Alternative Ways to Control Fertility in Indonesia
No full textAn effort for reducing fertility in developing countries like Indonesia, is a real initiative to decrease the population growth rate. The succes of family planning programme in reducing fertility of Indonesia, has been confessed by UNO, and as a result, president Suharto has been rewarded a United Nation Population Award. Besides it is considered to make another effort beyond family planning programmes, among other things are: to raise age of marriage, future cousciousness, moral, and health education. Those programmes can be carried out through formal and informal education as well. The aim of family planning programme is to create a small family of lawful marriage and have heredity. In order to have a quantity and a good quality of heredity we are likely to become, then, there should be a planning of giving birth. Nevertheless, campaign motivation to raise age of marriage for young generation in rural as well as in urban, is one of the main efforts to reduce fertility rates
Urban Graveyard in Spatial Change Perspective
No full textThe growth of urban population tends to increase constantly but some towns show faster growth than others. Ultimately the urban area extends tremendously, and a new urban environment is created. Graveyard is one phenomenon that an not be neglected from this process. Duc to their strategic locations, some portions have undergone changes in economic, social, and environment values. For the time being lands used for graveyards are constantly increasing. The competition with other uses can not be avoided anyway and land conservation must be carried out concomitantly

The results shows that the area affected by the tsunami inundation run-up height, slope and land use. In the run-up to 30 meters, flooded areas are about 3,148.99 hectares or 20.7% of the total area of the city of Bengkulu
Potential Economic Losses Due to Tidal Inundation and Flood at Semarang City
Get PDFCoastal city of Semarang is susceptible to the impact of coastal hazard due to its flat topographic condition. Various environmental problems are faced by Semarang involve tidal inundation, land subsidence, and floods during rainy season. This study was conducted to examine the potential economic losses caused by the sea level rise phenomenon. Distribution of inundated area mapped using Digital Elevation Model and Land Subsidence data. The Scenarios of International Panel on Climate Change (2007) sea level rises used to build a model of inundated area that notes by 2030 the rise of sea level rise at 13.4 cm. The inundated map was overlayed with landuse map to calculate the potential economic losses. The results show that the inundated area that occurred in 2030 was 1,718.2 ha with the potential economic losses Rp. 6,130 trillion. With the land subsidence scenario that happen at the area, inundated area increased to 5,171.3 ha with the eonomic potential loss about Rp. 28,724 trillion
Loan as Rural Development Support Case in Sudokarto, Godean, Sleman District DIY
No full textThis reseach is excecuted in Sidokarto village Godean Subdistrial, Kabupaten Sleman, special province of Yogyakarta, and is derived from the question of how rural community uses formal and in-formal failities of lend institution (credits source) that are available in their villages. Are the debts affecting the income of rural community? The aim of this research is to find out the back ground of rural community life, public choice to decide creditor, and the income of family holder. Methodology applied in the research is a surveying methode. The seletion of the region was executed in purposive sampling tehnique and the respondents were randomly selected. The respondents were the heads of family as debtors who have taken the credit from either government or private. Analysis used in this research was frequency tabulation, cross tabulation and analysis of correlation is done by using product moment technique. The result proved that most of the debtors (more than 50%) are non peasant with low-rank education (passed and dropped out of elementary schools). Among the debtors, the greater part (93.55%), have used the formal merits i.e. KUD and BRI. Debtor's choice of lend institution is in fluenced by aspect of location and the ease of service. It is proved that the more debtors live near to the lend institution, the quality of the debtors will increase. The reason why credit source is used is influenced by the question whether it is easy or not to get the debt, without taking notice of rent, although it is low enough. The result also proved that, for the greater part of debtors have used the debt money to increase the capital for non agricultural ativities
Analysis of Water Availability Model of Ngunut Sub-Watershed, Upper Bengawan Solo
No full textThe aims of this research is 1) formulating a model for water availability in order to know the input-output process in Ngunut Sub Watershed; 2) knowing the condition of water availability components for each landuse; 3) determining the best alternative landuse in Ngunut sub watershed. Data used in this researh were mean rainfall and temperature in ten years, water content in soil, groundwater flow, crop coefisien, landuse area, and the agricultural production value. There are 3 main outcomes of this research. The first, one is in form of software, concerning the water availability model in Ngunut Sub watershed. The second outcome, for mixed plantation, infiltration, water storage, and percolation had high values but surface runoff has a low value. For the rice field, evapotranspiration has the highest value, with interception, infiltration, and water storage having low values. For the dry fields; interception had the highest value. For the settlement, surface runoff had the biggest value. The third outcome, is that the landuse changes from irrigated rice fields and dry fields to form of mixed plantations, constitute the best alternatives in the spatial organization of Ngunut watershed, whose values are high
