Significantly, examining the learners’ situations can contribute in obtaining evidence-based knowledge useful in enhancing academic policies and practices. Hence, this study investigated on the personal, institutional, learning environment, and technological challenges of social work students when flexible learning was implemented. It sought to discuss policy implications for social work education. The study captured 296 respondents in one university in the Bicol Region, Philippines. The researcher-made survey questionnaire used in the study obtained a coefficient of a=0.92, which means that the whole scale's reliability estimate was highly acceptable. The instrument was in Google Forms and distributed to the respondents online. The collected data were subjected to descriptive statistics for interpretation and analysis. The results revealed that the frequently encountered challenges were: having to fulfill home and school responsibilities simultaneously, overlapping activities/tasks from two or more subjects, power interruptions, and having an unstable mobile data connection. Therefore, the academic community, including the administrators, student organizations, faculty members, and all equally essential stakeholders can address the identified challenges through policy enhancement and partnership building with organizations and companies offering technology-related services.","PeriodicalId":273657,"journal":{"name":"Asean Social Work Journal","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128971155","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Realizing Gender Equality in Coastal Areas: Conservation of Critical Land and Empowerment of Women","authors":"K. Simarmata, Miftah Faridl Widhagdha, Ganuardi Pradipta, Rahadiyand Aditya, Saipullah","doi":"10.58671/aswj.v11i1.40","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.58671/aswj.v11i1.40","url":null,"abstract":"The conversion of mangroves into shrimp ponds occurred in the coastal area of Kampung Beting, Pantai Bahagia Village, Bekasi Regency, West Java Province, Indonesia, in the period 1990–2010. High income from shrimp ponds makes people ignore the ecological functions of mangrove forests, one of which is to prevent abrasion. However, since 2010, the destruction of hundreds of hectares of mangrove forests, worsened by climate change that hits almost the whole world, especially island countries like Indonesia, has submerged the shrimp ponds in Pantai Bahagia Village with sea water. Now, not only the shrimp ponds as their major income have disappeared, but also their living space is also threatened by severe abrasion. Gender inequality and the marginalized role of coastal women also make the socio-economic conditions of the community become worse. This study observes the role of women in Pantai Bahagia Village in responding to environmental and socio-economic problems in their area. This study uses a phenomenological approach, data is collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The results of the study show that women's empowerment plays a role in conserving critical land. Women's responses to environmental problems in their area include: 1) creating changes in women's awareness and behavior as an effort to repair and restore damaged mangrove land, and 2) carrying out activities to protect mangrove plants. Women's responses to socio-economic problems include 1) women's active involvement in productive economic activities 2) Utilization of non-timber mangrove products in processed food and crafts. Finally, this study recommends a concept to address critical coastal land issues, namely by involving women in various activities, both nature conservation and empowerment activities.","PeriodicalId":273657,"journal":{"name":"Asean Social Work Journal","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133257653","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study’s design was descriptive- qualitative particularly phenomenological research. Using purposive sampling the team interviewed eleven female adolescents, three barangay officials for key informant interviews, and conducted a focus group discussion among the identified agencies with direct services for OSAEC. The study describes poverty as the major driving factor that leads female adolescents in Davao City to engage in OSAEC. This situation was further exacerbated when the COVID lockdown happened to result in the loss of jobs, limited mobility, and uncertainty. Consequently, the respondent's family had difficulty sustaining their daily needs, pushing victim-survivors to engage in OSAEC. Limited mobility, caused many respondents to shift to online platforms as substitutes for physical communication, further raising their vulnerability to online sex predators. Respondents were introduced to OSAEC through seemingly harmless online chat groups which eventually led to pimping and matching with potential perpetrators. The chat groups paved the way for new acquaintances with experience in online sexual transactions and pushed victim-survivors to the trade in hopes of gaining financial rewards. Sexual behavior online eventually leads to physical interaction with local perpetrators. The study further revealed that barangay officials have little knowledge and capability in handling OSAEC cases. OSAEC in its many forms continues to victimize children, more so when several factors create vulnerability in them such as naivety, peer pressure, distorted perspectives on filial obligations, minimal awareness, and proactive action from duty-bearers. As we strive to protect the youth from all forms of sexual abuse, there is a greater challenge in providing holistic, multi-disciplinary, and multi sectoral action among duty bearers to stop OSAEC further.\u0000 ","PeriodicalId":273657,"journal":{"name":"Asean Social Work Journal","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134397797","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The programs have been used as a means to address the social implications of locking down policy due to the COVID-19 pandemic.This paper aims to describe how Indonesia is reforming its social protection agenda.This article used a literature review for data gathering in describing the overall social protection reform agenda. It also used surveys in 198 pilot villages to try out three social protection policy instruments: a socio-economic registry, a digitalized village monograph, and an integrated approach to zero extreme poverty intervention.To deal with the social implications of locking down policy, Indonesia made use of the existing and ongoing programs, and also adding some new ones, even though the modality is no different: cash transfer. Various operational problems emerged during the implementation. The data accuracy of the existing beneficiary rosters is getting worse and unreliable. Different rosters produced by different ministries only create confusion in program implementation. A socio-economic registry is a potential solution for integrating beneficiary rosters produced individually by different ministries. Additionally, a lack of coordination among key ministries in social protection programs tends to provide one policy fit for all; leaving behind the role of local governments and different local needs. Having understood the situation, President Jokowi is determined to achieve the zero extreme poverty target by 2024 by reforming the country’s social protection policy.","PeriodicalId":273657,"journal":{"name":"Asean Social Work Journal","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132980101","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In Indonesia, the government pursues community engagement to reduce GHG emissions through the Program Kampung Iklim (ProKlim). We collected data from 2015-2018, then measured emission reductions (ER) in the waste, livestock, agriculture, energy, and forestry sectors by subtracting baseline and mitigation emissions. The analysis compares the emission reductions achieved through Community-based Action (CBA) to the national emission reduction achievement. The results show that the sector with the most participation rates and the most significant contributor to emission reductions in ProKlim is the energy and waste sector. On the other hand, the sectors that attract the least public attention and emission reduction are the livestock and agriculture sectors. Through 61 community groups and 138 actions, from 2015 to 2018, CBA contributed 133,312.38 tons of CO2e emission reductions, 0.012% to national emission reductions, with the participation value equivalent to USD$266.080. Based on this number, CBA can be the answer to Indonesia's low position in international carbon trading. A strategy that focuses on increasing community participation is needed to optimize the contribution of the CBA to large-scale national emission reductions.","PeriodicalId":273657,"journal":{"name":"Asean Social Work Journal","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129358561","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The sembako program is also expected to increase financial inclusion by using the prosperous family card as an electronic money and savings feature. This study uses a proper governance perspective with the research location in Banyumas Regency, Central Java Province, Indonesia. The results showed that the implementation of the Sembako program went well. However, the recipients complain that  the types, quantities, and goods received are different from the instructed provisions, so they are not in accordance with the principles of proper governance. The sembako program contributes little to increasing financial inclusion because the KKS Card can only be used to take assistance from the sembako program and cannot access other banking services. It was found that the KKS Card was not held by the recipient of the basic food program, and the recipient did not memorize the KKS Card Pin. This study recommends that all shops and stalls carry out the distribution of the sembako program without being limited to certain stalls. The sembako program is not packaged so that beneficiaries are free to take basic food assistance according to the needs of their families.","PeriodicalId":273657,"journal":{"name":"Asean Social Work Journal","volume":"166 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115264473","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
