Sopi is the local name of a liquor that results by evaporating liquid palm sugar of Lontar trees produced by the community in East Nusa Tenggara by inheritance. Sopi liquor comes from the Dutch word zoopje, meaning liquid alcohol. The purpose of this study is to analyze the controversy between the government’s policy on controlling and supervising Sopi beverages as liquor with the indigenous people’s custom in producing and consuming Sopi as a custom-made beverage or liquor in Manggarai’s community culture (East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia). This research uses a qualitative approach with the descriptive analysis method. In this study, several theories of health and culture in health communications were used. Excessive alcohol consumption causes severe liver inflammatory damage; to prevent this, the Indonesian government has issued control and supervision policy on liquor products, but not effectively applied to Sopi traditional liquor producers in Manggarai. Sopi liquor has cultural, magical, economic, and social kinship values in the life of the Manggaraian people inherited from generation to generation.

Indonesia9s rich biodiversity and complex geology have lured scientists from abroad for centuries. But a law adopted on 16 July by Indonesia9s parliament may convince some to go elsewhere. The legislation includes strict requirements on foreign scientists doing research in Indonesia, including the need to recruit local collaborators and a near-ban on exporting specimens, along with stiff sanctions, including jail time, for violators. The Indonesian government says the law is needed to protect Indonesia9s natural resources and develop the country9s research enterprise. But some Indonesian researchers worry it will deter foreign scientists and stifle international research collaborations.

The main source of municipal solid waste in Indonesia is residential area. The Indonesian Government Regulation No. 81/2012 concerning Residential Solid Waste (RSW) Management and Similar Types of Solid Waste stipulates that every generator is obliged to perform separation and treatment. This study was aimed to determine RSW generation rate, reduction potential, and reduction activities by the community in Tenggilis Mejoyo District, Surabaya City. The RSW generation rate and composition were measured according to ASTM D5231-92 method. RSW reduction potential was determined based on weight percentage of recyclable RSW components. This study involved 100 householders, who were selected using stratified random approach based on the economical strata. This study resulted in RSW generation rate of 0.29 kg/person day, or a total of 16.84 tons/day. The RSW composition was dominated by biodegradable organics of 74.43 %, followed by plastic and paper waste materials. Estimated RSW reduction potential was 67.92 %. The RSW separation was only done by 37 % of respondents. Main reasons of the respondents for not implementing RSW separation were inavailability of time, laziness, and no use. Composting activity was conducted by 17 % respondents. This research further provides a recommendation for improving community participation in RSW reduction.

Good governance and accountability issues have become a serious concern in Indonesia after the economic crisis and subsequent political transition in 1998. Consequently, the Indonesian government has increasingly given attention to the application of performance measurement for the governmental agencies, including local authorities, as part of bureaucratic reform and good governance practices. The purpose of this article is to review the regulations and guidelines while examining issues and consequences of implementing performance measurement system in Indonesian local governments using descriptive and analytical methods based on secondary data. Although a performance measurement system has been implemented in Indonesia for 14 years, the results have been far from satisfactory. The Performance Management System (PMS) regulation is quite comprehensive, except it lacks a punishment and reward system. Some evidence demonstrates implementation issues such as lack of compliance, lack of integration between planning and budgeting, and inaccurate indicators and data reporting.

Over the past decade and a half, the Indonesian government has progressed fitfully and inconsistently toward a stricter tobacco-control policy regime, albeit without much impact on the country's worsening tobacco epidemic. This article explains this pattern of reform in terms of the unequal but changing relationship of power between tobacco companies and tobacco farmers, on the one hand, and tobacco-control advocates based in NGOs, health professional organizations, universities, and international organizations, on the other. The first of these coalitions has had greater structural leverage, better political connections, stronger organizational capacity, greater ability to mobilize popular forces, and more capacity to cultivate a positive public image. But the second coalition has been able to exercise some influence over policy because of changes wrought by democratization. In this analysis, the author engages with the literatures on (1) Indonesia's political economy in the post–New Order period ...

