Kebertahanan Bangunan dengan Adaptif terhadap Lingkungan

Title: The Resilience of Buildings with Adaptability to the Environment (Case Study: Tomb of Syekh Mudzakir in Bedono, Sayung, Demak) Coastal areas have the potential to be affected by abrasion and tidal floods. Syekh Mudzakir's grave is in Tambaksari Subvillage, Bedono Village, Sayung Subdistrict, Demak District, and in the coastal area of the North Coast (Pantura) of Java Island. However, the existence of the tomb and its buildings to this day still survives amidst the marine environment that surrounds it. This tomb has become a religious tourism destination in Demak Regency, with the number of tourists increasing. This research aims to determine and explore the resilience of tomb buildings that are adaptive to abrasion and tidal flood environments. This research is field research. Research data uses primary data and secondary data through the results of observations, interviews, and documentation. The research analysis uses qualitative descriptive analysis. This research shows that Syekh Mudzakir's tomb does not float in the middle of the sea. However, the tomb survives adaptively to the environment by adapting the area, building development, building structural systems, and expanding the site to be robust against abrasion and tidal floods. This research concludes that the family and community survive the grave by adapting to the environment and mitigating disasters that befall the grave area.

Background: Failure to grow in children or what is often called stunting is one of the focuses of global problems, including Indonesia. Globally, stunting is one of the goals Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Stunting is a problem of chronic malnutrition caused by inadequate nutritional intake over a long period of time due to providing food that does not meet nutritional needs. Stunting can occur when the fetus is still in the womb and only appears when the child is two years old. Based on the results of the Indonesian Nutrition Status Survey (SSGI), the stunting prevalence rate in Indonesia fell from 24.4% in 2021 to 21.6% in 2022. This figure is still above the threshold set by the World Health Organization (WHO), namely 20%. The stunting prevalence rate in Demak Regency was ranked seventh highest in Central Java in 2019 at 50.23% and is one of 60 stunting districts. In 2019 in Demak Regency there were 4.25% or 6,129 toddlers out of a total of 97,212 toddlers who had the potential to experience stunting. This situation is a priority for the Demak Regency government to handle by determining 10 locations that will be prioritized in 2020 and 2021Purpose: To produce monitoring and promotion system application for pregnant and postpartum mothers as well as breastfeeding mothers including toddlers can detect early health problems for mothers and toddlers and is named the child stunting preventive application (ASTA).Method: This research uses research and development methods orResearch and Development (R&D).

The influencing variable in this study is ASTA and the influenced variable is health maintenance behavior during pregnancy, postpartum and toddlers. This research is divided into four stages, namely design, analysis, engineering and evaluation.Results: Based on the statistical test output, it is known that Asymp. Sig. (2-tailed) is worth 0.025. From this value it can be concluded that H0 rejected. This means that there are differences in the level of potential stunting in the control group respondents in terms of the pre-post treatment results. Meanwhile, it is known that in the intervention group the value of Asymp. Sig. (2-tailed) namely 0.157. This value is >0.05, so it can be concluded that H0 accepted. This means that there is no difference in the level of potential stunting between pre-post treatments in the intervention group given the ASTA application.Conclusion: There is no significant effect of using the ASTA application on the criteria for potential stunting and there is no significant difference in potential stunting data between the control and intervention groups, either before or after treatment. However, the stunting prevalence ratio is 0.7 (<1) indicating that the ASTA application is a factor that can reduce the potential for stunting.

Retention Pond Planning for Flood Management Using Epa SWMM in Sayung Village Demak Regency

The area of Sayung Village, Sayung District, and Demak Regency is an area that is often hit by annual floods. According to the Sayung Village Government, floods in 2019 resulted in 5,884 residents of Sayung Village being displaced and 1,471 houses being flooded. The area of submerged rice fields is 300 hectares, with the number of farmers who failed to harvest reaching 436. Comprehensive handling is needed to deal with the flood. For flood management, a simulation of a flood management system was made with EPA SWMM (Environmental Protection Agency Storm Water Management Model) software. The selection of handling concepts is obtained through re-simulation of the capacity of drainage channels in order to accommodate planned discharge. To be able to perform simulations, hydrological data and measurements of existing channels are needed. Flood discharge obtained from the calculation results is Q2 of 110.1 m3 per second, Q5 of 134.9 m3 per second, and Q10 of 147.8 m3 per second. The handling concept obtained from this study is the creation of retention ponds in Dukuh Sayung Kidul and Dukuh Sayung Wetan.
