East Kalimantan is a province full of paradoxes. This region has considerable economic potential measured in terms of its abundant endowments of natural resources, including oil, natural gas, gold, coal and forestry. Yet, East Kalimantan still lacks infrastructure, has poor human resources and high levels of unemployment, factors that condemn much of the population to a life of poverty and hardship. The new system of regional autonomy, which has been implemented since 2001, was expected to give more benefit to the regions, as regional governments have held relatively more power and fiscal capacity. Law 22/1999, which has been revised twice, has provided more authority to regional governments to manage their respective regions. The introduction of fiscal decentralisation through Law 25/1999, further revised in Law 33/2004, has favoured regions rich in natural resources such as East Kalimantan. As it has abundant natural resources, this region has received greatly increased funds from the central government due to the implementation of sharing revenue formula generated from the exploitation of natural resources. These supposed to give more opportunities for the rich regions such East Kalimantan to accelerate regional development and bring their people to greater prosperity. Nevertheless, East Kalimantan has realized neither the objectives of regional autonomy nor the community aspirations for a more prosperous society. This paper aims to examine the extent to which regional autonomy laws have impacted people's welfare in East Kalimantan.

Penelitian dilakukan pada tahun 2004 - 2006 di Danau Semayang dan Muara Kaman (bagian dari Sungai Mahakam), Kalimantan Timur, melalui survei lapangan dan wawancara langsung dengan nelayan, masyarakat, dan Dinas Perikanan, Dinas Perlindungan Hutan dan Pelestarian Alam. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui penyebaran secara spasial, status pemanfaatan, dan upaya konservasi pesut Mahakam (Orcaella brevirostris). Hasil pengamatan menunjukkan bahwa distribusi pesut Mahakam secara spasial terdapat di Muara Kaman, Muara Sungai Pela Kecil, muara Sungai Pela Besar, Danau Semayang, dan Danau Melintang. Pada saat ini, pesut Mahakam di Sungai Mahakam digunakan sebagai wisata air bagi turis domestik maupun luar negeri. Upaya konservasi pesut Mahakan dapat dilakukan melalui perlindungan habitat dari pencemaran dan pendangkalan, perlindungan suaka perikanan yang berfungsi untuk penyedia makanan alami serta meningkatkan peran aktif masyarakat agar turut menjaga kelestarian pesut. This study was conducted during 2004 to 2006 in Semayang and Melintang Lakes, Mahakam segment around Muara Kaman River of East Kalimantan, through field survey methods, and directly interview to respective respondens of fishers, local people, Fisheries Regency Departement and Forest Protection and Natural Resources Conservation. The objective of the study was to elucidate the distribution spasial, utilization status, and conservation effort of freshwater dolphin (Orcaella brevirostris). Results show that the spasial distributions of freshwater dolphin were found in Kaman, Pela Kecil, Bank of Pela Besar Rivers, Semayang, and Melintang Lakes. Freshwater dolphines was used as echotourism for local and foreign tourisms.

Coral reefs and all the life in them are one of the natural resources owned by the Indonesian people that are invaluable. Bontang city, located in East Kalimantan, is dominated by the ocean. Observation of the condition of coral reefs has been carried out by diving (diving) or snorkeling. For certain conditions, such as difficult locations, it does not allow humans to dive and observe directly the condition of coral reefs. This study proposes an alternative observation of coral reefs in Bontang waters using ROV. ROV is an underwater explorer robot controlled by an operator with a control device. The ROV in this study uses the arduino mega2560 as a controller, the BTS7960 module as a motor driver, MS5540CM sensor, motor as a driver. The ROV is equipped with a camera to take pictures and display them on a monitor. The results show that the ROV can work in the water, the ROV movement can be controlled and can maneuver well. ROV can automatically maintain depth when not operated with a range of ± 5 cm. The camera video system works well. The image captured by the camera can be displayed on the monitor in realtime. From the test results, it was found that the delay was less than 1 second between the image captured by the camera and the image displayed.

