Abstract

Five days after the Kelud Volcano eruption of 13 February 2014, lahar occurred in several channels of the Volcano. Rainfall with intensity of 26 mm/hour mobilized pyroclastic material from the upper slopes of Kelud Volcano down the channel during 3.5 hour. Using this eruption as a case study, the aims of this paper are (1) to study the geomorphic impact of lahars and (2) to study future hazards and risks due to the potential of lahar source material and lahar repose area. To reach these two goals, we use both primary and secondary data. The primary data comprises an integration of remote sensing, GIS approach, and fieldwork control, in order to investigate the geomorphic impacts of lahars. Secondary data were collected through interviews and statistical approach in villages, in order to determine their perception to the risk of lahar. Morphogenic processes such as riverbank erosion, channel-widening and riverbed downcutting took an important role in generating the impact of lahar in Kali Konto. The medial and distal areas were affected more largely affected than the proximal area. This major impacts have been river widening and buried crop field inside of the channel. This result allowed us to provide recommendation to population living along those areas at risk, in order to be prepared against the eventuality of potentially large and destructive lahars.

Abstract

Segala aktivitas masyarakat memiliki dampak positif dan negatif, dampak tersebut harus tidak menganggu keharmonisan hidup masyarakat. Aktivitas atau suatu usaha kegiatan selalu berubah-ubah dan sekaligus dihadapkan pada dinamika masyarakat yang merupakan aspek-aspek sosail. Padahal aspek-aspek sosial memiliki peran yang penting dalam kajian dampak lingkungan. Aspek-aspek sosial yang dikaji dalam analisa dampak lingkungan meliputi komponen-komponen yang terdiri dari variabel-variabel, seperti demografi, ekonomi, dan budaya. Variabel aspek-aspek sosial ini ternyata tidak kalah pentingnya dengan analisis dampak lingkungan dalam pengertian aspek fisik.

Abstract

Land use management causes the changes of the function of the land in the city. The change of the function of uncultivated land to be cultivated land has a potential to change soil biophysical characteristic, and at the same time, it decreases the absorption of soil water. This research aims: (1) to study the influence of the landuse change towards soil biophysical characteristics, (2) to study the correlation between soil biophysical characteristics and infiltration capacity, and (3) to study the influence of the landuse change towards the infiltration capacity. The landuse change is studied by comparing the ongoing mapping documents. Soil biophysical characteristics consist of root biomass, number of worms, soil organic matter (SOM), and porosity. The root biomass is obtained by root density, the number of worms is identified with monolith and hand sorting method, the SOM is identified with fraction analysis, and the porosity is identified with cylinder and pignometer method. The water absorption is measured with the plot experiment. The influence of the landuse towards soil biophysical traits is analyzed T-test and the influence of landuse change towards infiltration capacity is analyzed correlatively. This research gains the results that: (1) the landuse change causes the change of soil biophysical traits, too, and the soil biophysical traits change causes, furthermore, the declining of the land capability in absorbing water, and (2) the amount of the infiltration capacity is caused by soil biophysical traits, mostly by root biomass, number of worms, and the SOM, and (3) the landuse change causes the declining of infiltration capacity.

Abstract

This study is aimed at studying spatial distribution patterns of settlement, inluding their variations and respective influencing facctors. The ultimated objetives to be ahieved are studying variation of dsitribution patterns of settlement, and the contribution of socio-economi facctors to the existing distribution patterns of settlement under varying topographic areas. The study is conducted in Klaten District, covering 401 villages in the district. A survey method is secondary data analysis. Data are analyzed statistically using T test, varians analysis, correlation, and multiple regresion. The research shows that there is no significant differences in distribution patterns of settlement between the Merapi volcanic slope, the lowland, and the hilly zone. Physical factors are not significantly influencing the distribution patterns of settlement in various topographic zone. A neglegible ifference in the index distribution pattern of settlement can be observed. Hilly zone of the district reveals an index of 0.959. lower than those in the volcanis slope (1.035) and in low land (1.058). distribution patterns of settlement in various topographi zone are ditermine by different sets of socio-economic variables. In the volcanic zone two variables i.e. population density and the portion of sawah area are strongly influencing the distribution patterns of settlement. In this zone population density contributes more than the sawh area. Where as in the low land areas housing density dictates the distribution patterns of settlement. Other variables such as population density, road density, and utilities are less significantly influencing settlement patterns in the low land areas. The same relation between settlement pattern and housing density is also obvious in the distribution patterns of settlement in this hill. In general distribution patterns of settlement in the district are ontrolled by housing density, population density and road density. The higher housing densities, the distribution of hamlets are more spread. The same relation applies to population density. The higher road density the more clustered is the distribution patterns of settleent can be observed in the fast growing areas, rather than the opposite. No differences in distribution patterns of settlement can be observed among development unit areas (SWP) in the district.

Abstract

The term of acid rain is referred to the mean rainfall with a pH less than 5.65. The element of SOx and NOx are the major sources of acid rain. These two elements are oxidized into S04 and N03 respectively in the air. Sulfate and nitrate are water soluble and the primary sources of hydrogen ions in acid precipitation. Rain passing through a tree canopy may lose or gain mineral elements through some combination of natural process of absorption and leaching. By this process, the canopy may reduce rainfall acidity and negative effects of the acid rain which will enter into the soil. Due to characteristic differences among tree canopies, a study to evaluate effectiveness of the trees in reducing rainfall acidity was done. In this study, rainfall and through fall were collected every single rain and the pH measured by portable pH-meter. Based on data collection during 3 months in Medan Industrial Estate, it found that the mean pH of rainfall was 5, 15. The highest pH of through fall was found from Gnetum gnemon, that was 5.70, following by Mimusops elengi, Filicium decipiens, Adacia mangium and the lowest was Nephelium lappacum. G. gnemon was able to reduce 11% of rainfall acidity, but N. lappacum caused 13 %increasing rainfall acidity. In this study, the main source of rainfall acidity was hydrogen from sulfate acid (54%), following by chloride acid (30%) and nitrate acid (16%).

Abstract

There are three objectives of this research. First, to calculate the potency of groundwater in Bantul District, second, to calculate the utilization for non agricultural usage and third, to analyze the safe yield of groundwater exploitation for non agricultural usage. To achieve these objectives, groundwater potency is calculated by static method, i.e. by multiplying area width, aquifer thickness and specific yield. Non Agricultural usage is determined by calculating the water utilization for domestic, industry, hotel and livestock. Safe yield is calculated base on area width, groundwater fluctuation and its specific yield. The groundwater resources potency of research area that has area width 506,85 km², amounted 10.059.393.198 m³/year, whereas the safe yield is 260.365.868 m³/year. Water utilization for domestic, industry, hotel and livestock is 21.658.541 m³/year. Reviewed number of potency and utilization, the potency of groundwater in the research area is still able to meet its water needs for non agricultural because the usage have not exceeded its safe yield. Although the groundwater potency is high, the agricultural sector in Bantul District does not use groundwater resources significantly.
