Aqua City Mall
Aqua City Mall is located in Odaiba,
a large artificial island in Tokyo
Bay, Japan. Odaiba developed into
one
of Tokyo's
commercial
business central in shopping,
dining and leisure options. Aqua
City is small part of Odaiba, a
shopping mall featuring various
stores, boutiques, restaurants,
cafes and cinema. The most
interesting shop is Daiso, a ¥100

price is ¥100. Various goods sold
there like kitchenware, homeware,
stationery, toiletries, toys and
many more.




Harajuku
Harajuku is not only known as the center of Japan's
teenage cultures and fashion styles, but also offers
shopping for adults and some historic sights. The
main point of Harajuku's teenage culture is
Takeshita Dori (Takeshita Street), a narrow roughly
400 meter long street which are lined by many
trendy shops, fashion boutiques, used clothes
stores, crepe stands and fast food outlets .





Akihabara
Akihabara is famous for its many
electronics shops, so it’s also
called ‘Akihabara Electric Town’.

The shops offer various thing
from the newest computers,

There are special offer for foreign tourist that we can
get discount coupon and Wi-Fi guest code. Shisui also
provides foodcourts inside.






Tsukiji Fish Market
Tsukiji Fish Market is famous as world's
largest fish markets. The attractive thing in
Tsukiji Fish Market is tuna auction in early
morning at around 4:00 a.m or even earlier.
Tsukiji Fish Market consists of inner market
where most of the wholesale business and
the famous tuna auctions are taking place,
and outer market whose retail shops and
restaurants cater to the public. Several
restaurants are also found in the inner

market. In Tsukiji Fish Market we can find
not only fresh seafood, but also fresh fruit,
vegetables and Japan’s street food.


PESTLE (Political, Economic, Social, Technological, Legal, Environmental) Analysis
Political
There are interest groups in Japan, a group of large Japanese companies or Big Business groups. There are four
particularly important business associations, namely Keidanren (Federation of Economic Organizations), Nisho
(Japan Chamber of Commerce and Industry), Keizai Doyukai (Japan Committee for Economic Development),
and Nikkeiren (Federation of Employers Organization). In addition there is also a private company organization
namely Keiretsuka (a kind of company that has subsidiaries of component makers), such as Mitsui group or
Mitshubishi group. Such organizations / associations may be incorporated as associate interests, which have an
influence in Japanese policy-making in business and industry. Because of the political situation and condition in
Japan, the interset group can turn into a pressure group, a group that can impose its will on the authorities. So
that the Big Bussines group can be called a pressure group (although probably not originally intended to be a
pressure group), because the group (political infra structure) in the implementation of the political system can
influence the political structure (especially the government / executive / cabinet) in the taking decision or
policy-making.
Economic

The source of business capital in Japan comes not only from banks, insurance companies, and other sources of
capital, but also sustained by government borrowing loans as well as Japan's overall tax and savings. In other

3




words, Japanese companies are owned by the public nationally (national ownership). This situation makes
businessmen in Japan do not have to worry about bottom line, in contrast to American companies that are very
worried about bottom line, so that Japanese companies can concentrate on long-term stability and market
share growth that encourages the creation of lifetime employees and long-term loans. In addition, Japanese
businessmen can concentrate on increasing business growth, so they can get more bank loans, as well as
profits that can increase capital.
Social
The driving factors that makes Japan as success and wealth country are because Japanesse has the culture and
character of a hardworking, unyielding, entrepreneurial, innovative and highly disciplined individual. Another
factor, which also supports the Japanese economy is good relations with many countries that ultimately help to
smooth its foreign trade. The characteristics of the Japanese economy include the close cooperation between
firms operating in refineries, supplies, distribution, and banks (this cooperation group is called keiretsu), wage

negotiations between private companies and trade unions (shunto), good relations with government
bureaucracy, and lifelong career guarantees (shushin koyo) for nearly one-third of the city's workforce, as well
as employment contracts for workers.
Technological
Japan is famous as a country that often imitates large companies by producing high quality products. They
produce in the same way and what sets them apart is "Kaizen", a Contiunous Improvement that doing the
same thing and making improvements from other companies so they can do way better than the competitors.
Legal
Japan is ranked 34 among 190 countries in the ease of doing business, according to the latest World Bank
annual ratings in 2016. The Ease of doing business index ranks countries against each other based on how the
regulatory environment is conducive to business operation and stronger protections of property rights. Ease of
doing business contain ten indicators such as starting a business, dealing with construction permits, getting
electricity, registering property, getting credit, protecting minority investors, paying taxes, trading across
borders, enforcing contracts and resolving insolvency. It means that the Japanese government provides
convenience for people who want to establish a business.

