Evaluasi Pemekaran 6 Provinsi di Papua: Studi Pandangan Tokoh Adat Papua

The expansion policy regulated in Law Number 2 of 2021 mandates the formation of three new provinces in Papua, namely South Papua, Central Papua, and Mountainous Papua. They believe that expansion will bring more attention and resources to areas that have been neglected. The purpose of this study is to look at the impact of provincial expansion in Papua from the perspective of indigenous leaders, given that this policy has created six new provinces in the country. As part of the Indonesia government's efforts to improve administrative efficiency and accelerate development, these changes have generated a lot of response from the community, especially from indigenous Papuan leaders who have an important role in the country's social and cultural structure. This study uses a qualitative approach with literature review to reveal the subjective views and experiences of indigenous leaders related to provincial expansion. The results of the study show that traditional leaders support and oppose this expansion policy. Support comes from those who believe that expansion can accelerate progress and well-being, while objections stem from concerns that it could disrupt social and cultural stability. This research helps to understand the impact of expansion from the perspective of indigenous leaders, emphasizes that cultural and social aspects must be considered when making expansion policies, and suggests that an inclusive and local wisdom-based approach should be applied in Papua's development process.

CONTRIBUTION OF JOB STRESS IN MEDIATING ASPECTS AFFECTING WORK FATIGUE OF MINISTRY OF RELIGIOUS AFFAIRS EMPLOYEES IN THE SOUTH PAPUA PROVINCE REGION

Employees working for the Ministry of Religion in the South Papua Province have a range of tasks related to community service in religious affairs. The demanding workload in this role calls for extra effort from the employees. This research aims to explore how work stress acts as a mediator in the relationship between leadership style, workload, and income adequacy with work fatigue among Ministry of Religion employees in the South Papua Province. Data was collected through a survey involving 153 participants. The findings from the structural equation modeling analysis reveal that leadership style has a significant negative impact on work stress, while workload has a significant positive impact on work stress. However, income adequacy does not seem to affect work stress. Moreover, leadership style negatively impacts work fatigue, whereas workload has a positive impact on work fatigue. Income adequacy, on the other hand, does not have a significant impact on work fatigue. The study ultimately concludes that work stress plays a role in mediating the relationship between leadership style and workload with work fatigue. However, work stress does not mediate the effect of income adequacy on job burnout.

The Influence of Vehicles Parking on the Roadside as Reduction of Lane Width on Traffic Performance

The city of Poso is experiencing rapid economic growth, attracting many newcomers and developing various commercial facilities along its streets. This study analyzes traffic performance on three road sections in Poso City: Jl. Pulau Irian Jaya (District Road), Jl. Pulau Sumatera (National Road), and Jl. Kasintuwu (Provincial Road), focusing on the impact of on-street parking as a side friction and lane width reduction on road capacity and degree of saturation (DS). The methods used are MKJI 1997 and PKJI 2023. The study results indicate that road capacity decreases and DS increases significantly when using the PKJI 2023 method compared to MKJI 1997. Jl. Pulau Irian Jaya experienced an increase in DS from 0.372 to 0.410 (side friction) and from 0.874 to 0.94 (lane width reduction). Jl. Pulau Sumatera showed an increase in DS from 0.716 to 0.776 (side friction) and from 0.75 to 0.84 (lane width reduction). Meanwhile, Jl. Kasintuwu showed an increase in DS from 0.114 to 0.118 (side friction) and from 0.20 to 0.21 (lane width reduction). These results suggest that the PKJI 2023 method provides a more conservative estimate, indicating a more significant decline in traffic performance compared to MKJI 1997.

