ABSTRAKPerubahan garis pantai di wilayah pesisir Kabupaten Karawang hampir mencapai 50% dari panjang garis pantai yang ada saat ini. Perubahan dalam bentuk abrasi dan akresi ini berdampak pada penurunan kualitas hidup masyarakat yang bermukim di sekitar wilayah tersebut. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui jarak dan laju perubahan garis pantai, serta perubahan maksimum abrasi dan akresinya. Perhitungan perubahan garis pantai menggunakan aplikasi Digital Shoreline Analysis System (DSAS) dengan metode statistik Net Shoreline Movement (NSM) dan End Point Rate (EPR). Abrasi terparah terjadi pada segmen 5 di Kecamatan Tirtajaya dan akresi terparah terjadi pada segmen 16 di Kecamatan Cilamaya Wetan. Rata – rata abrasi dari tahun 1990-2018 di pesisir Kabupaten Karawang mencapai 101,28 m dengan laju 3,64 m/tahun. Sedangkan, untuk akresi mencapai 195,63 m dengan laju 7,04 m/tahun. Perbedaan waktu pengamatan dalam analisis perubahan garis pantai dalam penelitian ini dengan penelitian sebelumnya, memberikan hasil berkesesuaian dengan penelitian sejenis sebelumnya, untuk wilayah yang sama.Kata Kunci: garis pantai, DSAS, Kabupaten Karawang, abrasi, akresiABSTRACTCoastline of Karawang Regency changes almost 50% from total length of the coastline. The change is process of abrasion and accretion and it impacts quality of community life in the area. This tudy aims to calculate coastline change in term length of distance and its speed. The calculation uses Digital Shoreline Analysis System (DSAS) with statistical method of Net Shoreline Movement (NSM) and End Point Rate (EPR). Maximum abrasion occurs in segment 5 of Tirtajaya District and maximum accretion occurs in segment 16 of Cilamaya Wetan District. Averaged coastline changes from years of 1990-2018 showed that abrasion has length of 101,28 m and the speed is 3,64 m/year. Meanwhile, accretion has length of 195,63 m and the speed is 7,04 m/year. This research observes the coastline change in different years with other earlier studies, and the results showed agreement with similar studies in the same area.Keywords: coastline, DSAS, Karawang Regency, abrasion, accretion

This chapter seeks to encourage social workers to review their often (enforced) siloed roles in relation to communities of place and to develop stronger senses about the relationships and networks in places where those they serve actually live. The author offers a picture of force fields, system tensions which shape organizational and community life in particular ways, ways which diminish community life, and those who seek to serve community, and she provides examples from her practice experience in pre and post disaster environments. Where social workers can contribute to strengthening community networks, this will contribute to a quality of life for those they serve and then strengthen the capability of community responsiveness to a disaster. Seeing, valuing, and using these links may allow social workers to make subtle but important contributions to the field of emergency management.

The Poor

In any Discussion of American community life two beliefs are likely to quickly come to the fore. First, that we have over the last 50 years undergone a revolution in community settlement patterns and today we are an urban nation with more and more of our population crowding into our urban areas. Many now speak with disdain about the runaway urbanization and the emerging “ant-hill society.” A second theme that almost always accompanies the first is that the quality of life in our urban communities is deteriorating rapidly. One can hardly read a daily metropolitan newspaper without spotting a headline which sounds the alarm. Not long ago, for example, the New York Times had a front-page spread with the startling headline, “Eleven Mayors Warn Here of Collapse of U.S. Cities.” Stewart Alsop, in a Newsweek column with the foreboding title “The Cities Are Finished,” managed in the course of one page to inform his readers that the cities may be “finished” because they have become unlivable; that the net population of cities will continue to fall; that the future is statistically predictable—in another 10 years most of our cities will consist mostly of blacks; and that the cities will come to resemble reservations for the poor and the blacks surrounded by heavily guarded middle-class suburbs. More recently, Sol Linowitz, Chairman of the National Urban Coalition, declared, “We have abandoned our cities … [and while they] are not on fire today, most of the conditions that caused the civil disorders in recent years have worsened.”

Life Evaluations

The major objective of medical care is to preserve life. If patients cannot be cured and are left with residual chronic diseases then the aim is to provide them with the means to lead a life of quality within the confines of their disease. Rehabilitation in chronic disease means restoring or creating a life of acceptable quality. This is achieved by restoring the patient to optimal physiological and psychological health compatible with the extent of the disease and in doing so improve the quality of life. Improved quality of life is the best indicator of successful rehabilitation. Patients with chronic diseases are increasingly expected to become partners when decisions are made regarding their therapy and therefor their evaluation of the outcome is of great importance. There are a number of shortcomings with quality of life evaluations and the most important one is that it does not seem to be adequately defined. Another major problem is that this evaluation usually focuses on aspects of physical function and few studies include subjective indicators. It is generally felt that the opinion of the spouse or caregiver should be included.

Selection Of

A municipality improves the quality of community life through its projects and actions. However, project selection and prioritization by municipalities are highly complex processes. Therefore, multicriteria decision making (MCDM) methodologies are very suitable for determining the best alternative. Recently, some studies have concentrated on the selection of the best project alternatives. In this paper, a two phased fuzzy MCDM methodology is proposed for the selection among municipal projects. In the first phase, fuzzy TOPSIS method is used to select the main project group and then fuzzy AHP is used to select the best sub-municipal project. The application of the suggested methodology has been made at the central district municipality in Konya, Turkey.
