Central Kalimantan covers an area of 157,983 km2 with more than 2,000 km2 of tropical peatlands, which is one of the buffer regions of Indonesia's new capital government city. However, the sad story is the conversion of about one million hectares from peat swamp forests (PSF) to rice fields occurred in the mid-1990s, so called the Mega Rice Project (MRP). Since then, forest and peatland fires become an annual event due to high level of degradation under the climate change symptoms such the frequent of the El Niño event. In very strong El Niño of 2015, Indonesia has returned to the world spotlight in relation to the fires and the haze crisis. The most fire prone area was recorded in the iconic Tumbang Nusa, Pulang Pisau Regency and its adjecent areas. However, the thick haze had covered almost the entire province. There are the dis-adventages impact during more than two months. Therefore, this study was to investigate what are the causes and the impacts of this disaster at the site level. This research location was focuses on three regencies and one city namely Pulang Pisau, Kapuas, Katingan and Palangka City. The method was a Focus Group Discussion (FGD) with key figures representing eight clusters of village communities. This method is also supported by statistical, hotspots and spatial data for additional analysis. The result are only two villages with very high average of hotspot and eight with high average of hotspots in Pulang Pisau and Kapuas Regency. Further, the FGDs in seven villages showed that there were three main clusters that caused forest-land fires, namely natural factors, human factors and village policy / regulation factors. The villages study that were affected by the fire in 2015 showed there were three main impacts namely on people, environment and capital. This result is a foundation of cause-effect factor for further Root Cause Analysis to find out the options for fire prevention and management in climate change mitigation efforts.

Salah satu faktor penentu keberhasilan budidaya pertanian di lahan rawa pasang surut adalah waktu tanam.Waktu tanam tanaman pangan terutama padi mempunyai peranan yang sangat penting pada produksi akhir hasilpertanian. Di Indonesia saat ini dikenal 3 Musim Tanam, yaitu musim hujan, antara bulan November-Pebruari,musim kemarau I, antara bulan Maret-Juni; dan musim kemarau II, antara bulan Juli-Oktober. Akan tetapi,dinamika perubahan iklim seperti kekeringan (El Nino) dan kebasahan (La Nina) yang tidak menentu, berimbaspada pergeseran awal dan akhir musim tanam serta berdampak negatif bagi produktivitas tanaman padi. Adanyahal tersebut, analisis tentang waktu tanam padi di lahan rawa pasang surut Pulau Kalimantan perlu dilakukan.Waktu tanam di lahan pasang surut dimulai setelah jumlah air hujan mencukupi untuk melarutkan kadar besi yangada di dalam air. Realisasi tanam di Provinsi Kalimantan Barat umumnya terjadi pada Dasarian 28 (Oktober),Kalimantan Timur pada Dasarian 31 (November), serta Kalimantan Selatan dan Kalimantan Tengah pada Dasarian7 (Maret). Waktu tanam di lahan rawa pasang surut menunjukkan tingkat kekukuhan yang tinggi terhadapperubahan iklim, dimana waktu tanam tidak terlalu berubah selama 10 tahun pada kondisi iklim yang berbeda.Kata kunci: dasarian, luapan, air hujan, kekukuhanABSTRACTOne of the critical factors for agricultural cultivation in tidal swamp land is cropping time. Paddy croppingtime has a very important role in the final production of agricultural cultivation. Currently, there are 3 croppingtime in Indonesia, in the rainy season (November to February), first of dry season (March to June), and second ofdry season, (July to October). However, the climate change dynamic such as drought (El Nino) and wetness (LaNina), shifting the cropping time and resulting a negative impact on the productivity of paddy rice. Therefore, ananalysis of the rice cropping time needs to be done on Kalimantan tidal swampland area. Cropping time in thetidal swampland area began after the amount of rain was sufficient to dissolve the levels of iron in water. In WestKalimantan, the cropping time realization generally occurs in Dasarian 28 (October), while East Kalimantan onDasarian 31 (November), and South Kalimantan and Central Kalimantan on Dasarian 7 (March). Cropping timein tidal swamp land showed a high level of resistance to climate change, in which planting time did not changefor 10 years in different climatic conditions.Key words: decadal, tidal, rainwater, substantiality

