Spatiotemporal relation of satellite-based meteorological to agricultural drought in the downstream Citarum watershed, Indonesia

Jatiluhur dam, located in West Java province, is one of the most extensive reservoirs in Indonesia and is used to secure the water supply for 240,000 ha of rice fields to prevent agricultural drought in the downstream Citarum watershed. During the last two decades, several areas in the downstream Citarum watershed have been experiencing agricultural drought following meteorological drought events. This study aimed to examine the spatiotemporal patterns of agricultural drought and their correlation with meteorological drought occurrence by utilizing a remote sensing image processing technique. The Normalized Difference Drought Index (NDDI) and Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) derived from MODIS and CHIRPS data were used to estimate agricultural and meteorological drought events, respectively. The results showed that the magnitude of agricultural drought in the downstream Citarum watershed was varied and related to earlier meteorological drought. The agricultural drought mainly occurred after a meteorological event with the magnitude mostly related to the magnitude of the ONI and DMI. A strong El Nino and positive IOD will cause a higher magnitude of agricultural drought. The time lag between the two drought occurrences was found to be related to the distance of the paddy fields from the main irrigation network and the proximity of the main irrigation network to the Jatiluhur Dam spillway.

Assessing the impact of booster vaccination on diphtheria transmission: Mathematical modeling and risk zone mapping

The COVID-19 pandemic caused significant disruptions in the healthcare system, affecting vaccinations and the management of diphtheria cases. As a consequence of these disruptions, numerous countries have experienced a resurgence or an increase in diphtheria cases. West Java province in Indonesia is identified as one of the high-risk areas for diphtheria, experiencing an upward trend in cases from 2021 to 2023. To analyze the situation, we developed an SIR model, which integrated DPT and booster vaccinations to determine the basic reproduction number, an essential parameter for infectious diseases. Through spatial analysis of geo-referenced data, we identified hotspots and explained diffusion in diphtheria case clusters. The calculation of R0 resulted in an R0 = 1.17, indicating the potential for a diphtheria outbreak in West Java. To control the increasing cases, one possible approach is to raise the booster vaccination coverage from the current 64.84% to 75.15%, as suggested by simulation results. Furthermore, the spatial analysis revealed that hot spot clusters were present in the western, central, and southern regions, posing a high risk not only in densely populated areas but also in rural regions. The diffusion pattern of diphtheria clusters displayed an expansion-contagious pattern. Understanding the rising trend of diphtheria cases and their geographic distribution can offer crucial insights for government and health authorities to manage the number of diphtheria cases and make informed decisions regarding the best prevention and intervention strategies.

The cekungan bandung urban area management policy formulation

This research aims to explain the management of the Cekungan Bandung Urban Area with a focus on three policy formulations, namely process, content and context in the social, environmental and economic dimensions. The research method used is a qualitative approach. Data collection techniques include observation and interviews with stakeholders, using purposive sampling techniques, including the Head of West Java Province Regional Development Planning Agency, district/city Bappeda heads, planners (Badan Perencanaan Dan Pembangunan Daerah, Bappeda), Regional People`s Representative Assembly (Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat Daerah, DPRD members), Legal Bureau and Collaboration Bureau Heads in West Java Province, and Academic Manuscript Compiler. Due to the absence of comfortable, safe, and punctual public transportation, people continue to use private vehicles, leading to unresolved traffic congestion and environmental pollution, thus resulting in economic losses. The results show the formulation of policies for managing the urban area of the Cekungan Bandung, specifically the establishment of BP Cek ban, faced challenges due to a lack of authority in managing financial and human resources. The agency couldn’t execute programs or activities and implement the development due to limitations in legal authority over state finances. Alternative policies were not effectively synchronized between government levels and lacked legislative support, hindered by regional autonomy. The contribution of the research is as reference material for the government in formulating management policies for the Cekubgan Bandung urban area.

Application of Data Mining for Clustering Human Development Index Based on West Java Province 2017-2022

Human development is used as a parameter to see development from the human side. The Human Development Index (HDI) explains how people get sufficient income, adequate health and education. Geographically, Indonesia is an archipelagic country where each province is spread across various islands separated by sea. Making the disparity in human development between provinces relatively high. The gap that occurs is still a problem that must be resolved immediately, because the gap in the human development index can hamper the government's goal of equalizing human welfare in Indonesia. −One of the problems related to population that West Java Province still has to face is the problem of imbalance in population distribution. Incomplete population distribution causes problems with population density and population pressure in an area. This research uses data sources from the West Java Province Central Statistics Agency (BPS). The data used in this research is data from 2017-2022 which consists of 27 regencies and cities of West Java Province. Therefore, researchers utilized the K-Means algorithm in clustering 27 Regencies and Cities of West Java Province. The data will be processed by clustering into 3 clusters, namely the high population area level cluster, the medium population area level cluster and the low population area level cluster. This research classifies population density using Ms. software. Excel and RapidMiner. The iteration process took place 3 times so that the results obtained were 8 regencies and cities with high population area clusters (C0), 0 regencies and cities with medium population area clusters (C1) and 19 regencies and cities with low population area clusters (C1).

