Managing Resources to Build Back and Create a Better Future for Nias Nias Public Expenditure Analysis 2007 Nias Public Expenditure Analysis 2007 Foreword Already one of the poorest regions in Indonesia, the island of Nias was badly aff ected by the twin disasters of the 26 December 2004 tsunami and a devastating earthquake that struck three months later, on 28 March 2005. Almost 1,000 lives were lost in the two disasters and buildings and infrastructure were destroyed in coastal areas and across the island. The Government of Indonesia and the international community responded generously following the earthquake, with nearly US$500 million being allocated for reconstruction by December 2006 — slightly higher than the estimated value of the damage and losses caused by the two disasters. Now, more than two years after the disasters, and despite the signifi cant progress that has undoubtedly been made, some troubling trends are starting to emerge, of which this report takes stock. In particular, funds are not being disbursed at the desired pace as the reconstruction eff ort faces enormous implementation challenges. Although there seem to be suffi cient funds for the reconstruction of the island, there are still worrying geographical and sectoral gaps in the reconstruction process, creating unnecessary imbalances. Also, despite the involvement of the two district governments in the reconstruction process, their budget allocations for operations and maintenance are very small. This jeopardizes the longer-term sustainability of the reconstruction work that is being undertaken. The two district governments should be playing a key role in the current reconstruction eff ort and, more importantly, in the future development of the island. In view of this, this report also analyzes the district governments’ use of public fi nances since 2001, when decentralization was implemented in Indonesia. The island of Nias, as with the rest of Indonesia, experienced an increase in district government revenues and responsibilities after 2001. However, both districts in the island — Nias and Nias Selatan — have not benefi ted as much from decentralization as other poor regions, particularly until 2005. As a result, overall spending on social and infrastructure services is lower than in most other parts of Sumatra and Indonesia, despite a record 50 percent spending on education. The Nias Public Expenditure Analysis off ers recommendations on how to increase the amount of public resources going to the island, as well as how to improve the eff ectiveness of public spending — critical in the face of low per capita revenues and the developmental needs of the island. This report is the result of close collaboration between the World Bank, the Demographic Institute at the Faculty of Economics, University of Indonesia, and the BRR-Nias offi ce, as well as the two district governments on the island of Nias. The allocation of signifi cant resources for reconstruction, as well as the decentralization process, entails both opportunities and challenges for the development of Nias. We hope that this report assists in making use of those opportunities and overcoming the challenges by informing the planning and budgeting process of the two district governments in Nias, and analyzing constraints in public fi nancial management in both districts, as well as identifying key gaps in the reconstruction process.

    The following is a firsthand account of a medical-relief mission to western Indonesia that Dennis Whitehead, MD ’75, undertook in March 2005 in response to severe earthquakes that devastated the region only months after the tsunami struck. As this issue of Buffalo Physician was going to press, Hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf Coast. We contacted Whitehead and asked him if he had been involved in relief efforts following the storm. We learned he had just Same Planet, a Different World returned from six days of working with the Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals to support search-and- rescue efforts in downtown New Orleans, assist boat crews in the flooded areas, treat rescue workers, complete MEDICAL RELIEF IN INDONESIA, POST-TSUNAMI AND EARTHQUAKE EMS site surveys and examine shelter patients in rural St. Tammany Parish, northeast of New Orleans.

    Hans Harmakaputra, Interfaith Relations in Contemporary Indonesia

    Key Issues in Religion and World Affairs Interfaith Relations in Contemporary Indonesia: Challenges and Progress Hans Abdiel Harmakaputra PhD Student in Comparative Theology, Boston College I. Introduction In February 2014 Christian Solidarity Worldwide (CSW) published a report concerning the rise of religious intolerance across Indonesia. Entitled Indonesia: Pluralism in Peril,1 this study portrays the problems plaguing interfaith relations in Indonesia, where many religious minorities suffer from persecution and injustice. The report lists five main factors contributing to the rise of religious intolerance: (1) the spread of extremist ideology through media channels, such as the internet, religious pamphlets, DVDs, and other means, funded from inside and outside the country; (2) the attitude of local, provincial, and national authorities; (3) the implementation of discriminatory laws and regulations; (4) weakness of law enforcement on the part of police and the judiciary in cases where religious minorities are victimized; and (5) the unwillingness of a “silent majority” to speak out against intolerance.2 This list of factors shows that the government bears considerable responsibility. Nevertheless, the hope for a better way to manage Indonesia’s diversity was one reason why Joko Widodo was elected president of the Republic of Indonesia in October 2014. Joko Widodo (popularly known as “Jokowi”) is a popular leader with a relatively positive governing record. He was the mayor of Surakarta (Solo) from 2005 to 2012, and then the governor of Jakarta from 2012 to 2014. People had great expectations for Jokowi’s administration, and there have been positive improvements during his term. However, Human Rights Watch (HRW) World Report 2016 presents negative data regarding his record on human rights in the year 2015, including those pertaining to interfaith relations.3 The document 1 The pdf version of the report can be downloaded freely from Christian Solidarity Worldwide, “Indonesia: Pluralism in Peril,” February 14, 2014.

