Peluang dan Tantangan Indonesia Menuju Poros Maritim Dunia: Perspektif Politik Internasional

Indonesia has various benefits as a world maritime axis such as a large economic potential because Indonesia is the largest archipelagic country in the world, Indonesia has great economic potential in the maritime sector, including in the fields of fisheries, shipping and marine tourism. As the world's maritime axis, Indonesia must strengthen national security and defense as an archipelagic country, Indonesia has vast territorial waters, which need to be guarded against various threats, such as illegal fishing, ship theft, and terrorist activities at sea. The purpose of this research is to explain the world's maritime axis in an international political perspective. The research method used is qualitative research. The results of this study are that Indonesia has a very big opportunity to make itself the world's maritime axis. However, on the other hand, there are also several challenges that need to be overcome in developing Indonesia's maritime sector. Opportunities that exist include enormous maritime potential, strategic geographical position, the existence of international shipping lanes, and attractive maritime tourism potential. While the challenges faced are the lack of adequate infrastructure and technology, limited competent human resources, maritime security issues, and the lack of appropriate policies in regulating the maritime sector.

Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease (ASCVD) risk assesment among healthy Indonesian Navy Personnel in East Java, Indonesia

Indonesia, as the largest archipelagic country, has a military population of its own. Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease (ASCVD) are common in in Indonesian Navy personnel populations, and recent studies reported an increasing ofits prevalence.However, the data on specific navy military populations are still limited. This study aims to assess ASCVD risk on Indonesian navy personnel. This study use yearly medical check-up data of the Indonesian navy with high rank (fleet commander) aged 25-60 years old in period of January-August 2023. Those who already diagnosed with coronary artery disease were excluded. We use Framingham risk score and EUROS II Score to assess the ASCVD risk among samples. A total of 503 samples were recruited, 474 were male. Mean of age was 45 y.o, predominantly they were active smoker (64,8%) and overweight (44,5%). Among men’s population, the Framingham risk score shows almost half of the samples are at medium risk of ASCVD (40,16%), while a small percentage (17,3%) are at high risk as well as EuroSCORE II show remarkbly 62,21% of high ASCVD risk. The medium to high ASCVD risk among Indonesian Navy personnel need further attention and evaluation. A failure to give a decent preventive intervention may increase the burden of ASCVD in the future.

Re-thinking Indonesian marine fisheries quota-based policy: A qualitative network of stakeholder perception at fisheries management area 718

As the largest archipelagic country, Indonesia has been unable to prioritize the ocean to improve its economy. Despite implementing various fisheries management approaches, Indonesia has consistently failed to establish the right policies. The Indonesian government's current breakthrough was to combine the ecosystem approach to fisheries management (EAFM) and quota-based fisheries management (QBFM). Policies that combine these two concepts are known as 'perikanan terukur' (measurable fisheries). The observation views the perspective of local stakeholders on this measurable fisheries policy. Fisheries management area (FMA) 718 was conducted as research areas while designed as industrial fisheries and national fish supply areas. FMA 718 is also represented by Merauke Regency (South Papua) and Aru Islands Regency (Maluku). The perception of 67 key respondents was modeled using qualitative network modeling. The results showed at least 28 initial variables related to the response to QBFM. The developed model indicated that local stakeholders had rejected this policy. The implications that emerged to implement this policy were to ensure the distribution of authority between layers of government. The gap between local and commercial fishermen must be resolved immediately. There is a need for community involvement in policy, including efforts to develop policies based on data and factual conditions.

The Development of Scrabble Game-Based Learning Media Using Javanese Script: Jable Board

Indonesia is the largest archipelagic country, consisting of thousands of islands, which causes Indonesia to have various types of diversity, one of which is the diversity of languages. Javanese is the most widely used regional language as a daily communication language among Indonesians. The distinctive feature of this language is that it has Javanese script. The government has introduced the Javanese script through learning Javanese in every school. However, the interest and curiosity of students are still relatively low. Moreover, the learning media used are also limited. Learning media is an important component in achieving the success of an optimal learning process. As a result, learning media should be able to become an effective and efficient channel of learning information, allowing students to easily comprehend what they are learning. Jable Board is the result of the development of learning media in Javanese script in the form of a scrabble game using Javanese script. The method used is the research and development method (Research and Development, or R&D) using the 4-D (four D) research model. From the product validation results, two types of data were obtained: qualitative data in the form of voice response, button accuracy, and battery life, as well as quantitative data in the form of a product-related questionnaire to teachers

