They have wide ecological plasticity to adapt to various environments. Due to disturbance of habitat and intensive contact with human, long-tailed macaques change their feeding behavior. Here we present food preferences of long-tailed macaques that live in Cikakak Monkey Park in Central Java. By recording the number of individuals who fed on a food patch and the duration of eating the food, we found that proportion of their food from natural resources is greater than those from human sources. They shifted to omnivory feeding mode to adapt to the changing environment. At many times, this omnivorous feeding brought forth crop-raiding which were not in natural behavioral repertory. Conservation effort of long-tailed macaques, and primate in general, should consider the aspect of human-modulated behavior in feeding ecology if we wish to be successful.

  • Pdf: Conference NU 27 Maart 2017
    1 Foreword On behalf of the board of the special branch of Nahdlatul Ulama for the Netherlands (PCI-NU Belanda), I am delighted to welcome all of you to our 1st Biennial International Conference on “Rethinking Indonesia’s ‘Islam Nusantara’: From Local Relevance to Global Significance”. To the best of my knowledge, it is the first ever conference on its topic that takes place outside Indonesia and involves speakers and participants from many different countries. Thus, I expect, that the conference will become a productive forum for academic discussions and debates on issues related to the concept of ‘Islam Nusantara’. One of the milestones of (the establishment of) PCI-NU (in) Belanda is to introduce the idea of Islam Nusantara to a broader public in Europe. There has been widespread assumption that oversimplify the idea of “Islam Nusantara” as a form of exceptionalism that belongs to one particular group of Muslims living in one particularly territorial boundary. We want to challenge such assumption. We understand that such an idea as Islam Nusantara is very complex and is subject of contestation. Thus, our stance is to view “Islam Nusantara” as a conceptual category that is constructed, instead of given. As we have stated elsewhere, “it has to be seen as a text that is open to challenges coming from a variety of models of Islam that are lived, practised and developed in the archipelagic regions (not only Indonesia, but also Malaysia, Singapore, South Thailand, Kampuchea, and the south Philippines), in which all of these models view each other for politically dialectic opportunities and influences”.

  • Sejarah Masjid Saka Tunggal Cikakak
    BAB 1 PENDAHULUAN A. Latar Belakang Islam masuk ke Indonesia menurut Prof. Hamka pada abad 7 sampai abad 8 Masehi. Bukti bahwa Islam telah menyebarkan ajarannya pada abad 7 sampai abad 8 Hijriyah langsung dari Arab, terbuktinya jalur pelayaran yang ramai dan bersifat internasional sudah dimulai jauh sebelum abad ke-13 melalui Selat Malaka yang menghubungkan Dinasti Tang di Cina (Asia Timur), Sriwijaya di Asia Tenggara dan Bani Umayyah di Asia Barat, sedangkan menurut (Snouck Hurgronje) berpendapat bahwa Islam masuk ke Indonesia pada abad-13 Masehi. Dalam 2 (dua) pendapat tersebut, disimpulkan (Taufik Abdullah) bahwa Islam telah datang ke Indonesia pada abad 7 sampai abad 8 Masehi. Pada abad ke-13 Masehi Islam masuk secara besar-besaran dengan kekuatan politiknya, dibuktikan dengan berdirinya Kerajaan Samudra Pasai di Aceh. Bukti penyebaran Islam masuk ke Indonesia yaitu: 1. Makam Fatimah Binti Maimun tahun 475 Hijriyah (1082 Masehi) di Leran dengan penulisan tulisan Arab di batu nisannya. 2. Adanya makam Malik Al Saleh Raja Samudra Pasai di Aceh yang meninggal pada bulan Ramadhan tahun 676 Hijriah (1297 Masehi). 3. Ditemukannya batu nisan dengan tulisan-tulisan Arab yang bertarikh 822 Hijriah (1419 Masehi) ditemukan di Gresik Jawa Timur. Batu nisan ini 1 Sejarah Masjid Saka Tunggal..., Savitri Meiniadi, FKIP UMP, 2016 merupakan tanda makam Syekh Maulana Malik Ibrahim, yaitu saudagar Islam yang mengadakan kegiatan (Sunanto, 2007: 8-9) Perkembangan agama Islam di Indonesia khususnya di Pulau Jawa tidak lepas dari kiprah Wali Songo antara abad ke-15 dan ke-16 Masehi, tetapi, keberadaan Masjid Saka Tunggal di desa Cikakak, Kecamatan Wangon, Kabupaten Banyumas, Provinsi Jawa Tengah menunjukkan bahwa Islam sebenarnya berkembang jauh sebelum periode Sembilan wali tersebut.

