The lack of waste management resources affects waste management practices. The informal waste sector involving local communities is crucial for waste management, but the lack of official records may impede sustainability goals and obscure its positive impact. This research aims to understand informal waste sector traits for better local waste management policies in promoting sustainability. The study uses the pressure-state-response framework to identify characteristics and issues in the informal waste sector. The results show seven main problems of the informal waste sector in Balikpapan, namely scrap collectors get the smallest profit; 8% of plastic waste can be managed by the informal waste sector; the majority of plastic waste comes from temporary disposal sites known as TPS; there is also unsold or unmanaged plastic waste, as much as 18%, which comes from collectors and middlemen; plastic waste types such as PVC, LDPE, PP, PS, and others have decreased; there is illegal interaction and communication between formal and informal sectors (scavengers); and social harassment is experienced by informal actors in Balikpapan City. To respond to these problems, there is policy recommendations, namely to establish a comprehensive Integration or Formalization and Innovation Centre to encourage collaboration between the informal and formal sectors.

Kriminalitas adalah segala macam tindakan yang merugikan secara ekonomis dan psikologis serta merupakan struktur sosial yang dapat berubah dari waktu ke waktu. Peningkatan kriminalitas dapat disebabkan oleh kejadian luar biasa. Perubahan dalam pertemuan korban dan pelaku terjadi seiring mekanisme lingkungan sosial dan kontrol sosial berubah. Kelurahan Damai memiliki tingkat kriminalitas tertinggi di Kota Balikpapan sejak sebelum hingga setelah pandemi COVID-19. Penelitian ini menggunakan SIG dalam memetakan daerah rawan kriminalitas. Analisis selanjutnya mendeteksi indeks Nearest Neighbour untuk mengetahui pola persebaran titik rawan kriminal. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa secara umum, pola sebaran kriminalitas tetap menyebar sejak sebelum hingga setelah Covid-19. Meskipun demikian, jumlah kriminalitas mengalami peningkatan dengan jumlah tertinggi pada titik waktu setelah Covid-19.

Gojek merupakan salah satu pelopor jasa transportasi online yang masih eksis di Indonesia hingga hari ini. Kota Balikpapan yang dihuni 703.611 jiwa adalah salah satu kota dengan aktivitas pengguna aplikasi Gojek tertinggi di wilayah Indonesia Timur pada tahun 2019. Kendati demikian, Gojek pernah mengalami penurunan jumlah pengguna akibat kenaikan harga BBM, dan keluhan pada aplikasi Gojek itu sendiri. Salah satu cara untuk menangani penurunan tersebut yaitu dengan memberikan layanan sesuai perilaku pengguna dalam menggunakan aplikasi Gojek. Hal ini dapat dilakukan dengan sebuah evaluasi penerimaan aplikasi Gojek dengan menggunakan metode UTAUT2. UTAUT2 merupakan metode untuk mengetahui bagaimana suatu teknologi diterima dan digunakan. Dari 9 variabel yang terdapat pada UTAUT2, variabel behavioral intention dan use behavior adalah variabel untuk membantu mengetahui dan menggambarkan niat dan frekuensi seorang pengguna dalam menggunakan suatu aplikasi. Penelitian kuantitatif ini dilakukan untuk mengetahui bagaimana behavioral intention memengaruhi use behavior pada penggunaan aplikasi Gojek di Kota Balikpapan, menggunakan metode PLS-SEM pada perangkat lunak WarpPLS dengan 139 responden. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa 3 dari 10 hipotesis diterima dan 7 sisanya ditolak. Variabel performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence, facilitating conditions, hedonic motivation dan price value berpengaruh positif tidak signifikan terhadap behavioral intention, serta facilitating conditions berpengaruh positif tidak signifikan terhadap use behavior. Variabel habit berpengaruh positif signifikan baik terhadap behavioral intention dan use behavior. Variabel behavioral intention berpengaruh positif signifikan terhadap use behavior. Berdasarkan hasil analisis, disusun 4 rekomendasi yang dapat dijadikan acuan bagi perusahaan Gojek untuk meningkatkan intensi dan frekuensi penggunanya dalam menggunakan aplikasi Gojek baik di Kota Balikpapan maupun di tempat lain.

This study aims to examine the form of speech act deficit and conversation structure deficit in the speech of schizophrenia patients at Klinik Ego Balikpapan. This research is qualitative research with a clinical pragmatics approach. The research location is at Klinik Kesehatan Jiwa Ego Balikpapan. This research's data collection technique is free listening (SBLC). The data analysis technique is through data collection, reduction, presentation, analysis, and conclusion. The results of the research on the form of speech act deficit of schizophrenia patients: (1) descriptive locution deficit, (2) assertive illocution deficit, and (3) declarative illocution deficit. The conversational structure deficits found: were (1) conversational turns, (2) adjacent pairs, and (3) pauses. Patients experience pragmatic deficits with a pattern of not being able to speak with a completely clear sentence pronunciation, often repeating sentences, and their speech is slightly slower than normal people in general. However, interlocutors can accept the communication skills of schizophrenic patients because they have good information power. Patients can be invited to talk even though the answer response is chattering according to their wishes as a form of their delusions, and there are some utterances with words with unclear meanings.

The Kariangau Industrial Zone extends industry from Balikpapan city in the Central Balikpapan to the coast in Western Balikpapan, forming a part of Balikpapan Bay. Our study aimed to estimate the diversity, species composition, and the abundance distribution of birds at the industrial zone of Balikpapan City. Our study contained six replicates each of boat transects on four rivers, the Somber, Getah, Paka Dua, and Wain rivers during the months of May and June 2017. We calculated the Margalef diversity and Bray–Curtis similarity indices to estimate diversity and species composition, whereas bird abundance distributions were analyzed using Paleontological Statistics (PAST) version 3.12. The Getah river had the highest diversity index (4.846), followed by the Somber (3.988), Wain (3.510), and Paka Dua (3.050) rivers. The Bray–Curtis index revealed high similarity in species composition between the Wain and Paka Dua. Our rarefaction analysis showed that the Wain and Paka Dua rivers were well sampled and had lower species richness, with low differences between the observed and expected species richness, than the Somber and Getah rivers. Fisher Log Series Model also showed abundance distribution being highest at Getah (11.170), and lowest at the Paka Dua Rivers (5.221). This observation may be due to heightened industrial activities and boat traffic on each river. Our study provides a useful baseline for future research on the bird assemblages on Balikpapan Bay.

Abstract. Innovation system which promotes knowledge-based economy, instead of factor-driven economy, has been realized by many countries to be an obligatory system to improve national or regional competitiveness. It requires the collaboration of all stakeholders which are related to development to enhance innovation with specialization as the competitiveness value. Semarang and Balikpapan, two emerging cities in Indonesia, has implemented regional innovation system (RIS) with their own strengths and weaknesses. This study uses conceptual analysis with qualitative and quantitative methodology and The Innovation Policy Framework as tool to assess both cities’ performance. The study finds that both cities have basic understanding about innovation with specialization such as Semarang develops innovation in city tourism while Balikpapan enhances innovation in green economy. The hard challenges faced by both cities are integration of all stakeholders in enhancing innovation that however is still partially implemented. At the end, this study draws the concept of both cities to develop the system yet without neglecting their existed performance. Keywords: Balikpapan, collaboration, knowledge-based economy, regional innovation system, Semarang

Starting in 1942, around 1000 Australian sailors were trained in amphibious warfare. In May-July 1945, they participated in the liberation of Borneo, primarily by providing landing craft crews, beach parties and signals teams for amphibious landings at Tarakan, Brunei Bay and Balikpapan.
