Conflicts Resolution

Ethnic, religious, race, and cultural diversity, as well as a large number of populations, are a treasure and strength for the Indonesian people, but on the other hand, it can be potential social conflicts that jeopardize the national integrity. Local wisdom which lived generations by generations and owned by the various local community is a social asset that can be empowered in social conflict resolution. Local wisdom plays an important role, not only preventing social conflict but also providing breakthroughs to resolve conflicts that occurred. Law Number 7 of 2012 concerning Social Conflicts Resolution which reflects the principles of local wisdom, it should be more empower those principles into reality. This empowerment can be done by actualizing the values and institutionalize of local wisdom in social conflict resolution that is implemented at the stages of conflict prevention, termination of the conflict, and restoration of post-conflict.

ABSTRAK Pada bulan November 2015 PT Bumi Suksesindo mengalami pembakaran beberapa fasilitas perusahaan oleh aksi masa tolak tambang yang mengakibatkan beberapa fasilitas milik perusahaan rusak parah, mulai dari gudang mesin diesel, genset serta gudang peralatan. Belajar dari pengalaman itu, maka diperlukan sistem pencegahan konflik secara dini agar tidak terjadi lagi kasus yang serupa. Kajian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui efektifitas stakeholders mapping sebagai upaya pencegahan dini terjadinya konflik sosial di pertambangan emas PT Bumi Suksesindo.  Kajian yang telah dilakukan dengan cara pengelompokkan stakeholders berdasarkan internal dan eksternal, ketergantungan stakeholder dengan perusahaan, power dan interest stakeholder, serta posisi stratejik stakeholder maka dapat diketahui bagaimana strategi dan teknik mengelola stakeholders tersebut sehingga tidak berlanjut kepada aksi masa yang lebih besar yang dapat merugikan baik perusahaan maupun pemerintah. Dari analisis terebut diketahui stakeholder kunci yang perlu mendapat perhatian utama dalam pencegahan dini terjadinya konflik adalah kelompok tolak tambang, kelompok “preman jalan” jalur logistic, dan kelompok tapak tambang (kelompok paling dekat dengan operasional tambang).  Pengelolaan hubungan stakeholders dengan yang cara yang tepat selain dapat mencegah terjadinya konflik juga dapat mengenali potensi dan aspirasi stakeholders yang dapat membuka peluang untuk mengembangkan kesejahteraan masyarakat sebagai sebagai prasyarat utama untuk menjamin keberlanjutan perusahaan. Kata Kunci: PT Bumi Suksesindo, stakehoders mapping, sistem pencegahan konflik,  konflik sosial  ABSTRACT In November 2015 PT Bumi Suksesindo experienced the burning of a number of company facilities by the anti-mining group action which resulted in severely damaged company-owned facilities such as diesel engine warehouses, generator sets and equipment warehouses. The lesson learned community relation team really need an early conflict prevention system is needed so that similar cases do not occur again. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of stakeholder mapping as an effort to prevent early social conflicts in the PT Bumi Suksesindo gold mine. The study has been conducted by grouping stakeholders analysis based on internal and external, dependence of stakeholders with the company, stakeholders' power and interests, as well as the strategic position of stakeholders so it can be seen how the strategies and techniques of managing these stakeholders so that it does not continue to greater mass actions and harm both the company and government. From this analysis, it is known that the key stakeholders that need to be given the main attention in the early prevention of conflict are the anti-mining group, the logistical road group, and the community around mining group. Management of stakeholder relations in the right way in addition to preventing conflict can also recognize the potential and aspirations of stakeholders so that it even opens opportunities to develop community welfare as the main prerequisite for ensuring the sustainability of the company. Keywords: PT Bumi Suksesindo, stakeholder mapping, conflict prevention systems, social conflict.