The Indonesian government was the most significant actor in the ASEAN Charter debate and the relevance of regionalism for Indonesia’s foreign policy. It negotiated the Charter with the other ASEAN governments and strongly influenced the domestic debate on ASEAN and Indonesia’s role in it. The chapter outlines changes in Indonesian foreign policymaking, which became a multistakeholder process after the demise of President Suharto’s authoritarian New Order regime in May 1998. Applying Acharya’s localization theory, it examines how leading government exponents—the president, the foreign minister, and high-ranking diplomats—framed, grafted, and pruned European concepts of regional integration. The chapter shows that although the Indonesian government was the most vocal among ASEAN members in propagating EU-style reforms, it localized core reformist concepts such as democracy and human rights with extant local ideas such as organicism, soft law, leadership ambitions, ancient welfare and security conceptions, and the ASEAN Way.

In a supply chain, a supplier has a great role in determining its customer's performance. A firm's innovation is highly influenced by its technological capability (TC). This article analyses TC in Indonesian vessel component firms. Based on the analysis, it can be concluded that the firms possess a TC that has not been utilized to obtain optimum result in an innovation. This lead to a new categorization of TC based on its utilization in innovation process. Two types of TC are proposed — the potential and the realized TC. Using a modified fishbone diagram, there are some interlinked and interrelated factors which inhibit the potential TC to be developed as realized TC. To enable the conversion of potential TC to a realized TC, support from Indonesian government is indispensable.

The Hajj is an annual pilgrimage that 1-2 million Muslims undertake in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), which is the largest mass gathering event in the world, as the world's most populous Muslim nation, Indonesia holds the largest visa quota for the Hajj. All Hajj pilgrims under the quota system are registered in the Indonesian government's Hajj surveillance database to ensure adherence to the KSA authorities' health requirements. Performance of the Hajj and its rites are physically demanding, which may present health risks. This report provides a descriptive overview of mortality in Indonesian pilgrims from 2004 to 2011. The mortality rate from 2004 to 2011 ranged from 149 to 337 per 100,000 Hajj pilgrims, equivalent to the actual number of deaths ranging between 501 and 531 cases. The top two mortality causes were attributable to diseases of the circulatory and respiratory systems. Older pilgrims or pilgrims with comorbidities should be encouraged to take a less physically demanding route in the Hajj. All pilgrims should be educated on health risks and seek early health advice from the mobile medical teams provided.

Many cities in Indonesia are under pressure to reduce solid waste and dispose of it properly. In response to this pressure, the Japan International Cooperation Agency and the Indonesian Government have implemented a solid waste separation and collection project to reduce solid waste in the target area (810 households) of Balikpapan City. We used a cluster randomised controlled trial method to measure the impact of awareness-raising activities that were introduced by the project on residents’ organic solid waste separation behaviour. The level of properly separated organic solid waste increased by 6.0% in areas that conducted awareness-raising activities. Meanwhile, the level decreased by 3.6% in areas that did not conduct similar activities. Therefore, in relative comparison, awareness-raising increased the level by 9.6%. A comparison among small communities in the target area confirmed that awareness-raising activities had a significant impact on organic solid waste separation. High frequencies of monitoring at waste stations and door-to-door visits by community members had a positive impact on organic solid waste separation. A correlation between the proximity of environmental volunteers’ houses to waste stations and a high level of separation was also confirmed. The awareness-raising activities introduced by the project led to a significant increase in the separation of organic solid waste.

This chapter focuses on the inner workings of the Acehnese organisation, Gerakan Aceh Merdeka (GAM), in Malaysia and the broader struggle for independence from Indonesia. It begins the work of comparing the political transnationalism of the Acehnese versus the Chins and makes an important point that cultural and historical ties with the host state does not necessarily advantage one migrant group over another, or make their experiences with the host state completely dissimilar. On the contrary, both the Chins and the Acehnese faced similar challenges and opportunities while trying to mobilise and organise in Malaysia, while largely living here as undocumented migrants.

The emergence of private sustainability standards and certification schemes in the last twenty years has changed the production of agricultural commodities in Southern countries. Most of these standards and schemes are developed by Northern-based businesses and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) or by partnership between them. This study argues that Southern governments, such as Indonesia, need to reconsider their authority in the market system. This process of ‘claiming authority’ creates many tensions, as it is being realized in a decentralized and fragmented government system through various institutional arrangements. The research explores how the Indonesian government positions itself in the sustainability contestations and the different ways Indonesia claims its authority in the confrontation with Northern-based private standards and certifications.

