Natural Disaster Risk Assessment and Area Business Continuity Plan Formulation for Industrial Agglomerated Areas in the ASEAN Region Natural Disaster Risk Assessment and Area Business Continuity Plan Formulation for Industrial Agglomerated Areas in the ASEAN Region Risk Profile Report - Bekasi and Karawang of Indonesia - February 2015 AHA CENTRE Japan International Cooperation Agency OYO International Corporation Mitsubishi Research Institute, Inc. CTI Engineering International Co., Ltd. Outline of the Pilot Area Country name Indonesia Pilot areas Industrial clusters and surrounding areas in Karawang Regency, Bekasi Regency and Bekasi City Location of pilot Pilot areas are located in the east of Jakarta. Industrial clusters are scattered across areas Bekasi Regency, Karawang Regency and Bekasi City. There are 12 industrial parks. (The approximate area where industrial parks are scattered is indicated by a red broken line.) Jakarta Industrial clusters Local Local government of Indonesia consists of two levels: the higher level is Provinces administrative (Provinsi), under which Regencies (Kabupaten) and Cities (Kota) are placed as the agencies in pilot second level. Regencies and Cities, in particular, are independent administrative areas organizations, unlike in Japan where Prefectures (Regencies) encompass Cities. Area and Local administrative Area (km2) Population* population of pilot agencies areas Karawang Regency Bekasi Regency Bekasi City West Java Province * As of 2000, partially as of 2005 Natural conditions Tropical rainforest climate with rainy and dry seasons. The risk of flooding increases of pilot areas in some parts of the areas during the rainy season. Hazards Four rivers (Citarum, Cibeet, Cikarang and Bekasi) flow across the pilot areas. The (disasters) in pilot Cibeet River converges with the Citarum River in Karawang. The Cikarang River areas: converges with the Bekasi River. Therefore, there are two water systems: the Citarum Flood River system and the Cikaran-Bekasi River system. There are vulnerable areas where flooding occurs frequently. The areas with high risk of floods are: ・ regions lower than the point where the Citarum River meets the Cibeet River; ・ flood-prone areas of the Bekasi River; and ・ flood-prone areas of the Cikaran River. i The industrial parks in Bekasi and Karawang are located relatively high above the sea level with less direct risk of flooding. However, there are flood-prone areas in the surrounding areas, where social infrastructures and local communities are vulnerable to floods. As a result, distribution systems, employees, etc. would be directly affected, and industrial parks would not be able to avoid indirect damage. Hazards The Sunda Trench extends east and west in the area south of the island of Java. Along (disasters) in pilot the trench, the Indo-Australian plate dives under the Eurasian plate, which causes areas: earthquake activity similar to that in Japan. However, pilot areas would not be heavily Earthquake damaged by a huge earthquake occurring in the Sunda Trench since the areas are located in the area north of the island of Java, far away from the seismic center. That is why no seismic disasters with many casualties in Bekasi and Karawang have been recorded in the disaster database since the 20th century. However in the central mountain range of West Java Province, two inland earthquakes occurred in 1975 and 2005, which killed two persons, one in each case. Moreover, another earthquake occurred in the 19th century, which killed 7 people in the north of West Java Province. Hazards No tsunamis with casualties in the surrounding regions of pilot areas have been (disasters) in pilot recorded in the disaster database. Earthquakes occurring at trenches generate tsunamis areas: and cause damage in the area south of the island of Java. Tsunamis would thus pass the Tsunami Sunda Channel before reaching Jakarta with a decreased wave height. Hazards There are approximately 150 volcanoes in Indonesia, 80 of which are active. Mount (disasters) in pilot Kiaraberes-Gagak, Mount Salak, Mount Gede, Mount Tangkuban Perahu, and others are areas: within a 100 km range of the pilot areas. Volcanoes Mount Krakatau, which erupted in 1883 as the second largest eruption in the history of Indonesia, is located about 170 km west of the pilot areas. Mount Merapi, which has erupted repeatedly throughout history and also has been active in recent years, is located about 350 km east, and Mount Kelut is located about 570 km east of the pilot areas. Mount Galunggung, which erupted in 1982 and caused economic damage of 160 million dollars (0.12 % of GDP), is located about 120 km southeast of the pilot areas. Industrial clusters There are five industrial parks developed by Japanese-affiliated companies around in pilot areas Karawang and Bekasi. KIIC (Karawang International Industrial City), chosen as the representative industrial park of the pilot areas, is one of them. The outline of KIIC is as follows. Constructed in 1992. (Planned for five stages of construction, with the third completed at present.) Developed by ITOCHU Corporation, and managed by the ITOCHU Group. 