ABSTRACT
The oceans play a major role in weather and climate because over 70% of the Earth's surface is covered by oceans. The atmosphere picks up most of its moisture and heat from the oceans and thus weather patterns and climate are controlled by the oceans. Indonesia as an archipelago owned 81.000 km coastal zone, which is second in length after Canada, therefore coastal zones are important zone in Indonesia because a majority of the population inhabit such zones.
Increase in the earth’s temperature due to an accumulation of carbon-based greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, methane and hydro fluorocarbon, is promoting climate change. Change in the global temperature is also apparent in the oceans, causing changes to weather cycles and climate. For Indonesia, predicted increases in sea levels by the end of this century could potentially submerge some coastline up to 50 meters inland. It is estimated that more than 405,000 hectares of Indonesian land will be submerged, thousands of small islands will disappear from the map of Indonesia, hundreds of thousands of hectares of fishponds and paddy fields in tidal areas will be lost, and coastal abrasion and seawater intrusion will threaten even the terrestrial population (Cornejo, Pilar, 2007).
The fisherman settlements at Pasuruan spread from Tambaan to Mandanrejo with 502.378 ha of fishponds (Pasuruan in Figures, 2005). The settlement also affected by the climate change, which affect the fisherman incomes. The study indicate that the rise of sea level becoming very often, which hit the fisherman settlements and the people everyday life activities.
The study was conducted by collecting data about the floods and survey in the inundated areas. The aim of the study was purposed to grasp the current physical and environmental of the affected area.
Keywords: climate change, fisherman settlements, flood, sea level rise.
1. INTRODUCTION
It has been widely recognized that global sea level rise may generate immense impact on physical and biological system such as coastal morphology and natural ecosystem. It also induces both habited and inhabited areas. The environment in the coastal zone is predicted in fragile balance regarding natural processes and human activities.
The IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change), an association of leading climate, atmospheric and oceanographic scientists from around the world, has released a series of sea-level rise projections as a result of climate change. IPCC also stated that farmers, coastal inhabitants, traditional communities living in forest and dessert are most exposed to climate change (Fussel, Hans-Martin, 2005). The coastal zone is a major focus of human habitation and economic activity. Therefore, low income inhabitants such as the fisherman in Pasuruan, are also vulnerable to climate change due to limited adaptation (Laboratory for Housing and Human Settlements ITS, 2007).
Sea-level rise has a number of biophysical effects on coastal areas including relevant interacting climate and non climate factors. Data Book of Sea-level Rise 2000 (National Institute for Environment Study, 2000) indicated that physical impacts of sea-level rise on the coastal zones are listed as follow:
1. inundation and displacement of lowlands and wetlands
2. coastal erosion intensification of coastal storm flooding
3. increase in salinity of estuaries, salt-water intrusion into freshwater aquifers, and degradation of water quality.
4. change of tide in rivers and bays
5. change of sediment deposition patterns
All of these increase degradation of the environment. The natural-system effects of sea-level rise have a range of potential socio-economic impacts, including: increased loss of property and fisherman settlements, increased flood risk and potential loss of life, damage to coastal protection works and other infrastructure (Laboratory for Housing and Human Settlements ITS, 2007).
In Pasuruan, the socio-economic impacts of sea-level rise are anticipated to affect a large proportion of the Pasuruan population. There are a large number of local inhabitants will be affected directly by the impacts of sea-level rise due to direct property loss at present, future development along the coast and the implications of rising sea level and coastal storms on the wider community will be extensive.
2. FISHERMAN SETTLEMENTS AT PASURUAN AND THE IMPACT OF CLIMATE CHANGE
Pasuruan is a coastal urban area situated on the lowland part/coastal area of East Java province in Indonesia. Most of the area of Pasuruan Regency located on low land between 3 up to 6 m above sea level and the height is 25 up to 50 m above sea level. The type of all seashores is plain with its slope 0 – 2%. This low land areas of the coastal have the highest impact of the sea level rise in Pasuruan (Pasuruan in Figure 2005).
