Mothers and children up to two years of age are an important population for developing the national movement. Child rearing refers to the continual interactions that occur throughout childhood, and mothers have a key role in shaping children's behavior and personality. Community support is also important in promoting effective child-rearing practices. This ethnographic study aims to investigate the role of community organizations in supporting child rearing and the influence of community organizations on child-rearing practices. The data were collected from 84 key informants recruited by purposive sampling from pregnant women, social groups, community leaders, health care providers, and officers in local administrative organizations. Multiple data collecting instruments were used, including in-depth interviews, participatory observations, and group discussion. Data were analyzed by content analysis. The findings revealed that there are at least eight community groups related to providing child-rearing support in the community: 1) family, 2) social groups, 3) village health volunteers, 4) family development center, 5) child development center, 6) health service units, 7) local government organization, and 8) community leaders. The findings of this study provide a new body of knowledge on the significance of community empowerment in child rearing. This knowledge is relevant for midwives, community nurses, and those in the maternal and child care system who promote the role of community organizations in strengthening community support of motherhood and early childhood.

This study evaluates the role of stakeholders in the Rural Infrastructure Develop-ment Program (RIDP) and analyzes the intensity of community participation in the program implementation with a willingness to pay. Also, it analyzes the factors that influence community empowerment. This research uses sequential mixed method with descriptive statistics, Context Input-Output and Outcome Process (CIPOO), Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Willingness to Pay (WTP). The results of the analysis show that the main actors in the community empowerment program are the community followed by the local government, academician, and business actors. The community WTP is IDR 5,100, which helps them to maintain sustainability and maintain projects built by the government actively. The empowerment process is the most important factor followed by context and input as the second priority, while output and outcome become the third priority.

This Article addresses a potential tension between two ambitions for the transition to clean energy: reducing regulatory red-tape to quickly build out renewable energy, and leveraging that build-out to empower low-income communities and communities of color. Each ambition carries a different view of communities' role in decarbonization. To those focused on rapid build-out of renewable energy infrastructure, communities are a potential threat who could slow or derail renewable energy projects through opposition during the regulatory process. To those focused on leveraging the transition to clean energy to advance racial and economic justice, communities are necessary partners in the key decisions of the transition—including the development of renewable energy projects. The Biden Administration has committed to both ambitions, but there is a gap regarding what role communities will play in policies designed to implement decarbonization. This Article articulates this "participatory gap" in decarbonization policy and proposes changes to the regulations implementing the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) that start bridging these ambitions. The Article offers proposals that would leverage NEPA's unique structure to empower communities in decarbonization. Specifically, it argues that NEPA's regulations should be reformed to require meaningful community engagement and enforce that commitment through a revitalized executive enforcement structure. Contrary to views that more community engagement will slow decarbonization, this Article argues that these reforms would support the rapid transition to renewable energy while also empowering communities and elevating justice as a central value in environmental policy.

Abstract: Speaking of the northern coastal communities of Java (Pantura), the first thing that comes to mind is the fishing community. The fishing community has always been an interesting object to learn. This is because the condition of the fishing area is different from the natural resources (SDA) of the sea owned by the northern coast of Java. The fishing area is always synonymous with poverty and backwardness in the midst of abundant marine wealth. However, this hypothesis is not entirely true, because not all northern coastal areas of Java are in that condition. This is of course because each region has different policies and concerns from the government of the shelter, but the most important factor is the willingness and determination of the local people in the northern coast to empower themselves.Keywords: Empowerment, Communities, Coastal, Java
