Abstract

Urban traffic congestion in growing secondary cities is rarely caused by traffic volume alone; it is usually produced by the interaction between peak-hour demand, roadway geometry, roadside friction, motorcycle dominance, and land-use concentration. This study analyzes the temporal and spatial pattern of traffic density on Ahmad Yani Road, Kota Lama District, Kupang City, Indonesia. A quantitative descriptive design was applied through direct field observation at four observation points: the Gereja Katedral segment, Mutis Road intersection, Fatuleu Road intersection, and Flores Road intersection. Traffic counts, vehicle classification, mean travel speed, and operational traffic-density indices were collected during morning, midday, and afternoon periods on busy, normal, and low-activity days. The findings show that the highest traffic volume occurred at Flores Road during the busy-day afternoon period, reaching 3,269 vehicles per observation interval. The highest density index was observed at the Gereja Katedral segment during the normal-day morning period, reaching 79.11, followed by high-density conditions at the same segment in the afternoon and at the Mutis Road intersection. The results indicate that congestion on Ahmad Yani Road is temporally concentrated during morning and afternoon activity peaks and spatially concentrated around junctions, public-service corridors, commercial frontage, and access points. Roadside friction, including on-street parking, stopping vehicles, pedestrian movements, and entry-exit maneuvers from local roads, reduces effective road capacity and disrupts traffic flow. The study contributes empirical evidence for urban traffic management in Kupang and recommends integrated interventions involving parking control, peak-hour traffic regulation, roadside-friction reduction, pedestrian management, and improvement of public transport attractiveness.

Abstract

Climate change, especially erratic rainfall patterns, significantly impacts the agricultural sector, which is the main livelihood in Mandeu Village. (1) To determine the management of dry land rain-fed rice fields in Mandeu Village, Raimanuk District, Belu Regency. (2) To identify SWOT climate change in the management of dry land rain-fed rice fields in Mandeu Village, Raimanuk District, Belu Regency. (3) To determine the local wisdom adaptation strategies of farmers in facing climate change in Mandeu Village, Raimanuk District, Belu Regency. This study uses a mixed method to analyze land management and problems and farmers' adaptation strategies based on the analysis (SWOT). The results of the study show that (1) Utilization of organic fertilizer: Farmers use cow dung to improve soil nutrients, which also serves as an alternative to expensive chemical fertilizers. (2) Communal cooperation: Farmers work together to build small-scale water infrastructure such as drilled wells and mini ponds, as a response to uncertain water availability. (3) Selecting mixed rice varieties, farmers plant various rice varieties, such as the drought-resistant local Membromo rice and superior varieties such as Ciherang and Inpari, to minimize the risk of crop failure due to climate uncertainty. This study concludes that farmers in Mandeu Village have a strong ability to adapt to climate change thanks to local wisdom passed down through generations. Their strategy focuses on diversification, combining traditional practices and adopting adaptive crop varieties.