Pasuruan has two different types of flooding. These are referredlo to locally flood inudation and tidal flood. Tidal flood occurs due to high tidal waves overflowing coastal land. The effect of tidal floods increases every year. Flooding creates several problem that must be taken into account:
• Economic activities of fishermen decreased regarding loss on fisheries sector which plays important role for inhabitant in coastal Pasuruan (while flooding, people will stop catching, drying and selling which caused decrease supply to the market)
• School children has to stay at home due to closed schools for about 2-3 days
• Inundated fishermen housing when tidal flooding reach into the house and disturb the lives of the inhabitants. Oftenly the flood water reach about 100 centimeters in height.
• Areas surround the houses also inundated, creating unhealthy environment for the people. Because of the flooding, the fishermen are difficult to go out or came to the settlement. Toilet and bathing facilities also flooded and sewage system did not work properly (Laboratory for Housing and Human Settlements, 2007).
Hundreds of settlements and fish ponds flooded with sea-water intrusion spread from Panggungrejo sub-district in the coastal area to Mandaranrejo, Ngemplakrejo and Tambaan district in the downtown Pasuruan. The tidal flooding also evident in Kalirejo Village, Kraton district, Pasuruan Regency . Not only damaged several buildings, it also broke the construction of seawalls or bulkhead.
The potential of fisheries sector in the north coastal Pasuruan are undoubted. Most people inhabited the coast work as fishermen. Fishermen settlements are found in Tambakan sub-district (Gadingrejo district), Ngemplakrejo sub-district (Purworejo district) and Panggungrejo sub-district (Bungulkidul district). From those fisherman settlements, Ngemplakrejo sub-district is the most famous; not only because it has most number of fishermen but also regarding its nearness to the main fisheries landing port.
Almost all fishermen inhabitated in this area sell their products in the fish market nearby including fishermen from Panggungrejo, Tambakan and even from other area outside Pasuruan. The inhabitants in Ngemplakrejo sub-district depend their income on fisheries sector. Their source are not only from the sea but also from dykes and fishponds. Even, the total area of fisheries is the second large after the settlements. It reach about 13,321 ha from the total area of Ngemplakrejo sub-district whisch is 53,69 ha. The settlements cover about 36,03 ha and the rest are forrest and non-settlement buildings (Pasuruan in Figures, 2005).
3. ACTIVITIES FOR REDUCING THE CLIMATE CHANGE IMPACT
Several activities that have been done to reduce the flooding frequency in the Pasuruan are:
• Fisherman activities to reduce the impact of floods using basic infrastructure technology, for example: build embankment and steps constructed above the floods.
• Obtain other work opportunities; low income fisherman are less adapted to capital accessibility, production equipments and information. To fulfill their living expenses while they can not go seafaring during the flood, fishermen work at factories and farming labors in its neighborhood.
4. CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION
Sea-level rise due to climate change is of concern, as it has the potential to cause serious coastal damage. The flooding in the fishermen settlements caused by the sea-level rise disturb the inhabitants of the area. In the coastal area of Pasuruan, the suggested response to sea level rise is to protect the settlements and its environment. The response strategies are:
• Raising public awareness
There is a need in raising disaster awareness for coastal inhabitants, particularly in neighborhood level. The first thing to do is socialize the awareness to the public. For student, this phase should be added to their obligatory curriculum without neglecting its locality. Guidance and training in floods disaster evacuation should cover the entire fishermen settlements. The aim of the activities is so that inhabitants are aware what and how is the evacuation process when the flooding hit the settlements.
• Government should provide guidance and monitoring the environment conditions from time to time and also arrange the spatial system in the coastal area.
• Wetland preservation
The estuaries and rivers the Pasuruan coastal zone contain economically important wetlands and mangrove system. Efforts should be made to protect this areas by declaring them as protected wetlands.
• Coastal zone management plan
Land-use planning in Coastal Zone, such as the use of building setbacks or allocating low lying vulnerable lands to lower value used will help reduce the over all vulnerability to sea level rise. Other land use planning mechanisms, such as construction standards, reduce the risks of living in coastal areas.

