model was developed for the green supply chain factors and community empowerment. For analyzing the data, descriptive findings, confirmatory factor analysis, structural equation modelling and finally regression analysis were applied. Through structural equation modelling, it is found that all three factors of green supply chain (eco design, environment friendly approaches, and green manufacturing and distribution) had positive and significant influence on community empowerment in Indonesia. In addition, findings under regression analysis show that for the poverty reduction factors green supply chain can also play significantly when integrated through all three factors. As per the implication, this research is a meaningful contribution in the field of green supply chain management practices, community development and poverty reduction. .