Environment
Japan has made great strides in reducing waste volume and recycling used products, especially recycling cans
and plastic bottles that has been running steadily in Japan. Explanation about Japan incineration plant will be
discussed in own section of this paper.

Conclusion
There are several things that can be learned from the business in Japan:
STP activities (Segmenting, Targeting and Positioning) are very important in order to create a brand
and attract consumers. Based on the above explanation, each shopping place has its own
characteristics, that consist of unique place, goods sold and tconsumers targets.
Japanese proficiency in managing the traditional culture to be something that can be sold.
The importance of government support in business industry
Environmental awareness
Mastering the latest technology
Highly educated, hard-working, and innovative people

CROSS CULTURAL ANALYSIS REPORT
Aside shopping places we also visited the historical buildings that became the landmark of Tokyo.

Sensoji Asakusa Kannon Temple
Sensoji Asakusa is a Buddhist temple
located in Asakusa, Tokyo, Japan and
also being the Tokyo's oldest temple.
When approaching the temple,visitors
first enter through the Kaminarimon
(Thunder Gate), the outer gate of
Sensoji Temple A shopping street of
over 200 meters, called Nakamise,
leads from the outer gate to the
temple's second gate, the Hozomon.
Beyond the Hozomon Gate stands the
temple's main hall and a five storied
pagoda. This temple is still actively
used as a place of worship.


Tokyo Sky Tree
The height of Tokyo Sky Tree is 634m,
making it as the world’s highest standalone communication tower. The building
is not only a high technological structure
but also evokes a sense of Japan traditional
culture. The Tembo Deck, located 350m
above ground level, features a spacious
design that affords a 360 degree panoramic
view of Tokyo.




Differences in Values, Beliefs and
Policies
Japanese consumers have very high standard of quality for the products they buy. They will not hesitate to file
a complaint to the seller or the manufacturer if there is a defect in the product they purchased. Japanese
consumers also like goods that has long durability. One example is the use of school bags for elementary school
students that the bag has been designed to be worn for 6 consecutive years without being replaced.

Acculturation
The religion of most Japanese population is Shinto. The name Shinto emerged after the entry of Buddhism to
Japan in the sixth century AD which was intended to refer to the original belief of the Japanese nation. For
centuries between Shintoism and Buddhism there has been such a mixture (even Shinto's religion is under the
influence of Buddhist authority) that Shinto's religion is always preoccupied with efforts to maintain its own

5




"life". In the next development, facing a meeting between Buddhism and the original belief of the Japanese
(Shinto) that ultimately resulted in a considerable competition between the Japanese priest (Shinto) and the
Buddhist priests. To maintain the survival of Shinto religion, the priests accepted and entered Buddhist
elements into their religious system. As a result Shinto religion has almost lost most of its original properties.
For example, various religious ceremonies and even shrine building forms are heavily influenced by Buddhism.
The statue of the god who was originally unknown in the Shinto religion began to be held and the simplicity of
the Shinto shrines became gradually replaced by a colorful ornament style.
World Brands
Japan has many product that become worldwide, such as food (KitKat, Oreo, Pocky, Springe potato, Kraft,
Cheetos, etc), drink (Pocari Sweat, Vit C, Yakult, etc), electronic (Sony, Toshiba, Honda, Yamaha, etc) and many
more. Although Japan has a lot of domestic production goods that have been worldwide, but the Japanese
people are also willing to accept foreign brands, such as Iphone, Macbook, Starbuck, Uniqlo, Zara and many
more.
Recommendation

Japanese people are open in accepting the brand from abroad. Examples of brands from Indonesia who
managed to get into Japan is Indomie. So if other companies wishing to enter the Japanese market, they must
hold one important key, that is, high quality products.

