"Pembangunan nasional yang sedang dilaksanakan negara Indonesia dan banyak ditopang oleh bantuan luar negeri, selain membawa keberhasilan di satu sisi, ternyata juga membawa dampak kesenjangan antar wilayah yang ada di negara Indonesia. Langkah selanjutnya yang digencarkan oleh pemerintah adalah membuat regulasi dan deregulasi untuk menarik minat penanam modal. Selain itu, langkah yang juga ditempuh adalah menetapkan kawasan-kawasan potensial sebagai motor pertumbuhan. Salah satu langkah yang telah ditempuh adalah penetapan wilayah Kabupaten/Dati II Bima dan Dompu sebagai Kawasan Pengembangan Ekonomi Terpadu (KAPET) Bima. Pemerintah memberikan fasilitas perpajakan agar investor tertarik menanamkan modalnya di wilayah tersebut. Dalam tesis ini akan dievaluasi bagaimana relevansi dari kebijakan tersebut, dengan berdasarkan pada pencapaian tujuan yang telah ditetapkan. Untuk mengujinya, diperlukan persepsi dari para pengusaha atau wajib pajak terhadap fasilitas pajak itu sendiri dan tingkat ketertarikan pengusaha terhadap fasilitas perpajakan yang sedang ditawarkan. Materi pengujian dilaksanakan berupa kuesioner baik kepada perusahaan bidang perikanan di seluruh Indonesia. Selain itu, dipilih pula perusahaan yang memiliki cabang dan atau berstatus penanaman modal asing (PMA). Hal ini dilakukan mengingat tujuan dari KAPET yang ingin menarik investasi dalam jumlah besar. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan, sekalipun bukan faktor utama, perpajakan merupakan salah satu faktor yang diperhitungkan para pengusaha sebelum menanamkan modalnya di suatu wilayah. Tingkat ketertarikan yang ditunjukkan responden didominasi tingkat ketertarikan sedang yang berarti para pengusaha ragu-ragu atau tidak cukup pengetahuan tentang fasilitas perpajakan itu. Berdasar hasil penelitian tersebut, nampak bahwa kebijakan pemberian fasilitas perpajakan perlu dibenahi terutama dalam hal sosialisasi kebijakan tersebut. Selain itu juga perlu memperhatikan dampak buruk dengan adanya investasi tersebut."

"The aim of this paper is to describe the spread of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and domestic investment according to its location, sector; and labour absorption. Analysis is based on secondary data published by Indonesia Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM). There are three main findings in this study: First, this study found that in the period 2002-2008, the largest past of FDI and domestic investment concentrated Java and Sumatra Island. Meanwhile, the provinces in the east of Indonesia received a small part of either FDI or domestic investment. This uneven investment concentration occurred because in the eye of investors, Java and Sumatra is more attractive than other Island in Indonesia in term of better infrastructure, wider potential market and higher quality of human resources. Second, the majority of foreign and domestic investor selected secondary sector (manufacturing) for their investment. Interestingly, there was a trend that those investments shifted from secondary sector to tertiary sector. Third, labour absorption both FDI and domestic investment, particularly invested in the secondary sector tend to increase. However, there is a tendency that investment in secondary and tertiary sectors moved to less labour intensive industries."

"The existence of construction sector in the structure of the national economy can be seen by their role in producing physical output that supports the smoothness of the economic activities. The development of the construction sector depends on the availability of the fund and project development provided by the government. Therefore, the involvement of private sector on construction sector must be increased to support the limit of government budget. Nevertheless, the increase of foreign construction companies in Indonesia raises the concern of the emergence of their domination in national construction sector. This article aims to analyze the role of the construction sector in the national economy and to explain the domination of the foreign investors in Indonesia's construction sector. This article suggests that the involvement of foreign private enterprise must be followed by an increase on the competitiveness of domestic enterprise in the construction sector. Furthermore, the increase of financial capacity, company's capacity, technological command, and quality of human resources are some indicators that need to be improved. On the other hand, fiscal stimulus is an alternative solution for increasing the activity of the construction sector especially for their benefit for creating more job opportunities. With the existence of the increase in local competitiveness, foreign domination in construction sector can be minimized and precisely open the opportunity for the involvement of the local contractors in large scale construction projects in Indonesia."
