Plan Indonesia Conducts Rapid Need Assessment to Help the West Sulawesi Earthquake Survivors By: Plan Indonesia Dear Plan Friends, grief has hit Indonesia again. A set of earthquakes has been occurring in the West Sulawesi province since Thursday (14/01). One of the largest earthquakes, with a 6.2 magnitude, struck on Friday (15/01), demolishing buildings and local facilities. Tremors are still being felt today, Monday (18/01), with effects reported in Majene, Mamuju, Mamasa, and Polewali Mandar. A tsunami warning has also been issued, especially for residents of Sulawesi’s western coast. According to The National Disaster Mitigation Agency (BNBP), by Monday, about 485,232 lives are predicted to be affected by this earthquake. Approximately 27,850 people are have been forced to evacuate from their homes, while 73 people lost their lives and 743 people have been injured. Several facilities have also been impacted, with electricity and mobile signals being cut in some areas and three roads demolished in the Majene district. In response to this, the Yayasan Plan International Indonesia (Plan Indonesia) Emergency Response Team has been coordinating closely with local government and partners. We are currently conducting the Rapid Needs Assessment (RNA) in the West Sulawesi province, with the goal to measure the appropriate aid needed by the survivors, especially for children and their families. As an organization that strives for the fulfillment of child rights and equality for girls, Plan Indonesia prioritizes the needs and protection of children and their families in every emergency response. In a situation that forces many to evacuate, children, women, and people with disabilities are susceptible to many threats, more so when proper sanitation, health care, and decent shelters are scarce. The threat to their wellbeing also worsened, especially as there are concerns about the availability of aid and the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. To this effect, Plan Indonesia is trying to work as swiftly as possible with government agencies and partners to determine the most-needed aid of the evacuees over the next couple of days. The goal is to ensure that the children and their families will be able to evacuate safely, with access to decent shelters and proper COVID-19 health protocols. Aside from that, Plan Indonesia also invites you to help and pray for the survivors in West Sulawesi. Let us pray this disaster will soon pass, and may families be reunited quickly and safely. ---- (Note: This announcement will be regularly updated) .

The Holistic Approach in Education Development Programs: Case of Indonesia Mengajar
SEEIJ (Social Economics and Ecology International Journal), 3 (2), Oct 2019, 1-12 E-ISSN 2598-0319 P-ISSN 2581-2246 The Holistic Approach in Education Development Programs: Case of Indonesia Mengajar Adsina Fibra1, Juliana Berewot2 1 Character Building Development Center, Communication Department, Faculty of Computing and Media, Bina Nusantara University, Jakarta 11480, Indonesia 2 Character Building Development Center, Communication Department, Faculty of Computing and Media, Bina Nusantara University, Jakarta 11480, Indonesia Received: September 9th, 2019/ Accepted: September 29th, 2019 Abstract. This paper aims to describe one of sustainable projects of improving education quality in archipelagic nations. Indonesia Mengajar is an Indonesian NGO based in Jakarta which promotes volunteerism by being young educators. Their projects aim to fill the shortage of primary school teachers, especially in remote areas. By sending the best Indonesian university graduates which have been intensively trained to work as teachers for one consecutive year, it was expected they will be able to inspire young people to choose careers as educators. It is a qualitative study on how the organization plans and executes their projects. The findings stimulate further questions on how to solve the issue of quality education in Indonesia. Keywords: holistic approach, quality education, volunteerism, and teacher shortage INTRODUCTION The Indonesia Constitution is one of the oldest constitutions in the world that guarantees the right of education for its citizens. Although during the last 25 years Indonesia has been successful in increasing the access to primary education, the country still faces many education issues such as the gender disparity issue and the low quality of education.

Marine Tenure in Indonesia's Makassar Straits The Mandar Raft Fishery Charles Zerner 40 Tompkins Place Brooklyn, New York 11231 Consultant, World Resources Institute Program in Biodiversity Washington, D.C. CONFERENCE DRAFT presented at The First Annual Meeting of the International Association for the Study of Common Property, September 27-30, 1990 Duke University, Durham, North Carolina. 2 Marine Tenure in Indonesia's Makassar Straits The Mandar Raft Fishery Abstract Although a diversity of contemporary common property marine resource management systems has been documented in the South Pacific (Johannes 1982, Johannes et al 1984; Ruddle and Johannes 1985; Cordell 1989), the existence and utility of marine cpr practices on the coasts and islands of Indonesia's vast archipelago of more than 13,000 islands have been questioned (Polunin 1984, 1985). This paper reviews developments in one contemporary marine cpr system, the Mandar raft fishery, and briefly relates preliminary findings concerning another, the Balabalangan Islands' fishery. The role of these local resource management practices in regulating access to local environments is reviewed, as are their inadequacies. Both marine tenure systems are alive but under assault: they are being undermined and delegitimized by governmental administrative practices and judicial decisions. Adverse consequences of governmental interventions in these fisheries cprs probably entails diminished welfare of local communities and decreased capacity to limit emerging environmental pressures on local resource

Nowcasting Earthquakes in Sulawesi Island, Indonesia Sumanta Pasari1, Andrean VH Simanjuntak2, and Yogendra Sharma1 ABSTRACT Large devastating events such as earthquakes often display frequency-magnitude statistics that exhibit power-law distribution. In this study, we implement a new method of nowcasting (Rundle et al. 2016) to evaluate the current state of earthquake hazards in the seismic prone Sulawesi province, Indonesia. The nowcasting technique considers statistical behavior of small event counts, known as natural times, to infer the seismic progression of large earthquake cycles in a defined region. To develop natural time statistics in the Sulawesi Island, we employ four probability models, namely exponential, exponentiated exponential,

Maritime culture; Java island is located in the midst of Indonesian archipelago which is geographically recognized as Insular region; the ‘‘maritime continent’’ and the widest insular region in the world. During the history, Java has Maritime continent been one of the most important islands not only in the Indonesian archipelago but also in Southeast Asian region. It is interesting that Java has not only varied maritime cultures but also feudalistic inland culture. Moreover, during the course of history there has been a latent contesting relation- ship among the two different types of culture, which has been coloring the history of Indonesia at large till the present day. ª 2013 Production and hosting by Elsevier B.V. on behalf of Institution for Marine and Island Cultures, Mokpo National University.

Our relocated foreshocks, mainshock, and aftershocks and their focal mechanisms show that they occurred on two diferent fault planes, in which the foreshock perturbed the stress state of a nearby fault segment, causing the fault plane to subsequently rupture. The mainshock had relatively few after- shocks, an observation that is likely related to the kinematics of the fault rupture, which is relatively small in size and of short duration, thus indicating a high stress-drop earthquake rupture. The Coulomb stress change shows that areas to the northwest and southeast of the mainshock have increased stress, consistent with the observation that most aftershocks are in the northwest. Keywords: Mamuju–Majene, Earthquake, Relocation, Rupture, Stress-change Introduction mainshock from two of the nearest stations in Mamuju On January 14, 2021, a destructive earthquake (Mw 6.2) and Majene are 95.9 and 92.8 Gals, respectively, equiva- between Mamuju and Majene, West Sulawesi, Indonesia, lent to VI on the MMI scale (Additional fle 1: Figure S1).
