“…For example, a study on tomato growers in Ghana revealed that the perception of climate variability drives farmer to use more agrochemicals to retain crop production, and these chemicals cause the pollution of nearby water bodies and increase soil acidity above the optimum crop requirements [18]. Similar practices have been identified in rural areas of Indonesia, where watermelon farmers use excessive chemical pesticides to retain production, causing groundwater pollution that damages the quality of water for consumption [92]. 1 Ultimately, adaptation becomes maladaptation, which erodes sustainable development and shifts vulnerability to other actors.…”

Climate change (CC) is one of the primary threats to the agricultural sector in developing countries. Several empirical studies have shown that the implementation of adaptation practices can reduce the adverse effects of CC. The likelihood of farmers performing adaptation practices is mostly influenced by the degree of CC impact that they perceive. Thus, we identified the characteristics of farmers that affect the degree of the CC impact that they perceive. We used data from the Indonesian Rice Farm Household survey consisting of 87,330 farmers. An ordered probit regression model was used to estimate the effect of each variable on the degree of the perceived impact of CC. The results of this study confirm those of previous empirical studies. Several variables that have been identified as having a positive effect on farmer adaptation practices, such as farmer education, land tenure, irrigation infrastructure, cropping system, chemical fertilizer application, access to extension services, and participation in farmer groups, negatively affect the degree of the perceived impact of CC. However, a different result was found in the estimation of the gender variable. We found that female farmers have a higher CC resilience and ability to withstand climatic shocks and risks than male farmers. Female farmers have a more positive perception of future farming conditions than male farmers. We recommend the implementation of a national adaptation policy that use and expand the channel of agricultural extension services to deliver the planned adaptation policy, and prioritizes farmers with insecure land tenure. Additionally, we encourage the increasing of female involvement in the CC adaptation practices and decision-making processes.

“…The protection forests, production forests, plantation forests and perenniel crop gardens have reduced, while the land development for industries locations and human settlements have increased significantly [11;[12]; [13]; [14]; [15]. The development of the region, landuse planning and residential planning is needed with an assessment of land carrying capacity [16]; [17]; [18], so that economics development are in accordance with the carrying capacity and capability of land [19]; [20]; [21]; [22].…”

Evaluation of the environmental carrying capacity should be measured as part of sustainable land use planning. One of methods to evaluate this carrying capacity is land capability evaluation.. This study aims to evaluate the suitability of landuse in each of land capability classes in Mojokerto Regency. Land capability is obtained by spatial analysis and overlay of several criteria for land capability, included soil texture, effective soil depth, drainage, land slope, and soil erosion. The description of actual landuse is obtained using landsat 8 OLI images at coverage time in May 2018. The results of study show that the land capability in Mojokerto Regency varies from Class I to Class VIII. The actual land use in Mojokerto Regency are about 98% or 95314.33 Ha are suitable to the land capability, and 2% or of 2078.67 Ha are unsuitable to the land capability. Based on the environmental carrying capacity, about 78.85% or 76798.89 Ha of land in Mojokerto Regency are allocated accordingly, and 0.90% or of 875.29 Ha of land are allocated beyond their carrying capacity, 19.39% or 18884.18 Ha of land are allocated in a conditional manner so it needs any specific treatments of landuse.

Sumberpitu water springs was the one of primary resources, not only for people living in around of Bromo Mountain, but also for people living in Malang City. The water spring was very important for them to sustain their life activities. The importance of that urged people to be aware how important conservation activities was. Understanding conservation activities was done using System Dynamics approach which was part of system thinking helping to be understand real life condition. Causal Loop Diagram (CLD) is a system dynamics form having feedback among the variables. Water-Human-Land System (WHLS) Sumberpitu water spring Conservation was used as CLD Model. The CLD Model used Groundwater Storage including Sumberpitu water spring, Built-Up/Opened Area and Agricultural Areas in the Upper stream of water springs, and Rural and Urban Population as primary variable. The variables have both influence and feedback to each other. Conservation activities were done by local people including water prices variable as environment services charge, conservation education variable, and Adat Karo traditional ceremony as a local wisdom. For sustaining Sumberpitu water spring use, the conservation activities were expected to control, not only water use, but also land use change in the upper stream of water springs.
