Rezim Standar Industri Pariwisata dan Paradoks Pembangunan Desa Wisata di Indonesia: Pengalaman Desa Mangunan

The structural perspective explains well the paradox of development through the phenomenon of democratization in the trap of electoralism that does not change the inequality of power relations. This article moves in a different sense by offering the concept of governmentality in exploring the paradox of development. However, this study does not reject the argument that the paradoxical failure of development stems from the development mode that results in the depoliticization of development. The author deepens this argument by examining microscopically the types of power that work. More specifically, this study discusses the question of how the existing regime of knowledge about development produces paradoxical symptoms. Departing from the case of Mangunan Village, Bantul Regency, the findings in this study indicate that tourism development which was built in the name of a program to improve the welfare of the citizens in fact only serves the growth of the tourism industry. This can be seen from the knowledge regime that underlies the existence of the programs being carried out, namely encouraging the growth of the tourism industry that meets tourism business standards. This kind of knowledge regime is only possible for business actors who have access and resources to meet various tourism industry standards. Meanwhile, residents with limited resource capacity cannot meet various standards. In short, this kind of knowledge regime actually contributes to widening the gap in economic inequality between citizens.

Federated Reinforcement Learning Based AANs with LEO Satellites and UAVs

Supported by the advances in rocket technology, companies like SpaceX and Amazon competitively have entered the satellite Internet business. These companies said that they could provide Internet service sufficiently to users using their communication resources. However, the Internet service might not be provided in densely populated areas, as the satellites coverage is broad but its resource capacity is limited. To offload the traffic of the densely populated area, we present an adaptable aerial access network (AAN), composed of low-Earth orbit (LEO) satellites and federated reinforcement learning (FRL)-enabled unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Using the proposed system, UAVs could operate with relatively low computation resources than centralized coverage management systems. Furthermore, by utilizing FRL, the system could continuously learn from various environments and perform better with the longer operation times. Based on our proposed design, we implemented FRL, constructed the UAV-aided AAN simulator, and evaluated the proposed system. Base on the evaluation result, we validated that the FRL enabled UAV-aided AAN could operate efficiently in densely populated areas where the satellites cannot provide sufficient Internet services, which improves network performances. In the evaluations, our proposed AAN system provided about 3.25 times more communication resources and had 5.1% lower latency than the satellite-only AAN.

Optimizing Highly Infectious Disease Isolation Unit Management. Experiences from the Infectious Diseases Isolation and Research Unit, Fort Portal, Uganda

Infectious disease outbreaks are the scale of the current COVID-19 pandemic are a new phenomenon in many parts of the world. Many isolation unit designs with corresponding workflow dynamics and personal protective equipment postures have been proposed for each emerging disease at the health facility level, depending on the mode of transmission. However, personnel and resource management at the isolation units for a resilient response will vary by human resource capacity, reporting requirements, and practice setting. This paper describes an approach to Isolation unit management at a rural Uganda Hospital and shares lessons from the Uganda experience for isolation unit managers in low- and middle-income settings.

PECSA: Practical Edge Computing Service Architecture Applicable to Adaptive IoT-Based Applications

The cloud-based Internet of Things (IoT-Cloud) combines the advantages of the IoT and cloud computing, which not only expands the scope of cloud computing but also enhances the data processing capability of the IoT. Users always seek affordable and efficient services, which can be completed by the cooperation of all available network resources, such as edge computing nodes. However, current solutions exhibit significant security and efficiency problems that must be solved. Insider attacks could degrade the performance of the IoT-Cloud due to its natural environment and inherent open construction. Unfortunately, traditional security approaches cannot defend against these attacks effectively. In this paper, a novel practical edge computing service architecture (PECSA), which integrates a trust management methodology with dynamic cost evaluation schemes, is proposed to address these problems. In the architecture, the edge network devices and edge platform cooperate to achieve a shorter response time and/or less economic costs, as well as to enhance the effectiveness of the trust management methodology, respectively. To achieve faster responses for IoT-based requirements, all the edge computing devices and cloud resources cooperate in a reasonable way by evaluating computational cost and runtime resource capacity in the edge networks. Moreover, when cooperated with the edge platform, the edge networks compute trust values of linked nodes and find the best collaborative approach for each user to meet various service requirements. Experimental results demonstrate the efficiency and the security of the proposed architecture.

Strategi Peningkatan Efektivitas Masyarakat Peduli Api (MPA) Dalam Pengendalian Kebakaran Hutan di Provinsi Bali

Strategy For Improving Effectiveness of Fire Care Society (MPA) in Control of Forest Fire in Bali Province. Land and forest fires seem to be an annual disaster in Indonesia. The Ministry of Environment and Forestry is initiated to form Fire Care Community Groups, called Fire Care Society (MPA). MPA in Bali has been established since 2012. The study is needed to determine the community perception who live around the forest areas, to determine the effectiveness of MPA, and to analyzed strategic increases the effectiveness of MPAregarding forest fires controlling. Research data has been collected through a closed questionnaire to compile the respond of respondents in the google form. The respondent consisted of MPA member and non-member and related stakeholders. The types of data that been collected include respondent’s perceptions, MPA participation, and implementation of Perdirjen PPI number 3, 2018. These data then analyzed with the SWOT method. The results showed that the MPA and non-MPA members have positive perception of natural factor and human behavior as a factor of forest fires. The highest value of MPA’s participation in fires-fighting is 3.71 and participation influenced by environmental factors valued at 3.84. While the implementation of Perdirjen PPI decree is 66.39%. The SWOT analysis shows the MPA in progressive strategic S-O. So this study concludes that the MPA hasn’t been fully effective. The effectiveness can be improved by providing adequate support through clear regulations, budget allocations, and increasing human resource capacity.
