IV ABSTRACT This work addresses the subject area of global urbanization and its linked environmental and social consequences, a relatively recent focus within the larger geographic tradition of investigating interrelationships between people and their environments. The research site is a rapidly urbanizing market center on a small tropical island of Indonesia, where conditions evoke particular concerns for not only human survival but also for related issues of coastal management, marine biodiversity and the sustainability of island urbanization. Recent urban growth has brought severe environmental deterioration to the city of Ambon and its surrounds, while local government remains unable to keep up with the infrastructure and service needs of its predominantly low income population. Taking its impetus from political ecology and employing auxiliary concepts on practice from theorist Pierre Bourdieu and from network theory, this work enfolds political-economic and social analyses of urbanization processes within an investigation of local environmental problems and local agency. Focused primarily at the micro-level of the household and neighborhood, the research aims to increase understanding of the phenomena of urban environmental degradation and local self-management ofthe urban environment within this coastal city. v TABLE OF CONTENTS ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS 11l ABSTRACT v LIST OF TABLES XIV LIST OF FIGURES xvii LIST OF BOXES XIX CHAPTER I: URBANIZATION AND ENVIRONMENT: AN OVERVIEW... 1 Urbanization in Global and Regional Context 2 Global Trends 3 Uneven Growth and Unequal Growth 4 Coastal Settlements 6 Environmental Degradation 7 Regional Aspects 8 The Asia-Pacific Economic Region 9 Asian Patterns ofUrbanization 10 Mega-Urban Regions and Desakota 11 National and Local Aspects ofUrbanization and Environment 13 Indonesia 13 The Research Site - Ambon 15 Investigating Environment and Urbanization in Ambon 17 The Research Questions 18 Overview ofthe Dissertation 19 VI CHAPTER 2: UNDERSTANDING ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT IN AMBON'S URBAN NEIGHBORHOODS 22 Introduction 22 Political Ecology - Influences and Developments 23 Human-Environmental Relationships 24 Studies ofThird World Development 27 Political Ecology as an Integrative Field ofStudy in Geography 29 Political Ecology as a Research Framework 34 Rural Bias 35 Theorizations ofSociety - Political Ecology and Local Practice 36 Theorizing Society and Collective Action 37 Bourdieu's Theory ofPractice 37 Social Actors and Social Structures 38 Power and Domination 40 Bourdieu's Ethnomethodology 45 Bourdieu's Research 46 Collective Arrangements to Manage the Urban Environment 51 Network Theory 52 The Household as a Unit ofAnalysis 56 Summary: The Study ofEnvironmental Management in Ambon....... 57 CHAPTER 3: METHODOLOGY 60 Introduction 60 Rationale and Influences 60 Grounding Fieldwork -- Interpretation 61 Background Influences 63 Field Research 65 Bureaucracy and Gatekeeping 66 The Role ofLanguage 67 Positioning 68 vii Gender Issues . 71 A Changing Social Landscape .. 73 Research Questions I Propositions .. 75 Research Goal .. 75 Main Research Questions .. 76 Research Propositions and Assumptions . 76 Logic Linking Data to Questions . 77 Derivative Questions Guiding Data Collection . 77 Conceptual Framework .. 78 Political Ecology .. 78 The Case Study .. 80 Advantages ofthe Case Study as a Research Strategy . 80 Drawbacks ofThe Case Study Strategy . 81 Critique ofMultiple Methods .. 82 Methods and Components ofthe Study and the Selection of Sites . 83 Selection ofMethods and Components . 83 Units ofAnalysis .. 83 Selection of Study Neighborhoods . 87 Five Methodological Components . 87 I.

