Dynamic Tourism in ASEAN Countries: Do Institutional Indicators Matter?

Tourism is one of the fastest-growing industries. Tourism is able to move the economy forward at the micro-level such as encouraging the informal sector and local potential while at the macro level it can increase currency transactions. In various countries, the tourism sector is able to increase domestic and foreign demands as well as to encourage transportation, hospitality, and manufacturing industries. This study examines the effect of institutional indicators on tourism in ASEAN countries during 2000-2018 under dynamic panel estimation. The number of observations was about 180, namely: time series from 2000-2018 and cross-section of 10 countries. ASEAN as one of the destinations in the world requires an increase in institutional quality to be able to compete and provide world-class tourism services. The six institutional indicators were employed such as voice and accountability, political stability and absence of violence, government effectiveness, regulatory quality, rule of law, and control of corruption. Moreover, the dynamic panel estimation was expressed by Pooled OLS and REM estimations. Interestingly, the findings show that political stability compromises the number of tourist arrivals while government effectiveness can stimulate tourist arrivals. Similarly, GDP per capita can hinder the number of tourist arrivals, while the exchange rate leads increasing of tourism arrivals. Thus, the governments in ASEAN countries can promote and cooperate together to develop tourism in the regional level. The GDP per capita of ASEAN countries should be increased, and the level of exchange rate can be maintained at a stable range. Besides, the governments should also improve the quality of institutions

Threshold Levels of Poverty and Unemployment Rates on Economic Growth in Indonesia during COVID-19 Pandemic

During the COVID-19 pandemic, poverty and unemployment rates obstruct economic growth in Indonesia. Therefore, this study examines the threshold levels of poverty and unemployment rates on economic growth for 34 provinces in Indonesia in 2020 and 2021. Cross-section threshold regression is employed. Besides, the robustness check sets a non-linear cross-section regression. The findings reveal that threshold poverty rates in 2020 and 2021 were about 13.97% and 6.38%, respectively. At the same time, threshold unemployment rates were about 3.09% and 4.71%, respectively. Poverty and unemployment rates contributed significantly under U-shape in 2021 and 2020, respectively. The local government can emphasize lower poverty and unemployment rates to enhance economic growth in the long-term.          

SECTIONAL DYNAMICS PROBLEMS AND GOVERNMENT INVOLVEMENT IN THE RESOLUTION PROCESS OF AHMADIYYA SECT IN WEST NUSA TENGGARA PROVINCE

Ahmadiyah is not a new religious movement in Indonesia. This paper will focus on the conflict of the Ahmadiyya Congregation in West Nusa Tenggara which shows and explores the dynamics and resolution of the conflict that occurred. This research uses descriptive qualitative approach. The data collection technique was carried out by interviewing via zoom meeting with informants by Prof. Suprapto (Deputy Chair of the West Nusa Tenggara Religious Harmony Forum). The secondary data in this study used the library research method. The data collected and processed comes from books, journal articles, and other sources that are credible and related to this research. The conclusion obtained is that the Ahmadiyya conflict in West Nusa Tenggara is one of the protracted conflicts. From 1998 to 2018 it took 20 years with an unpredictable conflict process that barely ended because the local government was not yet functioning in handling the Ahmadiyya case. The Pattern of Conflict Handling carried out by FKUB NTB in the Ahmadiyya case uses Conflict Management. However, it has not been developed thoughtfully, especially peace-building because the peacekeeping and peace-making stages have not produced results, so it isn't easy to encourage peace-building in West Nusa Tenggara In the context of conditions for the recovery of the social community in West Nusa Tenggara, it is best if the integration of the lives of the people of West Nusa Tenggara is made on the government's agenda in various related agencies. An agenda that is not only about religion but involves and involves various levels of society to build relations between communities.Ahmadiyah bukanlah gerakan keagamaan baru di Indonesia. Tulisan ini akan berfokus pada konflik kelompok Ahmadiyah di Provinsi Nusa Tenggara Barat yang memperlihatkan dan menggali dinamika dan resolusi konflik yang terjadi. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan pendekatan deskriptif kualitatif. Dimana teknik pengambilan data melalui wawancara secara zoom meeting dengan informan Wakil Ketua Forum Kerukunan Umat Beragama Provinsi NTB. Adapun data sekunder pada penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian kepustakaan. Informasi yang dikumpulkan dan diolah peneliti berasal dari buku, artikel jurnal dan sumber lain yang dianggap kredibel dan relevan dengan penelitian yang dilakukan.  Adapun kesimpulan yang diperoleh bahwa, konflik Ahmadiyah di NTB termasuk pada konflik yang berlarut-larut. Dari mulai tahun 1998 hingga 2018 dibutuhkan lebih kurang 20 tahun dengan proses konflik yang tidak terduga bahkan nyaris tak usai karena belum optimalnya peran pemerintah daerah dalam menangani kasus Ahmadiyah tersebut. Pola Penanganan Konflik yang dilakukan FKUB NTB pada kasus Ahmadiyah dengan menggunakan Manajemen Konflik. Namun, belum dikembangkan secara serius terutama peace building dikarenakan tahap peace keeping dan peace making masih belum membuahkan hasil maka sulit untuk terdorongnya peace building di Nusa Tenggara Barat. Dalam rangka pemulihan kondisi sosial masyarakat di Nusa Tenggara Barat, sebaiknya pengintegrasian kehidupan masyarakat NTB dijadikan agenda utama pemerintah. Agenda yang tidak melulu tentang keagamaan namun merangkul dan melibatkan berbagai lapisan masyarakat guna membangun hubungan antar masyarakat

Non-Gaussian Analysis of Herbarium Specimen Damage to Optimize Specimen Collection Management

Damage to specimen collections occurs in practically every herbarium across the world. Hence, some precautions must be taken, such as investigating the factors that cause specimen damage in their collections and evaluating their herbarium collection handling and usage policy. However, manual investigation of the causes of herbarium collection damage requires a lot of effort and time. Only a few studies have attempted to investigate the causes of herbarium collection damage. So far, the non-gaussian approach to detecting the causes of damage to herbarium specimens has not been studied before. This study attempted to explore the effect of species type, time, location, storage, and remounting status on the level of damage to herbarium specimens, especially those in the genus Excoecaria. Gaussian modeling is not good enough to model the counted data phenomenon (the amount of damage to herbarium specimens). Negative binomial regression (NBR) provides a better model when compared to generalized Poisson regression and ordinary Gaussian regression approaches. NBR detects non-uniformity in the storage process, causing damage to herbarium specimens. Natural damage to herbarium specimens is caused by differences in species and the origin of specimens
