Mewujudkan Kampung Bandan sebagai Kampung Kota Berkelanjutan Menggunakan Pendekatan Asian New Urbanism

Kampung kota merupakan fenomena yang banyak terjadi terutama di lanskap kota pada negara-negara berkembang. Salah satu kampung kota yang ada di Indonesia yaitu Kampung Bandan, Ancol, Jakarta Utara. Kepadatan merupakan permasalahan yang dihadapi oleh kampung ini, dengan perbandingan kebutuhan ruang terbuka yang minim, derajat ketertutupan ruang, dan keterdekatan antar bangunan. Kepadatan dan keterbatasan dapat mengurangi kreativitas bagi manusia penghuninya untuk bertindak dan berperilaku. Hampir dapat dipastikan bahwa tidak akan ada ruang-ruang sisa di dalam kampung Bandan. Dengan segala permasalahan yang ada maka perlu diadakan suatu penataan kampung yang berkelanjutan. Penataan yang benar akan mewujudkan kehidupan masyarakat yang lebih baik di dalamnya. Studi dilakukan pada bulan Oktober-November 2016. Analisis data dilakukan secara komparatif terhadap teori kampung kota berkelanjutan berdasarkan pendekatan Asian New Urbanism berupa rekomendasi yang menjadi dasar dalam menciptakan konsep kampung kota yang berkelanjutan dengan inovasi instrumen perencanaan Asian New Urbanism

IDENTIFIKASI KEANEKARAGAMAN HAYATI RTH DI KOTA DEPOK

ABSTRAK. Pembangunan perkotaan tidak hanya harus terfokus pada lanskap binaan tetapi juga pada lanskap alami. Salah satu elemen lunak yang dianggap penting yaitu keberadaan ruang terbuka hijau (RTH). Pengembangan RTH di lanskap perkotaan selama ini umumnya lebih terfokus dalam mencapai tujuan mereduksi polutan, menciptakan kenyamanan termal, dan juga estetika. Sayangnya, masih banyak yang mengabaikan manfaat RTH dari sudut pandang konservasi khususnya flora dan fauna. Studi ini bertujuan untuk mendata keanekaragaman hayati di Kota Depok untuk menjadi acuan dalam mencapai pembangunan berkelanjutan (green development), sehingga kualitas lingkungan dapat ditingkatkan dan fungsional bukan hanya bagi manusia tetapi juga bagi flora dan fauna. Studi dilaksanakan di tiga lokasi dengan karakter yang berbeda yaitu Taman Lembah Gurame, Tahura Pancoran Mas, dan Jalan Juanda. Hasil yang diperoleh nilai keanekaragaman vegetasi berturut-turut berada pada Tahura Pancoran Mas (2,535), Taman Lembah Gurame (1,287), dan Jalan Juanda (0,967). RTH di Jalan Juanda merupakan RTH dengan nilai keanekaragaman vegetasi paling rendah. Rendahnya nilai keanekaragaman vegetasi berpengaruh langsung terhadap keberadaan fauna yang tidak ditemukan pada RTH Jalan Juanda. Studi ini juga berhasil mendata vegetasi-vegetasi penting pada tiap-tiap lokasi yang dapat memberikan informasi mengenai mampu tidaknya vegetasi tersebut beradaptasi dengan lingkungannya. Kata kunci: fauna, flora, konservasi, lanskap perkotaan, ruang terbuka hijau. ABSTRACT. Urban development should not only focus on the man-made landscape but also the natural landscape. One of the important natural landscape is the existence of green open space. Green open space development in urban landscape areas has generally been more focused on achieving the goal of reducing pollutants, creating thermal comfort, as well as aesthetics. Unfortunately, the benefits of green space from the conservation, especially for flora and fauna are still largely ignored. This study aims to record biodiversity in Depok City to become a reference in achieving sustainable development (green development), so that environmental quality can be improved and functional not only for human but also for flora and fauna. The study was conducted in three locations with different characters namely Taman Lembah Gurame, Tahura Pancoran Mas, and Jalan Juanda. The results obtained by the value of vegetation diversity are consecutively in Tahura Pancoran Mas (2,535), Lembah Gurame Park (1,287), and Jalan Juanda (0.967). Green open space on Jalan Juanda has the lowest value of vegetation diversity. The low value of vegetation diversity directly affects the presence of fauna because not found in the Jalan Juanda. This study also managed to record important vegetations in each location that can provide information for whether or not the vegetation well-adapted in its environment. Keywords: conservation, fauna, flora, green open space, urban landscap

Pelatihan Petugas Taman dalam Pengelolaan Taman dalam Pengembangan Ruang Terbuka Hijau di Kota Depok

City park is one form of urban green open space. To maintain the city park in good condition, maintenance activities in the form of maintenance functions, shapes, and aesthetics are needed. In the park maintenance activities, park officers are needed as human resources who understand the maintenance activities. Depok Municipality in West Java Province is currently being intensively improving the quality of the park through park officer training activities. This public services activity consists of three stages i.e. field observations, training and tests to park officers, and evaluations to advise the stakesholders. The purpose of this article are to identify technical issues, to improve the practical knowledge of park officers, and to provide input to the management of parks in Depok Municipality. After the training, it was found that the park officers in Depok Municipality increased is their knowledge significantly. The absence of guidance on park management and unsustainable park design are technical problems faced by park officers. The Government of Depok Municipality needs to facilitate park officers with maintenance guidebooks, analyze labor needs, evaluate park quality, simplify garden design, make a list of existing trees and preserve the valuable old trees

