Abstract Land management has four functions that are interlinkage to each other: land tenure, land valuation, land use planning and land development. These functions are the foundation of Indonesia's new strategy for improving its Ease Of Doing Business (EODB), directly in dealing with construction permits and registering property. Ideally, each permit includes Rights, Restrictions, and Responsibilities (RRRs) from land management functions. However, in a decentralization, it is difficult to manage RRRs sourced from different activities and managed by multiple data custodians. Our study applies the conceptual data modeling of spatial planning information in the revision of ISO 19152 on the Land Administration Domain Model (LADM) to ensure the interoperability of RRRs information. This paper is focus on how to establish interoperability of land information and disseminate to enable economic actors in doing complex tasks such as issuing business license and registering properties.

The growth of this industry is driven by an increasing number of middle-class millennial consumers who are technology savvy and have higher purchasing power. Despite the importance of this consumer segment, there are limited studies about the intention of middle-class millennial consumers to purchase through e-commerce, particularly in developing countries, such as Indonesia. This study intends to examine the factors leading to consumer intention to shop online by including perceived security and perceived privacy to extend the theory of Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). Data were collected from 187 respondents and analyzed using PLS-SEM. The findings showed that perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, perceived security, and perceived privacy influences consumers’ intention to shop in e-commerce, which was mediated by their attitude toward e-commerce. Among these influencing factors, perceived usefulness had a greater role in shaping consumer attitudes toward e-commerce than perceived ease of use, perceived security, and perceived privacy.

  • Universal Health Coverage 2019 in Indonesia: the Integration of Family Planning Services in Current Functioning Health System
    Journal of Population and Social Studies, Volume 27 Number 3, June 2019: 247 - 265 DOI: 10.25133/JPSSv27n3.0016 Universal Health Coverage 2019 in Indonesia: The Integration of Family Planning Services in Current Functioning Health System Irma Ardiana1*, Mario Ekoriano1 and Siti Fathonah1 Abstract Indonesia is currently on track to achieve Universal Health Coverage (UHC) by 2019. The country’s health insurance program aims to address issues of disintegration in the implementation and coverage of various health insurance schemes that used fragmented fund pooling for financing them. Under the UHC, family planning services is one of the benefit packages. However, little has been done to examine how family planning programs are appropriately managed across levels of governments and how family planning services are delivered to the end user. This study has been conducted through focus group discussions with related policy makers and selected programmers at the central and district levels. The study also benefits from related studies on family planning in the UHC scheme and other supporting data. The study carefully investigates some programmatic implications of the integration of family planning into the UHC program. An improvement in the regulatory frameworks and management considering the construction of the relationship between the central and district governments and across related institutions is noteworthy. Periodic studies highlighting the progress of program implementation is recommended. This would create opportunities for quick notification and problem- solving discussions in the case of improper planning and implementation. Keywords Beneficiary; family planning services; National population and family planning board; universal health coverage Background Moving closer towards UHC is relevant to all countries as reflected in the 2012 United Nation General Assembly (UNGA) resolution 2.
