Executive Summary

This report provides a rapid district readiness assessment (RDRA) of the capacity, commitment, and

investment opportunities of West Sumbawa District, West Nusa Tenggara, to support

environmentally sustainable and low-carbon economic growth through the MCA-Indonesia Green

Prosperity Program (GPP). This assessment included a field visit from December 1 to 4, 2015.

The objectives of this rapid assessment were to assess the level of readiness of West Sumbawa

District for GPP activities, and specifically examined: political conditions, institutional capacity,

regulatory frameworks, social and gender analysis, and required conditions under the Millennium

Challenge Compact. Additionally, the Rapid DRA assesses readiness for Participatory Land Use

Planning (PLUP) and overview of the renewable energy sector. The result of this assessment is used

as a prerequisite for signing of MoUs with MCA-Indonesia for Partnership Grant under Window 1B.

West Sumbawa District consists of 16 small islands, with elevations ranging from 0 to 1,730 m above

sea level. Approximately half (50%) of the district area consists of steep topography with gradients

of more than 40%. The remaining areas consist of 12% flatlands, 9% undulating terrain, and 29%

steep terrain. Approximately 73% of the district is a national forest area. Limited production forest

HPT covers 36,155 ha, or 20% of district area; permanent production forest covers 18,753 ha, or

10% of district area; while the remaining 43% consists of protected forest including Jereweh Nature

Reserve. West Sumbawa has two seasons (dry and wet), with average days of rain in 2013 were in

range from 8.00 to 15.67 days with precipitation that ranged from 0 to 802 mm/month (averaged

126.33 mm to 218.2 mm per month in Poto Tano and Seteluk sub-districts respectively). The highest

rainfall is observed in December that reach 802 mm. Long exposure to sunlight in 2013 reached

77.5% with an average wind speed of 5.1 knots.

The population of West Sumbawa is 129,724, consisting of 65,727 men and 63,997 women resulting

in a male: female ratio of 103:100. The population grew by 2.83% from 2012 to 2014. Population

density averages 72 people per km2 with the highest population density of 144 people per km2

recorded in Maluk Sub-District. The lowest population density of 25 people per km2 is recorded in

Sekongkang Sub-district.

Economic performance of West Sumbawa District is based on records of GDP in the district from

2009 to 2013. The data show that the economic performance of West Sumbawa has improved, as

indicated by an increase in gross domestic product (GDP). Based on a constant price set in 2010, GDP

in West Sumbawa fluctuated from IDR 14.7 trillion in 2011, IDR 10.8 trillion in 2012, IDR 11.2

trillion in 2013, to IDR 11.2 trillion in 2014. The calculated average annual GDP increase from 2012

to 2014 is 6.3%, which is higher than the overall West Nusa Tenggara provincial average of 5.8%

annual GDP increase. West Sumbawa District relies on mining and quarrying as a main source of

revenue.

West Sumbawa District has implemented several programs and activities that can be linked with the

district’s commitment to the provincial strategy. The use of photovoltaic (solar panel) units in Rarak

Ronges Village in Brang Rea Sub-district, as well as the setup of a large-scale biogas digester in

Senayan, Poto Tano Sub-district, indicates a degree of alignment with provincial commitments to

reduce greenhouse gas emissions through the use of renewable energy sources.

West Sumbawa has promising renewable natural resources to support sustainable development.

Potential renewable natural resources in West Sumbawa that may be important to the GPP are

renewable energy (solar panels in Brang Rea Sub-district, hydropower resources ranging from

micro-hydro to mini-hydro power generators in Rarak Ronges Village, Brang Rea Sub-district) and

Page 6: MILLENNIUM CHALLENGE ACCOUNT-INDONESIA GREEN PROSPERITY ...€¦ · Mining (mainly by PT Newmont Nusa Tenggara) currently contributes a large portion to the economy of West Sumbawa

Executive Summary

v

biofuel from Jatropha curcas (88 tons per year, or equal to a maximum production of 47,000 liters of

oil per year). Natural resource management scenarios also include: management of water springs

under the Towards Green Indonesia (Menuju Indonesia Hijau/MIH) program, sustainable coastal

resource management and conservation of small islands in Gili Balu, and Forest Management Unit

(KPH) Brang Rea.

Mining (mainly by PT Newmont Nusa Tenggara) currently contributes a large portion to the

economy of West Sumbawa District with 79.5% GDP contribution. PT Newmont Nusa Tenggara

(PTNNT) was assigned a contract of work area in 1986 to explore and exploit copper in Batu Hijau

area, and began operations in March, 2000. PTNNT planned to ramp down production in 2014 due

to a delay in securing an export permit. In 2015, the export permit was secured with a commitment

to export processed materials (rather than the raw ore) in collaboration with a smelter plant in

Gresik, East Java Province. Based on GDP contributions from 2010 to 2014, a contribution from the

mining and excavation sector to the district economy indicates a decreasing trend.

West Sumbawa District has a valid spatial plan that has been legalized by a local regulation. District

spatial plan of West Sumbawa is legally enforceable by Perda of West Sumbawa District No. 2/2012.

Within the district spatial plan, the vision of West Sumbawa District is to focus on agro-industry,

agro-business, agriculture, fishery, and tourism potentials. The district spatial plan also emphasizes

sustainable land-use, support for economic growth, conservation, and strategic defenses.

Recommendations for West Sumbawa District include advising district government on the

significance of participatory mapping (Task #1), updating the geospatial data (Task #2), and

concurrently providing capacity building and training for mapping personnel in Bappeda (Task #4).

Therefore, the complete PLUP package is recommended for West Sumbawa District.

West Sumbawa District possesses 46 tourism destinations consisting of 34 natural and 12 man-

made (artificial) locations. The Bureau of Statistics indicates that the Sekongkang, Jereweh, Maluk,

and Taliwang sub-districts are the main locations for tourist visitation. Visitors in 2014 consisted of

14,480 (80%) domestic and 3,537 (20%) international visitors. International visitors increased by

113% from 1,659 to 3,537 visitors in 2011 and 2014, respectively.

Poto Tano District is known as the gateway to Sumbawa Island, because it has a ferry port located in

Poto Tano Village. This port is the main connector between Sumbawa and the provincial capital in

Sumbawa islands. The livelihood of the local people is mainly fishing (coastal-based), with some sisal

(Agave sisalana) and cattle farming practices. Sub-district officials have provided recommendations

for PT ESL and PT NOP in relation to the licensing process for these tourism companies. Poto Tano

Village consists of three hamlets (dusuns): Pinamin, Poto Tano A, and Poto Tano B. The livelihood of

residents in Poto Tano Village is mainly fishing (mackerels and squids with some molluscs, sharks

and rays) with indications of dry-land agriculture (ladang) practices on 380 ha of the village area.

