Mapping of the governance problem in the implementation of an unsolicited public-private partnership project (the case of Jatiluhur regional water supply phase I)

Governance instruments and their links to network relations are seen as principal elements of the success of PPP. The PPP implementation also deals with multi-level regulation. Jatiluhur Regional water supply is considered to have a governance complexity and potential to face various obstacles that will affect the smoothness of project implementation compared to others. Jatiluhur Regional water supply was initiated by a business entity (unsolicited), faced a setback in realization and was halted in the preparation of the procurement process so that the project had not yet reached financial close after two years. The research aims at identifying the governance problem of the Jatiluhur Regional water supply project implementation causing the delays. This is qualitative research using content analysis and Social Network Analysis (SNA). The gap on PPP regulations, some risks that have not been well mitigated, slow decision making, weaknesses of local governments and off-takers roles in the network, the problem of determining the Government as the Contracting Agency (GCA), mapping of ownership conflicts and actor distrust of GCA competency are the problems of governance found in the case of Jatiluhur regional water supply implementation. In order to accelerate the project implementation, this study suggests the optimization of multi-level governance by, first, revising the PPP Regulations in terms of further explaining the unsolicited project of PPP and the criteria in the determination of GCA. Further, the optimization requires determination of the new GCA in strengthening the role of actors in coordination and decision making, as well as in risk mitigation and latent conflict management. Jatiluhur regional water supply project is also known as the first regional water supply using the PPP scheme in Indonesia. Therefore, the multi-level governance perspective of the PPP implementation can be seen as a precedent for the next project of water supply infrastructure in Indonesia which uses PPP scheme.

Smart manufacturing adoption in supporting technologies infrastructure in Indonesia: The case of South Sulawesi SMEs

This paper aims to give a unique view of looking at how SMEs in Indonesia applying the concept of smart manufacturing along with the challenges of smart manufacturing adoption in supporting technologies infrastructure in Indonesia and its current implementation. There are several challenges that were identified through the smart manufacturing adoption in Indonesia. The manufacturing industry has a great contribution to developing countries such as Indonesia. It is considered as the engine power for Indonesia’s economic growth. Moreover, by considering the value of SMEs in Indonesia, this research puts more attention on smart manufacturing implementation on SMEs. This study provides two cases from SMEs based on the SMEs scale and measuring their productivity from using the traditional method and after adopting the technology used on their business operations. The two cases indicate that the firms have an awareness of the importance of smart manufacturing implementation and its effect to the performance of the firm. However, direct migration to an advanced cyber-physical manufacturing system is not a practical option for the firms.

Analysis the use of steel slag as a replacement of natural aggregate in the asphalt concrete binder course (AC-BC) mixture

Aggregates are the largest component of the flexible pavement structure. The quality of the road is largely determined by the nature and type of aggregates used. Currently, the development of road infrastructure in Indonesia continues to experience increasing amount of natural aggregate use, so this will cause the availability of natural aggregate raw materials to continue to thin out. For that reason, an effort should be made to find alternatives to the use of natural aggregates, one of which is the utilization of steel slag. In this study, it will be examined the characteristics of the steel slag aggregates by referring to the 2018 Bina Marga specifications and the Marshall characteristic test method. This study used steel slag addition with variations of 0%, 50%, 80% and 100%. The results obtained in this study are that the value characteristics of the slag aggregate meet the standard specifications. The use of steel slag at 80% variation in coarse aggregate produces the best stability value which is equal to 2320,19 Kg. Overall, the use of steel slag can be an alternative to the use of natural aggregates. Moreover, steel slag can also be an alternative to an effort to reduce waste.

An Experimental Study of Infrastructure Configuration for Improving AIS Coverage Area

In 2002 the International Maritime Organization (IMO) issued Regulation 19 and Annex 17, which requires the Automatic Identification System (AIS) to be installed on every ship with a size of 300 gross tonnages and above. One potential use of AIS as an assistance for anti-collision devices. AIS is not only to be installed on the ship but also can be installed on the shore and act as a base station. Hence, the monitoring of vessel traffic can be done by this base station. Indonesia is an archipelagic country with more than 17,000 islands spread over the country and also known as the second longest coastline in the world at 108,000 km. This paper aims to give some ideas on the establishment of land-based monitoring system infrastructure in Indonesia. Main Base Station (MBS) is used for AIS data storage, AIS data integration and processing in the core while Remote Base Station (RBS) is used for receiving AIS data from ships and then sent to MBS. In general, RBS uses two antenna are omnidirectional and yagi directional, each antenna will connect the AIS receiver. According to this configuration, the coverage of MBS is limited to 100 km into the sea from land. To increase the coverage area, a modification was done by adding several types of antennas and applying into the MBS and RBS integration system. The modification shows that the number of RBS to be installed to cover the same coverage area can be reduced. The MBS and RBS integration are not only covered the Surabaya but also Rembang, Semarang, Cilacap, Cirebon, Jakarta and Cilegon. The result of integration is the total ship each day for almost North Java Island and one place in South Java Island is 507 ship and average ship each day is 240.

