Despite the government support for economic development in some coastal areas in Indonesia, the paradigm about women’s agency remains almost the same. This is because women are still marginalized. This paper focuses on looking at agency of women in managing their resources. This study proves that women are active agents in coastal areas of North Gorontalo. Specifically, in the seaweed production, empirical evidences show significantly that women's associations succeeded in gaining economic advantages, participatory leadership, and had adaptability towards changes in technology and seaweed market. Applying a qualitative research approach, this study illustrates a number of policy subjects, organizational patterns, regional opportunity, and actors that support the centrality of women’s organizational capabilities in the field of seaweed production in the north coast of Gorontalo. This study justifies the tendency in Gorontalo, and perhaps in other areas in Indonesia, that women groups have an economic reputation in the seaweed production because they are fully involved in all production processes.

By the beginning of the twentieth century, Semarang was a major port city and administrative centre on Java. Attainment of this position was due partly to the expansion of its hinterland during the nineteenth century. This expansion was closely related to developments in the means of transportation and the consequent ability of plantation owners to bring the products of their plantations to the port for shipment to foreign markets. By the end of the century virtually the whole economic life of central Java focused upon Semarang. The city also exercised administrative functions in the Dutch colonial administration and generally had been responsible for Dutch interests in the middle and eastern parts of the island. The importance of Semarang as an administrative centre increased after 1906. In that year the government incorporated the city as an urban municipality (stadsgemeente). In 1914 it had consular representation from the United States, Belgium, Denmark, France, Great Britain, Italy, Norway, Germany, and Thailand. Subsequently, in 1926 it became the capital of the Province of Central Java under the terms of an administrative reform fostered by the colonial government at Batavia. Status as an urban municipality meant that local officials sitting on a city council would govern the domestic affairs of the city. The members of the city council at first were appointed from Batavia, subsequently some of them were elected by residents of the city. By the beginning of the twentieth century Semarang had enhanced its position as a major port on the north coast of the island of Java. It was one of the foremost cities of the Dutch East Indies, along with Batavia and Surabaya, a leading port and a centre of administration and trade. This article outlines the growth of the port of Semarang during the nineteenth century and discusses some of the conflict related to this growth over living conditions in parts of the city during the twentieth century, a conflict which smouldered for several decades among the government, members of the city council, and the non-European residents of the city, one which remained unresolved at the end of the colonial era.

Abstract. Zakiyah U, Mulyanto, Suwanti LT, Koerniawan MD, Suyono EA, Budiman A, Siregar UJ. 2020. Diversity and distribution of microalgae in coastal areas of East Java, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 21: 1149-1159. Indonesia is well known as one of hotspot for biodiversity, including marine resources. However, Indonesia biodiversity has declined rapidly due to the changes in the aquatic environmental quality as the consequence of human activities. Biodiversity loss has been well studied in larger organisms, however, less is known for microorganisms, such as microalgae. Microalgae have received much attention recently due to its potential as renewable energy sources. This study aimed at describing biodiversity and distribution of microalgae in coastal areas of East Java and Madura, Indonesia. Six sites, i.e. Trenggalek and Sendangbiru representing south coast, Banyuwangi and Situbondo representing north coast of East Java, Pasongsongan and Pamekasan representing Madura north and south coast, respectively were sampled, which representing different background of anthropogenic development in these areas. Results showed that seawater condition in all sites is still good, with average pH 8.0 despite intense human activities, such as ecotourism, fishing and boat harbor, as well as residential area that has the potential to produce a lot of waste. Totally, there were 35 genera from all locations with varying abundance in each location and diversity index ranging from 1.105-3.312. Although most genera belonged to Bacyllariophyta, domination indices showed that there was not any single specific domination in all locations. Morisita indices showed that most distribution gave positive values indicating clumped dispersion of microalgae in all locations. Higher Shannon-Weaver indices characterized the south coast of East Java and Madura compared to the north coast of East Java area, which corresponded with lower dominancy indices.

