The single market will provide an unrestricted flow of goods, services, The AEC will initiate a single market, comprised of the ten member investment, skilled labour and a freer flow of capital between the nations, 48 years after the Association was first agreed by its founder members. Many benefits are promised, including access to a larger members - Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore and Thailand. market and a reduction in trade barriers. This is an incentive to global companies setting up in the area, as well as local enterprises.

Companies in the Region, particularly those of Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand are going international by expanding first across ASEAN borders and then to the rest of Asia and beyond to Europe and the US. ASEAN is firmly set to be at the crossroads of global business in the twenty first century. Singapore is the fourth highest ranked country in the McKinsey Global Institute’s Connectedness Index, which among other measures tracks inflows and outflows of goods, services and finance. Malaysia in 18th place and Thailand in 36th, also rank in the top 50 most connected countries in the Index.

  • Aerodynamic Challenge and Limitation in Long-Span Cable-Supported Bridges
    Keynote Paper Aerodynamic challenge and limitation in long-span cable-supported bridges 1) * Yao-Jun Ge 1) SLDRCE, Tongji University, Shanghai, 200092, China [email protected] ABSTRACT As one of the most formidable challenges on long-span cable-supported bridges, recent advances in wind engineering studies have been presented in the aspects of flutter instability, torsional divergence and stay cable vibration. Successful aerodynamic stabilization for long-span suspension bridges is reviewed, which is followed by current studies of several super long suspension bridges with a main span from 1680m in the 2nd Humen Bridge to 2016m in Sunda Strat Bridge. It seems that the intrinsic limit of span length due to aerodynamic stability is about 1,500m for a traditional suspension bridge, but slotted box deck could provide a 5,000m span length as the aerodynamic limit to a suspension bridge with high enough critical flutter and torsional speed. Since long-span cable-stayed bridge intrinsically has quite good aerodynamic stability based on close-box deck and spatial cables, rain-wind induced vibration and mitigation are discussed as a main aerodynamic challenge. In order to reveal the aerodynamic limit span length two super long cable-stayed bridges, with single 1400m span and double 1500m spans in Qiongzhou Strait Bridge, have been experimentally investigated through sectional and full models in flutter and torsional instability. 1. INTRODUCTION Cable-supported bridge can be defined as a bridge with the deck supported by hangers or cables, which are held up by pylons or main cables, and accordingly divided into two kinds, suspension bridge with greater bridging capacity and cable-stayed bridge.

    REPUBLIC OF INDONESIA MINISTRY OF NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT PLANNING/ NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT PLANNING AGENCY PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS PLAN IN INDONESIA 2013 Jakarta, November 2013 ii PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS PLAN IN INDONESIA FOREWORD BY THE MINISTER OF NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT PLANNING AND HEAD OF NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT PLANNING AGENCY (BAPPENAS) he Government of Indonesia is consistently sustaining the momentum of Public Private Partnership (PPP) development in order to accelerate the provision of infrastructure. The TPPP model has gained increasing in presence since the pronouncement of the Master plan for the Acceleration and Expansion of Indonesia’s Economic Development (MP3EI) in 2011. The MP3EI reiterates the Government of Indonesia’s determination to use the PPPs as one of the keys to financing the country’s economic development. The Government holds a proactive approach and continues to evaluate and strengthen policy in order to support the provision of infrastructure using PPPs. Firstly, through the establishment of the regulatory framework for PPPs, comprising Presidential Regulation 67/2005 on Cooperation between Government and Business Entities in Infrastructure Provision and its subsequent amendments PR 13/2010, PR 56/2011 and PR 66/2013. Secondly, by providing supporting regulations to address major issues affecting the implementation of PPP projects, v.g.Law 2/2012 on land acquisition for public infrastructure projects and Regulation 223/PMK.011/2012 of the Ministry of Finance on the Viability Gap Fund. Bappenas has also updated Ministerial Regulation on PPP Operational Guidelines 4/2010 with Ministerial Regulation 3/2012 to reflect the evolution of the legal framework and to improve the PPP preparation process.

  • Chapter 1 Introduction
    CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background Indonesia is known as an archipelago country, because there are more than 17 thousand islands . Among the several islands there are straits such as the Sunda strait, Malacca strait, Bali strait and many more. The Sunda strait is the strait between the Indonesian islands of Java and Sumatera. It connects the java sea to the indian ocean. The name comes from the indonesian term Pasundan, meaning “West Java”. At narrowest point, the width of the Sunda strait is only about 25 Km.[1] The Sunda strait is also an important shipping lane, because it is one of the main routes from the China Sea to the Indian Ocean. To cross the strait there are two types of transportation that are now being used, namely air transportation and sea transportation. Air transportation uses airplanes while sea transportation uses medium-sized ships or can be called ferries. On these two transportation not only used for passengers, but also used for goods. With increasing eonomic growth on the island of Java and the island of Sumatera, the number of passengers and goods that crossing Sunda strait is also increase . The increasing number of passengers and goods, are too large compare to the capacity of available Airplanes and Ferries , have caused buses and trucks stack up in the port, especially during bad weather or during holiday season. Those condition causes the que time become longer, ferry and flight costs becomes expensive . To overcome those problem or it could be one of the transportation option for crossing , in Sunda Strait the bridge need to be built.

