  • Environmental Changes in the Semarang-Grobogan Railroad Line Area As the Result of the Change in Transportation Policy
    Environmental Changes in the Semarang-Grobogan Railroad Line Area as the Result of the Change in Transportation Policy Endah Sri Hartatik1, Agust Supriyono2, Budi Puspo Priyadi3, Wasino4, Fitri Amalia Shintasiwi5 {[email protected], [email protected], [email protected]} 1,2,3Diponegoro University, Indonesia 4,5Universitas Negeri Semarang, Indonesia Abstract. Train is a kind of mass transportation in Indonesia which has expanded widely in the late 19th and early of 20th centuries. However, since the 1980s, this kind of transportation has not developed. Many railroad tracks were closed because train got a rival, namely road transportation. One of the non-functioning railroad line was the Semarang-Grobogan line. This paper examines environmental changes due to the closure of the railroad line. The method used was the historical method with document data sources and oral historical interview. The results showed that there had been an environmental change in the railroad. The train station which was originally a very clean city center became a densely populated and slum settlement center. In addition, selling stalls which have been established made the station not visible. This pattern occurred in all stations such as Godong, Purwodadi Kota, and Wirosari Stations. These environmental changes were not followed by environmental arrangements. Therefore, this made the land ownership status belonged to Indonesian Railway Company legally, but factually, it was occupied by the surrounding population. Based on these data, it was necessary to have a synergistic environmental management policy between the government of Grobogan Regency and Indonesian Railway Company.

Administratively, it covers Se- marang Regency, Salatiga City, and Boyolali Regency. Industry and community use groundwater to fulfil their daily need. Increasing number of deep wells that extract groundwater will cause some environmental problems, such as lowering groundwater level and subsidence at SGB. Thus, there is a need to assess the adverse impacts of groundwater abstraction. Risk assessment of groundwater vulnerability due to abstraction is the goal of this study. The research method was taking account of weighting of geological parameters, such as response characteristics of the aquifers, characteristics of aquifer storage, aquifer thickness, piezometric depth, and distance from the shoreline to conduct the groundwater vulnerability mapping. It was then overlaid on a map of regional spatial plan to develop the map of vulnerability risk due to abstraction. The groundwater vulnerability due to abstraction is categorized in the medium level. After being overlaid by the land use map, the risk of groundwater vulnerability due to abstraction is classified into three kinds, which are low, medium, and high.

The Ministry of Agriculture has developed a strategy to increase soybean production through an integrated crop management (ICM) program, which was implemented through a farmer field school (FFS) approach in 2008. This paper aims to evaluate the performance of FFS-ICM implementation in two of the main areas for soybean production—Grobogan Regency in Central Java Province and West Lombok Regency in West Nusa Tenggara Province. Primary data was collected through in-depth interviews of 120 farmers. The before and after performance of the FFS-ICM program was evaluated using paired sample t-tests. The study found that FFS-ICM has increased soybean productivity significantly both in Grobogan Regency (1,854 kg/ha) and West Lombok Regency (1,492 kg/ha). However, this was less than the optimal productivity, which can reach 2,490 kg/ha in Grobogan Regency

Budi Prasetyo1 Regional Planning Research and Development Agency of Central Java, Semarang, Indonesia Abstract: This paper intends to study the condition of poverty in Central Java, particulary in Kabupaten Grobogan and Wonosobo). The data was collected by focus group discussion (FGD) and indepth interview. The results show that Kab. Grobogan is more faced with infrastructure problems that affect access to basic facilities. The low level of education and sanitation of the people in Kab Wonosobo is influenced by cultural- influenced community behaviour.

Every year, the more number of populations in Central Java, the more soybean consumption. However, the supply of soybean is not fulfill the needs because the soybean productivity is still low. Low soybean productivity is affected by the unqualified seed.The research was conducted by quantitative descriptive approach for 3 months in Grobogan and Wonogiri Regency. The respondents are farmers, traders and airy companion. The research results showed that the soybeans cropping pattern in Grobogan and Wonogiri held in rainfed on the first and second rainy season from October to March. In the first and second drought season in June to September, soybean is planted in the paddy field. The soybean seed needs were 40 kg/ha in Grobogan and 70 kg/ha in Wonogiri. In a year, soybean seed needs were 2.76114 million pounds. The most crucial seed needs in May, September and October amounted to 1,706,139 kg. Soybean seed system was obtained by storage in the form of dry stover to process from consumption soybean product by sorting in Wonogiri, also to process the cultivated soybean production that using labeled seeds in Grobogan.Recommendation: Local agricultural agencies should be facilitated seed lebelled for supply of seeds that is coached by Bakorluh.