IMPROVING MYSELF
There is a large gap between rich and poor people in Indonesia. The consequences of this gap are seen especially in the housing situation. Whereas the rich people have big houses and large estates, people with a low income (generally below $ 100 per month) live as squatters in slum areas or inappropriate situations such as riverbanks. With the knowledge and skills about Regional and Community Planning and Development, I could greatly improve my work for the laboratory. Besides improving my self, this knowledge will be passed on to my colleagues through the project-team structure. In the end, I hope to contribute to the improvement of the housing situation of low income people in Indonesia.
PERSONAL STATEMENT
My name is Andarita Rolalisasi. I am female, thirty six years old, and married.
I growth in a little village named Kasembon about 3 hours from Surabaya, where there are limited education. Therefore after finished Junior High School I got my Senior High School in Batu which is 45 km from my home village. I went to school by bus about one quarter hour. I have to went on 5 am to reach at my school on 6.45 am and as I remember I never late. I back home on 6 pm while took more exercise after class. I would be back home when the way was blocked by land slide after the rain. Due to the way is the only one access, I had to walk over them to catch a bus from the other different direction.
I was studied Architecture during 1990 - 1997 in Department of Architecture, Institute of Technology Sepuluh Nopember Surabaya. In the earlier, I have been marry and got pregnant. I need more willingness and effort to finish my study because of it. I beard at 2 weeks before the end of the first semester but I still could pass the examination. Unfortunately at the end of my study time, my daughter passed away because of sick. I was very sad, but I had to finish my study because I have deep motivation to finish.
I realized that the most influence person in my life is my father. He just graduated from Elementary School, but to increase the income generation as civil servant, he had to pursue higher education. So he continued his study in Junior and Senior High School at evening. In the same time, I went to Junior and Senior High School too. The memories of that keep in my motivation and willingness to continue higher education to increase my knowledge and my capability.
After finished my study in Department of Architecture in 1997, I worked for a General Contractor Company for about five and a half years as Architect. My job description was design several projects, such as fifth floors commercial buildings, interior design of war ship navy of Indonesian Republic, and some private houses projects.
During April 15 until November 18, 2006, I am attending International Advance Training Shelter Design and Development in Lund University, Sweden. The general development objective of the program is to provide professionals working in this field a deeper knowledge and wider frame of reference to enable them to create long term conditions to combat poverty through effective capacity institutional development.
2003 until now, I am a researcher of Laboratory for Housing and Human Settlement, Sepuluh Nopember Institute of Technology Surabaya. I have assisted in several projects:
2003 - 2004, I have assisted the Laboratory and the City in several community mobilizations and empowerment processes in slum areas of the city, and also facilitated the city of Surabaya's Social Rehabilitation Project. These projects are aimed at improving the income generation capacities of poor households so that they can become economically self-sufficient. A core strategy of these projects is to use micro-credit to stimulate small and medium business in poor neighbourhoods of the city.
2004, Part of technical research team to analyze East java's Agro-Business potential and strengthen its regional whole sale market. The research suggested price control to reduce speculation and make stocks last longer, and to increase farmers' welfare by ways to reduce price fluctuations due to seasonal variations.
2004, Member of a team that conducted a pre-Feasibility Study for developing a Regional Wholesale Market in Surabaya. Because of its convenient accessibility, there exists great market potential to develop Surabaya as the leading centre of East Indonesia's whole sale trade. The study needed to provide adequate evidence to support Surabaya's claim to be able to become East Indonesia's trading.
2005, I was a part of a Study Team that prepared the Development Plan for the Surabaya-Madura Bridge (Suramadu) Area. The plan aims to develop a mixed-use region complete with business centres, recreation areas, and housing redevelopment so that new business investment can be attracted for the economic growth of the Suramadu Area. The plan attempts to integrate the concept of developing the Suramadu Area as a waterfront city with the existing concept that guides Surabaya's development as maritime city.
2006, Now I am part of team that conducted Pra Design Rumah Toko dan Perumahan YKP PenjaringanSari, Surabaya, East Java. The plan aims to develop a mixed use business area and housing.
