Dieng Plateau is a leading tourist spot in Central Java, only the second place to Borobudur Temple. It is situated between two regencies, Banjarnegara and Wonosobo. Municipal governments of these regencies have already issued a policy on area spatial management plan, which governs a conservation of protected area functions. The legal statement of this plan is written down on the Municipal Government Act No. 11/2011-2031. This research applied a qualitative method in order to answer questions of the implementation of the policy on protected forest conservation in Dieng Plateau. Informants used for this research were collected by a purposive sampling technique. The research found phenomena dealing with the implementation and factors that inhibited the policy of the protected area conservation in Dieng Plateau. The policy has a purpose of restoring protective functions as nature should play its role. The policy involves concerned actors, such as Bappeda, Dinas Kehutanan dan Perkebunan, Dinas Pertanian, Badan Lingkungan Hidup, community leaders, and local farmers in Dieng area. The implementation communicated by each of these institutions has not been optimal because of sectoral egoism, lacking participation of local people, and lacking regulations that govern the protected area conservation. Parts of the area are still possessed by individuals and some local people are reluctant to a change in atttude towards excessive potato plantation, despite the plantation belongs to themselves. The research recommends legal assurance, which governs protected area conservation in individually-owned areas and an appropriate program that relocates the potato plantation without diminishing economic income of the farmers. read more

Sermo reservoir is the only artificial lake found in Yogyakarta. It is a multipurpose reservoir which control water supply for domestic use, fishery, and agriculture, beside tourism. Tourism in Sermo on one hand could be developed; on the other hand there is an uncertainty about its environmental impact. The purposes of this paper are to identify the potency and problem of developing Sermo reservoir as a tourism area, study the contribution of tourism to the local people, and analyze socio-economic impact of tourism in Sermo. Potency and contribution of tourism is assessed using questionnaire to local people and visitors. Key persons and government agencies were interviewed to get deep understanding and insight about Sermo tourism management. We also observed local people activities around the study area to evaluate some social issues related to tourism. Respondent see Sermo has a high potency to develop tourism ?peaceful and natural atmosphere, beautiful scenery, and friendly people. But, lack of adequate facility such as sanitary and toilet, mosque, tour guide, souvenir shop, restaurant, and local culinary shop might become an obstacle. The need to educate local people and improve supporting facility like website and direction guide is also important to promote Sermo. Tourism development expands local people economic in certain rate. But, as a side effect, people concern about some negative impact such as an increasing number of immoral activities and disappearing of some custom. To develop Sermo reservoir precautionary principle must be employed to ensure the sustainability of the reservoir. read more

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. Red Devil fish is lucrative for sale, so the local people using this fish for feeding duck. In addition to the ecological threat caused by Red Devil fish, the fish was also bring economic benefits to the home industry of local people. Local people take advantage of this fish for making crispy-fried fish. These efforts have constraints in marketing. Therefore the role of government is necessary in helping the home industry in order to optimize profits for local people. read more

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

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

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

This article examines the construction of gender in employment in the tourism industry and analyzes the factors that influence the construction of gender in tourism employment. Thus from this papers are expected to provide an overview of gender construction contained in the tourism industry, as an input to the stakeholders the decision to formulate basic policy/program development of tourism. This study used a qualitative approach to get a holistic description of the research problem. The research location was in Batu City as one of the icons of the tourism industry in East Java. Targets consisted of two spectra that individuals and institutions. Data retrieval is done by in-depth interviews, observation and use of documents/secondary data. Data analysis was performed using content analysis (content analysis). Agritourism industry is creating a network of upstream and downstream industry of a long and complex (variegated), most of which are labor-intensive. 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
