Environmental load issues in Jakarta, economic contribution to GDP, Java's dominance in land conversion, economic justice, and a water supply dilemma are all factors that contribute to Jakarta's excessive density. Therefore, the Indonesian government intends to relocate the Indonesia’s capital to the Penajam Paser Utara district, in the East Kalimantan Province, in 2024. One of the challenges for the new capital, known as Indonesia's new capital (IKN), is securing a sustainable raw water supply for drinking. On the other hand, the potential of existing water resources is very limited in terms of resources and supporting infrastructure. This paper investigates the forecasting and sustainability of raw water supply for Indonesia’s new capital. The hydrological feasibility method, which includes calculating the estimated supply and evaluating the sustainability of IKN raw water sources, was used in this study. The result showed the estimated raw water requirements for the IKN area during the period 2023- 2073. The critical point of the resulting state is that the water resources of IKN by 2023 will be secure if the infrastructure plan is properly implemented. Meanwhile, IKN will be in deficit after 2045. Therefore, integrated water resource management is an important issue for the Indonesian government to minimize the limited raw water sources for IKN's sustainability [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The paper deals with the practices and challenges of the certification program for professional librarians in Indonesia. The certification is regarded as the policy and strategy to enhance skills and competencies of professional librarians to transform libraries. The study provides descriptive analysis to explain the implementation of certification program in Indonesia from 2013-2017. The results of study show that the total of 3.039 librarians in Indonesia, 891 librarians (29%) has participated in the certification program. Moreover, the findings indicate that 646 librarians (72.5 %) are certifed as competent while 245 librarians are not certified yet or not competent. These results imply that there are the challenges to increase the awareness and the participation of librarians in the certification program, and to strengthen the professional development program in order to accelerate the library transformation in Indonesia.

Academic works produced by university members are valuable resources that should be managed properly. The development of Institutional repositories (IRs) was purposed to preserve and disseminated these resources so that benefit to the university in enhancing university scholarship and performances. However, the existing of repository system is less used. It is alleged that lecturers are not aware and reluctant due to the lack of their motivation. User expectancy is regarded as motivational factor that lead invidual to use insitutitional repositories. The purpose of this paper is to examine the relationship between user expectancy and the use of institutional repositories in higher education institutions in Indonesia. A study is conducted with 50 university lecturers at Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta. Structural Equation Modelling Partial Least Square (PLS-SEM) is used for data analysis. SmartPLs 2.0 software is employed in the analysis. The result indicated that since the measuring instruments are valid and reliable, user expectancy have influence to the use of IRs. Based on the structural model, it was found that user expectancy contributes to the use of IRs up to 57,6 %. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
