R. Dr. Don A. L. Flassy Isbi-Liptek-Papua Abstract The title of this paper Natural Environment vis-à-vis Living Environment in the Culture and Philosophy of Papua Melanesia questions the Natural Environment versus Living Environment in cultural and philosophical life of the Melanesian in general and Papua in particular. In questioning that, we are confronted with three main points, first, in the daily practice of Melanesian ethnicity, especially in Papua, facing tensions that can also be called conflicts of interest between "environment" as the Natural Environment but because it is confined to foreign interests (outsiders) so it must accept the concept of the Living Environment; second, Environmental Concepts in Culture and Philosophy of Papua-Melanesia, third, Peaceful Steps as a logical consequence of the concept of sustainability.The purpose of this writing is academic and practical. The academic goals is using Structuralism and Hidden Structure theory converged with other supporting theories, bringing the compromise and action to nature in a sustainable manner. The practical purpose with respect to that is to know the concept of Papua-Melanesian emik related to the existence environment in the form of daily life behavior as well as philosophy in the form of‖source of life‖ and "way of life".Furthermore, this research also introduces what is called Papuanistics and Melanesianology.

  • Identification of Risk Factors of Road Development Process in District Sarmi-Jayapura
    Available online www.jsaer.com Journal of Scientific and Engineering Research, 2018, 5(4):372-379 ISSN: 2394-2630 Research Article CODEN(USA): JSERBR Identification of Risk Factors of Road Development Process in District Sarmi-Jayapura Adolf Alpius Asmuruf1, Manlian Ronald. A. Simanjuntak2 1Post Graduate Program in Construction Management–Universitas Tarumanagara – Indonesia 2Professor in Construction Management – Universitas Pelita Harapan – Indonesia Abstract Comparison between road infrastructure owned by Sarmi Regency with total area of Sarmi equal to 35,587 km2, that is only 0.85%. Thus the road infrastructure owned by Sarmi Regency has not even reached 1% of the total area as a whole with the structure of the road in the form of hardened roads. In any construction project there must be a risk, not least in this road construction project in Sarmi Regency. Risk is a consequence of an uncertain condition. In a construction project the uncertainty is huge because it can not be predicted exactly how much profit or loss will be obtained. Because of this, the purpose of this study is to determine the factors and risk variables that occur in the construction of roads in Sarmi District. Determination of risk factors and variables is done by regular study and field observation. The results of this study indicate that there are at least 10 risk factors indicated to influence road construction in Sarmi-Jayapura Regency, which are political factor, environmental factor, economic factor, natural factor, project factor, human factor, criminal factor, technical factor and safety factor. In addition, there are 49 research variables indicated to have an effect on road construction in Sarmi-Jayapura Regency.

  • Women Participation in Health Sector Development Planning in Jayapura Regency, Indonesia
    Women Participation in Health Sector Development Planning in Jayapura Regency, Indonesia S Fatimah 1, Rakhmat 2, Hasniati 3, M Yunus 4 1Universitas Yapis Papua, Jayapura, 2,3,4Universitas Hasanuddin, Makassar [email protected] , [email protected] , [email protected] , [email protected] ABSTRACT This study of National Health System becomes a reference in the preparation and implementation of health development in Indonesia. Related to the health development of an area or region, the government sets public health standards. For the Papua region, particularly Jayapura Regency in general the health status has not yet reached the national health standard. One indicator on the national life expectancy is 69.19 years old while in Jayapura the life expectancy is only 66.4 years old. The low health standard cannot be separated from community participation, especially women in the development planning process in the health sector. To assess the active involvement of women in development can be seen from the Gender Development Index (IDG) data. The IDG of Jayapura Regency is at the level of 61.91 lower than that of the neighboring district, Sarmi Regency at 65.29 and Keerom Regency at 62.34. Even though the two regencies are a division area of Jayapura Regency. This shows that Jayapura Regency women have not been fully involved directly in health development planning activities in Jayapura Regency. The question then is what causes the low participation of women in regional development planning? To answer these questions, this study uses a qualitative research approach. Data collection techniques are in-depth interviews and focus group discussions (FGDs) to actors involved in the development planning consultation process (Musrenbang) in Jayapura Regency.
