Memahami Adaptasi Penduduk Terhadap Perubahan Iklim Untuk Pemenuhan Kebutuhan Air Bersih Di Pulau-Pulau Kecil Belitung Dan Bintan

Abstract

Freshwater is an essential need for human being thus a sufficient supply of it it is required. Naturally, small islands are vulnerable. The occurence of climate change the vulnerability of these islands increase. Changes on temperature and precipitation can alter the hydrological cycle and will directly affect the water supply in small islands. This paper examines various adaptation efforts implemented by local population and government in small islands situated in Belitung and Bintan. Using quantitative method (survey to 400 respondents) and qualitative method (interview and focus group discussion), the research found that the adaptation has already taken place. The responsive/reactive and anticipatory adaptation are managed by government and local people who live in these small islands. Some of the adaptation actions are widening water storage, buying, searching for new water resources, desalination of salt water, rain water harvesting and improvement of water distribution. In addition, local mangrove management in Selat Nasik acts as adaptation functions for barriers of salt water intrusion. However, water governance has not been prioritized although it is proven to be necessary to support adaptive capacity for fresh water fulfillment Keywords: Fresh Water Fulfillment, Small Islands, Adaptation, Responsive/Reactive, Anticipatory, Adaptive Capacity, Water Governance

Konservasi Sumber Mata Air Berbasis Kearifan Lokal Di Desa Meurandeh Kota Langsa Aceh

“…Kondisi infrastruktur jalan menuju lokasi yang rusak parah kerap kali menghambat mobilitas warga untuk mengambil air. Hal ini sejalan dengan apaya yang dikatakan oleh Fajri Alihar bahwa keterbatasan akses air bersih berdampak signifikan terhadap kesejahteraan masyarakat pedesaan (Alihar, 2018).…”

Government Colonial Policy and Indigenous Organizations in The Field of Health in Surabaya 1900-1939

“…This problem was exacerbated by the poor quality of the water produced 1917. The government restricted water consumption so that some residents were forced to consume water from unsanitary wells and eventually contracted malaria (Rachmawati & Surtiari, 2016). Fortunately, the government soon overcame this problem so that the deaths of people infected with malaria could be reduced.…”

Adaptation of Coastal and Small Island Communities on the Assessment and Application of Clean Water Technology Provision

“…Many researchers argue that climate change affects the availability of water sources in the form of melting glaciers, floods, droughts, to the impact on the agricultural irrigation sector (Arnell et al, 2004;Kundzewicz et al, 2008;Jaswal et al, 2015;Singh et al, 2016;Upgupta et al, 2015;Wang et al, 2014). Several studies in Indonesia also show that the problem of clean water is closely related to climate change (Rachmawati et al, 2015;Marganingrum & Sudrajat, 2018).…”
