Buku ini merupakan hasil penelitian yang pernah dilakukan oleh Kelompok Peneliti Sumber Daya Air Pusat Penelitian Geoteknologi – LIPI, Membaca buku ini menyentakkan kita betapa teknologi maju dalam pemrosesan air bersih belum diterapkan, seperti memproses air laut jadi air tawar. Juga belum ada dukungan penuh terhadap penelitian sumber daya air di wilayah Indonesia, terbukti dengan sedikitnya pustaka yang ditulis oleh ilmuan kita dalam dekade terakhir ini. Air merupakan salah satu aspek geografi dalam ketahanan nasional, dan secara umum telah diketahui bahwa aktivitas manusia selalu berhubungan dengan air untuk memenuhi hajat kehidupannya. Oleh karena itu, pola permukiman biasanya mengikuti pola pematang di daerah tersebut, sehingga air merupakan suatu kekuatan nasional dalam menghadapi segala tantangan, ancaman, hambatan serta gangguan dari luar maupun dari dalam, langsung ataupun tidak langsung di dalam kehidupan bernegara(hal 204). Seperti di Jakarta jumlah pemakaian air diperkirakan berkisar antara 60 sampai 150 liter per orang per hari (45 m3 per orang per tahun) (hal 137). Secara kualitatif parameter air yang paling mudah diketahui adalah warna, bau, kekeruhan, dan rasa. Umumnya pengguna air mudah mencapai kesepakatan dalam menilai, tetapi untuk rasa lebih sulit dari ketiga parameter di atas (hal. 296). Permasalahan langkanya sumber daya air bersih bertambah, dengan adanya perubahan iklim akibat pemanasan global (global warming) dan pembalakan hutan secara liar. Di buku ini banyak rumus atau istilah yang sangat khusus untuk bidang ilmu yang mengkajinya saja, disayangkan sedikit sekali muatan solusi dari keadaan lingkungan yang diteliti.

The development in Indonesia’s borderlands which relies on the capability of their local community in constructing appropriate technologies is one of the key factors in promoting their living standard and in boosting their self confidence. This capability, as one of the forms of the the local community empowerment, is composed of such factors as the attitude, capability and capacity level, ability to allocate their available resources, and level of understanding on technology of the local community as well as the availability of the institutional infrastructures in their local government.

Hermeneutics is a theory that deals with text interpretation. This theory is commonly used as a method to understand a text although Hermeneutics itself does not explicitly formulate the practical steps to understand a text. Among the theories of interpretation, Hermeneutics has various sub-interpretation theories. In the perspective of Hermeneutics, the initail stage of interpretation involves the objective interpretation of a text before symbolization is made. The message of the text is then related to the other elements of the texts such as the sender of the text, other related disciplines, and socio-cultural aspect of the text. The understanding of a text will eventually be identical with the quality improvement of the interpreter’s own self. However, in practice, Hermeneutics can be used to intrepret various texts. This paper will only discusses the text of artistic and literary work. These two different texts will be analyzed by using one of the perspectives of Hermeneutics in a simple and applicable formulation. Key words: interpretation, objective text teks, symbolization, methapora, layers of meaning, one own’s self quality

The social and political behavior differences among the Kyais (Islamic religious leaders) have been very much influenced by two main factors: their social position and personal capability. The former factor relates with their social position with which they drive the social changes. They function as a’cultural broker’ becouse they can communicate with various social groups and accommodate each social group’s interest. The latter factor deals with their capability, based on their understanding about Islamic teachings, in guiding their local Islamic believers to make their political decisions.

Membaca judul buku ini mungkin kita berharap bahwa ilustrasi bagian depannya akan berupa hamparan sawah dengan padi yang sedang menguning dan bukit hijau sebagai latar belakangnya. Namun kita menjadi tertarik untuk membacanya ketika kita disuguhi dengan gambar pantai yang indah dan sunyi, dengan latar belakang matahari yang sedang mengembang di ufuk timur. Barangkali memang inilah yang diharapkan oleh penggagas buku ini, bahwa ini bukanlah tentang pertanian semata, tetapi jauh lebih luas daripada itu. Judul buku ini menyiratkan gagasan kepada kita tentang upaya menjadikan kegiatan pertanian sebagai bagian peradaban bangsa.

The quality of text and reference books strongly influences the process and the output of education. The quality of books in this research refers to the level of readability. Based on the previous research to intermediate schools there were so many low readable books that affect the quality of education. With reference to the fact, the purpose of this research was to study and to assess the level of readability of basic science texts for the students of TPB-ITB, Including physics, chemistry, mathematics, and biology. By this research, the level of readability is expectedly found : low, medium, high. The test instruments used were the closure technique and the principle of closure. The closure technique is one of the test instruments with certain procedures, by selectively omitting words. The omitted words are those of the n-number, the fifth until the tenth. The texts that were adopted as the instrument of this research were 33 passages provided to the students of TPB-ITB as the respondents. The criteria of percentage in this closure technique research was of Rankin’s and Culhane’s. The result of this research was that the level of readability of basic science texts (physics, chemistry, mathematics, and biology) generally belonged to medium category (score : 46.83). The readability of physics texts was high (60.51), that of chemistry was medium (52), of biology medium (43.19), and of mathematics low (31.62). At a glance analysis (needs a further research), language is not the main factor for failing to comprehend the scientific texts. The shape and the small size of letter fonts (10) and the density of lines (1-1.5 space) is one of the causes of unexpected readability level.

Human beings have culture and with this, they can do any activities. However, the enculturization has deviated; man cannot adapt with the culture system on the social environment. This behavior has caused the nature phenomena evolve from the God’s destiny. As a civilized creature, man has done improper things, so it resulted in the culture imbalance. The material culture has moved much further than the nonmaterial culture; consequently, the natural disaster turn up.

The unevenly distributed development can trigger a social and political conflict in local areas. The development that always supported the capitalists also created a gap, the corruption among the officials could never stop. The reformation that initially gave a hope to the people, yet it never comes true. The obvious success of reformation is only the freedom to talk, to gather, and to ally. However, the success has become a boomerang. This results in the pesimism among the intelectuals that reflects in some books. The situation has been worst by some natural disasters. Some people assume that it is closely related to the human behaviour. Both positive and negative political and social situation are unable to detach from the effect in global level, self-image, and mentality.

Currently, national education system is still incapable to provide meaningful contribution to the advancement of Indonesia’s nation. It is mirrored on the teaching system at ITB, education here can not forge learners to become agents of innovation for development & prosperity to the Indonesian-national community. Refferring to “Development on Humanity Science at ITB (EG-HSc=Expert Group on Humanity Science, 2006)”, the students’ perception is, that lecture-units furnisked by the department (study programe) are yet to keep-up in defining graduates toward modernization agents. Hereby, an educational-direction still obscures itself in turning-out graduates. Either they would be directed for managerial or, prepared to be workers. On the other hands ITB’s students are relucant to leave “secured-zone”. Which is, to be employed by enterproses or institutions rather than cretae/expand employments. Based on abalysis of Sociotechnology Department’s Lab. (SocTec Laboratory, ABPS et, al., 2006), the students’ essential-needs, are abilities to become innovative agents by forming thought-pattern, comprehension & absorption over what to do. How to act & solve in anticipating the risks when it is carried-out. In this context, lecture-units-curricullum, SAP & Syllabus-given to the students are closely linked to searching solution & way of actions. In solving/anticipating diverse problems amidst Indonesia’s National society, nowadays & in the future.