Legal Protection Against Illegal Orangutan Trade

The archipelago is vast, even become the largest archipelagic country in the world. Having many islands makes Indonesia rich in diversity of flora and fauna, one of which is the orangutan wildlife that lives in the forests of Indonesia. Illegal trade in protected wildlife is still rampant due to the lack of public awareness about the importance of preserving nature so that the population of protected wildlife does not experience extinction. The trade-in wildlife does not only cover the national level, it has even penetrated at the international level. One of the regulations regarding the protection of the international wildlife trade is the Convention on International Trade of Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES). Legislation regarding the trade-in protected wildlife in Indonesia has been regulated in Law Number 5 of 1990 concerning the Conservation of Biological Resources and Their Ecosystems. The writing of this paper uses data collection methods from various sources such as articles, journals, and some websites on the internet. The novelty of this research is to discuss the legal protection of the orangutan wildlife trade in Indonesia. Ineffective government regulations make there still a lot of illegal wildlife trade.

A Chronicle of Indonesia’s Forest Management: A Long Step towards Environmental Sustainability and Community Welfare

Indonesia is the largest archipelagic country in the world, with 17,000 islands of varying sizes and elevations, from lowlands to very high mountains, stretching more than 5000 km eastward from Sabang in Aceh to Merauke in Papua. Although occupying only 1.3% of the world’s land area, Indonesia possesses the third-largest rainforest and the second-highest level of biodiversity, with very high species diversity and endemism. However, during the last two decades, Indonesia has been known as a country with a high level of deforestation, a producer of smoke from burning forests and land, and a producer of carbon emissions. The aim of this paper is to review the environmental history and the long process of Indonesian forest management towards achieving environmental sustainability and community welfare. To do this, we analyze the milestones of Indonesian forest management history, present and future challenges, and provide strategic recommendations toward a viable Sustainable Forest Management (SFM) system. Our review showed that the history of forestry management in Indonesia has evolved through a long process, especially related to contestation over the control of natural resources and supporting policies and regulations. During the process, many efforts have been applied to reduce the deforestation rate, such as a moratorium on permitting primary natural forest and peat land, land rehabilitation and soil conservation, environmental protection, and other significant regulations. Therefore, these efforts should be maintained and improved continuously in the future due to their significant positive impacts on a variety of forest areas toward the achievement of viable SFM. Finally, we conclude that the Indonesian government has struggled to formulate sustainable forest management policies that balance economic, ecological, and social needs, among others, through developing and implementing social forestry instruments, developing and implementing human resource capacity, increasing community literacy, strengthening forest governance by eliminating ambiguity and overlapping regulations, simplification of bureaucracy, revitalization of traditional wisdom, and fair law enforcement.

The Concept of Ocean Sustainability in High School: Measuring the Ocean Literacy of Vocational High School Students in Indonesia

In this study, we used propositional concept maps with different ocean-related conceptual sentences to assess the ocean literacy of maritime vocational high school students in Grades 10–12 in Indonesia. Indonesia is the world’s largest archipelagic country, and many aspects of people’s lives, including their jobs, are related to the ocean. Therefore, it is crucial to assess the ocean literacy and related knowledge of students, especially maritime vocational high school students. Thus, in this study, an open-ended questionnaire was employed to acquire data from 255 students at the National Vocational High School 1 Temon in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. A total of 215 males and 40 females participated in this study. In addition to descriptive analysis, we used a one-way analysis of variance and a t-test for statistical inference. The results showed that 11th and 12th graders scored significantly higher in ocean literacy than 10th graders, and female students significantly outperformed male students. Furthermore, student learning was teacher-centered. In this paper, we summarize the results and provide suggestions and references concerning ocean literacy for teachers and high school students.

Nickel mining in Obi Island: problem or solution for mitigating climate change effects?

