Book excerpt: Indonesia has been remarkably successful in achieving its development objectives over the past 25 years. Although it is still a low-income country, its tradition of sound economic management has laid the foundations for continued progress in the decades ahead. As the Indonesian government formulates its second long-term development plan, issues of environmental quality and sustainability raise new concerns. This report examines environmental issues, assesses their implications for the achievement of development goals, and suggests an action plan that would help to ensure that those goals will be met. The analysis of current environmental conditions and trends and of the likely impact of future growth leads to three main conclusions: - Future growth will depend increasingly on Indonesia's stock of key natural resources and the sustainability of critical ecosystems. -The industrial sector will continue to expand in urban areas, where growing congestion and industrial pollution pose an immediate threat to health and human welfare. This will eventually lead to negative effects on the economy. -As a result of rapid growth, environment- related issues of equity among the population will become increasingly important.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: February 1995 The pollution intensity of emissions is much higher for plants located in poorer, less-educated communities than in richer, better educated ones. This difference appears to be too large to reflect preferences alone. Differential ability to pressure polluting firms may also be important. Pargal and Wheeler test a model of supply-demand relations in an implicit market for environmental services when formal regulation is absent. They use plant-level data from Indonesia for 1989 - 90, before the advent of nationwide environmental regulation. Treating pollution as a derived demand for environmental services, their model relates emissions of biological oxygen demand to the price (expected cost) of pollution; to prices of other inputs (labor, energy, materials); and to enterprise characteristics that may affect pollution demand, including scale, vintage, ownership, and efficiency. The price of pollution is determined by the intersection of plant-level demand and a local environmental supply function, enforced by community pressure or informal regulation. Environmental supply is affected by community income, education, the size of the exposed population, the local economic importance of the plant, and its visibility as a polluter. Their results are strongly consistent with the existence of an informal pollution equilibrium. Pollution intensity declines with increases in plant size, efficiency, and local materials prices. Older plants and publicly owned facilities are more pollution-intensive; multinational ownership has no independent effect. The results also suggest that the price of pollution is higher when plants are particularly visible and is far lower in poorer, less-educated communities. Thus, the intensity of pollution is far higher in such communities. While it would be premature to generalize from these results, they suggest that the model of optimal pollution control in environmental economics is more relevant for developing countries than many have believed. Community-factory interactions seem to reflect environmental supply-demand considerations even when formal regulation does not exist. In addition, the apparent power of informal regulation implies that cost-effective formal systems should be designed to complement, not supplant, community control. In particular: * Local communities should not be forced to rely so heavily on visibility when judging environmental performance. Formal regulation should include publication of audited emissions reports from factories. * Environmental injustice may be real and important. Many poor, uneducated communities may need extra support from national regulators. * However, appropriate regulation should strike the right balance between equity and efficiency. Uniform national standards go too far because they eliminate all the natural and legitimate regional diversity that is also reflected in informal arrangements. This paper -- a product of the Environment, Infrastructure, and Agriculture Division, Policy Research Department -- is part of a larger effort in the department to understand variations in pollution across firms.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work describes how spectacular economic growth in Indonesia has led to a sharp increase in energy consumption and consequently, in air pollution. It demonstrates that control is required, and offers an analysis of how Indonesia could move forward. The text includes an in-depth study of Indonesia's geography, economy and state of the environment, as well as historical statistics and how Jawa is developing. It gives advice on how Indonesia's pollution problems can be controlled in all area's and thus reduce the health risks.
