INTEGRATED SOCIAL SCIENCES
The increase in the life expectancy has resulted in the increase in the number of population with the age above 60
years old, i.e. senior citizen group. However, the government has not shown its concern to provide facilities for them so
that they may lead a better life.
The total number of senior citizens in Indonesia in 2011 was around 24 million people or nearly 10% of the total
population. In 1970 there were only 2 million senior citizens. Within 40 years, the number of senior citizens has
increased by 10 times, while the number of population has increased by 450,000 people in average. In 2050, it is predicted
there will be 60 million senior citizens, equal to the current joint population of West Java, DKI Jakarta and Banten.
The increase in the number of senior citizens has greater impacts, from political, economic, up to sociocultural
aspects. The senior citizens’political aspiration will be more decisive. There will be more products produced by
industries for senior citizens. Almost every family will have senior citizens. Based on population distribution, 80% of
senior citizens will live in rural areas. This is dangerous to food resistance program because agricultural sector is
dominated by senior citizens who are not productive anymore. Now, the average age of farmers is 45 years old. The
baby boom that happened between 1960 and 1970 will trigger the explosion of the number of senior citizens in the next
10 – 20 years. In the next 5 years, it is estimated that there will be 2 million civil servants who will reach retirement age.
From the age of 50 years old, senior citizens should start preparing themselves to enter retirement period. There
should be empowerment program because around 60% of senior citizens have the potential to be developed. There are
20% senior citizens who are still active and independent, so they do not need assistance. The remaining 20% are those
who are sick, poor, and unable to do anything.

Starting from 28 January 2012, the United States of America has formally rejected oil palm products and its
derivatives from Indonesia. The reason was, the Indonesian oil palm was considered as environmentally unfriendly
product. The notification was received by the Ministry of Trade and we were given time until 27 February to go against
the statement.
The government immediately looked for support from other countries that also consumed palm oil such as Finland.
The Ministry of Forestry had also carried out a study with the European Community related to palm oil contribution to
the emission of carbon.
The US rejection on oil palm product has undermined the competitiveness of Indonesian products. This rejection is
similar on ban imposed by the European Community. According to the US, bio fuel from oil palm does not fulfill
requirements on harmless emission. The safety level of the emission of Indonesia’s palm oil is only 18 percent, while the
minimum requirement is 25 percent. In Europe, the emission minimum safety is 35 percent, whereas the Indonesia’s
palm oil is only rated 21%. The figures are predetermined only by the US and the European Countries by applying
inaccurate calculation and assumption in view of Indonesian condition.
Classification of crude palm oil/CPO as environmentally unfriendly product, if not handled properly will result in
the rejection of Indonesian export. Indonesian CPO export value to the US is relatively small so the US is grouped with
other countries with export value under USD500,000,000. The US market is not significant, but still, we have to make
serious response because they applied several inaccurate data and assumption.

Seven Indonesian mangrove forests become model forests in ASEAN although almost half of the total areas are in
damaged condition. It is easy to find the sample, because North Jakarta coastal region is completely changed to a
luxurious housing area. More than half of our mangrove forests are damaged, and the remainder is in good and in
moderate conditions. However, 70% of the damaged are outside the forest area and only 28% are in the forest area.
Based on the result of the Ministry of Forestry’s survey in 2006, Indonesia had the largest area of mangrove forests
in South East Asia, i.e. 7.7 million hectares. However, when survey was carried out last year, the mangrove forests in
Indonesia which were in good conditions were only 3.6 million hectares, the remainder was either in the damaged or
moderate condition. The damage of the mangrove forests was due to the conversion of their utilization to farms, rearing
ponds, and economic development (housing, paddy fields) and planned cuttings as well as natural disasters.
Meanwhile, the economic value that can be gained from the preservation of mangrove per hectare is quite high. If all is
calculated in Rupiah, the value reaches Rp1.6 billion per ha per year.
To rescue the damaged mangrove, rehabilitation of 10,000 hectare of mangrove forest is carried out every year. In
addition, in the APBN (Annual State Budget), budget is also allocated for the development of People Seed Nursery
(Kebun Bibit Rakyat – KBR). In 2011, it was budgeted to establish 10,000 units KBR that can produce 500 million
mangrove trees. In 2010 only 8,000 units of KBR, while in 2012 there will be 12,000 units.
The Ministry of Forestry is optimistic that Indonesian mangrove forests will be restored. In the survey that is carried
out every five years, it is stated that there will be additional 200,000 hectares of good mangrove forest. The criterion of a
good mangrove forest is that there are more than 1,000 mangrove trees per hectare. If a mangrove forest is damaged,
there are only fewer than 400 mangrove trees per hectare in this area.
For that purpose, seven mangrove forests in Indonesia will become a model in the ASEAN region. The seven
mangrove forests that will apply share learning mechanism are located in Surabaya, Lampung, West Bali, Alas Purwo
(Banyuwangi), Balikpapan, Tarakan, and Jepara.