A description of lineage 1 Mycobacterium tuberculosis from papua, Indonesia

Indonesia has the third highest number of tuberculosis (TB) patients infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) Lineage 1 (L1). Most of these MTB L1 cases can be found in Indonesia's remote easternmost province of Papua, one of Indonesia's most underdeveloped provinces with a particularly high burden for TB. In this study, we sequenced and described 42 MTB L1 isolates from a well-characterized cohort of patients. We found a genetically diverse MTB L1 population with no association between pathogen genetic relatedness and place of residence or pathogen genetic relatedness and patient ethnicity, which could reflect mixing between different locales and ethnicities or our low sampling fraction. Only a small number showed genetic variants associated with drug resistance (5/42, 11.9 %), probably due to a lack of effective treatment programs. The Papuan isolates showed similarities to other Island Southeast Asian Countries due to the high proportion of L1.2.1.2.1 (30/42, 71.4 %), especially East Timor and the Philippines. This study fills a research gap of MTB L1 in Indonesian Papua and should serve as a stepping stone for further research in the region.

Annual and Interannual Rainfall Variability in Indonesia Using Empirical Orthogonal Function (EOF) Analysis and Its Response to Ocean-Atmosphere Dynamics

We investigate rainfall variability in Indonesia using the Empirical Orthogonal Function (EOF) method. The analysis starts by taking three main modes of EOF results, namely EOF1, EOF2, and EOF3. The EOF1 region is southern Indonesia, from southern Sumatra to Timor Island, parts of Kalimantan, parts of Sulawesi, and parts of Irian Jaya. The EOF2 region is located in northwestern Indonesia and includes the northern part of Sumatra and the northwestern part of Kalimantan. The EOF3 region covers Maluku. This study aims to analyze the annual and inter-annual variability of rainfall in anticipation of the threat of hydrometeorological disasters. Based on the correlation value of the principal component (PC) with the dipole mode index (DMI) and Niño3.4 index, it has a period similar to El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD). Rainfall in Indonesia is very sensitive to sea surface temperature (SST) in the southeastern Indian Ocean and the central Pacific Ocean, which means that rainfall patterns in Indonesia can change significantly if SST in the region changes.

Mangrove management practices, policies, and impacts in New Guinea

Mangrove forests of the island of New Guinea are some of the largest and most diverse in the Asia-Pacific region. Located across Indonesia and Papua New Guinea, these forests are relatively undisturbed compared to the surrounding regions. However, mangroves here face rising pressures by coastal development (aquaculture, agriculture, and settlements) and natural resource extraction (forestry, oil and gas exploration, and unsustainable fishery practices). This study synthesises the current state of mangroves and compares differences in management practices and policies between Indonesian New Guinea and Papua New Guinea. Through a Driver-Pressure-State-Impact-Response framework analysis, we found that peripheral or watershed drivers such as logging upstream, agriculture (including oil palm), oil and gas, and mining, could cause substantial pressure on the mangroves. In Indonesia, there are rigid policies and practices regulating each driver. However, overlapping, and contradicting regulations often do not acknowledge other land uses within the same area, which limits policy implementation. Papua New Guinea's coastal regulations encounters similar difficulties, with additional issues of delegating decision making to local administrations. Management practices such as national scale emissions accounting and Integrated Coastal Zone Management plans need to prioritize regulating the peripheral and internal drivers to maintain mangrove ecosystem services. Challenges for implementation include fragmented management, scarce capacity building and lack of data for decision making. Sustained funding for local coordination among managing agencies and data collection is key for a successful mangrove management.

Spatial Data Handling System in The Nasai Village Area, South Papua

Merauke Regency is one of the districts in the South Papua Province, geographically located between 1370 - 1410 East Longitude and 50 - 90 South Latitude. With an area of ​​up to 45,013.35 km2 or 38.2 percent of the total area of ​​South Papua Province, making Merauke Regency the largest district not only in South Papua Province but also among other districts in Indonesia. Administratively, Merauke Regency has 22 districts. With the expansion of new provincial territories, Merauke Regency became part of South Papua Province along with Boven Digoel, Asmat and Mappi Regencies. This expansion is based on Law No. 14 of 2022. Merauke has 22 districts/sub-districts and 190 villages. The existence of 190 villages means that spatial data collection is still considered a normal thing, even though spatial data collection in an area is very important, especially with current technological advances. Accurate and integrated management of spatial data is important in planning and decision making in a region, especially in the Nasai Village area, South Papua. This research aims to examine a comprehensive spatial data handling system in this area, using Geographic Information System (GIS) technology as a tool. The methods used in this research include identifying needs and problems related to spatial data, collecting spatial and non-spatial data, as well as designing an integrated geographic information system. It is hoped that the results of this research will provide an overview of the current condition of spatial data management in Nasai Village and provide system recommendations that can increase the efficiency and effectiveness of geographic information management in the area.

