Reog Ponorogo:Antara Identitas, Komoditas, Dan Resistensi

ABSTRAK Pemerintah Indonesia menetapkan tahun 1998 adalah Tahun Seni dan Budaya sebagai sebuah identitas bangsa dan mengembangkan pariwisata Indonesia. Legitimasi penetapan itu diwujudkan pula dengan dibentuknya Departemen Pariwisata, Seni, dan Budaya. Realitas itu menjadikan kebudayaan berada dalam dua label yang berbeda, yakni label "Pendidikan" dalam Departemen Pendidikan dan Kebudayaan, sedang yang lain berlabel "Kepribadian Nasional" dan "Pariwisata" yang diwadahi oleh Departemen Pariwisata. Oleh karena itulah, seni dan (ke)budaya(an) menjadi objek tarik-menarik dari dua lolcomotif besar, Ideologi dan Ekonomi. Dalam tataran idealitas sebenarnya tidak ada pertentangan antara kesenian sebagai "tontonan" dan kesenian sebagai "tuntunan". Namun demikian, logika ekonomi sebagai motor bagi kesenian dalamfungsinya sebagai tontonan tidak selalu sejalan dengan seni sebagai tuntunan. Hubungan tank-menarik antara kepentingan ideologi tersebut dialami oleh kesenian tradisional, salah satunya adalah Reog Ponorogo. Penelitian ini didasarkan pada studi kasus kebijakan pariwisata Pemda Ponorogo dalam program kesenian

KONDISI HUTAN BAKAU TEBANGAN MASYARAKAT DAN INDUSTRI PULP DI BATU AMPAR KALIMANTAN BARAT

The purpose of this research was to study tree cutting of mangrove forest by the local people of Batu Ampar and the pulp industry at Kapuas river estuary. At each site the rapid measurement methods were established using quadrate plots of 20m x 20m and 5m x 5m, each with 2 replicates. The results revealed that the local people only cut the selective trees of Rhizophora apiculata and Bruguiera gymnorhiza with diameter of 20-25 cm2 at 0.25 ha wide, which created gap canopy as small disturbace to the mangrove forest. This area of gap canopy immediately was colonized and dominated by R. apiculata. The mangrove tree cuttings created the phase gap generations. This forest recovered quickly, thus the small distrurbance maintained the mangrove tree species diversity. The Rhizophora roots were habitat for nusery grown of larval shrimps, crabs, and fishes. The pulp industry cut all of the mangrove species wich created big disturbance and huge gap area. The forest also recovered quickly, but was dominated by Xylocarpus granatum. Thus, the big disturbance by the pulp industry caused the shifted species of the mangrove forest species from Rhizophora and Bruguiera to Xylocarpus. The roots of Xylocarpus tree were not habitat forthelarval shrimps, crabs, and fishes, which decreased the fisherman catch. The forest rehabilitation of industrial cutting was planted regularly with Rhizophora, and created many current canals which proned to the erosion. Thus the pulp industry of mangrove forest cutting threatened nursery habitat and species diversity at the mangrove forest of Batu Ampar

MEMANEN HUJAN MENYEMAI KEHIDUPAN: Studi Dinamika Pengetahuan Pertanian Lahan Tadah hujan dalam Merespon Kekeringan pada Petani Alumni Sekolah Lapang Iklim