Climate change has become a global issue that threatens human life. According to Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), since 1850 there has been an increase in temperature and sea level so that small islands will sink. As the largest archipelagic country in the world, Indonesia is committed to reduce carbon emissions as a means for mitigating the effects of climate change. The current program is to replace fossil energy with renewable energy. Nickel is a mineral for basic materials to make batteries that can be used as an energy source for electric vehicles which are environmentally friendly. Indonesia has the world's largest nickel reserves and contributes to 37% of the world's total nickel production in 2021. One of the areas that produces nickel is Obi Island in North Maluku. Massive nickel production in this island has negative on environment as well as social-economic on local community. The purpose of this study is to analyse the profit and loss impact of nickel mining in Obi Island. Using qualitative descriptive method through library research this study shows that nickel mining is able to increase regional income but is accompanied by environmental degradation and increased social problems for the local people.

Analysis of Activity Planning In the 2765 Dwt Tanker Repair Process Using the Critical Path Method (Cpm)

Ships are basically a means of sea transportation, which connects an island or between regions of a country, which is used as passenger transportation, as well as transportation of goods. As the largest archipelagic country in the world, Indonesia has waters with two vast seas which are larger than the land. Therefore, sea transportation has an important role for the sustainability of the economy in Indonesia, so the need for developers in the maritime sector needs to be increased, one of which is in the field of Shipyards. In the ongoing docking process, it is necessary to schedule the work. So that the project runs in a structured manner, it is necessary to pay attention, because scheduling a project itself helps to detail the activities of an activity, the time required for project completion so that the project is on time Completion and there are no delays in workmanship Critical path method (CPM) itself is a method for identifying completion in a project to complete the completion of a project so that it is on time. And the authors use this method to help resolve and compare between the 2765 dwt tanker scheduling made by the shipyard and using the critical path method (CPM). The results of my research entitled " analysis of activity planning in the 2765 dwt tanker repair process using the critical path method (cpm) " are. The schedule made by the shipyard gets a completion time of 61 days, whereas if you use the critical path method, it takes 48 days.

SKRINING DEMENSIA DAN EDUKASI POTENSI SUMBER DAYA LAUT UNTUK MENCEGAH PENYAKIT NEURODEGENERATIF PADA MASYARAKAT PESISIR DI KABUPATEN LOMBOK UTARA (KLU)

Improving the quality of health services has resulted in a high elderly population. The elderly are more susceptible to various degenerative diseases, including dementia. The high prevalence of dementia is a major health issue that has an impact on global socioeconomic problems. Indonesia is one of the world's largest archipelagic countries. As an archipelago-based region, West Nusa Tenggara (NTB) has numerous marine resources that could be utilized as potential dementia therapies. This program aims to conduct health screenings for dementia and educate about the potential of marine resources for dementia treatment. This program consists of two phases. The first phase consists of a health screening to assess the risk of dementia. This phase includes measuring blood pressure, measuring blood sugar, and evaluating cognitive performance. The second phase consists of health education regarding the potential of marine resources. Based on dementia screening revealed that 96% of participants need additional evaluation. About 47.3% of the patients were diagnosed with hypertension, 61.1% required further confirmation for diabetes mellitus, and 5.6% were diagnosed with diabetes mellitus. Health education explains the importance of marine resources in preventing degenerative diseases, the nutritional value of marine resources, and the proper treatment of marine resources as food and medication. The community's enthusiasm for health education is high. The high interest of the people was evidenced by a large number of attendees and queries asked. The community participates actively, and the programs run as intended.

Blue carbon: A new paradigm of mangrove conservation and management in Indonesia

Indonesia is the largest archipelagic country in the world and has vast natural resources. In the maritime sector, efforts to realize the sustainability of natural resources in coastal ecosystems have focused on mangroves and seagrass meadows, also known as blue carbon ecosystems, that have an important role in regulating the Earth's climate. The need for ecosystem-based climate change mitigation combined with economic recovery and improved environment conditions has shifted the motivation and escalated mangrove restoration efforts in Indonesia. As the richest mangrove nation with the greatest mangrove carbon stocks in the world, recently Indonesia has taken significant steps in the land use sector to reduce emissions by acknowledging the ‘true’ value of mangrove carbon and setting priorities for mangrove conservation and restoration within Indonesia’s climate actions. This paper reviews opportunities and challenges in mainstreaming mangrove blue carbon into policy in Indonesia. We evaluate the gaps in regulations and policies and propose pathways for the national blue carbon action. As mangroves are embedded in both forestry and marine sectors and the responsibilities for management lies within several government ministries, an integrated framework is suggested to support the national blue carbon strategy. The Indonesia Blue Carbon Strategy Framework (IBCSF) encompasses three main elements that should be considered in order to address challenges and seize opportunities in blue carbon: coordination, policy and funding.

