The project improves the performance of enterprises in several value chains, supports dialogue between the public and private sectors to identify business issues and solutions, and strengthens the public sector to improve the business-enabling environment. A key component of the MSME project is biodiversity conservation through sound management of biologically important areas and reducing threats to biodiversity in priority locations. This component focuses on forest conservation through Community Based Natural Resource Management, promoting wildlife habitat, improving local community livelihoods through Non-Timber Forest Products (NTFP) enterprise development, and promoting sustainable conservation practices by local communities and government agencies. Honey and resin are the primary NTFPs being developing using a value chain approach. Value chain interventions facilitated by the project include technical and business training and cross-provincial trips to visit successful leading enterprises, Community Forestry Associations (CF) and Community Protected Areas (CPA). The project facilitates business forums to promote a better business environment and increased investment opportunities. International study tours are sponsored to countries in Southeast Asia- -those with successful experience in selected value chain development, including the policy and regulatory environment. With these value chain interventions in mind, an international study tour was organized to Indonesia, from March 17 to March 28, 2010. The focus area for this tour was the Danau Sentarum National Park in West Kalimantan, Indonesia, where there has been nearly two decades of successful forest honey enterprise in a remote protected area setting. The overall objectives of the study tour were: . To exchange experiences on biodiversity conservation and natural resource management best practices. To learn about best practices in sustainable wild honey harvesting, processing and marketing. To learn how Community Groups advocate and work together with government to improve the Honey business environment and promote biodiversity conservation. To exchange experiences between national and provincial Ministry of Forestry officials, on their role in promoting sustainable NTFP management and biodiversity conservation-- particularly as it relates to the policy and regulatory environment.

March 18, 2010. The group was taken by bus to the Indonesian Ministry of Forestry for a discussion with the head of Danau Sentarum National Park and other representatives from the Directorate for Forest Protection and Nature Conservation. After introductions, the head of the park gave a presentation about the ecological and social aspects of park management, including the structure of the Honey Cooperative and associated fund flows (the information regarding honey trade turned out to be out-of-date). The presentation, which was given in Indonesian, was translated into English by Erik Meijaard, and then translated into Khmer by Ponreay. It provided a useful introduction to the park, its natural resources, socio-economic aspects, threats and management solutions. After the meeting, the Indonesian government officials were presented a gift from the Cambodian delegation. Kheng Bunna (top) and Tith Saroeun The flight from Jakarta to Pontianak was uneventful. On arrival, we (bottom) on boat in Danau Sentarum. were met by a representative of the local NGO, Riak Bumi, which is heavily involved in the work on the Indonesian Honey Association. March 19, 2010. After breakfast our bus arrived to take us to Sintang, 415 km from Pontianak. We met with Heri Valentinus from the Riak Bumi NGO who would be responsible for coordinating the Danau Sentarum part of the trip's logistics. We made a brief stop at the Equator Monument where a short presentation was given about the history of the monument. From there the trip continued along the long, narrow and windy roads of West Kalimantan. The Cambodian delegation was quite taken aback by the Indonesian driving style and on several occasions we had to ask the bus driver to slow down, take corners less aggressively, and not to overtake other vehicles just before blind corners. We made another stop along the way in an oil palm plantation to talk about the benefits, but also social and environmental costs, of oil palm development. There was considerable interest in this, with several questions and ensuing discussions keeping us there for nearly one hour. We continued the bus ride and finally arrived in Sintang around 7 pm, after a tiring day that not many participants enjoyed. Apparently, roads in Cambodia are just as bad—albeit less windy—but the driving International Biodiversity Exposure Mission, Kalimantan, Indonesia 17 -27 March 2010 8 style is much slower and less aggressive. A good meal in a local fish restaurant made up to some extent for the long trip, but after checking into our hotel, everyone quickly retired for some badly needed rest.

Various efforts were made by the Government of Indonesia to provide a territorial comprehension in order to make the younger generation understand about the circumstances of their country. One effective way is through Territorial Atlas of The Republic of Indonesia, which is the result from collaboration project between Geospatial Information Agency and Ministry of Education and Culture of Indonesia. This atlas is intended towards the benefit of teenage children, who are taking middle education level between the ages of 12-15 years. It is necessary for children at that age to be equipped with spatial intelligence related to the territorial comprehension of Indonesia, the historical development of the Republic of Indonesia, and also the natural resources potential of their country. This comprehension is needed considering that adolescence is a vulnerable age who require self-actualization, so they need to get a correct understanding of the NKRI region in order to foster the sense of nationalism.

  • The Mayas a Transplanted Indian Civilization
    THE MAYAS A TRANSPLANTED INDIAN CIVILIZATION by Alain Verdier In several speeches given between 1979 and 1988, indian philosopher and historian P.R. Sarkar made startling revelaons concerning the Mayan civilizaBon. According to him, the Mayan civilizaBon was a « transplanted Indian civilizaBon. It went From South India to Central America during the Chola, Pandya and Pallava dynasBes oF the Indian Middle Ages. » He specifically indicated that it first migrated to Central America during the rule oF the Pallavas. This period corresponds to the Classic Period oF the Mayan civilizaBon (4th to 10th century) which also sees a peak in large-scale construcBons and urbanism. Due to the contacts between India and America, many centuries beFore the discovery oF that conBnent by Christopher Colombus, the Indian and the transplanted Mayan civilizaBon existed side by side. Sarkar actually explained that ‘Mayadviipa’ (Mayan island), the Sanskrit name For America, came From the name oF the Mayan civilizaBon. However, while the Indians had invented the wheel several millenia beFore, the Mayas lagged behind due to the Fact that they never knew its use. Sarkar once pointed out that a true civilizaBon must have Four signs oF progress : agriculture, wheel, dress and script. According to him, many old civilizaBons disapeared From the annals oF history because they simply could not invent the wheel and could not make carts and chariots. It was For that very reason that the Mayan civilizaBon had its downFall and was Forced in subsequent Bmes to concede deFeat at the hands oF other civilizaBons. This was, he said « due to some slight deFect.