Tourism is not yet developed in the area, and transportation to the islands is arranged through

individual boat owners in the village.

West Sumbawa scored 50 out of the possible maximum 66 points. This is a moderate score (75%)

and indicates some degree of commitment and readiness of West Sumbawa to receive GPP

investment. Aspects that received a minimum score of 1 were found in the regulatory aspects due to

an absence of recognition of customary laws, the lack of incentive mechanisms for green investment,

and a lack of payment of environmental service scenarios. West Sumbawa also scored low (1) on the

PLUP assessment due to the need for participatory mapping, geospatial data updating, and training.

The West Sumbawa District development plan for optimizing nature tourism is consistent with local

resources available in the district landscape. With 73% of the district area as forest, and the

potential of coastal tourism along the west coast and small islands of West Sumbawa, the district

offers potential for nature-based tourism development. It is worth noting that, based on the GDP

Executive Summary

vi

projection; potential sectors that can boost the local economy in West Sumbawa District consist of

agriculture, forestry, and fisheries. From an environmental services perspective, the landscape of

West Sumbawa District consists of protected forests (Forest Management Unit/KPHL Brang Rea)

that are crucial in providing water for agriculture practices and the daily needs of residents in West

Sumbawa District.

Section 1 Introduction

1.1 Background MCA-Indonesia, under the Green Prosperity Project (GPP), has selected 12 districts to be assessed

using Rapid District Readiness Assessments (DRA) for project investments in regards to Renewable

Energy (window 3B). Prior to proceeding with the GPP, selected districts must be assessed to

determine which districts have the greatest readiness to host GPP activities, based on criteria set by

MCA-Indonesia that include appropriate capacity, commitment, and investment opportunities to

support environmentally sustainable and low-carbon economic growth. DRAs are intended to ensure

that targeted districts can effectively support GPP activities, and to prioritize these districts for

signing of Memoranda of Understanding (MOU) with MCA-Indonesia. The Rapid DRAs are

undertaken by the Project Management Consultant (PMC) supporting MCA-Indonesia. This report

represents the results of a Rapid DRA undertaken for the GPP by PMC, in West Sumbawa District,

West Nusa Tenggara Province.

1.2 Objectives Objectives of this Rapid DRA were to:

Assess the level of district readiness related to: political conditions, institutional capacity,

regulatory frameworks, social and gender analysis, and conformance with Millennium Challenge

Compact conditions;

Identify and assess critical issues at the district level;

Compile relevant secondary data;

Support MCA-Indonesia in prioritizing pre-selected districts for MOU signing and partnership

(Window 1B) agreement;

Assess investment opportunities within the district for environmentally sustainable and low-

carbon economic growth; and

Address social and gender issues in relation to GPP specifications.

Section 2 Methodology

2-1

Section 2 Methodology

Rapid District Readiness Assessment (DRA) consists of three major components of secondary data

collection: (1) Readiness Analysis (using the same matrix used in previous rapid DRAs) combined

with geospatial and spatial plan analyses; (2) Strategic Environmental Assessment; and (3)

stakeholder mapping and analysis based on renewable energy resources within each respective

district. This rapid DRA also includes an assessment of perception and preferences of local

government stakeholders towards a renewable energy scenario in West Sumbawa District.

Secondary data collection focuses on compiling documents such as the long-term and medium-term

development plans, West Sumbawa District statistics, Strategic plans from relevant district

government agencies, the Regional strategy, the Strategic Environmental Assessment, and the

regional strategy for reducing greenhouse gas (RAD-GRK). In addition to these documents, a spatial

plan map (preferably in .shp file format) is collected and compiled to improve our understanding of

each district from a spatial planning perspective. The emphasis of the spatial plan data is to

understand the context of land designation, forest cover, and natural resources. Whenever possible,

the spatial plan data should also include data on moratorium and indigenous land ownership to

allow more comprehensive analyses of relevant context in each district.

Collection of Secondary data for West Sumbawa District consisted of:

– West Sumbawa District Spatial Planning 2010-2030;

– Strategic Plan (RENSTRA) and Report of Performance (LAKIP) for West Sumbawa District;

– Medium Term Plan (RPJMD) 2011-2015;

– Long Term Plan (RPJP) 2006-2025;

– District Regulations (PERDA) relevant with Spatial Plans, environmental and social

safeguards; and

– West Sumbawa District Statistics 2015.

Field visit and interviews. A field visit to West Sumbawa District was conducted by the PMC

team on October 1 and 2, 2015, to better understand the local context for future GPP investment.

Target areas visited included: the general landscape of West Sumbawa, and overall conditions in

West Sumbawa including infrastructure and land uses. The PMC team met and conducted

interviews with the following District offices:

– Bappeda (District Planning and Development Board);

– Bappeda Secretary;

– Infrastructure Sub-Division, Bappeda;

– Energy and Mining Agency;

– Division for Women Empowerment (under the Bureau of Family Planning and Women

Empowerment);

– Bureau of Tourism;

– Bureau of Marine Affairs and Small Islands; and

– Farmer’s foundation (Yayasan Serikat Tani Pembangunan/YSTP).

Maps of West Sumbawa District are presented in Appendix A. Photographs taken during the field

visit appear in Appendix B. A Summary of meetings with the above organizations is presented in

Appendix C.

Data analysis. Descriptive analyses were conducted following the terms of reference provided

by MCA-Indonesia, and focused on components of: political analysis, institutional analysis,

participatory land use planning, regulatory analysis, social conditions and gender, and compact

requirements. A description of each component is provided in the matrix presented in this

report (Section 4.0). Additionally, analyses on conditions of renewable energy and conditions to

support Public Land Use Planning are also provided and based on interviews and secondary

data.

GIS Analysis. Additionally, the readiness assessment includes GIS analyses such as:

– Land-cover analysis to identify critical land and forest cover to support a geospatial analysis

of the existing spatial plan. Land-cover analysis employs a comparison of cover percentages

among land-cover classes; and

– Identification of natural resources, stakeholders, and institutions related to natural

resources (resource-based stakeholder mapping). Indigenous land ownership issues may be

identified using this approach.

When applicable, these geospatial parameters are linked to the district spatial plan, strategic

environmental assessment (SEA), and RAD-GRK to assess the context of district planning and

achievements in relation to the targets. The spatial plan data is a document that has been

validated and enforced by the Bupati through a PERDA (District regulation).

