Abstract

Spatial inequality between central regions and small islands in Eastern Indonesia shows that infrastructure development remains uneven and socially unjust. This study aims to analyze the role of infrastructure in reducing spatial and social inequality in small island regions, identify sociocultural dynamics influencing infrastructure acceptance and sustainability, and formulate a community-based model of sustainable development. Using a qualitative sociological approach, the study employs SWOT and Participatory Planning Analyses to examine strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats from a local-social perspective, combined with Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) through in-depth interviews, field observations, and focus group discussions in Metimiarang Island. Findings indicate that infrastructure serves as a social integrator that enhances access to basic services, economic opportunities, and social cohesion in peripheral areas. Yet, weak governance, fragmented stakeholder coordination, and low community participation hinder effectiveness. Sustainable programs are those integrating local wisdom and social institutions, notably community-based 3R (reduce, reuse, recycle) systems. The study’s novelty lies in introducing a socio-infrastructural bridging framework, positioning infrastructure as a social bridge linking marginalized regions to development centers. Theoretically, this research expands development sociology by embedding spatial and ecological dimensions, reinforcing the relevance of the sociology of infrastructure within the Sustainable Development Goals, particularly Goals 9 (Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure) and 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities).

Abstract

Forest and land fires constitute a major environmental challenge, with significant implications for vegetation degradation, air pollution, public health, and ecosystem stability. This issue has become particularly concerning in East Halmahera Regency, North Maluku, Indonesia, following the fires affecting the Mount Wato-Wato area in Maba District, where more than 100 hectares of land were reportedly burned. Limited accessibility, inadequate water availability, and the proximity of affected areas to water catchment zones have increased the complexity of fire suppression and the potential for environmental damage. This study aims to examine the characteristics of forest and land fire incidents, identify the contributing climatic and anthropogenic factors, and assess their potential environmental implications, particularly for vegetation and water resources in East Halmahera. A descriptive qualitative approach supported by secondary quantitative data was employed. Data were collected through document analysis and information tracing from reports issued by the National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB), the Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics Agency (BMKG), regional disaster management agencies (BPBD), relevant government institutions, and verifiable mass media reports. The analytical framework integrates fire occurrence information, meteorological conditions, human activities, and environmental characteristics to examine the factors associated with fire occurrence and propagation. The findings indicate that fire incidents during August–September 2026 were associated with a combination of dry atmospheric conditions, the influence of very strong El Niño conditions, and human activities, including suspected uncontrolled land-clearing practices. Strong winds further contributed to the potential expansion of burned areas. Vegetation loss also presents environmental risks through increased soil erosion, sedimentation, and potential deterioration of water quality in affected catchment areas. These findings highlight the importance of an integrated environmental risk management framework that combines weather-based early warning systems, stricter supervision of land-clearing activities, protection of water catchment areas, interagency coordination, and enhanced firefighting capacity, particularly in geographically inaccessible locations. This study contributes to understanding the interaction between climatic conditions, human activities, and environmental vulnerability in managing forest and land fire risks in small-island and archipelagic regions.

Abstract

The sea connects thousands of islands, serving as a conduit for the movement of people, goods, and products between regions. Passenger ships, cargo vessels, ferries, and traditional boats facilitate inter-island travel, including to areas that are difficult to reach by land. Beyond supporting mobility, maritime transport underpins economic activity, as ships are used to transport large volumes of passengers and cargo. However, maritime transport carries inherent risks of accidents, which can lead to material losses, environmental damage, and even loss of life. Such accidents may arise from various factors, including natural conditions, human error, technical issues, or operational management failures. Natural factors include high waves, strong winds, powerful ocean currents, and sudden weather changes. Port oversight plays a crucial role in ensuring the safety of vessels before, during, and after their voyages; officials inspect ship documentation, technical condition, cargo, and the presence of essential safety equipment, such as fire extinguishers and life jackets. The Harbor Master and Port Authority (KSOP) of Tanjung Perak is tasked with overseeing maritime safety, including the verification of a vessel's seaworthiness. To minimize accidents and untoward incidents, the KSOP of Tanjung Perak implements several mitigation measures, such as the use of online applications for purchasing ferry tickets and verifying the identities of passengers and vehicles against the digital manifest. Accident prevention also relies heavily on the preparedness of human resources; crew members and port personnel must undergo regular training. Mitigating maritime accidents at the Port of Tanjung Perak requires collaboration among ship crews, harbor pilots, port officials, tugboat operators, terminal managers, and other relevant agencies. Before setting sail, the captain and crew must ensure that the vessel is seaworthy.
