Examining Personal Data Protection Law of Indonesia and South Korea: The Privacy Rights Fulfilment

Personal data leakages have been experienced by both Indonesia and South Korea. To ensure the protection of privacy rights relating to personal data, both countries have promulgated special laws, namely the Indonesian Personal Data Protection Law (PDP Law) and the South Korean Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA). This study aims to compare the two laws to ascertain their similarities and differences by adopting a comparative law approach. The study found that similarities exist in the two laws. They are to protect personal data and confer rights on data subjects. In the absence of explicit consent given by data subjects, data controllers and processors are prohibited from collecting and processing the data with some exceptions. They also mandate a special institution that is tasked to investigate and sanction data controllers and processors when they conduct data infringement. There are inherent differences in the two laws. PIPA is designed to be the framework legislation and PDP is designed to be a special statute. Additionally, PIPA mandates the institution dealing with personal data protection without referring to any other law but the Act itself.  PDP Law clearly states that further provisions relating to this institution will be governed by Presidential Regulation.

Actors’ Contestation in Responding to Government Policies Regarding Development of Broiler Poultry Farming Business: A Case from Blitar, East Java, Indonesia

This study examines the contestation among actors responding to government policies in broiler farming. The research method employed is qualitative. A comprehensive investigation into each actor’s characteristics allows for a thorough understanding of unfolding contestation. The study took place in Blitar, East Java, Indonesia. The results indicate three key actors: the integrator farm, the independent farm, and the family farm. An integrator functions as an investor; while an independent consists of breeders with land, resources, and labour. Family farmers are operated by individuals with limited production capacities.  The government, aiming to ensure a stable supply of livestock for domestic consumption, utilizes its legislative authority to facilitate investment prospects in Indonesia.  Integrator farmers seize this opportunity to dominate broiler arming, compelling their actors to align with their interests. Independent farmers safeguard their interests through collaborative partnerships, whereas family farmers can only express their discontent with the government through protests

Porosity Correlation to The Compressive Strength of Porous Concrete

Timber is one of the oldest construction material used by human since the dawn of civilization. The use of timber in construction has slowly diminished since the inventions of concrete and steel materials in the last few centuries. Since then, timber has been connoted with construction material that has issues with weak strength performance, fire endurance, and long-term durability. After more than a century of unpleasant perceptions, renaissance of timber in construction has started near the end of 20th century after the re-inventions of massive timber elements that have similar performance as concrete when it is used in building constructions. Particular products that have gained attention recently from architects and structural engineers are glue-laminated timber (glulam) beams and cross-laminated timber (CLT) plates due to its high strength-to-weight ratio and flexibility for use in various structural elements of multi-story buildings. With the introduction of performance-based building codes in Europe and North America, the use of massive timber elements in tall buildings has received wide acceptance and has been in competition mode with traditional reinforced concrete material. The main objective of this study is to review performances of massive timber elements in various building applications in terms of strength, cost-competitiveness, and last but not least sustainability impacts including its contribution to carbon neutrality effort. Historical and literature reviews will be given to demonstrate feasibility of timber and its massive elements for building applications with considering reinforced concrete as the benchmark. Challenges and opportunities of timber use in construction will be discussed including potential use in hybrid system in which engineers can combine material constituents used in forming structural components or systems to reach optimum performance without ignoring sustainability constraints. It is expected that the outcomes of this study will encourage architects and engineers to use more timber globally as alternative sustainable construction material beyond the regions commonly utilizing timber as construction materials for generations. 

EXTRACTING THE PLANNING ELEMENTS OF MINORITY TOURISM DESTINATIONS IN SOUTHWEST CHINA BASED ON AVC THEORY

In the process of rural modernization, great changes have taken place in rural landscapes throughout the world, but there is a lack of a universal comprehensive evaluation index system for landscapes. AVC theory is the ternary theory of tourism destination landscapes proposed by Professor Binyi Liu. “A” represents attractiveness, “V” represents vitality, and “C” represents ability. Undeveloped minority villages have good tourism destination potential. Therefore, AVC theory can be used to extract the elements of rural sustainable development planning. Taking Nongying Village, a Buyi village in southwest China, as an example, AVC theory is combined with AHP and a comprehensive evaluation model of the rural environment in Nongying Village is constructed using a multiobjective linear weighting function. A comprehensive assessment and extraction of its unique rural environmental conditions is undertaken. The results show that the rural economy has obvious vitality advantages, and Camellia oleifera can be used as a key planning element for sustainable development. The advantages of environmental carrying capacity are obvious, and the overall ecological environment is at a good level. The social attraction is relatively weak. The innovation of this paper is to study the planning and development elements of ethnic minority villages in Southwest China from the perspective of tourism AVC and to conduct an in-depth investigation on the revitalization of oil-tea agricultural resources and Buyi culture in local villages. This study can provide a certain planning reference for the development of tourism destinations and villages with similar agricultural resources and ethnic minority characteristics in the region