Most cargo ships in Indonesia were made in 1960 – 1970. The old cargo ships were the first generation and were
only able to carry 1,700 TEUs (twenty-foot equivalent units). Compare those ships with the cargo ships manufactured in
2006 to the present, which are the sixth generation, they have a loading capacity of 15,000 TEUs.
There is a sad fact about Tanjung Priok, the biggest port in Indonesia. The port can only accommodate cargo ships
with a capacity of 5,000 TEUs. Meanwhile, most foreign cargo ships coming to the port have a capacity more than 10,000
TEUs. That the reason why foreign cargo ships have to transfer the cargo in the Singapore Port first before coming to
Tanjung Priok Port. These factors have led to the construction of Kalibaru Port. Kalibaru Port will accommodate 10,000
TEUs of goods.
The construction of Kalibaru Port will accommodate a direct transfer of goods from overseas. The bigger the cargo
capacity of the ships, the more efficient they are as cargo ships. The Kalibaru Terminal Port will be build on 195 acres of
land, which will add 4.5 million TEUs of containers and 9.4 million cubic meters of oil and gas products.

In contradiction to developed countries which started the first decade of the new millennium with a golden period
and closed in a gloomy situation, Indonesia entered the new millennium in a difficult condition, since the economic
instability during the post crisis of 1997/1998. Indonesia was able to overcome the transitional economic period as a
country with income per capita at the end of 2011 reached US$3,000, six times higher than the income in the critical
period of 1997/1998.
If this economic growth could be maintained then it could be possible that Indonesia would become a country
whose people would earn US$4,000 per capita which is equal to an upper middle class income. This development at
present could already be noticed in their life style.
In the near future, this middle class will influence all aspects of life like in politics, economy, social life and culture.
This group of society will influence the domestics markets strongly in the basic demands and will give support to the
Indonesian economic expansion and the new economic centers outside Java will also develop. In the last eight years, the
average economic development is about 6.1 % − 6.2 %, one of the highest achievement in the world.
Nevertheless at the end of the year 2012 Indonesia had to face the challenge of "how to allocate the economic
resources efficiently and effectively" and "how to develop the capacities to innovate and to be ready to absorb new
technology". The ability to meet both challenges will determine Indonesia capability of sustaining the continuity of “a
balance economic growth”.

The slow economic growth in countries of Indonesia market for agricultural products is anticipated to bring effects
to the export performance in the agricultural sector. The Ministry of Agriculture had estimated a surplus in the trade
balance 2012 agricultural products that was around US$16.7 billion or not very much different from that of 2011.
Indonesia does not need to wait for economic recovery in developed countries to support the development of
national palm oil industry. The government can make a variety of efforts to increase the absorption of Crude Palm Oil
(CPO) in domestic markets with much better prices to minimize CPO import. For example, the government can
encourage the production of biodiesel from 1.5 million to 2 million liters, encourage State Electricity Company (PLN) to
use fuels from CPO, or rejuvenate palm plantation by providing subsidies and revising CPO export tax. Since Malaysia
has taken similar actions, it would be more effective if both Indonesia and Malaysia work hand in hand.
The government stated that the products of the plantation subsector would still be the mainstay leading commodity
of the agricultural sector with a tendency of increasing trade surplus. The leading export commodities are CPO, latex,
tea, coffee, and cocoa, exported to China, the United States of America, a number of European countries, and India. In
2013, the export destination countries are believed to still experience slow economic growth. Even European countries
have not shown certain awakening from the global crisis, so that, import of agricultural products, particularly from the
plantation subsector, will not increase.

