Sandy beach is a marginal land, when it is not managed properly the conditions will be worsened and at the end it cannot be planted. This marginal land is aggravated by unfavorable conditions such as extreme high temperatures, the presence of salt vapor that causes the plants to die, and the lacking of water for plants. With regard to this matter, it is necessary to conduct a research that aims to determine the role of Casuarina equisetifolia in improving the microclimate of sandy beaches. The research was conducted on sandy beaches in Karanggadung, Petanahan Subdistrict, Kebumen since 2005, with climate observations from 2009 to 2014. The climate observation method is by measuring light, air temperature, humidity, air pressure and altitude. Each measurement used three repetitions for each location and measured twice a day: 07.00 and 16.00. The results showed that the existence of C. equisetifolia gave a positive effect on micro climate improvement at Karanggadung Beach, Kebumen which included: 1) decreasing light intencity from 1925 lux to 213 lux, 2) decreasing air temperature from 31 °C to 25 °C, 3) increasing air humidity from 84% to 100%, 4) increasing air pressure from 1007 mb to 1008 mb, and 5) increasing sand dune level from 27 m ASL (Above Sea Level) to 35 m ASL.

Landslide is a hydrometeorologycal disaster that usually happens in Indonesia. The purpose of this study was to determine the level of landslide vulnerability in Banjarnegara District. This study employed survey and descriptive quantitative methods by using a formula of landslide vulnerability, with variables: natural and management factors. The analysis used in this study was overlaying the predetermined formula and weighting it. The results indicated a variety of vulnerability classes, which were: 1) non-vulnerable zone of 44.88 ha (0.04%), 2) slightly vulnerable zone of 7,800.84 ha (7.29%), 3) fairly vulnerable zone of 88,505.80 ha (82.74%), 4) vulnerable zone of 10,423.32 ha (9.74%), and 5) very vulnerable zone of 196.16 ha (0.18%). The dominant parameters for landslides in Bajarnegara were: rain, geology and regolith. Mitigation techniques employed in those areas should be based on community-selfsupporting mitigation through the development of disaster resilient villages. Disaster resilient village is a village that is responsive and can minimize disaster risks through adaptation. Several measures can be done independently autonomously by the community including increase the alertness during rainy period, seal all cracked soil due to the fault movement, and protect the soils through slope (stabilization and protection of slopes).

Climate change is a major challenge for Indonesia due to its impact on food, water, energy sustainability, and environmental health. Almost all Indonesian regions are exposed to floods, landslides, soil erosion, drought, and heavy rains. In response to these challenges, the Government of Indonesia has determined integrated watershed management (IWM) to be one of the key programs to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, as stated in the updated Indonesian nationally determined contribution (NDC). This paper intends to review Indonesia′s efforts in mitigating and adapting to climate change through an IWM approach, and its attempts to realize a decent life and environment for all communities. Improvement of the IWM can be conducted by strengthening the synergy between the responsible institutions for watershed management and the responsible institutions for handling mitigation and adaptation of climate change impacts. In addition, it is important to prioritize coordination, participation, and collaboration not only at the national government level but also at the international level, since numerous problems may exist in the transboundary between countries, and finding solutions should involve planning, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation. Implementing the micro watershed model (MWM), supported by culture, local wisdom, and traditional knowledge in communities, can be used to improve the current IWM.

Landslide is a hydrometeorologycal disaster that usually happens in ABSTRAKBencana tanah longsor merupakan bencana hidrometeorologi yang sering terjadi di Indonesia. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui tingkat kerentanan tanah longsor di Kabupaten Banjarnegara. Metode penelitian yang dilakukan adalah survey dan deskriptif kuantitatif dengan menggunakan metode kerentanan longsor dengan parameter: faktor alami dan manajemen. Analisis yang digunakan adalah overlay dari parameter yang telah ditentukan dan pembobotan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa wilayah dengan kelas kerentanan: 1) tidak rentan seluas 44,88 ha (0,04%), 2) sedikit rentan 7.800,84 ha (7,29%), 3) agak rentan 88.505,80 ha (82,74%), 4) rentan 10.423,32 ha (9,74%), dan 5) sangat rentan 196,16 ha (0,18%). Parameter yang dominan untuk tanah longsor di Banjarnegara adalah hujan, geologi dan kedalaman regolith. Upaya mitigasi yang dapat diterapkan pada wilayah yang dikategorikan rentan longsor ini adalah berbasis kemandirian masyarakat melalui pembentukan desa tangguh bencana, yaitu desa yang tanggap dan dapat meminimalkan risiko bencana melalui adaptasi atau penyesuaian diri terhadap lingkungan yang rentan terhadap bencana tanah longsor.

The characteristics of the landcover of a territory were really influenced by the condition biophysical and social his community's economics. To the territory with the high rainfall had a rare population, the pattern of the landcover was more dominant to the annual crop, conversely to the high rainfall territory had a solid population the pattern of the land cover was more dominant in crops. Whereas to the dry territory (low rain) with the rare inhabitants, the pattern of the his land cover was dominated the meadow and the crop kept dry. The requirement would the latest data, the high accuracy, to the area that was wide to monitor the change in one unity of the management of watershed. This research aimed at studying the application of remote sensing (RS) and the geographical information system (GIS) to monitoring and the evaluation of watershed. Physical conditions for the land that was dominated by the land form of the mountainous land and hills with the slope that was steep until precipitous, caused the territory around Grindulu SubWatershed the potential would the occurrence of the landslide. This landslide incident was also supported by the rock situation that has begun to go mouldy resulting from the disintegration by the hot influence and rain as well as decomposition. Although having some areas of the land that was dominated the bare-rock and the rock-outcrop, but because the land cover was relatively dense in the area of mountains and hills then year round the Grindulu river had not been dry.