114 tenants are currently operating, 95 of which are Japanese-affiliated. Aims to provide a steady supply of electricity through preferential contract with the PLN. ・ PLN substations were built on the site and have no rental costs. Staffs are stationed at the PLN office within the industrial park. (comprehensive transformation contract) ・ The park has a guaranteed electricity supply and is excluded from the list of planned outages. Electricity supply had been insufficient until 2008, causing frequent planned outages. Subsequently, infrastructure was developed to balance supply and demand, stabilizing the electricity supply to industrial parks Industrial water: Taken from the West Tarum Canal and treated in-house at a water treatment facility (30,000 tons/day). Telecommunication: 1,000 lines from PT. Telekom. Natural gas: Direct contracts between the PGN (public gas corporation) and tenants. ii General economic The roads along expressways in Bekasi City, Bekasi Regency and Karawang Regency conditions of pilot are the major base for Japanese-affiliated companies. The speed of economic areas development in Karawang Regency is said to be the fastest in Indonesia. Most of the laborers in this area commute from Jakarta, and these areas form the Jakarta Metropolitan area (JABODETABEK, an acronym for Jakarta, Bogor, Depok, Tangerang and Bekasi). With the benefits of economic development, the minimum wage in Jakarta has increased by 44% from the previous year, reaching the level of a little over 20,000 yen per month. Increased fuel and labor costs have, in part, imposed a heavy burden on labor-intensive industries. Consequently, some companies may start considering relocating to rural areas. However, immediate relocation to other areas is expected to be difficult, because infrastructure development around Jakarta is currently substantial compared to other areas and because Japanese-affiliated companies in particular are concentrated there (eastern Jakarta). According to the latest statistical data from the Statistical Yearbook Indonesia 2012, the regional GDP of West Java Province is 861 trillion Indonesian rupiah (as of 2011), accounting for 11.6 % of the total GDP of Indonesia. This is the third largest following Jakarta Special Province (the first at 13.2 %) and East Java Province (the second at 11.9 %). The growth rate of the regional GDP of West Java Province is 6.48 %, which is higher than the 5.16 % of East Java Province, but short of the 6.71 % of Jakarta Special Province, which also exceeds 6.32 %, the average rate of Indonesia. BCP Various disasters such as earthquakes, volcanoes and floods are expected to occur in dissemination in Indonesia. Companies seem to consider policies on disaster prevention, however, few Indonesia cases are known in which specific plans have been discussed and formulated. Furthermore, general business operators do not understand the concept of BCP. Public lifeline providers have not developed disaster prevention plans or a BCP either. Conversely, large foreign manufacturers and trading companies have established BCPs. The national government has developed disaster prevention strategies/plans at the national level. Disaster prevention systems of companies are expected to comply with the national plans and the urban master plan under development. However, aspects other than natural disasters, such as protests and demonstrations, are taken more seriously for the risk management plans of companies. iii Contents Outline of the Pilot Area Page Chapter 1 Disaster Risks of the Pilot Area ........................................................................... 1-1 1.1 Overview ...................................................................................................................... 1-1 1.2 Identification of Predominant Hazards ...................................................................... 1-1 1.3 Disaster Risk for Floods ..............................................................................................1-7 1.4 Hazard and Risk Information Sources ....................................................................... 1-7 Chapter 2 Natural Hazards in the Pilot Area ....................................................................... 2-1 2.1 Floods ........................................................................................................................... 2-1 2.2 Typhoons/Hydrometeorology ....................................................................................... 2-2 2.3 Storm

    THE INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF BUSINESS REVIEW (THE JOBS REVIEW), 2 (2), 2019, 107-120 Regional Typology Approach in Education Quality in West Java Based on Agricultural and Non-Agricultural Economic Structure Nenny Hendajany1, Deden Rizal2 1Program Studi Manajemen, Universitas Sangga Buana, Bandung, Indonesia 2Program Studi Keuangan Perbankan, Universitas Sangga Buana, Bandung, Indonesia Abstract. West Java is the province in Indonesia with the highest population and has a location close to the capital. However, the condition of education in West Java is generally still low. This is estimated because there are imbalances between districts / cities. The research objective is to get a clear picture of the condition of education in West Java by using secondary data issued by the Central Statistics Agency. The research method uses descriptive analysis, with analysis tools of regional typology. The division of regional typologies from the two indicators produces four regional terms, namely developed regions, developed regions constrained, potential areas to develop, and disadvantaged areas. Based on the indicators of education quality and life expectancy in 2017, from 27 municipal districts in West Java there were 33.3% in developed regions, 18.52% in developed regions were constrained, 7.4% in potential developing regions, and 40.74 % in disadvantaged areas. Bandung and Bekasi regencies are included in developed regions. While the cities of Banjar and Tasikmalaya include potential developing regions. Regional division with three indicators, namely the average length of school, Location Quation, and life expectancy. This division produces three filled quadrants. Quadrant I has 29.6%, quadrant III has 18.5%, and the remaining 51.9% is in quadrant IV.

