Abstract

The Pieh Island National Marine Protected Area (NMPA) is managed by the LKKPN (National Marine Protected Area Office) Pekanbaru and includes distinct zones: a 197.34-hectare core zone, a 39,681.1-hectare limited utilization zone, and a 41.56-hectare anchoring and habitat rehabilitation zone. The largest, the limited utilization zone, highlights the importance of managing human interactions within the MPA. This research focuses on identifying and exploring strategies to address challenges faced by LKKPN Pekanbaru in managing the Pieh Island NMPA, specifically using the Bando Island area as a case study. Bando Island, a survival tourism destination within the MPA, needs to be more adequately managed. A literature review and data collection through focus group discussions (FGD) were conducted. Issues were explored and validated using the APKL (Aktual, Problematik, Khalayak, Layak) analysis, with priorities determined by the USG (Urgency, Seriousness, Growth) matrix. Fishbone analysis was used to identify root causes of top-priority issues, and alternative strategies were ranked using the McNamara approach. The research identified the lack of stakeholder collaboration as the primary issue, leading to the development of the "KADO SPESIAL" model—focusing on stakeholder involvement in every phase of the management process.

Abstract

In the face of rapid technological advancements, innovations in wave forecasting are increasingly essential for effectively addressing the complex impacts of climate change. This study aims to explore technological developments in wave forecasting that can manage the complexities related to climate change and enhance the accuracy and efficiency of predictions in dynamic marine environments. Employing a qualitative approach through a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) methodology, the research focuses on literature from databases such as Scopus, DOAJ, and Google Scholar, specifically targeting publications from 2014 to 2024. Recent findings reveal that advancements in machine learning technologies, including deep learning, ensemble learning, transfer learning, and data augmentation, have significantly improved the precision and efficiency of wave forecasting models. Techniques like Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) have been particularly effective in capturing complex, non-linear patterns within wave data, enhancing the overall prediction accuracy. Ensemble learning methods have further contributed by increasing the stability and robustness of forecasts. Moreover, transfer learning and data augmentation play vital roles in adapting these models to rapidly changing environmental conditions, making them highly relevant in the context of climate change. These approaches are crucial for models to remain adaptable and responsive to dynamic oceanic conditions influenced by climate variability. The insights derived from this study are expected to provide valuable direction for the future development of machine learning-based wave forecasting models, emphasizing the need for innovative techniques that can accommodate the complexities and uncertainties brought about by climate change.

Abstract

This study examines Indonesia’s trade relations with non-ASEAN member countries under the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP). The RCEP, signed in 2020, presents Indonesia with significant opportunities to expand market access, particularly with key partners like China, Japan, South Korea, Australia, and New Zealand. However, challenges persist, particularly in terms of trade imbalances and competitive pressures. The research employs a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative data from trade flow statistics and tariff reductions with qualitative insights from interviews and focus group discussions with key stakeholders. The Importance Performance Analysis (IPA) method was applied to assess the effectiveness of RCEP provisions. Results show that while Indonesia benefits from improved market access, significant trade deficits remain, especially with China and Australia. Stakeholders, including government agencies and private sector exporters, play pivotal roles in mitigating these challenges by addressing non-tariff barriers and enhancing trade facilitation. In conclusion, Indonesia must strategically leverage the RCEP framework to address trade imbalances and improve export competitiveness. Policy recommendations include enhancing stakeholder collaboration, improving infrastructure, and increasing awareness among small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to fully utilize RCEP benefits. These efforts will ensure Indonesia remains competitive in global trade.

Abstract

Nation branding has become a key element in modern communication strategies, particularly in the context of globalization. Countries strive to establish a positive international image, reflecting their unique identity and values. Nation branding is a marketing and communication strategy aimed at enhancing a country’s image, both domestically and globally. Kepulauan Riau participation in the Indonesia-Malaysia-Thailand Growth Triangle (IMT-GT) cooperation, and its hosting of the IMT-GT event in 2023, represents an effort to strengthen its image internationally. The IMT-GT is a subregional economic collaboration involving Indonesia (Sumatra), Malaysia, and Thailand, with the Kepulauan Riau being an active participant. This research utilizes a descriptive-analytical approach, supported by secondary data, to examine the impact of this initiative. One of the notable implementations of this cooperation is the IMT-GT Expo "Gebyar Melayu Pesisir," which showcases Kepulauan Riau local culture and products. This event aims to foster economic growth among the three countries, particularly in the Kepulauan Riau as the host region. The outcomes of the IMT-GT initiatives include agreements that enhance connectivity among member countries, fostering an integrated, innovative, inclusive, green, and sustainable growth strategy, with a vision extending to 2036. This research highlights the potential for the Kepulauan Riau to leverage nation branding through subregional cooperation, enhancing economic growth and international recognition.

Abstract

Indonesia’s status as the world’s largest archipelagic state depends heavily on small-scale fishing vessels, whose legality, safety, and access to state support remain uneven. This study aims to analyze how shipping governance is applied in the management of a Small E-Pas outlet in Pangkil Village, Bintan Regency, and what this implies for traditional fishers. Using a qualitative case study based on document analysis of regulations, official reports, and local media, the research examines the implementation of governance principles of transparency, accountability, participation, and effectiveness. The findings show that the outlet has enabled the measurement and registration of dozens of vessels under 7 GT, strengthened fishers’ legal identity, and facilitated access to subsidized fuel and safety equipment, while introducing a more systematic culture of risk prevention. However, persistent constraints include limited digital literacy among fishers, dependence on a small number of technical staff, and fragmented data management and coordination between KSOP, KPLP, and local government agencies. The study concludes that the Small E-Pas outlet represents a promising yet partial form of shipping governance, and that sustained outreach, integrated digital information systems, and collaborative forums with coastal communities are needed to ensure that E-Pas-based documentation genuinely supports safe and equitable coastal development.

Abstract

The increase in global coastal risk requires a fundamental shift from the technocentric Protection paradigm, which seeks to resist hazards, toward Radical Adaptation, which emphasizes transformation and coexistence. This study aims to systematically review the philosophical implications ontological, epistemological, and ethical of this risk transformation in the context of Indonesia’s coastline. Using an analytical philosophical literature review, it synthesizes empirical and conceptual works on vulnerability, Nature-based Solutions, and local wisdom relevant to Indonesian coastal communities. The analysis employs Busby et al.’s typology of risk transformation to compare how Protection and Radical Adaptation frame the nature of risk, the sources of valid knowledge, and the moral obligations of coastal governance. The findings indicate that the Protection paradigm is grounded in strong anthropocentrism and a view of risk as an external, controllable threat, whereas Radical Adaptation treats risk as an intrinsic feature of coastal existence that demands relational living with dynamic seascapes. This shift raises issues of spatial and temporal justice and calls for integrating scientific and local epistemologies to strengthen social resilience. The study concludes that reorienting toward Radical Adaptation requires reformulating coastal policy objectives around an ethics of responsibility, coexistence, and intergenerational climate justice.
