SR&DT Workshop 20 October 2014
Student research in Indonesian small island developments, which are members of the Student Research and Development Team (SR & DT) has reached the final session. The SR & DT Workshop was held on Monday, October 20th, 2014 at the ITS Rectorat Building. The purposes of this workshop is to present the final research for Indonesian small island development in Maratua (Berau, East Kalimantan) and Poteran Island (Sumenep, East Java). In this opportunity, the team presented the final results of the research that has been conducted for five months.
Preceded by the opening of the seminar Prof. Darminto as ITS Vice Rector and also Chairman of the Research Institute. Furthermore, the presentation of the progress of SIDI activities by Prof. Norbert Gruenwald from the Wismar University, Germany. The next agenda is the presentation of research final result of each island were preceded by Arida Wahyu represents Poteran team and followed by presentation Maratua represented by Andre Prakoso. Small island development has a different focus, Poteran island will focus on the agricultural sector with the potential of Moringa oleifera and seaweed, then Maratua island focus on the development of tourist-based energy (eco-tourism) island.
In addition to presenting the final results, both of teams also carry products from each study as a prototype of this study. An example is Poteran team provide some food like cake from Moringa leaf powder and Maratua team providing prototype form coral reef transplantation and wind power turbines that will be applied as an alternative energy in the island.
The participants in this seminar come from ITS, Wismar University (Germany), Students and Business Partners also all of stakehold of the Small Island Development Initiatives (SIDI). The seminar is expected to be the first level to apply the research as Indonesian small island developments.
SR&DT 2014 Testimonials
Maratua Team
 Nadia Sanggra Puspita - Chemical Engineering 2009 (Maratua team leader)As a Project leader of SR&DT Maratua team, I learn to manage people from diversity education background which is very challenging. I learn to shape a bunch of ideas into one integrated tourism scenario since each of us has brought a special issue for Maratua sustainable plan. SIDI really helps me to improve my analytical thinking on how to think like a researcher and investor in the same time, which I have to think both deeply in research and futuristic way. This program gives me opportunity to get mentorship with expert in its field, working professionally with global mindset and standard. I also get heartfully friendship through SIDI, and we have decided to make a new platform for realizing our ideas. SIDI isn’t just like a program, it’s like home. |

The purpose of the visit as a means to establish cooperation with the relevant parties and perform optimally poteran island development. Poteran island is one of the tiny island of about 120 small islands scattered on the island of Madura. Poteran island has the potential of nature which is quite abundant one is Moringa oleifera plant. The SIDI project is teaming up with the University of Wismar Germany focusing on potential crop Moringa oleifera found on the island of Poteran. Moringa oleifera plants have nutritional antioxidants and is good for the health of the body. But the potential of the plant poteran Island Moringa oleifera untapped optimally. for locals, Moringa oleifera just crop serves as the guardrail between the land, as the creeping plants leaves and herbs, used as food by people. There isn’t selling value of the Moringa oleifera plant because society has not yet to do the processing on the plant Moringa oleifera. Based on the results of interviews with the head of Unit of the Agriculture on the island of Poteran, Mr. Bambang explained that the plant is easy to grown Moringa oleifera by means of stem cuttings and most of the plants on the island of poteran yet kelor affected by pesticides.
