Gintingan in the Sunda Region of West Java: The Role of Traditional Institutions in Sustainable Community Management and Development
Kurniawan Saefullah conducted PhD research from 2015 to 2020 in Indonesia on Gintingan in the Sunda Region of West Java: The Role of Traditional Institutions in Sustainable Community Management and Development in Kabupaten Subang, Indonesia.
The independent and intervening factors, i.e. socio-demographic, psycho-social, as well as government and private promotional factors, are examined in the study, to understand the dynamic influences of how the local people of Subang choose their preferences to utilise the available community institutional systems. The study also seeks to contribute ethnoscientific findings to the development debate about the top-down versus bottom-up approaches in development. In particular, the discourse examines the roles of both approaches in poverty reduction, by using the community institutional systems approach.
