Peran Biro Kesejahteraan Rakyat Sekretariat Daerah Provinsi Jawa Timur Sebagai Fasilitator Operasional Organisasi Kemasyarakatan

The People's Welfare Bureau has a role in increasing social awareness through policy formulation in the fields of spiritual mental development, basic service people's welfare and non-basic service people's welfare. In implementing the distribution of grant aid, the East Java Regional Secretariat's People's Welfare Bureau is the institution tasked with administering administrative matters. The People's Welfare Bureau is a facilitator for community organizations, one of which is supporting operational vehicles for community organizations. However, in practice, the role as a facilitator still has obstacles in the administration process. The research method used is a qualitative method which aims to determine the role of the People's Welfare Bureau as an operational facilitator of community organizations and to find solutions to the problems mentioned above. The research results show that the flow of submissions, procurement and accountability is quite good. However, there are still obstacles related to the special conditions for applying for grant funds as well as regulations regarding the letter of accountability for the applicant's responsibility to the provincial government, which is a weakness in terms of accountability for the circulation of grant funds. Therefore, the aim of this research is not only to find out the role of the Welfare Bureau as a facilitator but also to find solutions to answer existing problems related to improving disbursement flow, the implications of which can lead not only to administration, but also to increasing effectiveness and efficiency.

Cost Analysis and Method Comparison on High-Rise Building Column Formworks by Three Formwork Methods

The purpose of this study was to determine how much cost would be incurred and to analyse the difference in price by using three formworks’ methods, they are: the conventional method (According to Ministry Guide Num 1 Year 2022 and PT. Hutama Karya), the System Method with Multiplex and with phenolic film materials (According to Ministry Guide Num 1 Year 2022 and PT. Hutama Karya). This paper also included the analysis of using aluminium formwork method, but it was not the focus of this research. This analysis will also express the advantages and disadvantages of each of these methods. Data used for this research was obtained from shop drawing and calculations provided by PT. Hutama Karya (shortened as PT HK), with the prices for materials and wages for the West Java Region gathered from the Unit Price Journal. For cost estimation (calculation), the Ministry Guide Number 1 Year 2022 was used as guidance. The results of this analysis showed that the formwork with “system” Method using Phenolic film is the most economical formwork method in this study, this is because the type of formwork can be used not only multiple times, but also in buildings with varied column types.

Response of Vermicompost and Urea Combination Fertilizer Doses on the Growth and Yield of Scallion Plants (Allium fistulosum L.)

Leeks (Allium fistulosum L.) are short-lived horticultural crops and have great commercial potential. The productivity of leeks in Indonesia, especially in the East Java region, is experiencing fluctuations, this is due to the problem of decreasing soil fertility. The use of inorganic fertilizers is one of the causes of decreasing soil fertility where the use of inorganic fertilizers in Indonesia reached 105.22 kg/ha, being the highest use compared to several countries in Southeast Asia. Therefore, I offer a solution to this problem, namely by combining the use of inorganic fertilizer with organic fertilizer, for this you can use urea fertilizer and vermicompost fertilizer, where vermicompost fertilizer has advantages compared to other compost fertilizers in terms of complete content starting from microorganisms, growth hormones, and nutrients. The aim of the research I conducted was to determine the interaction of applying urea fertilizer and vermicompost on the growth and yield of leek plants (Allium fistulosum L). The research was conducted at the Green House using a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with 2 factors, each of which had 3 levels and was repeated 3 times to obtain 27 plant units. The first factor was a vermicompost dose of 0 g/polybag, 75 g/polybag, and 150 g/polybag, while the second factor was a urea dose of 0 g/polybag, 1 g/polybag, and 2 g/polybag. The experimental results showed that the best dose for the combined interaction of vermicompost and urea fertilizer treatment was 75 g/polybag vermicompost and 2 g/polybag urea to increase the number of leaves and height of leek plants.

Abdurrahman Wahid (Gus Dur) are planned to be 171 parking spaces for motorcycles, 54 parking spaces for cars, and 53 parking spaces for buses.

Digital Campaign Dysfunction in Indonesian Regional Election During the COVID-19 Pandemic

The 2020 Simultaneous Regional Elections in Indonesia during the COVID-19 pandemic caused digital campaigns to become the most viable alternative amidst health protocol restrictions. Preliminary data shows that the use of digital for political campaigns was not optimal. The readiness of candidates and voters to enter the digital campaign era is interesting for further analysis. This article aims to understand the campaign practices of candidates in the digital space during the pandemic, as well as analyze the readiness of candidates and voters in the digital campaign. Qualitative case study research was conducted using a holistic multi-case design in three regions in Central Java, Indonesia. Data collection was carried out by observing candidates' social media, as well as interviews with campaigners. The research results show that the digital campaign was a "forced" situation, not a creative idea of the candidates. The digital space has yet to become an effective public sphere for discussing candidate ideas and programs with voters. The lack of public engagement with campaigns in the digital space shows that a digital political habitus has yet to be formed in society. As a result, digital campaign dysfunction occurs when candidates and voters are not well connected in effective political communication, even though both are in the digital space.

