Indonesia is a country that seems to violate a number of widely held assumptions that comparative political scientists hold. For example, under Suharto's 30-year rule, corruption soared, but so did economic growth. In Riots, Pogroms, Jihad, John Sidel offers another false generalization for consideration, namely, that despite the rise of ethnic and religious violence in the world since 1990, the widespread religious violence experienced in Indonesia since the mid-1990s is not best understood as part of a global trend. Rather, he argues that “such broad-brush accounts offer little to illuminate the specific modalities of religious violence observed in Indonesia or to help examine the discernable but seemingly inexplicable shifts … in the forms, targets, processes of mobilization, and consequences of this violence in successive periods” (p. 11).

The number and growth of vehicles, is a separate issue associated with sustainable transportation. In 2014, recorded vehicle election in Indonesia reached more than 448 vehicles per 1,000 people. And specifically, for motorcycles reach 365 vehicles per 1,000 people. The growth of motor vehicles is significantly influenced by economic growth (measured by Gross Domestic Product - RGDP). When compared with motor vehicle growth, it can be concluded that the high growth rate of motor vehicles at the end of this decade actually impact on the decrease of RGDP. To see the trend between economic growth represented by RGDP and the growth of motor vehicle (motorcycle) needs a model. Motor vehicle growth model in Java can be approached with Gompertz function. This function is a negative exponential function with asymptote used is the highest value of motor vehicle ownership in DKI Jakarta Province is 1,299 motorcycles per 1,000 people.

Today, it is important to consider the problems of preserving the environment from macroeconomic positions, which enable to determine the main systemic causes of environmental degradation; identify those economic directions that affect the environment. This approach is especially relevant for countries and regions that have a specialization in raw materials. Purely environmental measures aimed at preserving nature will not have an effect without an environmentally balanced macroeconomic policy, since without taking into account and correcting the development of the entire economy and its sectors (fuel, energy, metallurgy, agrarian, etc.), the effect of direct environmental investments will be minimal. It is obvious that without the access of the nation to the trajectory of sustainable development it is problematic to ensure a high quality of economic growth. However, we have to determine that resourceproducing countries and regions are following another way – first the economic growth, and then purification and restoration of the environment. Here the methodological basis can be the approaches developed by international organizations and initiative groups in the field of environmental protection.
