BACKGROUND 1.1. Location The District of Merauke is located in the south eastern corner of Irian Jaya, bordering Papua New Guinea (Figures 1). It is the largest district of Irian Jaya constituting 29% of the Province in terms of area. Merauke has a coastline of 1,050 km. Fronting this coast­ line is the productive Arafura Sea. The size of the Indonesian territorial and EEZ waters in the Arafura Sea is 75,000 km.sq. 1.2. Status of Fisheries The fisheries in Merauke can be classified into two broad categories namely small-scale and industrial fisheries. It is however dominated by the small-scale sub-sector. The small-scale fisheries is characterized by the existence of a large number of small fishing villages scattered along the coastline with poor accessibility and facilities. In the case of Merauke, there are some 200 such fishing villages in the district. A fairly large number of fishing vessels are used but they are mainly dugout canoes and plank-built sampans, the majority of which are non-powered. The fishing gears employed are mainly traditional ones for fishing in the nearby estuarine and coastal areas. Productivity is generally low and access to market poor. As such, the small-scale fishing communities are generally under developed. On the other hand, there is the fairly well organized and often self sustaining industrial sub-sector spearheaded by fishing companies. There are four such fishing companies operating in Merauke namely PT Djarma Aru, PT Timika, PT Pelagis and PT lstana. They operate a fleet of large vessels ranging from 30 - 200 GT employing trawl and gill nets aimed at the demersal resources. 1.3. Fishery Resources Merauke District has an extensive mangrove forest fringing its coastline. The mangrove eco-system is still in a relatively undisturbed condition harbouring productive fishery resources such as shrimps, mangrove crabs and some important fish species notably sea perch, and milk fish. There are also indications that the shallow territorial and internal waters of the coast of Merauke are rich in demersal resources. Results of a limited survey (Badrudin and Rusmadji, 1988) showed very high catch rates (7.3 tonnes/km.sq) for trawling in coastal areas. When these preliminary indications are extrapolated to the entire territorial and internal waters, a large biomass is suggested. This presents considerable fishery development possibilities, especially for the small-scale fisheries. 1.4. Production The fish landings recorded by the Merauke District Fisheries Service are mainly from the small-scale fisheries and the local industrial fleet. It can be seen from the statistics collected that the fisheries production has increased signtficantly from 12,950 tonnes in 1990 to 44,600 tonnes in 1994. The main species of catch are sea perch, sharks, cat fish, 2 pomfrets, milk fish, chub mackerel, mullet, threadfin and ray (Table 1). The rapid increase is mainly due to the operation of the industrial fleet.

Fishing Fleet In 1994, a total of 1 ,805 fishing vessels was recorded comprising 1 ,402 non-powered, 97 outboard and 306 inboard engine vessels. Generally the small non-powered and outboard engine vessel are used by the small-scale fishermen. On the other hand, the larger and better equipped inboard engine vessels are employed by the industrial establishments. PT Djanna Aru has a fleet of 60 gill netters, PT lstana 28 trawlers, PT Timika 25 trawlers and PT Pelagis 11 trawlers. 1.6. Fishing Gear A total of 7,000 units of fishing gear was operated in 1994. However, the majority of the fishing gears are traditional ones like the beach seine, gill net, hand line, castnet and traps. Trawl nets are also employed

  • Gender, Ritual and Social Formation in West Papua
    Gender, ritual Pouwer Jan and social formation Gender, ritual in West Papua and social formation A configurational analysis comparing Kamoro and Asmat Gender,in West Papua ritual and social Gender, ritual and social formation in West Papua in West ritual and social formation Gender, This study, based on a lifelong involvement with New Guinea, compares the formation in West Papua culture of the Kamoro (18,000 people) with that of their eastern neighbours, the Asmat (40,000), both living on the south coast of West Papua, Indonesia. The comparison, showing substantial differences as well as striking similarities, contributes to a deeper understanding of both cultures. Part I looks at Kamoro society and culture through the window of its ritual cycle, framed by gender. Part II widens the view, offering in a comparative fashion a more detailed analysis of the socio-political and cosmo-mythological setting of the Kamoro and the Asmat rituals. These are closely linked with their social formations: matrilineally oriented for the Kamoro, patrilineally for the Asmat. Next is a systematic comparison of the rituals. Kamoro culture revolves around cosmological connections, ritual and play, whereas the Asmat central focus is on warfare and headhunting. Because of this difference in cultural orientation, similar, even identical, ritual acts and myths differ in meaning. The comparison includes a cross-cultural, structural analysis of relevant myths. This publication is of interest to scholars and students in Oceanic studies and those drawn to the comparative study of cultures. Jan Pouwer (1924) started his career as a government anthropologist in West New Guinea in the 1950s and 1960s, with periods of intensive fieldwork, in particular among the Kamoro.

