There are various legal issues faced by Indonesian Manpower (TKI) who work abroad starting from administrative to criminal categories. Some examples are the wages which are not paid by the employer, persecution up to rape. In addition to problems, overseas Indonesian workers who have just come from abroad also have some problems, such as extortion and illegal levy as revealed by the Corruption Eradication Commission on July 26, 2014. As a sovereign state Indonesia has the obligation to provide legal protection to workers who are facing legal problems. There are some forms of legal protection that have been conducted by the government namely making laws and regulations governing migrant workers, and the establishing the bodies that oversee workers (BNP2TKI) and legal efforts by the Indonesian government in case there are workers who are charged with death sentence. From all the above legal protections, there is one more important thing to do to protect migrant workers that is in the form of providing the employment in Indonesia. It is stipulated in the 1945 Constitution article 27 subsection (2) which says that every citizen has the right to get work which is based on humanity. The availability of employment will let Indonesian workers get the job in Indonesia instead of abroad. The next impact is a classic problem associated with the Indonesian government limitations in providing legal assistance in connection with the locus delicti outside Indonesia will also be resolved. The forms of provision of employment is started with the establishment of Law governing the ease of forming a business entity as well as the ease of investing equally in all parts of Indonesia. It should also be established a law that requires every business entity either owned by the government or the private sector to employ Indonesian in a large percentage. With these steps, the problems related to workers which happen from year to year can be resolved completely. read more

On January 1, 2015, is the beginning of era for ASEAN as in that date ASEAN Community has been effective. Indonesia, as well as the other nine member states of ASEAN have to face reality that trade of service effective of that date will be freely flowing from one ASEAN member states to another (ASEAN Secretariat, 2013), including air transportation. It is both a good news and bad news for Indonesia, as not all of air transportation services traded, namely ?hard rights? and ?soft rights?, are well prepared by the Indonesia side, as only few of them has been prepared well by Indonesia compared to other ASEAN member states (Martono, et.al., 2013). This law paper is conducted using normative descriptive method and is aimed to analyze two aspects. Those are: analyzing legal framework for air transportation ?hard right? as well ?soft rights? traded among ASEAN member states and analyzing the legal framework available in Indonesia prior to the official announcement of ASEAN Community in 2015 as well as effective date to start the ASEAN Single Aviation Market (ASAM). The result of this paper will be the broad view of the rate of advancement in air transportation trade of services legal framework in each ASEAN member states. For Indonesia, this paper will be a guide to develop the lagging air transportation legal framework compared with other ASEAN member states and is hoped that can be used as a roadmap for Indonesia to be leveled with other advanced ASEAN member states. read more

decade. It is an alternative means to empower Community for greater access to tourism activities and enhance local community livelihood. Commonly, CBT is perceived as a tool for poverty and for vulnerable groups. However, many CBT projects are ineffective. The main reason is the lack of community participation and financial viability. After months or years, when the fund used up, many CBT initiatives collapse. The purpose of this paper is to invoke the case of the CBT?s implementation in Karanganyar Village near the world heritage, Borobudur Compound in Central Java-Indonesia. Karanganyar Village has an excellent tourism potential indeed, which is supported by community run gallery and training center related to ceramic and jam production. In order to evaluate this tourism potentiality, the development of CBT thanks to fruitful collaboration between the local government of Magelang Regency, UNESCO and Australian Aid. Particularly, the objective is to determine whether the project led to empowering and facilitating the community participation in tourism activities. This evaluation could be done through analyzing the method of implementation and participatory process of the project. A deeper level of analysis will help to understand the challenges for the success of this initiative: the Product development with a focus to local resources and culture, the linkages between private sectors and local communities, the community?s participation, and the project evaluation process. In doing so, the research approach is by observations, interview with key informants and survey questionnaire were made with the local community during and after the launching of the project on May 2014. It has permitted to get information about local people involvement into the project. Unfortunately, the findings showed that the degree of local communities?participation during the project implementation needs to be improved. Apparently, some beneficiary outside the village like trainers is much more involved into it than the local residents. Moreover, raw materials for the ceramic and jam production are imported from neighborhood villages. In reality, however, participation is a continuum based on the start of the project and through its planning, management, delivery and evaluation. An active Community participation can enhance the project and may lead it to success. For better results, sustainable alliance between multiple actors should be developed. The challenge for CBT in Karanganyar is to identify the source of local community participation limitations into tourism activities. The paper concludes with the arguments that CBT should be developed for local communities and participation is the soul of an empowered community. read more

One of the way to eradicate poverty is providing jobs for people. Based on the figure from Ministry of Cooperatives and Small and Medium Enterprises, only 0.08% out of 55,206,444 enterprises are considered as medium scale. Therefore, it is impossible such a small quantity of enterprises could provide jobs for hundred millions of people. The biggest percentage is 98.83% which is dominated by micro industries. With such huge percentage, providing work capital and technical assistance are the most important things to support those industries. The research of this paper is focusing in development communications between Sudara Indra Cooperative who provides Tabur Puja Scheme at Posdaya Tunas Bangsa in East Bekasi. How communication role plays upon distributing the scheme to Posdaya Tunas Bangsa members, and day to day communications being effected to provide technical assistance to ensure the development and the progress of the micro industries as creditor of Tabur Puja scheme.

