The Sustainable Livelihood Framework is one model for understanding and improving the poverty livelihood conditions experienced by a household or community. Through this framework it can be helpful in describing the main factors affecting the living conditions of a poor family and the form of relationships among these factors. This concept can be used for planning development programs and assessing the extent to which effectiveness and contributions have been made in community empowerment programs. In addition to the five capitals mentioned above, poverty and vulnerability conditions are also influenced by trends or changes tendency that occurs in society such as ecological and social conditions, the occurrence of natural disasters, famine, and so forth. Furthermore, this framework also provides an overview of how the institutional and government policy aspects have also contributed greatly to the ups and downs of the livelihoods and vulnerability of households and communities. 1.2 OBJECTIVE The objectives of this baseline social study are as follows: • To know the social, economic, cultural and public health conditions along the 250MW GSPP Riau gas pipeline; • To know the community perception along the 250MW GSPP Riau gas pipeline about the planned installation of the 250 MW GSPP Riau gas pipe; and • Especially this study is also for digging about the interaction pattern between the people of the community around the locations of temporary jetty and water intake of 250MW GSPP Riau with the Siak River. 2 STUDY SCOPE 2.1 LOCATION The baseline social study covers two study areas, namely (1) gas pipeline area; and (2) temporary jetty and water intake area. The baseline social study location for gas pipeline areas cover five villages in three sub- districts within the Pekanbaru City and Siak District. This study location is an area that will be passed through by a 40km gas pipeline, which stretching from gas pipe tapping location in Kuala Gasib Village to the power plant location in Industri Tenayan Village. Below is the names of study location villages: 2-1 | P a g e Table 2-1 Study Location Administration Area in Gas Pipeline Area City/District Sub-district Village Pekanbaru City Tenayan Raya 1) Melebung Village Siak District Tualang 2) Meredan Village 3) Tualang Timur Village 4) Pinang Sebatang Village Koto Gasib 5) Kuala Gasib Villlage Source : Prime Data, 2018 While for the study area of temporary jetty and water intake locations, was conducted on the Sik Riverbank which there will be temporary jetty facilities being built for GSPP construction project mobilization needs and GSPP water intake facilities in the Industri Tenayan Village, Tenayan Raya Sub-district, Pekanbaru City.

Should there were gas pipeline passing through the plantation area where there were no houses exist, then the population in the nearest village is assumed to be the representative of impacted household. The sample total were 150 respondents, namely 30 respondents in each village and assumed to represent the condition of all the population in the study location. Specifically for the temporary jetty and water intake area, there was no sampling survey conducted on the population, and only qualitative study was done focusing on the interaction pattern between the community with the Siak River. 2.3 DATA NEEDS The data needs of this baseline social study are as follows : 1. The socio-economy data along the gas pipeline with the study objects as follows : • Residents; • Businesses such as grocery stores, kiosks, shops or restaurants; • Squatters or cultivators; • Agriculture activities (farming or plantation land); and • Other business activities 2. The community’s health data in five study llocation villages covers 10 major community diseases, health facilities, medical personels, environmental sanitationand health issues; 2-4 | P a g e 3. The education data in five study location covers the general condition of the education, education facilities, instructors, pupils numbers, and educational issues; 4. The borders of study location villages, and the history of community’s settlement development in study location; 5. The cultural data covers the study object as follows: • Community’s historical background and ethnicity which currently exist in study location. • Custom and important tradition that applied in the study location’s community.; • A cultural heritage site located within a two kilometer radius of the gas pipeline; 6. The socio-economy and cultural data in the temporary jetty and water intake area : The The study focus was the interaction pattern between local people with the Siak River, either in the water usage as the livelihood sources, transportation means or other social functions. 2.4 IMPLEMENTATION TIME The implementation of the study consists of three stages of activity, namely the survey and data collection stage, data processing and analysis stage, and report preparation data. Data collection activities were conducted at the study sites on 14 till 24 February 2018. Then continued with data processing and report preparation in Jakarta until April 2018. 2.5 STUDY LIMITATION In this social baseline study execution, there were several study limits that had implication toward the field data result as follows: • Not all villages in the study location has complete data in its monograph, especially related to the villagers numbers and composition based on ethnic gtoup or religion, age group and education level; • There were obstacles in getting the helath data in Tenayan Raya Sub-district, caused by the following factors: - There were a quite strict bureaucratic process in getting the health data in Public Health Centre, whereas it has through the permission process of Kesbangpol (Unity of nation and politic) and Health Agency of Pekanbaru City; - There were new administrative area as a result of area’s division such as Industri Tenayan Village which still do not have subsidiary public health centre; and - The public health official in the subsidiary public health centre in Melebung Village was hard to see. 2-5 | P a g e 3 METHODOLOGY 3.1 RESEARCH DESIGN This study uses the theory of the Sustainable Livelihood Framework developed by Chambers and Conway (1992). This framework theory of sustainable livelihood resources analyzes the social and economic conditions of family and society by using five livelihood capital sources, namely human capital, natural capital, social capital, physical capital, and financial capital. These five capital sources of livelihood are then downgraded into several measurable variables in the field. The above five capital livelihood resources owned will then be combined with several other external conditions, such as the vulnerability context caused by ecological and social conditions, existing institutional conditions in society, and government policies. The combination of capital livelihoods ownership and external conditions will influence the forms of livelihood strategies that will be developed and will ultimately determine the conditions of the welfare of a community.

