Abstrak-Padi merupakan salah satu makanan pokok masyarakat Indonesia. Produksi padi pada tahun 2014 sebesar 70,85 ton Gabah Kering Giling (GKG) mengalami penurunan sebesar 433,24 ribu ton (0,61 persen) dibandingkan tahun 2013. Provinsi Jawa Timur merupakan provinsi penyumbang produksi padi terbesar di Indonesia. Hal ini yang menuntut Provinsi Jawa Timur untuk terus meningkatkan produksi padi demi ketercapaian swasembada pangan khususnya untuk masyarakat Jawa Timur dan umumnya untuk Indonesia. Penelitian ini akan membahas tentang faktor-faktor apa saja yang diduga mempengaruhi produksi padi Jawa Timur tahun 2014 menggunakan regresi semiparametrik spline. Hasil dari regresi semiparametrik spline menunjukkan factor-faktor yang berpengaruh signifikan terhadap produksi padi yaitu luas panen padi dan curah hujan, sedangkan faktor-faktor yang tidak berpengaruh signifikan adalah luas puso padi, realisasi pupuk bersubsidi, dan ketinggian rata-rata dari permukaan laut dengan nilai koefisien determinasi yang didapatkan adalah sebesar 99,17 persen.
In Indonesia 66 million people practice open defecation, which is the second highest number of people in one single country following India. Indonesia lacks sanitation services, in particular in rural areas. Data from the national statistics bureau show that almost 33% of the population in rural areas have no sanitation facilities. This study looked at alternative sanitation options in a community in East Java. Its aim was to evaluate the feasibility of different sanitation options, to conduct an integrated assessment of those options, and to identify the community perceptions of those options. The investigated technologies encompassed on the one side locally widely spread and accepted technologies (such as septic tanks), and on the other, new but promising concepts which have not yet been well established in Indonesia (such as biogas plants or ecosan systems). The study has shown that despite the high costs (NPV), the high hygienic risk potential and low environmental performance, septic tanks were most preferred by the community. Generally, those options which performed best in the assessment (community and decentralized sanitation systems) were least preferred by the community.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
