Abstract

This study reviews the relevance and effectiveness of community-based economic models in addressing environmental problems in developing countries. Using a mixed methods approach—qualitative interviews and focus group discussions with 15 local stakeholders in West Sumatra, and a quantitative survey of 180 respondents—the research analyzes both socio-economic and environmental impacts of community initiatives. The findings show that community-based economic models enhance collective environmental awareness, reduce harmful practices, and create sustainable income sources, although their success depends on leadership quality, institutional support, and resource access. The study concludes that integrating traditional community values with adaptive strategies can strengthen economic and ecological resilience. The results contribute to sustainable economic governance theory and offer a practical framework for policymakers to design inclusive and environmentally responsible economic interventions.
