The Implementation of Indonesian Navy’s Hydrography and Oceanography Center in Supporting the Government Vision to Realize Indonesia as the Global Maritime Fulcrum

Abstract

The Global Maritime Fulcrum (GMF) is a strategic idea hat is realized to ensure inter-island connectivity, development of the shipping industry and fisheries, and focus on maritime security. The implementation of Pushidrosal's tasks, roles, and functions in supporting the government's vision to realize Indonesia as GMF is inseparable from problems that result in the non-optimal role of Pushidrosal as the National Hydrographic Organization. The dominant problems that prevent Pushidrosal include limited, human resources, infrastructure facilities only located in Jakarta, vessel and equipment survey owned by Pushidrosal. This research aims to analyze the role, duties, and functions of Pushidrosal in supporting the government's vision to realize Indonesia as GMF. The research was conducted using qualitative descriptive methods which are based on the implementation theory of George C. Edwards III. The results of this study indicate that the implementation of Pushidrosal's role in supporting the government's vision to realize Indonesia as GMF is not in doubt. This means that the role and application of hydrography strongly support the government's vision of realizing Indonesia as GMF. In order to carry out the duties of the national hydrographic institution more optimally, it is necessary to increase capabilities in terms of human resources based on its qualifications in the sector of hydrographic, infrastructure, budgeting and addition of Hydrographic and Oceanographic Units are needed in three regions, namely West, Central and East, and harmonious cooperation between the Ministries and Institutions (K/L) and stakeholder.