Controls on anthropogenic radionuclide distribution in the Sellafield-impacted Eastern Irish Sea

Understanding anthropogenic radionuclide biogeochemistry and mobility in natural systems is key to improving the management of radioactively contaminated environments and radioactive wastes. Here, we describe the contemporary depth distribution and phase partitioning of 137Cs, Pu, and 241Am in two sediment cores taken from the Irish Sea (Site 1: the Irish Sea Mudpatch; Site 2: the Esk Estuary). Both sites are located ~10 km from the Sellafield nuclear site. Low-level aqueous radioactive waste has been discharged from the Sellafield site into the Irish Sea for >50 y. We compare the depth distribution of the radionuclides at each site to trends in sediment and porewater redox chemistry, using trace element abundance, microbial ecology, and sequential extractions, to better understand the relative importance of sediment biogeochemistry vs. physical controls on radionuclide distribution/post-depositional mobility in the sediments. We highlight that the distribution of 137Cs, Pu, and 241Am at both sites is largely controlled by physical mixing of the sediments, physical transport processes, and sediment accumulation. Interestingly, at the Esk Estuary, microbially-mediated redox processes (considered for Pu) do not appear to offer significant controls on Pu distribution, even over decadal timescales. We also highlight that the Irish Sea Mudpatch likely still acts as a source of historical pollution to other areas in the Irish Sea, despite ever decreasing levels of waste output from the Sellafield site.Peer reviewe

Study Protocol: Randomised Controlled Hybrid Type 2 Trial Evaluating the Scale-up of Two Arts Interventions for Postnatal Depression and Parkinson’s Disease

INTRODUCTION: Research on the benefits of \u27arts\u27 interventions to improve individuals\u27 physical, social and psychological well-being is growing, but evidence on implementation and scale-up into health and social care systems is lacking. This protocol reports the SHAPER-Implement programme (Scale-up of Health-Arts Programmes Effectiveness-Implementation Research), aimed at studying the impact, implementation and scale-up of: Melodies for Mums (M4M), a singing intervention for postnatal depression; and Dance for Parkinson\u27s (PD-Ballet) a dance intervention for Parkinson\u27s disease. We examine how they could be embedded in clinical pathways to ensure their longer-term sustainability. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: A randomised two-arm effectiveness-implementation hybrid type 2 trial design will be used across M4M/PD-Ballet. We will assess the implementation in both study arms (intervention vs control), and the cost-effectiveness of implementation. The design and measures, informed by literature and previous research by the study team, were refined through stakeholder engagement. Participants (400 in M4M; 160 in PD-Ballet) will be recruited to the intervention or control group (2:1 ratio). Further implementation data will be collected from stakeholders involved in referring to, delivering or supporting M4M/PD-Ballet (N=25-30 for each intervention).A mixed-methods approach (surveys and semi-structured interviews) will be employed. \u27Acceptability\u27 (measured by the \u27Acceptability Intervention Measure\u27) is the primary implementation endpoint for M4M/PD-Ballet. Relationships between clinical and implementation outcomes, implementation strategies (eg, training) and outcomes will be explored using generalised linear mixed models. Qualitative data will assess factors affecting the acceptability, feasibility and appropriateness of M4M/PD-Ballet, implementation strategies and longer-term sustainability. Costs associated with implementation and future scale-up will be estimated. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: SHAPER-PND (the M4M trial) and SHAPER-PD (the PD trial) are approved by the West London and GTAC (20/PR/0813) and the HRA and Health and Care Research Wales (REC Reference: 20/WA/0261) Research Ethics Committees. Study findings will be disseminated through scientific peer-reviewed journals and scientific conferences.

Effective Melanoma Immunotherapy in Mice by the Skin-Depigmenting Agent Monobenzone and the Adjuvants Imiquimod and CpG

Background: Presently melanoma still lacks adequate treatment options for metastatic disease. While melanoma is exceptionally challenging to standard regimens, it is suited for treatment with immunotherapy based on its immunogenicity. Since treatment-related skin depigmentation is considered a favourable prognostic sign during melanoma intervention, we here aimed at the reverse approach of directly inducing vitiligo as a shortcut to effective anti-melanoma immunity. Methodology and Principal Findings: We developed an effective and simple to use form of immunotherapy by combining the topical skin-bleaching agent monobenzone with immune-stimulatory imiquimod cream and cytosine-guanine oligodeoxynucleotides (CpG) injections (MIC therapy). This powerful new approach promptly induced a melanoma antigen-specific immune response, which abolished subcutaneous B16. F10 melanoma growth in up to 85% of C57BL/6 mice. Importantly, this regimen induced over 100 days of tumor-free survival in up to 60% of the mice, and forcefully suppressed tumor growth upon re-challenge either 65- or 165 days after MIC treatment cessation. Conclusions: MIC therapy is effective in eradicating melanoma, by vigilantly incorporating NK-, B-and T cells in its therapeutic effect. Based on these results, the MIC regimen presents a high-yield, low-cost and simple therapy, readily applicable in the clini