AKTUALISASI KEBIJAKAN CHINA ONE BELT AND ONE ROAD DI INDONESIA MELALUI PEMBANGUNAN KERETA CEPAT JAKARTA-BANDUNG

Pada tahun 2013, China dibawah kepemimpinan Presiden Xi Jinping mengumumkan tentang kebijakan One Belt and One Road (OBOR)yang bertujuan untuk meresturkturisasi ekonomi di kawasan Eropa dan Asia.Selain itu OBOR merupakan kebijakan China guna membangun infrastruktur yang membantu untuk melancarkan serta memajukan perdagangan internasional berbasis darat maupun laut. Indonesia merupakan salah satu negara di kawan Asia yang memiliki hubungan yang sangat baik dengan China, yang mana sudah 70 tahun Indonesia telah menjalin hubungan diplomatik dengan China. Indonesia ikut serta dalam mengimplementasikan kebijakan China OBOR dikarenakan banyaknya infrastruktur di Indonesia yang kurang memadai guna mendukung perdagangan antar negara. Adapun yang menjadi alasan keikutsertaan Indonesia bahwa pemerintah Indonesia memiliki keterbatasan anggaran negara untuk melakukan pembangunan infrastruktur. Oleh karena itu, pemerintah Indonesia memutuskan menerima pinjaman dana dari China untuk pembangunan infratstruktur khususnya terkait proyek kerjasama pembangunan kereta cepat dari Jakarta sampai Bandung. Melalui pengilementasian kebijakan OBOR tersebut dalam proyek pembangunan kereta cepat Jakarta-Bandung diharapkan dapat meningkatkan daya saing perdagangan dalam negeri bahkan dengan infrastruktur yang memadai akan mendukung peningkatan daya saing Indonesia pada tingkatan internasional.

Compressive strength and permeability of concrete by using GGBFS against seawater

One of the causes of cracked reinforced concrete in the seawater environment is direct contact between concrete and sea water. This is because cement as a binding material in concrete does not have a good ability to withstand corrosive conditions in seawater. Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GGBFS) which in this case is B3 waste can be a solution. From several studies conducted previously, the behaviour of GGBFS concrete against sulfate and chloride attacks showed positive results but relatively little is known about GGBFS material produced by steel mills in Indonesia. Therefore, an experimental study of the characteristics of compressive strength and permeability test using GGBFS (0%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, and 60%) with 72 concrete cylinders in 28 and 40 days. Microstructure of GGBFS concrete test using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) was also studied. The result of this experimental study is GGBFS microstructure, compressive strength and concrete permeability for better effectiveness concrete in seawater, so that it can become one of the alternative solutions for infrastructure development especially for seawater infrastructure in Indonesia.

Analysis of safety cost structure in infrastructure project of cable stayed bridge based on Work Breakdown Structure (WBS)

The development of infrastructure in Indonesia is currently quite massive, in accordance with the Government of Indonesia’s policy in accelerating infrastructure developments. However, along with the increase in the construction sector, work accidents in the construction sector also increased. Cable Stayed Bridge is one of the excellent technologies in connecting islands but has a high potensial hazards and risks and it can cause fatal accidents. Accidents can be prevented through a good occupational safety and health management system (OHSMS). The application of OHSMS financing in Indonesian construction sector, especially in the cable stayed bridge has not been clearly and measurably regulated. In its implementation, the existing regulations have not yet been fully followed by the construction actors. This study aims is to develop the safety cost based on Work Breakdown Structure (WBS). The research method are survey research and descriptive analysis. The study results are the cable stayed bridge standardized WBS, potential hazard sources, the preventive action to each potential hazards in each activity, finding the safety cost components based on WBS and the calculation of safety cost percentage in order to improve the OHSMS quality and reducing work accidents in the cable stayed bridge projects.

Understanding Tax Amnesty and Tax Compliance in Indonesia: an Institutional Approach

This study was motivated by one of President Joko Widodo’s projects, which is to build better infrastructure in Indonesia. Tax amnesty is used as a way of receiving undeclared assets expecting that Indonesia revenues will increase. This study focuses on the perception of both tax consultants and taxpayers. The interview was conducted to explore the points of interest as it was being developed. The analysis was done using institutional theory, analysis and discussion on their behavior towards tax amnesty are given based on the result of the research. This research uses interpretivism perspective to examine the meaning created by a human that differentiate human from physical phenomena. The data were collected from secondary data, archival data and complemented with semi-structured interviews. The finding suggests three themes associated with institutionalization of taxpayer compliance, namely rules and regulation, political economy, and social powers. These themes generate pressures on coercive isomorphism, as well as normative isomorphism. The result suggests establishing synergy and a dialectical process between the tax authorities and the taxpayer in conducting coaching, monitoring and fair enforcing of law to support taxpayer compliance.

Legal Politic in Providing Infrastructure in Indonesia, is Human Right Still Have Any Places?

