Merauke is located in the eastern part of Indonesia that is rich of natural and cultural resources  potential for tourism. Tourism could be a solution to reduce poverty, especially through community-based tourism. Communities reap economic benefits from tourism industry by the increase of local income, hence the social welfare. On the contrary, poor management may lead the emerging Merauke tourism into environmental ecosystem damage. Such a threat to environmental sustainability outweighs any economic benefits because future generation will suffer from the inherited damaged environment. This article will discuss Merauke community participation in fostering the development of sustainable tourism through community-based tourism, that is maintaining sustainability of the environment and ecosystem while considering local communities sociocultural conditions. In doing so, this study uses a descriptive-qualitative approach. Data was collected from document tracking and interviews with Merauke Regional Government, WWF activists, and community leaders. The findings indicated that local communities supported Merauke tourism by developing entrepreneurship in tourism industry, increasing community social control in protecting the environment and enhancing the role of local customary leaders in supporting the tourism development.

ABSTRACT Poverty is one of the problems prioritized for completion by the central government or the regions. This condition seems to have no limits because every year the problem of poverty is an issue that has always been a discussion of the government. As in Bali, even though the tourism industry is growing very rapidly, until now the problem of poverty is still a fundamental problem that needs to be resolved. Based on data from the Central Statistics Agency in 2016 the poverty rate of the province of Bali is 4.25% and one of the districts that has a higher poverty rate than the province is Tabanan Regency [1]. Various poverty alleviation programs have been implemented to break the cycle of poverty. However, poverty alleviation programs that have been implemented by the Tabanan regional government are still not optimal. In overcoming these problems, this study has the aim of creating an application system that can identify the conditions of households in Tabanan regency. The system built will identify a family based on 5 welfare categories so that it will provide an easy assessment for the poverty program survey officers. The system development model uses the K-Nearest Nighbor algorithm in modeling and classifying households. The results showed the system had an assessment accuracy rate of 83% Keywords: Poverty, Poor Households, K-Nearest Neighbor ABSTRAK Kemiskinan menjadi salah satu permsalahan yang diprioritaskan untuk di selesaikan oleh pemerintah pusat maupu daerah. Kondisi ini seakan tidak ada batasnya karena setiap tahun permasalahan kemiskinan merupakan isu yang selalu menjadi pembahasan pemerintah. Seperti halnya di provinsi bali, meskipun industri pariwisata berkembang sangat pesat namu sampai saat ini permasalahan kemiskinan masih menjadi permasalahan mendasar yang perlu diselesaikan. Berdasarkan data Badan Pusat Statistik tahun 2016 tingkat kemiskinan provinsi bali sebesar 4,25% dan salah satu kabupaten yang memiliki tingkat kemiskinan lebih tinggi dari provinsi adalah Kabupaten Tabanan [1]. Berbagai program pengentasan kemiskinan sudah dilaksanakan untuk memutus siklus kemiskinan yang terjadi. Namun program-program pengentasan kemiskinan yang sudah dilaksanakan pemerintah daerah Tabanan masih belum optimal. Dalam mengatasi permasalahan tersebut, pada penelitian ini memiliki tujuan untuk membuat sistem aplikasi yang dapat mengidentifikasi kondisi rumah tangga yang ada di kabupaten Tabanan. Sistem yang dibangun akan mengidentifikasi sebuah keluarga berdasarkan 5 katagori kesejahteraan sehingga akan memberikan kemudahan penilaian untuk petugas pendata program kemiskinan. Model pengembangan sistem menggunakan algoritma K-Nearest Nighbor dalam memodelkan dan mengklasifikasi rumah tangga.

Article 33 paragraph (3) of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia implies that the natural resources which belong to the State are used for the prosperity of the people of Indonesia. Thus, in carrying out the mandate of the Constitution to create justice for the community and national economic development of employment including foreign workers, the government should provide a good mechanism and supervision so that there will be no gap between the mandate of the constitution and the acceleration of economic development involving foreign workers. Labor inspection done by a separate working unit in the agency whose scope of duties and responsibilities is in the field of employment is in the central government, provincial government, and district/ city government. This study used a normative-empirical approach, where the researcher examined the law and its implementation regarding the roles of district/ city governments in the supervision of foreign workers. The purpose of this study was to examine the extent of the roles of district/ city governments in overseeing foreign workers in their regions. The results of the study showed that the roles of district/ city governments in carrying out the supervision of foreign workers in Indonesia were not regulated by laws of No. 23 of 2014 concerning regional government, PP No. 20 of 2018 concerning the use of foreign workers, and Minister of Manpower Regulation No.10 of 2018 concerning procedures for the use of foreign workers. Thus, its implementation made it difficult for district/ city governments to oversee the presence of foreign workers in their areas.

The mining industry plays a significant role in economic growth and development. Coal is a viable renewable energy source with 185.175 billion deposits in Thar, which has not been deeply explored. Although coal is an energy source and contributes to economic development, it puts pressure on environmental sustainability. The current study investigates Sindh Engro coal mining’s impact on environmental sustainability and human needs and interest. The Folchi and Phillips Environmental Sustainability Mathematics models are employed to measure environmental sustainability. The research findings demonstrated that Sindh Engro coal mining is potentially unsustainable for the environment. The toxic gases (methane, carbon dioxide, sulfur, etc.) are released during operational activities. The four significant environment spheres (atmosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere, and lithosphere) are negatively influenced by Thar coal mining. The second part of the analysis results shows that human needs and interests have a positive and significant relationship except for human health and safety with Sindh Engro coal mining. Environmental pollution can be controlled by utilizing environmentally friendly coal mining operations and technologies. Plantation and ecological normalization can protect the species, flora, and fauna of the Thar Desert. The government of Pakistan and the provincial government of Sind should strictly check the adaptation of environmental standards. Furthermore, the researchers should explore the environmental issues and solutions so that coal mining becomes a cost-efficient and environmental-friendly energy source in Pakistan.

This research paper explores the economic, environmental, and socio-cultural sustainability of Delhi tourism from the perspective of tourists. Primary research was conducted among tourists based on a structured questionnaire at various tourist places across Delhi. This research paper used exploratory factor analysis (EFA), confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), and structural equation modelling (SEM) for examining and analysing the sustainability of tourism. The research findings on environmental pressure (EP) validate that tourism has been exerting huge pressure on the environment. The environment management (EM) system adopted by the tourism industry has failed in mitigating the adverse impacts of tourism and achieving environmental sustainability. The findings about economic empowerment (EP) prove that tourism has failed to achieve economic sustainability by empowering the local community. The destination governance (DG) mechanisms are directly contributing to the sustainability of tourist places. However, the findings on socio-cultural pressure (SP) fail to substantiate the argument that tourism is putting huge pressure on socio-cultural sustainability. Thus, tourism development in Delhi is not conducive to achieving environmental, economic, and social sustainability. Hence, the government should adopt proactive measures to mitigate the adverse impacts of tourism on the environment and economy integrating local communities while formulating and implementing tourism plans and programmes.