Penegakan Hukum Pungutan Liar di Jawa Barat dalam Pelayanan Publik Pasca Covid-19

This research analyzes the urgency of developing electronic-based public services in preventing criminal acts of illegal levies (extortion) to support transparent and good quality government governance and offers ideas for law enforcement to eradicate extortion, which is remains considerably lacking in West Java Province, especially after Covid-19. Hence the problem formulation focuses on the issue of how to develop public services to prevent the practice of extortion and how to build law enforcement to eradicate extortion in West Java Province. This paper is normative legal research using statutory approach and conceptual approaches that uses secondary data in the form of books, law journals, research reports, magazines, statutory regulations, and recapitulation of agency performance data to produce accurate and accountable conclusions. The results of the research conclude that the development of electronic-based services can be realized by changing manual services to digital ones, upgrading digital services with new features that accommodate people's needs, increasing e-money payments that are connected to the banking system followed by developing the Public Service Mall (MPP) concept that is accessible to the public. Law enforcement overcomes extortion by building reporting system connectivity that is directly connected between SiBerli and the extortion reporting system in agencies/institutions/units providing public services, implementing a reward and punishment system objectively as well as applying administrative sanctions for officials who abuse their authority and criminal sanctions as the ultimum remedium if other legal instruments are unable to resolve the crisis.

The ensemble distance on model-based clustering for regions clustering based on rainfall: The case of rainfall in West Java Indonesia

Time series data clusters are being researched thoroughly. The distance metric drives the development of the clustering time series. The ARIMA model is one of the models that can be employed in model-based clustering, although differing model selection criteria can lead to uncertainty in the model. In this investigation, we created a technique for ensemble distance-based time series data clustering. To express the distance between two series, five distances based on the five model selection criteria are utilized. The average of the five distances reflects the distance of two time series data. According to the simulation results, the ensemble distance method could boost clustering accuracy by more than 11%. Based on the pattern of rainfall levels, we applied our methods to find clusters of locations in the Province of West Java (Indonesia). The findings indicate that the rainfall pattern in the same cluster is similar. The cluster model is effective and feasible for representing individual models in a cluster.

Analysis of factors affecting purchase intention of slow-fashion products by applying the extended theory of planned behavior

Slow fashion is a new movement in the textile industry, where slow production mode and more ethical business processes are highly considered. This movement is an alternative to buying fast fashion productsto achieve a sustainable pattern. The theory of planned behavior also includes attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavior control, which are commonly used to analyze the patterns of green attitudinal variables through other additional principles, namelythe willingness to pay a premium, consumer effectiveness, and environmental knowledge. Therefore, this study analyzed factors influencing purchase intention of slow-fashion products. In this analysis, a randomized questionnaire was implemented and distributed to 140 Generation Z people in West Java Province, Indonesia. Structural equation modelingwas also used to test the fit model and path analysis of attitudes mediating green products knowledge on the intensity of buying slow-fashion products. The results showed that the three main variables of TPB and other influential/significant expanding principles were observed, except consumers' perceived effectiveness did not affect purchase intention. The limitations also prioritized the need for more experimental loci capable of being developed at different points. Moreover, the results obtained were beneficial for both academic and managerial purposes. This proved that green product purchasing behavior analysis needs to be academically improved, specifically for slow-fashion in developing countries. Managerial suggestions also increased green knowledge of fashion products through descriptive analysis. These suggestions enhanced consumers' understanding of the effective reduction of textile waste by purchasing fashion products.

Structural Model Update on the Patuha geothermal system, West Java, Indonesia

The Patuha geothermal field is a steam-dominated geothermal system lying on a quaternary volcanic unit in West Java Province, Indonesia. The existence of manifestations in this field is interpreted from the structure control and rock deformation that generate steam production in reservoir zone. This updated study is aimed to further describe the geometry and kinematics of the geological structures model to estimate the permeable areas. The model also will explain the link between the larger tectonic framework and the detailed structure model scale in Patuha. The analysis consists of reassessment the LiDAR data, surface structure features measurement from fieldwork, and review the updated subsurface data such as feed zones, new borehole images, and re-visit the geophysical data such as microearthquakes and gravity. The surface structural interpretation is drawn from a larger area to understand the regional tectonic framework and the relation with small detail from faults and non-tectonic features. Later, the new structural framework from surface data is correlated with subsurface data that indicates permeable features, including feed zones and conductive fractures, then coupled with the geophysical data. The latter part, which concerns validating surface fault traces using subsurface data, is currently being developed and will be included in the subsequent paper. An integrated review of the geological structure of the lineament found that a strike-slip system developed in the larger Patuha area with the main fault trending NE-SW, while the accompanying fault is en-echelon faults trending relatively NNE-SSW.