Different tools and techniques of participatory approaches are the basic way of conducting qualitative research especially in the field of applied social science. Focus Group Discussion (FGD) is one of the main Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) technique often used in combination with others to achieve desired goals. Considering this concept, this paper attempts to review the PRA approach and then application of FGD, in combination with matrix scoring and ranking to identify problems and causes of climate change along with possible mitigation and adaptation strategies. A group of 20 students at post graduate level under the faculty of Agriculture and Horticulture at Humboldt University of Berlin, Germany those from different corner of the world was considered as target people of the study. The results concluded that “unpredictable weather events” was ranked as the present outstanding visible climate change problem caused by “human activities”. However, it was noted that if alternative renewable energy sources are exploited, this could contribute to solving the present climate change problem. This finding might have the good reference for the policy makers in the same line not only for developing countries but also for developed countries.

This study aims to estimate the difficulty level of high-level reasoning math problems by comparing the estimated difficulty level of the Focus Group Discussion (FGD) approach and the Iteman program. The estimation of the FGD approach uses a semantic differential scale on a scale of 1-7, while the Iteman program uses version 4.0. The study used a quantitative-comparative approach involving 79 FGDs of students and teachers of SMP/MTs in Soppeng Regency. Each FGD consisted of four people, one teacher and three students of class VIII. The comparative of difficulty level using Scheffe test with a significance level of 0.05. The results showed that the average level of difficulty in the FGD approach had significant similarity with the average level of difficulty in the output of the Iteman program approach. This means that the estimated level of difficulty of the FGD examinees has a similarity with the output of the Iteman program from the response data of the FGD examinees. This shows that examinees  from FGD in assessing the level of difficulty of high-level reasoning questions can be the teacher’s choice in schools other than the Iteman program.

<p class="Abstract">fires in Indonesia. About thirty percent of the total fires are spread in Central Kalimantan Province. Symptoms of climate change in the form of increasingly frequent weather and extreme climate phenomena support the severity of forest and land fires which results in increased release of air pollution gases. In 2015, the peak fire months had emitted a high concentration of air pollutant gasses and causes hazardous air pollution. This study aims to investigate the latest severe fire occurrence and haze conditions in Central Kalimantan. Hotspot data was from 2006 to 2017, visibility data were from four times of El Niño event, Particle Matter Size 10 (PM 10) data and Pollution Standard Index (PSI) was from very strong El Niño in 2015 comparison to La Niña in 2016/2017. The results showed that the top incidents occurred not only very strong in 2015 but also weak El Niño in 2006. The most of dense hotspots density in the last twelve years (&gt; 50% of fires in the area) found in peatlands in Pulang Pisau, Palangka Raya and Kapuas.  Palangka Raya's case, dangerous of APSI with PM10 concentrations of more than 500 µg m-3 occurred for 2 (two) months, from the end of August to the early of November 2015. The maximum peak concentration of PM10 is as high as 3000 μg m-3, which is higher than other fire years. Based on the data obtained, the haze was blanketed Palangka Raya was getting thicker at the end of October. As a result, visibility is decreasingly limited, only around 200 to 900 m during the peak season and air pollution-related-peat fire. Thus, this severe condition could rose multiple effects, which will exacerbate climate change, environmental sustainability and the livelihoods of thousands of peoples.</p>

The study investigates the extent women participate in politics in Nigeria. Abia and Imo states were closely studied. Two hypotheses were formulated. The instruments used for data collection were questionnaire, interview and focus group discussion. A total of 354 copies of questionnaire were distributed, out of this number, 349 copies were completed and returned by the respondents. Z-test statistical tool was used to analyze the data, Based on the analysis, the major findings revealed that violence against women deter women from getting actively involved in politics in Nigeria. Also culture and traditional ethos prevent the advancement of women in politics also. Based on these findings, the following recommendations among others were proffered: Political mobilization should be carried into the villages to sensitize the women on the need to get involved in politics. More so new laws should be enacted on political thuggery and violence. They should be pursued vigorously to curb the high level of violence meted out to women by their male political counterparts in Nigeria.