Power relations between Japan and China are significant for the development of APT financial regionalism. In addition to power relations between major countries in East Asia, the development of regionalism in the region has been more or less influenced by bilateral relations. Bilateral ties among APT member countries remain essential in developing national responses to regional arrangements. Indonesian financial authorities have maintained bilateral ties with both Japanese and Chinese regulatory agencies, while also still collaborating on a regional basis. In this chapter, these mixed connections are understood to have developed the proximity, and shape the dynamics, of the political economy interactions and perceptions of Indonesian actors towards their Japanese and Chinese colleagues, which influenced Indonesia’s responses towards the progress of APT financial cooperation.

Indonesia, as one of the world’s largest greenhouse gas (GHG) emitters, is positioned to make substantial contribution to the global climate mitigation efforts. In 2020, emission from energy sector is estimated to outstrip the emissions from land use, land-use change and forestry (LULUCF). This trend continues in 2030, where energy sector will contribute to half of the total emission. Recognizing its critical importance in the global mitigation actions, Indonesian government has pledged to reduce emissions through domestic efforts by 29% by 2030 or by 41% conditional on international support under the INDC framework. This chapter aims to discuss the economic feasibility of low-carbon technologies (LCTs) to achieve INDC targets and how regional cooperation could augment the domestic action for timely emission reduction. While there has been progress towards low-carbon economy, obstacles are still evident, especially on the investment side. International supports have potential to help accelerate this progress.

Landslide occurs almost every year in Indonesia which causes tremendous damages to life and properties. Landslide hazard map would allow the identification of hazard regions for the implementation of mitigation which can minimize the loss of human life and property from future landslide occurrences. Currently, the Indonesian Government and research entities as well as academic institutions are trying to develop landslide hazard assessment model for the prone area to support prevention program, mitigation action, and evacuation plan. However, there is a lack of attention in the landslide inventory mapping as a basic input of landslide hazard mapping. Ideally, landslide inventory mapping provides detailed information about the spatiotemporal distribution of landslide occurrence. It contains the date of occurrence, types, failure mechanisms, area/volume, depth, and so on. Landslide inventory map can be prepared by several methods such as image interpretation, remote sensing techniques, detailed geomorphological fieldwork, historical archive studies, interview, and combination among several methods. The aim of this paper is to review the possibility of using various methods of inventory in Indonesia. Furthermore, this paper is also purposed to explore the use of existing landslide database for producing a landslide inventory that can be used to assess landslide hazard.

Nowadays, many people tried to create and invent new varieties of food. They all tried to enrich the life of many people and increasing their quality of life using their food. The food that they create must be nutritious, safe and healthy. This can be achieved by combining various meat and vegetable products available on the market today. Previously, the research team found that fish meat had relatively high nutrition value. The research team believed that further increase in nutrition value can be achieved by combining fish meat and rich colored vegetables. This research came up with the creation of improved fish meatball fortified with various colored vegetables. With the initiation of ASEAN Free Trade Agreement, many culinary practitioners must pay more attention to the health and safety aspects of their food offerings. Indonesian government should also support this movement by providing education to those people who are not aware of the importance of healthy and safe food or snacks, especially meatbal...

This study aimed at describing: (a) the perceptions held by a group of teachers in Bali Province on the importance of teachers’ certification program; and (b) the perceptions held by a group of teachers in Bali Province on the importance of their professional development program. Two research statements guided this study are: (a) what are teachers’ perception of the importance of teachers’ certification program? and (b) what are teachers’ perception of the importance of their professional development program? This study employed a quantitative approach using survey research design. A purposive sampling was used to obtain 26 respondents drawn from amongst teachers in three selected districts of Bali Province, namely Buleleng District (8 teachers), Jembrana District (9 teachers) and Denpasar City (9 teachers). Quantitative data were analyzed descriptively. This study finds that: (a) 77.78 % of teachers percept negatively on the importance of teachers’ certification program; and (b) 81.81 % of teachers percept negatively on the importance of their professional development program. These findings might be worthwhile for the Indonesian government to evaluate to what extent the teachers’ certification program had a positive impact on teachers’ professionalism in teaching practices. These findings might be also worthwhile for the Education Office at Bali Province to creating some innovative program of enhancing teachers’ participation in professional development program in order that students’ right to be taught by professional teachers are met adequately.

