Abstract. Air Sugihan Site was one of early history residential centers in the east coast of South Sumatera. In general, the environment of Air Sugihan Site is dominated by the peat bogs which consist of marsh and paddy vegetations. With such environment, how people could adapt and run their daily activities? To dig more about that, survey and environment observation was conducted in area of Air Sugihan Site  to get information about the local community adaptation process with their environment. The survey revealed that people changed the peat bogs environment as settlement and to fulfill their daily needs, then with their local wisdom, used domestic plants such as nibung (Oncosperma tigillarium), jelutung (Dyera pollyphylla), bako (Rihzophoraceae), to make equipments and places for living in form of home on stilts to protect them from flood or wild animals and also opened paddy fields. Thus, it can be concluded that pra-Sriwijaya community had been managed the environment in accordance with their needs by using the available natural resources.Abstrak. Situs Air Sugihan merupakan salah satu pusat hunian awal sejarah di Pantai Timur Sumatera Selatan di masa lampau. Secara umum, keadaan lingkungan Situs Air Sugihan merupakan daerah yang didominasi oleh dataran rawa gambut yang terdiri dari vegetasi rawa dan vegetasi sawah. Dengan lingkungan rawa tersebut bagaimana manusia dapat beradaptasi dan melangsungkan kehidupannya sesuai dengan karakterisitik lingkungan yang ada. Untuk mengetahui hal tersebut maka dilakukan survei dan pangamatan lingkungan terhadap pemukiman di wilayah Situs Air Sugihan yang bertujuan untuk mengetahui proses adaptasi masyarakat setempat dengan lingkungannya. Dari survei tersebut diketahui bahwa masyarakat mengubah lingkungan rawa gambut untuk memenuhi kebutuhannya, baik untuk bermukim maupun untuk kebutuhan sehari-hari, dengan kearifan mereka, mereka memanfaatkan tumbuhan  nibung (Oncosperma tigillarium), jelutung (Dyera pollyphylla), dan bako (Rihzophoraceae) yang ada disekitarnya untuk membuat peralatan dan bangunan tempat mereka tinggal berupa rumahrumah panggung guna melindungi diri mereka dari banjir, maupun dari binatang buas serta membuka lahan untuk sawah. Dari hasil penelitian dapat disimpulkan bahwa dengan sumber daya alam yang ada, masyarakat dengan kearifan mereka telah mengelola lingkungan sesuai dengan kebutuhannya.

The Relationship

Ethno-ornithology is the study of the relationship between people and birds. It is a natural scientific approach that explains the relationship between people’s knowledge and the use of birds in their culture. Temuan community is one of the aborigine ethnics in Malaysia. They practice lifestyles that closely associated with nature. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the ethno-ornithology knowledge and practice by Temuan Community lived around the Gunung Ledang National Park, Johor, Malaysia. A set of questionnaires was distributed to 40 respondents from the Temuan community to gather the information of birds used in their daily activities. In addition, the information was also obtained from the interview session with the head of the village (Tok Batin). The identification of the birds obtained from the questionnaire and interview was further confirmed by using reliable resources. A total of 29 bird species was successfully identified. Temuan community used birds in their daily life in many ways such as, food, pet, folklore, entertainment, and many more. Understanding ethno-ornithology between local community and avifauna is good as it helps conservationists to keep track of bird species they use and identify the sustainable ways of this practice that align with the conservation of avifauna species.

The East Coast of Surabaya consists of large mangrove and fish pond areas. These areas are crucial for the ecosystem and for providing food and shelter for the local community. If the water quality decreases the mangroves will not be able to provide these functions. The water quality of these areas can be measured in two ways: by looking at the physico-chemical parameters or by looking at the biological parameters. Both offer a very good view of what state the area is in. The purpose of this study is to find out what the differences are between the Mulyorejo and the Wonorejo areas to see what differences there are within the East Coast of Surabaya and what could be the main cause of these differences. The data shows that the physico-chemical data does not comply with the limitation factors. The main problem are the nutrients which will have to be lowered to preserve the ecosystem. In terms of the biological state of the mangrove, there are few problems found. It is, however, unclear why the tree density in one of the Wonorejo areas is declining and it should be determined what the reason for this is.