Section 3 General Description of The District

3-1

Section 3 General Description of the District

3.1 Location and Accessibility West Sumbawa District was established through Law No. 30/2003 regarding the establishment of

West Sumbawa as a separate district from Greater Sumbawa District. This law marked the changes

of governance from the parent district into West Sumbawa District autonomy. Taliwang City was

established as the official capital of West Sumbawa District. The district capital is also known as

Kemutar Telu Center (KTC), and is where the government offices are located. West Sumbawa

consists of 16 small islands with elevations ranging between 0 to 1,730 m above sea level.

Approximately half (50%) of the district area consists of steep topography with gradients of more

than 40%. The remaining areas consist of 12% flatlands, 9% undulating terrain, and 29% steep

terrain.

Bureau of Statistics (2013) states that the total area of West Sumbawa District is 184,902 ha. Based

on specifications provided in the district’s spatial plan (Perda No. 2/2012), approximately 73% of

the district is a national forest area. Limited production forest HPT covers 36,155 ha, or 20% of

district area; permanent production forest covers 18,753 ha, or 10% of district area; while the

remaining 43% consists of protected forest including Jereweh Nature Reserve. West Sumbawa has

two seasons (dry and wet), with average days of rain ranging from 8.00 to 15.67 days per year. In

2014, precipitation ranged from 0 to 802 mm/month (average of 126.33 mm to 218.2 mm per

month in Poto Tano and Seteluk sub-districts respectively). The highest rainfall is observed in

December that reaches 802 mm in Seteluk Sub-district. Exposure to sunlight in 2013 reached 77.5%

of daylight hours, with an average wind speed of 5.1 knots.

West Sumbawa District is located approximately 150 km east of Mataram, the West Nusa Tenggara

Province capital, and can be accessed by road and sea (ferry). The gateway to West Sumbawa is the

Poto Tano ferry port that connects Kayangan Port in Sumbawa Island (where the provincial capital is

located). This port is crucial to the economy of West Sumbawa District, because it facilitates

transportation of people and goods across the islands. There are road networks and public

transportation services consisting of Damri (State-owned Transportation Company) buses that

commute between Taliwang (capital city of West Sumbawa District) and Mataram. Road conditions

in West Sumbawa are generally good, indicating that most areas in West Sumbawa District are

accessible by asphalt road. Road access in West Sumbawa District is crucial for connecting Mataram

(the provincial capital) with many sub-districts in West Sumbawa District, and the Airport in Greater

Sumbawa District.

3.2 Demographics Based on 2014 statistics (published in 2015), the population of West Sumbawa is 129,724,

consisting of 65,727 men and 63,997 women resulting in a male: female ratio of 103:100. The

population grew by 2.83% between 2012 and 2014. Population density averages 72 people per km2

with the highest population density of 144 people per km2 recorded in Maluk Sub-District. The

lowest population density of 25 people per km2 was recorded in Sekongkang Sub-district. Urban

area (defined as city-like places1) in West Sumbawa District is located in Taliwang, which hosts the

district government offices. The population of this urban area is 49,795 (25,062 men and 27,733

women). These figures demonstrate that 38.4% of the population in West Sumbawa lives in urban

areas, while the majority of the population lives in rural areas. Based on Sakernas 2014, the working-

age (>15 yrs.) portion of the population is 89,373 people, of which 58,179 people (35,628 men and

22,551 women) are employed. Within the employed population, 39.34% work in the agricultural

sector, 22.81% in trade sectors, 20.16% in service sectors, 15.72% in other sectors, and the

remaining 2.05% work in industry sectors. All sectors employ more women than men, except in

agricultural and other sectors where the composition is more men than women. The poverty criteria

used by the Bureau of Statistics is set at IDR 278,068 per capita per month. Using this standard,

21,470 people, or 16.71% of the West Sumbawa population, lives below the poverty line.

Based on a 2013 census, levels of education among working age in West Sumbawa range from “never

been to school” to “above diploma degrees”. In the working-age population, workers with “never

been to school” backgrounds consist of 11,967 men and 9,385 women; workers with “elementary

school education” backgrounds consist of 9,517 men and 9,465 women; “junior high school”

backgrounds consist of 5,363 men and 6,054 women; “senior high school” backgrounds consist of

13,347 men and 11,615 women; and “above diploma” backgrounds consist of 4,761 men and 7,897

women.

Health facilities (mainly health centers/PUSKESMAS and support PUSKESMAS) are available

throughout West Sumbawa. There is one hospital available in Taliwang sub-district, and nine

PUSKESMAS. An additional sixty four support PUSKESMAS (Poskesdes – Posko Kesehatan

Desa/Village health service) are distributed in the eight sub-districts.

3.3 Regional Economy 3.3.1 Performance for the Period 2011-20152 Economic performance of West Sumbawa District is based on records of GDP in West Sumbawa

District from 2009 to 2013. These data show that the economic performance of West Sumbawa

improved over this period, as indicated by an increase in gross domestic product (GDP). Based on a

constant price set in 2010, GDP in West Sumbawa fluctuated from IDR 14.7 trillion in 2011, IDR 10.8

trillion in 2012, IDR 11.2 trillion in 2013, to IDR 11.2 trillion in 2014. The calculated average annual

GDP from 2012-2014 increase is 6.3%, which is higher than the overall West Nusa Tenggara

provincial average of 5.78% annual GDP increase. West Sumbawa District relies on mining and

quarrying as a main source of revenue.

Based on very preliminary figures from District Statistics Bureau, the GDP in West Sumbawa District

in 2015 reached IDR 8.69 trillion. This GDP consists mainly of contributions from mining and

quarrying (79.50%), followed by agriculture, forestry and fishery sectors (5.41%), trades and trade-

like sectors (4.06%), and construction and real estate sectors (3.77%). Remaining GDP contributions

come from services sectors (1.74%), transportation and warehousing sectors (2.30%), government

administration (1.31%), education sectors (1.10%), information and communication sectors

(0.40%), the manufacturing sector (0.37%), electricity and gas management (0,03%), and the water

and waste management sector (0.01%). All sectors show similar growth rates during the period of

2011-2015.

3.3.3 Low-Emission Economic Development Most carbon emissions in West Nusa Tenggara Province are generated by land-based activities (81%

of a total of 22 million tons of CO2) in 20103. The province has targets for emission reduction from

land-based activities from the forestry sector consisting of:

Restoring 30% of secondary dry-land forest into primary dry-land forest by 2032;

Restoring 30% of other-use areas into secondary dry-land forest by 2032; and

Restoring 30% of other-use areas into mixed dry-land agriculture by 2032.

