This research focused on road sector and to learn its implementation in West Java Province. We used the descriptive method using indicators, such as SAF allocation for regency/city, area of regency/city, and GDRP of regency/city. The study shows that SAF for Roads in West Java Province has not been distributed systematically and evenly. The SAF has not been adapted with the condition of inter-regional correlation which is connected by road network, so that the effectiveness of SAF uses in each region is different. Key Words: Infrastructure SAF, Road, Budget Effectiveness 1. INTRODUCTION The policy of State financial management in relation to regional autonomy which has been enacted since January 2001 as mandated by Laws number 22 and 25 of 1999 (later replaced by Law no. 32 of 2004 on Regional Government and Law No. 33 of 2004 on Fiscal Balance between the Central Government and the Regions), have brought about fundamental changes in fiscal management. Prior to the enactment of the laws mentioned above, regional financing was set by the central government through the national budget allocated to the regions, some in the form of subsidies (Autonomous Regional Subsidy or Regional Routine Fund), some others in the form of assistance (Presidential Instruction or Regional Development Fund). Subsidies were allocated for employee salaries/routine expenditure, whereas assistance was allocated to Proceedings of the Eastern Asia Society for Transportation Studies, Vol.7, 2009 finance regional development. Both types of transfer were dominated by the intervention of the central government. Coinciding with the demands on regional autonomy that changed the system of governance from centralization to decentralization, transfer of funds from central government to the regions also changed and brought about Balance Fund in the Indonesian National Budget (APBN). The Balance fund consisting of Sharing Fund (DBH), General Allocation Fund (DAU) and Special Allocation Fund (DAK) is a source of regional revenue which is derived from the Indonesian Budget (APBN) which is an important aspect in the Fiscal Balance between central and regional government. This balance fund does not require a proposal from the regional government since there is a certain formula under the law on the amount of allocation a certain region will receive. Similarly, the distribution/disbursement of the fund is generally distributed directly to the region’s account. The allocation of the fund is totally up to the region. There is a large authority for the region to manage the fund. SAF is a fund originated from the national budget allocated to the regions with the purpose to funding special needs. SAF consists of Reforestation Fund that come from the reforestation fund which is set at 40% of the reforestation fund revenues distributed to the producing regions and Non Reforestation Fund that come from the national budget outside the reforestation fund revenue. One of the non-reforestation SAF financing mechanisms is in the field of infrastructure. Since Fiscal Year 2003, the beginning of the implementation of SAF, there are two types of infrastructure, i.e. road and irrigation. In Fiscal Year 2005, there was an additional type of infrastructure, i.e. clean water. West Java is one of the provinces that receive SAF each year. However, not all regency/city receive SAF routinely. In connection with this, this research aims to see the distribution of infrastructure SAF allocation and related to the area of the region and GDRP of each regency/city in West Java Province. If the mechanism of Infrastructure SAF implementation is conducted properly (by considering the significant increase in budget allocation and the number of regency/city each year), we can interpret that the implementation of infrastructure SAF program implementation has been in accordance with the expected goals. 2. METHODOLOGY 2.1 Study Approach The method used in this research is descriptive method. According to Whitney (1960) in Nazir (1988:63), descriptive method is a fact finding with an accurate interpretation of the collected data. The study approach which is in line with the objective of the research is monitoring approach, i.e. a study approach commonly used to providing information about cause and effect of a policy (Dunn, W.N., 1994). This monitoring produces information on the description of the real activities that have been conducted. Data needed in this research is secondary data available at the regency/city that received the Infrastructure SAF. Those data had been collected from several years of observations, with the aim to producing a more valid and optimal analysis. Proceedings of the Eastern Asia Society for Transportation Studies, Vol.7, 2009 Analytical method used in this research is policy result monitoring method, i.e. a method of monitoring the outcome and impact of a program or activity, because the data which is being analyzed is the result (output and outcome) of a program or an evaluated activity. Some important issues that will be discussed are: 1. Distribution pattern of regencies/cities that receive the SAF associated with road network and the amount of SAF allocation. 2. Coefficients based on the correlation between areas of regency/city with the amount of SAF allocation. 3. Allocation effectiveness if the allocation is associated with the GDP of each regency/city. 2.2 Data Collection Method Data used in this study is secondary data, i.e.: • Non- Reforestation SAF data, especially Road Infrastructure SAF of 2003-2007. • Areas of regencies and cities. • GDRP of regencies and cities of 2003-2007. The data was collected from various sources, i.e., the SAF data from the Department of Finance (Directorate General of Budget and Directorate General of Fiscal Balance), irrigation and road data from the Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS) and the Department of Public Works. 3. THE RESULT OF INFRASTRUCTURE SAF IMPLEMENTATION 3.1 The Pattern of Regional Distribution based on SAF Allocation 3.1.1 The Pattern of Regional Distribution based on SAF Allocation in West Java Province The increase in the length of good condition roads is the objective of road infrastructure SAF allocation. Effective and efficient use of road infrastructure SAF allocation will have an impact on the increase in the length of good condition roads in the regency/city which received the SAF. Observations of the development of the length of good condition roads were conducted in the period of 5 years (2003 to 2007.) Observations were divided into 2 time periods, i.e. between 2003 and 2005 and between 2006 and 2007. This was done because SAF allocation was not distributed routinely in each regency/city in West Java Province in the year 2003 – 2005, whereas in the year 2006 - 2007 the SAF was distributed routinely to each regency/city. To get a visual description of the SAF allocation, the data presented can be seen in the figures below. Proceedings of the Eastern Asia Society for Transportation Studies, Vol.7, 2009 Proceedings of the Eastern Asia Society for Transportation Studies, Vol.7, 2009 The figures show that SAF allocation between 2003 and 2005 tended to be given to central and eastern regions of West Java, whereas between 2006 and 2007, SAF allocation was given to all regency/city in West Java Province. The amount of SAF allocation to each regency/city in West Java Province can be seen in the table below.

