Behavior of Some Euthorphication Parameters on Ciliwung Stream (Indonesia)
Sampling of the Ciliwung river was carried out during March to August 1982 at 3 stations viz. Gadog, Bogor and Manggarai-Jakarta, Which are 16 km, 26 km and 86 km respectively from the source. Eutrophication parameters measured were HN4+, NO2-, ortho-P, total organic matter and BOD5. The ralationship between distance from source (X) and eutrophication parameter (Y) can be expressed by the equation Y = b1X + b (Where b1 and b are constants). This model was used to estimate the concentration of a eutrophication parameter at a certain distance from the water source. It is assumed that the total population density and industrial activities in the area is constant over a short period of time. [Authors' abstract].
Natural Hazards, Risk and Vulnerability
Different people handle risk in different ways. The current lack of understanding about this heterogeneity in risk behaviour makes it difficult to intervene effectively in risk-prone communities. Natural Hazards, Risk and Vulnerability offers a unique insight in the everyday life of a group of riverbank settlers in Jakarta - one of the most vulnerable areas worldwide in terms of exposure to natural hazards. Based on long-term fieldwork, the book portrays the often creative and innovative ways in which slum dwellers cope with recurrent floods. The book shows that behaviour that is often described as irrational or ineffective by outside experts can be highly pragmatic and often effective. This...
Development Planning for Ecotourism
Ciliwung River is the longest river passing in the centre of Jakarta, Capital City of Indonesia. Its history and existence are very important to the community life as well as urban landscape. Now days, along the river, there are various problems such land use change, cleanliness, flood hazards and water pollutions. The objective of this research was to evaluate the river s potential area for developing the river area to be urban ecotourism by identifying its tourism resources, analyzing its tourism objects and attractions, and planning the development of Ciliwung s river corridor. A qualitative method was carried out to analyze data. The research of these data analyze, then, was overlaid in order to get a potential zone for urban ecotourism. The research results show that only some part of the upstream Ciliwung River is classified as suitable zone with a very high potency for developing urban ecotourism, the middle part as a lower one, and the downstream as moderate one. Planning for the development of urban ecotourism is made for every zone according to its potential classification which are the highest will become the centre of development.
Urban Flood Risk Management
Like so many of the coastal cities in Southeast Asia (and other regions) established during European colonialism, there has been an ongoing challenge for decades dealing with the growing frequency and intensity of flooding. Jakarta’s flood problems since the 1990s have been nothing less than monumental and the inability of the local and national governments to mitigate flooding in Jakarta is the most visible manifestation of fundamental water management deficiencies. This book offers a comprehensive and systematic historical assessment of Jakarta’s water management practices from the colonial era through the early years of the Indonesian republic and Jakarta’s emergence as a sprawling ...
