  • Changing Policies Over Timber Supply and Its Potential Impacts to the Furniture Industries of Jepara, Indonesia
    JMHT Vol. XXI, (1): 36-44, April 2015 Scientific Article EISSN: 2089-2063 ISSN: 2087-0469 DOI: 10.7226/jtfm.21.1.36 Changing policies over timber supply and its potential impacts to the furniture industries of Jepara, Indonesia Dodik Ridho Nurrochmat1*, Efi Yuliati Yovi1, Oki Hadiyati2, Muhammad Sidiq3, James Thomas Erbaugh44 1Department of Forest Management, Faculty of Forestry, Bogor Agricultural University, Academic Ring Road, Campus IPB Dramaga, PO Box 168, Bogor, Indonesia 16680 2Ministry of Environment and Forestry of the Republic of Indonesia, Gedung Manggala Wanabakti Block I, 3th Floor Gatot Subroto, Senayan, Jakarta, Indonesia 10270 3CBFM and Agroforestry GIZ BIOCLIME, Jl. Jendral Sudirman Km. 3,5 No 2837 Palembang, Indonesia 4School of Natural Resources and Environment, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, USA Received March 2, 2015/Accepted April 28, 2015 Abstract Though some scholars argue that Indonesian wood furniture industries are in decline, these industries remain a driving force for regional and national economies. Indonesian wood furniture has a long value chain, including: forest farmers, log traders, artisans, and furniture outlets. In Jepara, Central Java, wood furniture industries contain significant regional and historical importance. Jeparanese wood furniture industries demonstrated great resilience during the economic crisis in the late nineties. Although they were previously able to withstand the pressures of economic crisis, the enactment of Minister of Forestry Regulation (MoFor Reg.) 7/2009 on wood allocation for local use -as one of the implementing regulation of Decentralization Law 32/2004- causes a potential reduction of wood supply to Jepara. Since September 30th, 2014, however, the constellation of domestic timber politics has changed due to the new decentralization law (23/2014), which shifted most regulations on forest and forest products from the regency to the province.

  • Economic Inequality and Inter-Island Shipping Policy in Indonesia Until the 1960S
    E3S Web of Conferences 202, 07070 (2020) https://doi.org/10.1051/e3sconf/202020207070 ICENIS 2020 Java and Outer Island: Economic Inequality and Inter-Island Shipping Policy in Indonesia Until the 1960s Haryono Rinardi* Department of History ;Faculty of Humanity; Diponegoro University Abstract. This article tries to explain the relationship between economic inequality in Java and outer Java, also the inter-island shipping policy in Indonesia until the 1960s by using the historical methods. This study proves that the inequality had occurred since the colonial era when the Dutch colonial government focused on developing infrastructure on Java as the center of its government. When withdrawn again, inequality has occurred since pre-colonial times. The inter-island shipping policy that places Java as the center of shipping has increasingly encouraged economic inequality. Keywords: Economic Inequality; Inter-island Shipping; Historical Methods; Java and Outer Java; Colonial Era 1 Introduction Inequality and dichotomy between Java Island and other regions in Indonesia are not only real but visible in terminology. The Colonial Government referred to areas outer Java as Buitenbezittingen and then buitengewesten. [1] Therefore it is not surprising that Clifford Geertz, an anthropologist, distinguishes the interior regions of Central Java and East Java and as Indonesia within. Other areas have referred to as outer Indonesia [2]. Obviously, the two regions have different types. The Indonesian region has culturally influenced by Hindu- Buddhist culture. It can seen from the existence of various temples in the P. Java region. Another influence is the persistence of the presence of cultural arts, which is a relic of Hindu- Buddhist culture in Indonesia, such as the Ramayana and Mahabarata epics.