Penerapan Produk Blue Economy Melalui Pembuatan Nugget Udang Di Kampung Matara Merauke Papua Selatan

and sustainability of natural potential so that marine resources are maintained and can be used by the next generation. Matara Village is a coastal area in Merauke, south papua South Papua Province which has abundant marine potential. One of them is shrimp which is a leading commodity in this village. The use of shrimp is still limited to selling them whole. In the process, the shrimp are sold at cheap prices to agents and often the small shrimp are not sold so they are wasted which ultimately causes an unpleasant smell on the beach. Apart from that, fishermen in Matara Village generally live in the lower middle economic strata. The abundance of marine products has not been processed optimally. In fact, if the Blue Economy is implemented optimally, it can increase the income of the people there. Training and assistance in making Blue Economy products in the form of shrimp nuggets was provided to the women of Matara Village. as an effort to increase the economic value of shrimp, increase the variety of healthy foods that are contemporary and popular with all groups, overcome waste caused by unsold small shrimp, and can increase income variations This activity was carried out by Musamus University KKN lecturers and students for 1 month. This activity was carried out by observing the community, lectures about the importance of implementing the Blue Economy concept in coastal areas, demonstrations and assistance in making shrimp nuggets, and surveying community satisfaction. This activity was responded very well by the community and said that assistance should be carried out in the manufacture of Blue Economy products in the future

Local Food Culture Festival Management Model in Papua

This research is a continuation of research and service as well as articles presented in international seminars and Bapenas FGDs. Research, PkM, International Seminars and FGDs from BAPENAS that have been carried out provide an illustration that Papua has great potential in local food, especially those made from sago. This is supported by the availability of sago forests and people who are starting to understand the preservation of sago forests and people who are creative in processing sago food in various preparations. However, the community has not yet found the right form to promote local food well and have a big impact. Conditions like this provide an opportunity for the government and academics to play a role in formulating the right strategy and realizing it in a major activity that can be known by many people nationally and internationally. One of the activities that can support the condition of people who are in this position is the government implementing a Local Food Culture Festival which is held on a scheduled schedule every year. This research aims to create a management model for local food culture festivals which is carried out in 2 (two) stages, namely Phase I (2023) sharing knowledge of the research team with festival management experts at UNY as well as concocting a suitable or appropriate form for festival management in Merauke Regency, as well as Benchmarking at several Cultural Festivals organized by the Yogyakarta Special Region Government (DIY) in September 2023, and Phase II (2024) the research team will carry out education and FGDs for 3 days for the Tourism and Culture Offices of Merauke Regency and South Papua Province as well as the candidates festival participants from the local food business community. The results of this research found that organizing a festival requires high synergy from the organizing team itself and from the government and sponsors. The most important thing is that it is necessary to carry out a survey or initial analysis of the festival theme which can describe the vision of the activities, potential and targets to be achieved by the festival. The budget and activity plan must be determined well in advance so that it can be included in the annual expenditure of sponsors or local governments. The selection of the organizing team must also be a professional team or a combination of a professional team and the sponsor, so that the implementation can go according to plan. Apart from that, the community must also be involved or empowered to participate. What is different about festivals held in the Papua region is the very dominant role of local communities involved in helping to improve the economy of the local population and promoting existing Papuan culture, apart from that there is still a lack of third parties who are willing to sponsor festival activities in Papua, especially Papuan cultural and local food festival.
