Some of the remote villages have not yet been reached and therefore the balance could become worst. ● Several discussions are ongoing in the International Community on the Tsunami Early Warning System that either did not work or was however unable to save lives. BMKG provided details on the system working conditions but some of the choices still need some clarification. ● There is not yet a clear general overview of the Tsunami impact occurred in the area; two cities are largely mentioned in the media (Palu and Donggala) but a clear extended mapping is still ongoing. Copernicus and International Charter have been activated and are providing important information on this point.

  • The Effectiveness of Customary Law to Protect Natural Resources in the National Park in Central Sulawesi
    Turkish Journal of Computer and Mathematics Education Vol.12 No.3 (2021), 1191-1199 Research Article The Effectiveness of Customary Law to Protect Natural Resources in The National Park in Central Sulawesi Agus Lanini1, S. Yodo2 1,2Tadulako University, Bumi Tadulako Tondo Campus, Jl. Sukarno Hatta Km.9 Palu, Sulawesi Tengah, Indonesia [email protected]; [email protected] Article History: Received: 10 November 2020; Revised: 12 January 2021; Accepted: 27 January 2021; Published online: 05 April 2021 Abstract: Most of the local communities living around the forest fulfil their daily needs, depending on the forest resources, but the government and even global policy have enacted the forest as a protected area or national park. The purpose of this research is to understand and explain the principles of customary law concerning the natural resources that exist in the national park, and to determine the effectiveness of customary law in protecting these natural resources. The research method applied to explore community values and attitudes is socio-legal. The research revealed society's habits through exploration, and norms and the rule of law are embraced. Some principles of customary law on natural resources include palia (taboo) and ombo (prohibition) pertinent to natural resource conservation. Both of these principles are adhered to and have been hereditary. The values on utilising natural resources are still complied with (effective), although state law takes a formal approach for any infringement surrounding the national park. However, customary law principles still always need to be a source for environmental or related law. Keywords: Customary Law; Natural Resources; Effectiveness; National Park 1.

    International Journal of Innovation, Creativity and Change. www.ijicc.net Volume 9, Issue 9, 2019 The Impact of Total Factor Productivity and Spatial Dependence on Per Capita Income Convergence Agus Sumana, Devantob, Rachmad Kresnac, Nurjanna Ladjind*, a,b,c,dFaculty of Economics and Business, Universitas Brawijaya, Indonesia, Email: d*[email protected] This study aims to analyse the spatial dependence on the convergence of per capita regency/city income in Central Sulawesi Province in the period 2007–17. Total factor productivity (TFP) is related to the existence of a knowledge gap between developed and underdeveloped regions. Unsurprisingly, the underdeveloped regions want to catch up with the developed regions. The analysis used in this study was the Spatial Durbin Model. The results of the study showed that there was a gap in regencies/cities because of poor connections among those in the local area. A highly competitive character disadvantaged lower competitors. This resulted in divergence, meaning no regional spillover occurred. The regional economic priority improvement mostly related to the regencies/cities in quadrant III and showed low economic improvement through the regional connection, which had a highly competitive character, human resources improvement, knowledge and technology, investment, infrastructure provision and strengthening regional economic activities. Key words: Spatial dependence, convergence of per capita income, Spatial Durbin Model. Introduction Inequality of development among regions is normal at the beginning of the development process, particularly in the eastern part of Indonesia. The different rates of economic growth among regions can also be due to regional economic activity concentration, investment allocation, mobility level of production factors among regions, different natural resources, different geographical conditions among regions, and less effective trade between provinces due to inadequate infrastructure (Tambunan, 2011).

Klamono-Sorong, KM. 17, Klablim, Sorong 98417, West Papua e-mail: [email protected] Abstract: Based on the ethnic division of the population, Central Sulawesi Province consists of 12 ethnics groups “original,” and many tribal immigrants such as Bugis, Makassar, Java, Bali, and other tribes that have implications for the differentiation of indigenous communities and immigrant communities. The diversity of the tribes is also accompanied by the diversity of their historical background, religion, and culture which might cause friction one another. Based on the existing historical reality, it is showed that the Central Sulawesi region is often hit by ethnic, economic, and religious violences with different intensity. If the diversity among the people of Central Sulawesi is not properly managed, it can lead to disintegration. This article would identify the existence of the plural society in Central Sulawesi and try to formulate the integration efforts of the people of Central Sulawesi. Abstrak: Mengumpul yang Berserak: Pluralisme, Religiositas, dan Integrasi Masyarakat Sulawesi Tengah.

  • Farmer's Behavior Towards Lembah Palu Shallot Farm Risks in Central
    EurAsian Journal of BioSciences Eurasia J Biosci 13, 931-936 (2019) Farmer’s behavior towards Lembah Palu shallot farm risks in Central Sulawesi, Indonesia Erny 1*, Dwidjono Hadi Darwanto 2, Masyhuri 2, Lestari Rahayu Waluyati 2 1 Department of Agribusiness, Agriculture Faculty of Tadulako University, Campus Tondo, Jln. Soekarno Hatta Km. 9, Palu-Central Sulawesi, INDONESIA 2 Department of Agriculture Economics, Agriculture Faculty of Gadjah Mada University, Jln Flora, Bulaksumur, Yogyakarta, INDONESIA *Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract The land in Central Sulawesi, particularly in Sigi Regency, is still quite large to cultivate shallots. With suitable rainfall and temperature as well as adequate facilities and infrastructure, the variety of shallots planted by farmers in Sigi Regency is Lembah Palu variety (local). Lembah Palu shallots are suitable to be processed as fried shallots because, in addition to having distinctive aroma and taste, they remain dry/crispy although stored for a long time. With such potential, it is necessary to make efforts to increase Lembah Palu shallot production. In fact, low production and quality of farm yields have made it difficult to gain maximum profits. In addition to considering the profits to gain, farmers also pay attention to any potential farm risks. (A high production risk will affect farmers’ behavior in decision making). This study aimed to reveal farmers’ behavior towards Lembah Palu shallot farm risks. The study was conducted in February to May 2018 at the center of Lembah Palu shallot production in Sigi Regency. The data analysis was done using a quantitative descriptive approach. Production risk was analyzed using multiple linear regressions with Cobb-Douglas production function as well as Just and Pope production function; Farmers’ behavior was analyzed using Khumbakar mathematical model.

Abstract – Cocoa is the leading commodity of the plantation in Central Sulawesi Province, Indonesia. Cocoa diseases infestation and low access of farmers to capital and limited partnership between entrepreneurs or industries with farmers make farming less developed. The development of cocoa commodities seems to involve improving the competence, capacity, and interdependence of farmers. This study aims to analyze the factors that influence the interdependence of cocoa farmers in Central Sulawesi Province. The study used survey design, location were Donggala Regency of North Region, Sigi Regency of West Region, Poso Regency of Central Region and North Morowali Regency of Southeast Region. The sample was taken through proportionally cluster random sampling of 380 respondent. Sampel data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). Research results show that farmers' competence in weak, due to the weak role of extension workers, lack of innovation availability and low formal education of farmers. The capacity of farmers is weak in organizing and in adapting to the environment due to the low competence of farmers. Low farmer interdependence due to the low capacity of farmers and low interdependence of farmers leads to low production and income.
