Two years after being converted from wild cave into show cave, Pindul Cave, one of the most famous show caves in Gunung Kidul Regency, Yogyakarta is still considered not steady enough to serve as such a highly-visited tourist object. On the other hand, the existence of this cave as a tourist destination has significantly contributed to the economic activities of the local community. Based on the five principles/indicators proposed by UNEP & WTO, tourism activities in Pindul Cave belong to the community-based tourism including its management. At first, there is only one management responsible for managing Pindul Cave as a tourist object but today there are five managements that are altogether engaged in the tourism activities in the cave.

In addition, such a fragmented management is really unfavorable for tourism improvement activities especially the tourist convenience.

Rice is a basic commodity for the majority of the Indonesian population. With the characteristics of different regions, there is a surplus and deficit conditions of the commodity that causes the flow of commodities between regions. Road transportation plays an important role in the transport of goods between regions commodities, especially inside the islands. This study intends to examine the effect of road quality against rice prices in Indonesia. In addition to road conditions, the characteristics of the area are reviewed as well as producing region or not, assuming the surplus area will have a lower price level because transport distances closer. Analysis tool used is the econometric approach, with price as the dependent variable and condition of road infrastructure as well as the characteristics of the area as a regional staple surplus or deficit as the independent variable. The data used are cross section data in the provincial base. The model will be analyzed with a structured approach to Ordinary Least Square (OLS). Model is selected which has the best value of testing by testing first-order test (R2 value, the value of t). The results showed that the stable of road infrastructure has a significant role in reducing the cost of delivery of rice compared to unstable conditions, by a margin of Rp1, 988 per km. Stable road infrastructure will also enhance the competitiveness of f the production areas, so as to reduce the price of Rp532,91 per kg compared to Rp275,657 in production areas with road conditions are not stable. read more

Three media had been banned at that time in 1994, which were Tempo, Detik and Editor because the news was considered to jeopardize national stability. After Soeharto?s fall in 1998, Detik reappeared in the new form and this time in Detik magazine 68th edition, entitled Mimpi Membangkitkan Soeharto, there is news which specially discusses Soeharto figure and memory about him. By using Fairclough?s critical discourse analysis method and Foucault?s theory of discourse, in description level, it is found that there are kinds of practices in marginalizing Soeharto known by informants? choice, comparison to President Soekarno, mentioning Soeharto?s name without President title and negative data about him which are not balanced with positive data during Soeharto?s regime. In interpretation level, it is found that there is a discourse practice from media agent, especially Detik owner, Budiono Darsono who was Detik journalist in new order era when that magazine was banned. In explanation level, background of President General Election preparation 2014 also shapes Soeharto discourse in the text, such as Soeharto poster greeting people is used Republik Satu party for its political interest in President General Election preparation 2014.

Dieng Plateau is a leading tourist spot in Central Java, only the second place to Borobudur Temple. It is situated between two regencies, Banjarnegara and Wonosobo. Municipal governments of these regencies have already issued a policy on area spatial management plan, which governs a conservation of protected area functions. The legal statement of this plan is written down on the Municipal Government Act No. 11/2011-2031. This research applied a qualitative method in order to answer questions of the implementation of the policy on protected forest conservation in Dieng Plateau. Informants used for this research were collected by a purposive sampling technique. The research found phenomena dealing with the implementation and factors that inhibited the policy of the protected area conservation in Dieng Plateau. The policy has a purpose of restoring protective functions as nature should play its role. The policy involves concerned actors, such as Bappeda, Dinas Kehutanan dan Perkebunan, Dinas Pertanian, Badan Lingkungan Hidup, community leaders, and local farmers in Dieng area. The implementation communicated by each of these institutions has not been optimal because of sectoral egoism, lacking participation of local people, and lacking regulations that govern the protected area conservation. Parts of the area are still possessed by individuals and some local people are reluctant to a change in atttude towards excessive potato plantation, despite the plantation belongs to themselves. The research recommends legal assurance, which governs protected area conservation in individually-owned areas and an appropriate program that relocates the potato plantation without diminishing economic income of the farmers. read more
