Abstract Border areas can be a source of growth in food production in Indonesia. One of the provinces in the border areas having prospects as a source of food growth for export is West Kalimantan. This province has started to export food (mainly medium and special quality rice) to Malaysia via Sanggau district. However, food exports from the Kalimantan border are still in limited quantities and face several obstacles that have resulted in unsustainable food exports. This study aims to analyze the prospects and strategies for food exports (especially rice) from West Kalimantan border area. The study was conducted in September 2018 in three subdistricts of Sanggau District, namely Entikong, Sekayam, and Kembayan. Data were collected through focus group discussion, and SWOT analysis was employed. The results show that rice exports from the West Kalimantan border areas are in the Weakness-Opportunity (W-O) quadrant, indicating an opportunity to export but cannot yet be utilized because the existing strength is not enough to carry it out. The main opportunity is that the rice market actors are ready to export, while the main weakness is that the rice prices are not competitive with those from other exporting countries. The decision that can be taken is either (1) releasing existing opportunity and looking for other alternatives or (2) forcing them to work on this opportunity.

The development of canting batik industry has lagged, and the number has decreased compared to the batik industry. This industry is believed to have a potential passive market and can provide job opportunities for local workers, reducing urbanization. Based on this background, this research is needed to analyze the potential and innovation of canting batik industry in Central Java, Indonesia. We choose Central Java, based on the fact that the batik industries grew most in Pekalongan, Central Java. The article uses qualitative research. We use Focus Group Discussion and direct observation to map the competitiveness of SMEs. To see the most significant opportunities and challenges, we also use a SWOT analysis. The results of this study indicate that the growth of the canting stamped batik industry is relatively slow. Some of its causes are relatively expensive raw materials, low product demand, and local government support. SME players can use some strategies to make canting as a souvenir product, looking for alternative ways to non-brass raw materials, and cooperating with complementary industries, including the batik industry.

This study uses qualitative research method, throughinterviews and focus group discussion (FGD) to a number of informants, i.e. government officials,cultural actors, and community members. The implementation of the Minister of Education andCulture regulation that related to “the administrative procedures” of ICH policy has be done asgood as possible by Directorate of Values Internalization and Cultural Diplomacy. However, it isbelieved that the effort is still need to be improved. It seems that this is caused by poor technicalability for filling the form and misunderstanding about ICH, which often confused as havingthe same meaning and value with cultural heritage. Local stakeholders need to have the sameunderstanding about the importance of the regulation of president and of Ministry of Educationand Culture. Therefore, all the regions can carry out this policy together and contribute toeach other in protecting ICH through action programs. Bida’i, Songket, Sambas, and BetangTraditional House in West Kalimantan Province; and Makepung and Tektekan in Bali Provincehave been designated as ICH of Indonesia. However, conservation efforts should not stop at thisdetermination only.Keywords: Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH), Bida’i. Songket Sambas, Betang traditional house,Makepung and Tektekan AbstrakTujuan penelitian kebijakan Warisan Budaya Takbenda (WBTB) ini, adalah untuk: (1)mengetahui proses dan berbagai masalah dalam implementasi kebijakanWBTB Indonesia;(2) mengidentifikasi pihak-pihak yang terlibat dalam kebijakan WBTB yang telah didaftarkandan ditetapkan; dan (3) mengetahui rencana program aksi yang dilakukan oleh instansi terkaitterhadap penetapan WBTB Indonesia.

Hasil penelitian menunjukanbahwa implementasi Permendikbud yang terkait “prosedur administratif” KebijakanWBTB,telah dilakukan dengan maksimal oleh Direktorat INDB, beserta jajarannya. Meskipun demikian,dalam pelaksanaannya dirasakan kurang maksimal. Hal ini tampaknya, disebabkan kemampuanteknis pengisian formulir maupun pemahaman akan arti budaya takbenda seolah-olah samadengan cagar budaya. Perlu pemahaman dari stakeholders di daerah tentang pentingnya Perpresdan Permendikbud WBTB, sehingga kebijakan ini dapat bergerak bersama di daerah dan salingberkontribusi dalam melakukan perlindungan WBTB dalam bentuk program aksi. Bidai, SongketSambas, dan Rumah Betang di Provinsi Kalimantan Barat, serta Makepung dan Tektekan diProvinsi Bali sudah ditetapkan sebagai WBTB Indonesia. Upaya pelestarian seyogyanya tidakberhenti pada penetapan WBTB tersebut.Kata kunci: Warisan Budaya Takbenda (WBTB), Bidai (Bide’), Songket Sambas, Betang,Makepung dan Tektekan