hidup nelayan. Salah satu indikator untuk menilai peningkatan taraf hidup nelayan akibat dari subsidi adalah surplus produsen dan total benefit dari eksploitasi potensi ikan. Penelitian ini menggunakan quaterly data 1998 - 2002, pada delapan lokasi pendaratan ikan di Pantura Jawa Tengah. Penelitian ini menghitung surplus produsen berdasarkan: baseline (tanpa subsidi) dan subsidi. Perhitungan surplus produsen dilakukan dengan program Maple dengan memasukkan koefisien yang diperoleh dari pendekatan regresi. Secara umum hasil analisis tersebut menunjukkan subsidi perikanan akan mendorong peningkatan surplus produsen. Pengaruh subsidi perikanan yang meningkatkan surplus produsen dalam jumlah yang relatif tinggi terjadi pada daerah Kabupaten Brebes, Kota Tegal, Kabupaten Tegal, Kabupaten Pemalang, dan Kota Pekalongan. Sementara pengaruh subsidi perikanan terhadap peningkatan surplus produsen di Kabupaten Batang, Kabupaten Pekalongan dan Kabupaten Kendal dapat dikatakan relatif kecil. Peningkatan surplus produsen belum tentu meningkatkan total benefit, hal ini terjadi jika surplus produsen baseline lebih besar dari surplus produsen subsidi. Penelitian ini merekomendasikan bahwa pemberian subsidi pada perikanan tangkap perlu lebih teliti dan terarah agartujuan alokasi subsidi tersebut dapat lebih efektif. Tittle: Impact Of Subsidy On Producer Surplus And Total Benefit In The North Coast of the Central Java FisherySubsidy is a fiscal policy; fisheries subsidy proposed by the government intended to support the the standart of living for fishing community. Producer surplus and total benefit could be used as indicators to measured the impact of subsidy on the fishery. The quaterly data from 1998 - 2000 from 8 fish landing centers in Northcoast of Central Java were used in the analysis. The producer surpluses were calculated for baseline and subsidy. The Maple software was used to calculate producer surpluses. In general fisheries subsidy lead to increase producer surplus. A relatively high impact of fisheries subsidy on producer surplus was indicated by Kabupaten Brebes, Kota Tegal, Kabupaten Tegal, Kabupaten Pemalang, and Kota Pekalongan. Meanwhile, the increasing of producer surplus in Kabupaten Batang, Kabupaten Pekalongan and Kabupaten Kendal was indicating relatively low. The increasing value of producer surplus is not necessary follow by the increasing value of the total benefit, particularly when the baseline's producer surplus is greater than subsidy's producer surplus. This research recommends that the fisheries subsidies should be allocated properly to the fishery in order to ensure the effectiveness of the policy.

Abstract The area of Cua-Dai estuary and the coastal areas of Hoi-An City have experienced complicated erosion and sedimentation in recent years. Along the coast of Hoi-An, erosion often occurs, whereas in the area of Cua-Dai River, there is an accretion phenomenon that obstructs the waterway navigation from Cua-Dai to Cu-Lao-Cham. Occurrence of sand dunes in the offshore location of Cua-Dai has been recorded at a number of times in recent years. Studying the process of bed morphological change due to the sediment transport in the Thu-Bon river and the influence of monsoons in the area allows to explain the above phenomenon thus an in-depth study to propose appropriate solutions. This study used the numerical model Telemac which combines the hydro-morphodynamic and wave modules. The simulation results show that the main trend of coastal currents caused by tides and waves tends to go southward, leading to coastal erosion especially in the northeast monsoon season as well as sedimentation in the estuarine area. In addition, the model also shows the crucial role of waves in shoreline erosion, with the degree of erosion in the north coast near Cua-Dai being more severe than the southern coast, through the formation of local eddy flow on the north coast.

The reclamation policy of the bay of Jakarta has been started since 1995 with the issuance of Presidential Decree no. 52 of 1995 on the North Coast Reclamation of Jakarta. Because in the implementation of many protests from the public, the Government canceled the policy of reclamation by issuing Presidential Regulation No. 54 of 2008 on Spatial Planning of Jakarta, Bogor, Depok, Tangerang, Bekasi, Puncak and Cianjur. However, in its development, the Provincial Government of DKI Jakarta issued Governor Regulation No. 58 of 2018 on the Establishment, Organization and Working Procedures of the North Coast Reclamation Management Coordinating Board of Jakarta. Surprisingly substantially the Governor’s Regulation refers to Presidential Decree No. 52 of 1995 and implies that the reclamation project will continue. By using Mazmanian and Sabatier (1983) policy theory, namely: (1) tractability of the problems; (2) ability of statute to structure implementation; (3) nonstatutory variables affecting implementation, the implementation of reclamation policy has not been successful.

