<p><em>Housing has an important role in the economic development of the family. Besides has a function as a comfortable dwelling unit, the housing also used as a place to business activity through the Home Based Enterprises (HBE). Pekalongan City is the city where batik industries are growing rapidly. Cluster Batik Jenggot is the top three of batik clusters from 11 batik clusters in Pekalongan City. HBE is enterprises activities that highly contribute to the economic structure of Pekalongan City. However, HBE at Cluster Batik Jenggot is faced with the problems that the house used as a place of enterprises and dwelling has not clearly border. The aim of this research is to examine the pattern of utilization of space at HBE in Cluster Batik Jenggot. The study is conducted by qualitative research methods. Technique sampling is using snowball sampling to 9 respondents. The analysis is done by qualitative descriptive analysis. The results show that the pattern of space utilization at home for batik printing activities is classified into two typologies, i.e. mixture and separate typology. In the mixture typology, the utilization of space in the main building is both for a place to work and residence, which printing activity usually is done on the outside of the house. While in the separate typology, the working space is provided separately, which usually provided in the beside, behind, and in front of the main building. The utilization of spaces at UBR is adjusted to the type and timing of activity.</em></p>

<p>Sumber daya air merupakan salah satu sumber daya bersama. Dalam pengelolaannya, sumber daya bersama dihadapkan pada persoalan yaitu munculnya persaingan antar penggunanya yang disebabkan oleh karakteristik sumber daya yang bebas dimanfaatkan oleh siapapun, tetapi kemanfaatan dari sumber daya akan berkurang. Implikasi dari persoalan tersebut menimbulkan suatu fenomena yang disebut <em>commons dilemma</em>. Fenomena ini terjadi ketika pengelolaan sumber daya bersama dan konsekuensi di dalamnya dihadapkan pada lemahnya aspek kelembagaan. Fenomena ini pula yang terjadi pada objek penelitian yaitu Daerah Irigasi Kapilaler. Masalah yang terjadi yaitu timbulnya konflik air antar petani sepanjang saluran irigasi tersebut. Masalah yang terjadi memiliki sejarah dan transformasi pengelolaan yang cukup kompleks dengan melibatkan banyak pihak baik pemerintah, petani maupun swasta di bidang air minum dalam kemasan. Lemahnya kerjasama antar pihak mengakibatkan masalah menjadi berkepanjangan. Adapun metode penelitian yang digunakan yaitu metode penelitian kualitatif dengan strategi studi kasus. Teknik analisis dilakukan dengan analisis kualitatif deskriptif. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukan bahwa <em>common</em><em>s</em><em> dilemma</em> yang terjadi pada pengelolaan Daerah Irigasi Kapilaler merupakan suatu kondisi dimana pengelolaan sumber daya air dihadapkan pada lemahnya kerjasama antar pengguna sehingga berdampak buruk pada kondisi fisik sumber daya itu sendiri hingga akhirnya timbul persaingan antar pengguna. Dari penelitian ini juga menunjukan bahwa kondisi sumber daya yang memadai tidak menjamin keseluruhan keberhasilan pengelolaan sumber daya, selama aspek kelembagaan masih lemah.</p>

The impact of climate change has caused flooding in the North Coast of Central Java Province. The level of flood hazard in 14 urban/municipalities on the North Coast of Central Java is all in the high category. The potential population exposed to flooding in this area reaches around 11,589,000 people, where a third are vulnerable groups (the poor). The impact of the flood disaster has caused environmental damage as well as physical and economic losses. This article aims to examine strategies to increase the resilience of the North Coast of Central Java using the Socio-Ecological System (SES) approach, where there is a reciprocal relationship between aspects of nature/environment (Natural System) and socio-economic (Socio-Economic Systems). Given that vulnerability (V) in the Pantura area of Central Java is dominated by many poor people and vulnerable groups, the strategy that needs to be done to reduce vulnerability is through poverty alleviation programs. To reduce the level of exposure (E) in the form of large physical and economic losses, it is necessary to provide the urban infrastructure that ensures the sustainability of the socio-economic activity system can take place properly. In addition, it is also necessary to control land use change because this has reduced the capacity and storage capacity of water, as well as prevented flooding. Finally, to overcome environmental damage, it is necessary to carry out an environmental conservation program on the North Coast of Central Java in a comprehensive and sustainable manner.
