Abstract

82.3% of the population of Sabu Raijua Regency work as farmers with a high level of need for water but the geographical conditions of Sabu Island are not able to support this activity because the majority consists of dry land with a percentage of 97.51% and the number of rainy days is only approximately 100 days per year so that The Sabu Raijua Regency Government has built hundreds of reservoirs to meet agricultural activities, but the weak sustainability of the reservoir construction projects in Sabu Raijua Regency is a problem in itself. The method used in this research is a descriptive method with a qualitative approach with a total number of 76 people who were determined purposively then the primary and secondary data collected were analyzed using data analysis techniques from Creswell (2016). Water governance in the construction of reservoirs for water supply resilience for agriculture in Sabu Raijua Regency, NTT Province uses theory from Van der Kerk, et al (2013: 8) with research results in aspects (1) content layer which is hampered by the uneven flow of information, the absence of training to improve the knowledge and skills of reservoir water users as well as poor strategies/policies, whereas in aspect (2) the institutional layer from the organizational side there was no clear division of roles and responsibilities between institutions, the private sector and the community relating to the use of reservoir water and instruments that were not adequate and in aspect (3) the relational layer on the cooperation side was found not to involve existing policy stakeholders in making decisions about the water management process. The inhibiting factors for water governance in the construction of reservoirs for the resilience of water supply for agriculture in Sabu Raijua Regency, NTT Province consist of a minimal budget, lack of effective institutional governance and climate and geographical conditions.

农业供水安全开发中的水治理分析(以NTT省Sabu Raijua区为例)

萨布赖华县82.3%的人口作为农民工作，对水的需求很高，但萨布岛的地理条件无法支持这一活动，因为大部分由旱地组成，占97.51%，每年下雨的天数只有大约100天，因此萨布赖华县政府建造了数百个水库以满足农业活动。但萨布赖华县水库建设项目的可持续性弱本身就是一个问题。本研究中使用的方法是一种描述性方法，采用定性方法，共有76人，有目的地确定，然后使用来自Creswell(2016)的数据分析技术分析收集的主要和次要数据。NTT省Sabu Raijua Regency农业供水弹性水库建设中的水治理使用了Van der Kerk等人(2013)的理论:8)研究成果主要集中在(1)内容层，受信息流通不均、缺乏提高水库用水者知识和技能的培训以及策略/政策不完善的制约;(2)制度层，从组织层面看，机构间角色和责任划分不明确;私营部门和社区在水库水和工具的使用方面不充分，在(3)方面，合作方面的关系层被发现没有让现有的政策利益相关者参与有关水管理过程的决策。在NTT省Sabu Raijua Regency为农业供水恢复力而建设水库时，制约水治理的因素包括预算不足、缺乏有效的机构治理以及气候和地理条件。

期刊介绍： Welfare states have made well-being one of the main focuses of public policies. Social policies entail, however, complicated, and sometimes almost insurmountable, issues of prioritization, measurement, problem evaluation or strategic and technical decision making concerning aim-setting or finding the most adequate means to ends. Given the pressures to effectiveness it is no wonder that the last several decades have witnessed the imposition of research-based social policies as standard as well as the development of policy-oriented research methodologies. Legitimate social policies are, in this context, more and more dependent on the accurate use of diagnostic methods, of sophisticated program evaluation approaches, of benchmarking and so on. Inspired by this acute interest, our journal aims to host primarily articles based on policy research and methodological approaches of policy topics. Our journal is open to sociologically informed contributions from anthropologists, psychologists, statisticians, economists, historians and political scientists. General theoretical papers are also welcomed if do not deviate from the interests stated above. The editors also welcome reviews of books that are relevant to the topics covered in the journal.
