Adaptation And Mitigation

This research focused on the following things; a) How are the problems resulting from climate change to the quality of the environment and people in Kalikatir village? b) How are strategies in solving the problem of climate change through adaptation and mitigation efforts? c). What was the meaning of da’wah in this community organizing? Researchers used the Participatory Action Research (PAR) method along with Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) techniques for data mining. The dynamics of community organizing included inculturation, knowing, understanding, planning, action, monev, reflection, and report. The results of the research showed that the local climate change presents various problems in the disaster of natural resources, food resistance, economy, and health sectors. Community organizing of people produced a "Farmer Group Learning Center", and also facilitated some access to the information, knowledge, and experience about climate change. Da’wah activities showed in this community organizing on the form of tathwir and tamkin which transformed the teaching of Islam through empowering the community of their human, social, economic, and environmental resources.

Lisbon is a European Mediterranean city, greatly exposed to heatwaves (HW), according to recent trends and climate change prospects. Considering the Atlantic influence, air temperature observations from Lisbon’s mesoscale network are used to investigate the interactions between background weather and the urban thermal signal (UTS) in summer. Days are classified according to the prevailing regional wind direction, and hourly UTS is compared between HW and non-HW conditions. Northern-wind days predominate, revealing greater maximum air temperatures (up to 40 °C) and greater thermal amplitudes (approximately 10 °C), and account for 37 out of 49 HW days; southern-wind days have milder temperatures, and no HWs occur. Results show that the wind direction groups are significantly different. While southern-wind days have minor UTS variations, northern-wind days have a consistent UTS daily cycle: a diurnal urban cooling island (UCI) (often lower than –1.0 °C), a late afternoon peak urban heat island (UHI) (occasionally surpassing 4.0 °C), and a stable nocturnal UHI (1.5 °C median intensity). UHI/UCI intensities are not significantly different between HW and non-HW conditions, although the synoptic influence is noted. Results indicate that, in Lisbon, the UHI intensity does not increase during HW events, although it is significantly affected by wind. As such, local climate change adaptation strategies must be based on scenarios that account for the synergies between potential changes in regional air temperature and wind.

Method Approach

The legality of a product is the most important thing to measure the quality indicator of a product. Through Science and Technology for Entrepreneurship Program, SMEs disabled participants are given socialization about the importance of product legality e.g. Household Food Industry (PIRT), brand, logo and halal. The purpose of this activity is to improve the quality of SME products through product legality training. The method used is quantitatif method with experiment approach. For training method used PALS (Participatory Action Learning Center) methods. The PALS method approach emphasizes on the transformation of existing activities cultivated in the changes towards the improvement of the conditions of SMEs. Stages of the PALS method approach are the awareness stage, the process of capturing product quality and accompaniment. The result is that there is an increasing number of business actors who take care of PIRT, logos and brands.  It can be seen from the significance value of paired t-test results, this is at pretest condition (before taking product legality training) and posttest when tenant has attended product legality training. With a significance value of 0.000 smaller than the critical value of 0.005, then Ho (initial hypothesis) is processed, so that there are significant differences of tenant who have followed the product legality training to improve the ability of tenant in preparing documents of PIRT, brand and logo for his business
