 PALAGAN GANTER
The Tale of Puputan War between Kediri-Tumapel
Ken Arok the Amurwabhumi The Spearhead of The Great War
A Folklore in Malang Raya Kediri and Surrounding Area

by Sentot Prihandani Sigito

Sentot Prihandani Sigito was born in a village on the slope of Wilis Mountain, Nganjuk
Regency 53 years ago. Completed education in Brawijaya University Law Faculty (1984),
followed by Law Postgraduate Program in University of Indonesia (1993). His affection for
Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) especially traditional-based IPR escort him to pursue
folklore. Scattered folklore in every community's life corner have not yet been sought for
their Intellectual Property protection. Palagan Ganter is one of the answer of the writer's
anxiety for the languish fate of folklore all these times. There goes saying, raising folklore
to be a literature will not succeed without direct interaction with folklore and literature
itself. That spirit is the one that put the writer on their heart and soul.

The writer realizes how hard is the effort to raise folklore in the amidst the strong tides of
cultural changes whose trend is on desire satisfaction and mundane sumptuousness as
new ideology. Probably one of the obstacles all this time is caused by, first : poor packaging
and poor presentation to the public as interesting and educating pieces. The packaging
usually still impressing folklore as an inferior traditional cultural arts. Thus makes its
appreciation and growth is in between life and death. Secondly, probably the party who
presents it have less spirit to make him/herself be as one with the folklore itself.

Departing from such thinking, the writer changes the approach in presenting folklore. No
longer limited to cognitive level like any other folklore (book) but more to the usage of
intellectual skills and emotional maturity (confidence) (see Mudjianto, 2000 in Belajar
dalam Wacana Bersastra). This last approach method is what makes the writer in one
heart and soul with the folklore itself. Eventually, Palagan Ganter is expected to be the
battleground of literature learning which gives the transparent, smart, and open nuances
in meeting the readers imagination. Through this Palagan Ganter actually readers are
challenged to enter the battleground inside of themselves. The choice is to win the
struggle or slumped in failure. All depend on the reader's own wisdom.
 ZIS (Zakt, Infaq, and Shodaqoh) for Welfare
by Multifiah

This book is written based on the fact that Indonesians are moslem in majority, thus the
rich people (muzakki) and the poor people (mustahik) dominated by moslem. In Islamic
thoughts, the rich have the responsibility to help the poor. This thought is the discussion's
result between the writer and her father Affan Rasyid who is very concerned of the nation
condition lately. Based on that discuccion and thought writer want to find out how big is
the responsibility of muzakki and Baitul Maal to the mustahik and what aspects covered in
that.

Through the literary studies, the data of poor people in Indonesia is sought in general.
What program has been carried out and how big the fund that has been collected by Amil
foundations or Baitul Maal either nationally and in Malang area in particular, and how big
is the portion for poverty countermeasures? To comprehend the study, related Al
Qur'annul Karim verses, Al Hadist, also general theories about poverty and welfare are
sought, including the measurement and the countermeasure methods.

Even though there are many researches about ZIS have been done, the researched aspects
mostly from the side of muzakki and Amil foundation, while mustahik aspect is rare. This is
understandable because muzakki and Amil foundation aspect related to obligation, while
mustahik aspect related to right. Because of the research about mustahik is still limited,
there is very little empirical reference that can be used for the basis of the research.
Eventually, although it is small and far from perfection, hopefully this book still brings
benefit. Aamiin ya Rabbal alamin.
 CLEAN WATER POLICY
by Imam Hanafi

The state authority intervention through the public policy is important for the equity of
distribution and optimal utilization of water resources. However, government as the state's
representation can failed in carrying out.

This research analyses clean water privatization policy and creates clean water
privatization policy model in Batu, East Java. This research follows naturalistic paradigm
that emphasizes on the qualitative approach through the grounded research. Model
making method based on the way of thinking of cognitive policy system and making using
Powersim Constructor software.

The research indicated that clean water privatization policy in Batu cannot be included in
English or France type. Private and public corporation dominate/get quite big of the water
resources management allocation while the local government does not get significant
income. Unlike the HIPPAM/PAM, local government free the corporation charge thus the
amount can be counted as subvention or loss in water resources management.
Privatization also explains the water crisis among the big water resources availability.

