The earthquake generated a tsunami with inundation depths up to 10 m high and inundation distances in excess of 400m. The tsunami was likely generated by a combination of minor fault dis- placement and multiple submarine landslides. In addition to the tsunami the region experienced co-seismic coastal subsidence that in places exceeded 1m and likely exacerbated the inundation of tsunami waves in some areas including Palu city. During a post tsunami survey in November 2018 we sampled four transects for sediment anal- ysis; two in Palu City and one each on the eastern and western coasts of Palu Bay.

Results showed that the 2018 Palu earthquake ruptured a fault plane with a relatively steep dip angle of ~85◦.

  • Local Trade Networks in Maluku in the 16Th, 17Th and 18Th Centuries
    CAKALELEVOL. 2, :-f0. 2 (1991), PP. LOCAL TRADE NETWORKS IN MALUKU IN THE 16TH, 17TH, AND 18TH CENTURIES LEONARD Y. ANDAYA U:-fIVERSITY OF From an outsider's viewpoint, the diversity of language and ethnic groups scattered through numerous small and often inaccessible islands in Maluku might appear to be a major deterrent to economic contact between communities. But it was because these groups lived on small islands or in forested larger islands with limited arable land that trade with their neighbors was an economic necessity Distrust of strangers was often overcome through marriage or trade partnerships. However, the most . effective justification for cooperation among groups in Maluku was adherence to common origin myths which established familial links with societies as far west as Butung and as far east as the Papuan islands. I The records of the Dutch East India Company housed in the State Archives in The Hague offer a useful glimpse of the operation of local trading networks in Maluku. Although concerned principally with their own economic activities in the area, the Dutch found it necessary to understand something of the nature of Indigenous exchange relationships. The information, however, never formed the basis for a report, but is scattered in various documents in the form of observations or personal experiences of Dutch officials. From these pieces of information it is possible to reconstruct some of the complexity of the exchange in MaJuku in these centuries and to observe the dynamism of local groups in adapting to new economic developments in the area. In addition to the Malukans, there were two foreign groups who were essential to the successful integration of the local trade networks: the and the Chinese.

  • Selection of LNG Receiving Ports
    Chapter 4 Selection of LNG Receiving Ports January 2021 This chapter should be cited as ERIA (2021), ‘Selection of LNG Receiving Ports’, in Kimura, S., et al. (eds.), Feasible Solutions to Deliver LNG to Midsized and Large Islands in Indonesia. ERIA Research Project Report FY2020 no.18, Jakarta: ERIA, pp.22-30. Chapter 4 Selection of LNG Receiving Ports In this chapter, we proposed the locations of LNG receiving ports by using a methodology that considers several factors. First, we looked at the forecasted LNG demand in Eastern Indonesia as estimated in chapter 3. Second, in each region we gathered all seaports that are geographically close to the existing or planned-to-be-developed natural gas–fired or dual- engine power plants. Third, we gathered information on the profile of those seaports. Finally, considering the specifications of the model LNG carrier vessels, we selected several seaports as LNG receiving ports based on the accessibility of those seaports. In section 4.1, we presented the initial candidates for LNG receiving terminals (ports) based on the location of the existing seaports, the forecasted LNG demand and the existing and planned GPPs. In section 4.2, we selected LNG carrier vessels and presented their characteristics. Finally, in section 4.3, we presented the selected receiving ports based on their accessibility for the model ships. 1. Regions and the Potential LNG Receiving Ports Chapter 3 identified 21 regions that include cities and small islands where potential LNG demand for power generation would likely be generated in the future, i.e. in the 2040 horizon.

