Forests have ecological and sociological functions, including tourism development as well as disaster mitigation efforts. In the conditions of the Covid-19 pandemic that hit Bali tourism, it is necessary to develop new types of tourism such as this forest bathing. This research intends to study the potential and opportunities of bamboo forests in the Batur Geopark area to be used as new types of tourism, which at the same time can also be used as a disaster mitigation. A case study method with qualitative data collection includes observation, in-depth interviews, and literature study. A mapping plan for the bamboo forest area is also carried out to support the facilities and infrastructure for forest bathing activities. Bamboo has been used for the restoration of areas affected by the fire at Geopark Batur. However, no one has specifically offered the concept of Forest Bathing. Introducing forest bathing as a new attraction to revive Bali tourism and at the same time to preserve the environment is possible and necessary. Furthermore, there is important to develop destination branding and marketing for the forest bathing attraction.
Abstract. Fendiyanto MH, Satrio RD, Widana IDKK, Pratami MP, Nikmah IA, Darmadi D. 2021. Differential hierarchical metabolites expression of red/white Salacca sumatrana Arillus and its molecular docking studies. Biodiversitas 22: 1014-1024. Salak Sidempuan (Salacca sumatrana) is one of the medicinal plants originating from tropical countries. However, there is very little research on the study of finding bioactive compounds in S. sumatrana using the metabolomic approach. Here, we use two population types of S. sumatrana, e.g., fruit with red and white arillus. We extracted the compounds from the two tissues using the GC-MS technique and further analyzed their antiviral potential using an in-silico molecular docking technique. Fold change analysis showed that in white arillus there were 21 upregulated compounds and 25 downregulated compounds. Metabolites that have high expression in white arillus tissue are ranxinic acid, nicotinic alcohol, stearic acid, 2-furan carboxaldehyde, and others. Six accessions from S. sumatrana based on PCA analysis and separate dendrogram according to the type of arillus, i.e., red and white arillus. Two compounds that act as antivirals found in this study are stearic acid and palmitic acid based on preliminary molecular docking studies. These two compounds could be used for further studies as a preventive measure against SARS-Cov-2 in the future, however, it needs further comprehensive and clinical analysis the future. In conclusion, metabolites in white arillus were distinctly different from red arillus of Snake fruits. In addition, studies on differential metabolite expression on two types of arillus (red/white) can be used as markers in identifying arillus color early by plant breeders.
“Ring of fire” yang mengelilingi wilayah Indonesia, bonus demografi dan beberapa faktor lainnya membuat Indonesia menjadi wilayah yang rawan terhadap bencana. Hal tersebut seperti yang terekam pada DIBI pada periode tahun 2010 – 2020 terdapat 24.969 kejadian bencana. Penelitian ini merupakan kajian risiko bahaya bencana berdasarkan jumlah kejadian dan dampak bencana di Indonesia pada periode tersebut. Tujuan dari penelitian ini sendiri adalah untuk menilai risiko bahaya akibat bencana yang terjadi dan kedepannya bisa dijadikan sebagai bahan pembelajaran serta acuan dalam mitigasi, pencegahan, kesiagaan, kesiapsiagaan bencana di Indonesia. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini berupa kuantitatif dengan pendekatan deskriptif berdasarkan data sekunder. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa bencana yang paling berisiko tinggi adalah banjir. Hal tersebut sesuai dengan data yang terekam oleh Data dan Informasi Bencana Indonesia (DIBI) frekuensi kejadian banjir merupakan bencana yang paling sering terjadi di Indonesia. Dan wilayah Indonesia yang mempunyai risiko bahaya paling tinggi terhadap bencana adalah Provinsi Jawa Barat. Kesimpulan dari penelitian ini adalah semua Provinsi di Indonesia mempunyai risiko bahaya terhadap bencana. Sehingga perlu adanya perhatian lebih terhadap mitigasi, pencegahan, kesiagaan dan kesiapsiagaan sesuai dengan tingkat risiko khususnya bencana banjir dan Jawa Barat. Bencana banjir merupakan bencana yang mempunyai risiko paling tinggi dan Provinsi Jawa Barat merupakan wilayah yang mempunyai risiko bahaya paling tinggi terhadap bencana.
Geographical, hydrological, demographic, and sociological conditions of Indonesia make Indonesia's territory prone to disasters (natural, non-natural, and social). The history of disasters shows a trend of increasing the number of victims and types of disasters. Various efforts are needed in anticipating the possibility of a disaster that will occur, so that preventing risks, reducing risks or even eliminating disaster risks by reducing vulnerability and or increasing the limited capacity of the community is the simplest solution to the complexity of the disaster problem. Disaster risk is the probability of a potential disaster with the consequent damage being a key element. A threat (danger) only becomes a disaster if it affects vulnerable communities. The community is a key element in dealing with disasters, besides being the first to know about a disaster incident, the community is not only an object but also a subject that must be empowered in disaster management. This means that whatever efforts in disaster management must lead to the community. Strategies are needed to increase community resilience to an increasing number of disaster risks. Pre-disaster mitigation and preparedness activities are needed to reduce the vulnerability of a community and to protect the community whenever a disaster occurs. This research contributes to the current knowledge of the urban community preparedness index in terms of disaster preparedness. This descriptive quantitative research uses univariate analysis as the blade of analysis with a sample of 204 respondents who live in the DKI Jakarta area, and were selected randomly. This study uses primary data. Data collection was carried out through an online google form questionnaire directly to residents of DKI Jakarta Province. The results showed that the population of DKI Jakarta Province has various socio-economic characteristics, 77.94% of respondents have had disaster experience, 46.67% of the Material Preparedness Index, 82.52% of the Knowledge and Awareness Index for Preparedness, and 52.94% of the Preparedness Index. Act. Therefore, disaster risk reduction requires the efforts of all stakeholders such as the community (individuals and communities), government agencies, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and even the business world.
Indonesia and Japan have experienced hydrometeorological disasters, primarily floods disasters every year. The two countries must experience few losses due to improper disaster management. However, along with the times, Japan, an expert in technology development, can reduce flood risk. Japan has established itself as a country that is an example for countries in disaster risk reduction. The Japanese government promotes a concept, namely "Build Back Better" to build a post-disaster area to restore the area to its original state and take opportunities to develop better than before. Meanwhile, Indonesia, a developing country incidentally, is still trying to reduce the risk of flood disasters that cause considerable losses to the nation. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the lessons learned from Japan for flood risk reduction in Indonesia. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method with data collection techniques through Focus Group Discussions (FGD) with professors and researchers from Japan and reviewing disaster risk reduction documents. The results of this study indicate that there are several keys to success that Japan has in reducing flood risk, such as a) a mindset to be able to make disasters a challenge for the better; b) policies and disaster management systems structure from the center to the regions; c) encourage the development of SETI (Science, Engineering, Technology, and Innovation) for disaster risk reduction to many sectors; and d) Japan's ambition in implementing Society 5.0 which is relevant to Disaster Risk Management (DRM).
