Rapid development has become a global priority as countries strive to meet the UN Sustainable Development Goals by 2030. Sustainable development is crucial for increasing human well-being in emerging economies while avoiding perverse outcomes on livelihoods, biodiversity, and ecosystem services. China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) promises to help countries reach their national goals for economic growth, trade, and development, but there remain widespread concerns over how this boom in Chinese foreign direct investment (FDI) will impact social-ecological systems. Here, we discuss the risks implicit in BRI-related FDI projects to ecosystems and local communities, and how these risks can be mitigated or exacerbated by national governance of BRI projects and national development policies. We frame our discussion around Indonesia, where convoluted governance of some of the largest Chinese FDI projects may reduce accountability, and a recent job creation law brings risks of rapid unsustainable development practices across this biodiversity hotspot.

Otonomi sudah berlangsung tiga tahun tetapi dampaknya belum terasa. Tulisan ini menganalisa sektor industri mana yang berpotensi untuk dikembangkan di masing-masing daerah, guna mengetahul apa yang harus dilakukan pemerintah pusat dan daerah untuk mencapai tujuan otonomi daerah. Analisa ini menggunakan output dan income multiplier yang didapat dan data IRIO 1995. Nilai multiplier yang didapat menggambarkan keunggulan sektor-sektor di setiap daerah. Dari hasil terlihat, masih banyak daerah yang belum berkembang ternyata memiliki potensi besar untuk dikembangkan. Pengembangan industri di daerah-daerah penting sekali untuk meningkatkan kesejahteraan daerah yang pada akhirnya juga akan meningkatkan pendapatan nasional. Pengembangan industri tersebut sebaiknya diarahkan ke sektor unggulan. Pengembangan industri daerah merupakan tanggung jawab pemerintah daerah, tetapi di awal pelaksanaan otonomi daerah peran pemerintah pusat sangat diperlukan,

The Procurement of Public Green Open Space (RTH) in DKI Jakarta Province is carried out by the DKI Jakarta Forestry Service based on the land status of the BPN. The procurement of green open space is passive based on requests from the community. The DKI Jakarta Forestry Service data shows West Jakarta's public green open space has only fulfilled 8.8%. This study aims to assist stakeholders in the procurement of green open space in terms of ease of procurement. The ease aspect is compiled from land-use parameters, BPN land status, spatial pattern zoning, SIPPT, RTH Assets, and raw rice fields. The analysis results show that many areas included in the green zoning in West Jakarta have turned the function of land into built-up land, making it difficult for the local government to acquire land. This research found alternative lands with existing non-built land use conditions and clear land status and potential spatial pattern zoning targeted as green open space land acquisition targets. The analysis results show that from 4071 plots of land, there are 784 plots of land that are very potential with 179 ha. For potential land, there are 3234 plots of land with an area of 301 Ha and 53 plots of land classified as standard with an area of 2.4 Ha. Land with great potential can be used as a procurement priority for the relevant local government in the procurement of green open space in terms of the ease of procurement aspect.Keywords: Green Open Space, GIS, Green Open Space Potential

Indonesia has an extensive tropical forest, which accounts for almost half of its land. This signifies not only plentiful resources but also numerous problems such as forest fires, deforestation and illegal logging. Although the government has put in place several regulations to address them, these problems persist. Effort was also taken at the international level, with the international community offering an internationallyrecognized, private certification to companies practicing sustainable forest management (SFM). Since the effort is initiated by a private agent, this certification is voluntary. The International Trade Centre (ITC, 2012) reports that there are 17 types of voluntary standards that have been implemented in many countries with many types of products certified. In forest management, so far, there have been two internationally-recognized voluntary sustainability standards (VSS) which can be obtained by any forest concession holder in Indonesia-Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) and Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC). VSS, or private voluntary standards (PVS), emerged at a time when interstate negotiations on collective action for social and environmental concerns had reached a deadlock. Private actors, namely multinational corporations (MNCs) and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) came up with some agreement over good social and environmental practices, known as sustainability standards (Djama, 2011). In many cases, VSS are seen as a more effective way to enforce sustainable practices

Narasi pembangunan pertanian terkait diversifikasi maupun spesialisasi di negara berkembang masih menjadi perdebatan. Penelitian ini menganalisis determinan keputusan diversifikasi menurut karakteristik rumah tangga pertanian tanaman pangan di Indonesia dan menentukan karakteristik rumah tangga yang perlu mendapat intervensi terkait diversifikasi pertanian. Dengan menggunakan analisis regresi logistik, diperoleh hasil bahwa petani memutuskan diversifikasi saat kondisi terbatas dari sisi pendapatan, kepemilikan lahan bukan milik sendiri serta kondisi tanaman yang buruk akibat serangan hama. Ketika kondisi lebih stabil misal usia semakin matang, nilai produksi yang sudah meningkat dan sudah memiliki lahan pertanian milik sendiri, mereka cenderung memilih menanam satu jenis tanaman. Diversifikasi menjadi salah satu solusi untuk menjaga supply chain akan kebutuhan pokok tetap stabil sehingga ketahanan pangan pun akan terpenuhi.
