ENHANCING COASTAL RESILIENCY OF HYPOTHETICAL LAND RECLAMATION SCENARIOS WITH MANGROVE FOREST AND OYSTER REEF ASSESSED BY ADCIRC AND SWAN STORM SURGE MODEL

This study aims to assess the effectiveness of mangrove forests and oyster reefs on reducing the damages from typhoons in hypothetical land reclamation scenarios in Atimonan, Philippines. Storm surge simulations were ran using ADCIRC and SWAN coupled model on the local government unit’s (LGU) land reclamation plan and the proposed crenulate bay reclamation plan, both with concrete seawall, mangrove forests and oyster reefs. Inputs to the model include modified topography and bathymetry, coastline, land cover, typhoon Durian data and tidal potential constituents. Simulations show that the crenulate bay reclamation plan is better by 39.15% than the LGU’s land reclamation plan on reducing typhoon winds and storm surge inundation extent induced by Typhoon Durian. However, this advantage comes with an additional implementation cost of 11.02%. This study is envisioned to help the land reclamation project of Atimonan LGU to be resilient against typhoon winds and coastal inundation.

Tingkat keberhasilan reklamasi lahan bekas tambang batubara pada PT Bukit Baiduri Energi Kabupaten Kutai Kartanegara kota Samarinda Kalimantan Timur

Kartanegara Regency and Samarinda City East Kalimantan. From the results of the research and evaluation of the reclamation plan documents and RKTTL, as well as the reclamation implementation report, the Backfilling plan for 2017 is 35.80 Ha and is realized at 22.36 Ha, so that the percentage of success rates reaches 62,46%. The land management and land revegetation plan for 2017 is 62.12 Ha and is realized at 10.26 Ha, so that the percentage of success rate is 16.52%. Revegetation of PT BBE land for the last 3 (three) years from 2015-2017 with a plan of 165.17 Ha and realized as much as 129.05 Ha, resulting in a percentage of success rate of 78.13%, but when compared with the total realization of reclamation (land arrangement ) amounting to 109.06 Ha, realization of revegetation 129.05 Ha, then the success rate of revegetation of reclaimed land is 118.33%. This shows that PT BBE's commitment to environmental management is quite good. Based on the results of laboratory analysis, water quality at all outlet points of PT BBE compliance still meets environmental quality standards of pH 6-7 (BML 6-9). While the soil quality of top soil does not meet environmental quality standards (soil pH 3.68). Based on the overall evaluation results, the percentage of successful reclamation implementation at PT BBE is 78.43% (categorized as moderate).

Musik Indie Sebagai Praktik Perlawanan Terhadap Rencana Reklamasi Teluk Benoa, Bali

This study aimed at analyzing indie music movement as an anti-reclamationmovement at Benoa Bay, Badung Regency, in 2013 – 2018. There were three problems analyzedin this study; the representation of indie music as a resistance practice towards Benoa Bayreclamation plan, the ideology behind the music as a resistance practice towards Benoa Bayreclamation plan, and the significance of the resistance practice towards Benoa Bay reclamationplan. This study applied qualitative method with interviews, document studies and observation astechniques of collecting data. The obtained data were analyzed by using the theories ofKnowledge Power, Practice and Semiotics.There were three conclusions drawn from the analysis. Firstly, in its movement ofrefusing reclamation plan at Benoa Bay, the indie music made efforts to represent people’saspirations through the lyrics of the songs performed in the anti-reclamation demonstrations.Through the articulation of the anti-reclamation message in music, the people felt that theiraspirations were represented in the music. Secondly, the ideology behind the anti-reclamation movement was environmental conservation ideology and culture. The lyrics of the songsarticulated that the reclamation would damage the environment and disrespectful to the Balineseculture. Thirdly, the significance of the indie music’s resistance practice was seen from theintense aspirations from the people to cancel Presidential Regulation 51 in 2014, so thatreclamation plan could be cancelled.

