    The Cham Boat Habitat
    (2016-11-07) Musa, Mohamad Zain; Samian, Abdul Latif
    The Cham people now living in Cambodia are descendants of the once famous kingdom of Champa (192-1835). Champa is part of the present day Vietnam. In Cambodia the Cham dwell in many types of houses which are called the “One, two or three … roof houses”. The largest is the “Seven roof houses” usually built by and for the well to do families. Other types of the Cham houses are known as Sang Pet, Sang Ketang and Gaiy Sang. The objective of this paper, which is a series of my research writing on the Cham houses in Cambodia, is to give a brief description of the types of the houses mentioned above and the description of the Habitat of the so called “boat people”, people living in “gaiy sang, house boat” which differs from the “boat house” meant for housing racing boats. The focus will be on the living habitat of the families living all their lives on gaiy sang raising up their children and what will hold for the future of their offspring.

    Implementation of Regional Autonomy in Riau Province
    (2016-11-14) Putro, Tri Sukirno; Samian, Abdul Latif; Jahi, Jamaluddin Md
    This study aims to analyze the existing implementation of regional autonomy and decentralization in Riau province, based on the law number 32 year 2004 about "local government" and the law number 33 year 2004 about "Fiscal Balance between central and local governments" which began efectif date of January 1, 2001. To carry out autonomous and decentralized, autonomous region given financial support by the central government, in existence: (1) Balanced Funds, comprising: (a) the general allocation fund, and (b) specific allocation of funds, (2) Funds for Yield (DBH ) tax and DBH original source. The main goal of financial aid is to reduce the degree of difference between rich region (producers of natural resources) and poor districts (non-producing natural resources). The impact of the policy is causing dissatisfaction for natural resource-producing region, because of the financial support received is too small, so Riau Province and some other areas (such as: the province Darussalam and Papua province), was able to claim the status of "autonomous region specific ". Funds to support childhood Riau provincial administration can be seen through :: (1) the degree of fiscal decentralizations small, between 30.86 percent to 43.66 percent (less than 50 percent), (2) the level of financial dependence, between 56.32 percent to 69.17 percent (over 50 percent) and (3) Regional selfsufficiency rate is relatively small. Especially during the years 2004-2007 of 40.51 percent. Based on the above facts, Riau province has been treated unfairly and demanded that the variables used to determine the amount of general fund allocation changes, such as by removing the factor of "revenue sharing" as a variable to determine the magnitude of fiscal capacity. Because of revenue sharing is "compensation" for damages to natural resources as a result of mining activities (oil and gas) will be borne by the Riau province.
