by Aswandi; (Thesis M.Sc Unesco-IHE, Delft, Netherland, 2016) supervised Robiyanto H. Susanto, Edward Saleh, and Iskhaq Iskandar The development of drainage system over peat land areas causes the reduction of groundwater table. This condition increases oxidation process leading to peat decomposition, which in turn impacts on abundant release of C02. This environmental impact is an important part of global warming mitigation. Peat oxidation is also responsible for rapid land subsidence in the drained areas and thus decreases land productivity. Accurate simulation of the drainage and its impacts is one of urgent needs to provide optimal way of land management. Therefore, [...]

Tanjung Carat, an area in Banyuasin estuary that is geographically strategic for port development in South Sumatra province, Indonesia. The area provides naturally deep draft, ease navigation, and a sheltered location from any incoming winds and waves. An old study about this area as an alternative solution for future port development has been proposed since 1975. Amongst those benefits, the estuary conditions are still gradually changing by active processes in [...]

The National Park is developed based on particular considerations such as protecting ecosystem or preserving certain species. Management of national park will not succeed unless the communities surrounding park support the park itself. However, it will be difficult because the park was established through a ‘top-down’ process. Therefore, it is important to ensure [...]