Design of Fast Patrol Boat for Improving Resistance, Stability, and Seakeeping Performance

Indonesia is the largest archipelagic country and has the potential to become the world’s maritime axis. Two-thirds of Indonesia’s territory is ocean, with a total coastline of 54,716 km. Therefore, Indonesia must have solid systems and tools to overcome the various threats in the maritime sector. One of the technologies that can be developed to protect Indonesia’s naval territory is fast patrol boats. Indonesia requires efficient patrol boats that can optimally monitor the large Indonesian sea area and various potential threats in the maritime sector. Thus, research on the hydrodynamic criteria for the hull design of patrol boats is fundamental. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the design method based on hydrodynamic characteristics to obtain the primary dimensions and shape of the ship’s hull. We designed and analysed 11 ship models in terms of the following criteria: the resistance, stability, and seakeeping performance. The 11 models included five reference models of patrol boats with varying dimensions and block coefficients between 0.42 and 0.53, three ship models with the regression method with the exact dimensions and block coefficients between 0.45 and 0.46, and three ship models with the scale method with the exact measurements and block coefficients between 0.43 and 0.45. According to the analysis results, the regression method had better total hydrodynamic criteria and greater similarity to the reference vessel. With a shorter processing time, the regression method was more efficient than the scaling method and reference ship.

Multi-Actor Collaboration in Improving the Economy of the Fishing Community in Karangantu Coastal Area of Serang, Indonesia

The fishing community is a community that is strongly dependent on the sustainability of marine natural resources. Indonesia is the largest archipelagic country in the world and has a wealth of marine economic potential. Karangantu Coastal Area, Serang City is located on Banten’s North Coast which has a fairly good marine potential and has a National Fishing Port (PPN) which is a type B fishing port in Banten Province. These advantages were why PPN Karangantu was appointed as a fisheries industrial area (formerly a minapolitan) for the catch fisheries subsector since 2010. However, facts show that this potential is still not well-managed and thus does not yet have a significant effect on improving the fishing community’s welfare. Until this article was written, poverty and the fishermen remains an unresolved issue. To resolve the problem there needs to be a collaboration between multiple actors: the government, the private sector, the public communities, and the fishing community should work together and encourage policies regarding the coastal community economic empowerment through the development of a mutually profitable fishermen group joint business endeavor which would have a significant effect on the people's welfare, especially the fishing community in Karangantu Coastal Area, Serang City. The present study is a descriptive qualitative study. Data were collected in three ways: interviews, observations, and documentation. The data analysis for both primary and secondary data was conducted with the Nvivo 12 Pro software. The study results indicated potentials that could significantly improve the economy of the fishing community in Karangantu Coastal Area, Serang City, especially in the fisheries and tourism sectors. However, this can only be realized if there is a collaboration between actors, including the central and regional government, business actors, environmental NGOs, and the fishing community.

Building on health security capacities in Indonesia: Lessons learned from the COVID-19 pandemic responses and challenges.