The Bandarudara Internasional Jawa Barat (BIJB) and Kertajati Aerocity are under construction and expected to be a center of economic activity supported by potential of natural resources and agriculture. They later will act as a driver of economic growth in West Java, especially for surrounding area such as Kertajati, Jatitujuh and Ligung Sub-districts. As an affect of the the development of BIJB and Kertajati Aerocity, the water demand of surrounding area will increase. Therefore an analysis of water demand and availability is needed. This research supports by analyzing the water balance, water demand, and also water allocation using WEAP (Water Evaluation and Planing) software tool. Water balance of Cimanuk-Tomo, Cimanuk-Monjot, and Cilutung-Dam Kamun river are analyzed, water demand of the three sub-districts are also projected and become the inputs of the water allocation model. The result of WEAP model simulation shows that the Cimanuk River can meet the water demand of the three sub-districts until 2040.

    THE INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF BUSINESS REVIEW (THE JOBS REVIEW), 2 (2), 2019, 107-120 Regional Typology Approach in Education Quality in West Java Based on Agricultural and Non-Agricultural Economic Structure Nenny Hendajany1, Deden Rizal2 1Program Studi Manajemen, Universitas Sangga Buana, Bandung, Indonesia 2Program Studi Keuangan Perbankan, Universitas Sangga Buana, Bandung, Indonesia Abstract. West Java is the province in Indonesia with the highest population and has a location close to the capital. However, the condition of education in West Java is generally still low. This is estimated because there are imbalances between districts / cities. The research objective is to get a clear picture of the condition of education in West Java by using secondary data issued by the Central Statistics Agency. The research method uses descriptive analysis, with analysis tools of regional typology. The division of regional typologies from the two indicators produces four regional terms, namely developed regions, developed regions constrained, potential areas to develop, and disadvantaged areas. Based on the indicators of education quality and life expectancy in 2017, from 27 municipal districts in West Java there were 33.3% in developed regions, 18.52% in developed regions were constrained, 7.4% in potential developing regions, and 40.74 % in disadvantaged areas. Bandung and Bekasi regencies are included in developed regions. While the cities of Banjar and Tasikmalaya include potential developing regions. Regional division with three indicators, namely the average length of school, Location Quation, and life expectancy. This division produces three filled quadrants. Quadrant I has 29.6%, quadrant III has 18.5%, and the remaining 51.9% is in quadrant IV.

  • Chapter I Introduction 1.1
    Chapter I Introduction 1.1. Background of Research Language plays an important role in human communication. Many people convey their ideas through language. Wardhaugh (1972: 3) says, “Language is a system of arbitrary vocal symbols used for human communication.” In this case, he defines language as the only means to communicate among people, not others. Although animals and trees can communicate each other, they cannot speak as human do. Generally, English becomes one of the significant subjects at school. Even, English is used by the students in several schools for communication. For this research, the writer conducts a study on the role of English at Senior High School in Tugu Indramayu West Java. Tugu has been chosen by the writer, because she knows that Tugu has a unique dialect in using regional language, this is called Indramayu dialect. As-sakienah Modern Boarding School is a bilingual school which uses Arabic and English for their educational language. Therefore, it has the jargon that English and Arabic are “the crown of the school”. Although the students use two languages, they still insert the pieces of other languages (Bahasa Indonesia and regional language) and mix those up in the language they used. Basically, the use of Bahasa Indonesia and regional language shall interfere the process of learning a foreign language. “To learn a new language is a very difficult task, as many people know, and in many ways it is even more difficult to learn a different 2 dialect of one’s own language – because they are so similar, it is difficult to keep them apart” (Trudgill, 1974: 74).

Budianto2 1Applied Infrastructure Post Graduate Program, Politeknik Negeri Bandung, Indonesia 2Department of Civil Engineering, Politeknik Negeri Bandung, Indonesia *Corresponding author. Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT Toll roads are currently one of the supporting factors for economic growth. So that if the function is slightly disturbed, obstacles will arise, which will hamper vehicle's journey using the toll road. Many factors hinder this toll road. One of the traffic obstacles is a flood disaster. Floods are also one of the biggest natural disasters in Indonesia. This study aims to calculate and assess the extent of flooding, which will impact toll roads. So that it can determine the impact and how to handle it. Applying the ten years returned rainfall periods, HEC_RAS simulation shows that the flood inundation area is 176.636,69 m2, including toll road areas. The hydraulic simulation also indicates that the flood inundation area can be reduced by adding two 3.5 x 4 meter Box Culvert, while to minimize the traffic disturbance during the construction period, it is recommended to apply microtunneling method. Keywords: Flood, Toll Road, HEC-RAS, Microtunnel. 1. INTRODUCTION decrease. Meanwhile, floods are also one of the most common natural disasters in Indonesia. Transportation is economic support for a region [1]. The road is one of the supports for the smooth operation Floods on toll roads also occur frequently in of land transportation.
