Implementation of Permaculture Design to Achieve Food Self-Sufficiency in Mood Forest Farm, Hualien County, Eastern Taiwan

The Covid-19 pandemic is a global health crisis that has hit more than 100 countries including Taiwan. The agricultural sector is one of the sectors that has experienced the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. One of the strategies and efforts that can solve it is food self-sufficiency through increasing production, diversifying local food, and developing sustainable agriculture. While in the process to achieve food self-sufficiency, there are also many challenges like intensive farming. Therefore, an effort is needed to improve the environment, the quality, and the safety of agriculture products through ecological balance. Permaculture is the system that uses natural principles between humans to live more productive with their environment. Through this concept, practitioners can be more productive with their environment. The study aims to analyze the implementation of permaculture design for food self-sufficiency on farm in eastern Taiwan. This study was used qualitative methods through interviews, participant observation, field notes, documentation to collect data. The result that practitioners integrate several designs based on principles and ethics of permaculture, including providing their food, fruit, vegetables, and livestock products. Practitioners also integrate elements into a multi-functional design, creative ideas to solve the problem that they face and make these efforts a challenge for them, such as bird kites and eagle poles for rice paddy pest problems. Thus, the concept of permaculture has been proven to increase productivity, harmony, and sustainability with the environment through the use of natural principles and human life.

Pesantren As Indonesian Traditional Education Institution in Preparing the Alumni to Face The Twenty-First Century Challenges

Pesantren is an Indonesian traditional education institution based on Islamic values or often calledtraditional pesantren. It initially focuses on learning that is only limited to morality and politeness values,which make pesantren considered backward in the academic side and science by Indonesian society.However, at the beginning of the twentieth century, there was a term 'modern' pesantren which combinedmoral, academic and scientific values as the learning focus, such as communication, collaboration, criticalthinking, creativity and innovative skills that make its graduates ready to face twenty-first-centurychallenges. This paper tries to portray on how pesantren, both traditional and modern pesantren, preparesand navigates their students to master the twenty-first-century skills namely communication,collaboration, critical thinking, and creativity to tackle future challenges. The researchers conductedinterviews with nine students of Faculty of Islamic Studies, Universitas Islam Indonesia who previouslyspent their high school years in either traditional or modern pesantren. We are finding that pesantrenalthough the types, traditional and modern will strive the world's dynamic, since pesantren's core valueshave successfully shaped attitudes and disciplines of it is alumni, and the involvement in religiousteaching in pesantren is essential and undebatable because it is the foundation of all knowledge taught.This research will provide valuable information regarding pesantren responding to modernity as Islamiceducation is supposed to consider the improvement of the learning process within preparing it is alumni toface the twenty-first-century challenges without forgetting it is identity.

Forecasting COVID-19 Vaccination Trends in Indonesia using Machine Learning

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic requires much research to deal with this problem. Medical treatment has resulted in vaccine findings that work as an immune system to block the COVID-19 reaction process. However, many of these developments are still undergoing improvement and periodic testing to found better results for humans. Therefore, forecasting trends of the COVID-19 vaccine in Indonesia is carried out to regularly predict vaccines' effectiveness by adjusting conditions. This forecasting uses the time-series forecasting method by prioritizing a machine learning process in predicting probably future forecasts. Based on the highest vaccine used, we propose ARIMA and Facebook Prophet as machine learning models to predict vaccine trends in each country. The Prophet model results achieved an RMSE score of 0.176, which these results contained vaccines distributed in Indonesia. Besides that, the ARIMA model achieved an RMSE score of 0.453 using the same dataset. The results obtained from this method can be considered a policy for the government to deal with the effective use of vaccines according to future needs. As a further development, this research can be reviewed by paying attention to external aspects such as social and economic factors affecting the COVID-19 vaccination. The results obtained are more comprehensive and representative than this research based on conditions that provide policies for handling COVID-19.

These two associations are referred to as PPI Taiwan and OISAA Asia-Oceania, throughout this conference. The joint event of I3S 2021 and the OISAA Asia-Oceania Symposium 2021 is scheduled to be conducted on June 21-27, 2021 and being hosted by PPI Taiwan. The main event is taking place on June 25-27, 2021 which is prompted by four days of pre-event series on June 21-23, 2021. BackgroundDated back on December 31, 2019, the World Health Organization (WHO) received a notification of pneumonia disease, whose source was unidentified, in Wuhan, China. Then, the disease which was caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus was referred by WHO as COVID-19. The COVID-19 was designated by WHO as a pandemic on March 11, 2020. Furthermore, by January 29, 2021, as many as 102.6 million cases of COVID-19 worldwide with more than 2.2 million deaths have been reported by WHO. Globally, five countries experiencing the highest number of COVID-19 positive cases are the United States, India, Brazil, Russia and Great Britain. The COVID-19 pandemic has caused not only casualties but also opens up opportunities, among others are in the fields of technology, education and health. In the field of technology, we can observe the increasing use of technology for distance or remote education and the utilization of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in various fields including health. In the health sector, technology related to telemedicine and vaccines has also begun to develop. There has also been an expectation that within the post- COVID-19 period, the novel ideas keep developing, and Indonesia can take an active role in developing this. Regarding the aforementioned situation, the establishment of the 2021 Indonesian Scholar Scientific Summit (I3S 2021) is expected to serve as a scientific forum for exchanging ideas among scientists, students and industry practitioners in all relevant fields in order to generate innovative ideas that can be developed in the post-COVID-19 pandemic situation.