  • The Cia-Cia's Adoption of the Korean Alphabet and Identity Politics in Decentralised Indonesia
    KEMANUSIAAN Vol. 20, No. 1, (2013), 51–80 Being Korean in Buton? The Cia-Cia's Adoption of the Korean Alphabet and Identity Politics in Decentralised Indonesia SEUNG-WON SONG Hankuk University of Foreign Studies, Yongin, South Korea [email protected] Abstract. This study1 investigates the motives behind the adoption of Hangeul, the Korean alphabet, by the Cia-Cia ethnic group in Baubau, Sulawesi, Indonesia. The import of Hangeul exemplifies how Indonesian peripheries have tried to form their own regions as distinctive entities against the nation. Their attempts to do so expand beyond the nation in hopes of emerging as new centres in a decentralised Indonesia, in which new power dynamics can be negotiated. Furthermore, this case portrays how the local population copes with growing ethnic identities and the mission of modernisation simultaneously. Keywords and phrases: Hangeul in Buton, Cia-Cia ethnic group, Indonesia's identity politics Introduction In August 2009, Amirul Tamim, the Mayor (2003–2012) of Baubau City on Buton Island, located in the south-eastern part of Sulawesi, announced that the Cia-Cia ethnic group in the region had just adopted Hangeul, the Korean alphabet, as a transcription tool for its ethnic language. This ethnic group, with a population of approximately 60,000, lives primarily in the Buton district and the nearby islands; however, one-third of the ethnic group now resides in Baubau.2 This export of Hangeul was initiated by the Hunmin Jeongeum Society,3 a scholarly association consisting of several linguists in Korea. For the past decade, this association has attempted to export Hangeul to a number of remote areas in countries such as China, Nepal and Thailand.

  • Indonesia's Sustainable Development Projects
    a INDONESIA’S SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS PREFACE Indonesia highly committed to implementing and achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Under the coordination of the Ministry of National Development Planning/Bappenas, Indonesia has mainstreamed SDGs into National Medium-Term Development Plan (RPJMN) and elaborated in the Government Work Plan (RKP) annual budget documents. In its implementation, Indonesia upholds the SDGs principles, namely (i) universal development principles, (ii) integration, (iii) no one left behind, and (iv) inclusive principles. Achievement of the ambitious SDGs targets, a set of international commitments to end poverty and build a better world by 2030, will require significant investment. The investment gap for the SDGs remains significant. Additional long-term resources need to be mobilized from all resources to implement the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. In addition, it needs to be ensured that investment for the SDGs is inclusive and leaves no one behind. Indonesia is one of the countries that was given the opportunity to offer investment opportunities related to sustainable development in the 2019 Sustainable Development Goals Investment (SDGI) Fair in New York on April 15-17 2019. The SDGI Fair provides a platform, for governments, the private sectors, philanthropies and financial intermediaries, for “closing the SDG investment gap” through its focus on national and international efforts to accelerate the mobilization of sufficient investment for sustainable development. Therefore, Indonesia would like to take this opportunity to convey various concrete investment for SDGs. The book “Indonesia’s Sustainable Development Project” shows and describes investment opportunities in Indonesia that support the achievement of related SDGs goals and targets.

    4/17/2018 Desperation in the Indonesian diaspora - New Mandala Desperation in the Indonesian diaspora The global success of Satudarah, an outlaw motorcycle gang with roots in the Netherlands' Indonesian community, speaks to the ongoing socioeconomic marginalisation of Indonesian and other diaspora communities in the west. MICHAEL BUEHLER - 17 APR, 2018 In 2012, Dino Patti Djalal, then the Indonesian ambassador to the United States, launched the rst Congress of Indonesian Diasporas.

  • Family Based Religious Character Education on Posuo Rituals in Baubau Society
    Family Based Religious Character Education on Posuo Rituals in Baubau Society Abu Muslim1, La Mansi2, Mujizatullah3, Muh. Subair4, Hamsiati5 {[email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected]} Balai Penelitian dan Pengembangan Agama Jl. AP. Pettarani No. 72 Makassar1,2,3,4,5 Abstract. This paper contains a description of the posuo ritual in the Baubau community. This study aims to explore and understand the values of religious character education contained in the posuo culture in the Baubau community. Collecting data through in-depth interviews, observation and literature study. This research reveals that the posuo ritual is a custom of the people of Baubau City which is very important in shaping the character of girls before marriage so that they have a positive outlook. Posuo aims to be implemented for humanity. In practice, posuo is carried out by teenage girls, who are required to go through posuo before marriage, because in the posuo there is guidance for moral education. Through this moral education, marriage provision is inherited as an important part in the phase of character building in the household system. The contextualization of the posuo is a major part of the continuation of the marriage, which is expected to be a form of inheritance of religious education in the family, with the main hope of forming Sakinah, Mawaddah, wa rahmah. So that the complete knowledge of the inheritance of the posuo is also expected to prevent and / or reduce the divorce rate. Another advantage of holding this posuo ritual is because in the ritual process it can improve the relationship between fellow Baubau City residents.