As it based on the experience of agricultural knowledge that has been done in decades,  most of farmers still could not answer some of the agricultural problems, especially in  terms of dryness that affect water availability for agricultural purposes.    This research is a description of daily life of farmers who graduated from Climate Field  Schools  (SLI),  who  live  in  the  hamlet  Wareng  IV,  Wareng  Village,  District  Wonosari,  Gunungkidul Regency, Yogyakarta Province. This research aims to obtain an explanation  of  how  dialetika  local  knowledge  and  the  introduction  of  new  knowledge  of  SLI  in  overcoming the limitations of water that affect the sustainability of rainfed agriculture.    The  research  method  is  primaly  qualitative  gained  through  observation  and  in�depth  interviews  in  addition  to  this  method  an  extensive  reading  on  documentary  evidence  has been done.     Meanwhile, the analysis of the data findings has also sharpened by theoretical approach  as connectionism approach which could explain more about the diversity of knowledge  and strategies in response to climate change impact on water availability conditions.    The results of this study indicated that water has an important role in the daily life of  farmers who lived in the Wareng Wareng, South Mountain. Water became an important  part  in  their  life,  even  each  farmer  has  a  different  experience  and  knowledge  in  responding  to  utilize  the  water  in  their  daily  life.  Wareng  farmers  have  variation  of  experiences,  knowledge,  and  abilities  to  manage  rain  water  due  to  the  diversity  of  interpretation  in  understanding  the  events  that  ever  happened  and also  has  made  a  dialectical  thought  regards  to  the  new  knowledge  which  they  already  gained.  New  scientific knowledge which gained through the SLI has enriched the local knowledge of  farmers so that the farmers are capable to respond the climate change issue, especially  when the water suddenly become finite or even become excessive.

Increasing seismic hazard and risk awareness in Central Sulawesi, Indonesia: Seismometers in Schools Pilot Programme

Central Sulawesi is bisected by the Palu-Koru Fault and other nearby faults. Despite numerous earthquakes, there is very little awareness of these fault structures and their potential to cause damage. Through the Strengthened Indonesian Resilience: Reducing Risks from Disasters (StIRRRD) programme, the local Badan Penanggulangan Bencana Daerah (BPBD) in both Donggala and Palu identified a concern about the lack of community knowledge of local seismic hazards and risks. They wish to see an increased awareness of the Palu-Koro Fault using a programme that builds on existing hazard and preparedness programmes in schools. To help achieve this, StIRRRD launched Indonesia’s first pilot Seismometers in Schools (SIS) programme, in partnership with the Badan Meteorologi, Klimatologi, dan Geofisika (BMKG) and Lembaga Ilmu Pengetahuan Indonesia (LIPI), in Central Sulawesi in March 2018. Seismometers in Schools is an education initiative already present in Australia, New Zealand and the United States which involves installing seismometers in schools as a tool to increase awareness of seismic hazards and risks. Information from the seismometers can be analysed by mathematics, physics or geography students to assess earthquakes recorded locally or from around the world. Seismometers have been installed in four schools, SMA Negeri Model Terpadu Madani and MAN 1 in Palu City, SMA N 1 Banawa in Donggala and SMA N 1 Bahadopi in Morowali with a more sophisticated three component device installed at the University of Tadulako, Palu. To compliment the installation, teaching resource packs were gifted and training workshops held with teachers to assist them with better integrating local seismic hazard and risk projects into their curriculums

Farmer’s willingness to accept the sustainable zoning-based organic farming development plan: A lesson from Sleman District, Indonesia

Zoning-based organic farming has become increasingly attractive in Indonesia for producing healthy food, improving the quality of land and the environment, and increasing the welfare of farmers. The problem is that organic farming areas should be certified by a legal agency called the National Standardization Agency and the cost should be paid by farmers in those areas. Zoning allows the farmers to jointly manage farming areas, including payment of certification costs. However, the success of zoning-based organic farming implementation depends on farmers’ acceptability. This study aims to analyse perceptions and knowledge regarding zoning-based organic farming plans, measure the level of farmers’ willingness to accept (WTA) zoning-based organic farming plans and determine the effect of economic, ecological, and social support factors, as well as other factors towards WTA the zoning-based organic farming system. This study found that the majority of farmers perceive zoning-based organic farming as economically viable and ecologically and socially supported compared to conventional farming since most of the farmers have good knowledge regarding the importance of zoning. Although the farmers have long been experiencing conventional farming, the number of WTA farmers in zoning-based organic farming is very high. The study confirmed that the ecological aspect is the most influential in accepting zoning-based organic farming. Economic factors have a very strong influence on increasing farmers’ WTA zoning-based organic farming. This study also suggests that the implementation of zoning-based organic farming needs to be sustainably supported by the community
