Indonesia’s Regional Elections: Ditching the Direct Vote? By Dedi Dinarto SYNOPSIS Indonesia’s newly appointed Minister of Home Affairs has decisively called for a major review of the direct election of regional leaders. While this signals the ministry's growing clout, the institution is likely to involve active military and police officers to fill the impending vacuum in key regional leadership positions from 2022 to 2024. There are challenges ahead. COMMENTARY IN NOVEMBER 2019, the newly appointed Minister of Home Affairs Tito Karnavian sparked a controversy when he proposed a review of the direct election system for regional leaders such as governors and mayors ahead of the 2020 simultaneous regional elections ( Pilkada Serentak ). Tito claimed that the local elections have proven to be a financial burden to the state. The country has also been prone to political instability, such as in Papua, with direct elections. Tito proposed to have regional heads appointed by the Regional House of Representatives (DPRD), or regional parliaments. Despite the support of the most dominant party, the Indonesian Democratic Party – Struggle (PDI-P), in the House of Representatives (DPR) or national parliament, President Joko Widodo (a.k.a.

  • Term of Reference Pertemuan Pemerintah Provinsi Dengan
    Term of Reference Pertemuan Pemerintah Provinsi dengan Organisasi Masyarakat Sipil (OMS) Mitra OXFAM “Kolaborasi Pemerintah dan Aktor Non Pemerintah dalam Pembangunan Partisipatif untuk Mendukung Pencapaian SDGs” Perkumpulan PRAKARSA dan Oxfam di Indonesia Bogor, 14 Maret 2019 Pendahuluan Pasca reformasi, demokratisasi mengalami kemajuan. Relasi negara dengan warga membaik, hak sipil politik warga lebih terjamin, pelayanan publik makin baik, dan kesejahteraan meningkat. Pemerintah menjadi aktor kunci dalam upaya memajukan kepentingan publik, baik secara langsung maupun dengan cara membuat kebijakan yang bersinergi dengan kepentingan masyarakat. Di sisi lain, Organisasi Masyarakat Sipil (OMS) juga memiliki kontribusi positif dalam menyuarakan kepentingan publik dan menjadi mitra pemerintah dalam mendorong tata kelola pemerintahan yang transparan dan akuntabel. Seiring dengan komitmen pemerintah dalam mencapai tujuan pembangunan berkelanjutan (SDGs), pendekatan kolaboratif antara aktor pemerintah dengan aktor non-pemerintah perlu diperkuat. Namun, sejumlah tantangan masih tetap ada. Di Indonesia, partisipasi publik yang memfasilitasi keterlibatan warga negara dalam politik termasuk dalam dialog perencanaan serta pelaksanaan kebijakan publik masih sebatas formalitas. Partisipasi publik di Indonesia belum memastikan bahwa semua warga negara mendapatkan keuntungan dari kebijakan publik dan sumber daya yang dimiliki oleh negara meski dari sisi regulasi, Indonesia telah memiliki sejumlah peraturan perundang-undangan yang menjadi dasar pelaksanaan partisipasi publik. Sebagai contoh, Musrenbang yang merupakan ruang partisipasi publik dalam perencanaan pembangunan paling masif masih belum menjamin akses yang setara bagi seluruh kelompok masyarakat. Keterlibatan OMS di beberapa kelompok kerja di K/L juga masih kurang efektif dalam mengagregasi dan mengakomodasi suara-suara OMS. Pun, posisi OMS juga masih belum sepenuhnya diakomodasi dalam seluruh tahapan pembangunan, mulai dari perencanaan-penganggaran sampai implementasi-evaluasi.

  • Land-Use Based GIS-Modelling for Sedimentation Reduction at Bili-Bili Dam, Indonesia
    180 Erosion Prediction in Ungauged Basins: Integrating Methods and Techniques (Proceedings of symposium HS01 held during IUGG2003 at Sapporo, July 2003). IAHS Publ. no. 279, 2003. Land-use based GIS-modelling for sedimentation reduction at Bili-Bili Dam, Indonesia MUH. NURDIN ABDULLAH, AHMAD MUNIR & SYAMSUL ARIFIN LYAS Faculty of Agriculture and Forestry, Hasanuddin University, Tamalanrea, 90245, Makassar, Indonesia [email protected] Abstract This study deals with determining land-use scenarios that will assist in reducing sedimentation at a dam site. The study site is the contributing basin of the Bili-Bili Dam, South Sulawesi, Indonesia. The land-use scenarios were formulated by using an erosion model built within a Geographic Infor- mation System framework. Input data for the model were collected using aerial photographs, satellite imagery and direct observation. Seven land-use scenarios were developed for evaluating the most suitable land use within the drainage basin. The model results show that the basin without conservation generates 1473.04 m3 km-2 year-1 of sediment. The fourth scenario (with cons- ervation) can potentially reduce sediment to approximately 1022.72 m3 km-2 year-1, which is lower than the dead storage of Bili-Bili Dam. It is recom- mended that this sedimentation rate be maintained in order to reach the design life of 50 years for this dam. Based on this work, it was also determined that the existing land-use framework implemented by the local government (Gowa Regency) generates erosion rates higher than the tolerable soil loss (TSL). It is therefore suggested that the existing land use should be modified according to the scenarios developed in this work.

Indonesia’s 2018 Regional Elections Regional Setback For Jokowi? By Alexander R Arifianto Synopsis The ‘quick count’ results of the 2018 regional elections - Pilkada Serentak - show electoral setbacks for the ruling PDI-P and a strong organised campaign by the opposition Gerindra and Prosperous Justice Party (PKS). There are potential implications for the 2019 Indonesian presidential election and for President Jokowi. Commentary INDONESIA’S REGIONAL elections this week have thrown up surprising results. “Quick count” outcomes of polls in several regions point to electoral trends that can have national repercussions, especially for President Joko Widodo (‘Jokowi’) and his governing coalition led by the Indonesian Democratic Party Struggle (PDI-P). Regional executive elections, especially those that elect provincial governors, are increasingly being viewed as a barometer for the forthcoming 2019 general election. A number of Indonesian parties which opposed President Jokowi have vowed to use the 2018 pilkada as a referendum for his presidency and his political party, PDI-P. PDI-P’s electoral ‘setback’ On 27 June 2018 more than 150 million voters across Indonesia casted their ballots to elect local executives in 17 provinces, 39 municipalities and 115 regencies throughout the Indonesian archipelago.
