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

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 position as the world’s largest archipelagic state makes small-scale fishing vessels central to mobility and coastal livelihoods, yet many traditional boats still face uneven access to legality services, safety oversight, and state support conditions that can increase operational risk and exclude fishers from entitlements such as subsidized fuel. This study investigates how shipping governance is applied through the management of a Small E-Pas (e-Pas Kecil) outlet in Pangkil Village, Bintan Regency, and assesses what the outlet’s village-level implementation implies for traditional fishers. Using a qualitative, descriptive case study design, the research draws on systematic document analysis of national regulations and circulars, official institutional releases, and local media reports related to vessel measurement, registration, service delivery, and inter-agency coordination; the data were examined through thematic content analysis and coding aligned to core governance principles transparency, accountability, participation, and effectiveness supported by source triangulation. The findings indicate that the outlet has brought legality services closer to an island community by measuring and registering dozens of vessels under 7 GT, strengthening fishers’ legal identity, and facilitating access to subsidized diesel and basic safety support, while also promoting more standardized risk-prevention practices. However, implementation remains constrained by limited digital literacy among fishers, reliance on a small number of trained technical staff for measurement and data entry, and fragmented data management and coordination across KSOP, KPLP, and local government agencies, which reduces the consistency and scalability of accountability mechanisms.

Abstract

Coastal regions in Indonesia are increasingly exposed to compound climate-related hazards sea-level rise, erosion, storm surges, and saltwater intrusion while also facing strong anthropogenic pressures, creating not only a management problem but a deeper philosophical crisis about how risk, nature, and human agency are understood.  Against this background, this study aims to systematically examine the philosophical transformation of coastal risk governance from a technocentric Protection, paradigm toward, Radical Adaptation within Indonesian coastal ontology, addressing the gap in philosophical (ontological, epistemological, and ethical) analysis of this transition.  Methodologically, the article applies a systematic literature review, synthesizing 94 selected sources (2010–2025, with seminal works for foundations) gathered through database searches (Scopus, Web of Science, ScienceDirect, and Garuda) and supplemented by semantic search, followed by structured extraction and content analysis using a priori thematic coding across ontology, epistemology, and axiology or ethics.  The findings indicate a clear shift in scholarship and practice: conventional protection strategies centered on engineering control are increasingly inadequate under accelerating uncertainty, while radical adaptation reframes risk as an intrinsic feature of coastal existence that requires coexistence, relationality, and transformative learning rather than defending the status quo.  This transformation is marked by (1) an ontological move from separation/domination to living-with-risk, (2) an epistemological move toward hybrid knowledge that integrates scientific approaches traditional ecological wisdom, (3) an ethical reorientation toward ecological solidarity, intergenerational justice, moral responsibility

Abstract

Efficient port infrastructure is essential for reducing maritime logistics costs and strengthening inter-island connectivity in Eastern Indonesia, where many ports still face constraints such as insufficient basin depth, inefficient berth geometry, and breakwater systems that are not fully aligned with local oceanographic conditions. This study investigates how optimizing an integrated port-infrastructure design can improve maritime logistics efficiency and lower sea-transport costs by focusing on three technical components: modern-ship-compatible berth design, optimal harbor basin depth, and effective breakwater planning. A mixed-method approach was employed, combining a systematic review of recent scientific publications (2023–2024), technical design assessment against relevant international recommendations, and multi-site case studies supported by semi-structured interviews and operational document analysis. Results indicate that increasing basin depth from 10.5 m to 14 m can raise vessel carrying capacity by up to 35% and reduce regional logistics costs by approximately 22–28%. Optimizing berth dimensions to a 600–800 m effective length and 50–65 m operational width can improve cargo handling efficiency by up to 40%, while a site-adapted rubble-mound breakwater can cut weather-related operational downtime by about 15–20%. These findings demonstrate that strategically integrated design optimization can substantially enhance port throughput, reliability, and cost competitiveness in Eastern Indonesia; therefore, prioritizing targeted infrastructure investment, adopting fit-for-purpose international design standards, and strengthening digital port management are recommended to accelerate regional economic connectivity.

Abstract

Cross Equatorial Northerly Surges or CENS are an important atmospheric phenomenon influencing weather variability over the Maritime Continent. These surge events frequently generate hazardous hydrometeorological conditions, including heavy rainfall and surface cooling, posing risks to maritime activities and coastal regions. This study presents a climatological analysis of atmospheric dynamics anomalies associated with CENS over the Western Maritime Continent using a 30 year dataset covering the period from 1991 to 2020. Atmospheric anomalies in precipitation rate, outgoing longwave radiation, relative humidity, and maximum temperature are analyzed using NCEP NCAR Reanalysis data. Active CENS events are identified based on meridional wind speed thresholds during the boreal winter season from November to March, resulting in 170 active CENS days. The results indicate that CENS events are consistently associated with enhanced precipitation, reduced outgoing longwave radiation, increased low level relative humidity, and widespread surface cooling. These anomalies reflect intensified convective activity driven by the transport of cold and moist air masses from the Northern Hemisphere. Maximum temperature decreases by up to 4.5 degrees Celsius due to the combined effects of cold air advection and increased cloud cover that suppresses incoming solar radiation. By adopting a multi decadal climatological framework, this study provides new insights into persistent atmospheric responses to CENS that are not fully captured by shorter term or event based analyses. The climatological baseline established here improves understanding of large scale drivers of extreme rainfall and atmospheric instability over western Indonesia and offers valuable information for enhancing weather forecasting, early warning systems, and maritime risk management.

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.
