Abstract

Oil palm is a strategic mainstay product with a crucial role in the national economy, and it can also be carbon sink to mitigate the negative impact of global warming when managed in environmentally friendly manner. Therefore, management and surrounding community need to have an understanding of the environment, and pro-environmental attitude and behaviour. Action research, which aimed at mitigating global warming through the local action of environmental education (EE), was conducted toward oil palm plantation employee and surrounding community. The EE programme was expected to be able to shape understanding and pro-environmental attitude and behaviour in the target group.  Rapid observation and interview were carried out in collecting data for EE programme development.  A needs assessment was conducted in developing the EE subject; based on local environmental problems and gap of target group’s perception of the problems.  Global warming-related environmental problems found in the location included air temperature increase, drought and difficulty in determining planting season.  Spatial analysis based on 1989 and 2014 satellite imagery showed a decrease of the water body, tree vegetated land and open areas, and an increase in non-tree vegetated land and built land, accompanied by an increase in areas with higher temperature range.  Both employees and the community had a good knowledge of the environment, but less in conservation. The environmental education provided for them had been able to increase their perception on environmental conservation. However, repetition and intensive assistance are still needed to strengthen the perception

Abstract

Indonesia is home to many cultural heritages which are exposed to natural disaster, its number has grown by 400% within the years of 1975-2010.  In order to protect the cultural heritages, the national government released InaRisk – a web based geospatial data to identify risk information. This application, however, not fully apprises its users of the potential loss that cultural heritage objects, especially temples, may sustain. For these reasons, the research set out to evaluate the potential loss of temples by making use of disaster vulnerability and risk approaches. Seven temples were exposed to earthquake and landslide hazards; hence, observed as the research object on a micro-scale. The research method combined tabular, spatial, and temporal data of several indicators, namely types of building materials, building’s structural integrity after earthquakes and landslides, the number of salvageable objects, building age, significance, historical value, and the number of visitors. The results showed that Prambanan and Sewu Temples had the most substantial amounts of potential losses incurred from damages to at-risk elements, namely the numbers of visitors, employees, and supporting facilities and their distances to sources of hazards. Assessing the numerical values of losses requires further improvements in accuracy as it has not thoroughly factored in the significance of the temples, which is composed of historical value, building age, number of visitors, and other components. Valuation of this significance is still limited to currently available data, including the price of the constituent rocks, area and volume, and supporting facilities.

Abstract

Registrasi penduduk merupakan sumber data kependudukan yang sangat penting untuk tujuan keamanan dan perencanaan pembangungan kependudukan. Data ini disamping mencakup wilayah yang luas (lingkup Nasional), juga menyajikan data yang selalu baru dan kontinue sehingga dapat memenuhi kebutuhan data pada suatu saat. Ketersediaan data dan informasi kependudukan yang akurat dan tepat waktu merupakan unsur mutlak dalam perencanaan pembangunan. Data penduduk dari sumber ini disamping dapat digunakan untuk mengevaluasi program-program pembangunan yang telah berjalan, juga dapat digunakan untuk analisis jangka panjang dan yang lebih penting untuk perencanaan pembangunan kependudukan. Namun demikian, hingga kini sumber data tersebut belum dapat dimanfaatkan secara optimal sebubungtm dengan kendala kualitas dan kekomplitannya. Pemerintah telah berupaya meningkatkan kualitas data registrasi agar dapat dimanfaatkan untuk kesejahteraan penduduk.

Abstract

From 2009 to 2015, the growth of tourism in the tourist villages (desa wisata) of Karimunjawa underwent rapid progress. However, the level of poverty in Karimunjawa remained high. Nevertheless, the involvement of rural people in the sustainable development of tourism has received only limited discussion. Therefore, this article discusses the rural communities’ adaptation and resilience in Karimunjawa with the support of sustainable development planning in tourist villages. It covers the background of sustainable development, the elements of the communities’ adaptive capacity and resilience, and the role of the regional government. Empirical evidence of variations in the capacity to respond to changes of socioeconomic and ecological environments due to tourism development is presented. In addition, a case study is used in this article to describe how the people learned from their experience, knowledge, and past efforts. To obtain the necessary information, in-depth interviews were conducted with a number of key informants in the tourist villages of Karimunjawa, which were selected via purposive and snowball sampling. The results of the research show that social resilience will increase among those communities that are capable of accessing flexible social networks. These social networks are practical tools that open up the dissemination of new information and knowledge. This is a key element for a stronger process of transformation. Furthermore, communities that have capital and financial access as well as skills will also be capable of adaptation to the transformation process.

Abstract

Hujan merupakan masukan dalam sistem hidrologi. Ditinjau dari kualitasnya dibandingkan dengan air aami lainnya, air hujan merupakan air paling murni dalam arti komposisinya hampir mendekati H2O. Namun demikian, pada hakekatnya tidak pernah dijumpai air hujan yang betul-betul hanya tersusun atas H2O saja, berbagai faktor lingkungan telah mempengaruhi kualitas air hujan tersebut. Pencemaran udara yang terjadi di kota-kota besar, baik yang berupa buangan gas maupun emisi dari kendaraan bermotor. Serta buangan gas dari pabrik telah mempengaruhi kualitas air hujan yang jatuh di daerah kota. Air hujan di daerah pantai juga terpengaruh oleh laut dengan segala aktifitas dan komposisi airnya. Di daerah gunung api yang masih aktif air hujan juga dipengaruhi oleh aktifitas tersebut. Masing-masing lingkungan tersebut di atas mempengaruhi komposisi air hujan. Kajian kualitas air hujan dilakukan dengan mengambil hasil penelitian yang dilakukan oleh peneliti sebelumnya di daerah pulau Jawa, namun demikian hasil penelitian yang dilakukan di luar negeri juga digunakan sebagai pembanding.
