Issues of oil spills in various locations worldwide have been widely published in several studies. However, studies on policy management and strategies for handling cases related to oil spills are still limited. As one of the largest oil-producing countries with international shipping traffic, Indonesia is vulnerable to oil spills. Therefore, by drawing upon evidence from Bintan Island, this study aims to provide recommendations for stakeholders concerning governance and policy to address the oil spill case, which has had adverse social, economic, and environmental impacts. Data were collected from semi-structured interviews, focus group discussion, observation, actual online news, and official government reports using a case study approach. The result indicates that the local government is slow in responding to Bintan Island’s reoccurring yearly oil spillage. Policy responses are still focused on repressive and conventional methods. Hence, preventive and multi-stakeholder governance is required to handle oil spills. Furthermore, this study provides an overview of the oil spill problem and its management strategy in developing countries, especially Indonesia.
Marine potential does not only store economic potential, but also preserves other potentials from ecological, geopolitical, geostrategic to the potential for international conflicts that make security at sea very essential for all countries in the world. This article aims to analyze maritime security or maritime security with a bibliometric approach using the Scopus database. The main search keyword used was “Maritime Security” employing the VOSviewer application for evaluating several clusters. Meanwhile, the NVivo12 application was used as a tool for analyzing wordcloud. In a nutshell, the highest year of research related to maritime security occurred in 2019 and America became the country which most often wrote literature on maritime security. In addition, most research trends are investigating maritime security with a focus on countries’ strategies to anticipate risks and threats that arise in the maritime sector by conducting cluster mapping. To sum up, this article conclusively informs that maritime security requires the international definition for future studies.
The formulation of climate change impacts in Semarang produced five major issues: flooding, tidal flood, landslides, drought and outbreaks of infectious diseases. Rain Water Harvesting Program implemented by Regulation of the Minister of Environment No. 12 in 2009 was an attempt by Semarang government for adaptation to climate change. This evaluation aims to determine the results of the implementation and the factors that affect the implementation of the program. The results can be seen through the implementation of an evaluation process based on the Model Evaluation System Analysis in inputs, processes and outputs Based on Suitability Model by David C. Korten factors that support and hinder namely compatibility between programs with beneficiaries, the fit between programs by implementing organizations and the fit between user groups with the implementing organization. Based on the existing obstacles in the implementation of the Program Harvesting Rain Water Environment Agency of Semarang, the authors give a recommendation either: (1) changes in socialization patterns, (2) not only focus on physical development but the socialization benefits of using rainwater, (3) improving access to information for community, (4) make scientific criteria for target groups, (5) integrated with IMB licensing requirements.
ABSTRAK Konsep pengelolaan berbasis masyarakat dalam pembangunan sarana pengolahan air limbah domestik komunal disinyalir hanya mengedepankan pembangunan fisik saja tanpa memperhatikan kesiapan sumber daya manusia di tingkat lokal sehingga sering kali pembangunan sarana tersebut gagal dan tidak berkelanjutan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui status keberlanjutan sistem pengelolaan air limbah (IPAL) komunal berbasis masyarakat di Kota Probolinggo serta merumuskan strategi yang diperlukan untuk mempertahankan keberlanjutan sistem. Penelitian dilakukan di Kelurahan Pilang dan Mayangan dengan jumlah responden total 107 orang yang mewakili keluarga pemanfaat sarana IPAL komunal. Status keberlanjutan sistem pengelolaan air limbah komunal di Kota Probolinggo masuk kategori sedang dengan skor 2,30. Kondisi tersebut didukung oleh pemilihan teknologi yang tepat baik dari sisi kehandalam maupun kemudahan pengoperasian dan pemeliharaannya sehingga menghasilkan penurunan beban pencemaran yang tinggi. Pengelolaan air limbah domestik komunal dilakukan oleh kelembagaan di tingkat lokal dalam berbentuk Kelompok Swadaya Masyarakat (KSM), namun dalam pelaksanaannya belum sepenuhnya optimal. Telah memiliki mekanisme pembiayaan untuk operasional dan pemeliharaan, keterlibatan masyarakat dalam pembangunan dilakukan melalui kontribusi dalam bentuk incash dan inkind, sedangkan keterlibatan masyarakat dalam tahap operasional yang nampak adalah kesediaan membayar iuran rutin sebesar Rp. 1000/bulan untuk Kelurahan Pilang dan Rp. 3000/bulan untuk Kelurahan Mayangan. Strategi yang diperlukan dalam upaya meningkatkan keberlanjutan sistem pengelolaan air limbah domestik komunal di Kota Probolinggo adalah pengembangan kapasitas masyarakat dan kelembagaan pengelola air limbah, pengembangan alternatif pembiayaan pengelolaan air limbah berbasis kemitraan, dan peningkatan koordinasi serta pembagian peran pada POKJA sanitasi dalam mendukung pengelolaan air limbah di tingkat lokal.

Making regulation is the primary function of the modern state. Current praxis shows how there is positive and negative cooperation among policy participant in the process of local legislation. Many Indonesian scholars give attention to the politics of law and citizens participation in understanding this process. However, they do not give detail analysis on cooperation among policy participant during the legislation process. Drawing on qualitative methods, this article applies the Advocacy Coalition Framework (ACF) to understand the process of local legislation in South Sumatra Province. This article selects The Provincial Regulation of South Sumatera No. 8 of 2016 on the Forest Fires Mitigation as a case study due to the nature of forest fires as the public problem that obtains attention from various actors. Several key informants representing the executive and the legislative at the local level is selected using the purposive technique as a source of primary data. The secondary data is collected from the official publication of the policy participant, newspaper, and social media. Using interactive models and NVIVO software to code and analyse research data, this article finds that the secondary policy belief (SPB) among policy participant could be similar partially or wholly. This similarity is the foundation of policy participant to make an advocacy coalition. This article identifies two advocacy coalition in legislation process of The Provincial Regulation of South Sumatera No. 8 of 2016 on the Forest Fires Mitigation: ‘the local wisdom’ coalition vs. ‘the no burning policy' coalition.
