Engagement culture is very common in our society, especially in the Pandalungan community. Through engagement can trigger early marriage for both brides. For prospective brides, if it is still too early, generally they get married after graduating elementary school, around the age of 12-13 years, then pregnancy occurs, then this can lead to the next problem. Often expectant mothers are pregnant and too young. They will have a high risk of being unable to give birth normally and safely. Many high-risk birth events trigger the death of both the mother and the baby. Through social capital analysis, this research explores the details of the problem of maternal and infant mortality rates, where there are norms, trust and networks formed in the engagement culture of the Pandalungan community in Jember.

This paper discusses the analysis of local government financial capacity for equitable development in its territory. Autonomy requires local governments to improve their abilities in various matters, such as organizational, financial, and political. Financial capacity is the key to achieving local government performance. Limited financial capacity results in an imbalance in the distribution of development. Budget allocations meet complicated conditions to maintain equitable development in all territories. The local government within the Indonesian archipelago faces great challenges to minimize regional disparities. “Success to the successful” (Kim & Anderson, 1998) is an archetype that illustrates this reality. Local government budgets behave in trade-offs, between the mainland and the islands area negating each other in their allocations. Affirmations in one area result in weaker allocations in other areas. The dilemma is that local governments are committed to eliminating regional disparities but are not supported by adequate financial capacity. Low financial capacity causes a monopolistic pattern. If an entity leads, then the entity will be easier to continue to lead and improve its performance, while other entities remain underdeveloped.
