This has drawn greater attention to the region and to the enhanced role it now plays in international relations and global economics. The sustained effort made by Southeast Asian nations since 1967 towards a peaceful and gradual integration of their economies has had indubitable success, and perhaps as a consequence of this, most of these countries are undergoing deep political and social changes domestically and are constructing innovative solutions to meet new international challenges. Big Power tensions continue to be played out in the neighbourhood despite the tradition of neutrality exercised by the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). The Trends in Southeast Asia series acts as a platform for serious analyses by selected authors who are experts in their fields. It is aimed at encouraging policymakers and scholars to contemplate the diversity and dynamism of this exciting region.

Enforcement to protect the environment has often been inadequate on many fronts, exacerbated by population increases. • Though regulations exist for the provision of public amenities like wastewater and sewerage treatment, existing facilities are run-down and ill-equipped to cope with the present demands. • The capacity of reservoirs to meet the present demand for water is also strained because of the large population base, with illegal intrusion and squatters further threatening supplies. • Economic and environmental imperatives can be reconciled if more emphasis and resources are put into enforcing regulations and protecting the environment. 18-J03457 01 Trends_2018-6.indd 7 27/2/18 10:59 AM 18-J03457 01 Trends_2018-6.indd 8 27/2/18 10:59 AM Reconciling Economic and Environmental Imperatives in Batam By Lee Poh Onn1 INTRODUCTION Batam’s economic growth has been nothing short of spectacular. In the 1990s, it experienced an investment boom fuelled by investments from Singapore. This lasted for two decades and transformed the economy and landscape of what was an outpost into a place with a major industrial city of over 1 million inhabitants. This impressive pace of development has often been accompanied by a marked degradation of the natural environment. Mangrove areas have rapidly disappeared, floods have occurred around the city because of erosion caused by land clearing; illegal squatter settlements have intruded into protected forests, and toxic substances from the offshore cleaning of ships have affected the quality of Batam’s coastal waters. But all is not lost. Economic and environmental imperatives can be reconciled if Batam’s development trajectory takes into account the impact of economic growth on the environment. Sustainable development is not impossible.2 1 Lee Poh Onn is Senior Fellow at ISEAS – Yusof Ishak Institute, Singapore. The author would like to thank Ulla Fionna, Francis E. Hutchinson and Siwage Dharma Negara for their guidance, and Jason Salim and Amoz Hor for translating text gathered from his interview questionnaires in Batam. Thanks also goes to Francis E. Hutchinson and Serina Rahman for very useful feedback on an earlier version of this paper, to Ooi Kee Beng for editing, and to Benjamin Hu for producing the maps on Batam. 2 A.A. Hezri and S.R. Dovers, “Shifting the Policy Goal from Environment to Sustainable Development”, in Malaysia’s Development Challenges: Graduating from the Middle, edited by Hal Hill, Tham Siew Yean and Ragayah Mat Zin (London and New York: Routledge, 2012), p. 277. 1 18-J03457 01 Trends_2018-6.indd 1 27/2/18 10:59 AM Negative environmental impacts have to be controlled by regulations and by proper enforcement. The institutional framework (regulations and property rights) plays a central role to ensure that negative environmental impacts are accounted for and minimized. Problems generally arise from either an absence of regulations or property rights to regulate the environment or from the absence or lack of enforcement by the relevant authorities. The Riau Islands Province (PRI) is made up of five rural regencies (kabupaten) and two cities or urban municipalities (kota). Batam and Tanjung Pinang are the two cities within PRI, while Bintan, Karimun, Lingga, Anambas and Natuna form the five regencies.3 Batam Island’s land area totals 415 km2 (41,500 hectares). This paper will examine the various manifestations and causes of environmental degradation against the backdrop of economic transformation, population growth and enforcement (or lack thereof). It also provides a comprehensive update where possible of the present state of environmental affairs in the municipality, and the challenges involved in maintaining the carrying capacity of the environment to cope with development. Following a discussion of the methodology used in this study, the next section will examine the impact of government policies on economic transformation, and of migration on population growth. Regulations and enforcement measures are then discussed in general, followed by an examination of Batam’s environmental management challenges across many fronts. These include industrial pollution (electronics industry); shipyards and pollution; cut and fill and land reclamation; general wastes; water pollution in reservoirs; wastewater and sewage treatment; mangroves and conservation; and air pollution emissions. 3 Mulya Amri, “A Periphery Serving Three Cores: Balancing Local, National, and Cross-Border Interests in the Riau Islands”, in The SIJORI Cross-Border Regions: Transnational Politics, Economics, and Culture, edited by Francis E. Hutchinson and Terence Chong (Singapore: ISEAS – Yusof Ishak Institute, 2016), p. 155. 2 18-J03457 01 Trends_2018-6.indd 2 27/2/18 10:59 AM METHODOLOGY The methodology for this study includes site visits, gathering of key informant materials from four interviews, and extracting of information from published primary and secondary sources. Two site visits were conducted in March 2017 and April 2017 primarily to observe and update environmental conditions existing throughout the municipality. This also involved trips to various parts of the island including the fringes of forest areas and reservoirs, and to industrial sites. The first site visit also included discussion with officials at Badan Pengusaha Batam (BP Batam) to understand the present state of economic development and existing challenges faced by development planners.4 The second visit included an informal interview with an academic/activist who shared deep concerns for the natural environment in Batam. This individual highlighted a number of locations in Batam where negative environmental impacts are visible. Besides the two site visits, this study involved separately interviewing four individuals from 16 to 19 November 2016: an academic in the law faculty (17 November), two environmental NGOs (18 and 19 November), and a BAPEDAL5 official (16 November).

