All forest plants used were identified and classified based on their types and classes during data collection. Semi-structural interviews through questionnaires were undertaken to obtain daily information. The results showed that there were a total of 64 forest plant life forms and categories extracted for various reasons. Most of the subject forest plants were found in the surrounding lowland tropical forest, the dominant categories were monocotyledons followed by dicotyledons, pteridophytes, and thallophytes. A strong positive correlation was determined between the frequency of species use and the benefit value that was gained (0.6453), while a strong negative correlation was observed between the value of plant’s benefit and the difficulty of access to those plants (-0.2646).

  • The North Kalimantan Communist Party and the People's Republic Of
    The Developing Economies, XLIII-4 (December 2005): 489–513 THE NORTH KALIMANTAN COMMUNIST PARTY AND THE PEOPLE’S REPUBLIC OF CHINA FUJIO HARA First version received January 2005; final version accepted July 2005 In this article, the author offers a detailed analysis of the history of the North Kalimantan Communist Party (NKCP), a political organization whose foundation date itself has been thus far ambiguous, relying mainly on the party’s own documents. The relation- ships between the Brunei Uprising and the armed struggle in Sarawak are also referred to. Though the Brunei Uprising of 1962 waged by the Partai Rakyat Brunei (People’s Party of Brunei) was soon followed by armed struggle in Sarawak, their relations have so far not been adequately analyzed. The author also examines the decisive roles played by Wen Ming Chyuan, Chairman of the NKCP, and the People’s Republic of China, which supported the NKCP for the entire period following its inauguration. INTRODUCTION PRELIMINARY study of the North Kalimantan Communist Party (NKCP, here- after referred to as “the Party”), an illegal leftist political party based in A Sarawak, was published by this author in 2000 (Hara 2000). However, the study did not rely on the official documents of the Party itself, but instead relied mainly on information provided by third parties such as the Renmin ribao of China and the Zhen xian bao, the newspaper that was the weekly organ of the now defunct Barisan Sosialis of Singapore. Though these were closely connected with the NKCP, many problems still remained unresolved. In this study the author attempts to construct a more precise party history relying mainly on the party’s own information and docu- ments provided by former members during the author’s visit to Sibu in August 2001.1 –––––––––––––––––––––––––– This paper is an outcome of research funded by the Pache Research Subsidy I-A of Nanzan University for the academic year 2000.

  • Governing New Guinea New
    Governing New Guinea New Guinea Governing An oral history of Papuan administrators, 1950-1990 Governing For the first time, indigenous Papuan administrators share their experiences in governing their country with an inter- national public. They were the brokers of development. After graduating from the School for Indigenous Administrators New Guinea (OSIBA) they served in the Dutch administration until 1962. The period 1962-1969 stands out as turbulent and dangerous, Leontine Visser (Ed) and has in many cases curbed professional careers. The politi- cal and administrative transformations under the Indonesian governance of Irian Jaya/Papua are then recounted, as they remained in active service until retirement in the early 1990s. The book brings together 17 oral histories of the everyday life of Papuan civil servants, including their relationship with superiors and colleagues, the murder of a Dutch administrator, how they translated ‘development’ to the Papuan people, the organisation of the first democratic institutions, and the actual political and economic conditions leading up to the so-called Act of Free Choice. Finally, they share their experiences in the UNTEA and Indonesian government organisation. Leontine Visser is Professor of Development Anthropology at Wageningen University. Her research focuses on governance and natural resources management in eastern Indonesia. Leontine Visser (Ed.)

  • Penerbangan Selamat Ke Bandara Plateau
    Penerbangan Selamat Ke Bandara Plateau Ketika mendengar telah terjadi lagi kecelakaan fatal yang kali ini terjadi di pegunungan Mamontoga, Kabupaten Mimika, Papua, kami, sebagai bagian dari bangsa, terinspirasi dari lubuk hati yang paling dalam, untuk turut mencermati dan berbagi untuk Anda. Kecelakaan fatal tersebut dialami oleh pesawat jenis Twin Otter seri 400 dengan registrasi PK-CDC, akibat menabrak tebing terjal pegunungan di ketinggian ±13.500 kaki, ketika sedang melakukan penerbangan dari Mozes Kilangin Airport (7.677 ft/2.340 m), Timika Kabupaten Mimika ke Ilaga Airport (7.500 ft/2.286 m), Kabupaten Puncak di Papua. Kedua bandar udara itu termasuk bandar udara yang terletak di dataran tinggi (plateau airport). Sebagaimana biasanya mulailah kami mencari bahan tulisan yang terkait untuk disusun menjadi sebuah konsep tulisan yang akan disajikan kedalam artikel ini. Ada 2 Working Papers terkait yang dibahas di Sidang Ke-40 ICAO yaitu dari Delegasi China (PRC) tentang keselamatan operasi penerbangan dan dari RI (Indonesia) tentang standar bandar udara (Standards for Small Aerodrome in Mountainous Area). Kami mengutip berbagai informasi, standar dan data dari berbagai sumber terpercaya di dunia, seperti FAA dan otoritas penerbangan lainnya, sehingga tersusunlah artikel di bawah ini untuk Anda. Untuk mendapatkan gambaran yang lebih jelas lagi tentang apa dan bagaimana bandar udara yang terletak di dataran tinggi ini diterbangi, ada baiknya kita mencermati beberapa negara, bagaimana maskapainya menerbangi dengan selamat terutama di saat cuacanya tidak bersahabat. Bandar udara yang terletak di ketinggian selain disebut sebagai high elevation aerodrome oleh otoritas tertentu juga disebut sebagai Plateau Airport. Data dari CAAC (Civil Aviation Administration of China), menunjukkan bahwa bandar udara udara plateau sebagian besar berada di sekitar pegunungan Himalayas, Asia dan pegunungan Andes di Amerika Latin yang memiliki puncak tertingginya yang terkenal, Aconcagua (±22.841 kaki).

  • Austronesians in Papua: Diversification and Change in South Halmahera–West New Guinea
    Austronesians in Papua: Diversification and change in South Halmahera–West New Guinea by David Christopher Kamholz A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Linguistics in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Andrew Garrett, Chair Professor Larry Hyman Professor Johanna Nichols Fall 2014 Austronesians in Papua: Diversification and change in South Halmahera–West New Guinea Copyright 2014 by David Christopher Kamholz 1 Abstract Austronesians in Papua: Diversification and change in South Halmahera–West New Guinea by David Christopher Kamholz Doctor of Philosophy in Linguistics University of California, Berkeley Professor Andrew Garrett, Chair This dissertation presents a new subgrouping of South Halmahera–West New Guinea (SHWNG) languages. The 38 SHWNG languages form a small, poorly known branch of Austronesian. The Austronesian family originated in Taiwan and later spread into In- donesia, across New Guinea, and to the remote Pacific. In New Guinea, approximately 3500 years ago, Austronesian speakers first came into contact with so-called Papuan languages—the non-Austronesian languages indigenous to New Guinea, comprising more than 20 families. The Austronesian languages still extant from this initial spread into New Guinea fall into two branches: SHWNG and Oceanic. In great contrast to Oceanic, only a few SHWNG languages are well-described, and almost nothing has been reconstructed at the level of Proto-SHWNG. Contact with Papuan languages has given the SHWNG lan- guages a typological profile quite different from their linguistic forebears. Chapter 1 puts the SHWNG languages in context, describing their significance for Aus- tronesian and their broader relevance to historical linguistics.
