The conference clusters were: Cluster 1 - Acceleration Strategy for Public Administration and Governance; Cluster 2 - Acceleration Strategy for Sociology and Culture; and Cluster 3 - Acceleration Strategy for Law and International Relations. Aside from the high quality paper presentations, the program also featured nine invited speeches. We strongly believe that SHIMBA conference provides a good forum for all researcher, developers and practitioners to discuss all aspects that are relevant to maritime and border area. We also expect that the future SHIMBA conference will be as successful and stimulating, as indicated by the contributions presented in this volume.

This book is the proceeding of the International Conference on Maritime Education (ICOME 2021) that was successfully held on 3-5 November 2021 using an online platform. The conference was mainly organized by The Faculty of Teacher Training and Education Universitas Maritim Raja Ali Haji (FKIP UMRAH). This conference aims to provide a forum for scholars, professionals, and academics to share their fruitful insights on current issues in education. Each participant will get an opportunity to expand their networks and collaborate at the ICOME 2021. The conference’s theme is “The Reinforcement of Educational System, Values, and Characters in Maritime Education”. The number of participants who joined the zoom room was recorded at 296 participants and 30 participants attended the conference directly at the Aston Hotel, Tanjungpinang, Indonesia. The 27 full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 41 submissions. The papers reflect the conference sessions as follows: teaching methods and approaches, testing and evaluation, educational management and policy, designing syllabus and production of teaching materials, teacher training and professional development, digital literacy and technology usage for education, challenges and barriers in coastal education, character education in maritime context, curriculum development for maritime context, international, cross-national and domestic forces in the shaping of educational ideologies, educational systems, and patterns of teaching and learning.

This volume explores options for a sustainable maritime domain, including maritime transportation, such as, Maritime Spatial Planning (MSP), maritime education and training, maritime traffic and advisory systems, maritime security. Other activities in the maritime domain covered in the book include small-scale fisheries and sustainable fisheries, and greening the blue economy. The book aims to provide the building blocks needed for a framework for good ocean governance; a framework that will serve through the next decade and, and hopefully, well beyond the 2030 milepost of the UN Agenda for Sustainable Development. In short, this book brings together the problems of the current world and sustainable solutions that are in the development process and will eventually materialize in the not so distant future. Additionally, the book presents a trans-disciplinary analysis of integral sustainable maritime transportation solutions and crucial issues relevant to good ocean governance that have recently been discussed at different national, regional and international fora, highlighting ongoing work to develop and support governance systems that facilitate industry requirements, and meet the needs of coastal states and indigenous peoples, of researchers, of spatial planners, and of other sectors dependent on the oceans. The book will be of interest to researchers across many disciplines, especially those that are engaged in cross-sectoral research and developments in the maritime transport sector and across the wider maritime domain. To this end, the book covers areas including natural and social sciences, geographical studies, spatial planning, maritime security and gender studies, as they relate to transport and the wider maritime sector. In addition, the book explores frameworks for sustainable ocean governance being developed under the UN’s Agenda for Sustainable Development to 2030. It will also look beyond the 2030 milepost under that Agenda, and will be of use to national and international policymakers and practitioners, government actors at the EU and other regional and national levels and to researchers of ocean governance, sustainability and management, and maritime transport.
