As a response, several efforts and solutions have been implemented to avoid the negative impacts of this pandemic. In the context of Indonesia, for example, these include short-term solutions by limiting social contacts and human mobility with national or regional lockdowns. The solutions are surely not an easy way to be implemented in this archipelagic country that has many islands. The initial spread of COVID-19 back in March 2020 had stopped many economic activities in many Indonesian regions, especially in the urban areas. At the end of 2020, when the population mobility was started to be lifted, the spread of Covid-19 became increasingly out of control. Therefore, large-scale social restrictions have once again been implemented, especially in the most populated islands of Java and Bali. This paper aims to investigate the relationship between short-term solutions, human mobility...

However, people are afraid thatthe change of city spatial functions will bring more harm to the existence of a traditional marketor a small retailer that is the source of living for lower-middle income group. This studyidentifies some factors influencing the number of modern market in Yogyakarta city, Selmanand Bantul regencies by considering the spatial interaction pattern among districts. The resultsshow that the location of modern market is influenced by population density and quality of roadinfrastructure. There is a spatial dependence among the location of modern markets in a form ofspatial error model. The identification of spatial error is believed that there are several variableswhich are not included in the model but has an important role spatially, namely the price of landand local government policy.

Pembahasan meliputi kaitan demografi dengan pembangunan, fertilitas, mortalitas, pertumbuhan penduduk, mobilitas penduduk, sumber data kependudukan, dan kebijakan kependudukan. Ada 6 modul dalam buku ini, diantaranya membahas pengantar demografi yang meliputi perkembangan demografi dan kaitannya dengan pembangunan serta struktur dan persebaran penduduk. Selain itu juga akan membahas kebijakan kependudukan yang mencakup perkembangan kebijakan kependudukan dan kebijakan pengeloalaan migrasi yang terjadi di Malaysia dan China.

The decline in aggregate demand leads to slowing growth in real sector and must have a direct effect on employment. Predicted unemployment would rise and certainly has implications for the stability of national economy. Therefore it needs a variety of anticipation, including with fiscal stimulus to reduce the perceived impact of the Indonesian economy. It is the general case that the declfue in activity in the formal sector because of the crisis caused many workers to switch to the informal sector, particularly agriculture. Proven agricultural sector during the economic crisis and still be positive growth and not much affected by the crisis. However agriculture remains a vital sector, given the role of national food security .. Slowing the formal sector activity causes land conversion from agricultural land to non-...

Nevertheless, implementation of decentralization has brought about some undesired effects. Eventhough the decentralization process is generally running well, there has been no excessive political friction so far, the Government of Indonesia has to put more attention on several issues, since the performance of local government remains low and thus the investment attractiveness will be threatened. At least three main issues are identified that shoud be addressed in the implementation of decentralization that is further discussed in this paper. Firstly, emergence of high cost economy (HCE) in the regions. This was caused by local governments policy that was oriented more at efforts of increasing local own revenue than public service improvement. Secondly, difference in fiscal capacity between regions cause lack of uniformity in public service quality between...

The old centralized system of government was replaced by decentralized one. This transformation became effective in 2001. The essence of decentralization is improvement of people welfare through betterment of public service provision. Therefore decentralization can not be viewed as a separate issue from national development objective, especially poverty alleviation. Nonetheless, implementation of decentralization has brought about some undesired effects. Many regional governments focus more on raising their own revenues by introducing regional regulations that hampered economy at much larger scale. On the other hand, the progress of economic recovery was slow, where for some their welfare level has not moved back to pre-crises level. Therefore Indonesia is facing two great challenges in its future. This paper intends to explore these issues and what to be coped in the near future.

The policy of BLU/BLUD is to grant each hospital authorization in managing their funds and resources under the principles of public accounting. Unfortunately, not all government-owned hospitals were granted BLU/BLUD authorization, especially hospitals outside of Jakarta, because local government did not wish to lose one of their main income. The main focus of this research is to calculate the efficiency of the hospitals of which have been granted BLU/BLUD, since one of the main purposes of BLU/BLUD is to provide high quality and efficient health care to the public. The measurement of hospitals’ efficiency is not an easy thing to do, since there are so many inputs and outputs ...

The pandemic period required adjustments in all sectors of life, including changes in people's behavior, namely spending more time at home. Changes in people’s behavior are needed to break the chain of Covid-19 transmissions, one of which is the implementation of Health protocols. Research on the behavior of the Indonesian people in dealing with the Covid-19 pandemic includes public knowledge and understanding, compliance in implementing the 3M health protocols, and the important factors that influence changes in people's behavior to comply with the health protocol. Data was collected by distributing online questionnaires, surveys to crowd locations and FGDs. National online and offline surveys are divided into 3 regions, namely Java, West Indonesia and East Indonesia. The analysis was carried out using statistical methods, namely dependency analysis, factor analysis, and multinomial regression. The conclusion...

Furthermore, in the last decade, the economy of Jakarta has not only influenced in its administrative area, but also has moved across its surrounding area, such as Bogor, Depok, Tangerang and Bekasi. As a consequence, it has changed the allocation of land using in those areas, from the exertion of rice field using to office, manufacturing and residential activities in such a way that going to show a city face. This process is often called urban sprawl. According to the urban economics theory, there are 3 sectors that can change a region as a new urbanized area which are office, manufacturing, and residential activities. This research try to find how those sectors of the economy of Iakarta influence the land allocation process...

Although this approach is somewhat well-developed in behavioral science, its utilization in urban economics study, is still limited. Detecting the traffic congestion and its cause mainly relies on physical (engineering) methods, i.e V/C ratio. Here, we define the traffic congestion through two variables; ordinal traffic congestion perception and proportion of expected travel time to perceived travel time. Using a non-probabilistic sampling survey held in one of densest business district in Jakarta called Sudirman-Thamrin Golden Triangle Area; the estimation results show that travel behavior plays a major role in affecting travel time perceptions.AbstrakStudi ini bertujuan untuk melihat tingkah laku masyarakat Jakarta terhadap kemacetan di Jakarta.

It is predicted that if the government does not take immediate action to solve this problem, there will be a potential loss of IDR65 trillion by 2020 (Bappenas, 2007). This consists of IDR28.1 trillion in operational costs and IDR36.9 trillion in opportunity costs from time lost. This study is aimed at estimating how much Jakarta citizens’ are willing to pay to overcome the congestion problem. By using the stated preference method, the estimation result shows that the annual cost of congestion in Jakarta is estimated at IDR50.2 trillion a year. Furthermore, this result can be used as a baseline for a cost-benefit analysis by the government to generate a better public transportation policy in Jakarta.Keywords: willingness to pay, congestion, stated preference method, conditional logit
