  • Primates of the Southern Mentawai Islands
    Primate Conservation 2018 (32): 193-203 The Status of Primates in the Southern Mentawai Islands, Indonesia Ahmad Yanuar1 and Jatna Supriatna2 1Department of Biology and Post-graduate Program in Biology Conservation, Tropical Biodiversity Conservation Center- Universitas Nasional, Jl. RM. Harsono, Jakarta, Indonesia 2Department of Biology, FMIPA and Research Center for Climate Change, University of Indonesia, Depok, Indonesia Abstract: Populations of the primates native to the Mentawai Islands—Kloss’ gibbon Hylobates klossii, the Mentawai langur Presbytis potenziani, the Mentawai pig-tailed macaque Macaca pagensis, and the snub-nosed pig-tailed monkey Simias con- color—persist in disturbed and undisturbed forests and forest patches in Sipora, North Pagai and South Pagai. We used the line-transect method to survey primates in Sipora and the Pagai Islands and estimate their population densities. We walked 157.5 km and 185.6 km of line transects on Sipora and on the Pagai Islands, respectively, and obtained 93 sightings on Sipora and 109 sightings on the Pagai Islands. On Sipora, we estimated population densities for H. klossii, P. potenziani, and S. concolor in an area of 9.5 km², and M. pagensis in an area of 12.6 km². On the Pagai Islands, we estimated the population densities of the four primates in an area of 11.1 km². Simias concolor was found to have the lowest group densities on Sipora, whilst P. potenziani had the highest group densities. On the Pagai Islands, H. klossii was the least abundant and M. pagensis had the highest group densities. Primate populations, notably of the snub-nosed pig-tailed monkey and Kloss’ gibbon, are reduced and threatened on the southern Mentawai Islands.

  • Traditional Transport Tools As Supporters of the Regional
    SHS Web of Conferences 86, 01048 (2020) https://doi.org/10.1051/shsconf/20208601048 ICORE 2019 Traditional Transport Tools as Supporters of the Regional Economy through Tourism and Culture Activities E R Gultom1 1Law Faculty, Trisakti Jakarta university Abstract. Some regions in Indonesia such as West Sumatra, Yogyakarta, Jakarta and other regions, often found traditional Bendi transportation which is used to transport people or goods from one place to the agreed destination. Apart from functioning as a public transportation tool, Bendi also has an important role in tourism, which is used around to transport tourists both from within and outside the country. The activity carried out by Bendi can increase the income of the local people who use Bendi as a regional tourism promotion tool. How is the existence of a Traditional Transport Tool in the midst of modern transportation in Indonesia?; How is this traditional Bendi transport regulated in Indonesia's national regulations? and What is the support of traditional Bendi transportation for regional economic development where its position is as a means of transportation? Is the subject matter in writing this paper. The research method used is normative, using secondary data and primary data as supporters, through interviews with some observers of traditional transport equipment. Then it will be analyzed descriptively. The conclusion obtained is that in a certain area, there are provisions for regional regulations that regulate the existence of these Bendi traditional transportation equipment, such as in the Yogyakarta area. Traditional Bendi transportation support as a supporter of the regional economy through tourism activities is very large, such as those found in the Yogyakarta area, where Bendi is always there to surround tourist areas that deliver domestic and foreign tourists in visiting tourist areas, as well as in West Sumatra , Padang, Bendi still exists even though it is rare, but it is still used as a tourism and cultural transport tool.

    Characterization of Diverse Megathrust Fault Behavior Related to Seismic Supercycles, Mentawai Islands, Sumatra Thesis by Belle Philibosian In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy CALIFORNIA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY Pasadena, California 2013 (Defended May 29th, 2013) ii 2013 Belle Philibosian All Rights Reserved iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The pronoun “we” is used throughout this thesis rather than “I” as a reflection of the contributions of many people to my results. The published papers that have come and will come from my thesis always have a long list of co-authors. First and foremost I would like to thank my two advisors Kerry Sieh and Jean-Philippe Avouac for their vital insight, inspiration, and unwavering support. The other members of my thesis committee, Paul Asimow, Joann Stock, and Mark Simons have also provided a great deal of helpful guidance along the way. Danny Hilman Natawidjaja made vital contributions by providing the raw data from his previous work as well as assisting with field work and logistics. This project would not have been possible without the excellent field and logistics support from my Indonesian colleagues Mudrik R. Daryono, Bambang W. Suwargadi, Dudi Prayudi, and Imam Suprihanto, and all the crew members of the K.M. Andalas. All of the uranium-thorium dating was performed by Hong-Wei Chiang, Chung-Che Wu, and Ke (Coco) Lin under the guidance of Chuan-Chou “River” Shen at the HISPEC Laboratory at the National Taiwan University; thanks to all of them for taking time out of their own projects to process my samples and discuss the trials and tribulations of age- dating corals.

In addition to caus- ing hundreds of deaths, the earthquake and tsunami forced thousands of families to flee to evacuation centers, where many arrived without food, blankets, cooking supplies, or other basic necessities. Responders quickly discovered that the geographic remoteness and poor transportation infrastructure of the Mentawai Islands presented significant logistical challenges in providing relief supplies to those in need. In response to these challenges, USAID supported the International Organization for Migration (IOM) to provide transportation and logistics assistance. With funding from USAID, IOM established a transportation pipeline between the port city of Padang, West Sumatra, and the North Pagai Island town of Sikakap, separated by 125 miles of sea. IOM secured local cargo boats to transport commodi- ties between Padang and Sikakap. In addition, IOM estab- lished a system using smaller cargo boats, trucks, and all- terrain vehicles equipped with trailers to transfer commodities from Sikakap to locations throughout the Mentawai Islands. In USAID partner IOM overcame the six months following the tsunami, IOM transported nearly logistical challenges, poor 2,100 metric tons of emergency relief commodities for 71 relief infrastructure, and adverse organizations, including via 150 boat trips between Padang and Sikakap and nearly 840 trips by land.

  • Developing Web-Based and Mobile-Based GIS for Places of Worship Information to Support Halal Tourism: a Case Study in Bukittinggi, Indonesia
    International Journal of Geo-Information Case Report Developing Web-Based and Mobile-Based GIS for Places of Worship Information to Support Halal Tourism: A Case Study in Bukittinggi, Indonesia Surya Afnarius * , Fajril Akbar and Fitri Yuliani Department of Information System, Andalas University, Padang 25166, Indonesia; [email protected] (F.A.); [email protected] (F.Y.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +62-896-1486-6918 Received: 23 November 2019; Accepted: 13 January 2020; Published: 16 January 2020 Abstract: Indonesia is an archipelago country in which the tourism sector plays a role as an economic locomotive. In 2016, Indonesia joined the World Halal Tourism Award (WHTA) and won 12 awards, three of which were won by West Sumatra. Bukittinggi is the principal city of tourism in West Sumatra. There are many halal hotels and restaurants and 190 mosques available in the city. Unfortunately, the information regarding the mosque locations is still inadequate. For this reason, this research was conducted in order to develop a web-based and mobile-based geographic information system (GIS) for places of worship information (GPWI) to make it easier for Muslim tourists to find mosques, and other tourism objects and facilities. This paper reports on the development of the GPWI. The development of the GPWI employed the waterfall method. The GPWI allowed tourists to find mosques based on specific criteria, whose output showed them the location, information, route, and local transportation available to get to the mosques as well as other tourism objects and facilities around the mosque. The GPWI was developed using Free Open Source Software (FOSS) PostgreSQL/PostGIS, PHP, JavaScript, and Basic4Android.
