The affected populations are parties who control or possess an object land acquisition. Census of affected – The census is a count of all displaced persons irrespective of persons their titled or non-titled land ownership status. Its purpose is to accurately document the number of displaced persons and to create an inventory of their losses finalized on the basis of a DMS. A census describes the persons who are displaced, their livelihoods and income sources, and what they are likely to lose because of the project. Compensation – Proper and equitable replacement provided in the form of cash or other agreed in kind at replacement cost to the affected person / entitled party in the process of land acquisition / resettlement for the assets and livelihoods lost or affected by the project. Construction Works – A CWZ shall be a designated zone defined during detailed Zone design and clearly identified in the resettlement plan update that will divide the canal/river into convenient stretches for construction implementation Corridor of Impact – Area, which is impacted by civil works in the implementation of any subproject of the FMSRBSP. It is important in two particular respects: (a) Legally as the area within which AHs will be entitled to compensation and other measures for any loss of land, structures or land use and occupation and of livelihoods and (b) Operationally as the agreed and demarcated area within which construction activities will take place. Cut-off date – The cut-off-date for eligibility to project entitlements refers to the date when the Land Acquisition Implementation Team (LAIT) led by Land Agency posts the result of the detailed measurement survey (DMS) that include the list of the entitled parties and the losses in public places (e.g village office, district office, and the location of the land acquisition). The cut-off date sets the time limits to determine eligibility of persons living and/or with assets or interests inside the project areas. Should they be adversely affected, they will be entitled to compensation for their affected assets, including rehabilitation measures as needed, sufficient to assist them to improve or at least maintain their pre-project living standards, income-earning capacity and production levels. Those who encroach into the project area, or any of its subprojects, after the cut-off date will not be entitled to compensation or any other assistance. The cut-off date will be made known to entitled parties and other stakeholders. Detailed Measurement – With the use of approved detailed engineering drawings, this Survey activity involves the finalization and/or validation of the results of the IOL, severity of impacts, and list of APs done during the preparation of this resettlement plan. The updating will be carried out during land acquisition implementation phase undertaken by the land acquisition team led by land office.

  • The Pesantren in Banten: Local Wisdom and Challenges of Modernity
    The Pesantren in Banten: Local Wisdom and Challenges of Modernity Mohamad Hudaeri1, Atu Karomah2, and Sholahuddin Al Ayubi3 {[email protected], [email protected], [email protected]} Faculty of Ushuluddin and Adab, State Islamic University SMH Banten, Jl. Jend. Sudirman No. 30, Serang, Indonesia1 Faculty of Syariah, State Islamic University SMH Banten, Jl. Jend. Sudirman No. 30, Serang, Indonesia2 Faculty of Ushuluddin and Adab, State Islamic University SMH Banten, Jl. Jend. Sudirman No. 30, Serang, Indonesia3 Abstract. Pesantrens (Islamic Boarding School) are Islamic educational institutions in Indonesia that are timeless, because of their adaptability to the development of society. These educational institutions develop because they have the wisdom to face changes and the ability to adapt to the challenges of modernity. During the colonial period, pesantren adapted to local culture so that Islam could be accepted by the Banten people, as well as a center of resistance to colonialism. Whereas in contemporary times, pesantren adapted to the demands of modern life. Although due to the challenges of modernity there are various variants of the pesantren model, it is related to the emergence of religious ideology in responding to modernity. The ability of pesantren in adapting to facing challenges can‘t be separated from the discursive tradition in Islam so that the scholars can negotiate between past practices as a reference with the demands of the age faced and their future. Keywords: pesantren, madrasa, Banten, a discursive tradition. 1. Introduction Although Islamic educational institutions (madrasa and pesantren) have an important role in the Muslim community in Indonesia and in other Muslim countries, academic studies that discuss them are still relatively few.

  • Development Perspectives of Irrigated Agriculture in Indonesia
    Development Perspectives of Irrigated Agriculture in Indonesia Effendi Pasandaran and Neulis Zuliasri * INTRODUCTION Indonesia’s economic development is depended in large part on changes in the agricultural sector, particularly in the irrigated agriculture. The importance of irrigation development and management has been demonstrated by its significant contribution to food crop production and its significant share of public expenditures. Despite favorable policy support on irrigation in the past, in recent years, however, there has been a considerable slowdown in the rate of growth in rice yields. This paper explores the complex issues related to irrigation management in Indonesia from the view point of development perspective. First it highlights irrigation development during the colonial and post-colonial period, followed by discussions on the trend of land and water resources utilization, and its consequence on production. Finally it draws some implications on food security and poverty reduction in Indonesia. IRRIGATED AGRICULTURE DURING COLONIAL PERIOD Irrigation was developed during the period of Hindu Rulers around the end of the first millennium in Java and Bali. This was considered major revolution in rice culture, which then gave rise to important social change in terms of division of labor and accumulation of wealth. Because of the increasing population pressure traditional methods of rice culture did not produce sufficient food. Irrigated agricultural practices were expanded to meet the increasing demand for rice. However, as the capacity of rice fields increased through irrigation, so did the population (Leander1992).This is particularly true for Java as reported by Boeke (1966), that the increasing production of rice was followed by the increasing population which caused the farmers in irrigated areas in Java remain poor.

  • National Report on Animal Genetic Resources Indonesia
    NATIONAL REPORT ON ANIMAL GENETIC RESOURCES INDONESIA A Strategic Policy Document F O R E W O R D The Ministry of Agriculture of the Republic of Indonesia, represented by the Directorate General of Livestock Services, has been invited by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) to participate in the preparation of the first State of The World’s Animal Genetic Resources. The State of the World’s Animal Genetic Resources is important, and has to be supported by all institutions concerned, by the experts, by the politicians, by the breeders, by the farmers and farmer’s societies and by other stakeholders in the country. The World Food Summit in 1996 committed to reducing the number of people who are suffering from malnutrition in the world from 800 million to 400 million by the year 2015. This will have a tremendous implication for Indonesia which has human population growth of almost 3 million people a year. Indonesia has a large biodiversity which could be utilized to increase and strengthen national food security. Indonesia has lots of indigenous plant genetic resources and indigenous animal genetic resources consisting of mammals, reptiles and amphibians, birds and fish including species and breeds of farm genetic resources such as cattle, buffaloes, goats, sheep, pigs, chicken, ducks, horses and others. The objectives of agricultural development in Indonesia are principally increasing the farmer’s income and welfare, leading to National Food Security as well as the Development of Security as a Nation. The policies of management of animal genetic resources refers to three approaches, those are (1): Pure-breeding and Conservation; (2) Cross breeding; and (3) the Development of new breeds.
