Global logistics industry is one overseas business whose revenues are divided to the thousands of players with perhaps only a small portion to each player. In the context of international trading, a great benefit of the business is determined by the Incoterms-2000 (now is Incoterms-2010, which is internationally accepted as commercial terms) that defines the roles and responsibilities of buyers and sellers in the aspect of transportation and other obligations. Most national logistics companies are doing business in under the FOB (freight on board) mechanism in accordance with Incoterms-2000. FOB restricted business opportunities only in Indonesia area, more specifically of the origin of commodities to the port of loading. To explore the broader business opportunities, there are another trading mechanism of Incoterms-2000 with more opportunities that can be achieved by logistics service providers as well as industries. These trading mechanism include models of DDU (Delivery Duty Unpaid) and DDP (Delivery Duty Paid).
What kind of opportunities that may be obtained and challenges encountered in the implementation of DDU and DDP mechanism?

In the context of the logistics system, the port has a vital role to support the implementation of national logistics effectively and efficiently. Efforts in that direction can be realized through the implementation of the port of a reliable and highly capable, able to guarantee efficiency, and have global competitiveness, as has been mandated in the Law no. 17/2008 on Shipping. The role of the port needs to be optimized as a node in the national transport network, in addition to other roles is as the gate of economic activity, support industrial activities and/or trade, place of distribution, production, and consolidation of commodities/goods. Moreover, in the constellation of transport and national logistics system, the port also plays an important role as a node activity over modes of transport (multimodal transportation).
Geographical position, the distribution of natural resources, and demographic conditions of Indonesia has put transportation as one important element in supporting the life of society, nation and the state in all aspects of life whether political, economic, social, cultural, and defense. With such characteristics, of course, the movement of people and goods from one island to another, and even to foreign countries to be supported national logistics systems that are reliable.
Concerning with the importance of efficiency of national logistics, Indonesia as an archipelago needs to improve the performance of the national logistics performance. The determination of hub port location precisely, especially in the western region of Indonesia, will be improving the effectiveness and efficiency of logistics.

Deregulation policy on aviation has encouraged the rapid growth of air transport in the last decade. This policy has attracted local government to develop airport but lack of concern in the principles of efficient infrastructure development. This trend was experienced by Adisutjipto Airport, Yogyakarta and Adisumarmo Airport, Surakarta. Efforts to optimize the potential of both airports can be achieved by integrating these two airport services in order to operate as one integrated airport services.
What kind of transport services model that can be integrating and optimizing the potential of both airports (Adisutjipto, Yogyakarta dan Bandara Adisumarmo, Surakarta)?

Universitas Gadjah Mada, largest and oldest university in Indonesia starts the implementation of greener policy inside campus. Started from year 2011 (July 2011), all new students are not allowed to use their motorized vehicle (motorcycles and cars) inside campus area. The program is welcomed and appreciated by many, although some are questioning several aspects of this policy such as equity and sustainability as well the technical aspect of the program like safety and technical design.
Back to 2005, our center together with Center for Tourism Studies UGM and Center for Environmental Studies UGM initiated the ‘Green Bike’ program, providing free bikes for use in campus and surrounding area including interconnection with near campus area (other universities). This ‘Green Bike’ program was on voluntary basis, use funding from many donors. Although there were some regular users, this program faced many challenges scaling up the activity to bigger size, such as reguler funding and management.
Started from September 2011, the new system called ‘Campus Bike’ is provided for (especially new) students. The system connects 8 bike stations with 230 bikes (at beginning) at free. The student only needs to show their student card and the bike is ready to use. The have to return the bike within 30 minutes in the destination stations and ‘logout’. The system is designed to be able to upgrade using computerized system, but in the beginning the operation still using manual recording. If the student is not return the bike, their names will be recorded until they return the bike. The policy also facilitated private bike users and public transport users. The university provides bike parking in every building. The university also has cooperation with public transport operator to provide cheaper ticket for students.
Some regular bike users appreciate the program very well. Recently, biking activity is also increasing in the city especially for youngster and several groups like workers or students. The Yogyakarta city also has been established campaign program called ‘SegoSegawe‘ (biking for school and work). On the other side, the question rises over the safety measure to prevent the crash especially in area with high conflict between bike and motorized vehicles (such as at crossing). There is also question about the equity aspect when only new students that not allowed to bring their motorcycle/car to the campus, while older students are not. The other question is about the sustainability of the program regarding the improvement of the system.
Like any other ‘new’ initiative – biking actually is not new in Yogyakarta (used to be known as Bike City) – the questions and appreciations will always be there. Our center has been committed to provide technical assistant to the program as well as other networking activity to support this green program.
The delivery of commodities using rail freight services is still very low compared with other transportation modes such as trucks, plane, and ship. Timeliness, freight security, and material handling in loading and unloading area (railway station) have been major issues in freight service through Railway. Beyond the limitations of its existing condition, the railway has advantages over road modes, among others: a greater payload capacity, the lower barriers during the trip, more efficient in fuel consumption (greener). In the context of people’s consumption that is predicted increasing, along with a number of Indonesia’s population continues to grow, freight railway service can be a solution for the distribution process of commodities which is expected to double in number.

