In the period of 17th century up to 18th century, pepper was one of the important commodities of Southeastern Kalimantan. Pepper was produced by Dayak tribes in rural areas of Southeastern Kalimantan, transported through the rivers and traded in Banjarmasin, which was the most important port in the region. Merchants from all around the globe visited Banjarmasin to trade for this commodity. This article aims to study the linkage of the pepper trade in Banjarmasin which involved pepper farmers in rural areas, Chinese and Banjar merchants as the middlemen, Sultan and court officials as the holders of privileges in pepper trade, and foreign traders (Chinese, Dutch, and the British) as the buyer of pepper in the port city of Banjarmasin. By discussing the role of each part of the link, the relationship between these parts can be seen clearly. The results of this study indicate that pepper farmers are the most disadvantaged party in this trade link, they hardly benefit from the growing trade of the pepper they produced. Meanwhile the middlemen, Sultan and court officials had enjoyed huge profits. The Sultan even used pepper as a political tool to gain the support of Dutch authorities (Dutch East-India Company) in dealing with their enemies. Another important link was the Chinese, Dutch and British merchants who competed for the pepper supplies. The Chinese traders who charged the pepper for a higher price had easier way to obtain the pepper supplies than the Dutch and British traders who were supported by their trading authorities.

In the midst of the disintegration threat facing the Indonesian nation, efforts are needed to continuously maintain diversity. For that, there is nothing wrong if we look at the life of people on the island that can care for and maintain diversity. The Differences in race, ethnicity, religion, and culture do not lead to divisiveness but instead strengthen social harmony. Using this historical approach, this article intends to analyze efforts to nurture diversity undertaken by nationals domiciled on the island, taking cases in two islands, the Natuna Islands, and the Karimunjawa Islands. Sociologically and culturally Indonesian society is indeed a plural society that has great potential for the emergence of conflict and division, if not based on multiculturalism. The people of Natuna and Karimunjawa who have diversity in ethnicity, religion, and culture are still able to maintain diversity and maintain Indonesianness, so that it can be an example for other citizens, especially those near the center of government with various facilities but less able to maintain and maintain diversity.

Some pieces of training had been held to improve the capabilities of the ikat weaver under dominated by modern equipment.

In a health crisis, social media is one of the primary means of disseminating and receiving information. Nevertheless, questions remain regarding what facilitates individual engagement in sharing or receiving information in the context of COVID-19, specifically for the Indonesian context. Analysis of a questionnaire survey among 255 from the random population of Indonesian showed that sharing information is predicted by gender and education. There was no significant relationship between social-demographic and receiving information. For psychosocial characteristics, personal risk perception predicted receiving information, while sharing information was predicted by societal risk perception. Societal risk perception and self-efficacy interacted with each other to predict the sharing of COVID-19-related information. One of the findings indicated a socio-cultural feature through which is considered to play an important role in personal and societal risk perception when sharing or expressing information. Given the benefits of social media communication during this pandemic, this study suggested that governments and policymakers should pay closer attention to a local community that is more effective in keeping everyone safe. Unfortunately, on another side, social media provides less information about narratives, storytelling, and empathy to maintain public trust.

This article aims to examine the factors and driving forces for Lasem City's spatial changes during 1970-1991. The changes were attributed to the New Order Government's policy regarding road infrastructure development to support the economy.

Based on research, the development agenda of the New Order era that failed to take into account the aspect of sustainability eroded the identity of the City of Lasem as a place teeming with cultural life.

This research aims to analyze vessel crew rotation during the COVID-19 pandemic at a national shipping company. Before the pandemic, vessel crew recruitment was carried out based on company procedures safely and on time. In contrast to when the COVID-19 pandemic swept the world, the vessel crew recruitment and rotation system significantly changed. Concerns about being infected with the deadly COVID-19 virus have made vessel crew rotations unpredictable and scheduled on time. Mapping and identification of vessel crew rotation variables dynamically using the causal loop diagram (CLD) technique. This model shows that the vessel crew rotation process requires handling, quick adjustments to the existing situation, and planning strategies on the vessel crew rotation during this pandemic. The CLD analysis results show that in systems thinking, vessel crew performance and company performance have the highest impact. The delay in implementing and handling the vessel crew rotation will affect the company's reputation.