  • The Impact of Forest and Peatland Exploitation Towards Decreasing Biodiversity of Fishes in Rangau River, Riau-Indonesia
    I J A B E R, Vol. 14, No. 14 (2016): 10343-10355 THE IMPACT OF FOREST AND PEATLAND EXPLOITATION TOWARDS DECREASING BIODIVERSITY OF FISHES IN RANGAU RIVER, RIAU-INDONESIA Yustina* Abstract: This survey study was periodically conducted in July, 6 times every year. There were 3 periods: 1st period (2002); 2nd period (2008) and 3rd period (2014). It sheds light on the impact of forest and peat land exploitation on decreasing biodiversity of fishes in Rangau River, Riau- Indonesia. Using some catching tools such as landing net, fishing trap, fishnet stocking and fishing rod. The sampling activity was administered at eight stations which were conducted by applying “catch per unit effort technique” in primary time: 19.30-07.30, for 3 repetitions for each fish net measurement within 30 minutes at every station, at position or continuously casting. The sampled fish were selected which were relatively in minor size but had represent their features and species. The fish were labelled and were preserved with 40% formalin. The determination and identification of fish were conducted at laboratory. Secondary data was collected by mean of interviewing the local fishermen about the surrounding environment condition of Rangau river. Data analysis consisted of biodiversity data, biodiversity index and fish existence frequency. The finding in 1st period, in 2002, total caught fish were 60 species: 36 genera and 17 families. In 2nd period in 2008, total caught fish were 38 species which consist of 30 genera and 16 families. In 3rd period, in 2014, there were 23 of fish species were found comprising 17 genera, 12 families.

Nothing much is known of its population size and distribution, except that it was confined in the area between Rokan and Siak rivers. We carried out an eight-day reconnaissance field trip and determined the presence of P. f. percura in seven locations in Riau Province, which extends south of the Siak River, beyond its previously reported range. We also obtained probably the first publicly available full-frontal coloured photos of the taxon in the wild, and photos of the Riau Pale-thighed Langur P. siamensis cana. Considering that the known populations of P. f. percura are restricted to small and isolated forest remnants, and that the remaining forests are rapidly being converted into oil palm plantations, we propose to change the listing of P.

