Breakthrough of the New Professor of UNDIP

Breakthrough of the New Professor of UNDIP

by | Dec 18, 2020 | News, Research and Dedication, The SDGs

FPIK, SEMARANG – Diponegoro University again held a presentation of prospective professors at the UNDIP Academic Senate Meeting Room which was attended by the Chair, Deputy, and Secretary of the Academic Senate, as well as the Board of Professors. The Plenary Meeting of the Senate Academic Professors Council is held online and offline.

The first presentation by Dr. sc. Agr. Iwan Rudiarto, S.T., M.Sc., lecturer at the Faculty of Engineering (FT) UNDIP who explained the results of his research entitled “Planning and Development of Inclusive Villages: Multi-Dimensional Approaches to Sustainable Village Planning & Development”. The conditions and socio-economic development of rural communities are closely related to the availability of resources, however, the high movement of villagers towards the city causes changes in the social and economic structure of rural communities. Other factors such as financial, social, and physical factors called livelihood assets greatly affect the availability of rural land resources. There is a need for rural socioeconomic and resource modeling as well as modeling of future development strategies. By identifying socioeconomic characteristics spatially, it can be seen that there are significant differences between developed and less developed regions, comparability of rural areas, and differences in typology. Environmental issues such as land degradation also affect the resilience and economic conditions of rural communities. Through his research, the lecturer who is also a member of the National Planning Association (IAP) focuses on developing rural and rural areas in the city of Semarang, by identifying rural resilience, vulnerability and disaster mitigation in coastal areas, and village spatial planning from the aspect of utilization land resources.

The second presentation was delivered by Dr. Ir. Fronthea Swastawati, M.Sc. who is a lecturer at the Faculty of Fisheries and Marine Science (FPIK) UNDIP. Based on the fact that the level of fish consumption in Indonesia continues to increase, he raised the theme “Liquid Smoke Technology Innovation for the Processing of Fishery Products Towards the Industrial Revolution 4.0 in Indonesia”. One of the main products produced by fish processing in Central Java is smoked fish, which can now be processed using liquid smoke technology. Liquid smoke has many advantages compared to conventional smoking methods, including fish that can cook evenly more quickly, does not burn, avoids the effects of carcinogens, is environmentally friendly, and acts as a flavoring agent as well as a smoke flavor. The use of liquid smoke technology is not only for smoked fish, but can also be used in the processing of fresh fish, meatballs, nuggets, and other food ingredients. The development of this liquid smoke engine innovation is supported by the Department of Marine Affairs and Fisheries of Central Java Province.

The results of this research from FT and FPIK UNDIP lecturers aim to solve problems that exist in society, especially in Semarang and Central Java Province. With this research, it is hoped that UNDIP can focus on researching the area of ​​Central Java Province and the northern coast of Java Island with the theme of urbanization and rural-urban transformation. In the fisheries sector, UNDIP liquid smoke technology contributes to the exploration of potential marine resources, increases the effectiveness and production of processed fishery products, and expands market access with more modern management.

Rob Calendar application created by Department of Oceanography is beneficial for Indonesian coasts

Rob Calendar application created by Department of Oceanography is beneficial for Indonesian coasts

by | Sep 22, 2020 | Research and Dedication, The SDGs

FPIK, SEMARANG – The tidal flood disaster known locally as rob is a natural event caused by the sea level dynamics that periodically inundates the land surface. Combined with present climate change, it is potentially harmful and might and disrupt normal life of the people in the area. Tidal flood disaster has become a serious threat to the coastal area of ​​Semarang City. This became the motivation for the Science and Technology Community Service Team for Undip Assisted Villages (IDBU), Department of Oceanography, Faculty of Fisheries and Marine Sciences (FPIK) to make a breakthrough. They have succeeded creating an application capable of predicting the rob occurance. The application is called “Rob Calendar” and can be downloaded from the Play Store.

This year, the IDBU team provided data updates of the Rob Calendar 2020 in the Tambakrejo coastal area, Tanjung Mas Village, Semarang. The activity was held on Saturday, September 19, 2020, attended by residents and community leaders as well as community group leaders.

The socialization of the how to use as well as data update of Rob Calendar 2020 is a continuation of the collaboration between the Community Supervisory Group (Pokmaswas) and the Community Service Team of the Oceanography Department of Diponegoro University which was carried out through the Science and Technology Program for IDBU during 2018-2020.

According to the head of the IDBU Team, Prof. Dr. Denny Nugroho Sugianto ST. MSi., this event aims to create a community that is resilient to coastal disasters in Tanjung Mas Village, Semarang, Central Java due to tidal floods (rob) which are part of the life of the local community at any time.

Using the Rob Calendar, the public can easily predict when the rob occurs, the height of tidal flood is, how long the rob will last, and how the water level is in the rob, so that residents can anticipate any damage by moving their belongings or furnitures to avoid be flooded by the tidal water that suddenly came.

Another benefit for the residents is when they will hold social, religious events, and even wedding receptions. Residents get information from Rob’s Calendar to decide the the time for various events so it doesn’t coincide with rob occurrence. In addition, it is also useful as information for short, medium and long term mitigation for the government, stakeholders, and the community related to tidal disasters that occur in coastal areas.

This effort is one form of implementation of UNDIP activity in the context of the government’s agenda, i.e. sustainable development goals (SDGs) 13 (climate action) and 17 (partnerships for the goals), namely strengthening implementation measures and revitalizing global partnerships for sustainable development. SDGs are a global action plan agreed upon by world leaders, including Indonesia, to end poverty, reduce inequality and protect the environment. The SDGs contain 17 Goals and 169 Targets that are expected to be achieved by 2030.

Chairman of RT 04 RW 16 Mr. Suratno who also serves as Chairman of the Manunggal Bahari Community Supervisory Group (Pokmaswas) representing residents, said that the Rob Calendar is very useful and serves as a guide for residents in determining the timing for events to be held in the village. According to the head of RW 16 Tambakrejo Tanjung Mas, Mr. Slamet Riyadi, the Rob Calendar made by IDBU Team since 2018-2020 is very useful in everyday life which does not escape the tidal disasters that come all the time. Now, residents can anticipate and be able to save their belongings before the rob arrives.

Furthermore, IDBU team member Dr. Muhammad Helmi added that the rob Calendar has 2 versions, i.e. digital and printed form. For the digital form, the Android-based rob Calendar application can be downloaded on the Play Store, displaying water level conditions, where in one day there is information on the highest water level and lowest water level, in meters. Data is displayed hourly and daily live. As well as information on the water level whether it is still in a safe level, alert 1, alert 2, and alert. There is also information about the Gregorian and Javanese calendars as well as information on the lunar cycle. Currently the Rob Calendar application only provides data in the city of Semarang and its surroundings and is in the development stage for the entire northern coast of Central Java. In the future, the Rob Calendar application will continue to be expanded to other areas prone to tidal or tidal floods. (Adm | Source: undip.ac.id & pkmbrp.undip.ac.id).
