Nusa Penida
Nusa Penida is a tourist destination in Klungkung Regency, Bali. This island is rich in traditions and culture which are still practiced by the people today, one of which is weaving and making home-made coconut oil.

Interview with Nusa Penida residents regarding local economic potential.
Potential for Renewable Energy Integration to Support the Local Economy
Apart from tourism, the people of Nusa Penida live from gardening activities. One of the agricultural products that many people develop is coconut cultivation. Some of the coconuts from this garden are sold directly and some are processed into coconut oil. Coconut oil can be used for cooking, for ceremonies, and for sale in shops around where they live.

Nusa Penida residents also make traditional woven cloth. Nusa Penida weaving has two distinctive styles, namely Cepuk and Rang Rang. One of the weaving producing villages in Nusa Penida is Tanglad village. Tanglad woven cloth is still made using non-machine looms (ATBM).

Looms Are Not Machines
The second field study agenda is to disseminate the results of pre-surveys and technical and social institutional data collection. The communities invited to this activity were coconut oil making households in Batukandik village and the weaving community and youth group in Tanglad village.
Engineering Mapping in Tanglad village
Discussion atmosphere with the Tanglad village community group
Explanation of questionnaires for social mapping
Filling out questionnaires for institutional social mapping
Capacity building using solar panels in Batukandik village
Capacity building with agroforestry materials
Discussion regarding institutions for managing renewable energy

Semau
First field study in Semau. Discussions with residents were held to see energy needs and the potential for renewable energy in the field. The villages visited were Batuinan, Uiasa and Onansila villages. These three areas have problems regarding access to clean water, especially in the dry season. The economic potential that can be developed in Semau is agriculture, especially shallots.
The next survey in Semau aims to carry out technical and social mapping.
Discussion on the last survey in Semau with residents to discuss preparations for capacity building activities
Capacity building in Semau was carried out together by inviting representatives of Batuinan, Uiasa and Onansila village residents.
Capacity building regarding productivity was presented in Semau in the form of productivity for agriculture and livestock.
The first capacity building invited residents to actively discuss the problems around them, especially regarding water and energy.
Representatives from each village presented the results of the discussion in front of all participants.
Capacity building regarding solar panels in Semau
Capacity building regarding social institutions invites residents to have active discussions to determine the most appropriate institutional structure for managing renewable energy in their village.

Wakatobi
Pajam Village, Wakatobi has limited access to clean water. The only source of clean water is the Te'euwu well for bathing and washing. Meanwhile, for cooking, residents usually buy water in reservoirs.
Mantigola Village in Wakatobi is a Bajo (Bajau) village. This village does not have land area so it does not have a source of clean water. Clean water is obtained from the Bersama well in Horuo village.
Crossing bridge to Mantigola village
Residents of Mantigola village use canoes to fetch clean water on land. Almost all Mantigola residents are proficient in using canoes
FGD for institutional social mapping in Wakatobi
Capacity building in Wakatobi invites residents of Pajam, Horuo and Mantigola villages. The material provided is the same as other areas, namely technical, social, institutional and productivity material.
During the engineering material, residents also practiced calculating energy consumption and calculating solar panel installation requirements with guidance from the facilitator.
The material for developing productivity in capacity building in Wakatobi covers fisheries and livestock productivity.

UGM Team's journey to Muara Kopi Hamlet.
UGM Team's journey to Tumba Hamlet.
Tumba Hamlet's road infrastructure is inadequate.
Mapping problems & potential in the field
The majority of the livelihoods of Muara Kopi Hamlet are farmers, but there are problems related to providing water for agricultural land.
The abundance of chocolate in Tumba Hamlet is not supported by appropriate technology and a lack of human resource knowledge to process chocolate to make it more valuable.
UGM Team interviews with respondents in the field.
Both residents of Tumba Hamlet and Muara Kopi Hamlet generally still use stoves for cooking. Mothers spend quite a lot of time looking for wood, twigs, dry leaves, etc. for cooking needs.
Abundant water potential in Tumba Hamlet.
Measurement of water discharge in Tumba Hamlet.
The people of Tumba Hamlet took the initiative to utilize the potential of existing water to illuminate the mosque through picohydro technology which also functions as a center for community activities. Efforts to use water as an energy source also aim to make people wiser in using water and preserving the environment, especially around SM.
Tumba Hamlet
The survey findings, both potential and existing problems, were conveyed to the hamlet residents through focus group discussions. Apart from that, the UGM Team listened to the aspirations of the community regarding the problems they faced, especially regarding energy and environmental issues.
Muara Kopi Hamlet
Capacity building related to local agricultural potential. The people of Muara Kopi Hamlet agreed to choose solar water pumping system technology for agriculture. So far, farmers have used diesel fuel, which is expensive and not environmentally friendly, to meet agricultural water needs.
Capacity building for local potential in Tumba Hamlet and an integrated low emission system management model. The community agreed to use the picohydro organizational structure that had been formed previously. The organization is led by the head of Tumba Hamlet.
Technical capacity building in Tumba Hamlet. The public is educated on how to calculate energy needs, use a solar home system, and how to maintain this technology.
Technical capacity building in Muara Kopi Hamlet educates the community about the operation and maintenance of SWPS technology.
The institutional structure in Muara Kopi Hamlet was formed after implementing social and institutional capacity building.
