The new policy to provide broad flexibility to capture lobster seeds is the same as opening up massive exploitation and welcoming the extinction of lobster seeds in Indonesia. The commitment of lobster seed exporters to develop cultivation is very doubtful and is suspected of using partnerships with lobster cultivators as an effort to obtain a lobster seed export license only. After obtaining the license, the exporters are predicted to break the partnership agreement. Therefore, there needs to be an evaluation, given that business actors are not ready with supporting facilities and infrastructure to carry out the cultivation. This qualitative research leads to a case study of the impact of a new policy regarding the export of lobster seeds on the sustainability of lobster in Indonesia. This study uses primary data and secondary data to explore and explain the impact of Minister of Marine Affairs and Fisheries Regulation Number 12 of 2020 in order to draw general conclusions and support the theory.

The tea plantations of Assam, which constitute the country’s 53.97 per cent tea area, 49 per cent tea worker population, and 52.04 per cent tea production, occupy an important place in the economy, culture and polity of the state. The onset of tea plantations during British colonial rule has not only changed the landscape of the upper Brahmaputra valley through green tea bushes being nourished by tea tribes from east-central India, but also evolved a distinct tea culture. Although formation of small tea growers has added a new dimension to the growth of tea industry of Assam in recent times, the culture that emerged due to the long continued interaction of British planters, tea worker tribes and indigenous Assamese is well reflected in the language, way of life, work culture, food habits and many other socio-cultural practices in most of the large tea estates in the state. In fact, the impact of tea culture is so penetrative that it has been able to bring about development in the form of tea festival, tea tourism, tea folk songs and dances, etc. in the state. An attempt is made in this paper to explore the role of tea plantation and the people associated with it to the socio-cultural transformation of Assam based on both secondary data and primary data through field study. The primary data have been collected from selected tea estates, tea garden worker colonies, tea-tribe villages and urban dwellers.

<p><strong>ABSTRAK</strong></p><p>Pro kontra mewarnai pembangunan reklamasi pulau di Indonesia, hal ini seperti yang terjadi pada reklamasi teluk Jakarta. Pro kontra ini terjadi karena belum adanya pengaturan yang jelas dan mengatur khusus mengenai reklamasi pulau di Indonesia. Pro kontra ini juga terjadi karena seberapa besar urgensi dilakukannya reklmasi khusunya terkait dengan kebutuhan tanah untuk memenuhi kebutuhan rumah masyarakat dan untuk siapa dirasakan manfaat dari kebijakan pembangunan reklamasi pulau tersebut. Dalam penelitian ini digunakan spesifikasi penelitian deskriptif analitis, dengan metode pendekatan yuridis normatif, yaitu metode pendekatan yang menitikberatkan pada penelitian kepustakaan yang merupakan data sekunder dengan didukung oleh data primer. Pembaruan agraria harus dimaknai adanya keadilan dalam penguasaan dan peruntukkan tanah, lebih jauh reklamasi pulau harus dilaksanakan dalam dalam rangka reforma agraria. Reklamasi pulau dapat dilakukan kalau seandainya tanah hasil reklamasi dibangun dan dikuasai sepenuhnya oleh negara serta diperuntukkan untuk masyarakat tidak mampu yang tidak mempunyai tanah. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan pembangunan reklamasi teluk Jakarta tidak sesuai dengan prinsip-prinsip dalam pembaruan agraria, yaitu pemenuhan kebutuhan tanah untuk masyarakat miskin di ibu kota.</p><p><strong>Kata kunci:</strong> agraria; pembaruan; reklamasi.</p><p><br /><em><strong>ABSTRACT</strong></em></p><p><em>Controversy of coloring the reclamation development of the island in Indonesia, this is like what happened to the reclamation of the bay of Jakarta. This controversy is due to the absence of clear and specific arrangements regarding the reclamation of the island in Indonesia. This controversy is also due to the urgency of reclamation especially in relation to the need of the land to meet the needs of the community homes and for whom the benefits of the island's reclamation development policy will be felt. In this research, it is used analytical descriptive research specification, with normative juridical approach method, that is approach method which focus on library research which is secondary data supported by primary data. Agrarian reform should be interpreted as a justice in the control and designation of the land, further the reclamation of the island must be implemented within the framework of agrarian reform. The reclamation of the island can be done if in case the reclaimed land is built, it is fully controlled by the state and devoted to the landless society. The results show that the reconstruction of the bay of Jakarta is incompatible with the principles of agrarian reform, namely the fulfillment of land needs for the poor in the capital.</em><br /><em></em></p><p><em><strong>Keywords:</strong> agrarian; renewal; reclamation.</em></p>

Background: The Integrated Childhood Development Services (ICDS) scheme is India’s foremost program imparting comprehensive and cost-effective services to meet the multi-dimensional needs of children. Following a populist approach, the program has now increased its umbrella coverage to reproductive age, pregnant and lactating women. The impact of such development and existing program performance remain debatable due to the paucity of evaluation research.Methods: A mix-methods descriptive case study was done using adapted ICDS monitoring tool in a pre-identified slum. The slum was purposely chosen for its intensive habitation of the poor and marginalized population. Primary data were collected through personalized interviews with program staff, health functionaries, and community representatives. Secondary data were collected from records available at Anganwadi centre (AWC). The data were triangulated and analyzed with results being expressed in narrative, simple proportions and percentages.Results: The mean coverage of ICDS services was 58.3%. Maximum coverage recorded for Supplementary Nutrition (SN) and minimal for Nutrition and Health Education (NHE). SN, immunization, Pre-school education (PSE) and growth monitoring (0-3 years) were regularly held. Maternal and child health services were unsatisfactory. Poor community perception reported for AWC and ICDS services with exception of SN.Conclusions: Present case study unveils poor infrastructure, coverage and community participation for ICDS services. Immunisation and referral networking is often dysfunctional reflecting the need for enhanced intersectoral cooperation. Adapted tools could serve as an effective strategy for evaluating and facilitating need-based improvements.