I am part of team to map the impact of hot mud floods to the settlements surrounding caused by an oil and gas exploration well in Sidoarjo, East Java.
Also, I am a member of team that to formulate a model to improve inadequate housing in Surabaya and the surrounding. The study needed to improve the quality of the slum area.

Evaluation of Surabaya Slum-Upgrading Program (thesis proposal of Planning and Design Master)
Background:
Slum upgrading in Surabaya was started in 1924 with the focus mainly in sanitation. Since 1968 that was called WR Supratman and KIP (Kampung Improvement Program) in 1976 to improve urban settlement infrastructures. Regarding of the experience Surabaya developed new KIP called Comprehensive-KIP (C-KIP), which has been implemented since 1998 (Johan Silas, 1988). Also a slum upgrading program for the lowest income urban settlements called Social Rehabilitation of Slum Area (Rehabilitasi Sosial Daerah Kumuh-RSDK) has been active since 2003. Base on experience in above, can be concluded that the slum upgrading will not be successful without support from the community and their participation to improve them.
Surabaya Municipality has Master plan of Eradicate Poverty 2002 – 2005 that the focus of slum upgrading are the poverty by economic crisis issue, improvement of poor household small industry, a access and to provide a public facility for poor household, a women empowerment, revitalization of local development board, handling of informal sector, also coordination and effectiveness of eradicate poverty program implementation (Surabaya Planning Board, 2001).
Until 2004, the C-KIP has been implemented in 45 kampungs (www.surabaya.go.id, August 3, 2006 ).
Location of field works:
Provision needs to travel to Indonesia (East Java), to facilitate overall fieldwork project there and help maintain the integrity of the study. The location are two kampungs of Surabaya have been implemented C-KIP 2002 – 2003.
The research question:
How does the C-KIP influence the community to get better living condition?
The research objectives:
• To analyze the improving quality of housing and settlement environment
• To analyze the community empowerment to growth initiative, creativity, and independency on implementation of development program
• To analyze developing chance of business to create the chance of work for kampong community as source of income that could support local economic
Methodology:
• Field survey (interview, questioner, picture) with the stakeholder such as kampung community, Surabaya municipality, and the technical assistant of program.
Outcomes:
• To look for obtained benefit directly and also indirectly in the program of C-KIP which have been implemented
Time: 2 years
• 6 month English preparation
• 6 month matriculation
• 6 month field research
• 6 month write thesis
Evaluation of slum upgrading that have been implemented in Surabaya is necessary to get the right rule models for eradicate poverty in Surabaya. Because I live in Surabaya, so I need the study for my future as architect that helps to increase my knowledge about the urban planning.
Next, I want to be an urban planner that the most of city in Indonesia need for help to anticipated of city development. My knowledge as an urban planner especially in slum upgrading program will help municipality or province government to decrease slum area because of have no good urban plan. So hope can decrease poverty that the indicator is the significant decrease of slum area. The one of way for increase my knowledge in an urban planning is attended in Endeavour Postgraduate Award by Australia Government.
Slum upgrading in Surabaya was started in 1924 with the focus mainly in sanitation. Since 1968 that was called WR Supratman and KIP (Kampung Improvement Program) in 1976 to improve urban settlement infrastructures. Regarding of the experience Surabaya developed new KIP called Comprehensive-KIP (C-KIP), which has been implemented since 1998 (Johan Silas, 1988).

Evaluation of slum upgrading that have been implemented in Surabaya is necessary to get the right rule models for eradicate poverty in Surabaya. Because I live in Surabaya, so I need the study for my future as architect that helps to increase my knowledge about the urban planning.
Next, I want to be an urban planner that the most of city in Indonesia need for help to anticipated of city development. My knowledge as an urban planner especially in slum upgrading program will help municipality or province government to decrease slum area because of have no good urban plan. So hope can decrease poverty that the indicator is the significant decrease of slum area. The one of way for increase my knowledge in an urban planning is attended in Endeavour Postgraduate Award by Australia Government.
