Mekarsari Citizens Won Lawsuit to Ban Steam Power Plant Permit at Indramayu, West Java The peoples of Mekarsari village submitted a lawsuit to express objection against the establishment of steam power plant at Indramayu capacitated for 2 x 1,000 MW. LBH Bandung (Bandung Legal Aid Institute) is the lawyer representing the people of Mekarsari. Aside that the power plant environmental permit was granted in violation of existing regulations, the objection of the people is based on environmental protection that the plant will destroy their livelihood and pollute the environment. The object of the lawsuit was the Decree of Indramayu Regent No. 660/Kep.51.A-BLH/2015 on Environmental Permit of Indramayu Coal-fired Steam Power Plant Development Activity at 2 x 1000 MW for PT. PLN (Persero) Development Unit VIII at Indramayu regency, West Java dated 26 May 2015. On 6 December 2017 the State Administration Court of Bandung read their judgment No. 90/G/LH/2017/PTUN.BDG which stated, among others: 1. Declare that the object of lawsuit, Indramayu Regent Decree Nomor: 660/Kep.51.A-BLH/2015 on Environmental Permit of Indramayu Steam Power Plant Development Activity at 2 x 1000 MW for PT. PLN (Persero) Development Unit VIII at Indramayu regency, as illegitimate. 2. Order the Regent of Indramayu to revoke the Decree. The Assembly of Judges considered that the Environmental Permit issued by the Regent is not his authority but the Integrated Service Centre and Capital Investment Agency (DPMPTSP) of the Indramayu Regency. Moreover, the development of the power plant’s jetty will be done on the coastline approximately 800 meters which is under the authority of West Java Province Government. Building the jetty on the coastline would violates Article 27 paragraph (1) and (3) of the Law on Provincial Government and its annex which stipulate that the usage of coastline under 12 miles is categorised as maritime issue under the authority of provincial government. Therefore the Decree on the Environmental Permit for the Steam Power Plant is illegitimate. The decision is crucial and shall be a precedent for the people whose lives are destroyed for development interest. It is an imbalance trade off, peoples’ lives for a development policy. The judgment of the assembly of the judges is a warning for Jokowi to review mega-scale projects in West Java since they are potentially harming the peoples and their livelihoods. Contact Person: 1.

THE INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF BUSINESS REVIEW (THE JOBS REVIEW), 2 (2), 2019, 107-120 Regional Typology Approach in Education Quality in West Java Based on Agricultural and Non-Agricultural Economic Structure Nenny Hendajany1, Deden Rizal2 1Program Studi Manajemen, Universitas Sangga Buana, Bandung, Indonesia 2Program Studi Keuangan Perbankan, Universitas Sangga Buana, Bandung, Indonesia Abstract. West Java is the province in Indonesia with the highest population and has a location close to the capital. However, the condition of education in West Java is generally still low. This is estimated because there are imbalances between districts / cities. The research objective is to get a clear picture of the condition of education in West Java by using secondary data issued by the Central Statistics Agency. The research method uses descriptive analysis, with analysis tools of regional typology. The division of regional typologies from the two indicators produces four regional terms, namely developed regions, developed regions constrained, potential areas to develop, and disadvantaged areas. Based on the indicators of education quality and life expectancy in 2017, from 27 municipal districts in West Java there were 33.3% in developed regions, 18.52% in developed regions were constrained, 7.4% in potential developing regions, and 40.74 % in disadvantaged areas. Bandung and Bekasi regencies are included in developed regions. While the cities of Banjar and Tasikmalaya include potential developing regions. Regional division with three indicators, namely the average length of school, Location Quation, and life expectancy. This division produces three filled quadrants.

S. Shigeru The pangreh praja in Java under Japanese military rule In: Bijdragen tot de Taal-, Land- en Volkenkunde, Japan, Indonesia and the WarMyths and realities 152 (1996), no: 4, Leiden, 586-608 This PDF-file was downloaded from http://www.kitlv-journals.nl Downloaded from Brill.com09/29/2021 07:48:34AM via free access SATO SHIGERU The pangreh praja in Java under Japanese military rule After occupying Java the Japanese military attempted to redirect the human and the natura1 resources of Java into their own war effort. In so doing, they heavily relied on the local administrative corps, the pangreh praja (literally: the rulers of the realm). Therefore the Japanese, the pangreh praja and the peasantry are arguably the most important groups that should be studied if we are to understand the impact of the Japanese occupation on Javanese society. Though there is a strong case for this, these groups are among the least scrutinized. Scholarly attention over the past fifty years has been primarily directed elsewhere: Hany Benda studied the Islamic elite; George Kanahele the nationalist intellectuals; Benedict Anderson the politicized youths; and Nugroho Notosusanto the self- defence forces.1 These groups attracted scholarly attention because they either spearheaded changes along nationalistic lines or had the clear potential to do so. The Islamic and the nationalist elites were exponents of powerful ideologies, whereas the youths and the Peta soldiers contributed a great deal to the physical revolution that followed in the wake of the Japanese occupation. In contrast, the pangreh praja and the peasantry are usually considered conservative.

An Analysis of Gendered Labor Migration: the Case of Indramayu Regency, West Java Province, Indonesia
Summary of Doctoral Dissertation An Analysis of Gendered Labor Migration: The Case of Indramayu Regency, West Java Province, Indonesia TITAN Listiani* Indonesia is a major source of migrant labor in Southeast Asia. In the late 1970s, the Indonesian government began actively exporting workers overseas as one strategy to address poverty, reduce unemployment, generate foreign exchange, and foster growth. Indonesian labor migration is characterized by a high number of female migrant laborers employed as domestic workers on a contract basis. The high demand for domestic workers in Middle Eastern countries and some industrialized countries in Asia, as well as the abundant domestic supply of labor, have spurred labor migration from Indonesia. This supply and demand relationship, along with the migration policies of the sending and receiving countries, has sustained a continuous flow of migration. However, the absence of females from their families, especially mothers, may have a negative impact on children, as women have traditionally been the primary caregivers in child rearing. Despite this potential for a negative impact and the demand within patriarchal society for females to stay at home, economic pressures have induced women to join international labor migration. This study analyzes the determining factors behind gendered migration, female circular migration and the impact of migration on children who have been left behind. The study begins by examining the household characteristics that influence the decision to choose female over male family members to participate in labor migration. Due to the high prevalence of female circular migration, this study also analyzes the determining factors and characteristics of circular migration. Finally, this study examines the impact of gendered migration on the growth of migrants’ children.
