Abstract

This study aims to analyse the environmental and economic impacts of nickel mining activities by PT X on Gag Island, Raja Ampat. The research employs a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collected through literature studies from scientific journals, reports by environmental organisations, relevant legal documents, and credible online news articles related to the mining industry and ecological issues. The findings indicate that mining activities have caused significant ecological damage, including coral reef degradation, marine pollution, deforestation, and disruption of ecosystem balance. On the other hand, the presence of the mining company has contributed economically through increased community income, job creation, and the implementation of corporate social responsibility (CSR) programs. Nevertheless, the adverse impacts experienced directly by local communities, especially Indigenous peoples, have triggered strong resistance against the sustainability of mining operations in the region. This condition underscores the importance of a comprehensive evaluation of mining policies in ecologically sensitive areas, taking into account marine ecosystem protection, forest sustainability, and the rights of affected Indigenous communities.

Abstract

North Sumatra, a key economic region in Indonesia outside of Java, continues to face persistent challenges such as high unemployment, the dominance of the informal sector, and uneven economic growth. Within this context, Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) serve as a cornerstone of the regional economy, particularly through their role in labor absorption and income generation. Despite their significance, MSMEs in North Sumatra still face substantial obstacles, including limited access to financing, inconsistent investment growth, and inadequate policy implementation—factors that hinder their full potential in driving inclusive development. This study examines the dynamic relationship between MSME growth, workforce participation, and Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP) in North Sumatra, employing a simultaneous equation model with time-series data from 2009 to 2023. The Two-Stage Least Squares (2SLS) method addresses endogeneity and simulates the effects of policy interventions projected for the 2025–2030 period. The findings indicate that MSME development is significantly influenced by policy instruments such as tax incentives and minimum wage regulations. Increases in wages and tax reductions enhance labor absorption, stimulate MSME performance, and promote GRDP growth. The study provides practical policy insights for strengthening the resilience and sustainability of MSMEs within North Sumatra’s evolving economy.

Abstract

Indonesia's strategic geographical position and tropical climate provide optimal conditions for various plantation commodities, tobacco being a key contributor to the national economy. Despite its significant role in exports and state revenue through excise taxes, fluctuations in Tobacco Excise Duty (CHT) rates have raised concerns about their impact on farmers' income and global competitiveness. This study aims to analyze the comparative competitiveness of tobacco commodities under HS codes 2401.10 (manufactured tobacco or tobacco remnants from primary tobacco that are not stemmed/stripped), 2401.20 (tobacco that is partly or wholly stemmed/stripped), and 2401.30 (tobacco refuse). The method used to measure the comparative competitiveness of each tobacco HS category is by calculating the Revealed Comparative Advantage (RCA) value. The observation period and central destination countries were determined purposefully, considering 2014 was when the trial increase in national cigarette excise was implemented. The data range in this study spans from 2014 to 2022 (time series), and the central destination countries were determined based on the ranking of countries with the highest tobacco export value from Indonesia each year. Indonesia's tobacco exports showed dynamic trends between 2014 and 2022, with Sri Lanka, Belgium, and the Dominican Republic emerging as the leading destinations for HS codes 2401.10 and 2401.20, while the United States, Vietnam, and Malaysia dominated under HS code 2401.30. Despite its strong competitiveness, fluctuations in export volumes and declining selling prices, especially in the Dominican Republic, indicate the influence of global market conditions, regulatory frameworks, and changing demand patterns. These findings underscore the importance of adaptive trade strategies to strengthen Indonesia's position in the global tobacco market.

Abstract

Public space revitalization aims to improve environmental quality and drive regional economic growth. Depok City Square, revitalized in 2020, has undergone significant physical and social changes. This research analyzes property value changes around the square from 2015 to 2025, identifies spatial patterns of value increases, and evaluates the influencing factors. This quantitative study used secondary data (NJOP and property portals) and primary data from field surveys at 120 points within 0–2 km of the square. Analysis employed multiple linear regression (five variables: revitalization dummy, distance to square, distance to main road, commercial intensity, observation year) and GIS-based spatial mapping. The results showed that average property value increases ranged from 48.4% to 87.9% depending on the distance zone, with the highest increase occurring within a radius of 0–500 meters from the square. The regression model yielded an R² of 0.782, with the revitalization dummy variable as the largest determinant (? = Rp1,924,300/m²). Spatial patterns revealed an uneven distribution of increases, with commercial corridors on the west and north sides benefiting more than residential areas on the east and south sides. The study concludes that town square revitalization had a positive and significant impact on property values, but also triggered commercial gentrification pressures that displaced local MSMEs. Therefore, future revitalization policies need to integrate social protection dimensions and land value capture mechanisms to ensure equitable distribution of benefits.
