Peaceful and Happy Society

A peaceful and happy society is has a moral economy and where there is
equal economic resources allocation and a peaceful society. People in the community
adhere to religious principles. Society is harmonious, united, and with strong bonds through
social partnership between the state, private organizations, and the people. There will be
decentralization of power to rural areas based on good governance principles. Society will

focus on empowerment, education, and preservation of community culture, watersheds,
and forest conservation, as well as competent management of natural resources. Land use
for agricultural purposes will be balanced to establish sustainable food security. This society

wisdom, providing both inside and outside knowledge in order to create economic growth

both within communities and between networks. It also places greater emphasis on public