  • Governing New Guinea New
    Governing New Guinea New Guinea Governing An oral history of Papuan administrators, 1950-1990 Governing For the first time, indigenous Papuan administrators share their experiences in governing their country with an inter- national public. They were the brokers of development. After graduating from the School for Indigenous Administrators New Guinea (OSIBA) they served in the Dutch administration until 1962. The period 1962-1969 stands out as turbulent and dangerous, Leontine Visser (Ed) and has in many cases curbed professional careers. The politi- cal and administrative transformations under the Indonesian governance of Irian Jaya/Papua are then recounted, as they remained in active service until retirement in the early 1990s. The book brings together 17 oral histories of the everyday life of Papuan civil servants, including their relationship with superiors and colleagues, the murder of a Dutch administrator, how they translated ‘development’ to the Papuan people, the organisation of the first democratic institutions, and the actual political and economic conditions leading up to the so-called Act of Free Choice. Finally, they share their experiences in the UNTEA and Indonesian government organisation. Leontine Visser is Professor of Development Anthropology at Wageningen University. Her research focuses on governance and natural resources management in eastern Indonesia. Leontine Visser (Ed.)

INDONESIAN POLITICS 1964-5 Peter Christian Hauswedell The passing of the Orde Lama in Indonesia and the death of Presi­ dent Sukarno seem too recent, and political emotions are still too high to arrive at a definitive characterization of the nature of the political system and its leader. The apparent contradictions between the ideological dynamism and the social conservatism1 of Guided Democ­ racy, the lack of conclusive evidence about Sukarno’s final political intentions, and the chaotic, even apocalyptic period before the sudden demise of the system a ll contribute to the d iffic u lt y of c la s s ific a ­ tion. Finally, the dramatic events around the October 1, 1965 coup attempt have distracted our attention unduly. In Indonesia itself, the political atmosphere does not yet allow an objective assessment of the period. Since nearly all members of the present elite were in one way or another deeply involved in the events of that time, there are few publications about the period, and they have been rather polemical and unsystematic.2 Any study which contributes to our knowledge of Sukarno and Indo­ nesian p o lit ic s before the coup is therefore more than welcome, and John D. Legge’s recent political biography of the former President3 is the first ambitious attempt to portray this certainly complex, and often contradictory political leader.1* Although solid in factual 1.

  • Papua New Guinea, Agats & Raja Ampat Expedition
    PAPUA NEW GUINEA, AGATS & RAJA AMPAT EXPEDITION Embark on an exciting, 18-day expedition cruise that grants you access to one of the remotest regions left on earth – Oceania’s smaller islands. Discover cerulean seas, remote tribes, and incredible wildlife and marine life when you travel from Papua New Guinea’s New Britain around the tip of PNG, through the Torres Strait and to the westernmost point of West Papua. This sailing proffers the twin promises of luxury and unfettered horizons. Travel aboard a stylish and comfortable ship crewed by a passionate and knowledgeable team. Enjoy unique onshore excursions in special places that our guides know well. ITINERARY DAY 1, RABAUL Your luxury expedition cruise begins in Rabaul, the former capital of Papua New Guinea’s New Britain island. Located inside a flooded caldera, the town’s proximity to a volatile volcano – plus aerial bombardment during World War II – has forced it to rise from the ashes more than once. Most recently the town was rebuilt after widespread destruction caused when Mount Tavurvur erupted in 1994. Thanks to its impressive harbour, buzzing markets and fascinating wartime past, Rabaul is an exciting place to visit. There’s an observatory in the town’s centre, which monitors the country’s two volcanic arcs, and a small museum located in what was a Japanese bunker. DAY 2, JACQUINOT BAY Arrive at a tropical paradise today, as you call on Jacquinot Bay. A large, open inlet on the southeast coast of New Britain, you’ll enjoy the sugary white sand, swaying palm trees which cast perfect patches of shade, cascading cooler-water waterfall, and above all, the tranquillity.

