West Java Regional Police Public Relations Personnel’s adaptation to digital age communication

The development of communication and information technology supports the use of various media to convey messages or information to the public. Therefore, the National Police of the Republic of Indonesia, as one of the largest institutions in Indonesia, is expected to be proactive in utilizing new media to utilize information. Various new policies will be implemented, including using the NCO as the spearhead of public communication in this digital era. However, these non-commissioned officers are uncomfortable sitting in their position as public relations officers who act as police communicators with digital technology that accompanies their work. This study explores the adaptation process carried out by young non-commissioned officers who manage police communications through social media and the obstacles they face in the adaptation process. To explore these activities, the researchers will use two theories: technological adaptation and the Social Construction of Technology. This research is a case study research with the descriptive data type. Data collection is based on interviews, observation, and also documentation. The results and discussion of this research show that public relations personnel at the West Java Police must adapt because they do not have a qualified educational background in public relations, especially communication in the digital era. SOPs and management for communication depend on what the leader is inclined to do. Public Relations personnel attended training from within the police organization. However, the training cannot improve their abilities in the short term. Ensuring that our Regional Police have SOPs in managing social media and conducting training could be the problem-solving needed.

Socio-Cultural Factors on the Establishment and Development of Communal Homestay in Eco-Rural Tourism

Socio-cultural aspects in homestay need to be identified since such businesses can make very close interactions among tourists and rural life. This study aimed to analyze socio-cultural factors in the establishment and development of communal homestays in eco-rural tourism. It was conducted in tourist villages in three provinces, namely the Special Region of Yogyakarta (Brayut and Tanjung Villages), West Java (Banceuy and Bunihayu Villages), and North Sulawesi (Bahoi, Tiwoho, Popareng, Tandengan, and Urongo Villages). This research used a close-ended questionnaire with 585 respondents. Data analysis was carried out in a quantitative descriptive by grouping, simplifying, and presenting the class interval data. The results showed that the majority of people in tourist villages agreed on the concept that communal homestay could be a forum for the preservation of the culture, customs, and norms of the local community. In the aspect of cultural heritage conservation, homestay businesses are considered capable of providing the function of protecting and preserving customs, arts, culture, religious traditions, and languages. The management of this communal homestay is considered to create social interaction, cooperation and reduce forms of unhealthy competition.

Public Protection and Disaster Relief Planning Using Terrestrial Trunked Radio in West Java

This research aims to implement Public Protection and Disaster Relief (PPDR) planning using Terrestrial Trunked Radio (TETRA) in the West Java area. This plan will work at frequencies 806-821 MHz and 851-866 MHz (bandwidth of 15 MHz). PPDR planning study using TETRA in West Java with a total area of 37,315 Km2. This TETRA planning study uses the simulation method. Simulation using ATOLL software using parameters used by the West Java Regional Police (Polda) because it follows the conditions of the province of West Java. This plan does three things, firstly plans the coverage area to determine the number of base stations by looking for the link power budget and MAPL, followed by finding the cell radius value, secondly planning the network capacity to be used by following the assumptions and predictions of the TETRA mobile station (ms), and the third is planning the frequency spectrum. The three methods are tested and validated using Atoll software simulation. The planning results for the West Java region required 58 sites (base station). The required channels are 94 channels, while from 15 MHz, TETRA digital radio trunking bandwidth provides 600 channels so that TETRA digital trunking radio can be implemented in West Java. In the future, this TETRA radio trunking plan can be implemented in other provinces in Indonesia and even be expanded to all regions in Indonesia to handle disasters

Temporal trend and spatial clustering of the dengue fever prevalence in West Java, Indonesia

Dengue fever is a notable vector-borne viral disease, currently becoming the most dreaded worldwide health problem in terms of the number of people affected. A data set of confirmed dengue incidences collected in the province of West Java has allowed us to explore dengue's temporal trends and spatial distributions to obtain more obvious insights into its spatial-temporal evolution. We utilized the Richards model to estimate the growth rate and detect the peak (or turning point) of the dengue infection wave by identifying the temporal progression at each location. Using spatial analysis of geo-referenced data from a local perspective, we investigated the changes in the spatial clusters of dengue cases and detected hot spots and cold spots in each weekly cycle. We found that the trend of confirmed dengue incidences significantly increases from January to March. More than two-third (70.4%) of the regions in West Java had their dengue infection turning point ranging from the first week of January to the second week of March. This trend clearly coincides with the peak of precipitation level during the rainy season. Further, the spatial analysis identified the hot spots distributed across central, northern, northeastern, and southeastern regions in West Java. The densely populated areas were likewise seen to be associated with the high-risk areas of dengue exposure. Recognizing the peak of epidemic and geographical distribution of dengue cases might provide important insights that may help local authorities optimize their dengue prevention and intervention programs.