COMPANY VISIT ANALYSIS REPORT
Shin-Koto Incineration Plant



Overview of Shin Koto Incineration Plant
Burning is an excellent way of processing waste and recycling energy because combustible waste is burnt in a
hygienic manner, reducing the volume to 5% while heat generated serves to generate electricity for energy
recycling. Shin Koto Incineration Plant equipped with the state of the art air pollution preventive facilities plays
an important role of processing waste produced within 23 cities in Tokyo, enjoying a much longer service life as
a valuable final disposal sites.
Shin-Koto Incineration Plant is a magnificent building, a touch of modern architecture in which divided into
several rooms, equipped with sophisticated machine tools. The process of handling waste using incineration
methods in which garbage burned with a high enough temperature can adversely affect the surrounding
environment, for example, air pollution (the emergence of dioxin gas that is harmful to human health).
However, with a fairly sophisticated technological approach, the Government of Japan is increasingly able to
minimize its negative impact. In the early stages, all communities are required to sort waste into two
categories: burnable and unburnable. Garbage generated by nearly 9 million people (about 8,000 tons per day)
then transported to incineration plant for burnable waste and to recycle plant for unburnable waste every day.
In the incineration plant, waiting for the crane that will stir this garbage, so that the sized garbage variations
are mixed with each other to facilitate the burning. Furthermore, the garbage that has been fused is burned
with temperatures reaching 800 degrees Celsius. This technique not only effectively reduces the volume of
certain waste to almost 1/20 of the actual size, but also reduces the dioxin gas generated from combustion.
More sophisticated, the thermal energy generated from the combustion process is used to supply all the
electricity needs in the incineration plant and the rest is sold to the electricity provider. This incineration plant
also produce ash and fine aggregate which used as material material mix for hardening pedestrian area,
highway, and even building. Water with high temperature from the burning of this waste is also used for the
needs of tropical plant greenhouses.

Here is the flow of waste processing in Japan














Shin-Koto Incineration Plant visited by many people every year, ranging from school students to governments
of other countries who want to learn and see the process of waste management using this sophisticated
technology.
Shin Koto Incineration Plant is the largest incineration plant in Tokyo. Every day the Shin-Koto Incineration
Plant can burn 1800 metric tonnes of garbage and produce a power output of 50,000 kilowatts. Part of the
heat is supplied to the adjacent public facilities including the Tatsumi international swimming pool of Tokyo,
the Yumenoshima House of Tropical Plants Tokyo and the Yumenoshima Marima. The Plant was equipped with
the state-of-the art air pollution preventive equipments resulting in pollution emission levels far lower than the
Japanese national standards.

2.

Waste processing in the 23 cities is free of charge for household waste (excluding the disposal of
waste exceeding 10kg per day), while large-sized waste and business-generated waste are charged


Transferring Process
It resolve the transfer method for every kind of waste (burning, flaming retardant, fault size) to carry
effectively. To ensure efficient transfer, transfer methods are determined based on the types of waste
(combustible, incombustible or large-sized).
Combustible-waste
Combustible means burnable. The definition of combustible waste is organic content of solid waste,
including paper waste (toilet paper, diapers), cardboard, cartons, wood, boxes, excelsior, straws,
plastic bags and wrappers (gift wrappers, food wrapper,candy wrappers, grocery bags), textiles,
bedding, leather and rubber (shoes, bag, boots, slipper), paints, yard trimmings, leaves, tube and
other plastic containers (cooking oil containers, ketchup containers soy sauce containers, margarine
containers, toothpaste containers,yogurt containers) and household waste. All of those wastes will be
burnt. Combustible waste is loaded onto collection vehicles (such as compaction type vehicle) on
collection sites, from which it is directly transferred to an incineration plant.
Incombustible-waste
Incombustible means non-burnable. Incombustible wastes include can type items, bottle type items,
spray cans (hair spray, butane gas cylinders, disposable lighters), metallic items (tea kettles, aluminium
bottle caps, yogurt lids, pots, nails, blades, aluminium foil, ballpoint, pens), glass items (plates, glasses,
lightbulbs, pyrex, windowspanes), ceramics (vases , bowls, plates), plastic products (plastic buckets,
tapes, compact disc, children toys, plastic rope, umbrella), small appliances (vacuum cleaners, rice
cookers, printers, electric kettles, toaster oven, camera), PVC products (plastic wrap, vinyl gloves, etc),
battery, etc.
Incombustible waste is transferred to either the Chubo Incombustible Waste Processing Center or the
Keihinjima Island Incombustible Waste Processing Center. Since both are located on the waterfront,
some cities have established land or boat transfer stations, where waste is reloaded onto container
vehicles or vessels for relayed transfer.
Such relayed transfer contributes to improved transfer efficiency, reduced traffic congestion
alleviation of air pollution due to exhaust.
Large-sized waste
Large-sized waste includes things that can be reused or part reused (knitting machine, CD players,
sewing machine, DVD recorders, casette players, stereos, car stereos, VCRs, speakers, fax machine),
recyclable textiles (bathtowels, sheets), items containing mercury (thermometers, fluorescent
lightbulbs, blood pressure meter, mirror), things that can be reused for scrap metal (bicycles, weed
whackers, space heaters, microwave, oven, steel chairs, corrugated steel, other small hard objects)
Large-sized waste is delivered to the Large-Sized Waste Pulverization Processing Facility. Cities that
have a transfer station conduct relayed transfer by reloading it from smaller collection vehicles onto
larger vehicles. Such relayed transfer contributes to improve transfer efficiency, reduced traffic
congestion and alleviation of air pollutin due to exhaust.

