Although the participating farmers of transmigration program are provided with enough land to fulfill their basic needs, their ability to cultivate the land is very limited. From a case study of Tulang Bawang Transmigration Area, Lampung, it is indicated that the farmer’s ability to cultivate their land is influenced not only by the technical aspects itself but also by the socio economic aspects such as their previous occupations levels of education and capital ownership.

The purpose of this research is to know how authentic assessment given in social studies. Learning social studies in junior high school includes materials of History, Geography, Economics and Sociology. In monodisciplinary, each of these materials have characteristics and a different way in the planning, implementation and evaluation. But in term of interdisciplinary, evaluation was made in order to provide a throught assessment. In an authentic assessment of students are required to show meaningful tasks then assessed directly in the classroom. Nevertheless, authentic assessment is not only implement in the classroom, but also can assess the tasks performed outside the classroom with project-based learning. The method used in this research is a survey conducted for teachers of social studies in Jakarta. The results showed that an authentic assessment can help students to display meaningful tasks then assessed directly in the classroom. However, authentic assessment is not only implemented in the classroom, but also can assess the tasks performed outside the classroom with project-based learning.

Laju perkembangan penduduk yang sangat pesat merupakan salah satu penyebab utama timbulnya tekanan yang sangat berat terhadap kualitas tanah. Pengamatan terhadap kerusakan tanah di kecamatan Cisarua Kabupaten Bogor, yang merupakan salah satu daerah yang termasuk Kawasan Puncak, dilakukan untuk mengidentifikasi tingkat kerusakan tanah dan factor-faktor penyebabnya, yang sepenuhnya didasarkan pada analisis “overlay” dari peta-peta yang diperoleh dari Direktorat Tata Guna Tanah Departemen Dalam Negeri. Kemudian juga disajikan alternative program untuk menanggulanginya

One of the problems faced by Indonesia, which lies in the industrial sector of sugar, that sugar production in the country that cannot meet consumption needs, so do imports from several countries. There is a huge opportunity to improve the national sugar production. Increased production of sugar to meet domestic needs have been programmed by the government through sugar self-sufficiency program. At first, self-sufficiency is to be achieved in 2014, but a number of considerations, postponed until 2019. Self-sufficiency has several benefits, among others; (a) increase the income of sugar cane farmers; (b) to be independent from the State (importers); (c) to create new jobs, and; (d) save on the use of foreign exchange. Although self-sufficiency has strategic benefits, but there are some constraints, namely; (a) sugar factories generally are old; (b) the total area of sugarcane plants dwindling; (c) the price of sugar on the world market is relatively cheap, so employers tend to be happy import, and; (d) it is difficult to get adequate land as possible to increase the production of sugar cane, mainly in Java.
The data were analyzed using multiple linear regressions, that the sugar production is positively correlated with the total area of the sugar cane crop, but negatively correlated with the volume of imports. This finding reinforces the self-sufficient, that the national sugar production can be increased through increased production and reduced imports of sugar cane. Another fact, domestic sugar consumption was positively correlated with domestic production and imports. This means that imports of sugar can be omitted if the national production has been able to self-sufficiency. For the success of self-sufficiency program is deemed necessary to improve the governance of the national sugar. In this case there is a choice, continuing the pattern of the core estate and smallholder (PIR), which is already applied, or implementing contract farming or cooperative farming.

This paper uses input-output elasticities to identify important economic sectors Output, income and employment elasticities are used to identify key sectors of the Indonesian economy A comparison of the rankings of economic sectors based on input-output elasticities with those based on net backward linkages indicates significant divergence in sectoral rankings obtained from the two approaches The elasticity approach yields more consistent estimates of sectoral output, income and employment potentials than the net backward linkage approach

This study produced several important findings, namely: (a) trade, especially foreign trade (exports and imports) and domestic production which increases the expansion of employment opportunities; (b) economic growth as measured by the growth of production and growth in investment showed an influence on the improvement of employment opportunities; and (c) Simultaneously, export, import, production and investment have a significant effect on employment. In connection with this, the Central Government of the Republic of Indonesia must continue to promote investment, especially sector Agroindustry and other agriculture-based industries, including fertilizer and pesticide industries. Imports of used clothing and used tires must be stopped to allow the national industry sector to recover profitable economic capacity. The agricultural sector must still get attention, especially food crops such as soybean, corn and rice and fruit to strengthen national food agriculture and agriculture-based industries as well as save on foreign exchange

Poverty is a crucial problem which always burdens the government of the developing countries. In Indonesia attention is particularly to be focused inrural areas due to the fact that a high number of poor people live in the area. Emphasis of the development which placed in the rural development will give rise in hope of decreasing number of rural poverty. An appropriate strategy should be formulated to code with the rural poverty problem. This is the prominent role of system analysis approach in the undertaking that covers several steps of work phase structured systematically with priorities and appropriate decision to reach the goal.
