An Analysis of Early Childhood Mental And Character Education in Rural Areas in Indonesia

This study was based on the imbalance between early childhood education (ECE) in most areas in the West Part of Indonesia and the East Part of Indonesia. ECE in most places in the East Part of Indonesia shows low quality of ECE compared to the West Part of Indonesia. We aim to investigate the condition of rural and underdeveloped areas with the lowest GDP in two regions in the East part of Indonesia, Sula and Taliabu in North Moluccas Province. Secondary Data Analysis (SDA) draws from several government reports and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) on Early Childhood Education in Sula and Taliabu, which include the data on Teacher’s Academic qualifications, School Facilitation, and teacher-student ratio. We compared this data with published government regulations and recent studies regarding the Teachers' Academic Qualification, School Facilitation, and teacher-student ratio standard with the field data in Sula and Taliabu Islands. Findings and recommendations are presented. Results show that most teachers in Sula and Taliabu in North Moluccas Province are High School Graduates. Most schools only have one classroom, no library, a high teacher-student ratio, and poor internet access. These conditions are not only far from the standard of quality of ECE in Indonesia set by government rules and regulations but also not conducive to teaching and learning activities.

Harvesting trend of the pelagic fish resource in North Maluku Province waters (IFMA 715)

Sustainable harvesting of the marine living resources in North Maluku Province would provide employment and economic benefit to broad-scale coastal communities. The pelagic fish resource has been the backbone of marine capture fisheries in this area for years. Mapping the ten years of harvesting would enhance the common baseline to improve the existing instrument for fisheries management. Data limited fisheries approach based on landing records was applied to perform the harvest trend of these typical fisheries. The analysis was performed based on four representative groups of species (skipjack, kawa-kawa, scads, and anchovies) and four main fishing gears regularly recorded (pelagic seiner, beach seine, pole and line, and gillnet) for more than one decade. The result showed that the harvesting system slightly increased since 2002, indicated by 170 % in landing volume and 4 % in the number of gears. The estimated value of landing in 2020 at about 2.6 trillion IDR significantly increased compared to 203 billion IDR in 2002. This multi-scale harvesting trend of pelagic fisheries could increase fishing mortality without regular monitoring and evaluation. It is suggested that improving the existing fisheries management plan for the sustainability of the pelagic fisheries business should be evaluated regularly to provide a long-term beneficiary for coastal community fishery livelihood dependence for the North Moluccas Province.

THE GAMKONORA DOCUMENTARY FILM: AN EXPERIENCE OF LANGUAGE REVITALISATION IN NORTH HALMAHERA

The documentary film is considered as a proper audio-visual medium for documenting traditions, but it has both advantages and challenges. Both issues explained in the paper based on the experience of making a cultural event documentary film of the Gamkonora people (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tCewhQOaNOk). This annual tradition held on the first day of every Eid al-Fitr by the Gamkonorans who live with other ethnic groups in West Halmahera Municipal, North Moluccas Province. This film is relatively effective in raising Gamkonoran identity awareness among the people, compared to language documentation in the form of a printed book or digital which requires a long process that spends much more energy. It is implied through comments on movies in social media and several films which produced spontaneously by young Gamkonorans through Youtube channels. In addition, discussions about the existence of the Gamkonora people are also present on social media such as Facebook, both in Ternate-Malay and Gamkonora languages. Besides the claims of documentary film effectiveness, it requires considerable preparation. Firstly, Gamkonora research team has done two years field researches and has done long discussion with movie crews before and after footages taking process. A researcher who took the role as a leader should have a storyline which is understandable by the film crews to guide them during footage takes. Another thing that should be done before is maintaining intensive communication with the four villages leaders of Gamkonoran (Gamkonora, Talaga, Tahafo, and Gamsungi villages), tua-tua adat, and key informants. Overall, among those complex processes, the most crucial aspect is deciding Dodengo as the tradition which touches every single Gamkonoran heart since it not only expressing their annual tradition, but also identity. It hoped that they realize how crucial their identity and they should do something to continue their existence. Thus, the documentary tradition of an ethnic group is a powerful medium to convey the message of their existence among the society that contains challenges, from the process before, during shooting, to the editing process to get the final result.

Disaster Risk On Review Scale And Spatial Planning Archipelago Region: The Risk Based Island Cluster In Moluccas Province

Disaster risk reduction (DRR) by taking into account the spatial planning in its implementation is not easy, for the Moluccas which has the characteristics of the region that has many cluster islands, and the accessibility are still low. Thus it requires special handling in the island-based disaster risk reduction, which will certainly be different from disaster risk reduction efforts that were undertaken in the continental region. The purpose of this research is to design the spatial area of the island cluster in Moluccas Province based on disaster risk. The method used is literature through spatial analysis of island risk-based groups. Based on the results of disaster risk assessment by the BPBD of Moluccas Province, it has been obtained that there are islands based on disaster risk (RB-islands cluster). The high disaster risk level was the island cluster on RB III and IX, the medium disaster risk level was the island cluster on RB I, IV, VI, and VIII, the low disaster risk level was the island cluster on RB II, V, and VII. The RB island cluster is a model for reaching areas with high disaster risk, can easily identify what causes it. It become an input to mitigate it through the spatial arrangements for achieving a sustainable archipelago development. The regional spatial arrangements aimed at reducing disaster risk in the RB-islands cluster in the Moluccas through spatial planning, structural handling/civil engineering, education, and community empowerment.

Migrant Traders in the Marketplaces (Pasar) and their Domination in the Post-conflict Society of the Moluccas Province, Indonesia

This article is about the domination of Butonese migrant traders in three urban marketplaces (pasar) of Ambon in the aftermath of sectarian conflict. The research examines how Butonese migrant traders struggle for their sovereign space and how they deal with the dissatisfied local traders in light of their domination in the market. The Butonese migrant traders also demonstrate an uncanny ability in political lobbying and creating businesses based on family networking. At the horizontal level, they construct their emotional connections and minimalise local people’s jealousy over their dominance in the market by reinventing local ceremonies in the marketplace, while at the vertical level, the Butonese traders create credit access and political contacts with the central government in Jakarta and with local legislators—most of whom belong to Islamic parties. The market has become a space for leveling-up the migrant trader’s self-esteem since, outside the market, local people (orang negeri) question their citizenship status.