    CHAPTER V CLOSING 5.1 Conclusion Ethnic Minority Entrepreneurship Has Become a Phenomenon That Is Widely Found in All Parts of T

    CHAPTER V CLOSING 5.1 Conclusion Ethnic minority entrepreneurship has become a phenomenon that is widely found in all parts of the world. This type of entrepreneurship is driven by migration out of the place of origin to get better opportunities in other areas. The movement that occurs causes people from one ethnic group to join with other ethnic groups in the destination. This assimilation causes ethnic migrants to be outnumbered by local ethnic groups in the destination that have been there for a long time. This has led to the term ethnic minority. Efforts to earn income through doing business by ethnic minority then formed the term ethnic minority entrepreneurship. Nias is an ethnic who has a long history with West Sumatra area, especially the city of Padang. Although still outnumbered by Minangkabau ethnicity, Nias people in Padang City already have strong roots because of the nature of Nias people who have a strong sense of kinship. From an economic standpoint, over time, progressive changes have been found in the economic order of the Nias community in the city of Padang. In the past Nias people only worked as farmers, becoming fishermen or laborers in the city of Padang. Now, Nias people in Padang who are a minority have found livelihoods in various fields, including entrepreneurship. Those who originally came with limited language differences, mediocre education and did not have the capital managed to make a 132 decent living and raise the dignity of their ancestors who had set foot first in the city of Padang with low standard of life.

    Does the Current Distribution of Fruit Commodities in North Sumatra Help to Enhance the Regional Economic Development? Dany Juhandi1, Ardian Elonard Purba2 {[email protected]} Politeknik Wilmar Bisnis Indonesia, Indonesia1, 2 Abstract. Fruit commodity is one of the most imported agricultural commodities. However, the government did not pay enough attention to agricultural policies for this commodity. Farmers also prefer to plant food and plantation commodities. Meanwhile, increasing consumption of fruits creates opportunities for farmers and the government to meet domestic demand. It increases due to the consumption factor of the population. Fruit consumption is currently showing an increasing trend because public awareness to consume fruits continues to increase. To meet domestic demand, the fruit market is filled with imported fruits. We need an appropriate development plan for fruit commodities which has an impact on regional economic development. This study aims (1) to analyze potential fruit commodities in North Sumatra, (2) to analyze specialization and localization of fruit commodities, and (3) to analyze priority fruit commodities in North Sumatra. The research methodology used in this paper is quantitative descriptive using secondary data from 2017- 2018. The results of the study show that (1) each district in North Sumatra has a very varied fruit commodity base, (2) there are no districts in North Sumatra that specialized in producing certain fruit commodities, (3) the priority fruit commodities are still monotonous. Planning of fruit commodities development has not been specialized so that the objectives of regional economic development based on horticultural commodities are difficult to achieve. Keywords: Regional Economic Development 1 Introduction Fruit commodity is one of horticulture commodity that is less considered compared to food commodities such as rice, corn, and soybeans.

South Nias is one of many regions in Indonesia that still mantains the existence of traditional settlement. Villages in this regency have unique characteristic shown from their linear forms with two rows of houses facing each other. Although the villages all seem similar, but in fact, there are three different spatial patterns. This research would be related with the disparity of these traditional settlement patterns. Qualitative method was used in this research by obtaining data through field observations, interviews, and literature study. The result reveals that the traditional settlement patterns were in the shapes of branched linear, I-shaped linear, and T-shaped linear. This classification was based on the variation of shapes and location of the village material components. Another purpose in this research is to do a documentation about South Nias traditional villages including their original components which become scarce nowadays due to being damaged by natural factors or deliberately replaced by modern components. Keywords: South Nias, Traditional Village, Spatial Pattern Abstrak. Nias Selatan adalah salah satu wilayah di Indonesia yang masih mempertahankan keberadaan permukiman tradisional.

Therefore, it needs another alternative source to meet the standard quality with low cost. One of the potential sources is Lake Toba. To meet the needs North Sumatera Provincial Government intends to use Lake Toba, but it is feared that the decline of normal water level will disrupt the cruise ship, especially when anchored at the port. The Government plans a water supply system in Integrated Water Regional Management (IWRM) to be used collectively to be efficient in construction and operation. This study aims to determine the water balance of Lake Toba if used as a regional water supply and impact on normal water levels. In this paper, the normal water levels were analyzed by inflow and outflow, not based on elevations above sea level. The method of analysis is water balance analysis done in two parts, analysis of water debit requirement (output) and analysis of water supply (input) in a hydrological analysis. Comparison of the water balance is a consideration for conclusions. The results showed that the required debit was 82.37 m3/ sec (output discharge) while the supply of rainfall as reliable discharge was 121.79 m3/sec.
