Pendekatan Ekonomi Ergonomika untuk Perancangan Optimal Tenaga Kerja dan Mekanisasi pada Produksi Beras Organik

Faktor manusia sebagai tenaga kerja memiliki peranan penting dalam meningkatkan produktivitas beras Organik. Namun, sampai saat ini upah standar untuk pekerja pertanian belum ditentukan oleh lembaga pemerintah, sehingga bisa dikatakan bahwa peran pemerintah terhadap pekerja pertanian masih sangat kurang. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk membuat formulasi berdasarkan analisis ekonomi ergonomika. Berdasarkan produktivitas kerja saat ini, pendekatan ekonomi ergonomika membuktikan bahwa upah yang diperoleh pekerja masih jauh dari standar UMR. Dari dua skenario optimasi yang digunakan, ditemukan bahwa perancangan penambahan mekanisasi secara selektif menggunakan mesin milik sendiri mampu memberikan upah yang optimal karena sudah memenuhi standar UMR Kabupaten Bogor

Pemanfaatan Fusi Data Satelit Lapan-a3/ipb dan Landsat 8 untuk Monitoring Lahan Sawah

Increasing of economic development is generally followed by the change of landuse from agriculture to other function. If it occurs in large frequency and amount, it will threaten national food security. Therefore, it is necessary to monitor the agricultural land, especially paddy fields regarding to changes in landuse and global climate. Utilization and development of satellite technology is necessary to provide more accurate and independent database for agricultural land monitoring, especially paddy fields. This study aims to develop a utilization model for LAPAN-IPB satellite (LISAT) and other several satellites data that have been used for paddy field monitoring. This research is conducted through 2 stages: 1) Characterization LISAT satellite data to know spectral variation of paddy field, and 2) Development method of LISAT data fusion with other satellites for paddy field mapping. Based on the research results, the characteristics Red and NIR band in LISAT data imagery have a good correlation with Red and NIR band in LANDSAT 8 OLI data imagery, especially to detect paddy field in the vegetative phase, compared to other bands. Observation and measurement of spectral values using spectroradiometer need to be conducted periodically (starting from first planting season) to know the dynamics of the change related to the growth phase of paddy in paddy field. Pre-processing of image data needs to be conducted to obtain better LISAT data characterization results. Furthermore, it is necessary to develop appropriate algorithms or methods for geometric correction as well as atmospheric correction of LISAT data

Impact of Land Use Change to Dependable Flow in Kuncir River, Nganjuk District, East Java

Currently, Kuncir River is a source of irrigation water in the southern of Nganjuk District. The potential ofKuncir River was assessed by measuring the dependable flow as an indicator of water supply for irrigatedareas. The objective of this study was to estimate the river discharge and its dependable flow for irrigationfrom Kuncir River in Nganjuk District. River discharge data was collected from Kuncir River, rainfall data wascollected from Nganjuk District, East Java and climate data was collected from climatology station of BadanMeteorologi Klimatologi dan Geofisika (BMKG) Sawahan, Nganjuk. There were two major steps on thisstudy which were model development and model simulation using SWAT after calibration and validation.Model simulation showed NS value of 0.67 with mean daily flow of 7.15 m3 s-1. Based on land use changescenario, the conversion of 50% on forest and 50% on range-grasses into agriculture land could increase3.1% and 2.5% of average river discharge, respectively

Kajian Sedimen Melayang pada Sub DAS Sei Kalembah (DAS Padang), Studi Kasus : Perkebunan Kelapa Sawit PTPN 4 Kebun Pabatu

The purpose of this study was determined the amount of suspended sediment concentration dan sediment rating curve. Sediment rating curve are use to show the relationship between the discharge of the river and sediment discharge, a value sediment discharge can be used to predict the magnitude of the sedimentation process. Assesment of the suspended sediment have been made to overcome theproblems associated with the movement of contaminants, changes in water quality, to predict the lifetime of a dam on the river, and also to determine the rate of erosion due to changes in land use. Replanting at oil palm plantations, especially during land clearing that part of the land to be bare land. This condition causes the surface flow of replanted areas become rapidly concentrated into a ditch and into the river carrying sediment. The research results were obtained that the value of sediment discharge at the study site including the criteria for very high (greater than 20 tons/ha/yr) and already exceeds the limit sediment load criteria issued by the Ministry of Forestry
