Heath forest identification using remote sensing in the surrounding area of the new capital city of Indonesia

The construction of Indonesia’s new capital city, Nusantara, is envisioned as a forest city that heavily relies on biodiversity. One of the forest ecosystem types surrounding the Nusantara landscape is the heath forest ecosystem, also known as Kerangas. Heath forest is a rare and extreme habitat, thriving in nutrient-poor environments characterized by low pH, quartz sand soil, and podsol soil. However, there is still a lack of knowledge regarding the heath forest in East Kalimantan, particularly in the Nusantara region. This research aims to map the location and characteristics of the heath forest in the surrounding area of Nusantara, specifically in Penajam Paser Utara Regency and Kutai Kartanegara Regency, East Kalimantan. The creation of a tentative heath forest map requires four parameters: elevation, soil texture, NDVI, and a land cover map. Landsat 9 imagery was employed to conduct unsupervised classification and generate a land cover map. The Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) was also applied as an image transformation. The parameters were then overlaid using Geographic Information System (GIS) with a binary model. The results indicate that the heath forest covers an area of 56,646 hectares, representing 23% of the total Nusantara area, while the non-heath forest covers 194,610 hectares. The heath forest tentative map aligns with the RePPProT (Regional Physical Planning Project for Transmigration) land system map. Kerangas forests exhibit unique vegetation types, characterized by stunted trees, shrubs, and various epiphytes. Due to the nutrient-poor soil conditions, the vegetation in heath forests is typically sparse and of low height.

Physical, chemical, and biological characteristics of crab (Scylla spp.) from East Kalimantan, Indonesia

Abstract. Fanggi, Hardi EH, Nikhlani A, Mahendra AP, Tarbiyah, Novita, Noerhidayanti F. 2023. Physical, chemical, and biological characteristics of crab (Scylla spp.) from East Kalimantan, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 24: 4998-5006. Mud crab (Scylla spp.) is a direct export commodity to China from East Kalimantan, Indonesia. The majority of crabs are caught wild by traditional farmers in some districts. Early detection of crab quality is required to prevent the rejection of mud crab export products due to size, heavy metals, and infections. Fifteen samples from 15 farms in Balikpapan, Indonesia, were evaluated for physical parameters (weight, carapace width, sex, completeness of morphology, and identification of species), chemical parameters (Cu, Pb, Mg, Cd, and As), and biological parameters for the detection of White Spot Syndrome Virus (WSSV). The crab catches are from Kutai Kartanegara, Paser, and Penajam Paser Utara Districts. The physical examination of the crabs revealed a weight of 441.73±88.14 g, a carapace width of 11.92±0,59 cm, sexes of 14 males and 1 female, species including Scylla serrata (Forskål, 1775), Scylla olivacea (Herbst, 1796), Scylla paramamosain (Estampador, 1950), and Scylla tranquebarica (Fabricius, 1798), and 93.3% of the crabs had morphological completeness. The chemical examination of heavy metals, including Cu, Pb, Mg, Cd, and As, is still limited to fish products, while Fe has passed the quality standard, and WSSV has infected no crabs. The investigation found that 40% of East Kalimantan Province crab exports did not meet carapace width criteria. No WSSV pathogen was found in the samples. However, crab meat Fe concentration exceeded requirements.

Contesting “growth” and “sustainability” in Indonesia’s capital city relocation: a corpus ecolinguistic study

The global environmental crisis has triggered academic discussions on how infrastructure discourse often eliminates the environment as a part of the ecosystem. One noticeable contested issue is Indonesia’s capital city relocation from Jakarta to Penajam Paser Utara, Borneo Island. Considering the island’s biodiversity hotspot, the capital city relocation has invited debates about environmental impacts. Despite the criticism and scepticism of the government’s ambitious project, the Indonesian House of Representatives passed the relocation law, followed by the president’s capital city development regulations. Some research has discussed the new capital city (NCC) discourse, but the analysis from a corpus ecolinguistic perspective is absent. It is hypothesised that the lexemes “growth” and “sustainability” in the NCC legal documents represent the government’s intention to communicate the relocation intention and legitimise the plan. Therefore, this paper investigates the employment of lexemes “growth” and “sustainability” in the NCC legal documents using Sketch Engine, an online corpus tool developed by Adam Kilgarriff. Additionally, we also observed the nominalisation and transitivity of the concordances where the lexemes were used in the documents. The analysis revealed that “growth” and “sustainability” are inextricably linked to project NCC as a tool to accelerate and catalyse regional and national economic growth. Ecologically, the NCC documents promote an eco-ambivalent discourse since the sustainability objective excludes the environment. Instead, industrial sustainability is the primary goal in the capital city relocation. The country’s welfare measured by its economic success is salient in the discourse, whereas humans’ responsibility towards the deforestation impacts of relocation is lacking. This research was funded by the Final Project Recognition Grant Universitas Gadjah Mada, Number 5075/UN1.P.II/Dit-Lit/PT.01.01/2023. We are also indebted to the editors of Research Result. Theoretical and Applied Linguistics Journal and the anonymous reviewers for providing this paper valuable feedback.