Excessive Water

Population growth and human activities such as freshwater resource exploitations continue to have shattering effects on ecological dynamics. These effects are likely not unrelated to issues emanating from climate change and global warming. There is adequate scientific evidence that supports shifting trends in the ecosystem and specifically relating to increased water use and loss of wetlands; that poses a new security challenge for Africa especially, and which without proper intervention, could be catastrophic; resulting in food shortage and profound implications on biodiversity conservation. Many measures have been put in place intended to arrest excessive water extraction; the measures include co-management, encouragement of local community adaptation methods, and good governance. It is unclear whether these methods can catch up with the speed of depletion of the water resources. There is fear that future scarcity in water resources could compound with other issues plaguing Africa to result in conflicts.

Beach Site

The south-east coast of Africa in the later first millennium was busy with boats and the movement of goods from across the Indian Ocean to the interior. The landing places were crucial mediators in this process, in Africa as elsewhere. Investigations at the beach site of Chibuene show that a local community was supplying imported beads to such interior sites as Schroda, with the consequent emergence there of hierarchical power structures.

AbstractIn this chapter, we report the case of a co-design project undertaken in the Shimojin district that was severely damaged by the 2016 Kumamoto Earthquakes. We, IDS3, and local residents have not only attempted to recover the aforementioned district from the damages it suffered due to the earthquakes but also unite its entire community, which is currently suffering from population decline and aging. To supplement its local agriculture, we initiated the co-design project as a means to promote rice branding by adding value by utilizing the biodiversity in the district and transforming the district’s rice paddy fields into eco-friendly paddy systems. We were involved with the project since the consensus building phase owing to our co-design experience with regard to restoration planning at disaster restoration sites and knowledge about the district. We primarily conducted our research in three fields: (1) design of the recovery plan of eco-friendly paddy fields and agricultural ditches, (2) consensus formation for rice branding, (3) exploration of eco-friendly farming method suitable for the region under study.

Local wisdom can be learned through discovery of physical elements of traditional villages, such as spatial layout, architectural objects, and daily activities. The organization prevailing in environment plays an important role in managing a contextual mitigation culture. The co-existence of authority (mandate) masters have the authority of value/cultural capital and to create symbolic elements, such as will or belief. Sindang Barang Cultural Village was taken as a case study to reveal the history and role of the mandate in the culture of disaster mitigation. This study aims to observe the role of the mandate and its impact in disaster mitigation. The role of the mandate is also examined to see the existence of efforts to preserve the values of local wisdom towards the times. This research uses descriptive-qualitative method by tracing the phenomena and artifacts in the field. The analysis carried out in two phases. The first phase is to create a mitigation concept table based on the existing program or artifacts. The second phase is to discuss the mitigation culture based on its classified capacities. The mitigation seen from the Sindang Barang Cultural Village program and artifacts is the risk of fire, earthquake, and landslide. The process of determining a mandate is commensurate with adaptive capacity because this stage tends to lead to restriction or orders about in program that is carried out systematically in particular context.

Objective:   The puerperium is the process of returning the reproductive organs to their pre-pregnancy state that requires special care. Good care is supported by good environmental conditions. The environmental situation in the affected areas has hampered sanitation and daily activities because houses have been submerged in water for a long time. This study aims to determine the knowledge of postpartum care in affected communities, especially in the area of Karangjompo village, Pekalongan Regency Methods: This article  is a descriptive study, a sample of 85 respondents postartum mother in Karangjompo Village was taken by total sampling.Results:   Knowledge of postpartum care for the affected community tidal flood in Karangjompo village is good (49.4%). However, there are still postpartum care criteria, most of which are still lacking, namely the fulfillment of sexual needs (77.6%) and the selection and use of postpartum contraceptives (67.1%).Conclusion:   There is a need for cross-sector collaboration to address various health problems, especially in maternal and child health in areas affected by tidal waves. There is a need for specific guidelines on postpartum care for people affected by rob by taking into account the material and socio-cultural aspects of the local community.
