Abstract

Kawasan pesisir adalah suatu area yang sangat produktif khususnya di Sulawesi Utara, sehingga ekosistem kawasan ini menjadi sangat rentan terhadap gangguan terutama terhadap kegiatan manusia. Pengelolaan yang melibatkan multipihak sangat penting dilakukan di area ini. Lembaga Swadaya Masyarakat (LSM) atau NGO’s adalah salah satu pihak yang sangat berperan di dalam penyusunan strategi pengelolaan kawasan pesisir di Sulawesi Utara. Partisipasi LSM dalam mengelolah kawasan pesisir Sulawesi Utara sangat nyata (siknifikan) mempengaruhi perbaikan lingkungan kawasan ini, terutama di dalam pendidikan lingkungan dan penumbuhan partisipasi masyarakat yang bermukim di kawasan pesisir Sulawesi Utara.

Abstract

Lake Tondano serves as a vital natural resources for North Sulawesi people, especially for those living in the Minahasa Residency and City of Manado. The Lake provides some important services namely, potable water, water irrigation, hydroelectric power, etc. It is regrettable that in the past five years, the Lake has been experiencing significant stress due to the alarmingly blooming of the aquatic vegetation in addition to sedimentation and water volume reduction problems. To address such problems, The Center of Environmental Studies Sam Ratulangi University, together with the UCE-CEPI, has been conducting an integrated research project focusing on the Tondano Watershed. This research entitled “ the Abundance of the Aquatik Plants in the Lake Tondano” was undertaken as a part of the joint research project above. The objective of this research was to determine and analyse the distribution and abundance of the aquatic plants in the lake Tondano. It is hoped that this research will provide some baseline information which will profoundly important to deal with eutrophication. In so doing, vegetation analysis using a systematic strip sampling was employed in this study. A further analysis was used to determine the important value, richness, diversity, and evenness indices. The findings indicated that: 1)water hychynth, Eichornia crassipes, is the most dominant aquatic plant; 2). According to the Richness Index, Tolour is the richest area among others surrounding the Lake Tondano; 3). Aquatic vegetation in Tasuka and Ranomerut areas is solely dominated by water hycynth, Eichornia crassipes.

Abstract

In industrial activity, the heavy metals are highly used to develop and increase their products. Utilization of heavy metals as catalyst, product and by-product produced pollutant of the heavy metals around Bitung Municipality coastal areas. The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of the heavy metal industrial activity indicated by biological method on farmer’s social economic and community around Bitung Municipality coastal areas. This research was conducted from May 1999 to January 2000 using eleven samples of locations around Bitung Municipality coastal areas. Samples were taken once every two weeks at each location and analyzed at the laboratory. Survey of the farmer’s social economic was conducted after defining the laboratory data of heavy metal contents. The results of this study showed that diversity indexes of the benthic fauna were 0.33 to 2.79. Main parts of the locations from St. 2 to St. 11 showed diversity indexes of plankton of 1.12 to 3.14. During observation, there were about 48 planktons. Diversity index of shells ranged from 0 to 1.79; similarly, those of fish ranged from 0 to 2.43. Many of those index laid at the above of 2. The results of this study can be concluded that industrial activities around Bitung municipality coastal areas have contaminated the heavy metal pollutants in the bodies of marine animal organisms such as, benthic fauna, plankton, fish and shells varied among eleven locations.

Abstract

Urban activities are not controlled is one element of the causes of global warming, which affects the increase in air and water temperature in the city and surrounding areas. Increasing the total area of pavement materials and the use of metal or other materials that are reflective of solar radiation on the building envelope, is a consequence of consumption of construction technology recently. It was precisely to encourage the acceleration of the Urban Heat Island phenomenon. In addition, transport activities, industry and households in the city also produces various types of waste gases causing the greenhouse effect. The use of vegetation elements are inexpensive components that can inhibit the rate of increase in temperature in urban areas. Determination of the number of green basic coefficient (KDH), a minimum percentage of Forest City and Green Open Space (RTH), a strategic reason to face the effects of global warming, especially for the tropics and humid. This paper specifically raised the role of urban greening to fortify the system of sustainable development in the face of global warming.

Abstract

Palm as a group of plants, very interesting. Interesting, not in terms of botany, but also in terms of beauty of form, diversity of species and its use. This is possible because the groups are large amounts of palm. It is estimated that, in this world is growing at about 2800 species of palm that belong to 215 genera. Of these, Indonesia has approximately 460 species of about 35 genera (Setijati Sastrapradja, 1980). Of course not all known palm grows in Indonesia, known to his name. Thus, there is still a chance to discover a new species from the forests of Sumatra, Sulawesi, Kalimantan, Irian Jaya or the small islands that munkgin still has areas of natural woodland. The types of benefits are not yet known, nor the less obvious forms of her body, could have escaped.

Abstract

Based on observations carried out in order to arrange Appendix I of Presidential Instruction No. 3 of 2003 stated that there are still some weaknesses that stand out for the formation of E-Government is the human resource constraints that hinder effective work processes, the rigid bureaucratic system, the absence of adequate strategies and that the lack of funds, there is still no coordination among the sectors to joint together to build a network of communication and information, and is still a limited capacity for communities to access these networks via the Internet. In addition, standardization of procedures and operational implementation of E-Government is a must for the government to set one up. From several weaknesses mentioned above, can be summed up that there are three things that mattered to implement E-Government to support the creation of Good Governance, namely: (1) Readiness of human resources; (2) bureaucracy or the State Organization, (3) Limitations of budget resources or funds; and (4) standardization of implementation and the basis for regulation. Of the problems mentioned above, the ability and readiness of governments to implement E-Government both in terms of human resources, the readiness of the bureaucracy, technological readiness and preparedness of communities as users need to be studied in depth. It is solely to determine the readiness and the benefits that would be obtained if the application of E-Government is set. Therefore, the purpose of writing this paper are: (a) to assess the extent of readiness of existing human resources to deal with the implementation of E-Government; and (b) to examine the extent to which the implementation of E-Government can influence the creation of Good-Governance seen from bureaucracy and the state administration has been running until today