    Advances in Engineering Research, volume 198 International Seminar of Science and Applied Technology (ISSAT 2020) Study of Hydraulic Models in the Compilation of Alternative Management of Purbaleunyi Toll Road Inundation (+ STA 131) Ahmad Salim Muttaqin1, Djuwadi2,* and Bambang S. Budianto2 1Applied Infrastructure Post Graduate Program, Politeknik Negeri Bandung, Indonesia 2Department of Civil Engineering, Politeknik Negeri Bandung, Indonesia *Corresponding author. Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT Toll roads are currently one of the supporting factors for economic growth. So that if the function is slightly disturbed, obstacles will arise, which will hamper vehicle's journey using the toll road. Many factors hinder this toll road. One of the traffic obstacles is a flood disaster. Floods are also one of the biggest natural disasters in Indonesia. This study aims to calculate and assess the extent of flooding, which will impact toll roads. So that it can determine the impact and how to handle it. Applying the ten years returned rainfall periods, HEC_RAS simulation shows that the flood inundation area is 176.636,69 m2, including toll road areas. The hydraulic simulation also indicates that the flood inundation area can be reduced by adding two 3.5 x 4 meter Box Culvert, while to minimize the traffic disturbance during the construction period, it is recommended to apply microtunneling method. Keywords: Flood, Toll Road, HEC-RAS, Microtunnel. 1. INTRODUCTION decrease. Meanwhile, floods are also one of the most common natural disasters in Indonesia. Transportation is economic support for a region [1]. The road is one of the supports for the smooth operation Floods on toll roads also occur frequently in of land transportation.

  • From Water Buffaloes to Motorcycles: the Development of Large-Scale
    Southeast Asian Studies, Vol. 49, No. 2, September 2011 From Water Buffaloes to Motorcycles: The Development of Large-scale Industrial Estates and Their Socio-spatial Impact on the Surrounding Villages in Karawang Regency, West Java ARAI Kenichiro* Abstract This paper examines the impact of industrial estates on surrounding villages in Karawang Regency, West Java, Indonesia. A few large industrial estates have been in operation since the latter part of the 1990s, with hundreds of tenants, mainly auto manufacturers and related component suppliers. The rapid inflow of industry and decrease of agriculture-related jobs have prompted villagers to look for jobs in the indus- trial estates. However, there is a significant mismatch between the average educational and skill levels of the villagers and those required by companies in the estates. Competition with a growing number of immigrants with higher educational or skill levels has made it difficult for local villagers to obtain jobs in industry, while newcomers with a more secure job status are forming a new socioeconomic order outside the existing village settlements. The study also found that recruitment of regular staff had decreased rapidly since the introduction of a new labor law in 2003. Widespread use of fixed-term contracts and temporary agency workers has made jobs in industrial estates fragile and short-term. This gives companies flexibility of employment but at the same time is producing a growing pool of disenchanted and frustrated village youths in the surrounding environment. Further assistance to the villagers is desirable—not only for their sake but also for local government and industry if they hope for a long-term peaceful and conducive business environment.

  • An Assessment of Economic and Financial Impacts of Jakarta-Bandung High-Speed Railway Project
    PISSN-26852004 An Assessment of Economic and Financial Impacts of Jakarta-Bandung High-Speed Railway Project An Assessment of Economic and Financial Impacts of Jakarta-Bandung High-Speed Railway Project Siddhartha Nath and Gusti Raganata1 1(University of Tokyo, Japan) *corresponding author : [email protected] Abstract In this paper, we assess the economic and financial impacts of the proposed Jakarta-Bandung high speed railway project. Our assessment following Zou et. al. (2018) suggests that, over the long run, the project may increase the combined income of Jakarta, the neighbouring province Karawang and the country’s major industrial centre Bandung, by an estimated 12-18%, by increasing ‘market access’, by the firms in the region, under several assumptions. We estimated that the project will increase Indonesian real GDP by almost 0.4%, mostly during its construction phase, with certain assumptions on the returns to capital. On the other hand, although the project is expected to generate over 40,000 jobs in Indonesia, according to several sources, the project may entail an immediate loss of over 2,000 traditional jobs around the track. In addition, Transit Oriented Development plans, such as tourist spot in Walini, residential complex around the project site etc. are likely to affect community farming and water supply in the region. Therefore, we assessed that, the success of the project is subjected to several legal and institutional barriers including ongoing issues related to the land acquisition. The sluggish progress of the project exerts financial risk to the stakeholders, especially since the project has no ‘guarantee’ from the Indonesian government.
