The Paradox of Indonesian Digital Economy Development

In line with the rapid growth of the global e-commerce industry today, Indonesia has enormous digital economic potential in the future. The Indonesian government is focusing on developing the digital economy by increasing the connectivity infrastructures as well as the local market. Nevertheless, there are some paradoxes caused by the existing regulations. This paper elaborates on the paradox of digital economy development in Indonesia. By using a mainstream-approach policy analysis method, this study describes the problematic situation of Indonesian digital economy governance. This is a qualitative study where the primary data derive from mostly statutes, government official documents, as well as reports. The discussion consists of (1) e-commerce: the main driver of Indonesian Digital Economy; (2) Indonesian Digital Regulatory Framework and Challenges; and (3) The Paradoxes of Indonesian Digital Economy. Due to various sectors of the digital economy, the discussion focuses on the e-commerce sector

Optimasi Economic Emission Dispatch menggunakan Whale Optimization Algorithm untuk Penentuan Biaya Reduksi Emisi

ABSTRAKPembangkit Listrik Tenaga Uap Batu bara menghasilkan zat SO2, CO2, NO2, dan partikel yang merupakan emisi dari proses pembakarannya. Emisi tersebut menyebabkan peningkatan efek pemanasan global, kerusakan lingkungan, dan merusak kesehatan. Dikarenakan pembangkit batu bara masih banyak digunakan di Indonesia maka Economic Emission Dispatch yang dikombinasikan dengan algoritma Whale Optimization Algorithm menjadi solusi dalam pengurangan emisi pembangkit listrik. Dengan cara memasukkan nilai weighted sum pada fungsi biaya dan emisi agar dapat dilihat pembangkit mana yang memiliki kadar emisi lebih rendah untuk memenuhi beban listrik yang dibutuhkan. Pada simulasi tersebut didapatkan pengurangan kadar emisi sebesar 12,73% dibandingkan tanpa menggunakan weighted sum dengan algortima WOA. Hal ini mampu untuk membantu program pemerintah dalam mengurangi emisi karbon agar tidak melebihi standar emisi yang telah ditetapkan sesuai dengan Peraturan Menteri Nomor P.15/MENLHK/SETJEN/KUM.1/4/2019.Kata kunci: PLTU batu bara, emisi, EED, WOA, weighted sum ABSTRACTCoal-fired power plants produce SO2, CO2, NO2, and particulate matter as emissions from the combustion process. These emissions cause increased global warming effects, environmental damage, and damage to health. coal plants are still widely used in Indonesia, Economic Emission Dispatch combined with the Whale Optimization Algorithm is a solution for reducing power plant emissions. By entering the weighted sum value in the cost and emission functions, it can be seen which plants have lower emission levels to meet the required electricity load. The simulation obtained a reduction in emission levels of 12.73% compared to not using weighted sum with the WOA algorithm. This method is able to help government programs in reducing carbon emissions so as not to exceed the emission standards that have been set in accordance with Peraturan Menteri Nomor P.15/MENLHK/SETJEN/ KUM.1/4/2019.Keywords: coal power plant, emission, EED, WOA, weighted su

Fake news and information in Social Media: Problems and challenges, the case in Indonesia

61-68The use of social media in Indonesia currently shows tremendous growth together with increasing Internet penetration. However, along with this growth, fake news in Indonesian social media is also currently showing rapid growth. Social media is being increasingly used to form and signify public opinion. This information trend has been highly used by some public organizations.     Several approaches have been taken to avoid the problem of fake news: socialization through media and group discussions; technical approach mainly by identifying and then blocking the fake news by using crawling engine Cyberdrone 9; and legal approach based on the Electronic Information and Transaction Law which prohibits fake news. Some problems however still exist: · The huge quantity of news in social media makes it difficult to be tracked. · It is difficult to identify and find those who make fake news if foreign IP addressses or foreign Top Level Domains are used. · Although the content in a particular social media has been blocked, it might have been copied and distributed through Intermessaging Services such as WhatsApp, etc. To overcome the above problems, it is important to promote self identification of fake news by the communities

An adaptive Wideband Delphi method to study state cyber-defence requirements

Background—Edward Snowden’s revelations of the extensive global communications surveillance activities of foreign intelligence services have led countries such as Indonesia to take concrete steps to enhance protective information security for classified data and communications. Objective — This paper develops the Wideband Delphi Method to study the Indonesian Government’s requirements for cyber-defence in response to reported secret intelligence collection by the Australian Signals Directorate (ASD). It provides a clearer understanding of the issues that influence Indonesian policymakers’ views on the mitigation of foreign surveillance. Method — We developed and conducted an Adaptive Wideband Delphi Study with senior Indonesian officials, with group discussions and individual sessions to explore how to mitigate the surveillance activities of the ”Five Eyes” (the US-UK-Canada-Australia-New Zealand) intelligence alliance. We used the US National Security Agency (NSA) framework of the three elements of Defence in Depth (people, operations, and technology), in combination with governance and legal remedies, as an analytical framework. Results — We identified twenty-five mitigation controls to deal with the priority concerns of policymakers, which were divided into the five defences in depth elements. Conclusion — We discuss the key requirements for protection against foreign surveillance to be taken into account in state cyber-defence frameworks, and suggest effective mitigation controls for safeguarding and protecting states’ national interests
