In order to carry out this assessment it is necessary to have a method to know the environmental condition of the road. In the relation to the roadside environmental problems, the planner should be know the environmental condition of each road section or road side, such as which roadside have bad environmental condition. This is very useful for planning and improving purpose. This paper describes the method of evaluating the environmental condition of road through the comparison of each roadside. To support this evaluating works, the preference analysis method were developed is used to find the designated output. Through this evaluation method, the ranking of roadside in relation to the environmental condition is proposed. The ranking is presented from the roadside with bad environmental condition this micro level presentation is then practicable and enormously useful for further inspire in roadside environmental evaluation.

    Decolonization and the Military: the Case of the Netherlands A Study in Political Reaction Rob Kroes, University of Amsterdam I Introduction *) When taken together, title and subtitle of this paper may seem to suggest, but certainly are not meant to implicate, that only m ilitary circles are apt to engage in right-wing political activism. On the contrary, this paper tries to indicate what specific groups within the armed forces of the Netherlands had an interest in opposing Indonesian independence, and what strategic alliances they engaged in with right- w in g c ivilian circles. In that sense, the subject of the paper is rather “underground” civil-military relations, as they exist alongside the level of institutionalized civil- m ilitary relations. Our analysis starts from a systematic theoretical perspective which, on the one hand, is intended to specify our expectations as to what interest groups within and without the m ilitary tended to align in opposing Indonesian independence and, on the other hand, to broadly characterize the options open to such coalitions for influencing the course of events either in the Netherlands or in the Dutch East Indies. II The theoretical perspective In two separate papers2) a process model of conflict and radicalism has been developed and further specified to serve as a basis for the study of m ilitary intervention in domestic politics. The model, although social-psychological in its emphasis on the *) I want to express my gratitude to the following persons who have been willing to respond to my request to discuss the role of the military during the Indonesian crisis: Messrs.

    DDC: 321.5 MENYIAPKAN SULTAN PEREMPUAN: LEGITIMASI LANGIT DAN EFEKTIVITAS REZIM SULTAN HAMENGKUBUWONO X1 Bayu Dardias Departemen Politik dan Pemerintahan Fakultas Ilmu Sosial dan Ilmu Politik Universitas Gadjah Mada, Yogyakarta Email: [email protected] Diterima: 17-3-2016 Direvisi: 29-3-2016 Disetujui: 4-4-2016 ABSTRACT Sultan Hamengkubuwono (HB) X of Yogyakarta has chosen his eldest daughter as his successor in a traditionally patrilineal Sultanate. This paper discusses the controversy surrounding Sultan HB X’s decision by measuring the impact of his proclamations and orders for the Sultanate’s long-term regime effectiveness. I argue that Sultan HB X’s proclamations and orders based, which were based on mysticism and a sense of divinity, have been ineffectual for maintaining regime effectiveness inside and outside of the Sultanate. Within the Sultanate, the Sultan’s siblings have argued that his decisions contradict the Sultanate’s centuries-long tradition of rules (paugeran). Outside the palace walls, broader society has been divided over Sultan HB X’s choice. One group supports Sultan HB X’s decision, while the other group is determined to hold on firmly to their patriarchal cultural and historical traditions. While Sultan HB X’s proclamations and orders have been ineffectual in maintaining the Sultanate and its influence, his decisions have even brought about an enormous challenge to the survival prospects of the Sultanate itself. Keywords: political legitimation, regime, Sultan Hamengkubuwono, Yogyakarta Sultanate ABSTRAK Pada 2015, Sultan Hamengkubuwono (HB) X mengeluarkan empat kali Sabda dan Dawuh Raja yang berkaitan dengan suksesi kepemimpinan di Kasultanan Yogyakarta.

  • Current Ecumenical Movement and Spirit in Indonesia
    Current Ecumenical Movement and Spirit in Indonesia Jan S. Aritonang1 Preliminary Remarks In September 2008 a new and very comprehensive book on Christianity (including churches) in Indonesia was published. A History of Christianity in Indonesia2 covers a period of almost 500 years, and provides a chapter concerning the presence of [Nestorian] Christianity since the 7th century in a small town at the west coast of Sumatra. One of the 21 chapters concerns the ecumenical movement and spirit in this country (written by the writer of this paper). This paper refers mostly to that chapter. The Nestorian Church of the 7th century was discontinued. The existing Christianity or churches started from early 16th century. The first one is the Roman Catholic that came with the Portuguese-Spanish imperialism. This was followed by the Protestant / Calvinist / Reformed Church brought by the Dutch East Indian trading company (VOC) since early 17th century. The quite fast and fertile growth of the churches (with various confessional identities) was in the 19th and 20th centuries. Currently there are around 24 million Christians (10% of the population). They are scattered or divided into more than 350 denominations or church organizations (324 are registered in the Department of Religious Affairs; around 50 are still queuing for registration). In terms of number of members, the biggest is the Roman Catholic Church with ca. 7 million. Among the non-Catholic churches, the biggest is Gereja Pantekosta di Indonesia (GPdI is a Pentecostal church) with around 4.2 million members and 11.000s local congregations; the second is Huria Kristen Batak Protestan (HKBP, Batak Christian Protestant Church) with around 3.75 million members and 4000 local congregations (covering several congregations overseas: Singapore, Los Angeles, Denver, etc.); the third is Gereja Bethel Indonesia (GBI, also a Pentecostal church) with around 2.5 million members and around 6000 local congregations, including overseas.

Takumansang4 1Mahasiswa S1 Program Studi Perencanaan Wilayah & Kota Universitas Sam Ratulangi Manado 1Staf Pengajar Jurusan Sipil, Universitas Sam Ratulangi Manado 2 &,3Staf Pengajar Jurusan Arsitektur, Universitas Sam Ratulangi Manado Abstrak. Kemacetan di Pasar Karombasan terjadi akibat proses bongkar muat barang, parkir kendaraan dan pedagang yang menggunakan bahu jalan sebagai tempat berjualan. Aktivitas pasar biasanya meningkat pada akhir pekan dimana pedagang berjualan dibadan jalan sementara lokasi jalan di pasar Karombasan merupakan titik temu dua jalur kendaraan dari arah Paal 2 dan Ranotana yang masuk menjadi satu jalur. Sehingga dari permasalahan ini perlu ditinjau pengaruh pasar dengan kinerja jalan yang ada. Dalam menentukan kinerja jalan di pasar tradisional “Karombasan” dilakukan melalui dua metode yaitu dengan metode Manual Kapasitas Jalan Indonesia (MKJI) dan metode Greenshield- Greenberg. Dari hasil penelitian di ruas jalan Arnold Mononutu dan ruas jalan Tolour menurut Manual Kapasitas Jalan Indonesia didapatkan kinerja jalan untuk ruas Arnold Mononutu dan jalan Tolour sama yaitu kategori B (arus stabil, kecepatan kendaraan mulai dibatasi kendaraan lain tetapi masih bisa bermanuver). Kinerja jalan dengan menggunakan metode linier Greenshield didapat nilai R² = 0,832075081, kapasitas/volume maksimum = 866 smp/jam dan kinerja jalan kategori D (arus mulai tidak stabil) untuk ruas jalan Arnold Mononutu dan R² = 0,755526051, volume maksimum 805 smp/jam dan kinerja jalan kategori F (macet, berhenti, antrean) untuk ruas jalan Tolour.