The regional action plan also describes the strategy for reducing greenhouse gas emissions from the

agriculture sector which includes:

Developing non-burning agriculture methods;

Using organic fertilizers from agriculture waste; and

Encouraging the use of biogas.

In addition to the abovementioned land-based greenhouse gas emission reduction strategies, the

action plan also outlines the energy sector strategy which includes the use of renewable energy and

household biogas. West Sumbawa District has implemented several programs and activities that can

be linked with the district’s commitment to the provincial strategy. The use of photovoltaic units

(solar panels) in Rarak Ronges Village in Brang Rea Sub-district, as well as the setup of a large-scale

biogas digester in Senayan, Poto Tano Sub-district indicates a degree of alignment with provincial

commitments to reduce greenhouse gas emission by using renewable energy sources.

3.3.4 Renewable Natural Resources Management West Sumbawa contains promising renewable natural resources to support sustainable

development. Potential renewable natural resources in West Sumbawa that may be important to the

GPP include:

Renewable energy

– Solar panels in Brang Rea Sub-district;

– Hydropower resources ranging from micro-hydro to mini-hydro have been identified as a

potential energy source in Rarak Ronges Village, Brang Rea Sub-district (highland area);

– Biofuel from Jatropha curcas (88 tons per year) or equal to a maximum production of 47,000

liters of oil per year.

Natural Resource Management

– Management of water springs under the Towards Green Indonesia (Menuju Indonesia

Hijau/MIH) program;

– Sustainable coastal resource management and conservation of small islands in Gili Balu;

3.4 Mining and Energy Sector Mining (mainly by PT Newmont Nusa Tenggara) currently contributes a large portion to the

economy of West Sumbawa District with 79.5% GDP contribution. PT Newmont Nusa Tenggara

(PTNNT) was assigned a contract of work area in 1986 to explore and exploit copper in Batu Hijau

area, and started operation in March, 20004. PTNNT planned to ramp down production in 2014 due

to a delay in securing an export permit. In 2015, the export permit was secured with a commitment

to export processed materials (rather than raw ore), in collaboration with a smelter plant in Gresik,

East Java Province. Based on GDP contributions from 2010 to 2014, contributions from the mining

and excavation sector to the district economy show a decreasing trend (Figure 1). Six other mining

companies have received mining licences, but only one of these companies (PT Husni Lee Mining /

HLM) has started operations. The declining trend is possibly caused by the global decline in mineral

price or a national policy that restricts export of raw ore. If this trend continues, West Sumbawa

District can expect to see a notable decrease in economic contribution from this sector as early as

2016. Therefore, it is important for the district to identify additional sources of economic

contributions from other sectors to offset the decrease in contributions from the mining and

excavation sector.

Figure 1: GDP contributions from the mining and excavation sector to the district economy from 2010 to 20145.

The electricity ratio in West Sumbawa District is 88.4, indicating that most of the households in West

Sumbawa currently have electricity. The total electricity production in West Sumbawa District is

approximately 61,200 MWh, of which 237 MWh is used. Peak loads in Sumbawa (Taliwang City) can

reach 10 MW and 8 MW during the night and day, respectively. These figures suggest that energy

needs in this district are well covered. The electricity is generated from a diesel-power generator

with an installed capacity of 12 MW.

The district has plan to switch diesel power electricity into other sources such as steam power plant

in Kertasari (14 MW), mini-hydro in Bintang Bano (8 MW) and mini-hydro in Rea (5.7 MW). All of

these power plants are under construction and no power purchase agreement (PPA) is established

between the national electricity company with the operators of these power plants.

The government of Indonesia has a policy of attracting private investment in renewable energy to

supply electricity. This policy is formulated in the regulation of Ministry of Energy and Mineral

Resources No. 31/2009 regarding pricing of electricity from renewable energy and environmentally-

friendly sources below 10 MW capacity. Under this regulation, PLN will purchase electricity at IDR

656/kWh and 1,004/kWh for on-grid to medium and low voltage, respectively. This price is

multiplied by an incentive factor of 1.3 for West Nusa Tenggara Province6. In West Sumbawa District

there are 110 individual photovoltaic units in Rarak Ronges Village, Brang Rea Sub-district, that

supply 180 houses in this village. However, existing photovoltaic units can only supply 15 watts to

each house. Additionally, there is also a potential for a mini-hydro power plant (water discharge rate

of 80 L/second) in this village. Furthermore, there is a large-scale biogas digester set up in Kelurahan

Senayan, Poto Tano Sub-district.

3.5 Spatial Plan West Sumbawa District has a valid spatial plan that has been legalized by a local regulation. District

spatial plan of West Sumbawa is legally enforceable by PERDA of West Sumbawa District No.

area), limited production forest (14.2 ha or 12.1% of forest area), and convertible production

forest (26.2 ha or 22.3 % of the total forest area);

Tourism areas consisting of mountain tourism (Taliwang Swamp, Pemurun Waterfalls, Kali

Mantong II Reservoir, Batu Lisung Waterfalls); coastal tourism consisting of Tano white sandy

beach in Seteluk Sub-district; Labuhan Balat, Poto Batu, Labuhan Lalar in Taliwang Sub-District;

Jelenga Beach and Benete Beach in Jereweh Sub-district; Maluk Beach in Maluk Sub-district;

Pesin and Lawar beaches in Sekongkang Sub-district; culture and nature tourisms in Mantar and

Rempe villages in Seteluk Sub-district;

Mining Areas in Jereweh and Sekongkang sub-districts with a total area of 1,683 ha or 0.9% of

the district area; and

Residential areas of 2,589 ha or 1.4% of the total district area.

In addition to the above classifications, West Sumbawa District designates strategic areas consisting

of:

Coastal and ocean areas consisting of fisheries (catch and culture), mangroves, coral reefs, and

seagrass;

National Strategic Area has a significant influence on national sovereignty, defense, security,

economy, society, culture, environment, and areas designated as World Heritage Sites. West

Sumbawa considers the area of PT Newmont as a national strategic area, because it is crucial for

the national mining industry;

Provincial Strategic Area is designated mainly due to its economic importance as a sustainable

feed crop agriculture area, and for its socio-economic importance. This area consists of Poto

Tano Ferry port, Jereweh Sub-district (tourism), and Brang Rea Sub-District (forestry and water

sources); and

District Strategic Area is an area designated for economic growth, environmental support,

socio-cultural values, natural resources, and high-technology utilizations. District strategic areas

in West Sumbawa District consist of ecological areas in the Selalu Legini forest complex.

