    CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 General Overview of Research Object 1.1.1 Light Rail Transit Figure 1.1 LRT Source : www.kabar3.com The Palembang Light Rail Transit (Palembang LRT) is an operational light rail transit system in Palembang, Indonesia which connects Sultan Mahmud Badaruddin II International Airport and Jakabaring Sports City. Starting construction in 2015, the project was built to facilitate the 2018 Asian Games and was completed in mid-2018, just a few months before the event. Costing Rp 10.9 trillion for construction, the system is the first operational light rail transit system in Indonesia, and utilizes trains made by local manufacturer PT.INKA. The system's only line has a total of 13 stations (6 operational). As Palembang was to host the 2018 Asian Games, the project was pushed to be completed before the event began. Groundbreaking for the project occurred on 1 November 2015, with state-owned company Waskita Karya being appointed as the primary contractor following the issuance of Presidential Regulation 116 of 2015 on Acceleration of Railway Train Operation in South Sumatera Province. The contract, which was signed in February 2017, was initially valued at Rp 12.5 trillion. Construction was scheduled for completion in February 2018, with commercial service beginning in May 2018. However, the completion date was moved to June 2018 with operations beginning in July, only one month before the Asian Games. A test run was done on 22 May 2018 and was inaugurated by President Joko Widodo on 15 July 2018. Operations for the LRT started on 1 August, several days before the Jakarta LRT began running, making it the first operational LRT system in the country.

    Urban Rail in Jakarta and Jabodetabek (With Thanks to Fagra Hanif for Supporting Information)

    Urban Rail in Jakarta and Jabodetabek (with thanks to Fagra Hanif for supporting information) Context Jakarta and the strategic metropolitan area known as Jabodetabek (Jakarta and the neighbouring municipalities of Bogor, Depok, Tangerang and Bekasi) has a population of 28mil (10mil Jakarta proper). This region has urban rail heritage, with the original suburban rail infrastructure dating from the early 20th century, during the Dutch colonial period (BOS -Batavia Ooster Spoorweg). Following independence, other priorities meant that funding for the network was constrained and this fact, combined with rapid urbanisation, growing prosperity and growth in car ownership, diminished the use and value of urban rail provision whilst also bringing congestion to the ‘over-capacity’ road network. In the late 1970s, the problems caused by underinvestment in the network became evident and since then, a combination of policy changes and increased resources have brought upgrading to the existing suburban network (double tracking, electrification, new rolling stock etc.), some false starts (monorail), and, more latterly, construction of modern ‘metro-type’ lines. With expansion and modernisation there has been much improvement to the urban rail setting in Jakarta and this city/region now has a comprehensive and interesting multi-modal rail footprint with further expansion in construction. Full Metro: Jakarta MRT The first full metro in Indonesia, Jakarta MRT, opened in late March 2019. The line runs from Lebak Bulus (shedding facilities) through the southern suburbs on viaduct to the Blok M shopping area before heading underground after ASEAN and proceeding below Jalan Surdirman and the main commercial area to the busiest station Dukuh Atas (transfer to KRL, Airport Line, TransJakarta BRT and the future LRT).

Six case studies on soil formation in Indonesia are presented, preceded by a general paper commenting on suitability for cultivation and problems of classification, and by a paper on soil classification in Indonesia. The case studies comprised soils on andesitic volcanic material between 100 and 1000 m altitude (West and East Java), on granodiorite (West Kalimantan), on acid volcanic tuffs (West Sumatra), on felsic sedimentary and metamorphic rocks (south-east Sulawesi) and on ultramafic rocks (South-East Sulawesi). Detailed analysis of soils, ranging from Oxic and Typic Dystropepts through Alfisols and Ultisols to Acrorthox and Eutrorthox, are included. Discussions are mainly on soil classification, the use of exchange characteristics and soil genesis. One paper describes mathematical relations between various exchange properties.
