Peranan Sistem Informasi Geografi dalam Pengelolaan Sumber Daya Hutan di Indonesia
Eksploitasi sumberdaya hutan yang berlangsung secara cepat perlu diimbangi dengan pengelolaan yang cukup baik agar sumberdaya yang tersedia tidak punah. Pengelolaan sumberdaya yang dilakukan secara konvensional akan menyita waktu, biaya dan tenaga disamping sulit diperoleh keseragaman data. Dengan dikembangkannya teknologi sistem informasi geografi (GIS/SIG) diharapkan dapat membantu pengelolaan sumberdaya hutan yang ada yang akhirnya akan mempermudah pemanfaatan sumberdaya yang tersedia secara optimal
Development and Evaluation of Web GIS Application for Groundwater Management of Karanganyar Regency
This research aims to develop and evaluate a geospatial application for groundwater resource management at Karanganyar Regency. The system development methodology from Whitten and Bentley (2007) was used in this research. To initiate the project, we discussed with the stakeholders from Karanganyar Regency which came from various related agencies followed by a focus group discussion (FGD) to analyse the system. Computational design and experiment were conducted to design the system prototype. Finally, we implement the system in the Regency. The result shows that the system is complex not only due to the managerial procedures but also the number of involved users (stakeholder) in the system. To address the emerged requirements from the FGD, we propose and develop a web-based GIS application with current open source technology and Google Map API which can be used for collaboration among stakeholders as well as for supporting the decision support purpose in the groundwater management. Currently, Air-tanah, the prototype of the application is available at http://geografi.ums.ac.id/air-tanah/. Both quantitative and qualitative evaluation of the system resulted good responses from the users
The Distribution of Salted Groundwater and the Impact to Settlement Areas in Grogol Sub District
This research is aimed at studying the ground water salinity and the geographicaal aspect of Grogol subdistrict area. This study, therefore, dials withs (a) the ground water salinity and the factors influencing; (b) the classes of land suitability for settlement in Grogol subdistrict; and (c) the influences of the ground water salinity to the suitability of sattlement areas. This research put its emphasis on the geomorphological approach and uses lends units as the basis of its studt. The research area consists of four landform units and nine land units. From land unit maps, we can make the distribution maps of the ground water salinity and its influences to the suitability between settlement and the level suitability for settlement data. The ground water salinity data are obtained by measuring in the field and laboratory analysis. The result of this research shows that the distribution of the ground water salinity is located in the landform unit of the old floid and in the deposition processes. The distribution of the ground water salinity in the research area does not influence the growth pattern of settlement but influences the physical building
Masalah Penyediaan Lahan dalam Pengembangan Kota
Masalah di perkotaan sesungguhnya berakar dari keterbatasan penyediaan lahan. Di lain pihak permintaan akan lahan semakin bertambah sejalan dengan pertambahan jumlah penduduk dan aktifitas perkotaan. Masalah yang muncul kemudian adalah harga laban yang meningkat dengan cepat diikuti dengan munculnya spekulan-spekulan lahan, merebaknya konflik sosial sebagai akibat dari penggusuran dan pembebasan tanah serta konflik kepentingan masing-masing sektoral dalam penggunaan lahan. Oleh karena masalah lahan di perkotaan demikian komplek, maka diperlukan strategi yang terpadu dan menyeluruh yang dapat mengakomodasikan berbagai kepentingan masyarakat dan aspek terkait yang diperlukan
Penyediaan Air untuk Keperluan Domestik di Daerah Pedesaan Sekitar Phnom Penh Kamboja
Air bersih dan sanitasi merupakan kebutuhan utama penduduk, namun hal terebut masih merupakan masalab yang pelik di daerah-daerah pedesaan negara-negara Kamboja. Selain termasuk negara berkembang, saat ini negar itu masih dalam situasi pasca perang yang berkepanjangan. Penyediaan air yang teramati di daerab pedesaan sekitar Khum Vilei, Distrik Kompisei, Propinsi Kompong Speau, merupakan salah satu contoh penyediaan air bersih dan sanitasi bagi masyarakat di daerah pedesaan yang perlu mendapat perhatian. Sumber air untuk keperluan domestik diperoleh dari berbagai sumber, yaitu dari air hujan, air permukaan (sungai, rawa dan genangan atau kolam), dan air tanah. Air untuk keperluan domestik diperoleh dengan teknik sederhana, babkan kadang-kadang memperhatikan aspek kesehatan masyarakat. Air tersebut didapatkan dari air hujan, air permukaan dan air tanah. Sebelum digunakan (khususnya untuk masak dan minum) ditampung dan disimpan dahulu dengan tempayan khas daerah yang bersangkutan. Dalam penyediaan air bersih di daerah pedesaan faktor penguasaan teknologi dan dana yang dimiliki penduduk setempat sangat menentukan. Perang yang berkepanjangan mengakibatkan kondisi sosial ekonomi masyarakat pedesaan sangat memprihatinkan, sehingga tidak sempat memikirkan perbaikan sarana sanitasi dan masalah yang berkaitan dengan penyediaan air bersih. Hal ini membawa kepada situasi dimana penduduk menggunakan air apa adanya tanpa memperhatikan kualitasnya, dan sering tanpa memikirkan aspek kesehatan. Hal ini harus diperhatikan dalam melakukan perbaikan dan pengadaan sarana air bersih dan sanitasi di daerah pedesaan negara tersebut
Pekerja di Sektor Perdagangan pada Ekonomi Skala Kecil Desa Caturtunggal Depok Sleman