and closed in a gloomy situation, Indonesia entered the new millennium in a difficult condition, since the economic
instability during the post crisis of 1997/1998. Indonesia was able to overcome the transitional economic period as a
country with income per capita at the end of 2011 reached US$3,000, six times higher than the income in the critical
period of 1997/1998.
If this economic growth could be maintained then it could be possible that Indonesia would become a country
whose people would earn US$4,000 per capita which is equal to an upper middle class income. This development at
present could already be noticed in their life style.
In the near future, this middle class will influence all aspects of life like in politics, economy, social life and culture.
This group of society will influence the domestics markets strongly in the basic demands and will give support to the
Indonesian economic expansion and the new economic centers outside Java will also develop. In the last eight years, the
average economic development is about 6.1 % − 6.2 %, one of the highest achievement in the world.
Nevertheless at the end of the year 2012 Indonesia had to face the challenge of "how to allocate the economic
resources efficiently and effectively" and "how to develop the capacities to innovate and to be ready to absorb new
technology". The ability to meet both challenges will determine Indonesia capability of sustaining the continuity of “a
balance economic growth”.

The slow economic growth in countries of Indonesia market for agricultural products is anticipated to bring effects
to the export performance in the agricultural sector. The Ministry of Agriculture had estimated a surplus in the trade
balance 2012 agricultural products that was around US$16.7 billion or not very much different from that of 2011.
Indonesia does not need to wait for economic recovery in developed countries to support the development of
national palm oil industry. The government can make a variety of efforts to increase the absorption of Crude Palm Oil
(CPO) in domestic markets with much better prices to minimize CPO import. For example, the government can
encourage the production of biodiesel from 1.5 million to 2 million liters, encourage State Electricity Company (PLN) to
use fuels from CPO, or rejuvenate palm plantation by providing subsidies and revising CPO export tax. Since Malaysia
has taken similar actions, it would be more effective if both Indonesia and Malaysia work hand in hand.
The government stated that the products of the plantation subsector would still be the mainstay leading commodity
of the agricultural sector with a tendency of increasing trade surplus. The leading export commodities are CPO, latex,
tea, coffee, and cocoa, exported to China, the United States of America, a number of European countries, and India. In
2013, the export destination countries are believed to still experience slow economic growth. Even European countries
have not shown certain awakening from the global crisis, so that, import of agricultural products, particularly from the
plantation subsector, will not increase.

Most cargo ships in Indonesia were made in 1960 – 1970. The old cargo ships were the first generation and were
only able to carry 1,700 TEUs (twenty-foot equivalent units). Compare those ships with the cargo ships manufactured in
2006 to the present, which are the sixth generation, they have a loading capacity of 15,000 TEUs.
There is a sad fact about Tanjung Priok, the biggest port in Indonesia. The port can only accommodate cargo ships
with a capacity of 5,000 TEUs. Meanwhile, most foreign cargo ships coming to the port have a capacity more than 10,000
TEUs. That the reason why foreign cargo ships have to transfer the cargo in the Singapore Port first before coming to
Tanjung Priok Port. These factors have led to the construction of Kalibaru Port. Kalibaru Port will accommodate 10,000
TEUs of goods.
The construction of Kalibaru Port will accommodate a direct transfer of goods from overseas. The bigger the cargo
capacity of the ships, the more efficient they are as cargo ships. The Kalibaru Terminal Port will be build on 195 acres of
land, which will add 4.5 million TEUs of containers and 9.4 million cubic meters of oil and gas products.

