Abstract

This study analyzes the potential impact of the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone (JSSEZ) on the development and competitiveness of Special Economic Zones (SEZs) in Batam. Initiated through a high-level agreement between Malaysia and Singapore, the JSSEZ represents a strategic advancement in regional economic cooperation, aiming to integrate complementary strengths such as land and labor in Johor with Singapore’s financial and technological capital. This paper adopts a systematic literature review method to compare the design, sectoral focus, and investment incentives of JSSEZ with existing SEZs in Batam. The study finds significant overlap in priority sectors, such as electronics manufacturing, digital economy, and logistics, which raises both competitive risks and collaborative opportunities. The analysis highlights that while Batam benefits from geographic proximity to Singapore and a long-established industrial base, it faces challenges in infrastructure, regulatory efficiency, and skilled labor retention. The paper argues that JSSEZ could either intensify competition or open up new synergies depending on policy responses and investment strategies. The study concludes that proactive alignment and regional coordination could transform the perceived competition into a mutually beneficial economic corridor.

Abstract

This study evaluates the waste management system implemented by the Kampar Regency Environment Agency in Kubang Jaya Village. This study aims to assess the effectiveness, efficiency, adequacy, responsiveness, and accuracy of waste management policies. A qualitative approach is used, utilizing interviews, observations, and document analysis to collect data. The findings show that waste management remains suboptimal due to limited waste collection, inadequate facilities, and budget limitations. The absence of routine waste transportation and inadequate community participation further exacerbate this problem. Additionally, the lack of a structured waste management system results in reactive rather than preventive action. Waste collection is only available in certain areas, so many households handle waste disposal independently. The absence of waste sorting at the source and the limited capacity of waste disposal facilities further complicate waste management efforts. The findings also reveal that government responses are often slow, with the accumulation of waste leading to environmental and health hazards. Although some initiatives, such as community-based waste management programs and waste banks, have been introduced, their implementation has remained inconsistent. The study highlights the need for increased budget allocation, infrastructure improvements, and increased community engagement to ensure sustainable waste management. Collaborative efforts between governments, the private sector, and local communities are essential to develop an integrated waste management system. Future research should expand its scope to other villages to provide a more comprehensive analysis of waste management throughout Kampar Regency. Overcoming these challenges requires long-term policy planning, regulatory enforcement, and public awareness campaigns

Abstract

This study investigates the relationship between structural transformation and regional inequality in Kepulauan Riau (Kepri), Indonesia, a province strategically located as an industrial and service hub yet marked by persistent disparities. While the Kuznets hypothesis suggests an inverted-U link between growth and inequality, evidence from archipelagic economies remains limited. The main purpose of this research is to assess whether Kepri follows or diverges from the Kuznets trajectory by analyzing sectoral shifts and their implications for inequality dynamics. Using provincial macro and microeconomic data, this study applies panel data econometrics and productivity decomposition techniques to evaluate both within-sector growth and labor reallocation effects. The results reveal that industrial expansion generates high productivity but limited employment opportunities, while services act as a labor sponge with weak welfare contributions. This dualistic pattern, termed the “structural change penalty,” has amplified inequality across sectors and regions rather than reducing it. The findings underscore the need for stronger industrial linkages, service sector upgrading, and inclusive regional policies to ensure that structural transformation fosters broad-based and equitable development. By shifting the analytical focus from the national to the sub-national level, this study contributes new insights into the role of local governance, spatial politics, and policy choices in shaping divergent development paths in Indonesia.

Abstract

This study examines and compares the compliance levels of Indonesia and Singapore with the International Maritime Organization’s Convention on Facilitation of International Maritime Traffic (FAL Convention), focusing on its implications for international shipping standards. The background of this research lies in the growing importance of administrative efficiency and digital integration in port operations as essential determinants of maritime competitiveness. Both countries, situated along vital international trade routes, have ratified the FAL Convention; however, their implementation outcomes differ significantly. The main objective of this study is to evaluate how far both states have operationalized facilitation obligations, including the use of standardized FAL forms, electronic reporting systems, Maritime Single Window (MSW) implementation, and the enforcement of inspection facilitation principles. Using a qualitative comparative method based on document analysis, the research reviews legal frameworks, official port authority guidelines, and international compliance reports. The findings reveal that Singapore exhibits full compliance across all FAL indicators, supported by an integrated MSW, mandatory electronic data exchange, and consistent application of inspection facilitation procedures. Indonesia demonstrates partial compliance, with major ports showing progress in digital reporting but with smaller ports still constrained by limited interoperability, uneven enforcement, and fragmented administrative coordination. These variations stem from institutional capacity gaps, regulatory misalignment, and differing levels of digital readiness. The study concludes that enhancing inter-agency coordination, standardizing inspection procedures, and improving MSW interoperability are critical strategies for Indonesia to strengthen its compliance with the FAL Convention and improve port facilitation performance within global maritime governance.