ABSTRAK Kalimantan Timur terkenal sebagai daerah yang kaya akan sumber daya alam, khususnya yang terkait dengan kehutanan, pertambangan, perikanan dan minyak dan gas. Sejak 2012, provinsi ini telah dibagi menjadi dua wilayah, Kalimantan Timur dengan 10 kabupaten / kota dan provinsi baru, Kalimantan Utara telah mengelola 5 kabupaten/kota. Kinerja Anggaran Daerah (APBD) telah dipengaruhi oleh kebijakan ini. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memberikan analisis perbandingan mengingat kinerja anggaran daerah dan daerah sebelum dan sesudah ekspansi Kalimantan Timur. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa ditinjau dari perspektif APBD provinsi, terdapat perbedaan statistik antara periode sebelum dan sesudah pemekaran provinsi. Perbedaan tersebut terutama ditemukan dalam dengan rasio desentralisasi, rasio interdependensi, rasio belanja modal, dan rasio pengeluaran tak terduga. Keempat jenis rasio tersebut menunjukkan performa yang semakin baik pada masa sesudah pemekaran daerah. Studi ini juga menunjukkan hasil bahwa ditinjau dari perspektif APBD kabupaten/kota yang berada dalam wilayah administrasi Provinsi Kalimantan Timur, tidak terdapat perbedaan kinerja APBD yang signifikan secara statistik antara periode sebelum dan sesudah pemekaran. Kata kunci: kinerja APBD, pemekaran daerah, rasio keuangan. ABSTRACT East Kalimantan is well-known as a natural resources-rich region, particularly associated with forestry, mining, fishery and oil and gas. Since 2012, this province has been splited into two regions, East Kalimantan with 10 regencies/municipalities and the new province, North Kalimantan has administered 5 cities. Regional Budget (APBD) performances have been affected by this policy. This research aims to provide comparison analysis in the light of regional and local budget performance before and after East Kalimantan expansion. It is confirmed that from budget province perspective, there were statistically differences between pre-expansion and post-expansion periods. Those differences were associated with decentralization ratio, interdependency ratio, capital expenditure ratio, and unexpected expenditure ratio in East Kalimantan budget. Meanwhile, it has been discovered that there were no statistically differences between pre-expansion era and post-expansion era in terms of budget performances in East Kalimantan’s regencies/municipalities.Keywords: APBD Performance, regional expansion, financial ratio.

The City

As the area of the city that became the capital of a province, the province of East Kalimantan,and the natural resources abundant enough, the investment climate in the city of Samarindashow progress very quickly, and became one of the main targets for investors to develop thebusiness. Some sectors of life are rising because of increasing population is transportationand recreation needs. Transport in a fairly densely populated cities, where the populationis about 726 233 Samarinda souls (2010 census results), will certainly have an impact oncongestion and pollution. With the solution propagate green open space (in the form ofForest City), where the latter planted trees are trees that can absorb chemicals and toxinsthat are produced from such pollution. Besides urban forests can also serve as a recreationalarea for the community, and as an area to perform other activities that positively. Generalconclusion is that the government of Samarinda should provide more open areas of greenopen space in the form (Forest City) in each sub-region, so that the activity is notconcentrated only in the Mahakam River Edge only, but can be broken down into severalareas, which of course will also reduce the risk of congestion in the city.Sebagai daerah kota yang menjadi ibukota dari sebuah propinsi, yaitu Propinsi KalimantanTimur, dan dengan sumberdaya alam yang cukup berlimpah, maka iklim investasi di KotaSamarinda menunjukkan kemajuan yang sangat cepat, dan menjadi salah satu target utamabagi investor untuk mengembangkan usaha. Beberapa sektor kehidupan yang meningkatkarena jumlah penduduk meningkat adalah transportasi dan kebutuhan rekreasi.Transportasi di kota yang cukup padat penduduknya, dimana penduduk Kota Samarindaadalah sekitar 726.233 jiwa (hasil sensus 2010), tentunya akan berdampak pada kemacetandan polusi. Dengan adanya solusi memperbanyak Ruang Terbuka Hijau (dalam bentukHutan Kota), dimana nantinya pohon-pohon yang ditanam adalah pohon yang dapatmenyerap unsur-unsur kimia yang bersifat racun yang dihasilkan dari polusi tersebut.Selain itu hutan kota dapat juga berfungsi sebagai area untuk rekreasi masyarakat, dansebagai area untuk melakukan aktivitas-aktivitas lain yang positif. Kesimpulan secaraumum adalah pemerintah Kota Samarinda harus menyediakan lebih banyak lagi areaareaterbuka berbentuk Ruang Terbuka Hijau (Hutan Kota) di setiap wilayah kecamatan,sehingga aktivitas masyarakat tidak terpusat hanya di Tepian Sungai Mahakam saja, tetapidapat dipecah ke beberapa wilayah, yang tentunya juga akan mengurangi resiko kemacetandi dalam kota.