Tourism is one of the largest and fastest growing industries in the world. It is often seen as a key element that can enable communities devastated by economic restructuring to regain and enhance their economic independence in regional and national economies, increasingly important source of income, employment and wealth in many countries. However, its rapid expansion has also had detrimental environmental and socio-cultural impact in many regions. This paper aims to examine the main economic benefits and review the development of the sustainable tourism at Karanganyar Village – Borobudur. Tourism economic benefit is important issue facing many local communities in Developing Countries and make tourism as an economic development strategy, local participation and empowerment especially for indigenous peoples, gender issues, ethical tourism, and cultural change. Questionnaires forms, interviews and direct observations are used to study the local community in the area. The local communities in Indonesia have the most invested in the sustainable tourism development on their culture, and that the success of this is encouraging other native groups. A sustainable development has to focus on the local community development, is not necessarily sustainable themselves, but can be used to empower local communities. Preservation of the local culture and local participation in tourism activities are being combined with the need to earn valuable tourism revenue. This will be achieved by emphasis and working partnership. There is a need to blending good profitable business, to emphasize the need for incorporating socio-cultural and economic considerations as well as to ensure true tourism sustainability in their area. As the government of Indonesia, Ausaid and UNESCO, showed help to Karanganyar Village on developing tourism activity in the area. Many local communities have lack of such opportunity especially in getting donor and other incentives from government and other stakeholders. These posed difficult questions, both for the international tourism industry and domestic who see tourism as a fast track to economic development. The research concludes that, to ensure new approaches to sustainable tourism development in Indonesia, we should not only seek to minimize local environmental impact, but also give greater priority to community participation and poverty reduction. It is important more emphasis should be given to a ‘pro-poor tourism’ market approach at both national and international levels. This paper is expected to provide awareness and brings to the forefront the potential that tourism has to promote new socio-economic opportunities and better livelihoods for local communities in Karanganyar Village while highlighting the critical role that community engagement has in advancing sustainable development. read more

environment degradation caused by human activities. As result, natural ecosystem of the river changes into artificial ecosystem that cannot give any natural ecosystem services completely. Watershed management should be integrated, which means all the components should be managed appropriately to achieve ecosystem sustainability. Thus, ecosystem services can keep giving its benefit to human and other users. Undirectly, well management of the ecosystem can reduce disaster risk that might occur in a watershed. Aim of this research is to identify the existence and types of ecosystem services in Gajahwong watershed. This research uses descriptive method to explain the existence and types of ecosystem services in Gajahwong watershed based on 12 observation spots. The 12 observation spots aredivided inupper, middle, and down area of the watershed. Ecosystem services of river is categorized in four types, those are provisioning, regulating, cultural, and supporting services. The result shows ecosystem of Gajahwong watershed, from up to down part, is still enabling to give ecosystem services for human in various types even though it is limited. Middle part of Gajahwong watershed is the least part in providing ecosystem services because it is located in city area therefore the existence of natural ecosystem is threatened to be extinct and replaced by artificial ecosystem. As recharge area, the upper part still provides complete ecosystem services. As well as the down part which its function as discharge area, there are still many natural ecosystem working as its capacity. read more

Participatory water management in community aims to anticipate the global warming effect in the area where lacking of water resources such as in Giripurwo. Participatory water management is an alternative solution towards limited water service in peri-urban areas. In the case of Giripurwo hamlet, there are three clean water sources, namely, Pego, Bekah and Tangis which have not yet effectively managed nor efficiently used. These sub-surface river have provided clean water using gravitational system to distribute clean water equally to each water reservoir in different administrative units. During rainy season local community relies upon rainwater reservoir or shallow dug well pump. However, it is common for them to buy clean water supply provided by regular tanks with proximately 5.000 IDR per liter during rainy or dry season. This research aims to observe effective capacity improvement to create better participatory water management in Giripurwo area. The research methods collects data using forum group discussion and describe research finding using qualitative manner. The preliminary result indicates that 1) participatory water management is somewhat lacking; 2) it requires further improvement which relates to increase local knowledge; 3) the promoted program to improve local capacity should engage with other stakeholder, such as academics, private sectors, non government organization and or local government. The local community have identified some possible activities such as, early education to clean water management, dissemination of water filtration management. In the micro scale, household level yet provide pivotal role in strengthening local capacity, however in macro scale, communal level have set target group to maintain clean water service. Initially, their institutional base to create better participatory water management has just started, however their ability to improve is promising, especially due to strong involvement from diverse stakeholders. read more
