The northern coast of the Central Java province is considered to be the critical area of flood path. The area is vulnerable to floods because of incessant rain and/or sea-level rise, resulting in suffering to people and the deterioration of the ecosystem. A number of measures have been implemented to manage the problem of floods, although the results are not noteworthy. It is obvious that infrastructure capacity for flood control, community awareness and other multiple factors significantly contribute to averting the problem of flooding in the area. This study aimed to determine the level of flood-zone vulnerability, the level of community resilience to floods and the influence of vulnerability aspects on community resilience. Interviews were conducted to outline the resilience model. A quantitative method was employed to analyse the data. The results of this study indicated that the exposure aspect is the greatest variable in describing flood vulnerability. At the same time, the greatest variables determining community resilience are damages, followed by losses and personal casualties. Among the flood vulnerability aspects are the exposure and adaptive capacities that determine the community resilience of the northern coast of Central Java.

Purpose: The article conducts the study that the northern coast of Central Java province in Indonesia is considered as the critical area of flood path. The region always suffers from floods due to the heavy rain and/or the sea-level rise. Therefore, people are suffering and the ecosystem is deteriorating. Methodology: Vulnerability and resilience are considered based on the use of indicators. An indicator or a set of indicators can be defined as an inherent characteristic that quantitatively estimates the conditions of a system. They usually focus on minor, feasible, palpable and effective part of a system offering people a sense of bigger representation. Therefore, it is very important to know effects on people, cities and natural resources by these indicators. Result: Results of the present study indicated that levels of vulnerability and the community resilience of the northern coast of Central Java to flood were in the medium category. In addition, the level of coastal community resilience was affected by the exposure of flood risk programs and the public adaptive capacity variable. Applications: This research can be used for universities, teachers, and students. Novelty/Originality: A number of efforts have been made to manage and mitigate the flood problems, despite the fact that results are incomplete and still restructuring from time to time. It is realized that infrastructural capacity for flood control, community awareness, and other multi-factors significantly contribute to solving the flood problem in the regions.

Adaptation And Mitigation

The northern coast of Central Java province is considered as the critical area of flood path. Semarang as capital city of this province with its junction area of Kendal and Demak always suffering from flood due to rain and or high tide seawater. It is realised that infrastructures’ capacity for flood control, awareness of people and other multi-factors are significantly contributed on the flood problem in these area. Mixed-methods of quantitative and qualitative are employed to analyze the data. The study found that there was a decline in quality of - people’s life, environment and its ecosystem. Awareness and responsiveness of people and also the other stakeholders are not progressive to overcome the problem of flood. This study is trying to contribute in outlining a model of adaptation and mitigation for the people to restore their ecosystem from the perspective of economist.

Spectral Interpretation

A study was conducted to identify the composition of volatile compounds from traditional fermented shrimp called ‘terasi’. Terasi samples were collected from six regions of northern coast of Central Java, Indonesia namely Pekalongan, Batang, Kendal, Demak, Jepara, and Pati. Mass spectral interpretation showed that terasi from these regions could be identified to contain a total of 102 volatile compounds. Terasi from Pekalongan, Batang, Kendal, Demak, Jepara, and Pati, each contained nine, 21, 10, 29, 12, and 21 volatile compounds respectively. There were four similar volatile compounds from Demak, Jepara, and Pati samples, and two distinctive off odor in all six regions.

Abstract The planning of a flood control system in Indonesia is based on the planning criteria issued by the Ministry of Public Works. Flood control planning is based on flood discharge with a specific return period depending on the order of the river and the number of protected populations. Flood events in areas where the flood control system has been planned continue to occur almost every year, meaning that the probability of being exceeded is not as planned. This study is intended to evaluate the criteria for the magnitude of the designed flood discharge in flood control planning that considers the acceptable risk. Potential risks are evaluated against system reliability. The probability of failure of the flood control system occurs if the resistance is smaller than the load expressed as a performance function. By knowing the performance function associated with the level of flood risk, then the flood discharge can be selected with the appropriate return period according to the acceptable risk.

The Impact

Simple observation of events for the disaster in Indonesia is almost always showed the same picture is a condition in which reactive attitude and spontaneous, unplanned as shown by society and government. There is a general tendency that people do not know how to act or addressing disaster. Regional preparedness in the face of natural disasters is very important. Slamet mountain with an altitude of 3,428 meters above sea level is the highest mountain in Central Java and the second highest in Java. Population data in the area of Mount Slamet and surrounding areas are included in Kawasan Rawan Bencana (disaster-prone areas) is approximately 215 953 inhabitants. Seeing the extent of the area affected by the eruption of Mount Slamet threats can not be taken lightly. This study aimed to explore the networking model for effective disaster risk reduction in disaster-prone areas of Mount Slamet. Networking model for disaster risk reduction is a very important information in order to overcome the impact of the eruption of Mount Slamet.