Spatial planning (SP) is an essential element to reduce disaster risk, especially in rapidly urbanizing countries with high social vulnerability such as Indonesia. While the Indonesian government has substantially progressed with the integration of SP into development, Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) and Climate Change Adaptation (CCA) have not been specifically addressed at the same level. Integrating DRR and CCA with SP is very important to lay a foundation for long-term, forward-looking risk reduction, primarily through reducing exposure to natural hazards. There are, however, only few studies that have discussed the integration of DRR and CCA into SP in Indonesia.

As a form of art rooted deep in Indonesian culture, Batik has evolved to its modern form and become internationally recognized. Their production consequently has experienced an increase as global demand continues. Such an increase in popularity comes with the price of environmental waste produced when creating Batiks. This paper explores the effectiveness of green batik initiative implemented by the Indonesian government in managing the waste coming from Batik industry. In particular, the study reported in this paper covers Batik waste management in Yogyakarta. Results of the study demonstrate that although the initiative has helped in managing the waste; however, some actions by the government will still be needed to suppress the impact further to environment.

This paper intends to bring the readers’ attention to the multidimensional impacts of the Sail Komodo event to the development of Komodo District. Indonesia is a developing archipelagical nation with many rural and underdeveloped areas. Seeing the optimism of international tourism’s role as a local economy and development booster, the Indonesian government has chosen a few potential rural and underdeveloped areas to become new tourism destinations. Komodo District is one of the few chosen ones, and an international yacht-sailing event was held in 2013 throughout the province with the name of Sail Komodo.

The nature of the Indonesia–US education relationship is encapsulated in two main points. Firstly, Indonesian respondents stated that they valued Americans’ knowledge and technology and had a strong interest in adopting them. Although the one-way transfer of knowledge from, and dependence on, foreign experts is evident, the Indonesian government has attempted to reduce dependence on foreign countries, whether that reliance was on knowledge or on finance.

This paper is intended to illustrate the fact that the case today, especially in Indonesia's commitment to convergency of IFRS, where the decision was certainly not out of global importance that in order to improve the information from the financial statements of companies in Indonesia. In addition, the IFRS Convergence is one of the Indonesian government agreements as a member of the G20 forum, the results of the meeting of G20 leaders in Washington DC forum, 15 November 2008. On the other hand, the tax rules that apply are still using the old accounting standards and do not follow the development of increasingly different. Previous differences between GAAP and tax rules are limited to the "deductible and non-deductible" which is resolved through fiscal reconciliation mechanism with positive correction and correction negatipnya. The widening gap today would be a separate issue for IAI as the organization of the accounting profession. Tax Accountant compartment formation in March 2014 is a serious evidence of the organization as an anticipation, particularly in an effort to bridge the gap widening

Terrorism emerged as serious security problem inIndonesia since a network of terrorist group rockedthis country, started from the Bali bombing (2002)followed by other consecutive bombings, such as, J.W. Marriott Hotel bombing (2003), the AustralianEmbassy bombing (2004), and the Ritz Carlton Hotelbombing (2009). This article attempts to examinethe ways in which the government responded towardsthe problem. What sort of policies did theIndonesian government take to respond to terrorismduring the 2002—2009 period? This study uses aqualitative research method. The data used in thisresearch are derived from official documents, directinterviews with government officials and the secondarysources (books and journals) on terrorism andcounterterrorism. This article shows that the governmentadopted the legal approach or law-enforcement(“hard approach”) by issuing the anti-terrorismlaw as a legal framework and by reorganizingthe police force to strengthen its counter-terroristcapability. It also adopted an “ideological” approach(soft approach) to battle religious extremism. Thissort of approach is mainly aimed at defusing andneutralizing the religious extremism of terrorist groupsand preventing it from spreading into the wider community.This article shows that the government hasused effectively both approaches in destroying problemof terrorism in Indonesia.Key Words: Indonesia, policy, terrorism,counterterrorism, legal approach, “ideological”approach.