Clean water privatization policy model made consist of three sub model : 1) demographic
model of clean water necessity and availability, 2) clean water management and
privatization allocation model, 3) clean water exploitation model. The 1st model follows
the structure of positive feedback. Demographic model follows the acceleration structure;
clean water availability model follows the degradation structure. The model shows that
population growth is the dominant variable on the domestic clean water necessity growth.
Demographic intervention is crucial. Land use caused the catchment area and recharge
area degradation, thus lead to the water supply reduction. The 2nd model indicates that
clean water availability exceeds the total domestic needs. Structural intervention of the
public or private (corporation) management policy scenario shows the difference of
necessity compliance and income from clean water. The 3rd model indicates the in
common difficulty model.

Model can guide the policy of water resources limitation, exploitation, and consumption
management to open the ways of equity, better service, competition, prioritizing public
interest and preventing private domination. Local government control of allocation
(amount, quality, duration), management, cost, and water retribution are the
preconditions to assure there is sufficient regional income while the private obtain profit.
Government's regulation and control in clean water privatization intend to ascertain the
long-term advantage and disadvantage elimination. The recommended model are: 1)
limited privatization (municipal corporation and management contract), 2) self-
management.
 PARTNERSHIP MODEL OF POVERTY COUNTERMEASURES
AND LOCAL AGREEMENT
Social, Environmental, and Religious Approach

by Sahri Muhammad

This book contains modul for community empowerment's activities with the social,
environmental, and religious partnership approach. The content of the modul based on the
research result of Brawijaya University's Hibah Pascasarjana 2005-2008 and Hibah
Strategis Nasional 2009-2010 supported by DP3M funding, Direktorat Jenderal Pendidikan
Tinggi, Departemen Pendidikan Nasional.

Community empowerment is the awareness process for the culture changes as well as the
community's productive behavior. The awareness process needs the approach of life's
multiaspect and multi-year community learning participatory to grow the poor's self effort
continuously.

In this book, Seven Steps of Practical Guide for the poor's capacity strengthening is
presented, where each step is provided with Activity Module, subject, and policy referrals
or resuscitation steps for the parties of empowerement supervisors, government, or social
foundation. The Activity Module is still needed to be translated to comon language.
Based on the empowerement agenda, the group guidance stages are set in three levels
based on the Friedman's Theory of Empowerment (1987) and,

10. And shown him (human) the two ways (good and evil)?
11. But he(human) has made no effort (with fund/property) to pass on the path that is
steep.
12. And what will make you(the community empowerement supervisors) know the path
that is steep?
13. (It is) Freeing a neck (slave, etc.) (public responsibility)
14. Or giving food (for the poor) in a day of hunger (famine) (or big disaster), (public
responsibility)
15. To an orphan near of kin. (kinship responsibility)
16. Or to a Miskin (poor) afflicted with misery. (public responsibility)
17. Then he became one of those who believed, and recommended one another to
perseverance and patience, and (also) recommended one another to pity and compassion.

 DEMOCRACY AND LOCAL POLITIC IN SANTRI TOWN
by Hilmy Mochtar

Reformation in politics post the fall of Orde Baru regime in Indonesia running very fast.
This sector's reformation acceleration in national scope is marked by the direct president
election held at the same time with the legislation member election (DPR); whereas in the
local scope marked by regional chief (Governor, Regent, Mayor) election directly by the
people in each respectful area.

Those public official recruitment process either in the national and local level on one hand
become the notable sign of how the role of particular political power that is supported
fully by military and bureaucracy now has been shifted to the more plural political parties.
On the other hand, government, particularly in local level, enjoys the relatively wide
autonomy to manage its own regional household where the political power conductor in
this transitional era is a precious lesson for the political actors (political party), Election
Committee (KPUD), and other institutes related to this democracy event.

The embodiment of democracy and politics on the local level by all means cannot apart
from the evolving social, economic, and demographic environment's influence. In other
words, political reformation can be carried out because of the push from the changes of
many others life aspects aside from politics, such as sociological, religiosity, cultural,
economical, geographical, and any other aspects.

