The eruption of Mount Merapi has caused a serious impact on dairy farming in Sleman Regency. The death of livestock and the destruction of forage has decreased the income of dairy farmers, which is the main livelihood of the community. This study aims to analyze the profitability, the factors that influence the level of milk production, the level of technical efficiency, and the factors that cause the in-efficiency of dairy farming in Sleman Regency. This study used a questionnaire on 62 respondents. Analysis of profitability and production functions of the stochastic frontier is used for data analysis. The results showed that the business activities of dairy farming in Sleman Regency were profitable businesses with an average income from cash production costs per year is Rp. 18,347,565.38 per livestock business or Rp. 6,437,742.24 per unit of livestock. Factors that influence milk production were concentrate feed and the amount of livestock ownership. The level of technical efficiency of dairy farmers is 88.9%. The level of technical efficiency was influenced by the age of the farmer and animal’s health examination.

The dynamics of plantation farming occure in some regions has been widely discussed. One  example  is the plantation farming at North Moriwali (Indonesian: Morowali Utara). There are two groups of farmers living in North Morowali territory, particularly in the Sub-District of North Mori. The first group chooses to make a living by cultivating cocoa, for the following reasons: 1) avoiding the risk of being lost, 2) Easy access to market, 3) Business capital, and 4) Cocoa is a sustainable plant. The second group is farmers who decide to make replacement on their cocoa plantation to other commodities (commodity change). This article will discuss factors influencing these farmers in making the replacement.Kata Kunci: dinamika perkebunan, perkebunan, petani, kakao, perubahan komoditas.

This article aims to measure poverty based on the perspective of water resource using the mix of qualitative and quantitative methods. The study was conducted in Salatiga which is rich of water resources potential. Although it has a highwater potential, distribution of raw water by the PDAM could only cover 40% households, while other households rely on springs in order to meet the needs of raw water. The water springs spreads in nearly 64 spots in Salatiga, however, they reduced to only 36 spots due to many factors. Some springs which contributes to large water flow are usually located in a settlement with limited access to good sanitation. Our study however, shows that the Water Poverty Index of Salatiga was 0.84 or 84% which indicates a good level of welfare and human resource quality of the people. This is also in alignment to the Human Development Index which was found to 77.13. Finally, the prosperity of the community and the human resource could be increased when the policy on water resource and environmental management is consistently implemented.

This article specifically discusses the participation of local communities in tourism development in Karimunjawa National Park, which is administratively a part of Jepara Regency, Central Java Province. This research uses a qualitative approach, the research findings show that the participation of local communities in Karimunjawa is realized through the formation of the Tourism Local Transportation Association, the Lodging Association, the Tourism Ship Association, the Culinary Association, and the Tour Guides Association which are members of the Indonesian Tour Guides Association. also encouraged to offer local Karimunjawa superior products in the form of food, beverages, and handicraft products to tourists visiting Karimunjawa to support the economic development and empowerment of the Karimunjawa community.

The purposes of this study are: (1) To estimate the real number of people who live- in Kelurahan Karang Indah; (2) To analyze the pattern of domestic water consumption of Kelurahan Karang Indah community; (3) To analyze the ethnic characteristics of the domestic water consumption patterns; (4) To analyze the adaptation and mitigation community of the clean water. The results showed that the real number of people who live in Kelurahan Karang Indah was two times higher than the statistic data. The water consumed for domestic activities was 51.6 liters/day/capita which is higher than Indonesian National Standar (46 liters/day/capita). There are no significant differences in the patterns of domestic consumption between dry season and rainy season. Awyu people were known for using more water than other tribes especially for bathing, drinking and washing, while for cooking Marind people use more water than other tribes. There is no specific adaptation- in clean water consumptions. The people adaptation for water consumption are indicated by their habit of drinking less water than required, queuing up at night to get clean water and using poor water quality for bathing or washing.

<em><span lang="EN-US">Semarang as one of the big cities in Central Java has provided public transportation which is Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) as an effort to reduce congestion and the use of private transpotation. There are eight main corridor and one special corridor that are provides until 2021, one of them is Corridor II with Terboyo-Sisemut Route. This study is aim to analyze the servce performance of Corridor II with the optimalization the use of BRT in this route, find the problem factors that influence and formulate the step for quality services improvement. The method of this study is quantitative method by calculating the weight value through assessment indicators based on the standards of the Director General of Transportation. These indicators are obtained from the results of dynamic surveys and static surveys. From the analysis, the service performance of BRT Corridor II at Terminal Terboyo-Sisemut PP is in good category. The number of fleets needed in corridor II is 21 units. Based on the results of the evaluation, one recommendation to improve the quality service of BRT is to make a special lane for BRT to make travel time faster, so that users are more interested in using BRT.</span></em>

Increased urbanization and the increase in the number of housing areas or settlements that are less organized, accompanied by increasing slums. Slum settlement is defined as a residential area that is unfit for habitation with irregular building conditions, has a high level of building density, with the quality of buildings and facilities and infrastructure that do not meet the requirements. The problem of this research is the low coverage of solid waste services and the increasing volume of non-organic waste that is difficult to recycle and the level of public awareness about cleanliness is the main problem of waste management. The purpose of this research is to solve the problem of solid waste as an effort to prevent settlements from slums and to create a community that cares about waste management. The conclusion of this research is the need for regular waste transportation services to TPS / TPA so that the Pecangaan area becomes cleaner, the procurement of trash bins for each RT so that the waste can be well accommodated and the infrastructure for the process of transporting waste, socializing to the community at community meetings about the importance of waste management that is carried out in a sustainable manner, providing incentives for communities / groups / areas that are able to manage their waste properly as pilot areas, providing training to residents on waste management with the 3R concept (Reuse, Reduce, Recycle).

There are non physical factors playing important role in a process named knowledge diffusion which creates innovation. They are the capacities of knowledge acquirement, knowledge assimilation, and knowledge transformation which represent the absortive capacity in knowledge diffusion. As a policy consideration, promoting innovation within cluster can be conducted by developing basic infrastructure as well as research and development infrastructure. Furthermore, collective adaptation also plays an important role in the process of knowledge diffusion hence social capacity in the cluster should be strengthened.  </span></em></p></td></tr></tbody></table></div><p class="Abstract"><em><span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></em></p><p class="Abstract"><em><span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></em></p></td></tr></tbody></table></div>
