Spatial Spillover Impact of Sectoral Government Expenditure on Poverty Alleviation in South Kalimantan Province
Get PDFPoverty is still one of the forefront issues in developing countries. It could hamper the achievement ofsustainable development goals, thereby triggering a recurring call on the government's role in mitigatingpoverty. This paper contributed to the debate on the role of sectoral government spending under thefiscal decentralization policy to combat poverty. Using a case study in South Kalimantan Province, weemployed a spatial panel data analysis covering 13 districts from 2010-2020. This study investigated thepresence of spatial dependency on poverty and the spatial spillover impact of government expenditure—education, health, housing, public facilities, and social protection—on poverty. The research found theexistence of spatial autocorrelation on poverty and the significant high-cluster poverty in the agriculture-based region. The direct estimation from the Spatial Durbin Model uncovered that governmentexpenditure on education, health, and social protection significantly alleviated poverty, while housing andpublic facilities expenditure remained insignificant in reducing the poverty rate. Besides, educationspending also has a significant indirect effect on poverty, indicating the spatial spillover impact ofeducation spending by the neighbors on poverty in a region
The Challenges of Physical Special Allocation Fund (SAF) Planning for Sustainable Economic Infrastructure Provision
Get PDFThe paper aimed to examine the relationship between central and regional plan documents, the relevance of the Physical SAF menu to regional development, and how relevant the Physical SAF menu was to the Thematic Assignment of Sustainable Economic Infrastructure Provision (SEIP) to support regional priorities. A quantitative method was used for the analysis. It was carried out in a desk study with content analysis to track the 2021 Physical SAF policy for the assignment of SEIP in the Government Work Plan (GWP) and regional priorities of the Provincial Government Work Plan (PGWP). The results of the planning level analysis showed that there are still some irrelevant Physical SAF policies to the regional priorities for the themes of Tourism, Roads, Small and Medium Industries (SMEs), and the Environment. There are still many plans and activities for the Physical SAF not included in the provincial government's planning, thus affecting the implementation quality
Low Carbon Emission Shrimp Farming Development Model
Get PDFShrimp is a vastly strategic aquaculture commodity in Indonesia, most of which is produced for the export market; hence, competitiveness is the main key in the industry. With the increasing productivity of a shrimp farming area, the regulation for establishing a shrimp culture area needs to be strictly managed, including reducing carbon emissions. The management of aquaculture areas needs to pay attention to the principle of sustainability and consider carbon dynamics. This paper contains a descriptive analysis of the literature related to the substance of the study. The carbon dynamics in aquaculture areas consist of potential sources of carbon emitted and potential sinks or carbon that can be absorbed and stored. By structuring the shrimp pond area, aquaculture engineering, the application of good aquaculture practices and use of alternative energy sources, during the shrimp farming process in ponds, the carbon emission can be minimized, and the carbon sink can be increased. Our recommendation suggests that analysis of land suitability, environmental carrying capacity and carbon dynamics in each shrimp pond area are exceptionally required to be conducted to assess land suitability as a low carbon emission shrimp farming area. Furthermore, to increase farmers' understanding and awareness of the sustainability of the practices, pilot areas for low-emission shrimp ponds need to be developed
A New Paradigm of Literacy: A Book Review of Literacy and Education
Get PDFThe industrial revolution is a term to label industrial development from era to era. The first phase started in the early 18th century and has now entered the fourth phase, or 4.0. Davies (2015) stated that the 1.0 industrial revolution began with the use of steam engines and machines to replace human force. In the 2.0 industrial revolution, steam engines were replaced by electrical production machines as mass production engines. The 3.0 industrial phase was characterized by the emergence of computers in the 1970s. Finally, the rapid development of interconnected technology, sensor, and data analysis became the signs of the 4.0 industrial revolution emergence. The development has impacted conventional industries in the form of digitalization. Online transportation mode is one of the most prominent impacts of the fourth industrial revolution. This phase also creates massive shifts in many sectors, such as the use of video calls, fingerprints, and face scanners as security locks, social media to connect people from all around the world, and the digitalization of books, magazines, and journal
How to Cope With Strategic Infrastructure Disparities in West Java? (A Post-Pandemic Economic Recovery Analysis )
Get PDFThe availability of energy and telecommunication facilities has been claimed as two strategic infrastructures supporting the West Java economy during and the post-pandemic. However, researchers found that the West Java electricity and telecommunication infrastructure is inter-regionally inequitable. This paper aims to identify the recent electrical energy access of households and the existing condition of telecommunication infrastructure; to configure the investment data in the last five years, and to analyze the opportunities and challenges of investment, and development of electricity and telecommunication network in the future. This research uses the Desk Study method by collecting primary data from bureaucrats and secondary data from relevant Government agencies. The results show that electricity and telecommunications infrastructure conditions in West Java are still unequal between the Northern and Southern regions, particularly in terms of electrification ratio, cellular phone signal strength, and internet signal quality. Furthermore, investment in West Java was very unequal, with about two-thirds of foreign and domestic investment in Bekasi and Karawang districts in the last-five-years. This study formulates recommendations for policy in the investment, electricity, and telecommunications sectors in dealing with interregional infrastructure development disparities as well as economic challenges during and after the pandemic
Can Agropolitan Promise Prosperity and Sustainability?