The intermediate treatment of waste
1. Processing combustible waste
2. Improper waste disposal may cause a halt or failure of incinerators
3. Bottom ash is recycled as cement materials
4. Bottom ash is melted into slag
5. Environmental measures to prevent exhaust and wastewater emissions
6. Putting the heat energy generated from incineration to beneficial use
7. Processing incombustible waste and large-sized waste

Waste Management in Indonesia
Managing waste is one of the problems that exist today. The high level of public consumption resulted in
increase in the amount of waste generated. On the other hand, the land to accommodate the rest of the
consumption is limited. One way of handling domestic waste efficiently is to burn it with incinerators.

10




Incineration is a waste processing technology that involves burning organic matter. Incineration and other hightemperature waste treatment are defined as thermal processing. Incineration of waste materials converts
waste into ashes, combustion gases, particulates, and heat. The resulting gas must be cleaned of the pollutant
before it is released into the atmosphere. The heat produced can be utilized as a power generation energy.
Incinerators reduce the volume of garbage up to 95-96%, depending on the composition and degree of waste
recovery. This means incineration does not completely replace land use as a final disposal area, but
incineration reduces the volume of waste discharged in significant amounts.
Incineration is very popular in some countries like Japan where land is a very scarce resource. Denmark and
Sweden have become pioneers in using heat from incineration to generate energy. In 2005, waste incineration
generated 4.8% of the electricity and 13.7% of the country's heat consumed. Some other countries in Europe
that rely on incineration as waste processing are Luxembourg, Netherlands, Germany and France.

Waste from consumption of urban residents turns out that the wastes are not easy to decompose, especially
plastic. The accumulation of plastic waste creates serious contamination. This condition is realized by some
people by growing efforts to reduce plastic waste. New plastic bags can begin to decompose for at least more
than 20 years in the soil. If the plastic bag is in the water, it will be more difficult to unravel.

The research results of Jenna R Jambeck and friends in 2015 stated that Indonesia was in second position of
plastic waste contributor to the sea after China, followed by the Philippines, Vietnam, and Sri Lanka. As a
developing country, the problem of waste in Indonesia becomes a problem that should get more attention as
the rate of population growth continues to increase. Waste management infrastructure in Indonesia is still
considered inadequate. There are several ways used in waste processing, such as landfilling, incineration, and
recycling. The commonly used method of processing in Indonesia is to bring waste to Final Disposal (TPA), while
a small portion is recycled. The way of processing by bringing waste to the TPA can still be used for areas with
large enough land, but less effectively developed in areas with limited land area. In addition, waste landfill is
one of the methane gas producing areas that cause the greenhouse effect, the source of the disease, and is
generally opposed by the local community. In Europe, this way has been banned since 2008. Another way of
processing waste is inceneration. Inseneration is a way of processing waste that is used commercially. In this
way, waste can be processed in large volumes. But by way of waste processing is still emerging environmental

11




problems, namely the presence of dioxins that can lead to health problems such as damage to the immune
system, cancer, reproductive disorders, and others. In addition, huge investment is required, complicated
technology with minimal economic value, and is currently heavily restricted in developed countries.

