MY BELOVED DAUGHTER

TIKA ARINING WARDHANI. Terlepas dia adalah anakku sendiri, tapi dia adalah sahabat yang paling mengerti diriku. Semua hal yang ada pada diriku adalah dia.

Aku yang begitu cenderung maskulin, tapi aku punya anak yang feminin. Walaupun karena keadaan. Dia tidak bisa pake celana karena perutnya gendut. Jadi kalau pake celana tidak bebas bergerak. Pakai baju ketat tidak nyaman, jadi bajunya model daster tapi yang manis. Urusan rambut, pernah suatu saat aku potong pendek rambutnya karena dia tidak mau merapikan rambutnya. Trus setelah melihat hasilnya, dia bilang jangan potong lagi karena seperti laki-laki. Jadi rambut kriwulnya tidak pernah pendek lagi.

Saat anakku usia 4 tahun dia sudah mau lulus TK. Jadi waktunya untuk mencari SD. Dia maunya sekolah Islam di Pucang. Waktu aku tanya alasannya jawabannya sangat sederhana.
Teman TK nya yang paling terkenal, ganteng, dan pinter, akan sekolah disitu. Eki nanti jadi pacarku lho ma. Ha .... kaget tenan aku. Memangnya sekarang sudah pacaran, tanyaku. Belum ma. Nanti kalau sudah besar, kata Tika. Tapi jangan bilang papa ya, nanti aku dimarahi, tambahnya. Wow... aku takjub dengan perbendaharaan katanya dan daya nalarnya. 4 tahun gitu lho.

Saat itu aku masih studi S1. Dia mempunyai jadwal rutin yang sangat teratur. Kapan sekolah, kapan main, kapan tidur, kapan ngaji, kapan les dan lain-lain sudah ada jadwalnya dan dipenuhi. Tidak ada masalah bagi diriku untuk selesaiin kuliah. Tetapi memang tidak bisa cepat. Gimana mau cepat, mau ambil sks normal (18 sks) aja akhir semester sebelum ujian aku sudah terbaring di rumah sakit. Berat banget tugas kuliah di Arsitektur itu. Sisi pengertian anakku diantaranya yaitu tidak pernah menggangguku saat banyak berkas tugas berserakan di tempat belajarku. Teman-temannya yang akan main di rumah pasti diajak ke tempat yang kosong. Jangan ganggu mamaku. Biar cepet lulus biar nanti aku sering diajak main. how.. so sweet...

Tetapi takdir berkata lain. Beliau datang dan pergi di saat aku masih di S1. Dia datang waktu akhir semester 1. Saat itu dosen killer banget dan aku tidak berani bolos. Akhirnya minta ijin untuk pulang dulu. Jam 12 pulang, jam 3 sore melahirkan di RS Dr Soetomo.
Beliau pergi ketika aku kuliah kurang 2 semester saat aku mengambil mata kuliah seminar. Tugas mingguan yang harusnya dikumpulkan hari Jumat minggu depan, sudah bisa aku selesaikan hari Jumat minggu ini. Langsung kutitipkan ke temanku untuk dikumpulkan. Ternyata setelah pulang aku mendapati panas badan anakku makin tinggi. Hari Senin masa puncak sakitnya, dan Selasa jam 6 pagi 2 April 1996 beliau pergi untuk selama-lamanya.

Separo hidupku terhempas keras di tanah. Membuatku pingsan selama 9 tahun. I love you so much my beloved daughter. You are still living in my heart

Tak Ada Yang Abadi
oleh Peterpan

Takkan selamanya tanganku mendekapmu
Takkan selamanya raga ini menjagamu

Seperti alunan detak jantungku
Tak bertahan melawan waktu
Semua keindahan yang memudar
Atau cinta yang telah memudar

Reff:
Tak ada yang abadi
Tak ada yang abadi
Tak ada yang abadi
Tak ada yang abadi

Biarkan aku bernafas sejenak
Sebelum hilang

Tak kan selamanya tanganku mendekapmu
Tak kan selamanya raga ini menjagamu
Jiwa yang lama segera pergi
Bersiaplah para pengganti

