This is the 13th book published by the Indonesian Regional Science Association (IRSA). Publication of books containing selected papers authored by its members has been one of IRSA main activities since its first annual meeting in 1998. I would like to appreciate the efforts of the editorial team for preparing the publication ofthis book. The team selected papers written by IRSA members. Most of those articles were selected from the papers presented at the 12th IRSA International Conference on “Political Economy of Regional Development in Indonesia”. This conference was held on 2-3 June 2014 in Makassar, South Sulawesi, and was organised in collaboration with the Faculty of Economics, Hasanuddin University, and the National Development Planning Agency (BAPPENAS). Some other articles are papers presented at several seminars related or held in collaboration with IRSA in 2014. When this Foreword was written, Indonesia under the Joko Widodo (Jokowi) Administration was experiencing difficult time both politically as well as economically. Jokowi has entered its eighth month of his term of office but his administration apparently has not been able to run well as expected. To make it even worse, the economic growth in many countries, including Indonesia, has been slowing down since early this year. With that background and in the spirit of contributing for the development of the nation, IRSA has chosen the general theme of this 13th book “Regional Development in Indonesia: Some Notes for the Jokowi Government”. Finally, I would like to thank the authors of the papers published in this book and the organising committees of the 2014 IRSA Conference and other seminars organised in collaboration with IRSA. I do believe thatthis book is beneficialforthe public policy forregional development in Indonesia. ------------ -UnpadPress- #Unpad #60thFEBUnpad
“This is a timely book addressing challenges facing Indonesia as 70 percent of our population will be urbanized in the near future and the urgent need to develop our human capital as 50 percent of our population is below 30. It is a must read and reference for all, especially for policy makers as we think through how to ensure development will be achieved in a balanced way throughout Indonesia’s regions.” —Mari Elka Pangestu Minister of Trade, Republic of Indonesia 2004-2011 Minister of Tourism and Creative Economy, Republic of Indonesia 2011-2014 Professor, Faculty of Economy and Business, University of Indonesia “Urbanization, human capital and regional development demography are very important issues for Indonesia.

“... to ensure that this tourism development strategy will produce the expected outcomes; i.e. the target aimed for by 2019, Indonesia needs to thoroughly research its tourism development strategy, its implementation and various other aspects of the tourism sector.” Dr. Ir.

Due to its location, Indonesia is prone to large seismic activities, some of which have caused a significant number of fatalities and damages to human livelihoods. The country, hence, has to always be prepared and resilient toward these kinds of event. Abilities to soften the human and economic impact of natural shocks and to bounce back the economy as quickly as we can are crucial in sustaining the human and economic development of the country. This book presents disaster-related issues, including disaster management, sustaining regional development, improving human capital in the country, rural development and conserving the environment. Hopefully this book can attract more regional scientists to work on disasters and regional development issues.
This collection of papers by leading Australian and Indonesian scholars provides the first comprehensive examination of regional economic development in Indonesia, and highlights major development issues and constraints.
Indonesia was founded on the ideal of the “Sovereignty of the People”, which suggests the pre-eminence of people’s rights to access, use and control land to support their livelihoods. Yet, many questions remain unresolved. How can the state ensure access to land for agriculture and housing while also supporting land acquisition for investment in industry and infrastructure? What is to be done about indigenous rights? Do registration and titling provide solutions? Is the land reform agenda — legislated but never implemented — still relevant? How should the land questions affecting Indonesia’s disappearing forests be resolved? The contributors to this volume assess progress on these issues through case studies from across the archipelago: from large-scale land acquisitions in Papua, to asset ownership in the villages of Sulawesi and Java, to tenure conflicts associated with the oil palm and mining booms in Kalimantan, Sulawesi and Sumatra. What are the prospects for the “people’s sovereignty” in regard to land?
