Contaminated water and lack of hygiene practices, such as washing hands and using toilets, expose people in developing countries to the risk of waterborne diseases. In addition, natural disasters, such as floods and droughts, have become increasingly serious threats in recent years. Solving such water-related issues is essential for allowing people to escape the pov- erty trap and for enhancing human security. In order to develop a system to effectively manage water resources and to ensure access to stable, equitable and safe water for people, using the capacity development (CD) approach is an important strategy. With the CD approach, JICA has been cooperating with partner countries and their communi- ties to strengthen the capacity of individuals, organiza- tions, institutions and societies. ■Institutional and social level JICA places importance on the sharing of experience ■Organizational level and information gained in the field.

With its dynamic characteristics, a river must be periodically examined to determine its water quality. This study aims to investigate the carrying capacity of the Brantas river in East Java, Indonesia. The observation was done by measuring TSS (Total suspended solid), TDS (Total dissolved solid), and oil and grease in the upstream zone of the Brantas river. This research used a descriptive method. The determination of the research stations was based on the condition of the watershed and its surroundings, assuming that there was a decrease in water quality. The sampling points include Pendem Bridge (1), DAM (local water company) Sengkaling (2), Simpang Remujung Bridge (3), and Samaan District (4). The results demonstrated that the upstream Brantas river at each sampling point had different pollution levels. Generally, the sampling point 1 (Pendem Bridge) was the cleanest zone compared to other sampling points. On the other hand, sampling point 4 (Samaan District) was the most polluted site of the upstream zone.

The data were collected through observation, documentation, and interview. This was elaborated by typological, technological, and contextual analyses. The findings are (1) existence of Troloyo grave site as the tombs of Majapahit king’s families shows people’s religion conversion to Islam. The court places the Troloyo into the centre of Islamic community settlement and the centre of Islamic development; (2) the grave site of Troloyo basically is not properly arranged but is distributed into some areas of the bounded fence wall, the covered “cungkup” or the opened grave; (3) the decorated kind and the form of Troloyo Islamic grave depicts a cultural continuity of pre-Islamic period. Keywords: cultural continuity, Islamic grave site, Majapahit 1. Introduction In the context of History of Indonesia periodization, the fifteen and sixteen century is signed by the significant development of the Islamic culture. This period is called by the process of Islamization (Damais, 1995:178).

  • 2E Brantas River Basin Development Pianning
    CHAPTER 2 2e Brantas River Basin Development PIanning (1) Hydroelectric power development planning (a) Power situation as of 1961 (year of the first master plan) In 1961 East Java generated a combined power output of 53,250 kW; 31,650 kW out of three hydroelectric power stations and 21,600 kW from four thermal power stations (see Table 2-2). It is estimated that the actual total output was in the range of approximately 35,OOO-40,OOO kW, due to repair or maintenance inspection reasons. All the hydroelectric power stations were located in the Brantas Basin, of which Sengguruh Power Station (2,650 kW) has been taken out of service due to the establishment of the Karangkates Dam. As a result, existing power stations had a total installed capacity of 50,600 kW, excluding the Karangkates Power Station. The annual power consumption in the province, hydroelectric and thermal, increased by about nine times from 22,550,OOO to 202,380,OOO kWh between l928 and 1960 (see Table 2-3). The electrification rate of the Basin soared 709o during these 23 years from 159o in 1970 to 859o in 1993. Just for reference, electrification of Java Island was 769o as of 1993.

  • Analysis of River Basin Organization Lessons from UK and USA (Case Study: Indonesia)
    Institutional Arrangement of Integrated River Basin Management: Analysis of River Basin Organization Lessons from UK and USA (Case Study: Indonesia) THESIS A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Master Degree from University of Groningen and the Master Degree from Institute of Technology Bandung by: FITYAN AONILLAH RUG : S 1623273 ITB : 25405027 DOUBLE MASTER DEGREE PROGRAMME ENVIRONMENTAL AND INFRASTRUCTURE PLANNING FACULTY OF SPATIAL SCIENCES UNIVERSITY OF GRONINGEN AND DEVELOPMENT PLANNING AND INFRASTRUCTURE MANAGEMENT SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE, PLANNING, AND POLICY DEVELOPMENT INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY BANDUNG 2007 i Abstract Existing institutional arrangement of river basin management in Indonesia leads to some problem concerning authority, boundaries, coordination, and integration. Some studies reveal that the problem is also faced by other developing countries in Asian and Latin America. Now Indonesia is trying to reform water sector by issuing new Water Resources Act. In basin level, it will emphasize on institutional and financial framework. This process is pushed by the declining of water resources and government reorganization through decentralization in 2000. There is a plan to reorganize existing institution responsible to river basin management (river basin organization) in order to enhance its environmental and financial performance. This research makes comparative analysis of river basin organization among United Kingdom (UK), United States of America (USA), and Indonesia. It also considers the opportunity to take a lesson from UK and USA experience for Indonesia. UK and USA has long history in dealing with water sector problem including water management at basin level. Many book and studies often use UK and USA as object to be analyzed.
