Water is vital for human and thus it has to
AbstrakAir merupakan kebutuhan vital manusia dan karena itu harus tersedia agar dapat bertahan hidup. Sebagian masyarakat Indonesia, dengan pengetahuan lokal, kebiasaan dan budaya yang telah diwariskan secara turun temurun, memanfaatkan sumber air di daerahnya untuk memenuhi kebutuhan sehari-hari mereka. Masyarakat mengelola sumber daya yang ada dan mereka hidup harmonis dengan alam dan lingkungan di sekitarnya. Kearifan lokal masyarakat dalam pengelolaan sumber daya air, sayangnya, telah memudar. Tulisan ini mendiskusikan pergeseran kearifan lokal sebagai modal sosial dalam pemenuhan kebutuhan air dan sebagai bentuk perlindungan masyarakat terhadap sumber daya air. Data dan informasi dalam tulisan ini merupakan hasil desk reviews dari berbagai laporan penelitian/kajian, buku dan dokumen serta pengalaman penulis ketika melakukan penelitian-penelitian yang relevan. Diskusi terfokus pada memudarnya nilai kearifan lokal masyarakat, seperti nilai kebersamaan dan gotong royong, bergesernya nilai air dari dimensi sosial ke arah komersialisasi ekonomi, lunturnya pranata lokal dan lembaga pengelolaan air tradisional, serta tergerusnya 'rasa' kepemilikan bersama terhadap sumber daya air di sekelilingnya. Tulisan ini juga mendiskusikan pergeseran fungsi kearifan lokal dalam 'menjaga' hubungan yang harmonis antara masyarakat dan alam, serta tantangan terhadap eksistensi kearifan lokal terutama yang terkait dengan tekanan penduduk, modernisasi dan kegiatan pembangunan yang kurang memperhatikan preservasi sumber daya air dan lingkungan.
This paper discusses the population that confirmed positive for COVID-19 and died in Indonesia and DKI Jakarta, which is epicentre of corona virus transmission in this country. The trend of population confirmed positive COVID-19 continues to increase and fluctuate every day, while the percentage of population deaths tends to decline. The paper using secondary data revealed that male residents were more vulnerable to COVID-19 than women. The number of male population confirmed positive corona virus is higher and the percentage of death is much higher. Covid-19 attacks all age groups, but the population is over 46 years, especially 60 years and above, more vulnerable than other age groups. Infants, toddlers and children who are detected positively have a low percentage, but the quantity is quite large. The population risk reduction policy for COVID-19 is indispensable for all residents with priority given to more vulnerable groups in Indonesia and DKI Jakarta.
An earthquake and tsunami disaster risk hotspot, Indonesia has already lost hundreds of thousands of lives due to these natural disasters. This country, according to geological history, has experienced such disasters for a long time, but its people seemingly have not learned much from them. Their preparedness level is still low, mainly as a result of their lack of knowledge and awareness of the hazards and the negative impact those hazards have. It can also be noted from the previous disasters that their victims are especially vulnerable groups living under poor socioeconomic conditions; these people subsequently undergo difficulties in recovering their economic livelihood. In fact, most Indonesian provinces, and their coastal areas in particular, are identified as “disaster high risk,” yet more than half the total population lives in and is dependent on these areas. Realizing the high degree of their vulnerability, the people of Indonesia have to prepare to anticipate such disasters, and different initiatives on community disaster preparedness have been executed throughout the country since the Aceh tsunami. The objectives of this study are to discuss the socioeconomic vulnerability of the Indonesian community in the context of earthquakes and tsunamis, the crucial need for the communities to anticipate these disasters, their preparedness conditions, and efforts to reduce disaster risks. The study applies primary data collection based on quantitative (survey) and qualitative (in-depth interviews, FGDs and observations)methodology; it supplies secondary data collection based on desk reviews.
