“…However, agricultural development on these lands is still lagging behind compared to agriculture in dry land or tidal swamps. The same fact has been found by [27] in many swamp areas where farmers tend to grow local rice varieties In terms of technology, the Indonesian Agency for Agricultural Research and Development (IAARD) has produced various innovative technologies to increase the productivity of lowland swamp farming. However, the productivity of cultivated plants is still low.…”

This research was carried out to know the status of agricultural technology innovation used by farmers in lowland swamps and formulate policy recommendations for relevant stakeholders in land management for sustainable farming. The study was conducted using a survey method with a structured questionnaire and focus group discussion in 5 villages in Banjar Regency, South Kalimantan, with a total of 48 respondents. The results showed that the main commodity cultivated by farmers in lowlands was rice, where the agricultural technology innovation used was still limited to the use of superior varieties, while the use of other technologies was still low which resulted in low farm productivity. The causes of limited use of agricultural technology innovations include poorly organized land conditions and high-water levels in the land that make it difficult for equipment operations, narrow land area per farmer, limited infrastructure for mobility of agricultural machinery, limited capital, and low educational level of the main actors. Some of the proposed recommendations are improving cultivation technology, especially fertilization according to nutrient status and yield targets, land and water management, using mechanical devices as needed, and increasing the role of related institutions.

“…Most farmers in the region prefer to cultivate local varieties that better suit their needs and plans, enabling them to save costs and devote more time to other tasks. Therefore, the most adaptive approach is to optimize local rice farming [61]. Cultivating local rice varieties does not require strict working hours, so farmers can use their spare time to seek another source of income.…”

Rice, as a staple food of Indonesia, is facing increasing demand while its availability stagnates due to the conversion of agricultural land in Java. This study explores a strategy to counteract this shortfall by accelerating rice production in non-Java tidal swamp areas.A key challenge in this context is to enhance the technical efficiency of local rice farming. Conducted in 2021 in the Kapuas and Pulang Pisau districts of Central Kalimantan province, Indonesia, this study aims to quantify the technical efficiency of local rice farming in these tidal swamp areas and identify factors contributing to its inefficiency. Empirical data were collected through surveys and focused group discussions, and subsequently analyzed using stochastic frontier production. The findings suggest that the average technical efficiency level is 0.58, albeit with variations across villages, ranging from 0.45 to 0.71. It was found that the size of landholding, the use of pesticides, labor, and harvesting tools have a significant positive impact on rice production. On the other hand, inefficiency is influenced by factors such as the number of household members aged 15 or above, education level, and the proportion of total household income derived from rice farming. These insights are valuable for policymakers and program planners aiming to improve the efficiency of rice farming in tidal swamp environments. It is recommended that government programs focus on the prerequisites for tidal farming, specifically water management infrastructures. Additionally, the application of locationspecific technology may enhance the productivity of local rice varieties in tidal swamps.

“…Recently labeled as the "New Bali" by the national government, NTT recorded a growth of tourist visits as fourfold during -2018(BPS Nusa Tenggara Timur, 2019. Concerning Indonesia as a country, tourism is recognized as the third-largest contributor to national income (Bire, 2020;Yusuf, 2020). Nonetheless, NTT's provincial government has placed tourism to be the backbone for regional development, which is in accordance with the national government's priority towards tourism as the leading sector for national development (Kementrian Pariwisata Indonesia, 2019).…”

This paper aims to explore a conceptual criteria framework for measuring tourism destination competitiveness at the regional level to fill the existing gap in literature. This study was conducted in the East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) Province of Indonesia, by developing a tailored set of criteria for measuring destination competitiveness specific for the regional backdrop through rigorous literature review and in-depth interviews with tourism experts. Moreover, a hybrid MCDM approach combining DEMATEL and Fuzzy TOPSIS techniques was employed to analyze interrelationships and importance rankings of the developed measurement criteria. This research developed a six-factor and twenty-three indicator framework deemed relevant for assessing destination competitiveness at the regional level. The six factors comprise of destination attraction, general infrastructure, superstructure, destination management, price competitiveness, and regional government policy. The DEMATEL analysis revealed regional government policy to be the most influential factor, whilst destination attraction was rendered the most important one. Results from the Fuzzy TOPSIS present the most important indicators from the framework as a natural attraction, accessibility and port infrastructure, accommodation, the image of the destination, and priority towards the tourism sector. Findings from this research provide valuable insights in terms of proposing tourism policymakers with a blueprint of regional destination competitiveness criteria that offers critical inputs for developing medium and long-term tourism strategies.
