The waters of the Kepulauan Riau have a strategic position, the entry and exit point of the Malacca Strait and connecting Middle Eastern which known as oil producer countries regions and East Asian Industrial countries. The main role to guard the environment and implement the government policies is the local community in the border area. This study applied quantitative method to investigate public perceptions towards oil waste-related issues by identifying knowledge, attitude, perception about impact and future condition foreseeing, attribution of responsibility, political perception, and political attitudes. KMO Measure of Sampling value is greater than. 5 (KMO = .672) and indicates the research instrument was meritorious and statistically significant (<.001). In term of political perception and attitude, we found a high positive correlation (Pearson’s R=.700, p=<.001) between the two variables. High score in attribution of responsibility to TNI indicates a potential further analysis on behalf of securitization theory from Copenhagen School of International Security and International Relations. Respondents tend to believe and demand that security sector must take a major role within the issues since a normal political process was perceived to be not quite enough to overcome the problems. It means that securitization will be perceived to succeed in the bilateral or trilateral framework instead of multilateral one.
The Asian Cities Climate Change Resilience Network (ACCCRN) is an international institution assisting the Indonesian government to address climate change by incorporating many institutions. Nevertheless, we still lack an understanding of how the network is established in the process of handling climate change between ACCCRN and related agencies in Indonesia. This paper examines network governance during the involvement of ACCCRN in Indonesia. The purpose of the paper is to explore the network established by the ACCCRN in helping the Indonesian government to reduce the impact of climate change. We used a desk study by employing secondary sources to identify the actors, the relationship among the actors, and the outcome of the networks. We suggest that ACCCRN has played a crucial role in reducing the impact of climate change by cooperating with various organisations in Indonesia. In doing so, there are a number of public and non-profit agencies encompassed in the process of collaboration. This study recommends the government to maintain and increase numerous partnerships between international and local institutions in arranging climate change.
Annual sludge oil mitigation in Kepulauan Riau is one of the government’s efforts to comply with the results of the Convention of Marine Pollution (MARPOL) 73/ 78 IMO which is well-known as the basis of efforts to prevent pollution at ocean caused by economic activities at sea. This research aims to observe and evaluate the government effort to comply with the MARPOL 73/ 78 convention and its annual implementation response and mitigate illegal sludge oil activity in Kepulauan Riau Province. The data collection was carried out by sampling method to contaminated areas in Batam and Bintan as a locus of the research. Analysis of Green Theory, in the discipline of International Relations, conducted to provide a spotlight on environmental aspects in a sludge oil occurrence. The understanding of the concept of triangulation between environmental, economic, and state aspects is the basis for understanding the sludge oil issue, which is trying to be described through the perspective of global environmental ethics. It is shown that the overall efforts made by the government are in accordance with the MARPOL 73/78 and environmental analysis based on Green Theory. In conclusion, upcoming mitigation to be improved are appropriate budgeting, technology to response and prevent the occurrence, socialization and empowering coastal local communities, and optimizing regional collective responsibility and cooperation
In Climate Change mitigation, mangroves have an important role as one of the most effective and economic methods of offsetting carbon emissions and protecting shoreline erosion. Mangroves in Indonesia have a total area of 2.9 million hectares, 52 thousand hectares of them disappear every year and aquaculture is responsible for 40 percent. In contrast, with the level of mangroves damage threats is high, the level of sustainable ecosystem awareness is low. In accordance with previous studies, mangroves forests in Bintan Island have been cut down to supply combustion and ended up into charcoal. However, it can be minimized by enabling the local communities to avail themselves of carbon offset/conservation payments under approved climate change mitigation strategic-plans. The law enforcement of Law no 32 Year 2009 and the PERDA No. 14/2007 about neighboring Bintan Island Regional Coastal Planning were designed to support the Mangroves Conservation in Bintan Island. This paper aimed to examine mangrove ecosystem management through the collection of data and information on the socio‐economic in 8 potential villages in Bintan; Busung, Kuala Sempang, Penaga, Pengujan, Bintan Buyu, Tembeling, Mantang Baru and Sebong Lagoi. This study found Busung, Kuala Sempang, Penaga and Pengujan as 4 potential Villages to be seriously developed and recommends the government to gain more partnerships in arranging and solving mangroves conservation problems.
Although many local civil society organisations (CSOs) involve in reducing the impact of climate change, the issue has been reported by a limited study. This paper addresses the gap by investigating the role of local CSOs in helping to anticipate the effect of climate change. This study looked into the case of Riau because it has many CSOs concerned with environmental problems. The objectives of this research are to classify the environmental CSOs in Riau and analyze their contribution to climate change resilience. Using a qualitative approach, the data were collected by using interviews on a series of participants, including CSO’s activists, government officials, academicians, and community leaders. We reveal that local CSOs can be classified as conservation, advocation, empowerment, and conflict resolution. Along with their own and government programs, the CSOs have been contributed to tackling climate change by ensuring forest and peatland preservation. The theoretical and practical contributions of the study are elaborated.
