Study of user perception in Janggan Park, Denpasar. Janggan Park is a park located in Denpasar City withdesigned like the janggan kite which was inaugurated on January 5, 2017 by the Vice Governor of Bali. Janggan park there is also a children's play ground and gym facilities. The purpose of this study is to measurethe visitor's perception of the beauty, comfort, and safety of Janggan Park in Denpasar and to provide someinput to the manager or agency concerned in order to improve the quality of the site. The method used in thisresearch was direct observation to the field, interview, and questionnaire. Based on the research conducted,the results showed that the perception of visitors about the beauty of Janggan Park was beautiful, but thereare some part in the garden were less beautiful, that is gym area. The visitor's perception of comfort at JangganPark was comfortable. Then, the visitor's perception about the secure at Janggan Park was safe. According tothe visitor perception of cleanliness at Janggan Park still less clean and need more attention on maintenance because cleanliness also influence the beauty, comfort, and visitor safety. It can be suggested that the managerneed to improve the hygiene, supervision, and to improve exsisting facility in Janggan Park.

<p>We develop a technique for reconstructing floods in small-scale data scarce regions using field interview data and hydro-dynamic modelling. The field interview data consist of flood depths and duration data collected from 300 buildings from a flood event in 2017 in Suleja/Tafa area, Nigeria. The flood event resulted from an overflow of water from five river reaches. The hydrodynamic model utilized, called CAESER LisFLOOD, is an integration of a landscape evolution model (CAESER) and a hydraulic model (LisFLOOD-FP). We employ three steps to reconstruct the 2017 Suleja/Tafa flood event. Firstly, we use a linearly increasing hydrograph to; (a) calibrate Manning’s coefficient and (b) determine optimal peak discharge on each reach. This was carried out by minimizing the Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) between the distributed observed flood depths and the simulated flood depths. Secondly, we use synthetic hydrographs with durations between 6, 12, 18, 20, 24 hours, having peak discharge (extracted from the previous step), to simulate flows on all upstream reaches. Using collected flood duration data, we minimized RMSE between distributed observed flood duration and simulated flood duration to determine optimal flow durations on each upstream reach. In the last step, utilizing peak discharge and flow duration for all upstream reaches, we carried out multiple spatial and temporal iterations to match downstream peak discharge. Thereafter, we use determined upstream hydrographs with their relative catchment response timing to simulate the entire river network. Minimum RMSE computed for the entire river network was between ±15 cm of many current studies that use distributed observed data to calibrate flood models. The method developed in this study is useful for simulating floods in regions where data such as high resolution DEMs, river bathymetry and river discharge are limited. In addition, the study extends current knowledge, on utilizing distributed flood data to determine peak discharge, from a single to multiple river networks.</p>

Analysis of General Principles of Public Service at the Industry and Trade Office of Kerinci Regency. Every community certainly really hopes for the existence of general principles of public services in providing services to the community, especially at the Kerinci Regency Industry and Trade Office. In order to provide satisfactory services to service users, service delivery must meet the general principles of good governance in order to create customer satisfaction, which is a measure of the success of a public service. The formulation of the research problem, namely, how are the general principles of public services at the Kerinci Regency Industry and Trade Service. The objective of the research is to find out the general principles of public services in the Kerinci Regency Industry and Trade Service. This research uses a qualitative approach where data is obtained through field interview guides to 7 informants referring to 6 research indicators, namely 1. Transparency 2. Accountability 3. Conditional 4. Participation 5. Non-Discriminatory. 6. Balance of Rights and Obligations. The data obtained in the field were analyzed based on the classification of the informants' answers which were described in the results and discussion of the research which was then carried out by the interpretative researcher. It is known that the General Principles of Public Service at the Industry and Trade Office of Kerinci Regency, from the six research indicators, five indicators are well implemented, namely accountability, conditionality, participation, non-discrimination and balance of rights and obligations, while transparency indicators have not been maximally implemented. For this reason, the authors suggest that the General Principles of Public Service in the Kerinci Regency Industry and Trade Service can be improved so that they are more transparent in providing services to the community.

The study explored the characteristics of coastal farmers in Kulon Progo Regency. It emphasized the issues of the socio-economical arrangements of farmers in marginal and resource-poor area and the access of farmers to productive capital. The research will contribute to development practitioners and policymakers in prescribing the context-specific policies and programs. In doing so, the research aimed at exploring the characteristics of coastal farmers in aspects like age, educational level, farming experiences and monthly income, as well as uncover their access to productive capital. The data came from a survey carried out using a questionnaire-based field interview, which adopted and used a simple random sampling method to select 60 respondents. The result of this research showed that the average age of coastal farmers is 43.2 years. In majority, farmers went to school for 10-12 years or were graduated from high school. Besides, 86.53% of the farmers had more than 10-year experience, which indicated that farming in coastal areas was profitable. The average monthly income of coastal farmers was 6 million rupiahs during peak season. Chili, the most profitable crop, contributed as the primary source of income, mostly when the selling price was high. Access to land, livestock, transportation (motorbike), extension services, internet and informal institution were considered high and very high, while access to four-wheeled transportation, credit and formal institution (farmers’ group) were medium and low.

Abstract Backgraound: The aim of this study was to document and preserve the ethnomedicinal knowledge used by traditional healers of Begumganj upazila, Bangladesh, to treat human diseases and evaluate the relative efficacy of the medicinal plants.Methods: The uses of medicinal plants were documented as an ethnomedicinal data sheet using direct observation, field interview, plant interview and group interview techniques from December 2012 to January 2014 in the study area. Data were collected from 98 traditional healers through a questionnaire survey and analyzed through informant consensus factor and fidelity level.Results: Overall, 75 plant species under 71 genera of 47 families were documented, which are used to treat 41 diseases. Data analysis revealed that 41.33%, 14.67%, 36% and 8% of the medicinal plant species were herbs, shrubs, trees, and climbers, respectively. Leaves were the most used parts, followed by stem, root, fruit, bark, latex and rhizome. The most frequently treated diseases were dysentery, rheumatism and skin diseases.Conclusions: This is the first ethnobotanical survey, which recorded the importance of medicinal plants in Begumgonj upazila, Bangladesh. This study can contribute to preserving the indigenous knowledge on the traditional use of medicinal plants in this region and attract future generations towards traditional healing practice.