Indonesia government has put a lot of efforts to fix infrastructure for strengthening the economy. This can be seen from the increasing amount of infrastructure budgeting in 2015 which up to 290 trillion. As a state law, certainly every government effort must be based on legal instruments in the form of legislation. From the various regulations that governing the providing infrastructure, normatively there are various material content of norms that truly potential to violate the human rights. For example the presidential regulations number 58 of 2017 concerning the acceleration of the Implementation National Strategic Projects is stating that the location of national strategic projects which not in accordance with spatial layout, can be given some recommendation about the spatial layout suitability with the location of strategic project from Agrarian Minister, and also from the head of National Land Agency. Another problem that arises from the act of providing infrastructure is agrarian conflict which blooms due to the procurement of land for public interest which is legalized through the regulation. Ironically there are numbers of ambivalence policies in Indonesian government, which comes together with the high amount of land conflict, forced evictions for plantation and infrastructure projects. These credible data, shows the genuine dilemma from Indonesian government, because on one side there are efforts to develop infrastructure to strengthen the economy, but on the other side the development actually undermines the recognition of human rights in Indonesia. And finally the main problem wanted to be resolved is why the kind of legal politics that not come by prioritizing the protection of human rights in infrastructure development can be accommodated through the regulations? This research uses doctrinal type research, in order to elaborate theories, to reveal the real meaning and the right purpose of legal politic in providing infrastructure in Indonesia.

Strategy to Use Local Government’s Facebook Page to Improve Public Services

The population of internet users in Indonesia increase continuously form year to year along with the development of information technology infrastructure in Indonesia. This underlies the management of social media in the government agencies. The government sector could communicated with the citizens through social media such as Facebook as a form of direct communication to disseminate information for the citizens. Through current government social media accounts, it could be seen that the posting of official government Facebook account were still rare. Based on existing studies, it has not yet been reviewed the relationship of post and comment categorization on Facebook to improve the government's Facebook management strategy and public service improvement strategy. Therefore, this study was conducted so that the results could help the local government to maximize the management of Facebook accounts to be right on target, provide trustful information, and get a good response from the citizens. There were 30 Local Government Facebook accounts that have been analysed, resulting number of statuses and comment ranks in last 2 months. Then performing frequency analysis on 30-often-used words which will be used as a trigger to categorize. The results of the study are in the form of strategic suggestions for local governments to improve the content of each category through Facebook. Local governments are suggested to convey information from many aspects in a balanced manner in accordance with the needs of the citizens.

Opposition to privatized infrastructure in Indonesia

For decades multilateral organizations have led efforts to privatize infrastructure in developing economies, where the policy has generated considerable controversy. A prominent line of thinking suggests that local officials oppose privatization in order defend their material interests, and thus vested interests are what ultimately hinders institutional change. This article argues, however, that the private interests of local officials should not be assumed. Their objections need to be placed in the specific context of long struggles over the role of the private sector in development, exogenous-induced institutional change, sectoral governance, and moderately successful public sector performance. By adopting a constructivist vantage point that focuses on the role of ideas and the delinking of subjective interests from objective ones, we observe that public officials define what constitutes success differently than what a standard neoliberal analysis would yield. These insights are drawn from a longitudinal case study of the tollway sector in Indonesia.

Pemasaran Kebijakan Politik Luar Negeri Sebagai Diplomasi Presiden Jokowi Untuk Menarik Investor Asing di Indonesia

This paper wants to explain about Foreign Policy Marketing as President Jokowi's diplomacy to attract foreign investors. As we know, the Indonesian state from a geographical aspect has a very large area consisting of hundreds or even thousands of islands and straits. But the extent of the Indonesian territory has not been balanced with economic development such as infrastructure in all regions of Indonesia. This study aims to analyze the policies of President Jokowi in inviting foreign investors to invest directly in Indonesia and see the effect of foreign direct investment on foreign direct investment (FDI) on economic growth in Indonesia. The method used in this research is Qualitative Descriptive. The results or findings of this study indicate that the Marketing of Foreign Political Policy conducted by President Jokowi to attract foreign investors in Indonesia is through the economic Diplomacy Way and providing legal certainty for Foreign Investors investing in Indonesia and Foreign Investment can improve Infrastructure in Indonesia.

Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP ) Implementation in D etermining Document E valuation C riteria of Post Qualification E Tendering Knockout P hase

The development of a country is directly proportioned to its growing infrastructure needs. One of the most needed infrastructure in Indonesia is medical facility. The construction of public hospital especially in its tendering phase needs to refer to the stated presidential decree that includes a specific rule and policy. The tender process needs to be done carefully to ensure the most beneficial offer is selected. This research will utilize e-tendering method to select the right construction partner. The criteria for the tender requirement will be chosen with the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) which finally would be evaluated to determine the tender winner. AHP should help to elaborate the problem into multiple complex criteria, forming a hierarchy. The AHP implementation requires primary data from questionnaire and secondary data from existing research and policies. AHP calculation process is then used to process the data in the form of scores from the distributed questionnaire. The result of the AHP calculation was used to evaluate each offer from the goods and services providers, while finally done using the method of knockout by passing grade. The dominant factors that influenced the final decision making includes financial power (30.79%), Materials and equipments (8.55%), health and safety (4.59%), technical competence (8.91%), and experience (2.9%). AHP was proven to be very effective when utilized to evaluate e-tendering offer documents