One of Indonesia's programs related to the South China Sea is the development of maritime power in the Natuna Border region. Indonesia affirmed its position to maintain the stability of the Natuna border region through strengthening the values of Indonesian nationalism on Natuna Island in the midst of a growing flow of conflict in the South China Sea. The results of the study found that: (1)the Indonesian paradigm in seeing the South China Sea conflict was understood through observing and strengthening social, economic and security structures on the Natuna border, (2)the values of Indonesian nationalism on the Natuna border after the South China Sea conflict persisted strong and increasing, and (3)Indonesia has a very significant role in maintaining the values of nationalism for Indonesian citizens in the Natuna Border and surrounding areas through strategic efforts in the form of regular visits and the provision of socialization of the state’s sustainable values by the institution authorities and academics who are experts in the field concerned.

Geologically Riau Islands is located in the topography of the old stadium erosion. The morphology is characterized by smooth hills with convex slopes and alluvial plain consisting of the erosion products. The morphology exhibits the remnants of peneplain that submerged at ca 13,000 BP now forming Sunda Shelf with the average depth of 120 meters. The irregular coast’s line of almost all the islands in Riau Islands characterized the submerged old morphologic stadium. The lithology consists of granites and metasediments. Granites contain various types of economic minerals. The weathered granites produce bauxite, kaolin and quarts sands. The metasediments are generally soft resulting in the formation of valleys suitable for agriculture and settlements due to the availability of surface and subsurface water. Irregular coastal line provide the bays for harbors. The geological potentials to be developed therefore consists of the provision of stable plain and resistance to landslide and earthquake, the bays suitable for various marine industries, granites for building materials, and base metals. The submarine hydrocarbon basins produce oil and gas. Geologically Riau Islands is very unique because it represents the remnants of the peneplain of Jurassic and Cretaceous age of about 63 to 181 years old now becoming the Sunda shelf which is the largest in the world.

  • A Status Report on the Coral Reef at Pulau Durai, Anambas Islands Indonesia
    A STATUS REPORT ON THE CORAL REEF AT PULAU DURAI, ANAMBAS ISLANDS INDONESIA BY CAROL MILNER1, KATHARINE CURRIER1,2, BLAKE KOPCHO1 and ABIGAIL ALLING1 ABSTRACT The coral reefs of the South China Sea surrounding Pulau Durai (located in the Northwest of Indonesia at the Anambas Islands) were surveyed from 22 June to 5 July 2011 to provide baseline data on their biotic composition and condition. At each of four sites around the island, point intercept methodology over two 50 m transects yielded an average benthic cover of 26% live hard coral. The maximum live hard coral cover observed was 47% on the Northern side of the island where fishing boats anchor overnight to seek shelter from the SW Monsoon. The minimum of 3% live hard coral was observed on the West side, which is the inhabited area of the island and where there is the greatest amount of anthropogenic activity. A total of 38 hard coral genera and 115 fish species were recorded across all transects. The average biomass of fish per transect was 2135.5 kg/ha and the populations were mostly comprised of herbivores which correlated with the abundance of dead coral, algae overgrowth, and lack of predator fish. Crown of Thorns sea stars (Acanthaster planci) were present at all sites with a maximum of 15 individuals sighted on both the North and South Shallow transects. In general, damage from anchors and destructive fishing practices have gravely impacted Pulau Durai‟s reefs in the past. Present threats include continued anchoring, over-fishing and a current infestation of Crown of Thorns, which is consuming the remaining health and abundance of living coral.

  • Greenpeace Indonesia Fariz Ruhiyat, Dudi Heryadi, Akim
    PREFACE Andalas Journal of International Studies (AJIS) has been significantly improving this year. The journal has started to gain global recognition since its collaboration with international academicians as a reviewer and an author. Furthermore, the number of article submitted to AJIS is also increasing. This is a small yet meaningful step to attain a world-class academic journal position in international studies as we project AJIS could be a platform to share alternative ideas and concepts for scholars and researchers all across the globe. It has been seven years since the editorial board issued the first publication of AJIS and we are very delighted to release 8th Volume (Number 1) edition for this year. This volume sheds light on several aspects related to environmental diplomacy, Greenpeace’s role in combating pollution in Jakarta, the Korean Wave, the ASEAN Way, the Indian Ocean, the market share of Indonesian palm oil, and human trafficking. The opening article of this edition studies Indonesian strategies in environmental diplomacy through the lens of English school theory. It applies the theoretical framework on the ASEAN Way and Indonesian peat restoration agency as the case studies. The second paper investigates Greenpeace action plans to tackle air pollution problem in Indonesia’s capital, Jakarta. The result of analysis indicates that research and public protest are two primary strategies implemented by Greenpeace. The third article examines the position of South Korean government in regards to the Korean wave movement. It observes the success stories of Korean wave to enter the global market. The fourth paper analyzes the ASEAN Way as a medium to resolve the South China Sea dispute.

Issue: • Stigma and fear are the result of people’s poor knowledge about COVID-19 and how it spreads. This is compounded by the large amount of fake news and false information being generated today. • Some groups face the additional element in that discrimination against them is already there, and COVID-19 has become one more reason to stigmatise them.