3.6 Tourism Sector in West Sumbawa District West Sumbawa District possesses 46 tourism destinations consisting of 34 natural and 12 non-

natural locations. The Bureau of Statistics indicates that the Sekongkang, Jereweh, Maluk and

Taliwang sub-districts are the primary locations for tourist visitations, whereas Brang Ene, Brang

Rea, Seteluk and Poto Tano sub-districts do not show many visitations. Visitors in 2014 consisted of

14,480 (80%) domestic and 3,537 (20%) international visitors. The number of international visitors

increased by 113% from 1,659 to 3,537 visitors in 2011 and 2014, respectively. Despite the lack of

visitation in Brang Ene, Brang Rea, Seteluk and Poto Tano, these sub-districts offer tourist

attractions compiled in Table 1.

These data suggest that most of the natural (16 of 20) and man-made/artificial (5 of 6) tourist

destinations are located in Brang Ene, Brang Rea, Seteluk and Poto Tano sub-districts. The low (or

the lack of) visitation rates in these sub-districts suggest that the tourism potential in West

Sumbawa has not been optimally utilized. West Sumbawa District offers potential for tourism

industry in the form of coastal destinations (surfing, sandy beaches, and culinary centers) along the

west coast from Pesin, Tropica, and Rantung in Sekongkang Sub-district; Maluk Beach in Maluk Sub-

district; Jelenga Beach, and Poto Batu in Jereweh Sub-district; Kertasari in Taliwang Sub-district to

Poto Tano Beach in Poto Tano Sub-districts. Additionally the eight-island complex known as Gili Balu

on the north coast of the district also offers coastal and marine tourism potentials. Land-based

(mountain) tourism potentials in West Sumbawa District also consist of forest, waterfalls and

lakes/marshes.

The Gross Domestic Product (GDP) contributions of tourism-related sectors (i.e., accommodation,

food, beverage, and other services) between 2010 and 2014 show increasing trends (Figure 2).

These trends suggest that under a “business-as-usual” condition, the tourism sector will show

notable increases by 2019. However, effective interventions such as policy and marketing can

provide additional boosts to the tourism sector’s contribution to the district’s economy. The district

investment and licensing agency (BPMPPT) of West Sumbawa identifies tourism, creative economy,

as well as hotels and accommodations as a potential sector for investment and promotion.

3.7 Profile of Poto Tano Sub-District and Poto Tano Village Poto Tano Sub-district consists of eight villages (Senayan, Tebo, Mantar, Kiantar, Tuananga, Tambak

Sari, Kokarlian and Poto Tano). Mantar Village is located on the top of a hill in this sub-district and

has been designated as a culture tourism destination by the Bupati. A paragliding event was held in

2015 to inaugurate this designation, as well as to celebrate the anniversary of the establishment of

West Sumbawa District. Poto Tano District is known as the gateway to Sumbawa Island, because it

has a ferry port located in Poto Tano Village. This port is the main connector between Sumbawa and

the provincial capital in Sumbawa islands. The livelihood of the local people is mainly fishing

(coastal-based), with sisal (Agave sisalana) and cattle farming/herding practices as well. Sisal is

grown in trans-migrant areas to supply fibres for a fibre-collecting company, PT Pulau Sumbawa

Agro (located in Tuananga Village), that subsequently ships these fibres overseas to supply carpet

manufacturers in China. Most of the villages (except Mantar Village) are accessible by asphalt road

that are in good condition. Mantar Village can only be accessed using 4-wheel drive vehicles due to

the steep terrain leading up to the village. Sub-district officials have provided recommendations for

PT ESL and PT NOP pertaining to licensing processes for these tourism companies. Poto Tano

District does not have a dedicated police precinct, but security and stability in the area is well

maintained by the presence of police outposts. The aim of Poto Tano Sub-district is to develop

human resources through education, and thus improving the human development index. For this

reason, Poto Tano Sub-district is equipped with elementary schools in every village, five junior high

schools, and one senior high school. In relation to tourism development, Poto Tano District aims to

develop its eight-island complex (Gili Balu), especially Gili Kenawa and Paseran, for nature-based

tourism (eco-tourism).

The profile of Poto Tano District is similar to that of Poto Tano Village. Poto Tano Village consists of

three hamlets (dusuns): Pinamin, Poto Tano A, and Poto Tano B. The total population of Poto Tano

Village is 1,356 people consisting of 662 men and 694 women. The residential area is located in the

coastal area (with a plan to relocate some of them to an inland location). The livelihood of residents

in Poto Tano Village is primarily fishing (mackerels and squids with some molluscs, sharks, and

rays) with some dry-land agriculture (ladang) practices on 380 ha of the village area. Livestock such

as cattle, chicken, and goat are dominant assets among Poto Tano villagers, but there are constraints

in obtaining feed for this livestock (especially grass for cattle and goats). Tourism is not yet

developed in the area, and transportation to the islands is arranged through individual boat owners.

Due to the lack of organized transportation and competition to obtain passengers, conflicts often

occur among boat owners. Clean drinking water availability is also a problem in Poto Tano Village.

However, the village has received support from international aid agencies (such as AusAid) for clean

water pipelines through a water supply company (PDAM). Some households currently rely on

surface water, wells, or purchasing of drinking water.

There are eight small islands in Poto Tano Village (known as Gili Balu islands), and these small

islands have been designated for environmental services and tourism by the decree of the Bupati no

849/2011. The potential in these small islands consists of biodiversity (coral reef, seagrass,

mangrove, and fisheries), lagoons, white sandy beaches and other coastal resources. For

management purposes, these small islands have been categorized into zonation consisting of:

Core Zone in Belang Island and the south side of Kalong Island;

Limited Use Zone in Kalong, Namo, Kenawa, Ular, Mandiki, Paserang and Kambing islands;

Other Zone: Rehabilitation in Kalong and Namo islands; and

Other Zone: Ferry passage between Mandiki and Paserang islands.

The zonation map is shown in Figure 3.

3.8 Social and Gender Integration The long-term development plan (RPJP) 2006 to 2025 aims for sustainable development that

integrates all aspects of community in West Sumbawa, including social, welfare, and gender aspects.

Social quality will be increased by expanding the reach of social welfare services rehabilitation

programs and preventions of domestic violence in the district. Targets of the plan include increasing

the human development index by increasing income index, and the gender mainstreaming program

aims for ensuring equal and active participation of women and youth. Additionally, the missions of

West Sumbawa District government outlined in the Medium-term Regional Development Planning

(RPJMD) Year 2011 to 2015 include:

Establishment of socio-cultural organizations (5% increase in numbers of organizations

between 2011 and 2015);

Socio-political and socio-economic stability, as indicated by low conflict occurrences or

frequencies; and

Increasing socio-cultural facilities by 5% per year.