  • Financial Analysis of Seaweed Cultivation in Karimunjawa Islands, Indonesia Dian Wijayanto, Azis N
    Financial analysis of seaweed cultivation in Karimunjawa Islands, Indonesia Dian Wijayanto, Azis N. Bambang, Ristiawan A. Nugroho, Faik Kurohman Faculty of Fisheries and Marine Science, Diponegoro University, Prof Soedarto SH Street, Semarang, Indonesia, 50275. Corresponding author: D. Wijayanto, [email protected] Abstract. Karimunjawa Islands is one of the conservation areas in Indonesia which has high biodiversity. Conservation support is needed from all stakeholders, including the local community. Without adequate sources of income, the local community has the potential to behave destructively, including logging mangrove trees and damaging coral reefs. One of the environmentally friendly jobs in Karimunjawa Islands is seaweed cultivation, especially in Kemojan Village. The purpose of this research was to make a financial analysis of seaweed (Eucheuma cottonii) farming in Kemojan Village. We conducted a survey of 90 seaweed farmers in Kemojan Village. We calculated profit, RC ratio, CR ratio and BEP (price). This research proved that the seaweed cultivation business in Kemojan Village can be an adequate source of income for the local people of Kemojan Village. The average profit is IDR. 63,749,572 per year, with an RC ratio of 6.04 or CR ratio of 0.17. BEP (price) of seaweed is IDR 248 per kg wet, while the price at the time of the study is IDR 1,500 per kg wet. By increasing the welfare of Kemojan Village people through seaweed cultivation, it is hoped that the local community will increasingly support conservation in Karimunjawa Islands. Key Words: BEP, CR ratio, Eucheuma cottonii, Karimunjawa islands, RC ratio. Introduction. Karimunjawa Islands is one of the conservation areas in Indonesia.

    FINAL REPORT VULNERABILITY AND ADAPTATION ASSESSMENT TO CLIMATE CHANGE IN SEMARANG CITY 2010 i EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In the future, a changing climate brought about by global warming is estimated to create new patterns of risk, and higher risks generally. Sea level rise due to melting glaciers and polar ice and thermal expansion will contribute to the increase of coastal flooding. Semarang as a coastal city will be impacted seriously by climate change and sea level rise. At present, some of coastal areas at Semarang are already inundated due to sea level rise. Floods and drought also occur quite often. Government of Semarang City has implemented various program and also developed medium and long-term strategies to manage hazards. Plan for improving infrastructure for climate hazard control such as drainage system and dike has been prepared (Bappeda, 2007). However, under changing climate with the increasing frequency and intensity of extreme climate events the current design may not be very effective for managing future climate hazards. Therefore it is also very important to consider climate change in designing climate hazard control system. ISET under the Asian Cities Climate Change Resilience Network (ACCCRN) with the support from the Rockefeller Foundation, coordinate a study on vulnerability and adaptation assessment to climate change conducted by MercyCorps, URDI and CCROM SEAP-IPB at Semarang City. The study aims (i) to assess current and future climate variability in Semarang city, (ii) to assess vulnerability and adaptive capacity

Tourism arrival is expected to increase from the current 250 million in 2012 to an estimated 400 million by 2023 based on a 5% compound annual growth rate. An additional 100,000 guestrooms will be required, translating to an estimated 700 to 800 hotels to be built in the next decade, creating tremendous opportunities for developers, investors, financiers, hotel management groups, airlines companies, travel agencies, consultancies and other stakeholders. The concentration of Indonesia's international tourist arrivals still revolves between the nation's capital city Jakarta and the world-renowned destination of Bali. However, there is growing interest in Indonesia's second and third tier markets, with many market players taking note of their massive potential. Stakeholders such as hotel operators, investors, developers and the government sectors are closely following the new investments 'hot spots' of Indonesia. Economy to mid-scale hotel properties are the key target segments for many stakeholders' growth expansion plans in the coming years. Hotel chains such as Accor, InterContinental Hotels Group, as well as Indonesia's domestic hotel groups such as Archipelago International and Tauzia have indicated their intentions of strengthening the presence of their economy to mid-scale brands in such emerging markets.

Prof. dr. J.A. Silk The realisation of this thesis was supported and enabled by the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO), the Gonda Foundation (KNAW) and the Research School of Asian, African and Amerindian Studies (CNWS), Leiden University. 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.