It is a fact that reformation euphoria now has spread to all social classes, thus political
sphere is no longer something rare and taboo for each individual citizen, but it is already
an important part of everyday life, and it is legitimate for everyone to conduct their own
political right. So it is not surprising if there are a lot of associations, organizations, social
circles, and so on emerge responding to the public policies created by political institution
and government that are not corresponding with the public wishes and concerns.
Moreover, in particular cases when people's aspirations are detained, the emerged
responses tend to be violent and anarchic.

In term of Hermeneutic, social changes will imply to the political dynamics or the other
way around. On the other way around, political changes will create social dynamics. Power
construction that originally supported by the hegemonic system between patron-client in
the relationship between central-regional with the dependency, partiality, and indifference
principles now has changed where power is in the hands of people in its true meaning
based on the independency, rights equality, and concern principles. Yet, is this progress has
running ideally? How is the changes going on? Then, who is taking advantage from the
existence of the changes itself? This bunch of articles will not pretend to answer all those
questions, at least we can learn from the experience of community which was initially
considered traditional, passive, and static; then became a community that is relatively
dynamic, active, and moving towards the better life direction.

 MYCOLOGY
The Science of Fungus

by Ika Rochjatun Sastrahidayat

In some literatures fungus is still included in the plants kingdom, namely Thallophyta, but
actually it does not have chlorophyl, so in order to live it needs organic source. Its cell wall
mostly contains chitin, which formed by the connecting structure of N-acetylglocosamina
molecules. The latest development as conveyed by Alexopoulos and Mims (1979) it is given
its own kingdom thus separated from the world of plants under the name of Myceteae.
The term of "Fungi" used in two different meanings, the first is for the true fungi
(Eumcyetes) and the second is for the addition of bacterium and slime molds (Mycetotozoa
and Acrasiales). However, now bacterium has set apart from fungi, while slime molds is still
belong to the fungi world. The term of "mushroom" mostly known from many literatures
also belong to the fungi world, only that it is more appropriate if used for the fungi group
that grow the visible fruiting body (usually from the class Basidiomycetes), thus matched
the common saying, bak cendawan di musim hujan (literally "like mushroom in rainy
season").
 DECENTRALIZATIONS
A New Paradigm in Local Government
and the Relationship between Local Authorities

by Tjahjanulin Domai

The style of this book is more qualitative than quantitative, although sometimes symbols
and numbers are used to illustrate the argument which have been submitted and proven.
In finance, most of us do not know and cannot prove if one decision is better than the
others. We can always refer to relevant opinions, and sometimes we can make certain
recommendation.

If the high debt are increasing it means that debt expense become higher. We can illustrate
the main stock publication consequences rather than adding the debt. It is hard to prove
that publishing the main stock is more necessary than adding more debt. When there are
more simplification, it will be harder to take the right decision. The conclusion is the bigger
the investment cost that is given to the market that grow slower. But, the decision which is
more intuitive may become totally wrong if the significance opinions are loosen or ignored.

Strategic decisions are important and dynamic. They are very important to be left behind
or ignored on the excessive's generalizations of simplification. This book can be used as a
guide to improve finances' work and profit by managers or other users, also by the
academics to learn deeper in understanding company finances' strategy dynamicization.
The thoughts of strategic finances is important to be developed mainly in confront the
market which is also very dynamic. Moreover, year of 2012 is marked with the realization
of AFTA, means that there so many open and free competitions although in another side
promising to open the chances of cooperation and the market become wider and
flourishing. This is better to be seen as opportunity rather than a threat.
 SOCIAL STRUCTURE DYNAMICS IN COASTAL ECOSYSTEM
by Edi Susilo

Indonesian fishermen community in general is in the early stage of development in the

scope of sociocultural evolution. Sukadana (1983) expressed that anthroposphere changes
in human life is consist of six stages, starting from : food gather, hunting and fishing,
pastoral nomad, agriculture, industry, and lastly, urban. Koentjaraningrat (1985) also use
this evolution approach, which started with : gathering, fishery, and then agriculture (from
cultivation to settled agriculture). Thereby, evolutionary perspective is still relevant to be
used as the basis to understand fishermen community dynamics, moreover in fishermen
community which is attached to habitat.