  • Indonesia Commission: Peace and Progress in Papua
    Indonesia Commission: Peace and Progress in Papua Report of an Independent Commission Sponsored by the Council on Foreign Relations Center for Preventive Action Dennis C. Blair, Chair David L. Phillips, Project Director The Council on Foreign Relations is dedicated to increasing America’s understanding of the world and contributing ideas to U.S. foreign policy. The Council accomplishes this mainly by promoting constructive debates and discussions, clarifying world issues, and pub- lishing Foreign Affairs, the leading journal on global issues. The Council is host to the widest possible range of views, but an advocate of none, though its research fellows and Independent Task Forces do take policy positions. THE COUNCIL TAKES NO INSTITUTIONAL POSITION ON POLICY ISSUES AND HAS NO AFFILIATION WITH THE U.S. GOVERNMENT. ALL STATE- MENTS OF FACT AND EXPRESSIONS OF OPINION CONTAINED IN ANY OF ITS PUBLICATIONS ARE THE SOLE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE AUTHOR OR AUTHORS. The Council will sponsor an Independent Commission when (1) an issue of current and critical importance to U.S. foreign policy arises, and (2) it seems that a group diverse in backgrounds and perspectives may, nonetheless, be able to reach a meaningful consensus on a policy through private and nonpartisan deliberations. Typically, a Commission meets between two and five times over a brief period to ensure the relevance of its work. Upon reaching a conclusion, a Commission issues a report, and the Council publishes its text and posts it on the Council website. Commission reports can take three forms: (1) a strong and meaningful policy consensus, with Commission members endorsing the general policy thrust and judgments reached by the group, though not necessarily every find- ing and recommendation; (2) a report stating the various policy positions, each as sharply and fairly as possible; or (3) a “Chairman’s Report,” where Commission members who agree with the Chairman’s report may associate themselves with it, while those who disagree may submit dissenting statements.

More than a thousand children were treated while 78 children under five years of Public health age have died, mostly indigenous children. Asmat Regency is located in Indonesia's easternmost province with poor infrastructure and communication networks, also high transportation costs Social determinants due to swampy regions criss-crossed by rivers, hard-to-reach from the center to the districts. of health (SDH) Asmat's belief in their ancestors has formed their way of life and shaped their behavior, choices, and attitudes towards health issues, such as poor awareness regarding the fulfillment of daily nutritional intake, which is potentially harmful. Curative care is the highest priority in an extraordinary incident such as an outbreak or a mass-casualty disaster. However, establishment of the cultural hegemony of biomedicine will not be achieved overnight. Changing people's health behavior is a significant challenge. To maintain health sustainability, we must reach the entire community, including rural and remote areas, and work together with local indigenous stakeholders to bridge the gaps in sociocultural understanding.

The latest data shows that over 700 indigenous languages are spoken across 34 provinces of the country. Statistics show that of the 34 provinces, the largest number of indigenous languages exists in the Papua province, which covers more than 300 languages. This qualitative study was conducted in Merauke Regency, Papua, the largest regency in Indonesia. It is located in the easternmost tip of Papua island. The study aimed to discover the existence of the Marind language or in the local dialect known as Malind-Anim, one of the indigenous languages spoken by the native tribe of Merauke, and to find out the preservation effort that has been conducted in Merauke. The result of the study revealed that there have been many efforts conducted by the local government of Merauke Regency and the stakeholders to maintain the existence of Marind language. It was conducted through (1) Educational policy, (2) Marind language habituation in public spaces such as announcement at the airport, Marind language usage in public banners, and greetings in Marind language in every formal meeting, (3) Broadcasting media, and (4) Language documentation in the forms of songs and dictionary. Keywords: Indigenous language, Marind (Malind-Anim), language preservation Abstrak Indonesia adalah negara kepulauan dengan berbagai keragaman budaya dan bahasa.
