COLLINS MALAY DIALECT RESEARCH IN MALAYSIA: THE ISSUE OF PERSPECTIVE1 Introduction When European travellers and adventurers began to explore the coasts and islands of Southeast Asia almost five hundred years ago, they found Malay spoken in many of the ports and entrepots of the region. Indeed, today Malay remains an important indigenous language in Malaysia, Indonesia, Brunei, Thailand and Singapore.2 It should not be a surprise, then, that such a widespread and ancient language is characterized by a wealth of diverse 1 Earlier versions of this paper were presented to the English Department of the National University of Singapore (July 22,1987) and to the Persatuan Linguistik Malaysia (July 23, 1987).

Gunung Batu No. 5 Bogor, Indonesia; e-mail: [email protected]; [email protected] Diterima 3 Juni 2014 direvisi 30 Oktober 2014 disetujui 2 Januari 2015 ABSTRACT Most of urban infrastructure development have been increasing while the existing urban forest is inadequate for fulfilling the needs of urban communities. The purpose of this study is to determine the factors affecting the implementation of urban forest in the cities of Medan, Deli Serdang and Palangka Raya. The study used weighing and stakeholder analysis. Weighing is done through ranking of the factors that affect urban forest such as aspects of biophysical, socio-economic, organizational and policy, all based on the perception of the respondents. The results showed that the most influencing factors are scarcity of urban forest land and land disputes. Increasing urban population causes the increasing demand for residential and its supporting facilities, which in turn will reduce urban forest area. On the other hand, forestry policy failed to foster implementation of urban forest because this concept has not been understood by local government as the executor. Another obstacle is the lack of budget and its continuity. Efforts to overcome the scarcity of urban forest land is by optimazing urban forest management through species enrichment and plantings on idle land. Coordination and collaboration among stakeholders are needed in regional planning, budgeting and stipulation of district regulation to reduce the risk of land use conversion.

The European Green Deal is a response to these challenges; it aims to transform the EU into a fair and prosperous society, with a modern, resource-efficient and competitive economy with zero net emissions of greenhouse gases by 2050. Through the Climate Resilient and Inclusive Cities (CRIC) project, the EU and Indonesia are working together to help cities build a resilient and inclusive future. We do so by building partnerships between governments, businesses, local communities and research institutes in Europe, South Asia and Southeast Asia. Clearly, there are hurdles along the way, especially in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, our response to this pandemic needs to be a sustainable one, addressing the challenges of climate change as well as economic recovery. Just last month, in Sukabumi City of West Java Province, a flash flood cost lives and forced hundreds of citizens to leave their houses. According to the Indonesian National Disaster Management Agency, Indonesia is about to experience more hydrometeorological disasters due to climate change. The CRIC Urban Analysis Report is a timely reminder that cities cannot delay their sustainable transition. This Urban Analysis Report for ten Indonesian pilot cities under the CRIC project offers a comprehensive overview of city characteristics, policy gaps and climate-related policies in the cities of Pangkalpinang, Pekanbaru, Bandar Lampung, Cirebon, Banjarmasin, Samarinda, Mataram, Kupang, Gorontalo and Ternate.

    Optimalization of Non-Tax State Revenue for Industrial Ports and Special Terminals

    INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC & TECHNOLOGY RESEARCH VOLUME 10, ISSUE 01, JANUARY 2021 ISSN 2277-8616 Optimalization Of Non-Tax State Revenue For Industrial Ports And Special Terminals Edward Marpaung, Raja Oloan Saut Gurning, Johny Malisan, Feronika Sekar Puriningsih, Wilmar Jonris Siahaan Abstract: The current condition of non-tax state revenues in the marine sector, especially those obtained from industrial ports and special terminals has not been maximized. This paper aims to identify what causes the non-tax state revenues acquisition of industrial ports and special terminals to be less than optimal and to seek policy recommendations that can be implemented to increase the non-tax state revenues. From the results of the analysis, it is found that several current problems are caused by the existence of industrial ports / special terminals which is not active and has not made non-tax state revenues payments, low non-tax state revenues rates on industrial ports and special terminals when compared to state-owned enterprises BUP, the existence of tariff class differentiation, there is no SOP that regulates performance of industrial ports / special terminals and several other problems. From these problems, several policy recommendations were made, such as controlling permits and payments, strengthening harbor-master, adjusting water leases, integrating digital platforms, implementing upper limit rates, intensifying and extending efforts. The policy is mapped based on the risks and implemented gradually over a period of two years starting from the quick wins phase, the short-term phase, the medium-term phase and the long-term phase. Each phase is simulated using dynamic simulation in the form of causal loop to see the projection of the non-tax state revenues.

Riyanton2, Mustasyfa Thabib Kariadi3 {[email protected], [email protected], [email protected]) Faculty of Humanities, Jenderal Soedirman University, Indonesia, Abstract. This research aimed at describing and analyzing the value of local wisdom in Javanese culture contained in Banyumas proverbs. This research was classified into a descriptive qualitative study with ethno-linguistic research approach as the information was carefully described and well analyzed. This research employed a single case study specifically conducted on one characteristic and one target (subject), that is, proverbs in Banyumas Regency. The research data were collected from several informants, and documents using direct participatory observation, interviews, and document analysis using purposive sampling technique. The results of the study showed that Javanese proverbs reflecting behaviors symbolized by the puppet character of Bawor include patient in accepting fate (sabar, nerima), noble (ksatria), agile (cekatan), and frankly speaking (cablaka). Keywords: Proverbs, Local Wisdom 1 Introduction Culture has its own peculiarities and reflects different values of life. Therefore it is normal when talking about a particular community or ethnicity, the first question arises always has to do with their customs, lifestyle, and the way they communicate. This study aims to examine the culture and language domain, especially the local wisdom in the form of knowledge and practices commonly used by the local community to solve problems in a good and correct manner. Culture refers to a set of practices, codes, and values that labels a group. Cultural discussion cannot be separated from the way it is held and communication media cannot be separated from the language position as a medium of expression of human mind reflection.
