Pekalongan, Jawa Tengah, Indonesia

Worked as a research lead on a project aimed exploring poverty and inequality in urban communities from the perspective of the communities themselves, contributing to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030. The research was conducted across four different locations within the same city, where I oversaw the preparation and coordination of findings to ensure a comprehensive analysis. The study revealed distinct profiles of poverty and inequality in each location, providing actionable recommendations for the government to reduce poverty and foster community development.

Semarang, Jawa Tengah, Indonesia

Worked as a researcher focusing on intangible cultural heritage (ICH), which encompasses elements such as oral traditions, performing arts, customs, traditional knowledge, and craft skills essential to societal identity. This research aimed to inventory ICH through field identification, capturing its description, existence, condition, and protection measures. Together with the team, I conducted regional mapping, domain classification of cultural works, and vulnerability analysis to ensure that ICH documentation serves not only as a historical record but also as a foundation for policy-making.
