Redesigning More Resilent Sahana System For Disaster Information In Indonesia
No full textThis application is a disaster information system in Indonesia using Sahana platform that has many unique features of the integration Sahana disaster with some applications that have been built independently in the previous year of mudflow in Sidoarjo, Solo in Bojonegoro Flood, and Forest Fires in Kalimantan. Addition, this application provides a virtual feature class that is learning GIS and Sahana, complete with an online test and the results. Since the system is web-based, then use the appropriate technology that is MapServer as web server, php, html, and javascript as a system builder and PostgreSQL for data storage. To improve the security of these applications also added SSL and Mod Security. SSL to secure data line and mod security to prevent attacks SQL Injection and Cross Site Scripting. Two of these securities will keep the system from attack, so the important data such as victims of disasters, infrastructure and map safe. With this integration, these applications into a complete information system, safely and in accordance with local conditions of each disaster.

Sahana Udupa: Making News in Global India: Media, Publics, Politics (Cambridge University Press, 2015)
No full textWhat role does Bangalore's private news culture play in shaping the southern Indian metropolis' ongoing urban transformation? Sahana Udupa's new book Making News in Global India: Media, Publics, Politics (Cambridge University Press, 2015) answers this question through a fascinating and fine grained ethnography of the city's bi-lingual news media. Exploring differences amongst the English language and local language press, class-based civic activism, novelties in news room practices and layers of journalistic identities the book shows the ways in which a certain type of aspiration that has come to characterize some news outlets, conflicts and contends with the visibility of local urban cultures and the struggle for dominance amongst different actors in the news field
Analyzes of genome-wide association follow-up study for calving traits in dairy cattle
No full textConclusions: The follow-up study for GWAS in cattle will depend on the aim of the study. If the aim is to discover novel QTL, analyses of the COMB dataset is recommended, while in case of identification of the causal mutation underlying a QTL, confirmation of the discovered SNPs are necessary to avoid following a false positive

MEMBANGUN GIS SERVER UNTUK INTEGRASI APLIKASI GDMS MENGGUNAKAN SAHANA
No full textPada proyek akhir ini dibuat suatu sistem integrasi dari beberapa bencana yang ada di Indonesia. Bencana tersebut adalah bencana lumpur lapindo Sidoarjo, kebakaran hutan Kalimantan dan Banjir Bojonegoro. Dari data shp setiap wilayah bencana tersebut dibuatkan template engine untuk meload setiap data shp secara struktur sesuai data yang ada. Setelah template engine untuk shp telah dibuat maka diintegrasikan dengan Sahana. Sebelumnya Sahana sendiri adalah sebuah aplikasi yang menangani manajemen bencana, namun dalam kenyataannya masih belum mampu menyajikan data bertipe shp yang banyak digunakan untuk SIG bencana yang ada. Dengan menggunakan Sahana yang telah terintegrasi dengan template engine shp maka diharapkan mampu meningkatkan performasi dari Sahana tersendiri untuk menangani bencana yang ada di Indonesia. Karena sistem ini berbasis web, maka digunakan teknologi yang sesuai yaitu MapServer sebagai web server, php, html, dan javascript sebagai pembangun sistem dan basisdata PostgreSQL sebagai penyimpan data. Untuk meningkatkan keamanan dari aplikasi ini juga ditambahkan SSL dan Mod Security Apache. SSL untuk mengamankan jalur data dan mod security untuk mencegah serangan SQL Injection dan Cross Site Scripting. Dengan tambahan dua sekuritas tersebut akan menjaga sistem yang dibangun dari serangan sehingga data penting seperti korban bencana, infrastruktur dan map aman
News media and contention over “the local” in urban India
No full textExploring the highly competitive bilingual news field in urban India, I illustrate how localization of news content has led to conflictual discourses around who should constitute “the loca
Where is the peri-urban?:a working definition and global typology
No full textAs the fastest expanding land use globally is the peri-urban, this raises new challenges and insights for urban research and policy. The peri-urban is very broadly, the area between urban and rural, or in the outer gravity field of urban areas: in more detail, there are many definitions, such as by population density, economic activity, travel patterns, urban infrastructure, land cover, or bio-regions. The present chapter starts with an overview and conceptual framework and then sets out the definitions developed by the Peri-cene project ([email protected]). Building on the international classifications of GHSL / OECD, this proposes a working definition for peri-urban areas: within the “functional urban area” (FUA), areas with population densities of 0–300 pp/km2, and outside the FUA, with 50–300 pp/km2. This definition then covers a very wide range of types: from the high-density desakotas (urban-rural combinations) of South East Asia to the extended sprawl and “edge cities” of the North American model. Secondly, we apply these definitions to a sample of 21 city regions, covering 10% of the global urban population. Extrapolating from the sample, total peri-urban land around the world could be in the order of 1.8 million km2 with a growth rate of 3% per annum. Thirdly, we set up a global typology that overlays macro-scale changes on peri-urban land use, population, social inequality, climate risk, vulnerabilities, and governance capacity. From this sample, distinct peri-urban types can be highlighted for further investigation. Fourth, we look at the internal structure of each city-region, via a series of analytic maps, charting by density bands the 25-year growth of peri-urban areas, with a typology of urban restructuring. The chapter concludes with a further research agenda on this very topical issue of the peri-urban
Ushahidi and Sahana Eden Open-Source Platforms to Assist Disaster Relief: Geospatial Components and Capabilities
No full textIn responses to recent large-scale disaster events, huge amount of ground information have been collected in addition to the synoptic views from satellite images. Different platforms have been in place to facilitate the collection and management of such critical location-based information from the crowd. This study investigated the current implementation of geospatial components and their capabilities in open-source platforms, particularly Ushahidi and Sahana Eden. Using the 2011 Christchurch earthquake data and following the four main functions of a geo-info system: Data input, Geospatial analysis, Data management, and Visualization, the performance of geospatial-components were evaluated by a group of users. The result showed that with rich visualization on interactive map both Sahana Eden and Ushahidi enable emergency managers to track the needs of disaster-affected people. While Ushahidi can only filter incidents records by time or category, geospatial data management of Sahana Eden is proven to be more powerful, allowing emergency managers input different geospatial data such as incidents, organizations, human resource, warehouses, hospitals, shelters, assets, and projects and visualizing all of these features on a map. It also helps to simplify the coordination among aids agencies. However, geospatial analysis is the limitation of both platforms. The findings recommended that data input with more variety of formats and more geospatial analysis functions should be added. Further research will expand to more case studies taking into account the requirements of disaster management practitioners and emergency responders.</p