  • Indo-Pacific”: Intellectual Origins and International Visions in Global Contexts
    Modern Intellectual History (2021), 1–27 doi:10.1017/S1479244321000214 ARTICLE The “Indo-Pacific”: Intellectual Origins and International Visions in Global Contexts Hansong Li* Department of Government, Harvard University *Corresponding author. E-mail: [email protected] (Received 20 August 2020; revised 19 October 2020; accepted 16 April 2021) Abstract As the “Indo-Pacific” concept gains currency in public discourses on foreign policy, it remains poorly understood as an idea, due to inadequate surveys of its intellectual origins and international visions in global contexts. This article studies Karl Haushofer’s theory of the “Indo-Pacific” as an organic and integral space primed for political consciousness. Haushofer not only laid the oceanographic foundation of the “Indo-Pacific” with novel evidence in marine sciences, ethnography, and philology, but also legitimated it as a social and political space. Mindful of Germany’s geopolitical predicament in the interwar period and informed by sources in indology and sinology, Haushofer envisaged the political resurrection of South, East, and Southeast Asia against colonial domination, and conceived the “Indo-Pacific” vision for remak- ing the international order. Introduction This paper studies the historical “Indo-Pacific” theory in its academic and political contexts. It traces this concept of oceanic space to the innovations of the German geographer Karl Haushofer (1869–1946). At a time when modern natural and social scientists uncovered new evidence on alternative shapes of the world map, Haushofer politicized oceanography, ethnography, and philology to realign the Indian and Pacific Oceans as an integral space. The purpose of his intervention, however, was to forge an anticolonial vision in British, American, and Western European colonies in South, East, and Southeast Asia, and thus undermine the Western rivals of interwar Germany.

Although no official confirmation has been given on this number but ‘if true’ it would show how the government’s measures to “contain” the virus has not worked which has been stated by doctors a few days ago. https://www.thaienquirer.com/26569/new-restrictions-not-doing-enough- to-stem-third-wave-senior-doctor-says/ A day after former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra said he could procure Sputnik V vaccines from Russia due to his close relationship with Vladimir Putin, incumbent Prime Minister and Defence Minister Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha has come out to announce that his government succeeded in negotiating with Russia in order to import Sputnik V Vaccine directly from Russia. He said the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has got a “yes” from Russia over the matter after the Russian President expressed support for the Thai government on this matter thanks to long diplomatic relations between Thailand and Russia and continued improvements of ties between Russia and the current government. “Our Health Ministry will now urgently talk to the company importing the Sputnik V vaccine on the timeframe for delivery, the amount and price”. At the same time, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Public Health Anutin Charnvirkul revealed the success of negotiations with US-pharmaceutical company Pfizer. He said the company agreed to supply additional 10 million doses of Pfizer/BioNTech Covid-19 vaccine to the Thai government but he cannot specify a definite timeline of the delivery.

Moda of sea transportation for long distances using large ships, while short distances such as crossing the Sunda Strait, Bali Strait, Madura Strait using medium sized ships call Ferry. Ferry besides being used for passenger transportation are also used for goods. In line with the economic growth rate, the number of passengers and goods crossing Sunda Strait both from Java Island to Sumatra Island or vice versa and from Java Island to Bali Island or vice versa, increase. The increasing number of passengers and goods, are too large compare to the capacity of available Ferry, have caused buses and trucks to accumulate in the port, especially during bad weather or during holiday season. Those condition causes the que time become longer and crossing expenses become high. To overcome those problem, like in Madura Strait, in Sunda Strait the bridge need to be built.

This research aims to model the travel pattern based on potential economic due to the sunda strait bridge development plan to support KSN Sunda Strait and Economic Corridors in Lampung. Road network modeling formed for assignment stage, being utilized to predict road traffic in the future. Assignmet process using SATURN as transportation software. The scenario is a road performance analysis after 10 (ten) years using traffic growth and several assumption such as Bakauheni – Babatan – Tegineneng toll road , have functioned and can be used; Sunda Strait Bridge constructed and can be used. The bridge project would help boost the growth of strategic economic area. In order to boost economic development in Sumatera and especially Lampung , the government already has program to build toll roads. Various constraints, such as the preparation of project implementation, land as well as financing, have become barriers that make it difficult for those projects to commence in the planned. Key Words: Modelling Transpotation, Potential Economic, Infrastructure Development INTRODUCTION Lampung Province has a strategic position because the area lies on the edge of the southern part of Sumatera Island, which is the gateway to the island of Sumatera from Jawa Island.
