Evaluating The Integrated Environmental Management Of Municipal Solid Waste In Osaka City, Japan
Get PDFMany state-of-the-art concepts and technologies on managing MSW have been developed for years. However, in Indonesia, the practice may still be insufficient because of the institutional capacity issue. This study aimed to evaluate the integrated environmental management for municipal solid waste in Osaka City, Japan. Method in use was descriptive analysis by literature review using official document “Environmental Management in Osaka City for Fiscal Year 1999” by Osaka City Environmental Bureau. Result showed Osaka City was adopting and modifying the Integrated Solid Waste Management (ISWM) suggested by Tchobanoglous et al. [1993] hierarchically using “Waste Reduction Principles” and establishing “Environmental Management Bureau” to handle the integrated solid waste management practice. More importantly, the implementation of ISWM was completely supported by the central government by law which was The Waste Disposal and Public Cleaning Law and by regulation which was the task distribution among central, prefectural and municipal government in managing the solid waste. These approaches were proven to be effectively implemented from top to bottom level thus should be recommended to the government of Indonesia

An annotated bibliography on geographic information systems applications in developing countries
No full textGeographic Information Systems (GIS) are needed to assist national development because GIS can manipulate and analyze geographically-referenced data to support the decision making process of an organization. A problem faced in developing countries is that decision making is not always based on integrated information.This annotated bibliography is compiled for three reasons:1. The lack of GIS research in developing countries.2. Although GIS are potentially useful, because of the limited amount of publish ed research, there is little information available about GIS applications. Thisbibliography presents relevant publications to remedy this deficiency.3. It is believed that geographic information systems in developing countriesneed to be improved to facilitate the use of the integrated, comprehensive in formation to assist the country's development.This bibliography summarizes GIS procedures in general and GIS on selected countries: Costa Rica, Argentina, India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and Indonesia
Water resources of the Chad Basin Region
No full textRiver basin development is seen as a very effective means of improving agricultural productivity. In the Chad Basin area of the Sahelian Zone of the West African Sub-Region, the water resources have been harnessed to ensure viable agricultural programmes for Nigeria. However,the resultant successes have met by many problems that range from physical to socio-economic and of which water losses have been the most threatening. The study has called for the use of Hexa.deconal (C1-OH) film on the water surface of the Chad as a means of reducing evaporation
Factors limiting industrial development in peripheral regions of developing countries: a case study of kedah state, peninsular Malaysia
No full textMany developing countries, Malaysia included, have relied quite heavily on the policy of industrial decentralization to uplift the lagging economies of their peripheral regions. In Malaysia, the Malaysian Industrial Development Authorithy (MIDA) - a federal agency - plays a major role in persuading foreign enterprises to locate in the periphery. In addition to MIDA there are plethora of state agencies which implement state industrial policy. Development officials, in their effort to attract more industries to their respective regions, work on the premise that certain locational factors are critical to investors locational decision- making process. Obviously, development officials have their own perceptions of the attractions and disadvantages of the periphery. This paper (a) examines whether the officials have a good grasp of the industrialists dominant motives for selecting Kedah as production location, and (b) discusses the implications for industrial development if officials assumptions do not concur with industrialists real reasons for selecting Kedah location
The present and the Archaic River Valley morphology and groundwater condition in the Plaosan Temple complex Central Java-Indonesia
No full textThe Plaosan Temple which was built during the eighth and tenth century AD is one of four temple complexes in the Prambanan area, Central Java-Indonesia. On going excavation in the temple complex discloses the occurrence of canals along the outer fences. The canals are eight meters wide and four meters deep. This article aims at reconstructing archaic river course and groundwater condition due to the construction of the canals. Aerial photo interpretation, excavation, ground water level measurement and valley morphology measurement reveal an anomaly of the nearest river in the temple complex. The river had seemingly been bypassed south-eastward to its tributary just before entering Plaosan Temple complex. Groundwater level dropped and its flow direction changed from nearly southward to south-eastward direction. These phenomena indicate that the canals were groundwater-discharged canals
The spatial patterns of Korean investments and their effects on regional development in Indonesia until 1998
No full textKorean investment in the ASEAN Region has grown tremendously during the last three decades, following the importance of Japanese investment in the same region. This is partly due to a favorable domestic growth in the Korean economy as stimulated by a successful agricultural reform and rural development on which industrialization takes place. Korea transformed itself from an underdeveloped, agricultural-based economy, into an industrialized country in Asia only within a very short span of time.This paper is aimed at assessing the spatial patterns and effects of Korean investment in Indonesian regional development before to the crisis. To achieve this general objective, an account on the general pattern of Korean investment is discussed from global level, Asia, ASEAN and Indonesia. Finally, an account for the spatial patterns and effects of Korean investment on regional development in Indonesia is presented.The paper is based on secondary data analysis. Data are gathered from various websites related to foreign investment in Indonesia as well as publications of various government organization for the spatial patterns and impacts of Korean investment. Data are analyzed using a simple descriptive statistics and thematic mapping.The research reveals that Korean investments in the world are mainly directed to USA, Europe and Southeast Asia. Southeast Asian Region has been the most important destination of Korean investment in the last three decades due to the availability of cheaper labor force, abundant natural resources, and favorable climate for investment and with little exception political stability. Recent investments are also directed to more capital intensive and more advance technology, thus facilitating the transfer of technology_ The distribution of Korean investment in Indonesia as any other foreign investments tends to be clustering in the surrounding areas of Jakarta, known as the Bogor, Tangerang; Bekasi (BOTABEK) Region where some 65 percent of foreign investment is located.. The effects of Korean investment on regional development at national level in Indonesia are very limited, but there is a substantial effect on the regional production structure, economic growth and employment generation at local-regional level, more especially in the main industrial agglomeration of the BOTABEK Region
Ten Year Groundwater Simulation in Merapi Aquifer, Sleman, DIY, Indonesia
No full textSimulation of groundwater withdrawal has been conducted with a groundwater modeling system (GMS) version 3.1 software at a regional scale. The simulation was conducted from ten year groundwater withdrawal data in Merapi Aquifer, DIY, Indonesia, for two assumed scenarios, with an emphasis in Sleman area. The result for the ten year groundwater simulation was conducted spatially distributed in the Merapi Aquifer after the steady state simulation was reached. With two different types of transient simulations, the total withdrawal of 28,968 m3/day for the whole Merapi Aquifer is still acceptable with caution, as long as the . recharge is not decreasing. However, less withdrawal as the existing withdrawal condition is recommended until local site investigation is sufficient to avoid the danger of overdraft
Financing Public Transit Systems In Kuala Lumpur: Challenges And Prospects
No full textPrioritizing public tramjport in large cities requires huge amount of money.In Kuala Lumpur for example, public transport services are relatively poor and inefficient due in part to the inability by the major operators to mobilize ample investment capital. Besides, the new funding systems such as the Public Transportation Trust Fund (PTTF) may not be able to solve the problem because they are still unclear and incoherent. Other key challenges are: lack of a pro-transit policy. rapid motorization. urban decentralization as well as dependence on farerevenue and banks to fund new investments. CrucianF. due to the poor design of private rail concessions, government intervention has been inevitable
