Routine and systematic physical activities which are focusing on development of physical skills have not been wellconsidered yet in our partner, Early Child care and Education (ECE) in Klaten, Central Java Indonesia. Instructors are mostly do not have sufficient knowledge on the importance of child physical activities and its relation to brain development. The Centre for Japanese Studies of Sebelas Maret University have tried to introduce a Japanese model of physical activities at ECEs since 2014, through annual workshop. After two years of practices, the perspective of instructors on physical activities are changed significantly, and trained instructors have challenged to develop animal mimic activities, which were adopted from Saito Kimiko's model, and put these as a regular morning program for children. In 2016, the theme of the workshop is practicing and assessing physical skills of children. 36 types of physicals exercises and 7 physical skills of Japanese model are introduced to 75 instructors from 21 ECE institutions in Klaten. Participants further learned and formulated cooperatively the adopted model. Questionnaire on perspective changes indicates that all participants stated the significant change before and after the training. Ten participants are selected to be interviewed on their perspective changes and action research about physical activities and physical skills of children.
_________________ Abstrak AbstractThe Curriculum 2013 entailed the importance of developing the physical ability (PA) of early age children (EAC). In fact, the standard measurement or instrument to assess the PA of early childhood has not been formulated yet to be used in the whole country. Therefore, it is required to develop the standard instrument to measure the physical ability of children. The Center for Japanese Studies, Research and Community Services of Universitas Sebelas Maret, Indonesia collaboratively worked with HIMPAUDI (The Association of Early Childhood Education Indonesia) of District Karanganom in Klaten Regency to develop the standard achievement of Klaten's children based on the instrument of PA adopted from Japan. This program involved 21 ECE nurseries in Karanganom, and 70 instructors participated in the program. The activities were based on an action research aimed to change the mindset of related instructors on PA, connection between PA and cognitive development. It also trained the skills of instructors on measuring the PA. The program was conducted from July to September 2017. As the program ran, data of children' PA was also measured, and as the entry of database developed for Karanganom. There are five indicators of PA which represent the stability, locomotive, and manipulative movements, adapted from Japanese PA measurement. The results of database showed the average measurement of children' PA in Karanganom, and were compared to the Japanese peers, the achievement was lower. The instrument has to be validated and examined in the various regions and periods.
Sampah telah menjadi permasalahan nasional dan menjadi isu penting dalam problematika lingkungan hidup. Setiap tahun, dapat dipastikan volume sampah akan selalu bertambah seiring dengan pola konsumerisme masyarakat dan membanjirnya beragam produk komersial.

Bongkotan Hamlet is the smallest hamlet located in Bojasari Village, Kertek District, Wonosobo Regency. In this place there is a site of Bongkotan Temple which is the legacy of the Syailendra Dynasty. Unfortunately, this rich history has not been managed optimally. Seeing this condition, Sigit Budi Martono along with creative activists in Bongkotan Hamlet invited the community to participate in reviving the tourism potential. The idea was initiated by creating the Kumandang Market located on Bongkotan hill, just across the Bongkotan Temple site area. It is intended that the existence of temple sites and village markets can be mutually integrated so that it can attract tourists to visit. Finally, after going through a preparatory process involving the local community, the official Kumandang Market was held on June 24, 2018 by utilizing the momentum of the Eid Mubarak holiday. Until now, the Kumandang Market has been held 18 times with the number of visitors increasing every week. This shows the existence of community participation in the development of the Kumandang Market. Based on the results of the study, community participation in the development of the Kumandang Market is indicated by the participation in decision making in Kumandang Market planning, participation in the implementation of the Kumandang Market, participation in taking utility of Kumandang Market, and participation in evaluating the Kumandang Market.