BULE

Di Indonesia, bule dikonotasikan sebagai pendatang berkulit putih. Semua bule juga dianggap sebagai berasal dari Belanda. Jadi mereka disebut Landa.
Sejarah itulah yang kuceritakan kepada temanku asli belanda. Dia dipanggil bule, sudowo (soale tingginya gak ketulungan). Kalau lagi jalan sama dia dan ada yang panggil dia bule, dia cuma senyum-senyum saja.
Setelah jadi internship selama 6 bulan pada 2 tahun lalu, sekarang dia kerja di Holand Red Cross yang bekerjasama dengan Indonesia Red Cross. Hampir sebulan lalu ketemu lagi di lab setelah aku ujian GIS. Walah-walah... dia malah bisa omong jawa. Gilaaa... aku aja belum bisa bahasa Belanda sebagai bahasa nenek moyang, bahasa English durung katam, ehhhhh.... dia sudah occupation dalam bahasa jawa. wah repot... dasar penjajah ... upppsss aku khan cucune penjajah juga.
Waktu kita ke Bandung, dia ngerti banget tentang kebiasaan pribumi. Jadi kalau kita sedang menawar taksi, dia tidak menampakkan diri dulu. Soalnya nanti jadi mahal. dasar BAndung. Susah cari mass transportation.

ISENG

Di tengah banyak hal yang harus diselesaikan dalam waktu dekat ini, aku kangen untuk nyambangin blog ku. Aku ingin menulis sesuatu yang sangat ringan-ringan saja. Setelah sekian lama meulis dengan serius tata bahasanya. Harus mengikuti tata bahasa yang baku. Ada subyek, predikat, obyek, dan keterangan.

Nulis apa ya....
Hal teriseng yang pernah aku lakuin

pertama,
Aku dan adikku yang paling kecil, pernah melakukan hal terbodoh dalam hidup.
Naikkin air ke tandon atas.... gila banget. Gara-gara lampu mati. Air tandon atas habis. Terus mau mandi pake shower. Jadi deh usungin air pake timba ke tandon atas. Padahal kan iso nampung air aja di bak kamar mandi. Setelah itu lampu nyala... ha ha ha

kedua... kapan2 aja ... lagi ditunggu ama Ageng nih....

the 1st presentasi

setelah bersih-bersih file di komputer, aku menemukan persiapanku untuk pertama kali presentasi. bagaimana ndredegnya ketika itu akan datang. setelah baca kembali ini, ingatan kembali melayang ke masa itu....

Good morning every body. May I introduce myself first. My name is Andarita Rolalisasi, reseacher and I am Indonesian. I’m going to talk about Community based development related women’s role and alleviating poverty, specially in Surabaya, Indonesia. Why I choose this topic? Because main aims this program is peran aktif community, so hope the alleviating poverty program can correct target (tepat sasaran).

I’m going to devide in three part, first about Indonesia in general, second about Surabaya, and the last about shelter condition in Surabaya.

First about Indonesia in General. Indonesia is a nice country that is the fourth most populous country in the worl after China, India, and US. It area more less than two million square kilometres which is equal to four times the area of Sweden. Sweden is land area but Indonesia is archipelago, consist of nearly eighteen thousand islands of which about thre thousand inhabited. The area from Sabang in north Sumatera to Merauke in Irian Jaya. The biggest islands are Java, Sumatera, Kalimantan, Sulawesi, and Irian Jaya. Population prediction in 2006 of two hunderd and twenthy one point nine million people live in Indonesia, and sixteen percen or more than one hundred thirdthy three million people live in Java island. Java island is seven percen of all Indonesia area.

The climate is tropical with heavy rainfall throught the year.

Second, Surabaya is the capital city of East java Province, at The East and the east area of Surabaya is the hourbour area. The west border with Kabupaten Gresik and the south border is kabupaten Sidoarjo. It is the second biggest city in Indonesia after Jakarta, with a population of about two point six millions people in two thousand and four and a density af arround eigth thousand people per square kilometres. The highest density in city centre like in sub district Tegalsari, Genteng, Bubutan Simokerto, Gubeng, Tambaksari, Wonokromo, or around main street from haourbour to airport in Juanda. The west and east area of Surabaya is more rarely density, so the direction of housing development there are.

Surabaya serve by Juanda international airport, Tanjung Perak hourbour, two big bus terminal, two big train station, and many transportation shelter.

jangan belenggu aku dengan cintamu

pergilah jauh..
KEMALASAN

karna dirimu ...
aku gak bisa merevisi proposalku

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.