The latest development report from the Bupati of West Sumbawa District 2011-2015 outlines the

achievements of social and welfare programs in West Sumbawa District, which include:

Improving social capacity based on religious and cultural values;

Ensuring sufficient employment (quality and quantity);

Balancing environment and socio-economic aspects; and

Gender balance in all development sectors.

Villages in West Sumbawa District receive village funding (Dana Desa) from the central government

of IDR 10.4 billion in 2015, which is regulated under government regulation (PP) No. 60/2014

regarding village fund. Additionally, there is a village allocation fund (Alokasi Dana Desa/ADD)

within the district budget, which is regulated through Perda No. 2/2009 regarding ADD.

Currently there is no specific gender mainstreaming program in West Sumbawa District, but the

implementation of a gender mainstreaming program will be assigned to the office of women

empowerment, child protection and family planning (Badan Pemberdayaan Perempuan,

Perlindungan Anak dan Keluarga Berencana/BP3AKB). This office sets up a division for gender

mainstreaming that is responsible for:

Collecting and analyzing data and information;

Inventory of problems and possible solutions in gender mainstreaming; and

Planning, controlling, evaluating, and reporting the implementation of the gender

mainstreaming program.

West Sumbawa District has a regulation (Perda) No. 3/2008 that designates the women

empowerment and child protection division (within BP3AKB) as the authority for implementing the

gender mainstreaming program. Currently, the district government does not have an updated

database to support gender mainstreaming programs, but the existing development plans (RPJMD)

aim to ensure equal participation of men and women. This can be seen in the involvement of 147

women as government employees (out of a total of 571 employees in 2015), village heads, and

village officials.

1.2 Commitment to low emission economic growth

West Nusa Tenggara Province is included in the national strategic plan for reducing greenhouse gas emissions (RAN-GRK), and has specific targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions from land-based activities, energy, and waste. The commitment of West Sumbawa District (i.e., Bappeda) to low-emission economic growth can be seen in the development of the Protected Forest Management Unit (KPH-L) Brang Rea for sustainable forest management to support community welfare. Additionally, West Sumbawa was involved and recognized in the Towards Green Indonesia Program from the central government (Menuju Indonesia Hijau/MIH) for spring water conservation activities.

4. Interview with Bappeda (December 4, 2015)

Due to the lack of explicit policy, West Sumbawa District scored 2 on its commitment to low-emission economic development. However, there are several on-going activities and research projects in collaboration with Bogor Agriculture University (IPB), and PT Newmont Nusa Tenggara (PTNNT) for possible economic compensation for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Additionally, a commitment to low-emission economic growth can be seen in the implementation of renewable energy sources (solar panel, micro-hydro, biogas), and participation in the MIH program.

1.3 Potential land use conflict

Land-use conflict within West Sumbawa District is moderate, and is related to mining operations of small companies such as Indotambang. There is an ongoing boundary conflict between West Sumbawa and Greater Sumbawa districts related to Kalong Island (the easternmost island in Gili Balu island complex). Greater Sumbawa District believes that this island belongs to Greater Sumbawa, not to West Sumbawa.

2. Institutional Analysis 2.1 Bappeda and Sector

Agencies Bappeda and other sector agencies in West Sumbawa District have strategic plans that are incorporated into the district strategic plan for 2011-2015. The role of Bappeda as a planning agency in West Sumbawa District is acknowledged by other sector agencies, and implemented through an existing forum (Forum SKPD). The roles of Bappeda in participatory planning are also essential in the development planning process (Musrenbang) at the district and sub-district levels, while Musrenbang at the district level is done by sub-district governments. The role of Bappeda is formalized in the Bupati’s regulation (Perbup) No. 49/2010 regarding the main roles and responsibilities of Bappeda. The Bappeda consists of infrastructure, economy, and socio-culture divisions.

Commercial forestry, plantation, and coastal permits in West Sumbawa District are in the process of handing over to provincial and national levels, as mandated in Law No. 23/2014. The district is in the process of transferring the database to the provincial office. The licensing process for medium and large scale industries is performed by a one-roof licensing office (BPMP2T) with technical recommendations from relevant sector agencies (e.g., forestry, mining and energy, and environment). There are small artisanal mining operations in West Sumbawa, and these small artisanal miners do not have operating licences.

2015)

West Sumbawa District has formalized licensing procedures for forestry (transport permit), and quarrying. The licensing process for natural resources utilisations are done through the BPMP2T with recommendations from relevant agencies. The licensing process for sectors other than the natural resource utilisations is delivered through the one-roof licensing service (BPMP2T). However, with recent law No. 23/2014, the process for mining and forestry sectors will be handled at the provincial level.

The BPMP2T office always involves technical agencies prior to issuing a principle permit (izin prinsip) in the district. These technical agencies may consist of Public Works; Environment, Bappeda/Planning, District Secretariat; National Land Bureau; Legal and Mining and Energy. The licensing process for other sectors (e.g., tourism, trade, commerce, services, infrastructure, and construction) is also handled by the BPMP2T in West Sumbawa District. Also, BPMP2T office requires recommendations from the sub-district as part of the licensing process.

2.3 Non-government actors affecting district development

Non-government actors are defined as private sectors or organisations that support development in the district. Non-government actors exist and are involved in the development process. PTNNT established Olat Parigi Foundation as an implementation of their CSR commitments. Yayasan Pengembangan Ekonomi Sumbawa (Sumbawa Economic Development Foundation) is also associated with the CSR implementation from PTNNT. Activities of NGOs cover corporate social responsibility (CSR) and economic development (Farmers’ Union Foundation/YSTP and JARI). Additionally, there are international NGOs such as TNC and WCS (marine, coastal and small island conservation).

3 2 1 1. Interview with Bappeda, district agencies (December 4, 2015)

2. Interview with YSTP representative, December 4, 2015.

The Bappeda feels that NGO programs need to be encouraged to support local development in West Sumbawa (socio-economic, culture, conservation, and village capacity). NGO programs are partially in line with the focus of the GP program (forest and natural resource management), while some programs specifically address socio-economic aspects in West Sumbawa District.