Get PDFThis paper aims to formulate development strategies for agribusiness and agroindustry areas in Kawasan Agropolitan Sendang (KAS) as a development priority area in Tulungagung. It provided alternative KAS development strategies to overcome some obstacles over the last 16 years. Since KAS is one of the national priority development objects, further studies are required to determine the best development planning formulation. The methodology used in this research is a case study method with three analyses, policy analysis, analysis of environmental conditions, and SWOT analysis. The results show that KAS needs to develop the hinterlands and cooperate in providing infrastructures such as banking institutions, markets, and road networks. Farmer groups need to participate in empowerment programs on skill training and improving the quality of innovative and creative agropolitan product standardization and counseling on socio-economic fluctuations that impact people's lifestyles and behavior
Strategic Programs to Accelerate Competency Development of Construction Workers
Get PDFThe quality of infrastructure highly depends on the availability of qualified, reliable, and competent and certified construction workers as stipulated in Law No. 2 of 2017. Based on the Survei Angkatan Kerja Nasional or SAKERNAS (National Labor Force Survey) conducted by Badan Pusat Statistik or BPS (Statistics Indonesia) in 2021, there are 8,293,769 million construction workers, of which less than 10% have competency certificates. This study aimed to explore the strategies for accelerating the certification of construction workers. A descriptive method with a qualitative approach was used by reviewing and observing existing data from the Ministry of Public Works and Housing, Statistics Indonesia, and Construction Services Development Agency. It was found that certification can be accelerated by establishing Certification Agency for Profession (LSP), re-branding and modernizing SIBIMA Construction services, maintaining the quality of experts through continuous professional programs (PKB), and implementing Link & Match to synchronize competency with the needs of the construction industry. It can be concluded that there has been a rise in the number of certified workers but the figures are far from the ideal target. Several factors contributed to this condition, such as lack of finance, synchronization and data harmonization, lack of synergy among the stakeholders in construction services, and lack of technology adoption and information on government policies about training and certification of construction workers. 
Indonesian Gastronomy (Volumes 1 and 2)
Get PDFThe books “Indonesian Gastronomy Volumes 1 and 2,” written by Professor Murdijati-Gardjito and colleagues, are interesting because they are among the first gastronomic books authored by experts in Food Science and Technology. While representing a coherent work, the two volumes focus on different aspects. The first one explains aspects of Indonesian culinary history at the national and global levels, including the changes that have taken place in the contemporary era. The second volume pays attention to the technical aspects of physical changes and chemical reactions in the food-making process. Volume 2 also describes Indonesian cuisine based on geographical location and ethnic affiliation
Gender Wage Gap: Evidence from Employment in Informal Sector
Get PDFThe gender wage gap is still a common phenomenon in many developing countries, especially in the informal sector. As opposed to the formal sector, the gender wage gap seems more adverse in the informal sector, where women are often in unfavourable situations to lessen the substantial wage gap between them and men. This study examined the gender earnings gap from the lower level to the upper level of the wage distribution in informal sector employment using the Indonesian National Labor Survey in 2019. While the Oaxaca-Blinder method only looked at the wage gap from the differences in mean values, this research used the Recentered Influence Function (RIF) to reveal the gaps in the wage distribution. The research found the presence of a weak sticky floor effect across the wage distribution. The gender earnings gap decreased as we moved from the lower wage distribution to the upper wage distribution. Furthermore, the structure effect or unexplained factors contributed to the most prominent share of the gap that forms the wage difference for the entirety of the wage distribution, ranging from 70 per cent. Having examined the individual characteristics, education was found to be the most prominent factor that can help narrow the gap
