AbstractThis study highlights the vulnerabilities faced by a resource-deprived riverine community in Borneo (the Sadong Jaya community), particularly in dealing with different types of socio-ecological risks enhanced by the impacts of climate change. The sustainable development goals (SDGs) promote resilience and Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) as cornerstones of sustainable development. It is in this light that this chapter studies how a local community can sustain their livelihoods while coping with environmental and economic stresses and shocks. Comparisons and reflections are then made by referring to the findings of past studies carried out among other riverine communities to highlight the similarities and, more importantly, the uniqueness of adaptation mechanisms. Findings presented in the chapter are derived from content analysis based on the data collected from four Focus Group Discussions (FGD) and in-depth interviews with the key informants. Despite the fact that Borneo is a resource-rich region where most areas are blessed with an abundance of resources, there are also regions that have limited natural and economic or capital assets, or limited access to them. This situation raises the question of how a community that is located in a disadvantaged region, resource-wise, can adapt and strive to become more resilient. These findings illustrate the need for a comprehensive community strategy to reduce risk, increase resilience and support long-term survival.

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. 


Regional development always stimulates urbanization, growing demographic and generating needs of housing. In Kampung Sruni, an urban kampung settlement in Wonosobo Regency, Indonesia, people built new houses on the lands which are the remaining green pockets amidst the settlement. In addition, green space area aimed to maintain ecosystem balance are absent within the new house planning. The challenge of designing green space in built settlement is the availability of land which is many in quantity, scattered and relatively small in size. On the other hand, this kampung has been designated as urban tourism destinations in Wonosobo, promoting people, socio-cultural activities and the green valley landscape setting. This paper offers alternative architectural perspective to design green public space which engages community, culture and urban kampung landscape fabric. Together with inhabitants as local community, strategy to replenish the degrading green spaces was done by creating sustainable design for inhabitant’s current and future need, environment and tourism. Interestingly, beside the main function as green public space, the spatial component arrangement of the designs creates various types of vista offering view of man-made, man-made and nature, and fully nature landscape. Moreover, topography along this green public spaces network would generate observer’s body a motorically spatial experience

Abstract. As a response to the lack of quantitative and reliable measures of the team adaptation process, the aim of the present study was to develop and validate an instrument for assessing the four phases of the team adaptation process as described by Rosen and colleagues (2011) . Two trained raters and two subject matter expert groups contributed to the development of four behaviorally anchored rating scales (BARS) that span across the spectrum of team processes involved in each team adaptation phase. To validate the four BARS, two different trained raters assessed independently the team adaptation phases of 66 four-person teams. The validation study provided empirical support for the BARS’ psychometric adequacy. The BARS measures overcame the common middle anchor problem, showed sensitivity in differentiating between teams and between the four phases, showed evidence for acceptable reliability, construct, and criterion validity, and supported the theoretical team adaptation process assumptions. The study contributes to research and praxis by enabling the direct assessment of the overall team adaptation process, thereby facilitating our understanding of this complex phenomenon. This allows the identification of behavioral strengths and weaknesses for targeted team development and comprehensive team adaptation studies.