Some incinerator project were failed in some Asian countries because of high operation cost especially for fuel,
due to low calorie of waste.

In 2015, West Java Governor Ahmad Heryawan inaugurated the second incinerator construction built by PT
Jasa Medivest in Dawuan, West Java. The second incinerator development is expected to make West Java
Province as a reference for medical waste management in Indonesia. The second incinerator owned by BUMD
Jabar subsidiary PT Jasa Sarana has a capacity of more than 6,000 tons of medical waste per year. This capacity
increase is expected to overcome the problem of medical waste in West Java. With this capacity added is
certainly a step forward because waste management is still a problem, this will be the biggest in Indonesia and
hopefully this can be an inspiration because the waste management business is still not handled well.

Based on the release from http://nasional.news.viva.co.id, Indonesia produced 65 million tons of waste in
2016. The number increase compared to 2015 as much as 64 million tons.
The amount of waste, now being a serious concern for the government to do the processing to reduce the
accumulation of waste. For example, Jakarta reaches the amount of waste at 70 thousand tons per day. This
makes the Landfill become increasingly accumulate. The Ministry of Environment is now seeking to buy
incinerators to reduce waste quickly, especially in big cities. They will also take other parties.
The establisment of incinerator will take a lot of budget, so now it is still being pursued. The ministry will
improve the amount of waste banks (bank sampah) throughout Indonesia.

Reccomendation
Japan already has excellent waste management system. This is supported by Japanese people who have high
awareness to throw away the waste in place. Indonesia has the opportunity to be able to imitate the waste
management system in Japan, but the community must be willing to change. In Indonesia we still often find
garbage disposed on the roadside, ditch, or in the river. People in Indonesia are not yet accustomed for
classifying waste according into its type, such as organic waste, inorganic waste, plastic waste, garbage cans,
electronic garbage, and so on. This garbage grouping will make it easier in the process of waste management
later. Indonesian people has a tendency to throw away all sorts of waste into one trash can. So that to be able
to realize excellent waste management hence need strong synergy between society and government.
As good as any waste management program and any sophisticated technology used, it will remain in vain if
there is no substantial contribution from the society to change. There are several important things that must
be done by the community to support integrated waste management in order to create a clean environment
such as:
ü

ü
ü
ü

Familiarize the 3R lifestyle of Reduce Reuse Recyle
Sorting waste starting from our immediate environment such as home and workplace. Do the waste
sorting at least 3 types of organic waste, recycled and B3. Divide the kitchen waste and food waste
into organic trash. Waste bottles, cans, glass, paper into recycling bin and electronic waste, batteries &
lights used to B3 waste bin.
Reduces activities that can lead to waste, such as not using plastic bags
Familiarize the reuse of goods that are still worth selling and valuable for recycle garbage
Always throw garbage in its appropriate place.


Development of incineration plant in Indonesia needs asset management analysis. Asset management is a
combination of management, finance, economics, mechanical engineering and work practices applied to
physical assets in order to be able to provide the highest level of service at the most cost-efficient. In addition
to providing optimum benefits, the asset management objective is to keep the asset value high and have a long
life span by providing sufficient operating costs so as to produce high output efficiently, delivering satisfaction
to its customers but with due regard to legislation and safety aspects so as not to disturb the environment and
provide a good image to the public. The asset management process is conducted by analyzing existing data,

12




inspecting the assigned assignments, inspecting the resources used, the costs, the workings and the changes
that occur. Accommodations must be made to the existing changes so that any problems that arise will be
controlled. Asset management activities begin with asset identification, rating and asset investment,
assessment of asset conditions and valuation of the asset itself, recording the remaining life of the asset, its
financing cycle and analyzing the gaps. In addition, monitoring of asset and audit conditions and preparation of
asset management work plans should also be conducted. It should also identify the needs of the asset by taking
into account the applicable requirements of the community, the applicable provisions including ongoing
maintenance and rehabilitation, to suit the needs. Then the process of asset management activities is also
directed to the operations of the asset and up to the transfer of the asset to the other party when it is no
longer needed and no longer feasible to be maintained (dispossal).
