IHST (Integrated, Holistic, Spatial, and Thematic) Flood Management Model: The Integration of Flood Model, Green Infrastructure and Non-Structural Mitigation in the Urban Area of Barabai City

Abstract The January 2021 Floods paralyzed the entire Hulu Sungai Tengah Region, South Kalimantan Province, Indonesia, submerging 20,553 houses, causing minor damage to 2,973 houses, severe damage to 268 houses, and resulting in losses exceeding 53 million dollars. The Barabai Urban Area was one of the locations severely affected by flood. The flood management was conducted in the Barabai urban area to predict and visualize water movement during flooding, aiding in understanding and mitigating flood risks, as well as developing effective flood management strategies. The flood management was carried out adopted the IHST Model, which is the abbreviation from Integrated, Holistic, Spatial, and Thematic. The activities involve HECRAS 6.2 application, utilizing Google Earth terrain data, river geometry data, and flood discharge analysis based on the Nakayasu method. The analysis results highlighted the need for both structural and non-structural flood interventions. Non-structural interventions aiming to reduce vulnerability and enhance community capacity in facing flood. Structural developments involved the construction of storm water retention ponds and river embankments at specific locations based on the flood modelling results. The concept of polder and river embankment development was approached through green infrastructure principles, as flood management solutions should not only facilitate rapid water drainage but also improve soil absorption to prevent prolonged inundation.

Legal Awareness of Citizens in Preventing Forest and Land Fires (Karhutla) in South Kalimantan Province

This article is based on an empirical study of forest and land fires in South Kalimantan Province. These fires frequently occur and persist, especially during drought seasons. The main causes are twofold: first, the expansion of agricultural land through clearing new areas; and second, the negligence of residents during hot, dry seasons, such as discarding cigarette butts carelessly without considering the potential consequences. The root issue behind these fires is the low level of legal awareness among citizens. This lack of awareness is due to the low educational levels of residents living near fire-prone areas, as well as insufficient and poorly structured government-led socialization efforts. Additionally, the economic conditions of these communities, where many are low-income farmers, contribute to their reliance on traditional, quick, and cost-effective methods like burning to manage land for agriculture. This practice not only harms the environment but also impacts public health. Therefore, effective measures to address forest and land fires require a dual approach from the authorities: enhancing legal awareness through improved socialization efforts and addressing the economic challenges faced by residents in fire-affected areas.

Coconut Shells, Water Hyacinth and Rice Husks are Very Effective in Improving the Quality of Physical and Chemical Standards of Dug Well Water in Flood Areas

Introduction: Ensuring access to clean and safe drinking water is crucial, especially in flood-prone regions where the water quality in dug wells can deteriorate due to various physicochemical factors. This research was aimed to measure the effectiveness of natural materials in improving water quality based on physicochemical parameters and to compare water quality before and after treatment in Astambul Subdistrict of Banjar Regency, South Kalimantan Province. Methods: The study involved a survey of 192 private boreholes and dug wells across five villages in the Astambul Subdistrict, with 30 samples selected for detailed analysis. Key physicochemical parameters analyzed included total dissolved solids (TDS), dissolved oxygen (DO), turbidity, and total suspended solids (TSS). TDS, with a standard limit of 50 mg/L, served as a primary water quality indicator. DO, essential for gauging water oxygenation, and was measured as it results from photosynthesis and atmospheric absorption. Turbidity was assessed using a turbidimeter to determine water clarity, and a UV-vis Spectrophotometer 2008 was utilized to measure levels of iron (Fe) and mangasene (Mn). Results and Discussion: The findings demonstrated that coconut shells, husks, and water hyacinths improved water quality across physical and chemical parameters. Statistical analysis using t-tests showed improvements in these parameters after treatment. For example, DO levels increased in multiple villages, with the highest percentage in Kaliukan Village (59.2%) and decreases in turbidity and TSS. Conclusion: The study concluded that coconut shells, husks, and water hyacinths have potential to enhance physicochemical quality of water.

Endopedon pada Tanah yang Berkembang dari Batuan Ultrabasa di Desa Kiram Kecamatan Karang Intan Kabupaten Banjar

Endopedon identification is very necessary to determine the development, physical and chemical properties of soil. The development of endopedons originating from ultramafic rocks around Kiram Village, Karang Intan District, Banjar Regency has not been studied much, therefore it is necessary to explore more about the results of soil development. This research was a descriptive method to identify diagnostic horizons that develop in the endopedon. South Kalimantan is one of the areas where ultrabasic rocks are distributed and is an area with a wet tropical climate. The weathering force of the parent material will be faster in the wet tropics. Ultrabasic rocks in each region have different mineral and chemical compositions. Based on the research results, the Oxic horizon in Profile-1 was found at a depth of 29 cm to 76 cm from the ground surface. While in Profile-2 the Oxic horizon was found at a depth of 19 cm to 110 cm from the ground surface. The formation of the oxic horizon is due to the Latosolization process. Such as the long laterization process is supported by environmental conditions, climate, and rainfall making this laterization process will be better.

Dynamics of Islamic Education in Kalimantan: Uncovering the Strategy of Dissemination and Assimilation in the Early Days

It is known that the periodization of the entry of Islam into Indonesia is classified as one of the four major immigration that forms the socio-cultural ecosystem of the Indonesian people, including the spread of Islam in South Kalimantan during that period. After the four major immigration periods, only then did the European colonial nations enter which started from the Portuguese, Spanish, Dutch and finally Japanese. This study uses a qualitative method with a library research approach. Islam entered Kalimantan in the 15th century A.D.A.D. by peaceful means brought by missionaries from Java. Sunan Bonang and Sunan Giri have students in Kalimantan, Sulawesi, and Maluku. Sunan Giri's composition is called Kalam Muyang, while Sunan Bonang's composition is called Sumur Serumbung. Islamic education in Kalimantan in the course of history has its own pride, with the publication of a person who received the title "Matahari Islam of Kalimantan".