  • Kepulauan Maluku 1. Overview Koridor Ekonomi Papua
    PRESIDEN REPUBLIK INDONESIA - 159 - G. Koridor Ekonomi Papua – Kepulauan Maluku 1. Overview Koridor Ekonomi Papua – Kepulauan Maluku Koridor Ekonomi Papua – Kepulauan Maluku terdiri dari Provinsi Papua, Provinsi Papua Barat, Provinsi Maluku dan Provinsi Maluku Utara. Sesuai dengan tema pembangunannya, Koridor Ekonomi Papua – Kepulauan Maluku merupakan pusat pengembangan pangan, perikanan, energi, dan pertambangan nasional. Secara umum, Koridor Ekonomi Papua – Kepulauan Maluku. Maluku memiliki potensi sumber daya alam yang melimpah, namun di sisi lain terdapat beberapa masalah yang harus menjadi perhatian dalam upaya mendorong perekonomian di koridor ini, antara lain: a. Laju pertumbuhan PDRB di Koridor Ekonomi Papua – Kepulauan Maluku dari tahun 2006 – 2009, tergolong relatif tinggi, yakni sebesar 7 persen, namun besaran PDRB tersebut relatif kecil dibanding dengan koridor lainnya; PRESIDEN REPUBLIK INDONESIA - 160 - Gambar 3.G.1 PDRB antar Daerah b. Disparitas yang besar terjadi di antara kabupaten di Papua. Sebagai contoh, PDRB per kapita Kabupaten Mimika adalah sebesar IDR 240 juta, sementara kabupaten lainnya berada di bawah rata-rata PDB per kapita nasional (IDR 24,26 juta); Gambar 3.G.2 PDRB per Kapita antar Daerah di Provinsi di Provinsi Papua PRESIDEN REPUBLIK INDONESIA - 161 - c. Investasi yang rendah di Papua disebabkan oleh tingginya risiko berusaha dan tingkat kepastian usaha yang rendah; d. Produktivitas sektor pertanian belum optimal yang salah satunya disebabkan oleh keterbatasan sarana pengairan; e. Keterbatasan infrastruktur untuk mendukung pembangunan ekonomi; f. Jumlah penduduk yang sangat rendah dengan mobilitas tinggi memberikan tantangan khusus dalam pembuatan program pembangunan di Papua. Kepadatan populasi Papua adalah 12,6 jiwa/km2, jauh lebih rendah dari rata-rata kepadatan populasi nasional (124 jiwa/km2).

However, due to the uniqueness of the recent situation, neurosurgical centers, especially those located in low-resource settings, are facing several challenges such as a lack of coordination, poor equipment, and shortage of medical personnel. Therefore, several guidelines from local authorities and international neurosurgical bodies have been published to help clinicians manage their patients. In addition, the academic health system (AHS), which is an integrated system containing a medical institution, universities, and a teaching hospital, may play some role in the management of patients during COVID-19. The objective of this study was to describe how each hospital in the authors’ network adjusted their neurosurgical practice and how the AHS of the Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM) played its role in the adaptation process during the pandemic.

  • What Is Parara?
    “Panen Raya Nusantara” (PARARA) or “The Big Harvest of the Archipelago”. PARARA stands for “Panen Raya Nusantara” or “The Big Harvest of the Archipelago”. WHAT IS PARARA? This festival is an initiative of 22 organizations supporting over 100 community producer groups promoting local, sustainable products and produce from across the Indonesian archipelago. The imperative is to show the greater public, especially the urban folk in the city, the importance, diversity, richness and breadth of sustainable practices and traditional livelihoods that local communities have built across the forests, fields and seas of Indonesia over time. We are expecting over 5000 visitors to the festival. WHY PARARA? 2015 represents the onset of market integration through the ASEAN Economic Community. Though the single market may present challenges for small producers, it could also be a great opportunity to promote communities as wise economic actors. The development agenda of Indonesia, and for many ASEAN countries for that matter, is still dominated by the pursuit of economic growth which may run contrast to values of natural resource conservation, cultural identity and the well- being of thousands of local and rural communities. PARARA will showcase the counter-narrative of this evolving paradigm and will demonstrate that alternative greener and fairer economies are possible. Sustainable and fair consumption is also key. PARARA will be held in Lapangan Banteng, Central Jakarta from June 6-7, 2015 at the close of World Environment Day. Photos by: Robertson (left), C. Eghenter (middle), and NJT (right) WHAT TO DO, SEE and ENJOY! The festival will display at least 70 booths of community food, crafts and personal care products.
