Abstrak. Tata guna lahan pertanian telah mengalami optimalisasi guna menghasilkan kemanfaatan ekosistem (ecosystem services (ES)) di dalam beberapa dekade terakhir, yang seringnya mempengaruhi regulasi dan kemanfaatan budaya (cultural services). Penelitian pada umumnya dalam bidang ini menitikberatkan perhatian pada sisi persediaan ES dan tukar tambah yang terkait dengannya, namun sisi permintaan untuk kemanfaatan regulasi masih terabaikan. Tujuan dari penelitian kali ini ialah untuk mengevaluasi kegunaan dari metode-metode sistem informasi geografi partisipatoris (participatory geographic information system (PGIS)) untuk telaah permintaan di dalam lingkup wilayah pedesaan dan pertanian yang lebih luas dengan mengidentifikasi pola-pola permintaan yang secara keruangan bersifat eksplisit untuk ES, yakni dengan memperluas cakupan pendekatan-pendekatan partisipatoris terhadap pengelolaan guna lahan yang berbasis ES. Sehingga, penelitian ini memetakan, menelaah, dan menganalisis secara keruangan dan secara statistik permintaan-permintaan yang berbeda untuk lima ES oleh lima kelompok pemangku kebijakan yang berbeda di bentang alam pertanian di dalam tiga studi kasus. Penelitian ini menyajikan hasil pengamatan di dalam sebuah workshop pemangku kebijakan dan mendiskusikan prasyarat pengelolaan ES kolaboratif. Hasil menunjukkan adanya korelasi yang rendah antara kelompok-kelompok pemangku kebijakan dan permintaan untuk ES; akan tetapi, lahan yang dapat digunakan untuk pertanian menunjukkan sebaran tertinggi daerah permintaan yang dipetakan untuk lima ES. Hasil ini telah divalidasi oleh survei dan workshop pemangku kebijakan. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa PGIS merepresentasikan sebuah piranti yang berguna untuk menghubungkan telaah permintaan dengan pengelolaan bentang alam secara sistematis, khususnya bagi sistem pendukung keputusan.

Healthcare Waste in the United States Healthcare System

-
How America will pay for healthcare is a subject on the mind of virtually every American today. As Congress determines who will pick up the tab for this important and growing expense, it is worthwhile to take a close look at the cost of healthcare itself. Are there areas where expenses can be cut without undermining the quality of care provided? How prevalent are misuse, overuse, and fraud? This paper tackles the tangled issue of healthcare waste and arrives at some interesting, and perhaps even surprising, conclusions: America’s healthcare system is, indeed, hemorrhaging billions of dollars, and the opportunities to slow the fiscal bleeding are substantial. To organize the evidence supporting claims for the magnitude of waste in the healthcare system,we first suggest a set of categories of waste. For each category, there is a simple definition, a brief description of the examples, and references that allow us to make a reasonable assessment of total annual waste for each category. Ca

International Forestry LawReducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD) and decentralized forest management

-
Authors: Irawan, S.; Tacconi, L The implementation of a mechanism for Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD - plus) will be affected by governance conditions within host countries. The top eight countries, which are responsible for 70 percent of the world's total annual deforestation, have implemented certain forms of decentralization in public administration and forest management. This paper analyzes implications of decentralized forest management for the implementation of REDD. Three possible options for the involvement of local governments in the implementation of REDD are: 1) the central government decides on a national reference level and devolves the implementation to local governments; 2) the central government decides on a national reference level and seeks expressions of interest from local governments to implement REDD in their administrative areas; and 3) the central and local governments decide on a national reference level jointly and loc

A study of drinking water quality of PDAM

-
One of problems faced by community dealing with water services provided by the State-owned Water Company (PDAM) is inadequacy of the services in fulfilling household needs. Customers often complain because this limited volume of water they can use for daily activities, such the research found in a service quality analysis of drinking water provided by PDAM. The study on service quality may have its cornerstones on three main aspects: the quality, quantity, and continuity.  In case of drinking water quality at the observed location, one should relate it to the quality threshold under the Letter of Decree of the Minister of Health Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia, Kepmenkes RI, No.907/MENKES/SK/VII 2002, which has been applicable since July 28, 2002. In addition, there is also another technique of analysis to measure the water quality level by examining water debit, water pressure, and flow continuity. However, to deal with PDAM’s vision and mission, service quality analysis is lik
