Abstrack:

Yogyakarta only has one artificial lake, which is Sermo reservoir. Sermo reservoir has many functions, among others, is to provide raw materials of drinking water, irrigation, agriculture, fisheries, and tourism. Sermo reservoir fisheries used to be very beneficial for the local people. After the emergence of invasive species, Red Devil, the yield of the fisheries declined dramatically. This study aims to assess the ecological threat of invasive fish species in Sermo reservoir and the potential economic value gained from local people of this fish. The information about ecological threat and economic value from this fish is assessed using indepth interview with local people and secondary data from other sources. The results indicating that fishery in Sermo were very beneficial for the local people in the past. Around 1995, Red Devil fish accidentally entered to the Sermo Reservoir and dominating the system. The Red Devil prey on other commercial fish. The impact of inclusion Red Devil fish in Sermo reservoir is the number of fish obtained by local people has declined.

Farmers? Adaptation to Climate Change in Wonogiri, Indonesia

Abstrack:

Climate change has serious consequences, especially for developing countries, which depend strongly on natural resources for food, water and shelter (FAO 2010). The effects of each manifestation of climate change can bring opportunities to some communities and problems to others. Different societies respond to the consequences of climate change according to different patterns of adaptability. Different forms of local adaptation offer examples of how societies innovate in coping with threat, and the interactions between ecosystems and humans become key issues to identify and develop (Takeuchi 2012; Irham 2012). There is a strong relation between adaptation, resilience and sustainability. Resilience is the ability to persist and adapt in order to achieve sustainability. But resilience and sustainability need preemptive action on emerging risks, to avoid vulnerability and to provide ecological integrity (Hahn et al. 2009). Enhancing resilience means increasing communities? adaptability while reducing vulnerability, risk and uncertainty. Acceleration of economic development has a strong relation with the increase of such problems. Many studies have examined the impact of climate change on biological production, water availability, temperature and other factors. But few studies have examined how traditional societies understand climate change and how they are coping with the consequences (Olsson 2003; Takeuchi 2012). This study will contribute to understanding how climate change is defined from different perspectives by examining farmers? experiences of climate change in relation to their farming activities. The objectives of this study were (1) to understand farmers? perceptions of climate change in the upland area, (2) to see how the farmers adapt to cope with climate change. The study was conducted in Wonogiri, in an upland and lowland area. read more

Abstrack:

Relocation mostly one of government?s policies posts to a natural disaster. Conceptually, relocation process means to migrate people from potentially hazard area to the safe area. In fact, government only facilitates basic people?s need such as; temporary camps, bathing room and praying room. In further, this new social system means to be constructed by the society itself and consequently raise adaptation, interaction, and establishment of new social system. Regarding those cases, I studied on how people reconstruct their new social system within new social context. In addition, I will disseminate types of their social interaction practices referring to ?Constitution of society? by Anthony Giddens. In specific, I permeate how women groups collaboratively and cooperatively play a role to reconstruct their social system through various women activities such as; Muslimatan, PKK, Arisan, and Dasa Wisma to maintain social system sustainability. These religious social activities mean to be able to establish and rebuild an appropriate social system. read more

Malaria Vulnerability Index (MVI) as Models of Malaria Risk Analyze in Purworejo, Indonesia

Abstrack:

Purworejo’s landscape was composed the coastal and hilly regions, endemic malaria diseases, influences of global climate change. The Annual Parasite Incidence (API) fluctuated of 5 years later, at range 0,45-0,57, increased to 1,12 on 2011th. Suitability of habitat conditions determines a species distribution in space and time. Understanding and modeling the influences of breeding and resting quality and mosquito vector can, therefore, be a powerful predictor of the risk of exposure to the pathogens they transmit. Breeding and resting mosquito were sampled 34 villages covering settings available. Classified Random Sampling was designed base on topographic with 100m intervals. The influences of 11 parameters of breeding and resting place, 7 of social economic variable and topographic variables on mosquito densities was assessed by multivariate correlation. The Observation going on 4 period, wet season, intermediate, dry season and intermediate. Using Mathematic models to evaluated the breeding place and resting variable as potential risk to mosquito abundant, declared as MVI. Nine species were fond : An.balabaensis; An.aconitus; An.barbirostris; An.vagus; An.anullaris; An.kochi; An.maculatus; An.indifinitus; An.subpictus, distributed at 82.35% of the total village, more species number collected than the research before. The highest vector density was 3.40 sp/man/hour (intermediate season), and the highest vector density 3.96 sp/man/hour (dry season). The environmental factors have significant related to vector densities were pH, total suspended solid, salinity, dissolved oxygen, chloride, temperature, humidity. The mathematics modeling, MVI = IPH + I PE + I AC + IS The impact of the global climate change on dynamics malaria vector, increased from 5 to 9 species. Malaria Vulnerability Index (MVI) shows that there are a total of 14 regions (41%) with a no-risk category (NR) and 4 (12%) with a very low risk (VLR). Areas with very high risk (HR) cover 8 areas (23%), intermediate risk (MR) as much as 3 areas (9%) and low risk (LR) by 5 regions (15%). MVI change throughout the seasons. read more

Agritourism has created employment and business opportunities for the communities around the destination, especially women. However, there are also gender discrimination in the labor market tourism industry employment. Development of the tourism industry can not be separated from the social construction of gender roles culturally given, position, and natural differences between men and women. The implication of a labor gender division refers to the socially constructed stereotypes culture. Other impacts of agritourism development on the dual role of women in tourism destinations where there are claims of women who were involved in the sector of employment/business tourism (public) shall also remain responsible for domestic role (household). While in men there is a dual role. Thereby, the increasing of tourism development is strengthening gender construction that has developed in the community. The tourism leads strereotipe of job characteristics appropriate/suitable for women and men who eventually gave birth to segregation work. The construction of gender in the agritourism sector is influenced by the pattern of recruitment of male-dominated as an officer, which in it contains a perception of bias about men and women. The recruitment consequently produces different groupings of job tipe and positions in both men and women. Types of small business development in Batu also affect women’s employment. Women are considered better to work in small industries due to small industry characteristics is suitable for women. read more
