Economic Policy of Transportation Network Services in Indonesia



Nowadays, information and communication technology and the lifestyle of the citizen, especially in big cities, seem inseparable, including in Indonesia. Unlike countries in Europe, Indonesia is still in the process of going to digital oriented societies. Based on the latest research of Center of Innovation Policy and Governance (CIPG), Indonesia’s internet penetration growth is the highest in Asia which reaches 51 percent. Indonesia’s National Statistics Office also reports that Information and Communications Industry has been growing rapidly (more than 8% per year) for the last five years.

We can see many Indonesian youths try to grasp this momentum by working or creating technology-based start-up companies. One of these Indonesia’s companies that has significant impact in the societies is called Gojek. Gojek, established in 2009, is Uber-like company that provides network services for hiring vehicle and delivering goods and services. This company quickly gains popularity since it offers network services for hiring not only car but also motorcycle which is unfortunately still the quickest and cheapest transportation in Indonesia.

Today, there are two major companies (Gojek and Grab) that provide the same services. Not all parts of the societies are happy with the existence of those companies, the conventional transportation (non-application-based transportation) that choose not to join those companies lose their market. They demand the government to regulate those companies. There are two main demands, regulate the tariffs and the quota of the application-based transportation. More detailed:

How to Create Indonesia Map in R

Creating the Map In this article, I will try to explain how to make Indonesia Map in R. I will assume that you are already familiar with the basic codes in R. First, we need the required libraries : require (maps) #loading maps package require (mapdata) #loading mapdata package library(ggplot2) #ggplot2 package library(readxl) #package for read .xlsx file library(ggthemes) #package for ggplot2 theme library(ggrepel) #extendig the plotting package ggplot2 for maps Then, we prepare the data that contains the information of provinces name, latitude, and longitude of every province in Indonesia, e.g. : You can download the data in here:  Data Now open the file and create the polygon: setwd( "your file's path" ) #set your own directory mydata<- read _xlsx( "dummy.xlsx" ) #assign the data to "mydata" View(mydata) #view the data, notice the column of "latitude","longitude", "woe_label" glo...

Interactive Visualisation Using R

Shiny is an R package that makes it easy to build interactive web apps straight from R. You can host standalone apps on a webpage or embed them in R Markdown documents or build dashboards . (R Studio) This one below is an example of how useful Shiny for data visualisation: *Sudden changes starting in year 2010 caused by the implementation of new HDI method Codes for the above visualisation: library(shiny) library(googleCharts) library(dplyr) library(readxl) head(data) ## # A tibble: 6 x 6 ## woe_label Island year Grdpc HDI Population ## <fct> <fct> <dbl> <dbl> <dbl> <dbl> ## 1 Aceh Sumatera 2000 4995. 65.3 3930905 ## 2 North Sumatra Sumatera 2000 5848. 66.6 11649655 ## 3 West Sumatra Sumatera 2000 5388. 65.8 4248931 ## 4 Riau Sumatera 2000 5746. 67.3 4957627 ## 5 Jambi Sumatera 2000 3503. 65.4 2413846 ## 6 South Sumatra Sumatera 2000 4506. ...