2.4 Low-level government offices (sub-district and villages)

West Sumbawa has low-level government units referred to as villages (rural) and kelurahans (urban). There are eight sub-districts consisting of 57 villages and 7 Kelurahans. Development planning (Musrenbangdes) is a necessary step in administering the village budget (Anggaran Dana Desa/ADD). Results from Musrenbangdes are discussed at the sub-district level at the sub-district development planning forum (Musrenbangcam). Sub-district offices are not empowered with capacity to update the sub-district demographic database. However, this demographic database is not updated regularly. West Sumbawa District has issued a Perda specifically regarding the organization of villages and kelurahans (Perda No. 28/2006) and the Perda regarding merging and expansion of villages and kelurahans (Perda No. 27/2006). Referral to the Regulation of Ministry of Home Affairs (Permendagri No. 28/2006) regarding procedures for status change from village (desa) to kelurahan are found in the perdas regarding changes of Kuang, Menala, Sampir Dalam, and Bugis villages into kelurahans. Furthermore, West Sumbawa District has a specific regulation (Perda) regarding district investment for cooperative (Perda No. 9/2012) which can be inferred as a part of a commitment for empowering village capacity.

The updated sub-district statistics (Kecamatan Dalam Angka) indicated that the sub-district level has the technical capacity (or at least technical support) to conduct demographic data collection. Similarly, Poto Tano Village also shows an updated statistic (village profile) that was available during the site visit to this village. There are CSR programs from PTNNT, but these are concentrated only for villages around the contract of work area of this mining company (e.g. in Maluk & Jereweh sub-districts). Smaller (and possibly sporadic) interventions from donor agencies were observed in Poto Tano Village

2.5 Other donor/ NGO-

funded programs on low-emission development (NRM RE)

Except for support from government agencies for solar panel and micro-hydropower generators, there are no donor programs specifically aimed at low-emission development. WALHI and JATAM have been involved in advocacy for forest management and mining operation, respectively. Smaller provincial NGOs such as Somasi, Konsepsi, and Transform are active in policy advocacy.

3 2 1 1. Interview with Secretary of Bappeda (December 2, 2015)

2. Interview with Mining and Energy Agency (December 4, 2015)

NGOs are not considered very active in West Sumbawa District, and the Bappeda feels that they should be more actively involved in the development of West Sumbawa District. Programs addressing low-emission development are related to biogas and renewable energy (photo voltaic and mini-hydro power plants) are supported by central governments through the national budget (APBN).

2.6 Public participation Public participation in West Sumbawa District occurs in the development planning process in villages (Musrenbangdes) organized by the Bureau of Village Development (BPMPD), and in the sub-district (Musrenbangcam), which leads to the Musrenbang at the district level and organized by the district Bappeda. This process is regulated in the general policy of West Sumbawa District and also in the long-term and medium term planning documents. The Musrenbangdes at the village level is a mandatory exercise in determining the village budget allocation (ADD).

There is high level of participation from the community on development programs initiated by the district government, although most interest is in the infrastructure sector. Most sub-districts have conducted successful Musrenbangcam, while villages have their Musrenbangdes for the village planning. Musrenbang process ensures that governments, private sectors and civil societies are represented.

3. Participatory Land-Use Planning 3.1 Analysis on the

existing conditions related to four tasks in Participatory Mapping and Planning (PMaP)

Task #1: Participatory mapping has not been done. Interviews with the infrastructure division and the secretary of Bappeda indicate that conflicts regarding village boundaries are minimal and are limited to property disputes. However, there is an ongoing dispute

Task #2: Acquisitions of geo-spatial data and preparation of a GIS database of land use and cover have been obtained to develop the spatial plan (RTRW) 2011-2031. Geo-spatial data in shape files are available at the spatial plan sub-division under the Bappeda. However, the maps are dated from 2010 or older. Task#3: Compilation and geo-referencing of existing and pending licenses and permits for land and natural resource use is available, and West Sumbawa District is preparing to hand over the authority to the province (Law No. 23/2014). There are mineral mining activities (PTNNT) in this district. Task #4: Enhancing district spatial plans through capacity building in spatial planning, enforcement, and management of land use information in spatially-enabled databases is urgently needed in West Sumbawa District due to shortages in human resources capable of developing the spatial plan and to conduct spatial analyses.

from Ministry of Home Affair (Permendagri) No. 28/2006 regarding the changes from desa status to kelurahan. Examples are shown in perdas of transformation of five villages to kelurahans. The district spatial plan has been formalized with a Perda No. 2/2012, and all spatial data are available from the Bappeda (Spatial Plan Division). There is an unresolved dispute between West Sumbawa and Greater Sumbawa districts regarding one of the Gili Balu island complexes. Currently, there are no commercial forestry operations or plantations, but there are mining activities. Recommendations may include advising district government on the significance of participatory mapping (Task #1), updating geospatial data (Task #2), and concurrently providing capacity building and training for mapping personnel in Bappeda (Task #4). Therefore, the complete PLUP package is recommended for West Sumbawa District.

4. Regulatory Analysis 4.1 Regulatory

framework enabling GP Project Investment

Regulations concerning management of forestry, mining, and energy will be handed over to the provincial and central government regulations (in compliance with law 23/2014). Permitting in the district is limited to business licences, including licenses for tourism. Perdas relevant to natural resource extraction include Perda No.

Additionally, Perda No. 1/2010 regulates the commissioning of mining and quarrying operations. In addition to the long-term and short-term development plans, explicit regulation on natural resources can be found in Perda No. 30/2007 regarding environmental principles for community-based forestry management. Relevant regulation may include Perda No. 15/2007 regarding licence, retribution, and distribution of timber extraction.

central governments, licensing for natural resources is done with recommendations from technical agencies (e.g., forestry, plantation, environment and mining,), as well as approval from the sub-district government. Under the new law No. 23/2014, the district government will continue to provide advice and recommendations in the licensing procedure through provincial and central governments. Coordination across district agencies (technical sector) and one-roof licensing service is already well implemented.

In 2011 West Sumbawa District formalized the sanitation working group through Bupati Decree (SK) No. 620/2011. This working group then produced a white book on sanitation that outlines the sanitation strategy consisting of waste and garbage management, drainage, and training and communication on hygiene. This document refers to the Millennium Development Goals for indicators of improvements West Sumbawa District does not have specific regulations aimed towards safeguards on human health, livelihood, and environment. However, district commitments are reflected in the long-term and medium-term development plans. Other regulations for health and environmental safeguards may include

Regulations consisting of Perda and Perbup have not been specifically established in West Sumbawa District to address human health, livelihood, and environmental issues. The specific issue on sanitation has been identified and planned since 2011 through the formation of a sanitation (AMPL) working group and the publication of a sanitation white book. Strategies on safeguards on human health, livelihood and environment are also outlined in this Sanitation White book, produced by the AMPL working group. The aim for human health and environment is also stated as the sanitation goal in the long-term and short-term development plans. The white book of sanitation for West Sumbawa indicates the will of the district government which is formalized within a regulation dedicated to address this issue

Safeguards on environmental and livelihood aspects are not explicitly reflected in the district regulations. Therefore, a score of 2 indicates partial links between national policies on these safeguards in the district regulations.

