Investment in Banten

Generally, economic was stimulated by consumption and investment. Consumption will put on production sector to create output. Increasing consumption will increase output more higher. In the other side, invesmtent has economic multiplier bigger than consumption.

The number of foreign (PMA) and domestic (PMDN) investment project that was be approved by government in 2004 increased. The number of PMA project in 2004 was 71 projects and 85 projects in 2005. Mean while, the number of PMDN project was 11 projects in 2004, and in 2005 is 17 projects. The value of PMA approves incressing project. In 2004, the value of approved was US $ 262.82 million where as in 2005 about US $ 805.68 million.

The value of PMDN approved project was Rp 1,12 quintillion in 2004 become Rp 1,23 billion in 2005. Issues of terrorist, political and security condition not affected investment fascinating. Invesment promotion by Banten government sould be ineffective when the global situation of Indonesia is not condusive. By BKPMD data in 2005, the highest value of investment planning is South of Corean (US $ 47.60 million), then Belgium (US $ 6.5 million), Chinese (US $ 5 million) and Malaysia (US $ 1.7 million).

By agricultural development then ap of North and South Banten could be narrowed.

The whole of PMDN investment planning was definated for industry sector, such as: Basic chemical, food,metal until printing. Once again, investor not interest yet in agricultural sector. Banten government needs a special effort to pull of investor in agricultural investment capital.

Technical Notes

Gross Domestic Regional Product described the ability of a region in creating output (value added) at a certain time. To compile those, three approaches has been used, i.e. “production approach “, “expenditure approach”and income approach. All of them, presenting the composition of value added according to economic sectors, source of income and expenditure component.

The first approach is to explain output produced by various kind of economic activity, which value added generated by economic sectors; the second approach is to explain the final uses of the value added that had been created by all economics sectors; the third approach is to explain the value added that become the source of income, which derived from the aggregate of wage/salary, benefit, decrease and net indirect taxes.

GDRP and its aggregations are presented in two forms, at current market prices and constant market prices. In presenting current market prices, all aggregates are valued at current market prices. While, base year constant market prices are shown by valuing all aggregates at fixed base year prices. (Year of 2000 has been used as the base year now)

Economic growth derives from GDRP at constant market prices, by decreasing the value GDRP year of n with the value GDRP year of n-1 and divided with the value GDRP year of n-1 than multiplied with 100 percent. Growth rate of GDRP shows/explain incom /production progress of certain year to the previous year Per capita GDRP is one of macro economic indicators that use to measure the level of citizens productivity in a region at certain time/year. Per capita GDRP is GDRP at current market prices divided by mid-year population of a region at certain year.

Pilkada Kota Terancam Diundur

TANGERANG KOTA - Kekisruhan yang terjadi pada lembaga KPUD Kota Tangerang membuat pelaksanaan pilkada Kota Tangerang ditunda. Hal ini tercermin dari sikap dua partai besar di Kota Tangerang, yakni Partai Keadilan Sejahtera (PKS) dan Partai Demokrat (PD) yang pesimis, tahapan pilkada akan berjalan sesuai jadwal. Karena itu, petinggi PD Kota Tangerang menyarankan agar Pilkada Kota Tangerang diundur waktunya hingga 2010 atau sesudah Pilpres 2009.

Ketua Organisasi Kepemudaan Kaderisasi (OKK) DPC PD Kota Tangerang John Alfred Nikijuluw mengatakan, jika melihat suhu politik yang terjadi di tubuh KPUD Kota Tangerang dan KPUD Provinsi Banten lebih baik Pilkada Kota Tangerang diundur penyelenggaraannya. “Kami sangat khawatir kalau dipaksakan diselenggarakan Pilkada Kota Tangerang akan penuh dengan persoalan,” kata John, Kamis (10/4).

Menurutnya, belum adanya kepastian di lembaga penyelanggara Pilkada itu menjadi pertimbangan tersendiri, sehingga partainya mengusulkan Pilkada Kota diundur saja. “Sampai sekarang saja belum ada kepastian dan persiapan dari lembaga penyelenggara. Bahkan, yang ada anggota KPUD yang telah ada mau diganti semua. Okelah seandainya diganti, apakah waktu yang tinggal enam bulan ke depan dapat maksimal. Belum lagi kalau anggota KPUD yang lama melakukan perlawanan hukum, sudah pasti berantakan. Makanya daripada Pilkada Kota Tangerang penuh dengan persoalan lebih baik diundur saja, biar maksimal,” ujar Sekretaris Fraksi PD DPRD Kota Tangerang ini.