Most of these events caused damage over a broad region, and are asso- ciated with years of temporal and spatial clustering of earthquakes. The earthquakes left many cit- ies in ‘rubble heaps’. Some events spawned tsunamis with run-up heights .15 m that swept many coastal villages away. 2004 marked the recurrence of some of these events in western Indonesia. However, there has not been a major shallow earthquake (M ≥ 8) in Java and eastern Indonesia for the past 160 years.

Hence, it is colored by the act of the society and the product of the culture. In this sense, human beings as the main actor of that existing culture. One of the visible products of the culture is its art (architecture) as the proof that best describes the situation of the culture. The architecture also influences the ups and downs of a civilization, and it is more meaningful creating the combination between human culture and the human’s obedience to the God which shows harmonious relationship among human, environment, and the creator. It, then, will emerge as an Islamic new civilization, and will bring the goodness for human beings. This paper describes a mosque as not only the symbol of syi’ar Islam for praying and i’tikaf, but something that has wider role. It is the creation of Islamic cultural value. It means that the mosque was born from the knowledge that is inspired from spiritual values, therefore, it reminds and guides human to come back to the God.

Microplastic, in the aquatic system, is becoming a critical issue all over the world. Studies on microplastic distribution in waters are essential due to the threat potential for both aquatic organisms and human health. The abundance of microplastic is highly related to the increase in human activities along with inadequate waste management systems. This study aims to assess both the distribution and abundance of microplastics in the water stream of Cimandiri Watershed, ending in the estuary areas. It was conducted from August to December 2018. The water samples were collected from seven sampling sites along the Cimandiri Watershed (water bodies) and analyzed using a monocular microscope in the laboratory. Microplastic particles that were found were counted and classified according to type, color, and size. The results revealed that the average abundance of microplastics was 685-7444 particles m-3, and Palabuhanratu Station had the highest abundance with an average abundance of 1489 particles m-3.

  • Toward a Tourism Destination Brand Equity of Coastal Tourism of Pangandaran Regency
    Jurnal Perspektif Pembiayaan dan Pembangunan Daerah Vol. 7 No. 2, September - October 2019 ISSN: 2338-4603 (print); 2355-8520 (online) Toward a tourism destination brand equity of coastal tourism of Pangandaran Regency Ibrahim Rashid School of Business and Management, Institut Teknologi Bandung, Indonesia Correspondence author email: [email protected] Abstract Indonesia is one of the countries where tourism is the major contributors to the GDP. There are province and districts in Indonesia that mainly focused on the tourism business, Pangandaran is one of them. As a new district, Pangandaran is still trying to develop its brand as a tourist destination. This study aims to provide perceptual maps of Pangandaran as a brand compared to other coastal tourism destination. The study used Multidimensional Scaling (MDS), to inquire about the brand image of various coastal destination in Indonesia among domestic tourist. Two dimensions consisted of performance and value are used to measure the destination brand. More profound questions are also asked to inquire about factors that may influence tourist visitation. The result indicates that the Pangandaran brand as a tourism destination is perceived as a domestic oriented destination. A suggestion based on five steps of brand building is proposed to improve Pangandaran.