4.3 PES (payment for environmental services)

West Sumbawa District consists of 16 small islands, with elevations ranging between 0 to 1,730 m above sea level. Approximately half (50%) of the district area consists of steep topography with gradients of more than 40%. The remaining areas consist of 12% flatlands, 9% undulating terrain, and 29% steep terrain. The residents of this district rely on a water supply that originates from water springs in forest areas such as Selalu Legini forest complex, and water flows originating from forests within Brang Rea Forest Management Unit (KPH).

4.5 Local government and community contribution to the environment

There are local activities such as organic farming, beach cleaning, protection of water springs (in Towards Green Indonesia/MIH program) and the development of a community-based coastal management and protection group (Pokwasmas). Stakeholders relevant to environmental issues (natural resource management) consist of customary groups, community leaders, private sectors, and NGOs.

3 2 1 1. Interview with Bappeda and district agencies (December 4, 2015)

These activities are initiated by the local communities and also by the district government, which suggests joint contribution between local people and the district government. However, implementation of these programs seems to be sporadic, and without harmonization with the overall development plan.

5. Social and Gender 5.1 Status of gender

mainstreaming in the district

West Sumbawa District does not have an ongoing gender mainstreaming program, but future implementation is strengthened by Perda No. 3/2008 that designates women empowerment and child protection division (within BP3AKB).

Baseline data does not yet exist and gender-oriented programs and campaigns are still limited to the development of databases that will be used to plan for future gender mainstreaming programs (gender-sensitive programs). Furthermore, the medium-term development plan (RPJMD), and the long-term development plan (RPJP), of West Sumbawa District specifically addresses gender mainstreaming by encouraging more women to participate in economic and employment activities. Involvements of women as civil servants (district government employees) and as village heads are seen in this district.

5.2 Vulnerable community groups

Vulnerable groups in West Sumbawa consist of people who live in poverty (GDP per capita below IDR 660,000 based on World Bank’s standard), and remote or isolated communities including marginalized ethnic communities. At the end of 2013, GDP per capita was IDR

The medium-term development plan (RPJMD) of West Sumbawa District aims for an average of 3% reduction of households within these categories.

reflected in the achievements of the Bureau of Village Development (BPMPD). There is some baseline data, but programs are limited to plans for relocation and provision of houses to vulnerable groups.

5.3 Customary law and its effect on district development

West Sumbawa District does not have a specific regulation (Perda) on customary law, and there is no implementation of traditional wisdom in West Sumbawa. There is support for customary organization development from government programs (PNPM), and there are customary organizations (Lembaga Adat Tana Semawa/Semawa Land Customary Council) whose branches are present at sub-district levels. There is also support from the Bupati towards these customary organizations.

Section 5 Conclusions

5-1

Section 5 Conclusions

Based on the prescribed Rapid DRA criteria described in Section 4, West Sumbawa scored 50 out of

the possible maximum 66 points. This is a moderate score (75%) and indicates some degree of

commitment and readiness of West Sumbawa to receive GPP investment. Aspects that received a

minimum score of 1 were found in the regulatory aspects, and were due to an absence of recognition

on customary laws, a lack of incentive mechanisms for green investment, and a lack of payment of

environmental service scenarios. West Sumbawa also scored low (1) on PLUP assessment due to the

needs for participatory mapping, geospatial data updating, and training. This is a potential area of

intervention for MCA-Indonesia in West Sumbawa District. Conversely, maximum scores were

observed in many aspects including Status of Requirements for Compact Conditions, and

Institutional and political analyses, thus indicating the baseline condition is suitable for GP

investment. West Sumbawa has a large percentage of forest area (approximately 70%) according to

Law No. 41/1999 on forest status.

In relation to Participatory Land Use Planning (PLUP), recommendations for West Sumbawa District

may include advising the district government on the significance of participatory mapping (Task #1),

updating the geospatial data (Task #2), while concurrently providing capacity building and training

for mapping personnel in Bappeda (Task #4). Therefore, the complete PLUP package is

recommended for West Sumbawa District.

The West Sumbawa government expressed great interest in GPP investment and anticipates the next

step of the program, which is the partnership grant for (Window 1B), or any other relevant window.

The expectation is that the partnership grant can be used to improve the tourism industry as a

primary sector and subsequently provide income and employment for the surrounding

communities. GDP analyses show a trend of declining contributions from the mining sector

(currently dominated by PTNNT’s operation) to the GDP. However, other sectors show a trend of

increase and may have the potential to provide higher contributions to the local economy by 2017.

These data are presented in Figure 4. The declining trend in GDP contributions from the mining

sector is possibly due to the suspension of PTNNT’s export permit. With the agreement to export

processed products (using the smelter in Gresik, East Java), the permit has been re-issued and the

contribution to the district economy is expected to continue. It is worth noting that, based on the

GDP projection, potential sectors that can boost the local economy in West Sumbawa District consist

of agriculture, forestry, and fishery.

Section 5 Conclusions

5-2

Figure 4: GDP contributions from various sectors within West Sumbawa District from 2010 to 20149.

The West Sumbawa District development plan for optimizing nature tourism is consistent with local

resources available in the district landscape. With 73% of the district area as forest, and a high

potential for coastal tourism along the west coast and small islands of West Sumbawa, the district

offers potential for nature-based tourism development. From an environmental services perspective,

West Sumbawa District consists of protected forest (Forest Management Unit/KPHL Brang Rea) that

are crucial in providing water for agriculture practices and the daily needs of residents in West

Sumbawa District.

Socio-economic aspects in West Sumbawa are linked to tourism, agriculture, plantations (rice, corn,

and sisal). Several investments in the agriculture sector such as PT Pulau Sumbawa Agro (sisal

collector), PT Bumi Harapan Jaya (shrimp hatchery), PT ESL and PT NOP (island/coastal tourism),

and other investments for coastal resorts (e.g., Tropica, Yoyo, Whales & Waves) indicate a relatively

good investment atmosphere. Despite the long-term presence of PTNNT in West Sumbawa, mining

operations do not appear to employ many people from the district, because most workers are

recruited elsewhere and brought to West Sumbawa. From a cultural perspective, the presence of the

customary council of Lembaga Adat Samawa can be seen as an effort to preserve traditional and

customary wisdom. However, no district regulations (Perdas) have been established to strengthen

this cultural value.
