Management Functions

Energy is the most basic need for human. Energy utilized in various areas to support various activities in daily life. Energy that commonly used by community now is fossil energy such as petroleum, natural gas and coal. Those energy resouces are not renewable energy that might have depletion vulnerability of supplies. Therefore, in order to always be used by society in supporting their daily activities, energy must be developed. The development of energy can be done by using a renewable energy that abundantly available in Indonesia. One of renewable energies that can be developed in Indonesia is biogas energy that comes from livestock manure management in biogas reactors. One of regions in Indonesia that has done development of biogas energy is Sangun Ratu Village Pubian Subdistrict Central Lampung Regency. The purpose of this research is to describe the energy sustainability development and achievement of energy independence based on biogas in Sangun Ratu Village. The method of this research is descriptive qualitative with data collection techniques resourced from observation, documentation and depth interviews. The results of this study are described based on development management functions consisting of planning, mobilizing natural resources, budgeting, implementing development, coordinating, monitoring and evaluating and supervising sustainable development efforts which consist of aligning needs with natural resources, development of human resources, a triangle of partnerships and development with a long-term perspective. Sustainable development through the development of biogas-based energy in Sangun Ratu Village has been carried out in a sustainable manner from the end of 2013 to 2019. However, energy independence in Sangun Ratu Village has not been achieved because only 15.11% of the total community uses biogas-based independent energy to meet their daily energy needs. days such as cooking, petromax lighting and the use of bio-slurry (biogas waste).

Unfortunately Hungary is not too rich in natural resources, so particularly important the materials and energy-saving technologies, waste recovery, increasing the share of renewable energy. It is a complex ecological strategy which priorities of the Hungarian education and calls on the student’s attention to ecological issues, pollution and the environmental load and look for specific opportunities for the realization of sustainable development. I consider, in addition to the specific operating continuously reduce costs of the campuses we should integrate the practical experience in to engineering education.

The Social

The objective of this manuscript is to present comments about the social technology involving the production of renewable energy using the digesters implemented by the Paulo Freire project in some country estates in Massapê and Jordão. For this, visits were necessary for these two municipalities, where it is possible to realize the importance of these digesters for the local people. Furthermore, some aspects affect the production in the field, such as the interaction among types of social technology and the importance of available natural resources for obtaining results that impact positively on the local economy and sustainable rural development. The diffusion of rural and environmentally sustainable development actions goes through the guarantee of resources for the development and autonomy of the population.

Renewable Natural Resources

The accelerated development of the global economy is leading to increasing consumption of natural resources. The exploitation of resources is moving at an accelerated pace, while their availability is decreasing. The biggest problem is the depletion of non-renewable and limited resources that are the carriers of the raw material base of energy and manufacturing industry, which calls into question the preservation of energy stability and efficiency at the global level. Uncontrolled industrial growth, accompanied by increasingly intensive depletion of non-renewable natural resources, especially fossil fuels, has caused enormous pollution of the environment and the entire planet. In the conditions of depletion of natural resources, negative climate changes accompanied by global warming and a serious threat to the survival of life, it is necessary to adopt and implement the concept of sustainable development. The concept of sustainable development explicitly aims to achieve optimal economic results, while preserving and improving the environment and the social component of development. Natural resources play an extremely important role in achieving economic growth and development. The aim of this paper is to point out the importance of renewable energy sources for achieving sustainable development. It is necessary to investigate the importance of renewable and non-renewable natural resources, as well as the factors that affect their exploitation, with the aim of successfully implementing the concept of sustainable development.

Regional Autonomy

Regional outonomy that is meant as right, authority and obligatory of the district (kabupaten/kota) to regulateand manage their own governance and community’s interests gave pressure impacts to the environmentalsustainability since its implementation in 2001. The spirit to utilize natural resources from the districtarea tend to explore the environment irresponsibly which resulted in degradation of the environmentalsustainability. The district policies had often not been assessed in detail before implementation especiallytheir impacts to the environment. This caused the regional autonomy went into a different direction,therefore it needs an improvement in the level of program determination, policy and regulation applied, sothat the spirit to conduct decentralised governance will be kept on the rules of sustainable developmentwhich is environmentally friendly.Key words : Sustainable Development, Regional Autonomy

East African Community

The article analyses the role of renewable energy in the process of the development of the energy market of the East African Community (EAC) . The author underlines the necessity of finding solutions for such challenges as rising wood and charcoal prices, deforestation, lack of affordable and reliable electricity for a large number of consumers. The study reveals that nowadays the percentage of people with access to modern sources of energy is very low, varying from 7 % in Burundi to 36% in Kenya, although the EAC countries made significant progress in 2000s. Most people in rural areas rely on traditional biomass for cooking and heating, which leads to ecological and health problems. The author concludes that renewable energy development is considered by the Community as one of the prospective ways for providing energy to remote regions in view of abundant solar, wind and geothermal resources. Their strategy aims at the construction of micro and mini hydro stations, stand-alone solar PV systems and off-grids for rural population usage. The study shows that the investment in off-grid renewables has been steadily rising in recent times . Analyzing grid-connected power generation electricity, the author elicits that it is also based on renewable electricity, which accounts for 65% of the total amount. Kenya, with the highest installed capacity in this sector, is investing mainly in geothermal, solar and wind sources of energy, while the others are focusing on hydropower and solar. For the purpose of attracting private investment, the EAC partner states adopted different regulations, including Feed-in Tariff, zero-VAT and GET FIT Programme. The author assumes that renewable energy financing is one of the main challenges despite the support of different international financial institutions, such as the World Bank, UNIDO, AfDB and others. Nowadays energy efficiency measures are becoming important instruments for the EAC countries resulted in power savings. The other important trend is increasing cooperation among them due to their grid-connected power systems in the East African Power Pool. In this context, in November 2017, the EAC Partner States adopted Energy Security Policy Framework, in order to ensure the sustainable development of their energy sector.