Nowadays, in the North China Plain (NCP), most counties and suburban rural regions are promoting the "coal to gas" program under the situation of strong government support of large and medium-sized centralized biogas production (CBP) projects. This paper is aimed at the CBP projects, focuses on rural residents’ “willingness to use (WTU)”, “willingness to buy (WTB)” and the influencing factors for WTU/WTB. Through the analysis of rural residents from Hebei and Shandong provinces that belong to NCP in this survey, we find that 85% of respondents support the CBP program and the WTB is 63.15 CNY/year per capita, which is much lower than the cost of rural CBP in existing survey regions. The participation of rural residents is not only a manifestation of personal and family characteristics; understanding of environmental knowledge, attitudes, and household energy practices are more important. These non-economic factors seriously affect WTU/WTB. Hence, it is necessary to appropriately increase the government revenue to such projects, strengthen government guidance and publicity, improve the environmental knowledge and attitude of rural residents and guide residents’ practice. Based on a fully understanding of residents’ consumption decision mechanism, we establish a financial support mechanism due to the demand response, adopt a correct calculation for financial support, such as a reasonable subsidy rate, and seek the greatest commonality of cost, financial support, and demand.

Sea skatersHalobates matsumuraiEsaki andAsclepios shiranui(Esaki) are among the few marine insects found in Japan. For the past several decades, they have become rare in most localities and have now been designated as endangered by the government. In order to understand their adaptive strategies to the marine environment and to develop conservation measures, it is essential to know their life histories. We studied their lifecycles in Kujukushima Bay off the north coast of Kyushu (Japan) where they co-occurred in small coves along the jagged coast. They appeared to have more than one generation a year and to overwinter in the egg stage. Eggs ofH. matsumuraiwere laid on natural sandstones and man-made sandstone walls along the shore, mostly above the average sea level. The eggs had very hard shells, presumably adaptive to protect them from desiccation, solar radiation, and wave action, especially during the overwintering period.

The purpose of this study was to determine and describe the partnershipbetween of Surabaya government with local communities on mangrove forestsmanagement in the North Coast Surabaya. This research is conducted byqualitative descriptive method. Based on the research results, it is known that the partnership between the government of Surabaya with the local community (comanagement approach) provide positive value on the mangrove forests management. People who benefit from the mangrove forest participate in determining management decisions that affect their well-being, while the government got benefits from reduced liability manage. In addition, comanagement approach could increase the sense of belonging in the community, so there was a will of its own to preserve mangrove. But in this case, several steps that needs to be done by local government, among others: local government divided each authority were clearly based on formal rules; local government empower local communities associated with mangrove forest management, as well as set up an authorized institution in the management of resources such as beach protection as partners with Surabaya government on collaboration who could represent their respective interests (mangrove forest management) and recognized by the community.

<p class="MSGENFONTSTYLENAMETEMPLATEROLENUMBERMSGENFONTSTYLENAMEBYROLETEXT30">The high rate of population growth and the lack of land availability in Jakarta, causing some segments of the population do not have the ability to buy a house so they build one in the illegal land. Muara Angke which known as a fisher village has a wide range of environmental problems due to the illegal settlement of which is the problem of garbage and waste. The north coast of Jakarta reclamation project, the government is planning to organize the settlements in the region with flats programs. Based on this phenomenon, namely how the flats are planned to be a friendly place for fishermen activities and will support housing by the application ofprinciples of friendly environtment, efficiency energy and create a friendly building system. Flats with environmental improvement of the standard will provide a better life for the fishermen, it can be achieved by the application of three principles of ecological architecture at the processing site, discovering form and mass, structure and utilities. Concept of The Flat’s Fishermen will support the planning of flats that provide green spaces, energy efficiency at building facade, and waste management to prevent the building for not providing environmental pollution.</p>Keywords: Ecological Architecture, Fishermen, Flat.