Use Instruction A to answer questions number 76 .
76. Suppose x is the number of cargoships with a
capacity of 1,700 TEUs, y is the number of cargo
ships with a capacity of 5,000 TEUs and z is number
of cargo ships with a capacity of 10,000 TEUs,
which meets the following linear equation system:
78. The replacement of older cargo ships into cargo
ships with a larger capacity (cargo ships of the sixth
generation) and improvement of facilities of
Tanjung Priok Port will increase Indonesian exports
and national income.
BECAUSE

2x + y + z = 725 National income using expenditure approach is

calculated as the sum of all expenditures:
2y + z = 375 consumption investment, government, and net
exports.
3x − 2z = 600

Tanjung Priok Port has also been able to

The TP curve shows the correlation between the

output and the number of labors (other factors of
production are assumed to be constant).

The researchers studying data from 24 expedition ships that sailed around the world for six years revealed that there are
already 269,000 tons of plastic pollutants in the ocean. Assorted plastic pollutants such as shopping bags, bottles, bottle caps,
toys, pacifiers, toothbrushes, boots, buckets, umbrella handles, fishing poles, and even toilet seats have entered the ocean.
Research suggests 92% of the plastic arrives in the form of microplastic particles – which originate from larger objects
which breakdown due to sunlight and are torn or split into pieces by the waves, sharks, and other fish. In recent years the
experts have expressed their concern about how plastic pollutants kill many sea birds, marine mammals, and other creatures by
tarnishing marine ecosystems. Plastic goods such as fish nets have trapped and killed dolphins, sea turtles, and other animals.
The researchers say the plastic waste enters into the sea from rivers and densely populated coastal areas and shipping lanes.
Bigger plastic goods found in abundance along the shoreline often float into five subtropical strands of the world - a large
area of rotating currents in the North and South Pacific, North and South Atlantic, and Indian oceans. According to the data
based on expeditions to the five subtropical strands, coastal Australia, the Bay of Bengal, and the Mediterranean Sea, there is an
estimated 5.25 trillion particles of plastic waste.

 The Coordinating Minister for Maritime Affairs states that Indonesia’s ornamental fish have the potential to contribute as
much as 1.5 billion US dollars to the country. However, this has not been optimized, so that Indonesia as a maritime country is
not able to compete with Singapore and Spain.
Hence, the government has encouraged all stakeholders to take part in the development of ornamental fish, to be able to
have a competitive edge in export. Nevertheless, exporters are obliged to use certain flights to sell their goods overseas, such
as Garuda Indonesia, which set higher airfares than other airlines. Coordination with other ministries, such as the Ministry of
Transportation, is therefore necessary to overcome the problem.
Besides, the Coordinating Minister for Maritime Affairs has requested all the ministries to have ornamental fish in their
buildings. The Minister hopes that the Minister of Tourism also recommends that hotels have ornamental fish in aquariums, fish
ponds, etc., to decorate their hotels. As a result, the cultivation of freshwater and seawater ornamental fish can grow and the
business can be more fascinating.
Based on the data from the Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries, the export of ornamental fish has risen by 26% from the
previous year, while the export performance from 1996 to 2013 reached 62.46%.

 Gutaperca, a very rare plant in the world, has a high economic value. A cultivator of the plant, PTPN VIII Sukamaju,
Sukabumi, has exported the leaves to as far as European countries. The leaves of gutaperca are used as the main ingredient
of dental stuff, such as bones and artificial teeth, and golf balls. Therefore, a number of European manufacturies regularly place
a request on the leaves.
The price of a kilo of gutaperca leaves is quite high, up to 300 US dollars. This is resulted from the fact that the plant is difficult
to find and the good quality of processed leaves as a basic material used in the production of false teeth and bones, as well as golf
balls cannot yet be replaced by any other material.
Each month, PTPN VIII exports only 50–100 kg of gutaperca leaves because the production rate of the leaves is still very low,
and yielding the leaves too early, before the time to harvest, can harm the plant and reduce the production. PTPN VIII Sukamaju
cultivates gutaperca on a land of 282 hectares.
In addition, this plant has been used as an object of research and in education in that there have been a lot of domestic and
foreign researchers from different universities coming to conduct research on the plant that only grows in the Sukabumi Regency.
Although it actually originated from Brazil, but can no longer be found in that country.