The development of nowadays community which is in the information era, of course will
interact with the social environment intensively. This gives the theoretical consequence
that analysis with modern sociology theory approach become relevant to be used for
analyzing the community dynamics. Theoritcal synthesis between anthropologists who use
evolutionary approach and the modern sociologists whose one of their knowledge space is
in structural dimension, is an effort to add more sufficient analysis tools to explain the
community development in this century, also if possible to predict the social change in the
future. And so, considering that the fishermen community in living their lives is still relying
on the habitat condition, thus combining the ecosystem approach will make the analysis to
be more contextual.

 LOCAL GOVERNMENT SUPERVISION LAW DECONSTRUCTION
by Jazim Hamidi and Mustafa Lutfi

The discourses of bureaucracy reformation-restructurization, constitutional supremacy

continually rolled non stop in the middle of public trust's drought to the government
apparatus which judged as less reliable, conceited, and too ambitious, more extremely if
dubbed as The Republic of Lies, The Country of Thief or The Dreamer's Country. Those
various nicknames of course not only come out of the mouth of those who infuriated with
the current situation and condition, but also because seeing the series of fact that
occurred : the weak supervision system and there are too much incompetence apparatus
in managing, running, and serving people the true mandate grantor.

This is proved with the chaos everywhere, not only from the supervision and evaluation
aspect which is the ringleader, but what is more dangerous is the moral defect and belief
deficiency so that many heart-wounding tragedies. Many theories and conceptions always
be the main topic of debate in the circles of elites, academics, and practitioners as the
argumentation to reconstruct and give the alternative solution or even just a courtesy
resolution. The question is there are any significant correlation between the designated
theory to build the system without the moral force action basis will be working well or in
reverse, will be castrated and slowly dead?

This book is not only persuading to contemplate about the essence of the country, but also
criticize various discourses about how weak the supervision is, as well as deconstruct and
provide alternative solution with various philosophical approach models. Hence, this book
entitled Local Government Supervision Law Deconstruction : The Turning Point of Local
Autonomy is important and a must-read for students, academics, intellectuals,
practitioners, politicians, police, kiai, santri, and even for those who like to hide behind
bureaucracy incompetency costume so it is needed to recognize the meaning's depth
presented as reference. Happy reading and criticizing!
SOCIAL CAPITAL AND REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT
The Study of Bali Development Success Story

by Nyoman Utari Viprayanti

One of Orde Baru's failure indication is the incapability to suppress economic gaps such as
relative gap, city-village income gap, and regional income gap. Absolute poverty indeed is
resolved until the number of the poor tends to decline however income distribution gap is
still constant (World Bank Data in Thee, 2004). Some of the areas in Indonesia that have
natural resources abundance like Province of Riau, Jambi, South Sumatera, East
Kalimantan, and Papua (natural resources-rich areas) indeed capable to reach the high
economical growth indicators, such as per capita income, gross domestic regional product,
and regional revenue. Even so, it is also followed by relatively low development indicators
such as high poverty index and low human development index (BPS, Bappenas, and UNDP,
2011). On the contrary, some areas with low natural resources have higher development
indicators (low poverty index and high human development index).

Relative gap, city-village income gap, as well as regional income gap between regency/city
is not only happened in provinces with low development indicator (under development)
but also in provinces with high development indicator and relatively high growth, for
example Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta and Bali Province (consecutively on 3rd and 2nd in
human development index, a level under DKI Jakarta in 2002). Some regencies in those
provinces progressing very rapidly while the others have slow growth rate. As expressed by
Gonarsyah (1977) the relationship between city and village area economy have not in
balance yet, tend to prospering city area.

There are some provinces in Indonesia which are capable to achieve high success in
implementing development programs and economical growth, one of them is Bali Province
(Mubyarto, 2001). Bali is known worldwide not only for its tourism sector but also for its
traditional organization like subak and pekraman village. Development program in Bali
Province always associated with the social, religious, and cultural life of the existing
community, makes the community participation high in every activity. Each regions
progress in different levels, yet local standards generally are still last especially the
traditional village rights in managing resources with common pool resource characteristic
such as banjar, subak, beach tourism attraction, and cultural tourism attraction. Aside from
those traditional institutional, economic structure transformation from agriculture sector
to tourism sector also cause to emerge various modern institutional. However, Bali
economical growth which is one of the success story in Indonesia, even in the world,
actually is not missed from inter-region imbalance problem (Sukardika, 2004).