Literacy Level

This research examines the factors affecting the financial literacy of Vietnamese adults. Using a sample of 266 observations of adults in 2 big cities in Vietnam (Hanoi and Vinh in Nghe An Province), the author evaluates the literacy level of adults in these urban areas. The financial literacy of the interviewed people is low. The multiple regression results show that lower financial literacy levels associate with higher age and married status and higher financial literacy levels associate with higher education, more family members, the person making financial decisions and the person attending a useful financial course. This research also explores the association between financial literacy and financial behaviors of individuals employing logistic models. It is found that higher financial literacy associates with less probability of overspending and higher probability of saving money and careful spending. Higher financial literacy is also found to associate with higher probability of opening a savings account and making various investments.

This chapter examines how civil war can influence the spread of language. Specifically, it takes Sierra Leone as a case study to demonstrate how Krio grew from being primarily a language of urban areas in the 1960s to one spoken by most of the population in the 2000s. While some of this was due to “normal” factors such as population movement and growing urbanization, the civil war from 1991 to 2002 certainly catalyzed the process of language spread in the 1990s. Using census documents and surveys, the chapter tests the hypothesis at the national, regional, and individual levels. The spread of a language has political consequences, as it allows for citizen participation in the political process. It is an example of political scientists’ approach to uncovering the mechanisms for and evidence of language movement in Africa.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to suggest the usage of the project finance (PF) scheme as a suitable mechanism to fund energy efficiency projects at the urban scale and present its advantages and adoption barriers. Design/methodology/approach – A case study is developed to renew the traffic lighting system of an Italian town via replacement of the old lamps with new light-emitting diode (LED) technology. Several partners are involved in the case project to construct a viable PF arrangement. Findings – The case study presents the viability of the proposed PF scheme that provides for acceptable financial returns and bankability. However, it also shows that the need for short concession periods may call for a public contribution to the initial funding to make the project more attractive to private investors. Practical implications – This case study is a useful guideline for governments and promoters to using the PF arrangement to fund energy efficiency investments in urban settings. It helps designing an appropriate PF scheme and understanding the advantages of PF to reduce risk and, consequently, increase the debt leverage and profitability of energy efficiency projects. Originality/value – This paper contributes to bridging the gap about the lack of works addressing the implementation of the PF mechanism in the energy efficiency sector in urban areas. The importance of this paper is also associated with the shortage of traditional public finance faced by many cities that forces to seek for alternate forms of financing.

In order to electrify the transport sector, scores of charging stations are needed to incentivize people to buy electric vehicles. In urban areas with a high charging demand and little space, decision-makers are in need of planning tools that enable them to efficiently allocate financial and organizational resources to the promotion of electromobility. As with many other city planning tasks, simulations foster successful decision-making. This article presents a novel agent-based simulation framework for urban electromobility aimed at the analysis of charging station utilization and user behavior. The approach presented here employs a novel co-evolutionary learning model for adaptive charging behavior. The simulation framework is tested and verified by means of a case study conducted in the city of Munich. The case study shows that the presented approach realistically reproduces charging behavior and spatio-temporal charger utilization.

Without decarbonizing cities energy and climate objectives cannot be achieved as cities account for approximately two thirds of energy consumption and emissions. This goal of decarbonizing cities has to be facilitated by promoting net-zero/positive energy buildings and districts and replicating them, driving cities towards sustainability goals. Many projects in smart cities demonstrate novel and groundbreaking low-carbon solutions in demonstration and lighthouse projects. However, as the historical, geographic, political, social and economic context of urban areas vary greatly, it is not always easy to repeat the solution in another city or even district. It is therefore important to look for the opportunities to scale up or repeat successful pilots. The purpose of this paper is to explore common trends in technologies and replication strategies for positive energy buildings or districts in smart city projects, based on the practical experience from a case study in Leipzig—one of the lighthouse cities in the project SPARCS. One of the key findings the paper has proven is the necessity of a profound replication modelling to deepen the understanding of upscaling processes. Three models analyzed in this article are able to provide a multidimensional representation of the solution to be replicated.