Analysis of Factors Influencing Community Participation in Sustainable Forest Management in BKPH Mojorayung, Madiun

The success of sustainable forest management is inseparable from community participation as the leading actor in the Social Forestry Program. Various factors, including internal factors from the community and external factors, affect the participation of the community. Factors impacting community participation in sustainable forest management were analyzed in this study. The study was conducted at BKPH Mojorayung, KPH Madiun, East Java Regional Division Perum Perhutani, from April to June 2022, using a survey method with 242 randomly selected respondents. Partial Least Squares (PLS) analysis was conducted with the SmartPLS software. Based on the results, it was found that three factors impact the community's participation in forest management: the empowerment process accuracy, the role of community empowerment workers, and the support of group leaders. The characteristics of the communities around the forest did not affect community participation in forest management. Community participation also affects the sustainability of forests.

Optimizing biomass supply for cofiring at power plants to minimize environmental impact: A case of oil palm empty fruit bunches in West Java

This study addresses the supply flow optimization to reduce global warming in a cofiring system, using the example of oil palm empty fruit bunches converted into pellets for use in power plants in Indonesia. Four oil palm mills, seven pellet plants and five coal power plants in the West Java Region were considered in this study to select the optimal supply chain. The study was performed using a life cycle assessment (LCA) for evaluating impact of single firing of coal and linear programming (LP) for optimizing the impact reduction of cofiring of coal and pellets. Our study indicates that the optimal environmental reduction can be achieved by constructing six of the seven pellet plants, which can substitute up to 1 % of the coal supply in five power plants. Accordingly, the emissions could be decreased by an average of 0.018 kg CO2eq/kWh for the power plants, which is equal to 0.2 Mt CO2eq/y or a 1.57 % reduction per year. By varying the emission factor of the pellet plants, our analysis showed a tolerable range in which the supply would not be affected. The sensitivity analysis at a 1 % cofiring rate showed that the increase in biomass supply from the oil palm mills had the highest reduction, whereas the reduction in transportation emissions provided much less impact. By adjusting the cofiring rate, the impact would not change after the 3 % cofiring rate because of the limited availability of Empty Fruit Bunch (EFB) feedstock. However, if sufficient supply could be provided, the environmental impact would be further reduced significantly. Furthermore, the scenario expansion indicated that only three pellet plants would be required for the minimum economic scale of production, although the environmental impact increased by 0.47 % compared to using six pellet plants. Therefore, this study can be used to determine the optimal supply chain scenarios by constructing an appropriate number of economically feasible pellet plants according to the biomass demand and cofiring rate of the power plant.

Moderation of Self-Regulatory Efficacy between Leader-Member Exchange and Procedural Justice on Workplace Deviance Behavior at Perum BULOG West Java Region

Based on resource allocation theory and cognitive social theory, this study examines the effects of self-regulatory efficacy of leader-member exchange and procedural justice on the deviant behavior of 155 employees at Perum BULOG, West Java Region. Researchers did not find a significant correlation between leader-member exchange and workplace deviance behavior. Similarly, the results show that procedural justice does not correlate with workplace deviance behavior. The researchers also did not find that self-regulatory efficacy could moderate the correlation between leader-member exchange and workplace deviance behavior. However, self-regulatory efficacy can moderate the correlation between procedural justice and workplace deviance behavior. Data collection in this study used a questionnaire distributed by google form. Data analysis in this study used Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with the WarpPLS approach.

Strengthening the Blue Economy through Marine, Coastal Resources and the Social Environment

The fisheries sector is a sector which supports Indonesia’s development, because the waters in Indonesia are wider than the land. Central Java is a region that has a long coastline stretching along the north coast and the south coast of Java. This supports the development of fisheries potential in Indonesia. Research on the blue economy theme for the fisheries sector is being promoted. The method used is an analysis of economic aspects in Central Java, especially people engaged in fisheries (GRDP and income per capita), potential fisheries resources, human resource potential (number of fish fishermen and cultivators), fisheries households, as well as aspects of production and value fisheries production. The results of this research can provide an overview of the potential of fisheries in Central Java to facilitate their management. The research results show that GRDP in the fields of fisheries, forestry, and agriculture during the 2018-2022 period was 3.23%-7.33%; the highest per capita expenditure in the food sector is used to purchase food, and non-food cost is for housing and household facilities. The highest fish resource potential is a small pelagic fish. The most increased fisheries production in 2022 in the Central Java region will be in Rembang and Pati Regencies which have coastlines and are coastal areas.