Mode Choice Probability Between Bus and Railway Cianjur-Padalarang Route

Travel between cities in the Bogor, Sukabumi, and Cianjur areas is only accommodated by road-based public transportation that is interstate bus. The government issued a policy to reactivate railroads from Bogor to Padalarang, so that the southern region of West Java are connected to the rail network. This research intention to analyze characteristics of socio-economic users, characteristics of trip users, and analyze how much passengers move from the current bus to the Cianjur-Padalarang train. Data were collected by distributing questionnaires using stated preference techniques and analyzed using binary logit difference model with linear regression. The attributes to be analyzed are the difference between travel costs, travel time, and frequency of departure. The characteristic of users were analyzed with descriptive statictic method. The socio-economic characteristics of the passengers obtained were majority is male, aged 21-30 years old, education level senior high school, worked as entrepreneurship, income Rp2.000.001-Rp3.000.000, transportation costs for a month Rp100.001-Rp300.000. The characteristics of trip users are dominated by origin from Cianjur destination to Padalarang to work (economy), the frequency of trips is 1-2 times per week, the reason choosing the bus because of the bus have more easier mobility, the main travel time is 121-150 minutes. The results of the calculation of model sensitivity, the potential for passenger transfer from bus to train will increase if the difference in cost and travel time between trains and buses is getting smaller, and the difference in frequency is getting bigger.

Data Clustering for Identification of Building Conditions Using Hybrid Multivariate Multinominal Distribution Soft Set (MMDS) Method

Identifying building conditions for user safety is an urgent matter, especially in earthquake-prone areas. Clustering buildings according to their conditions in the categories of danger, vulnerable, normal, and safe is important information for residents and the government to take further action. This study introduces a new method, namely hybrid multivariate multinomial distribution with the softest (MMDS) in working on the process of clustering building conditions into the most appropriate category and comparable to the condition data presented in the building data set. Research using the MMDS method is very important to map the condition of existing buildings in an area supported by available data sets. The results of the measurements carried out can provide information related to the building index and were clustered based on the index value of the condition of the building. The dataset used in this study is data on school buildings in the West Java region. There are 286 school building data with four condition parameters: foundation, concrete reinforcement, easel pole, and roof. From existing data and defined condition parameters, buildings can be classified accurately and in proportion to the facts on the ground. This study also compared the proposed method, MMDS, with the baseline method, namely Fuzzy Centroid Clustering (FCC) and Fuzzy k-means Clustering (FKC). The results show that the proposed method is superior to the baseline method with a faster processing time

Comparison of Ground Motion Prediction Equation (GMPE) Analysis of the Bandung Earthquake 22 January 2022

The value of ground acceleration in an area due to an earthquake that occurs can have different values. One of the factors that influence this is the geological conditions in the area. The purpose of this study was to compare the Peak Ground Acceleration (PGA) values in the area using several Empirical Ground Motion Equation Prediction (GMPE) formulas such as Inan et al. (1996), Katayama (1974) and Peng et al. (1985) with results that are read on the accelerograph. This study uses earthquake data from the and several station networks Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) in the West Java region. The results of the analysis show that the empirical formula that is close to the readable value on the accelerograph record is the empirical formula of Inan et al. (1996). Thus the empirical formula is suitable for calculating PGA values in the region.

Contested subterranean territory: Gold mining and competing claims to Indonesia’s underground

Worldwide, subsurface resources are typically the domain of the state. Their cataloguing and government-permitted extraction comprise key elements of state territorialization of the subterranean. However, like processes of territorialization aboveground, state control of the underground is always incomplete and subject to competing uses of space and resources. One of the clearest examples of this contestation is unlicensed small-scale mining. In this article, I examine a case of gold mining conflict in the Pongkor region of West Java, Indonesia. There, state-corporate and small-scale mining compete over the same gold reserves, directly confronting each other both above and below ground. Drawing on twelve months of ethnographic research, I analyze three ways that state-corporate and small-scale mining vie for control of these subterranean territories: regulating movement between the surface and subsurface, managing underground volumes, and deploying competing geological knowledges. I argue that verticality, volume, and the material and discursive features of the underground do not merely set the conditions for this conflict, but are also dynamics utilized to territorialize underground space. I call for further scholarly inquiry into contemporary, ongoing processes of subterranean territorial contestation and reproduction.

Analisis Faktor Penyebab Ketimpangan Pendapatan pada Lima Provinsi Tertimpang di Indonesia

This research was conducted to find out the effect of economic growth, the human development index,the provincial minimum wage, and provincial government capital expenditure on the level of income inequality. This research uses five provinces with the highest inequality including the Special Region of Yogyakarta, Gorontalo, West Java, DKI Jakarta, and Papua. The sample determination uses a saturated sampling technique with 5 provinces from 2015-to 2020, so the total sample is 30 data. The data type is secondary data sourced from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS). This research uses a multiple linear regression method with panel data analysis and program Eviews 10 with a significance level of 5% (0.05). Partially, the results show that the human development index, the provincial minimum wage, and the realization of provincial government capital expenditures have a significant effect on income inequality, while economic growth has no effect. The results also show that simultaneously the four independent variables affect income inequality.