The Disaster Mitigation of Slow-Landslide Movement Induced By Rainfall Based on Ps-Insar Method

Disaster management is a big issue in the past few years. Talking about the disaster, an aspect that should be focussed on is mitigation. The development and the ability of Remote sensing technology have a significant impact on disaster management and significantly contribute to disaster mitigation, such as for the disaster monitoring system. The slow-landslide movement is rarely considered in disaster mitigation, even though the acceleration can increase time by time and will be more dangerous than usual. Therefore, the observation of the remote sensing technology is needed for disaster mitigation. PS-InSAR as a space-based observation method can observe the continuous movement on a site location. Thus, this study illustrates the slow-landslide movement mechanism based on remote sensing technology using the PS-InSAR method compared with rainfall data. In this study, the Sentinel-1 images and STAMPS/MTI by Hooper (2004) successfully detect the displacement rate of the Kalibawang Village, Special Region of Yogyakarta, Indonesia, with the maximum displacement rate -23 mm/year along the Line of Sight (LoS) of the satellite. The PS-InSAR result was also compared with the rainfall data, and shows a correlation of the movement during the rainfall season. Therefore, further mitigation is needed to reduce the risk of the disaster.

Sustainable Tourism Destination Assessment as a Baseline for Tanjung Kelayang Tourism Development

Tourism is a complex and prominent sector in Indonesia that involved many stakeholders. Led by the success story of Bali tourism development which able to grow beyond all expectation, helping to improve public and private infrastructure, including the birth and growth of small-medium enterprises, led the Indonesian government to distribute and spread the development all over Indonesia through Ten New Bali concept. One of these is Tanjung Kelayang, located in Belitung Island. Despite Bali success stories, negative impacts of Bali tourism development on environmental sustainability appeared, such as land-use change, soil and water degradation, pollutions, waste mismanagement, etc. Reflected from Bali negative tourism impact, this paper will identify and analyse Tanjung Kelayang tourism development as a New Bali using sustainable tourism destination criteria to create baseline data. A qualitative approach using both primary data by on-site observation and in-depth interview with related parties, and secondary data by identifying the Local Official Tourism Development Master Plan (RIPPARKAB) year 2014 and other studies in regards with Tanjung Kelayang tourism development by using GSTC-D V2 as a tool to reflect sustainability commitment was occurred on this paper. The result of compliance shows that only 19% for Sustainable Management, 4% for Socio-Economy Sustainability, 11% for Cultural Sustainability, and 0% for Environmental Sustainability. Thus, it shows the gap of Tanjung Kelayang tourism development in regards with sustainable destination concept. Hence, a commitment, communication, and cooperation from all related parties is necessary to be in place to achieve a sustainable tourism destination development in Tanjung Kelayang.

Policy Networks in Improving the Quality of Housing and Settlements in Indonesia (A Case Research of Bandung District)

Studies on slum housing and settlements have been carried out in many countries. The various studies show that the problem of housing and settlement areas can no longer be considered a simple problem. Different from the various studies on housing and settlement areas, this research employs the perspective of policy networks as a new public administration paradigm. The development issue on housing and settlement areas is regarded as one of the contemporary international issues contained in one of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Several countries have become the focus of attention, such as: India, Mongolia, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, and Thailand. In Indonesia, the development of housing and settlement areas is mandated by law. The Local Government of Bandung District has made efforts to improve the quality of housing and settlements through such programs as the PLPBK, Rutilahu, and Kotaku. However, the improvement in the quality of housing and settlements in general has not touched the basic problem, namely the welfare of the community. The development is limited to physical improvements and lasts 1 (one) to 2 (two) years. In the third year the restored area becomes irregular / slum again. Therefore, it is recommended that the Bandung District government issue a local regulation in the form of a Regent Regulation concerning the improvement of housing and settlement quality and a plan for handling it as the legal bases. In addition, a collaboration of actors in policy networks should be formed based on the pentahelix model incorporating the actors of business, government, community, academic, and media.

In the analysis, a comparison is made between data protection authorities to protect data in Indonesia and best practices in the UK and Malaysia, especially in post-pandemic conditions. This study aims to recommend solutions that strengthen data security protection in the post-COVID-19 era in Indonesia.

Financial Assessment on Designing Inventory Policy by Considering Demand, Lead Time, and Defective Product Uncertainties: A Monte Carlo Simulation

Inventory is one of the main components in supply chain. However, it is not easy to design inventory policy under uncertainties. The frequent occurrence of overstocks increases the company's financial expenditure. Otherwise, stockout decreases customer satisfaction and damage the company's image. This study aims to provide monte carlo model to design inventory policy with the aim of maximizing net income with a variety of uncertainties, one of the uncertainties is defective product because of the travel from suppliers. To handle the complexity and uncertainty of problem, a Monte Carlo simulation is used with spreadsheet-based representation. To test the reliability of the model, guitar company is used as relevant use case with uncertainty adhered ‘the greater number of order quantity, the greater likely the defective guitar will be’. The verification & validation process, experimental design, and alternative selection are also done with statistical tests. Based on the simulation result, it is known that changing the reorder point to 80 and the order quantity to 90 gives the best result which can increase net income by 0.44% compared to the initial net income. In addition, the number of stockouts has decreased.