Penelitian ini membahas pekerja di sektor perdagangan pada ekonomi skala kecil di Desa Caturtunggal, Kecamatan Depok, Kabupaten Sleman. Sektor perdagangan pada ekonomi skala kecil menjadi menarik, karena banyaknya pekerja yang dimanfaatkan dan produktivitasnya sampai batas tertentu meningkat pula. Hasil penelitian mengungkapkan bahwa pada sektor perdagangan pada ekonomi skala kecil ini dapat menyerap pekerja pendatang dan pekerja asli Desa Caturtunggal. Dengan membedakan perdagangan menjadi tiga kelompok, yakni usaha rumah tangga, menetap dan keliling, diperoleh bukti bahwa perdagangan usaha rumah tangga dan menetap banyak dilakukan pekerja asli Desa Caturlunggal (67 persen) dan pedagang keliling banyak dilakukan oleb para pendatang (68 persen). Dua pertiga pekerja di bidang perdagangan ini terdiri dari wanita. Sebagian besar dari mereka mengelompok pada usaha rumab tangga dan usaba menetap. Dilibat dari usia para pekerja, usaha perdagangan menetap lebib tua dibandingkan dengan usaha rumah tangga dan keliling. Hampir separo pekerja pada usaha perdagangan terdiri dari para pendatang. Strategi untuk memperoleh pendapatan yang meningkat usaha perdagangan pada ekonomi skala kecil terpaksa ditempuh dengan jalan memperpanjang jumlah jam kerja dan jumlah pekerja yang terlibat. Meskipun bila dilihat dari jumlah satuan jam kerja dan jumlah yang terlibat tidak menguntungkan, namun hal itu kadang-kadang tetap dilakukan, sehingga produktivitas usaha perdagangan pada ekonomi skala kecil tetap rendah tercermin pada pendapatan
Geomorfological Study on the Evaluation of Critical Land in Cepogo, Boyolali, Central Java Province
Land is natural resources within processing needs to the wise action in order to give good returns for human and being prevented it’s conservation. In the utility of it’s land this land is proper to the agriculture land have sometime emergedthe environment problems, namely the balance of nature is disturbed. It doesn’t mean that land is forbidden to use, but in the it’s utility purposes this land must be considered it’s capability or it’s balance. If form and manner of using this land doesn’t disturb the natural balance, it means to be guaranted. In the countrary, if form and remain to be guaranted. In the contrary, if form and manner of using this land disregard with it’s capability, then the natural balance is disturbed, the land is called asland within dangerous condition or critical land. The coresponding problem that arises in Kecamatan Cepogo under Boyolali district on the surface level land and southern land resembles the critical land that the most erosion appearance can be found assuch sheet erosion, gully erosion, erosion in the other side, vallage forest, settlement land. Mixing estate and the infertile land. This recent exploration purpose is to understand physical factor that affects the critical land as well as to collect and to clarity the critical land. The used method is survey and laboratory analysis by land unit approach ascartography unit. The adopted data of this research is used the effectively width of soil, texture, soil permeability, soil slope, and soil appearance. From this research is understood that the explorated land has three critical land levels, namely; the medium critical land level is 4411,09 are or 17,48%, the wight critical soil level is 7909,74 are or 12,86% of the whole exploration area wide
Spatial Analysis of Macro Economic in Central Java (PDRB Analysis in Year 1993-2003)
This paper aims to study the spatial analysis macroeconomics condition in central Java from 1993-2001 base on PDRB analysis. Central Java stands in the last position in the economic in Central Java based on PDRB variable and economic growth is in the lowest category in the comparation with another provinces in Java. This is reason why Central Java is categorized as "LL" (Low low). One of the prime sectors in Central Java is small medium scale enterprises which is dominated 30% of national market, but since the economic crisis stroke in 1997 the manufacture sector, especially industry and processing had collapse. In 1996-1997, the level of manufacture growth increased to 14.4% but then decreased until minus 19.3%. This condition caused by bankruptcy to many of the industries. The poverty profile in Central Java from 1999-2003 is average 23.3% from the total population every years. Central Java stepping to number 2 in level of poverty absolute number 1. In poverty relativity level, Central Java became number 1 in Java from 2002-2003 with the level of poverty reached above the national average. This fact shows the unsuccessfully effort in reducing the poverty level
Spatial Analysis of Existing Public Open Space for Evacuation Area During Secondary Earthquake; A Case Study: Sukahaji Village, Bandung
Population living in highly densed settlements in urban area is considered vulnerable to earthquake risk due to limited space exists in the area. To reduce population risks to aftershock earthquake in highly dense settlements, this paper applied simple simulation based on supply-demand concepts in order to understand carrying capacity of current open space for people to evacuate. The case study takes place in one of the most densed populated areas in Bandung City under aftershock earthquake.. The research integrates multi-sources of data: sattelite image, building footprint and GPS field survey to produce detailed landuse. The results show that open spaces that exist in the study area is not able to contain all residents when an aftershock occurs. Finally, this paper recommends some strategies that are necessary to reduce the risks in highly densed urban areas
The Poverty in Indonesia: Concept, Approach, and the Reduction Strategies
Apparently, the policy of raise poverly in Indonesia start to change. In PJPT I, the strategy to raise the poverly acupied the position “Side stream of development” only. That is, the effort to raise the poverly only applied the components of macro economic policy to maintain the growth of the economy in high position. In PJPT II this effort occupy the position “main stream of development”. That is, not only does the effort depend on “trickle down effect’, but also through direct attack that concern to destitude people. The poverly phenomenon is complex problem and multidimensional, that’s not merely concern with welfare aspect (materially). Therefore, in order to the raising of poverly run effectively, we have to look the dimension of poverly as a whole. Complexity of poverly problems vary from place to place. Therefore, it is needed an accurate strategy and it must consider the characteristic of poverly and the potency that suitable to be developed.
