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. The borderlands may integrate the concept of appropriate technological development into their community empowerment program whose aim is to improve their local people’s living standard.

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

An appropriate step to maintain national resilience & unity of the NKRI is by linguistic approach. In this case, the frontier community on Batam island. The basic assumption is to analyze their language, then, characteristic of the speakers might be acquired. By understanding their language, enables a strategy to be carried-out properly in guiding & socializing bahasa Indonesia to encourage awareness of nationalism & patriotism. This research-based theory consists of at least three scientific-fields. First a theory which relates to linguistic (especially sociolinguistic). Secondly, sociological-anthropology (essentially cultural). Finally the third is science of communication (particularly dynamic-communicatiion).