As an active member country of the WHO's International Health Regulation and Global Health Security Agenda, Indonesia, the world's fourth‐most populous and largest archipelagic country has recorded the second‐highest COVID‐19 cases in Asia with over 1.8 million cases in early June 2021. This geographically and socially diverse country has a dynamic national and sub‐national government coordination with decentralized authorities that can complicate a pandemic response which often requires nationally harmonized policies, adaptability to sub‐national contexts and global interconnectedness. This paper analyses and reviews COVID‐19 public data, regulations, guidance documents, statements and other related official documents to present a narrative that summarizes the government's COVID‐19 response strategies. It further analyses the challenges and achievements of the country's zoonotic diseases preparedness and responses and lastly provides relevant recommendations. Findings are presented in four sections according to the Global Health Security Agenda capacities, namely epidemiological surveillance (detect capacity); laboratory diagnostic testing (respond capacity); data management and analysis (enable capacity); and the role of sub‐national governments. The COVID‐19 pandemic has been a catalyst for the rapid transformation of existing surveillance systems, inter‐related stakeholder coordination and agile development from the pre‐pandemic health security capacities. This paper offers several recommendations on surveillance, laboratory capacity and data management, which might be useful for Indonesia and other countries with similar characteristics beyond the COVID‐19 response, such as achieving long‐term health security, zoonoses and pandemic prevention, as well as a digital transformation of their governmental capacities.

Defense Industry Strategy in Strengthening the Indonesian Economy

Defense is important for a country, especially Indonesia, which is the largest archipelagic country in the world, with a total of 17,500 islands with a population of 274 million. Indonesia also has a variety of natural resources and is located in a strategic location because it is a crossroads for international trade. This then makes Indonesia vulnerable to threats both from within and outside the country that can threaten the sovereignty, territorial integrity and safety of the Indonesian nation. In maintaining its sovereignty and territorial integrity, Indonesia is preparing the TNI, which is armed with Alutsista. The Defense Industry is an industry that produces Alutsista. The Defense Industry is not only built to meet the needs of the TNI's defense equipment, but is expected to have an influence on the national economy in general and the region in particular. This research uses descriptive research. The research proves that PT Pindad (Persero) Turen has a role in the national economy in general and the Province of East Java in particular. This can be proven from the amount of the company's net profit and taxes deposited by PT Pindad (Persero) every time there is a transaction or routine every month to the state treasury. The contribution to East Java Province can also be seen from the number of workers absorbed by the company and the multiplier effects it causes, such as the absorption of labor through the company's business partners. The welfare of the population of East Java Province also increases every year and almost reaches the national average. The size of the UMK to per capita expenditure is also relatively able to meet the food and non-food needs of the population of East Java Province. PT Pindad (Persero) is currently also working on many projects both from within and outside the country and has strategic steps to develop its business, so it is not impossible that PT Pindad (Persero) can contribute more to the regional and national economy. field.

Naval Academy Cadets Voyage Introduces National Culture

As the largest archipelagic country in the world with a strategic position and with having alarge wealth of natural resources, Indonesia constitutes a country that has tremendous allure to other countries that have an interest. In order to manage abundant natural resources, of course it must be supported by good Indonesian human resources. This is in line with the policy of the President of the Republic of Indonesia H. Joko Widodo,that the development of human resources constitutes top priority in his government policy for 2019-2024. This priority also in the navy which has motto Jalesveva Jayamahe (in the sea that we are victorious). In order to generate qualified Indonesian human resources in order to build and maintain the sovereignty of the unitary state of the Republic of Indonesia and to implement government policies and Kasal policies, especially in generating officers, of course it can be realized and determined fundamentally by the educational institution system. Therefore, it is necessary to revise these regulations so that later they will be better and can accommodate changes that occur and eliminate existing problems. The purpose of this study is to provide policy authors with tools to understand and predict service behavior as operational and policy requirements change so that the new regulations will be better.

Community Livelihood Diversification as a Result of Mining Industry Activities: A Case Study of Soligi Village, South Halmahera

Indonesia is one of the world's largest archipelagic countries. Diversification is the process of increasing household economic income in various sectors to improve welfare and survival opportunities. This study demonstrates that the people of Obi Island's livelihoods are diversifying due to mining and pressure from the immigrant population. This study is necessary to determine how mining depletes natural resources affects the livelihood strategies of the Indonesian archipelagic community, particularly in Maluku. On the other hand, they must contend with dwindling natural resources. This study employed a semi-structured questionnaire to conduct a home survey with 153 respondents in Soligi Village. In-depth interviews were also conducted to delve deeper into the research findings. This study demonstrates that physical capital and natural capital are the essential livelihood assets for the inhabitants of Soligi Village, and mining has resulted in the diversification of people's occupations into non-permanent mining employees.