Infrastructure systems are essential to provide a range of services in support of economic development and quality of life. The lack or low quality of infrastructure adversely affects the living standards of people, their health, their participation in education and their capacity to compete in local, national and international markets. In Asia, continued high population and economic growth figures in combination with major infrastructure related problems have kept infrastructure development high on the agenda. Although policies guiding infrastructure investments are aimed at addressing poverty alleviation and reducing unemployment, success is limited. Prevailing approaches to infrastructure provision have generally remained centrally led, engineering driven and are known to often fail in fulfilling socio-economic development objectives.
To improve the benefit of infrastructure provision, it is believed that a paradigm shift to community centered infrastructure development is needed. Such a shift is supported by current academic and professional debates, in which physical infrastructures are increasingly seen as systems that provide the physical facilities and their associated services to meet social and economic needs. These facilities and services are to be planned and designed according to sound planning and engineering fundamentals, guided by principles of equity and fairness and directed towards environmental, economic and social sustainability. To do so, requires an approach that would typically involve communities actively in recognizing infrastructural problems, identifying potentials and resources as well as formulating alternative planning and engineering solutions.
To address this need for sustainable community based infrastructure systems, organizations at all levels are increasingly in need of staff with multidisciplinary knowledge on infrastructure systems, their interaction with and impact on people, land, the economy and the natural environment. To contribute to this aim, the Master Programme on Management of Infrastructure and Community Development (MICD) has been initiated. It is hoped that a critical mass of professionals can be created that are capable of implementing an integrated, community oriented approach to infrastructure development.
Two years after the establishment, MICD is ready to graduate its first batch. These professionals will be back to the field and ready to implement their skills. It is important to know they will operate in a multi-disciplinary setting and whether the competences gained from MICD can enhance their capability to deal with the real life infrastructure challenges These issues are discussed with stakeholders in infrastructure development during a one day seminar.
Objectives
The Seminar aims to conclude on the relevance of educating multi-disciplinary infrastructure professionals in Indonesia and evaluate the MICD programme in its capacity to train these kind of professionals. Knowledge development through relevant current and future ademic research is discussed in support of both aims.
Participants
Participants are expected from central government, local government, NGO’s, consultancy firms, international development agencies, managers of on-going projects, and academia.

Telecommunication has been the important part of everyday life as well as good program such as Universal Service Obligation (USO) in telecommunication sector. Universal service obligation has been the driving force for narrowing the gap between urban and rural area. Universal Service is to achieve availability, non-discriminatory access and widespread affordability of telephone services. Universal Service is in general a per-household concept measured by the percentage of households with a telephone. Universal Access is taken to mean that each person is within a reasonable distance of public-access telephone. Universal service obligation has been a central focus of the development in telecommunication sector contributing to larger development objectives of reducing poverty through creating access for rural community to information and thus new opportunity to improve their livelihood. It further enables rural community, poor people and least developed regions to exploit their social and economic potentials.
The policy migration on USO program to development performance and inter-sectoral approach lead to development of knowledge-based economy. It refers to the use of knowledge to produce economic benefits. It is part of transition to a “knowledge economy”, as an extension of “information society”. The transition requires that the rules and practices that determined success in the industrial economy need rewriting in an interconnected, globalised economy where knowledge resources such as know-how, expertise, and intellectual property are more critical than other economic resources such as land, natural resources, or even manpower.
From development perspective there is strong demand for policy migration on USO Program, from organizing a regulatory conformance to development performance. Hence, USO program not only focusing in providing the infrastructure and the matter of the regulation compliance, but also providing service or development performance. In addition it also migrates from Independent (Telecommunication Sector) to Interdependent (Multi Sectors).
To respond those issues, a forward-looking technology choices are became very important since the wide range of various demand exist in USO program with multi-sector approach. In the near future, communications facilities and service competition is expected to increase as the communications sector converges. The demand for converging communication will shift technology to one based on IP protocol and gravitates towards new kinds of networks built with technologies such as wireless, wireline, fibre, cable, powerline, and satellite. Toward this trend the Next Generation Network (NGN) technology offers capability for converging communication and providing unlimited service options.
This project brief indicates a term of reference for participating member states and its dialog partners to identify rural demand for the implementation of Next Generation Network (NGN) in Universal Service Obligation (USO) practices for ASEAN countries and provide a recommendation for intersectoral approach for knowledge base economy in rural area in the region. The main objectives of the project are:
- To produce at a series of recommendations in NGN implementation in rural area in the context of multi-sectoral approach.
- To asses rural demand on NGN technology implementation in rural area in the ASETo identify NGN implementation option in rural area, with its advantage and disadvantage
- To share lesson learnt from multi-sectoral program in rural area for technical, administrative, and costs requirements for NGN in USO implementation in the ASEAN Member States.
- To provide recommendation for NGN implementation in rural areaAN member countries.
- to reinforce the ASEAN Member Countries commitment to USO,
- to promote a common understanding of its importance in extending the benefits of regional integration through future-ready technology in ICT development.
This project is already finished and produce several interesting findings, guidelines, and recommendations. The report can be downloaded at www.pustral-ugm.org/irud.
