The occurrence of accidents, chemical fuels and cargo carried by ships, garbage, and oil spills from ships because of marine transportation activities causes environmental problems whose impact can threaten environmental sustainability. Studies have shown that the role of the human factor is 70-80% in the occurrence of environmental sustainability threats. Some literature on green human resource management has examined that the role of green competencies is the main requirement in improving one's performance in the environmental field. In order to support sustainable shipping management, there needs to be a study on green competencies. However, studies on construct development and validation of green competencies measurements in the shipping industry have not been widely conducted. This study aims to develop a scale of green competencies measuring instruments referring to the view of maintaining the marine environment in the shipping industry. Empirical studies have been conducted based on a quantitative approach, with survey methods conducted on 333 crew (seafarers) who have been employees in the shipping industry. The analysis of green competency measuring instrument development model has been done by using Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) by SEM PLS 4.0 software. The findings of this study show that green competencies is a multidimensional reflective scale consisting of dimensions of green knowledge, green skills, green attitude, green awareness and green ability that have been tested for validity and reliability. The implication of these findings is to contribute to a literature review on green competencies, especially in the shipping industry. In addition, the results of the analysis on the green competencies construct model can be used as the basis for the preparation of a green competencies model for the benefit of green human resource management in the shipping industry.

The implementation of asymmetric decentralization in Indonesia since the new order era until after reform era brings an impact on how the quality of local governance may affect the result. While research on asymmetric decentralization has developed very significantly, only limited attention has been paid to the determinants of success, especially the role governance plays.

This paper explores intangible cultural product transformation in the context of Balinese Dance, under the influence of tourism growth as a case study. Tourism has transformed part of Balinese culture's orientation from religion to economy. This trend is mostly prominent in Balinese cultural product, particularly Balinese arts. Whereas in the days before tourism came to the island arts develop following religious demand, current development takes place in the garb of tourism and evolves in a more complex and secular setting. The current study investigates the development process in the Balinese dance within the framework of Special Interest Tourism (SIT). In particular, it looks closer at the orientation of Balinese dance innovation in Ubud, a Bali's tourist spot that is praised as the Bali's art center. The recent study employed a qualitative approach, which included observations, documentation and interviews. The data were collected during fieldwork conducted in 2010 and 2018. Results of the study show that Balinese dances are growing as a mean to promote tourism industry in the island, maximizing tourist experience, as well as showing the Balinese identity as a "cultured society." This implies that Balinese is still evolving "traditional arts" innovatively as part of their everyday lives, showing a living culture of their society. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The objectives of this research are to analyze how to build the political and managerial balance of government in direct and simultaneous regional elections in Indonesia based on the managerial approach of government and the decentralization approach quantitatively. Data analysis uses the Social Network Analysis (SNA) or Social Network Theory (SNT) approach to map policies using the XL Node and first-order confirmatory factor analysis which is a form of measurement model in the Structural Equation Model (SEM). The population in this study is the Regency/City and Province Organizers of the 2018 elections, which are 88 pairs of Regional Heads/Deputy Regional Heads.

This paper aims to evaluate the implementation of the Maritime Security Policy in Indonesia. While the issues of maritime security vary, this paper focuses only on three issues in maritime security, which include maritime delimitation, Illegal Unreported, and Unregulated (IUU Fishing) and Piracy. It is argued that IUU Fishing as well as piracy and any other maritime security threats emerged due to unclear maritime delimitation. Indonesia is the biggest archipelagic state in the world neighboring by ten coastal states, which each of them needs clear maritime delimitation. While Indonesia has done much in fixing its maritime delimitation, yet much remains to be done. Furthermore, while a various international legal framework has been established relating to IUU Fishing, unfortunately, national laws concerning IUU Fishing still recall for never-ending debates. Similar to this, national laws in piracy are still out of date since such laws still regulated under Criminal Laws Code/ Kitab Undang-Undang Hukum Pidana (KUHP), which was adopted from Dutch laws many decades ago. Such conditions lead to insufficient policy implementation. This paper adopts a qualitative research method. Data collected from relevant informants and will be analyzed using policy implementation theory. It is submitted that in ensuring policy implementation, existing policies relating to maritime security, especially IUU Fishing as well as piracy needs to be revisited and revised to be in accordance with international policies and legal framework.

Objective - This study attempts to provide comprehensive findings on the impact of several kinds of infrastructural developments and government budgets on specific purposes, as well as agricultural and non-agricultural productions, on poverty alleviation in Indonesia between 2002-2013. Methodology/Technique - This study uses macroeconomic data at a municipal level to provide more precise findings when comparing provincial and national level data. The study uses an adaptation of the theory of international development. Findings - This research shows that electricity and sanitation are more effective at eradicating poverty than water infrastructure. In addition, household access to infrastructure is more effective in combatting poverty than the government budget for infrastructure development. The study also performs correlation matrices, dividing the data into the western and eastern parts of Indonesia, to provide more robust findings. Agricultural production is more effective in the western part of Indonesia, yet non-agricultural production is more relevant towards poverty reduction in the eastern part of Indonesia. Novelty - This study yields some empirical results and conclusions for economic development in Indonesia, finding that the key problem lies in the effectiveness of budget arrangement within the framework of fiscal decentralization.