Therefore, this research will simulate and design a small-scale renewable energy power generation system, particularly solar energy, in the Cilacap region, Central Java. The main components involved in this research include PV arrays, IGBT diodes, and universal bridges, supported by supporting elements such as displays, scopes, resistors, capacitors, inductors, and bus selectors. The technical data used as input are specific to the area. The simulation results show that the direct power generated by one modelled PV array is 221.7 W per hour. This research contributes to optimising small-scale solar power generation systems in the designated area, considering relevant components and parameters to enhance efficiency and sustainability.

Elements of Bantenese, Javanese And Balinese Art Carved on Lawangkori Gedongwani in East Lampung, Indonesia

This research aims to reveal the Lawang Kori Gedongwani carving art in East Lampung, one of the areas in South Sumatra which since the early 17th century was the territory of the Banten Sultanate. Based on its current appearance, Lawang Kori is carved in the typical Bantenese art style that dominantly decorates pottery shards and tombstones at Banten Lama urban site. However, in certain details Lawang Kori also showed the influence of art from other regions in Java and Bali. To determine the existence of these artistic elements, research will focus on the forms and types of ornaments that were manifested in the Lawang Kori carvings, both in whole and in part. Therefore, direct observations were carried out in Gedongwani Village, Mergo Tigo District, East Lampung Regency, where Lawangkori was found. Identification of shapes and decorations produces very diverse decorative patterns. By focusing on the analysis on structure, construction and decorative elements in the form of geometric, floral and figurative motifs, Lawang Kori presented the characteristics strongly influenced by the decorative arts of Banten, East Java and Bali. Islamic art itself was the result of modifications from the Hindu-Buddhist period. Referring to historical sources and oral traditions, the Lawang Kori gate was probably made in the late 17th and early 18th centuries. The growth of port cities under the rule of the Javanese-Islamic polity stimulated the development of decorative arts in their area of influence. Islamic works of art themselves were the result of modifications from the Hindu-Buddhist period. In this case, Banten was an agent for the spread of Islamic art in the Lampung region, from its golden age to its decline in the early 19th century.

Abstract. Siddiq AM, Sulistiyowati H, Setiawan R, Wimbaningrum R, Wahono ND. 2024. Short Communication: Avifauna survey in Bama coastal area of Baluran National Park, East Java, Indonesia. Intl J Trop Drylands 8: 14-20. Baluran National Park is an essential habitat for avifauna in the East Java region, Indonesia. We surveyed the avifauna in the Bama coastal area using the line transect method at three stations, including Kalitopo, Bekol-Bama, and Manting. During a three-day survey, we recorded 53 bird species belonging to 47 genera and 32 families. According to the IUCN Red List, there are three conservation statuses (least concern: 49 species, near threatened: one species, endangered: three species); then, based on the CITES status, there are two categories (non-appendix: 47 species, Appendix II: six species), and finally, based on national status, there are two categories (non-protected categories: 41 species, protected categories: 12 species). Based on the frequencies, 32 common and 21 rare bird species are reported in the Bama coastal area. Three of the common species are Sunda Pied Fantail (Rhipidura javanica), Cave Swiftlet (Collocalia linchi), and Oriental Pied Hornbill (Anthracoceros albirostris), which was found in all observation tracks. Furthermore, these surveys provide recommendations for further research related to ecological topics for several threatened bird species, such as Padda oryzivora, Pavo muticus, Acridotheres melanopterus, Gracula religiosa, A. albirostris, and Nisaetus cirrhatus.

The persilan on agroforestry crops system in java production forest

Agroforestry is an agricultural system that integrates primary trees and alternative crops on the same land to provide economic, social, and ecological benefits. One of the agroforestry planting patterns is called Persilan. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the concept of persilan carried out by pesanggem (forest farmers) in several blood types in Java. Researchers observed agroforestry activities in three districts in Java, namely Rembang, Blora, and Tuban. To see agricultural patterns in several regions of Java, we used secondary data studies and Google Maps. In addition, we also collect data through stakeholder surveys to find out the philosophy, land plot, calendar, and ecological function of persilan patterns. The results showed interesting facts related to land parcels in the context of agroforestry which were widely developed in several regions, including Pati, Grobogan, Rembang, Blora, Tuban, to Bojonogoro. Persilan is a form of agriculture where people use Perum Perhutani production forests as their planting land. They plant in the empty parts between the trees by combining primary plants with interstitial plants for 5 years. The concept of Persilan plays a role in maintaining the ecological balance of forests, economic prosperity, and social welfare of local communities.
