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.

Tourism is one of the highest factors to encourage economic growth. Tourism development in Indonesia is mostly carried out through the development of tourist villages. Tourism must be designed in order to create a positive impact on society, especially related to economic improvement. One of the Tourism Villages in Central Java is Lerep Village located in West Ungaran district, Semarang Regency which has various agrotourism potentials. This study aims to analyze: "How is the tourism development of Lerep Tourism Village?". This study used a qualitative approach with data collection methods through literature, participatory observation and interviews. In this study review based on 3P+4A, i.e. Price, Place, Promotion and Attraction, Access, Amenity, and Ancillary. Reviewed from 3P+4A, the tourism development of Lerep Village has been very good with regarding to environmental conditions and local wisdom as a superior base for its Tourism package. In terms of the price of the tour package, it is quite affordable and in accordance with the facilities provided. The promotion aspect is an aspect that is still not optimal, thus, it is necessary to optimize tourism promotion through social media. The tourist attractions provided are abundantly varied, but to maintain the sustainability of tourism and so that tourism is not monotonous Access to the Lerep Tourism Village is an aspect that needs special attention for policy makers considering that access to the Lerep Tourism Village, such as roads and the availability of public transportation, is very limited.tourism

In Indonesia, the rate of sea level rise is expected to continue to increase. As a result, 115 small islands in Indonesia are threatened with sinking in 2100. Not only because of the high intensity of rain, this condition is also closely related to current environmental problems where weather changes occur due to global warming. A warmer earth will eventually have an impact on increasing the volume of seawater due to the melting of icebergs. This increase threatens the lives of people living in coastal areas. In fact, this condition is exacerbated by the phenomenon of land subsidence that has occurred in 112 coastal districts/cities in Indonesia, where the highest land subsidence occurs in the coastal city of Pekalongan. The combination of sea level rise and land subsidence makes tidal disasters unavoidable, resulting in the vulnerability of the people living in the area. Not only hinders community activities, but also causes damage to infrastructure, so a flood prevention and management strategy is needed. Various studies on tidal flooding have been carried out in Pekalongan City with various perspectives, such as the use of Geographic Information Systems/GIS, disaster prevention strategies, social and economic vulnerability to tidal flooding, environmental service assessment, and changes in land use. This study analyzes the government's policy on tidal flooding in Pekalongan City and its impact on urban flooding. This type of research is qualitative, using primary data and secondary data. The head and staff of the service are the main sources of research, to analyze existing policies related to flood inundation in Pekalongan City, especially in North Pekalongan District as the research location.
