Agricultural drought is alarmed by meteorological drought characterized by lower year-to-year rainfall. Under long period and continuous water deficits, plants may demonstrate stress symptoms and wilt or die. Furthermore, agricultural drought leads to crop failures and threaten the food security of an area. Progo Hulu sub-watershed is a major agricultural area in Temanggung Regency. Spatial-temporal pattern-based information about agricultural drought can be a basis for decision making in drought mitigation. This study aims to analyze spatial and temporal distribution patterns of drought, analyze the physical characteristics of land and their influence on drought pattern, and establish a prediction model of drought distribution patterns based on four physical characteristics of the land. Landsat 8 imagery is used to determine the spatial and temporal patterns of agricultural drought in Upper Progo watershed using an improved Temperature vegetation Dryness Index (iTVDI). Slope, land use, landform, and soil texture are the physical characteristics of land as the variables to determine the most influential factor of drought pattern. They are analyzed using multiple regression analysis techniques. Pixel samples are obtained through purposive sampling method based on land units. The results reveal that the spatial-temporal distribution of agricultural drought occurs rapidly on the slopes and foothills of Sumbing and Sindoro. These areas have the highest average value of the iTVDI index. Agricultural drought extends gradually in line with the number of days without rainfall. Landform is a physical characteristic that most influences the distribution of agricultural drought. The established model by utilizing four variables of physical characteristics generates an average value which almost similar to the iTVDI value produced by remote sensing data. The model can be useful to estimate drought distribution based on the number of days without rainfall.

Tujuan dilakukannya pengabdian masyarakat ini sebagai upaya mitigasi bencana banjir di Kelurahan Sewu dengan memanfaatkan teknologi sederhana berupa pembuatan Lubang Resapan Biopori (LRB). Melalui pembuatan LRB ini diharapkan mampu meningkatkan pengetahuan dan sikap masyarakat dalam mengurangi risisko terjadinya bencana banjir. Kegiatan yang dilaksanakan dalam pengabdian ini berupa sosialisasi kepada masyarakat dan demonstrasi pembuatan LRB serta menjadikan LRB sebagai media pembuatan pupuk kompos dari sapah organik. Pengabdian pada masyarakat ini dilaksanakan pada bulan April sampai Juni 2019 di Kelurahan Sewu Kota Surakarta. Luaran dari program ini yaitu menjadikan masyarakat mengerti akan manfaat yang didapat dari pembuatan LRB, selain itu menjadikan masyarakat mengerti bagaimana upaya mitigasi bencana banjir tidak hanya sekedar teoritis, memanfaatkan lahan pekarangan sebagai lokasi LRB. Hasil pengabdian menunjukkan bahwa tingkat pengetahuan masyarakat terhadap bencana banjir mengalami peningkatan sebesar 12%, namun dalam implementasi kegiatan mitigasi bencana banjir, masyarakat perlu dampingan agar berperan aktif dalam mitigasi banjir.

Landslides are disasters that often hit several areas in Banjarnegara Regency. The worst landslide incident which claimed many victims occurred on December 12, 2014, in Jemblung Hamlet, Sampang Village, Karangkobar District, which resulted in the settlement of one hamlet being buried. The high risk of landslides in the Karangkobar District necessitates adequate preparedness and capacity. The focus of the research was to determine (1) the level of student preparedness for landslides in Karangkobar District, (2) the level of student adaptive capacity for landslides in Karangkobar District, and (3) the relationship between preparedness and student adaptive capacity. The researchers used a quantitative descriptive method and collected data using questionnaires, observations, and secondary data on disaster events from the Central Regional Management Agency (BPBD) of Banjarnegara Regency. Four junior high schools in the Karangkobar District were studied. The findings showed that preparedness was homogeneous across the four schools. The level of preparedness was moderate, with an index of 71% - 75%. MTs Muhammadiyah Karangkobar was in the high category for adaptive capacity with 80.54%, and other schools were classified as medium. Preparedness correlated with adaptive capacity, with a significance value of 0.035 (<0.05). Keywords: disaster, preparedness, adaptive capacity, landslide

Abstrak: Penelitian ini mengkaji tentang karakteristik dan dinamika sosial ekonomi masyarakat nelayan di Kecamatan Banyubiru. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui aspek sosial ekonomi masyarakat nelayan yang mencakup pendidikan, lama menjadi nelayan, usia rata-rata, pendapatan, serta dinamika perubahannya. Populasi penelitian berjumlah 191 nelayan dengan sampel yang diambil sebanyak 115 nelayan menggunakan teknik proporsional random sampling. Hasil penelitian menyimpulkan : 1) rata-rata tingkat pendidikan nelayan tergolong rendah dengan presentase tertinggi sebesar 57,14% pada kelompok nelayan Minarejeki dan Rowoganjar, 2) Usia rata-rata nelayan memasuki usia masa lansia yaitu dengan umur 51-66 tahun sebesar 42,25 %, serta hampir semasa usianya menjadi nelayan, 3) tingkat pendapatan rata-rata nelayan tergolong dalam kelas rendah dengan presentase tertinggi sebesar 94,44 %, 4) terjadi dinamika pada kelompok nelayan sebagai upaya peningkatan taraf hidup dengan presentase sebesar 1,6 % kelompok nelayan yang beralih ke nelayan keramba.      Kata kunci: dinamika, ekonomi, nelayan, sosial   Abstract: Berisi terjemahan abstrak Bahasa Indonesia ke dalam Bahasa Inggris dengan aturan penulisan yang sama. This study examines the characteristics and socio-economic dynamics of fishing communities in Banyubiru District. This study aims to determine the socio-economic aspects of fishing communities which include education, length of time being a fisherman, average age, income, and the dynamics of change. The research population was 191 fishermen with 115 fishermen using proportional random sampling technique. The results of the study concluded: 1) the average level of education of fishermen is low with the highest percentage of 57.14% in the fishermen group Minarejeki and Rowoganjar, 2) The average age of fishermen entering the age of the elderly is 51-66 years of age 42, 25%, and almost during his age as a fisherman, 3) the average income level of fishermen is classified as low with the highest percentage of 94.44%, 4) they are dynamics in the fishermen group as an effort to improve living standards with a percentage of 1.6% groups of fishermen who switch to cage fishermen.     Keywords: dynamics, economy, fishermen, social