Salah satu habitat gajah yang masih tersisa adalah Kawasan Taman Nasional Gunung Leuser (TNGL), terutama di wilayah Besitang. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengidentifikasi karakteristik sosial ekonomi, kepemilikan lahan, pemetaan wilayah dan mitigasi konflik manusia dengan gajah di Resort Besitang, TNGL. Metode pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan penyebaran kuesioner, wawancara dan Focus Group Discussion (FGD). Analisis data menggunakan tabel frekuensi dan analisa deskriptif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa wilayah yang memiliki potensi konflik gajah di Resort Besitang adalah Daerah Halaban, Aras Senapal, Sekundur, Bukit Selamat dan Bukit Mas dengan intensitas konflik rendah sampai tinggi. Penyebab utama konflik manusia dengan gajah adalah fragmentasi kawasan hutan,  ketidakpastian status lahan di daerah penyangga, pertumbuhan penduduk yang tinggi dan meningkatnya pendatang di wilayah Besitang, perambahan dan ilegal logging yang terus terjadi, minimnya kesadaran masyarakat dan peranan lembaga desa dalam mendukung konservasi gajah. Rekomendasi resolusi mitigasi konflik gajah diantaranya: 1) memperbaiki habitat gajah yang sudah terfragmentasi di dalam kawasan TNGL; 2) meningkatkan peran Tim CRU (Conservation Response Unit); 3) membentuk unit reaksi cepat penanganan konflik gajah dengan melibatkan para pihak; 4) menanam jenis tanaman yang tidak disukai dan dijauhi oleh gajah; 5) mereduksi ketergantungan masyarakat akan sistem pertanian yang membutuhkan lahan yang luas; 6) mengembangkan program untuk membantu peningkatan hasil panen; dan,  7) penyuluhan untuk meningkatkan pemahaman bahwa gajah merupakan bagian dari ekosistem yang harus lestari.   Kata kunci: gajah, konflik, habitat, Besitang, Taman Nasional Gunung Leuser

Palabras Clave

La variabilidad climática es la norma que ha modulado la vida en el planeta. Este trabajo demuestra que las pesquerías y acuicultura costera ecuatorianas no son la excepción, puesto que tales actividades están fuertemente influenciadas por la variabilidad ENSO (El Niño-Oscilación del Sur) y PDO (Oscilación Decadal del Pacífico), planteándose que la señal del cambio climático debe contribuir a esta influencia. Se destaca también que, en el análisis de los efectos de la variabilidad climática sobre los recursos pesqueros, el esfuerzo extractivo también debe ser considerado. Por su parte, la acción actual de la PDO está afectando la señal del cambio climático, encontrándose actualmente en fases opuestas. Se espera que estas señales entren en fase a finales de esta década, y principalmente durante la década de los 20 y consecuentemente se evidencien con mayor fuerza los efectos del Cambio Climático. Palabras Clave: Variabilidad Climática, Cambio Climático, ENSO, PDO, Pesquerías, Ecuador. ABSTRACT Climate variability is the standard that has modulated life in the planet. This work shows that the Ecuadorian  fisheries and aquaculture are not the exception, since such activities are strongly influenced by ENSO variability (El Niño - Southern Oscillation) and PDO (Pacific Decadal Oscillation), considering that the signal of climate change should contribute to this influence. It also emphasizes that in the analysis of the effects of climate variability on the fishing resources, the extractive effort must also be considered. For its part, the current action of the PDO is affecting the signal of climate change, now found on opposite phases. It is hoped that these signals come into phase at the end of this decade, and especially during the decade of the 20’s and more strongly evidencing the effects of climate change. Keywords: Climate variability, climate change, ENSO (El Niño - Southern Oscillation) and PDO  (Pacific Decadal Oscillation); fisheries, Ecuador. Recibido: mayo, 2012Aprobado: agosto, 2012