Carbon losses through soil leaching have so far not been quantified and the underlying processes have hardly been studied. In this study, we use results derived from nine expeditions to six Sumatran rivers and a mixing model to determine leaching processes in tropical peat soils, which are heavily disturbed by drainage and deforestation. Here we show that a reduced evapotranspiration and the resulting increased freshwater discharge in addition to the supply of labile leaf litter produced by re-growing secondary forests increase leaching of carbon by ∼200%. Enhanced freshwater fluxes and leaching of labile leaf litter from secondary vegetation appear to contribute 38 and 62% to the total increase, respectively.

  • The Impact of Disturbed Peatlands on River Outgassing in Southeast Asia
    ARTICLE Received 1 Apr 2015 | Accepted 8 Nov 2015 | Published 16 Dec 2015 DOI: 10.1038/ncomms10155 OPEN The impact of disturbed peatlands on river outgassing in Southeast Asia Francisca Wit1, Denise Mu¨ller1,2, Antje Baum1, Thorsten Warneke2, Widodo Setiyo Pranowo3, Moritz Mu¨ller4 & Tim Rixen1,5 River outgassing has proven to be an integral part of the carbon cycle. In Southeast Asia, river outgassing quantities are uncertain due to lack of measured data. Here we investigate six rivers in Indonesia and Malaysia, during five expeditions. CO2 fluxes from Southeast Asian rivers amount to 66.9±15.7 TgC per year, of which Indonesia releases 53.9±12.4 TgC per year. Malaysian rivers emit 6.2±1.6 TgC per year. These moderate values show that Southeast Asia is not the river outgassing hotspot as would be expected from the carbon- enriched peat soils. This is due to the relatively short residence time of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) in the river, as the peatlands, being the primary source of DOC, are located near the coast. Limitation of bacterial production, due to low pH, oxygen depletion or the refractory nature of DOC, potentially also contributes to moderate CO2 fluxes as this decelerates decomposition. 1 Leibniz Center for Tropical Marine Ecology (ZMT), Fahrenheitstrasse 6, 28359 Bremen, Germany. 2 Institute for Environmental Physics, University of Bremen, Otto-Hahn-Allee 1, 28359 Bremen, Germany. 3 Research & Development Center for Marine & Coastal Resources (P3SDLP), Gedung II Balitbang KP Lantai 4, Jalan Pasir Putih II, Ancol Timur, Jakarta 14430, Indonesia. 4 Swinburne University of Technology, Sarawak Campus, Jalan Simpang Tiga, Kuching, Sarawak 93350, Malaysia.

  • Future Flood Management Strategies in Indonesia
    MATEC Web of Conferences 229, 01014 (2018) https://doi.org/10.1051/matecconf/201822901014 ICDM 2018 Future flood management strategies in Indonesia Ahmad Junaidi1, Nurhamidah Nurhamidah1,*, Darwizal Daoed1 1Civil Engineering Department, University of Andalas, Padang, Indonesia Abstract. Rapid developments in the catchments, such as deforestation and loss of swamp areas, and in the city, such us sealing off unpaved areas have resulted in higher runoff and deteriorated the river’s conveyance capacity. Critical flooding conditions occur in the city, particularly during heavy rainfall and high tidal flow. Inundation can be characterized as river, tidal, flash and urban flood. A number of flood defense measures have been implemented, designed for return periods of 15 to 50 years, and nonstructural measures within communities who live in flood-prone areas. However, strategies consisting of both structural and nonstructural measures should be developed, upgrade current flood defense practices in Indonesia to a higher safety level, complying with a return period of 50 to 100 years. An integrated and holistic approach is necessary to find solutions for flood management problems in Indonesia. Besides, a regional Water Resources Management plan should be developed, taking into account both flooding and water scarcity issues. The study at hand describes various flood management strategies, each compiled on the basis of different starting points, such as structural measures, non-structural measures, environmental considerations, etc. The implementation of strategies, or separate measures, should focus on priorities for areas most frequently affected. On the short term, efficiency and low-cost measures should be implemented, such as flood forecasting and early warming and flood proofing.
