The type of data used is primary and secondary data. Primary data obtained by non-probability sampling, obtained as many as 30 domestic tourists and foreign tourists as many as 30 people, with the method of analysis of ordinary least square (OLS). Secondary data was obtained from the Central Statistics Agency, Tourism Office and other study literature. The results showed that for domestic tourists, the independent variables on travel costs, alternative costs, time costs, and income had significant effect on the number of domestic tourist visits with an R² value of 0.690. In foreign tourists, the independent variables of travel costs, alternative costs, and income have a significant effect on the number of visits, while the cost of time has no effect on the value of R² 0.693. The average value of WTP of foreign tourists is greater than that of domestic tourists, namely domestic tourists with a WTP of 4,000,000 rupiahs while foreign tourists are 217,000,000 rupiah.

Trade liberalization is currently demanding every country to increase the competitiveness of its products. Indonesia as the largest clove producer in the world has a major competitor in the international market. This study aims to determine the competitiveness of Indonesia's clove exports and competing countries in the international market and determine the factors that affect its competitiveness. The data used in this study are secondary data from five major producing countries namely Indonesia, Madagascar, Tanzania, Sri Lanka, and Comoros during the period 2000-2017 sourced from UNComtrade, FAO and the World Bank. Competitiveness is measured by Revealed Comparative Advantage (RCA), Acceleration Ratio (AR) and Export Product Dynamic (EPD) while the factors that affect competitiveness are used panel data regression methods using E-Views software. The results showed that Indonesia had the lowest RCA index, the AR value showed Madagascar and Tanzania were able to capture market share in the international market and the EPD value showed that all countries occupied the rising star position except Sri Lanka in the falling star position. Panel data regression analysis results show that the market share and GDP variables significantly influence the competitiveness of the main clove producing countries while the production variables and export prices do not significantly influence the country's competitiveness. The government must dare to take policies to limit clove imports and increase exports.

ABSTRAKUU Cipta Kerja dalam Pasal 39 ayat (2) untuk pertama kali mengatur keputusan kelayakan lingkungan harus diumumkan melalui sistem elektronik. Secara bersamaan, penyebaran Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) terbukti telah menjadi pemicu bagi Pemerintah dalam melakukan percepatan pengembangan penyusunan dan penilaian Amdal melalui sistem elektronik ‘Amdal.net’, yang seharusnya, juga menjadi penyelesaian baru bagi banyaknya masalah transparansi dan sengketa informasi dokumen Amdal di Indonesia selama ini. Aturan tersebut seolah dibuat agar mampu meyakinkan masyarakat bahwa transparansi akan lebih terjamin, padahal regulasi serupa yang ada juga belum terlaksana dengan baik, bahkan UU Cipta Kerja menghilangkan prinsip pemberian informasi dokumen Amdal yang sebelumnya terakomodir dalam Pasal 26 ayat (2) UU PPLH. Metode Penulisan dalam tulisan ini menggunakan metode pendekatan yuridis normatif. Tahap Penulisan melalui penulisan kepustakaan yang dilakukan dengan mencari data sekunder termasuk bahan hukum primer, sekunder, dan tersier. Tulisan ini merupakan suatu bentuk analisis kritis atas belum adanya pengaturan Amdal yang memadai terkait transparansi pengumuman usulan rencana usaha, dokumentasi saran, pendapat, tanggapan (SPT) masyarakat dan tanggapannya, hingga transparansi dokumen Amdal dalam pengumuman penerbitan Izin Lingkungan. Hal ini agar peraturan perundang-undangan di masa depan terkait pelaksanaan transparansi informasi dokumen Amdal dapat menghasilkan perbaikan signifikan, melalui sistem elektronik sebagai pembentukan sistem pengawasan publik.Kata kunci: analisis mengenai dampak lingkungan hidup (amdal); sistem informasi lingkungan hidup; transparansi informasi dokumen lingkungan. ABSTRACTArticle 39 Paragraph (2) of Indonesian Omnibus Law, for the first time, regulates that the decision of the Amdal must be announced through electronic system. The Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has become a trigger for the government to speed up the development of environmental impact assesment (Amdal) through electronic system (Amdal.net), that should also resolve many transparency issues and information disputes regarding Amdal in Indonesia. Hence, the regulation was made to guarantee the transparency improvement to the public, however, similar regulations before have never been fully implemented. Even further, Omnibus Law has eliminated Amdal document information providing principles which previously accomodated on Article 26 Protection and Management of Environment Law. Used research method is juridical normative. Writing phase is done by finding secondary data using primary, secondary and tertiary legal materials. This paper is a form of critical analysis of the absence of adequate regulations regarding Amdal related to the transparency of the proposal, records of the citizen input with the documents of response, and also the decisions. So that, the future regulation regarding Amdal documents transparency, through Electronic System will result in significant improvements, as a supportive public law supervision system.Keywords: environmental document and information transparency; environmental impact assesment (amdal); environmental information system.

The catastrophe that the world is now facing in the form of COVID-19, has affected most of the world economies and financial markets as a result of lockdown, travelling restrictions, and social distances. The present study attempted to investigate the effects of COVID-19 on the stock returns of the Pakistan Stock Exchange. The data employed comprises daily prices of Pakistan Stock Exchange, the daily value of exchange rate over the period 01 January 2011 to 30 April 2021, and a dummy variable for COVID-19 which takes 1 for the period during COVID-19 and 0 for the period before. The data were sourced from the Karachi Stock Exchange website, National Institute of Health Sciences Pakistan, and State Bank of Pakistan. We applied the autoregressive conditional heteroskedastic (ARCH) and the associate generalized autoregressive conditionally heteroskedastic (GARCH) approaches to analyze the impact. Our findings revealed that a negative relationship exists between our variables of interest with mean returns and a positive relationship with the volatility of the KSE-100 index. This implies that the COVID-19 pandemic has affected the stock price and increases the volatility of the KSE-100 index, and further affects the financial system. The study recommends that an urgent and powerful response is needed on the part of the government,including strong measures to prevent a severe stock market crash in Pakistan in near future.

Descriptive Method

The deficit experienced by Health Social Security Fund (Dana Jaminan Sosial/DJS) Kesehatan encourages the Government to look forward to the alternative policies that are focused on efforts to strengthen DJS Kesehatan revenues and expenditure efficiency. In 2018, the Government implemented policies of the obligation to use the Cigarette Tax and General Allocation Fund (DAU) intercept (for local government who have National Health Security (JKN) arrears to cover the DJS Kesehatan deficit. The purpose of this study is to see the effectiveness of the obligation to use cigarette tax and DAU intercept in reducing the DJS Kesehatan deficit. The method used is a comparative descriptive method with a quantitative approach using secondary data and information from BPJS Kesehatan. From the analysis, we found that the policy of using cigarette tax and DAU intercept is not effective enough in overcoming the DJS Kesehatan deficit. The other impact is the potency to increase the number of Regional Health Security (Jamkesda) participants registered within the regional government and increase the compliance of regional governments in paying JKN contributions.