 LAW DEVELOPMENT BASED OF SCIENCE RELIGIOUSITY
WITH PROPHETIC APPROACH
Editors: Aries Harianto, M. Rifkynizamy K., Vieta Imelda Cornelis, R. Diah Imaningrum, Isye Junita Melo

Testimonies
I warmly welcome and highly appreciate the alternative idea in the development of law based on
science religiosity presented by Law doctoral program students of Brawijaya University. Why?
Because the progress of law nowadays aside from the fact that it has many directions or izms that
are searching for its shape, this alternative idea is quite paradigmatic as well as strategic. To find
out more, please read this book's substances carefully. Hopefully there is any advantage we can
achieve.
- Prof. Dr. Sudarsono, SH., MS (Chief of Brawijaya University's Law Faculty Doctoral Program)

Science religiousity's paradigm is not a science Islamization, neither is a science christianization, a

science hinduism, science buddhism, or even a science confucianism. Thus, the intention of law
development with the new paradigm focuses on the universal value of civilization such as equity,
togetherness, tolerance, and courtesy. While the prophetic approach is an approach that
accentuate good example.
- Dr. Jazim Hamidi, S.H., M.H. (UB Press Director and General Secretary of Pusat Studi
peradaban Nusantara)

Science development based on science religiosity with the prophetic approach indeed is not
something very brand new, especially in educational science/tarbiyah, theological
science/ushuluddin, as well as philosophical science. However, in law, this paradigm is sure
relatively new and appropriate to be supported. This paradigm's essence lies on the law
development substance guided by divine revelation or religion's universality values or by national
noble values on one side. On the other side, law enforcement and justice surely should be based
on good example or work ethics with the heartily service to all of the human beings.
- Prof. Dr. Thohir Luth, S.H., M.A. (Professor of Religious Philosophy Brawijaya University)

The academical work of Brawijaya University's Law Doctoral Program students is worth to be
appreciated as a form of law development commitment and consistency. Substantially, this book
will give plus value as the reference to build the law normative character by accommodating
religiosity values oriented on the function and purpose of law. Thus, this book is a proper reading
for law student, legislators, and the wider community.
- Prof. Dr. Herawati Posoko, S.H., M.H. (Professor of Jember University's Law Faculty)

This book is the authentic proof that law science development paradigm based on science
religiosity is a sine conditio quanon, because the function and purpose of law nowadays is getting
more and more shallow in its meaning. I expect this book doesn't stop only as ideas and
discussion object, but rather to be a study agenda that is decent enough to be followed up with
the hope that it will be the essence of law development design in many universities in Indonesia.
- Dr. Widodo Ekatjahjana, S.H., M.Hum (Director of Constitutional Court Procedural Law
Lecturer)
 TOWARDS A SUSTAINABLE TECHNOLOGY
Global Challenges and Local Responses in Africa and Asia
55 Years after The Bandung Asian-African Conference 1955

Editors : Darwis Khudori and Yukio Kamino

55 years after the 1955 Bandung Asian-African Conference and 20 years after the end of the Cold
War, in the context of Globalization, the world is still characterized by wars, domination by the
powerful, exploitation of the weak. In addition, Globalization has posed two challenges for the
sustainability of our planet : the degradation of Environment and the growth of Cities. People
cannot escape from these two global challenges, but face them in their own localities. The
actors for a sustainable future are therefore supposed to answer the Global Challenges with
Local Responses.

The responses from Africa and Asia deserve special attention. On the one hand, despite the
continuous process of globalization following the expansion of capitalism, colonialism and
imperialism started from Europe, Africa and Asia have not been uprooted by Western
Civilization and are therefore thought to be the source and pool of bio- and cultural diversity
needed for the sustainability of our planet.

On the other hand, Africa and Asia are particularly affected by the degradation of Environment
and the growth of Cities. The planet is in the midst of a 6th great extinction of life forms
faster than the previous ones and the climate change largely provoked by the developed North
will be especially harmful to the developing South. As for Citification, the urban population
worldwide grew over 10-fold during the 20th century alone, and UN has projected in 2012 that
Africa and Asia together will account for 86 per cent of all growth in the world's urban population
over the next four decades.

So, what are the Local Responses from Africa and Asia to theseGlobal Challenges?

29 authors from 16 countries of Africa, Asia, America and Europe try to answer the question.