Klasifikasi Sentimen Masyarakat Terhadap Proses Pemindahan Ibu Kota Negara (IKN) Indonesia pada Media Sosial Twitter Menggunakan Metode Naïve Bayes

Some time ago, the House of Representatives passed Law (UU) Number 3 of 2022 concerning the National Capital City on January 18, 2022. Then, President Joko Widodo officially signed the IKN Law on February 15, 2022. Thus, the Indonesian capital will be moved to Penajam Paser Utara Regency and Kutai Kartanegara Regency, East Kalimantan Province. The public's response to the decision varies; many respond with supportive sentiments, but some react with unsupportive ideas. Nowadays, there are many ways to observe information collected on social media. Various responses submitted through social media can be used as sentiment classification research data. The Naïve Bayes method is commonly used for this type of research. Data was collected between February 15-25, 2023, with as many as 500 tweets. This research uses the Gaussian Naïve Bayes type because of the independence assumption made by this method. Features that do not significantly contribute to the classification can be ignored, thus reducing the impact of irrelevant features. This study aims to measure public sentiment on Twitter towards the process of moving the nation's capital. The system created provides the best trial results at 80% feature usage with 82.0% accuracy, 76.9% precision, and 100% recall.

Discourse on moving the new capital city in East Kalimantan Province a political economy perspective

This paper aimed to examine the discourse on moving the new state capital in Indonesia. The relocation of the national capital city was highly controversial, with many significant indicators of displacement according to the level of interest in it. The new capital city of Indonesia will be located in Kutai Kartanegara Regency and Penajam Paser Utara Regency. This study looks at the discourse of moving the national capital from a political economy perspective. This study uses qualitative research methods, with a literature review and NVIVO12 analysis. The discourse on moving the state capital explained many interests of the government and people in East Kalimantan Province. This discourse has pros from a political and economic point of view considering the benefits it could bring and cons from a judicial and academic perspective on the reasons and urgency behind relocating the state capital. It is assumed that the development of the National Capital will be evenly distributed, although in fact the management of urban planning has not been carried out properly. This study recommends that a more in-depth study is needed so that the relocation of the capital can provide greater benefits to the people of Indonesia in accordance with national goals.

Preliminary result of dominant frequency and seismic amplification in Penajam Paser Utara and its surrounding regions using the HVSR method

East Kalimantan has been designated as the new capital city of Indonesia, precisely in Penajam Paser Utara and Kutai Kartanegara Regency. According to the historical records of seismic activity, there were several destructive earthquakes in East Kalimantan. Therefore, it is necessary to study the characteristics of the local site to assess the seismic hazard potential in the new capital city area and its surroundings. In this research, the Horizontal to Vertical Spectral Ratio (HVSR) method was applied by utilizing microtremor data from 21 seismometers installed in the research area. The results of the HVSR analysis obtained the dominant frequency (f0) and amplification factor (A0) from the H/V curve. Based on the H/V calculation, the highest f0 is 13.04 Hz and the lowest value is 0.58 Hz. Meanwhile, the highest value for A0 is 6.41, and the lowest value is 1.41. The results of the study show that the research area has a low to medium level of seismic hazard.

Species richness, population, sex ratio and activities of hornbills inhabiting patches of forests in an oil palm plantation concession in Penajam Paser Utara, East Kalimantan

Well-maintained oil palm concessions with patches of natural ecosystems can be a home for Hornbills. This paper is mainly focused to evaluate the species richness and activities of the hornbill community inhabiting patches of forest in oil palm plantations in Penajam Paser Utara, East Kalimantan. The ecological observation was focused on the largest forest patches, a total of 1 432 Ha. The data collected included species inventory and behavioral activities of hornbills. Hornbill activities were observed from 45 observation stations using the fixed radius point count method. Vegetation data were collected using a single plot method in 52 stations. Based on the vegetation survey, the number of plant species found was 151 species from 53 plant families. Dominant families are Moraceae and Euphorbiaceae with 14 species. The forest patches are used for foraging sites by hornbills, they fed on Ficus benjamina (Moraceae) and Ficus sp. (Moraceae). The favorite tree for roosting is Kompasia excelsa because the tree is around the Ficus benjamina and is an Emergent tree. Our results show that remnants of forest patches on oil palm plantations can provide spaces for hornbills’ activities which supports the sustainability of hornbills in the region.

Becoming a viewer again? Optimizing educational tour at IKN Nusantara to encourage community enthusiasm

The scenario of moving the national capital aims to equalize economic growth. In reality, the president of the Republic of Indonesia has chosen Penajam Paser Utara in East Kalimantan as the new national capital (known as IKN Nusantara). Substantively, this program is predicted to have an impact on community empowerment. To stimulate the success of capital city relocation, stakeholder participation is needed, especially local communities using a comprehensive alternative. The primary target of this paper is to channel and expose the culture of East Kalimantan via IKN Nusantara educational tourism. The mixed method approach combines quantitative techniques based on surveys and qualitative techniques through in-depth interviews. As a result, most local people in East Kalimantan are interested in taking part in the IKN Nusantara educational tour with relatively low prices and unique packaging of activities. In particular, the informants desired to be part of IKN Nusantara, including maintaining cleanliness, caring for the environment, promoting educational tours on their social accounts, and actualizing this activity as content creators. The main polemic is that even though they obtain information regarding the IKN Nusantara from various media, they are still confused about the role taken in developing the IKN Nusantara. Therefore, the government's commitment can guarantee local community access as IKN Nusantara partners. Optimism for the future agenda needs to be supported by popular and mutually-adhering policies toward holistic engagement of all stakeholders.
