The gap in the coastal resources utilization on the North Coast in Serang Regency has the potential to cause conflict between coastal communities dealing with local governments and sea sand mining companies. This research focuses on how the communication practices of the conflicting parties and the typology of conflict, communication interactions in conflict relations and communication strategies in conflict solutions. The research used qualitative approach which was conducted through in-depth interview with informants purposively. The results of the research showed that the dominance of natural resources was the trigger for conflict in the utilization of coastal resources on the North Coast in Serang Regency. The ineffectiveness of government and company communication in managing conflict potentials made coastal communities perceived the sea sand mining activities negatively. Coastal communities fought for their interests in various forms namely demonstrations, anarchism, social conflict between layers and human rights violations. The most active community groups were fishermen because sea sand mining had caused technical problems with fishing and decrease in income. The conflicting parties communicated with each other openly, defensively and in confrontational way. The practice of communication in resolving conflicts ran less effectively because the government and the company did not involve conflicting parties through communication to resolve the conflict. The research findings are the basis of understanding to manage potential conflicts and its escalations through appropriate communication to reach consensus to realize convergence of interests.

This study focuses on the study of bioenergy development from the perspective of public policy organization communication. Based on the Sensemaking principle, the construction of public policy communications on bioenergy development is explored to anticipate the impact of the energy crisis. The success or failure of the policy is strongly influenced by the construction of communication in the development process of policy making involving many parties. In the constructivist perspective and phenomenological method, public policy communications on bioenergy development has the top-down communications format which is telling/monologic to the public so public suggestion beyond government structure is insignificant.The findings indicate that the most important party in bioenergy development is the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources as the regulator, the Ministry of Agriculture as the feedstock provider and the Ministry of Finance as a subsidy and fare determiner. External parties involved are having a role more as consumers and mediators relating to the process of suggestion searching. The material discussed is only the economic aspect to the exclusion of environmental aspects. The implications of such communications construction, the public does not have much role because the government is less paying attention to the acceptance level of society.

As a company engaged in the industrial sector by producing certain components and localized in an industrial area, there will be an impact on the environment. These impacts can be positive in the form of employment, reducing dependence on imported heavy equipment, increase in foreign exchange due to reduced imports and increased exports, increased government revenue from taxes, public facilities improvement and supporting infrastructure, and opening up opportunities for other related industries. These impacts can also be negative in the form of environmental degradation such as noise disturbance, dust, and micro climate change, and changes in social and cultural conditions surrounding the industry. Data analysis was performed descriptively and with the Structural Equation Model (SEM). SEM is a multivariate statistical technique which is a combination of factor analysis and regression analysis (correlation), which aims to test the connections between existing variables in a model, whether it is between the indicator with the construct, or the connections between constructs. SEM model consists of two parts, which is the latent variable model and the observed variable model. In contrast to ordinary regression linking the causality between the observed variables, it is also possible in SEM to identify the causality between latent variables. The results of SEM analysis showed that the developed model has a fairly high level of validity that is shown by the minimum fit chi-square value of 93.15 (P = 0.00029). Based on said model, it shows that the company's performance in waste management is largely determined by employee integrity and objectivity of the new employees followed later by the independence of the employees in waste management. The most important factor that determines the employee integrity in waste management in the model is honesty, individual wisdom, and a sense of responsibility. The most important factor in the employee objectivity in waste management is the support of accurate data in each report of waste management by the company and transparency on reports of the company's activity. While the factors that determine the employee independency is the company's interests, a sense of employee volunteering, and openness between the company and employees. Keywords : heavy equipment industry, management, environment, Structural Equation Model (SEM)

As a company engaged in the industrial sector by producing certain components and localized in an industrial area, there will be an impact on the environment. These impacts can be positive in the form of employment, reducing dependence on imported heavy equipment, increase in foreign exchange due to reduced imports and increased exports, increased government revenue from taxes, public facilities improvement and supporting infrastructure, and opening up opportunities for other related industries. These impacts can also be negative in the form of environmental degradation such as noise disturbance, dust, and micro climate change, and changes in social and cultural conditions surrounding the industry. This research was conducted to support increasing effectiveness and efficiency of corporate management, by determining alternative forms of managing the heavy industrial equipment components environment (PLIKAB)-based on participation and society partnerships. The determination of alternative uses analytical hierarchy process (AHP) with the help of the Criterium Decision Plus v3.04 software. These results indicate that according of experts, the environmental management of industrial waste heavy equipment components must consider the technological aspects of its management. This can be seen from the weighting of each element that indicates the technology element has the greatest weight, which is 0.456. Besides that, elements of human resources is also quite important (weight 0.289) as the manager and the supporting policies (0.140) as a boost to management regulations. Aspect Capital (0.075) and marketing (0.042) is currently not perceived as barriers. While the most influential actor in the management is the company (0.451), other stakeholders have enough role is the community (0.234). Jababeka (0.211) and cooperative business (0.104) has a smaller role in the management. The purpose element in relative management has a weight that is relatively balanced with elements of revenue (0.336) is the primary consideration in determining management strategies, although it should not ignore the aim of maintaining environmental quality (0.299), the purpose of minimizing conflict (0.194), and the purpose of increasing competitiveness (0.170). The best alternative for the management of industrial waste components of the heavy equipment is to form managers based on partnerships by different stock ownership (0.791). It is considered much better than by forming managers based on partnerships by the same stock (0.209). Key words : heavy equipment industry, management, environment, analitycal hierarchy process (AHP)

Street child problems, like iceberge phenomenon, of which the regional pockets, the distribution and the age tremendously increase day by day. Since 1997 the government of Indonesia through the Social Ministry has been carrying out efforts to overcome the problems, but up to now the efforts have not yielded the expected results because of the limited information of the problems. The present research was addressed to provide informations on the phenomenon profiles of street children and strategies for their elimination in Bandung, Bogor and Jakarta. Data were collected using structured interviews, focus group discussion and direct observation. The collected data were analysed using parametric and non-parametric statistics. Population were street children, 5-21 years of age. Sample in each region was consisted of 75 persons, 50 males and 25 famales, drawn using cluster random sampling technique, and 25 parents of the respondens as a cross check. The influence of family background on the street children behavior, direct or indirectly, was more obvious compared to that of environmental background. The latter was indirect through sociologic characteristics of the street children particularly on the non formal education. Strategy for elimination of the street children could be equally applied for the whole regions, except for its approach, which can use the TRIBINA, which means Human Building, Environmental Building and Efforts Building could be employed.

The aim of this research are: (1) to analyze the level of community participation on management of Togean Island National Park. (2) to analyze the factors that influence the community participation. (3) to analyze the correlation of the factors that influence the community participation, and (4) to formulate a strategy of extension to increase the effective of community participation on management of Togean Island National Park. The research was conducted in Togean Island National Park in Central Sulawesi on August to Septembre 2008 and March to April 2009. Five variables are used to measure the community participation by using Structural Equation Model (SEM) and LISEREL 8.30. Those variables are internal individu, extension process, exsternal factor, community capacity and community participation. The result of research shown that participation of community is on the low level. Extension procces and external factor have a significant effect on community capacity. Internal characteristic and community capacity have a significant effect on community participation The independent variables such as internal characteristic, extension process and external factor have significant correlation. The strategy that can be used to increase the community participation is to improve the process of extension by giving the opportunity to community for involving on management of Togean Island National Park. This strategy should be supported by government policy to apply consistently, the partnership approach on management of national park in the local level. Keywords: community participaton, capacity, national park and extension process.
