The research was conducted in Sleman Regency with 3 study area based on the extent ofagricultural land conversion. The purpose of this research is to examine the determinants ofagricultural conversion internally and externally, as well as the impact on the availability offood, especially rice. The research was conducted by survey method and statistical analysisregression Ordinary Least Square. The resultsof this research showed that the internalfactors which significantly affect land conversion is the price of land and land location in allareas of study. External factors have significantly positive are variable population, landconversion rules and land location, while the variable GDP in the agricultural sectornegatively. Availability of rice in Sleman Regenct zone 1 indicates the region from 1983 to2025 for the population minus the rice sufficiency. In zone 2 region between 1983 and 2005but it is still a surplus between 2006 and 2025 minus. In the area of zone 3 is projectedthrough 2025 the availability of rice is sufficient

This p a p e r presents a flood risk perception and coping mechanism along CodeRiver, Yogyakarta Municipality based on the community approach. A total of 90households were interviewed. Data were analysed using Statistical Package for theSocial Sciences (SPSS) Program. The result indicated that there are no differencesof flood risk perception among the zones (p >.05). Perception of flood risk is influencedby several variables: gender, length of stay, RW’s risk level, distance betweenrespondents’ house and river and impact level of flood. Whereas, all types of community’scoping mechanism (technological, social, and economical) are influenced by impact levelof flood.

This research aimed to analyze both development level and pattern in tourism area aroundLake Toba basing on its life cycle (Butler, 1980). Samples were tourism spots in 7 regenciesin the area of Lake Toba; respondents included 195 householders and 198 tourists.Combined approach (qualitative and quantitative) in this research resulted in thedifferentiation within each spot in the area whose developments do not fully follow the linearline as it is assumed by Butler (1980) i.e. emphasizing the factor of tourist number as a mainindicator in a development. Empirically, all of these tourism spots, as illustrated in previousstudies, experienced a “jump” of development especially on their tourist numbers. Beside thedetermination of quantitative indicator of tourist number, this also happened due to directcorrelation with the factor of product as well as tourism attraction including demographicand economic characteristic of the market of tourists and also the factor of superstructureesp. tourism institutions and policies.

Nepal is a vulnerable country in terms of multiple disasters and one of them is earthquakes.Disaster risk management experts believe that one of the ways to reduce thevulnerabilities is by adopting a community-based disaster risk management approach.Unfortunately, Nepal has limited resources; the culture of insurance against disastersdoes not currently exist. This paper describes the findings of research conducted intraditional settlements of Kathmandu Valley multiple case studies, household surveys,and community-based participatory research have identified that the culture ofparticipation in local development activities and fundraising at the local level couldcontribute to disaster risk management in traditional settlements of Kathmandu Valley. Thispaper thus suggests developing resilience governance at the community level throughconsumer cooperatives in order to reduce vulnerability to earthquakes and capitalize onalready existing financial, human, and social capital and resources.

The model of “desa tangguh bencana” (disaster resilient village) has to be initiated throughstimulus program. Social values existed in local community are basic capital in establishingdisaster resilient village. Mapping the site properties and characteristics is an essential stepto capture the community’s level of vulnerability and capacity. Establishment of “desatangguh bencana” is one of methods to involve local community in community based disasterrisk reduction (CBDRR). The initiation of disaster resilient in Pagubugan Kulon was donethrough stimulus-response method to introduce safe and resilient culture. Building up thegood understanding of disasters becomes one important way to rise up the communitypreparedness. The community response in Pagubugan Kulon to the disaster stimuli is theestablishment of “desa tangguh bencana pratama”.

This study aims to model the growth trend of the extent of land use for building based on thecarrying capacity of land in Palu city which is known as Bay City in accordance with theprediction of time. Methods of research were carried out with the approach of spatial andquantitative methods. The results show that Palu city as Bay City has the characteristics ofurban land that is quite specific to the protected area. There is still available land forbuilding i.e.: ± 13.151,13 ha (34.74%) with a growth rate of land use for building in thefuture 2.72% per year, area of cultivation will be fully filled in the year 2056 with thecapacity of 1.052.730 people. Carrying capacity of land in Palu city until the year 2056 hasnot exceeded the threshold, either by the land consumption per capita or by the level density.

Globally, world urban population has been increasing and by 2050 it is expected to reach70% of the world population. This is a challenge because new settlements are emerging andmost of them are taking place informally in developing countries. Forms of urbanization indeveloping countries are not in favor of poor people. As a result, majorities are forced toreside informally in areas prone to natural hazards in general and floods in particular.Literatures prove that informal settlements are a major factor in the increase of floodsbecause most of them lack of basic infrastructures and there is poor coordination from thedevelopment activities. These together contribute to the increase of vulnerability of informalsettlement inhabitants into different risks associated with floods as a result of climaticchange. The paper therefore assesses surroundings of informal settlements under theumbrella of factors that cause risks and how they are managed and spell out relevant policyimplications. Findings show that factors that increase flood associated risks in the settlementinclude: housing densification, solid waste management, sewers and drains management,blocked streams, water sources, livestock keeping, and accessibility.

This paper examines the spatial pattern of the provision of private health facilities and whatthe pattern portends for health needs in an era of global warming using the 33 LocalGovernment Areas of Oyo State as spatial units of analysis. The data used for this study werecollected from Oyo State Hospital Management Board and the National PopulationCommission. The findings of the study generally show that there are enormous spatialinequalities in the provision of private health facilities in the study area. Gini Coefficient andthe associated Lorenz Curve confirm that there is generally an unequal distribution of privatehealth facilities in the study area. The curve suggests that the most vulnerable segment of thepopulation to the health consequences of global warming are precluded from utilizing privatehealth facilities. Oyo state’s experience thus shows that there is need for policy measuresthat will ensure unrestricted access to health facilities in an era of global warming.

Tegal Municipality is one of coastal cities suffering from tidal flood inundation. This paperaims to assess current and future hazards to understand the extent of the inundation. Fieldobservation, questionnaires, in-depth interviews, as well as secondary data collection havebeen great tools in achieving the research objectives. It is found that households in researchlocation are dominated by low hazard indexes. The results are influenced both by currentautonomous and planned adaptation strategies conducted by affected households andgovernments. It is also found that due to its relatively low-lying area, Muarareja is the firstvillage affected by inundation depth increase. A 10 cm inundation depth scenario results inthe inundation of more than 85% of Muarareja’s total area. Meanwhile in Tegalsari,Mintaragen, and Panggung, a 10 cm inundation depth scenario results in inundation of lessthan 21% of total areas.