The Effectiveness of Social Media Usage within Social Movement to Reject the Reclamation of the Jakarta Bay, Indonesia

Presidental Degree No. 95 of 1995 in the era of President Soeharto was a fundamental basis in reclamation planning. The reason for the reclamation is to develop the Pantura area as an economic area and land expansion in Jakarta. However, this policy was opposed by many groups, one of which was the Ministry of the Environment by issuing the results of the 2003 Environmental Impact Study which stated that reclamation was not feasible to be continued. In addition, the reclamation plan had the potential to harm 17,000 fishermen who lived in the Jakarta bay reclamation development area; they felt the impact socially, economically and environmentally. The purpose of this study is to analyze the effectiveness of the reclamation rejection movement in the digital age. The paradigm of this research is constructivism, with qualitative and quantitative method approaches. Data retrieval on social media was carried out in Python 3 and Drone Emprit Academic to obtain SNA results and conversation trends and the distribution of issue locations on Twitter. This research was conducted in the Kaliadem and Kalibaru Fishermen Village, North Jakarta, involving 50 respondents and 5 informants. The result showed that social media has an effective role in encouraging the sensitivity of public attitudes in the movement. This is evidenced by the expansion of the message to reject reclamation in various regions, and it can encourage policy changes.

Landfill Slope Stability Improvement Incorporating Reinforcements in Reclamation Process Applying Observational Method

This paper concerns a case study presenting one of the biggest landfills in Poland that required application of complex engineering works to extend the deposing capacity of the structure. The shear strength parameters of the subsoil and waste material used for analyses were based on geotechnical investigation and were then applied in slope stability analyses of the landfill. For the purpose of safety management of the new development and reclamation plan for the landfill, an observational method was applied to increase the geotechnical safety of the structure. The slope reinforcement methods mainly included the geogrid, geocomposite, and berms construction. However, much of the uncertainty associated with the stability of the geogrid-reinforced slope is related to the time-dependent deformation of geosynthetic materials. For the purpose of changes in the geogrid parameters with time, the samples were excavated from the landfill slope after 20 years of exploitation and analyzed in the laboratory. The tests allowed precise determination of the material properties, changing geometry, and mechanical properties like tensile strength and strain. Obtained results were compared to parameters of the brand-new geogrid samples. The tests indicated only insignificant changes in geosynthetics, physical, or mechanical performance properties, and the slope has not been compromised in its stability or performance.

THE MOVEMENT OF BALI REJECT RECLAMATION (The Phenomenological Study Of Balinese Society Movement Rejects Benoa Bay Reclamation Among #ForBALI Alliances)

Bali known as tourism area, with a distinctive culture and art that makes tourists interested to visiting Bali. Bali is now faced with 838-hectare Benoa Reclamation Bay project plan that reap the pros and cons of the community. The pros and cons that arise and become polemical due to various considerations if the project is built. One of the reactions given by most Balinese to the reclamation policy of Benoa Bay was the rejection of reclamation, then formed a community alliance incorporated in ForBALI (Forum Rakyat Bali Tolak Reklamasi). The #forbali alliance is moving massively and consistently voicing rejection of the reclamation plan. The purpose of this research is to try to find out the motives of ForBALI reject the reclamation project of Benoa Bay and to know the meaning of rejection to the plan of reclamation project of Benoa Bay. This research uses qualitative method with phenomenology approach. The key informants in this study are from activists, students, and musicians that aware with environment issues about reclamation. The results of this study indicate that the five motives behind the rejection of reclamation are the urge of curiosity, the feeling of love, the fear, want to influence others, and feel lied to. The movement of rejection reclamation has a symbol that is clenching the left hand upwards.

KAJIAN SEMIOTIKA PADA KARTUN BERTEMAKAN TOLAK REKLAMASI TELUK BENOA KARYA PUTU DIAN UJIANA

Bali became one of the world's best tourism destinations. Environment and culture are still awake to make a small island nicknamed the island of this god is in great demand by the tourists. This excellence is a source of energy in driving the wheels of the economy in Bali. However, this has to sacrifice some environmental sustainability to support infrastructure in the tourism sector. Such as the conversion of land into villas, hotels and others, even today which is still a hot issue in Bali is a plan to reclaim Teluk Benoa area. This unease that makes the Balinese people began to realize the side effects of tourism progress. Balinese people are known as individuals who love the environment because they are familiar with the concept of palemahaan (good relationship with the environment). This concept is a reference community to reject the project, one of which is Dian. Dian is a cartoonist who is known to be active in the campaign against the reclamation in Teluk Benoa. His cartoon works, drafted forms that could signal a message to awaken some Balinese still expecting a reclamation project. Dian's cartoons designed as a rejection of the full reclamation of semiotics, signs and meanings. Through his cartoons, Dian not only wants to entertain through his funny display of cards, but also wants to invite and realize the Balinese people, that reclamation will not only bring financial benefits, but the dangers of environmental damage will come at any time as a side effect of the reclamation plan Tanjung Benoa.