  • East Java – Bali Power Distribution Strengthening Project
    *OFFICIAL USE ONLY PT PLN (Persero) East Java – Bali Power Distribution Strengthening Project Environmental & Social Management Planning Framework (Version for Disclosure) January 2020 *OFFICIAL USE ONLY BASIC INFORMATION 1. Country and Project Name: Indonesia – East Java & Bali Power Distribution Strengthening Project 2. Project Development Objective: The expansion of the distribution network comprises erection of new poles, cable stringing, and installation of distribution transformers. 3. Expected Project Benefits: Construction of about 17,000 km distribution lines and installation of distribution transformers in East Java and Bali 4. Identified Project Environmental and Social Risks: Social Risks. It is envisaged that this project will require (i) use of no more than 0.2 m2 of land for installation of concrete poles and approximately 4m2 for installation of transformers (either in cabinet of between two concrete poles or on one pole); limited directional drilling (approx. 200-300m) to run cables under major roads and limited trenching (usually less than 500m) in urban environments, and (iii) possible removal of non-land assets (primarily trimming or felling of trees) for stringing of conductors. While restrictions on land use within the existing right of way apply, the land requirements for the distribution network (lines and transformers) are considered manageable with normal mitigation measures. Project activities will not (i) require land acquisition, (ii) cause physical or economic displacement; and/or (ii) result in adverse impacts to Indigenous Peoples groups and/or members of ethnic minorities. Environmental risks are principally induced by the establishment of the network across natural habitats and potential impact on fauna (in particular avifauna and terrestrial fauna susceptible to access the distribution lines or transformers such as monkeys or other tree dwelling scavenging animals that frequent semi urban environments), and the management of waste (e.g.

Tujuannya adalah untuk mengetahui bagaimana proses dan bentuk strategi akulturasi masyarakat Batak di Pontianak. Ciri khas yang dimiliki Kalimantan Barat yaitu mengidentikkan etnis dengan agama tertentu, membuat etnis Batak selalu diidentikkan dengan agama Kristiani, agama yang sama dengan salah satu etnis yang pernah berkonflik. Masyarakat Batak di Pontianak dalam catatan sejarah, tidak pernah terlibat dalam konflik yang telah sering terjadi di Kalimantan Barat. Hal ini menjadi ketertarikan tersendiri untuk mengetahui bagaimana pola akulturasi masyarakat Batak di Pontianak. Metode yang digunakan adalah kualitatif deskriptif dengan teknik pengumpulan data yaitu wawancara dan observasi.

On the con- trary: their positions within the landscape and their architectural designs were determined by socio-cultural, religious and economic factors. This book ex- plores the correlations between temple distribution, natural surroundings and architectural design to understand how Central Javanese people structured Candi, Space and Landscape the space around them, and how the religious landscape thus created devel- oped. Besides questions related to territory and landscape, this book analyzes the structure of the built space and its possible relations with conceptualized space, showing the influence of imported Indian concepts, as well as their limits. Going off the beaten track, the present study explores the hundreds of small sites that scatter the landscape of Central Java. It is also one of very few stud- ies to apply the methods of spatial archaeology to Central Javanese temples and the first in almost one century to present a descriptive inventory of the remains of this region.

Acknowledgements My wish to research the relationship between Ancient Javanese architecture and its natural environment is probably born in 1993. That summer, I made a trip to Indonesia to complete the writing of my BA dissertation. There, on the upper slopes of the ever-clouded Ungaran volcano, looking at the sulfurous spring that runs between the shrines of Gedong Songo, I experienced the genius loci of Central Javanese architects. After my BA, I did many things and had many jobs, not all of them being archaeology-related. Nevertheless, when I finally arrived in Leiden to enroll as a PhD student, the subject naturally imposed itself upon me. Here is the result, a thesis exploring the notion of space in ancient Central Java, from the lay-out of the temple plan to the interrelationship between built and natural landscape.

The ASEAN National Tourism Organizations (ASEAN NTOs) formulated a Plan of Action for ASEAN Co-operation in Tourism which includes the facilitation of investment within the region. Tourism has become a key industry and an important generator of income and employment for countries in the region. The rapid growth of tourism in recent years has attracted the interest of potential investors who are keen to be involved in this industry. One of the measures under the Implementation of Roadmap for Integration of Tourism Sector (Tourism Investment) is the Incentives for Development of Tourism Infrastructure (Measure no. 20). The objective of this measure is to provide incentives for the development of tourism infrastructure so as to encourage private investment in the ASEAN countries coming from investors within and outside the region.