Di tempat terpisah, Ketua Bapilu DPD PKS Kota Tangerang Wawan Tavip Budiawan menyayangkan adanya pembentukan tim seleksi anggota KPUD Kota Tangerang. Seharusnya, tak perlu ada Timsel KPUD karena dengan surat edaran dari KPU Pusat saja sudah bisa menutupi kekosongan anggota KPUD Kota Tangerang. “Terus terang secara pribadi saya pesimistis dengan Pilkada Kota Tangerang. Kalau estimasi Pilkada paling lambat diselenggarakan Oktober, apalagi Agustus atau September, apakah penyelenggara Pilkada dengan waktu yang sempit, dapat melengkapi semua tahapan dengan sempurna,” kata Wawan.

Dijelaskan Wawan, dalam UU Nomor 22 Tahun 2007, Pasal 1 sampai 3, ada klausul yang menyebutkan jika anggota KPUD setempat sedang menghadapi Pilkada, maka dapat diperpanjang. (adr)

Revisi RTRW Disosialisasikan, Reklamasi Pantura kembali disoal

TANGERANG, TRIBUN- Lembaga Kajian dan Advokasi Kebijakan Publik (Lanskap) menilai revisi Rencana Tata Ruang Wilayah (RTRW) yang disahkan Pemerintah daerah Kabupaten Tangerang kurang dikaji secara komprehensif.

Lanskap memandang perlu dilakukan kajian mendalam bersama-sama dengan seluruh elemen masyarakat sebelum revisi RTRW itu disusun kedalam Peraturan Bupati yang didalamnya mencakup Rencana Detil Tata Ruang (RDTR).

"Revisi RTRW ini jangan sampai bertentangan dengan peraturan atau undang-undang diatasnya. Seharusnya, lembaga legislatif dan eksekutif juga harus mensosialisasikan revisi RTRW tersebut" kata Koordinator Lanskap, Gatot Yan dalam acara Bedah Perda Reklamasi dan Tata Ruang di sekretariat Himpunan Mahasiswa Tangerang (Himata) Jumat (18/4).

Lanskap mengungkapkan perubahan RTRW yang meliputi pembentukan kota baru Pantura dan rklamasi harus berpatokan pada aturan-aturan yang berlaku. Selain berkoordinasi dengan konsultan, Pemerintah juga diminta selalu berkoordinasi dengan lembaga-lembaga yang berwenang menangani masalah ini ditingkat pusat.

"Harus diakui secara objektif aspek positif reklamasi untuk percepatan pembangunan Kabupaten Tangerang kedepan memang tidak sedikit, terlebih dengan munculnya regulasi Perda Kota Baru Pantura. Tertatanya kawasan pantai, tersedianya ruang bisnis dan permukiman baru, lapangan kerja yang semarak, ataupun meningkatnya arus investasi yang akan tercipta tentu tidak mudah diperoleh saat ini. Namun seyogyanya, masyarakat perlu diajak dan diberi tahu sebelumnya untuk merumuskan Perda perubahan RTRW itu, agar dikemudian hari tidak menemui kendala" kata Gatot Yan.

Saat ini, pemerintah daerah tinggal menyusun RDTR dalam bentuk perbup setelah revisi RTRW itu disahkan pada akhir maret 2008 lalu dan menunggu verifikasi pemerintah Provinsi Banten.

Sebelumnya, Ketua DPRD Kabupaten Tangerang Endang Sudjana mengatakan revisi RTRW dalam pembuatannya telah sesuai dengan UU nomor 26 tahun 2007 tentang Tata Ruang Nasional yang mencakup kebijakan secara makro.

"Keberadaan pembangunan PLTU di Desa Lontar, Kecamatan Kemiri contohnya, itu sudah sesuai dengan perpres nomor 171 tahun 2005 tentang pembangunan PLTU untuk kebutuhan listrik Tangerang dan Jakarta" kata Endang Sudjana.

Dalam kebijakan makro RTRW itu juga Kn dilakukannya reklamasi pantai Pantura yang akan menyambung dengan pantai Bojonegoro serta pembangunan tandon air di Kecamatan pakuhaji dan Kecamatan panongan sebagai upaya penanggulangan banjir serta peningkatan intensifikasi pertanian secara terpadu disetiap wilayah yang memiliki potensi di sektor pertanian.

Sedangkan untuk kebijakan secara mikro, dalam revisi RTRW ini disebutkan adanya pergeseran revitalisasi wilayah pada kecamatan Kosambi dan Teluknaga yang sebelumnya sebagai kawasan pergudangan, pertanian dan industri kini bergeser sebagai kawasan perkotaan, perumahan dan pelabuhan.

"Saya juga menghimbau kepada pihak legislatif maupun eksekutif untuk mensosialisasikan perda RTRW kepada seluruh lapisan masyarakat Kabupaten Tangerang" kata Endang Sudjana.
