Aceh International Journal of Social Science Volume 3 Number 1, June 2014
Publisher : Aceh International Journal of Social Science

Abstract: This paper is about to prove that hypertension has been becoming as a major health problem among the working-aged population in Aceh’s urban area, defined as those 18-64 years old. The employed procedures are pursuant to ethical standards of National Institute of Health Research and Development, Indonesia Ministry of Health. This research is conducted from April 2012 to November 2012 as a cross-sectional study with purposive sampling scheme in urban areas of Gampong Ceurih, Ulee Kareeng sub-district of Banda Aceh, Indonesian’s province of Aceh. The inclusion criterions for the participants in this study are: 1) Married 2) categorized as poor people based on standard of Central Bureau of Statistic (BPS). Logistic regression with bivariate and multivariate analysis is employed to scrutinize linkage between several individual characteristics and hypertension. Bi-variate logistic regression confirms that age group, educational backgrounds, employment and housing status as well as obesity are statistically significant to hypertension stage-1; moreover, the probability of hypertension stage-1 increases progressively with increasing age and BMI. Multivariate logistic regression confirms that the individual characteristics of the poor those are significantly determining hypertension only age group and BMI class. For normal weight (BMI 25), the probability to get hypertension stage-1 at aged 18-30, 31-42, and 43-54 years are 7.05%, 25.36%, and 70.53%, respectively. For the obese (BMI ≥30), the probability to get hypertension stage-1 at aged 18-30, 31-42, and 43-54 years are respectively 36.18%, 71.76%, and 94.71%. This evidence implies that hypertension is a common health problem of the poor at elderly population. In short, government intervention should not only deal with curative aspect such as enforcing universal health coverage program to entire population in Aceh because this program may be ineffective to maintain health of the poor if the healthy foods are still hard to be obtained by poor families. Key Words: Health Problem, Aceh, Poverty Issues

The purpose of this research is to describe the role and the effect of hotel and restaurant taxes on Banda Aceh’s local own source revenue. Its role will be focused on analyzing tax contribution, the efficiency and effectiveness of tax collection system. Meanwhile, its effect on local own source revenue can be identified by regression analysis for 27 years (1984-2010). The results show that the average contribution of hotel and restaurant taxes is still relatively low. Moreover, the system of tax collection in Banda Aceh has been performed efficiently and effectively. But, there is a gap between the potentiality and the realization of taxes. Furthermore, hotel and restaurant taxes are statistically significant influenced local own source revenue. Therefore, government should pay more attention to improve the tax administration system in the future, enhance the quality of tax administrator, increase tax efforts intensively than extensively, and implement rewards and punishment on the overall systems. In sum, the role and the effect of hotel and restaurant taxes can induce Banda Aceh’s local own source revenue. Keywords: Hotel and restaurant taxes, Efficiency, Effectiveness, Effect of Tax, Local Own Source Revenue

Publisher : Aceh International Journal of Social Science

Abstract: This study tried to estimate the competitiveness of Indonesian tuna exports in the ASEAN market during the period 2005-2010 and analyze the factors affecting the competitiveness of exports of tuna. Several data analysis methods were used to measure the commodity of Indonesian tuna with competitiveness to the ASEAN market are the Revealed Comparative Advantage (RCA) and Constant Market Share Analysis (CMSA); while the panel data regression is used to examine the factors that affect the export competitiveness of Indonesian tuna to the ASEAN countries. This is indicated by the value of RCA obtained less than 1. This also shows that the competitiveness of Indonesian tuna is still relatively high (strong); while the value of CMSA is positive, it indicates that Indonesia is still be able to maintain the competitiveness of tuna fish in the ASEAN market. RCA and CMSA size is then used as the dependent variable in the regression analysis panel. The results of the panel regression estimated using a random effects indicate that GDPi negative and significant, while GDPj, POPj, Distance and exports have a positive and significant effect on RCA. The result of the pooled least square estimation indicates that GDPi and POPi are negative and significant, while the POPj gives a positive and significant influence toward CMSA decreased. Keywords: Competitiveness Revealed Comparative Advantage, Constant Market Share Analysis, Panel Data Regression

ELECTRICITY AND ECONOMIC GROWTH IN INDONESIA’S PROVINCE OF ACEH Fahrul Rizal
Aceh International Journal of Social Science Volume 3 Number 1, June 2014
Publisher : Aceh International Journal of Social Science

Abstract: This paper is distinguished from previous research in term of using sectoral electricity consumption data (residential, commercial, public, and industrial) rather than of using aggregate electricity consumption data in order to examine the relationship between electricity and economic growth. The vector error correction model is employed to scrutinize the linkage based on data covering time span 1995-2031 in Indonesia’s Province of Aceh. The empirical evidences indicate that the long-run bidirectional relationship exists between, (1) commercial electricity consumption and economic growth and, (2) public electricity consumption and economic growth. In addition, the short-run bidirectional relationship exists between economic growth and all of the sectoral electricity consumption. The results imply that the government policy for power development is purposed to maintain the bidirectional causality between economic growth and electricity consumption. Keywords: Sectoral Electricity Consumption, Economic Growth, Aceh, Vector Error Correction Model.
