The Poverty Index Mapping in the Barlingmascakeb Area in 2019

Poverty is one of the serious problems in the national development process in Indonesia. Development basically aims to lead to a better situation and create a just and prosperous society. In the concept of Population-Centered Development, populations are not only treated as “objects” but also “subjects” of development. However, the incessant development carried out in various regions has not fully brought the welfare of the population. One of them is Central Java province which is a poverty pocket in Indonesia with a poverty percentage of 10.80 in 2019. Especially in the Barlingmascakeb area, namely Banjarnegara, Purbalingga, Banyumas, Cilacap, Kebumen, in the same year the percentage of poverty was relatively higher, respectively 14.76 percent, 15.03 percent, 12.53 percent, 10, 73 percent, and 16.82 percent. This study aims to examine the poverty index spatially in the Barlingmascakeb area in 2019 and find out the dominant indicators that determine the poverty index as one of the evaluation materials for the development process in the region. The data used to measure the poverty index is to use indicators on several dimensions of the Population-Centered Development Index (PCDI). The participation dimension is represented by the EPR (Employment to Population Ratio) indicator and the level of labor force participation rate; the dimension of partiality represented by the percentage of RREB (Regional Revenue and Expenditure Budget) for poverty reduction and other indicators related to poverty, namely income per capita. The spatial distribution of the poverty index is known through Geographic Information System (GIS) software

A Review Disaster Mitigation of Jakarta Land Subsidence Areas

The Jakarta Capital Special Region of Jakarta is an area in the Java Island that has the highest level of vulnerability to land subsidence disasters. Land subsidence is caused by several factors such as excessive use of groundwater and natural compression of soil conditions. This study used a review analysis method based on a literature study on mitigation of land subsidence disasters in Jakarta city. The mitigation planning of land subsidence disasters in Jakarta will refer to government regulations on disaster management and Jakarta City spatial planning. Disaster mitigation is necessary to anticipate or reduce disaster risk. Disaster mitigation is a series of efforts to reduce disaster risk through physical development combined with awareness and capacity building in dealing with disaster threats. Education cannot be separated from the active role of the community and local government. High-densely populated areas will lead to more use of groundwater in Jakarta city. The excessive use of groundwater has resulted in more intensive land subsidence in Jakarta’s urban area. The safe zone mapping of subsidence disasters is prominent to reduce and control land subsidence disasters. The government’s efforts to lessen the impacts of land subsidence are by educating the population in disaster areas

Correlation study between physical disability and covid-19 cases in Sleman, Indonesia

The spread of the highly infectious COVID-19 has severely impacted the global community. Population density and intense physical interaction are the catalysts of the virus spread. Many regulations were issued to halt the spread of the virus, including the limitation of people’s mobility and physical interaction. With the limitation of mobility and physical interaction, many people with disabilities are struggling to access their needs since they depend on their caregivers. The lack of inclusive policies in the health system itself also ends up deprioritizing the disabled. This article aims to identify the correlation between physical disability and COVID-19 cases and identify the spatial distribution of the correlation in Sleman regency, Indonesia. This article presents the correlation with the qualitative approach using Pearson product-moment correlation method. The data used in this article is secondary data obtained from official government agencies. The findings of this study showed that Pearson correlation between physical disability and COVID-19 cases is 0,04346 and classified as very low positive

COVID-19 and Gender Role in Unemployment: How Women in Special Capital Region of Jakarta is Less Likely to be Unemployed During Economic Disturbance

The gender gap that occurs in Special Capital Region of Jakarta, between men and women has an impact on aspects of employment related to labor absorption. Increasing the number of optimal employment opportunities, both in terms of productivity and efficiency, can determine the success of economic development in a region. This study was conducted to see how likely it is that women are unemployed, in relation to the employment aspect in Special Capital Region of Jakarta which is based on secondary data from BPS and analyzed with a descriptive quantitative approach. The results showed that the open unemployment rate (TPT) in Special Capital Region of Jakarta in 2019-2020 experienced a significant increase in 2020, namely 4.86% for men and 4.5% for women. Different results are shown in the variable labor force participation rate (TPAK), which tends to experience a fluctuating trend with the participation rate of men being higher than women. In general, the COVID-19 pandemic has an impact on employment, which in turn has an impact on unemployment. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the unemployment rate was dominated by men, due to the high wages of men compared to women. In addition, women’s labor force participation rates are relatively low compared to men’s, causing women to have little chance of being unemployed. Female workers have higher resilience than male workers, this is due to the higher saturation of women in informal economic activities with entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurial activities tend to have more resilience than formal workers because there is no risk of termination of employment from the employer
