The Environmental and Social Impacts of Industrialization: Lesson From Central Java

In many developing countries, industrialization is considered as the best way to achieve the economic progress. The general pattern of long-term development of Indonesia's fifth five year development plan is expected to bring about fundamental changes in the economic structure from agriculture to industrialization. A policy of encouraging industrialization is considered as a means of stimulating the national rate of economic growth, providing employment opportunities and raising the general standard of living of the poor. To support this policy, each municipal government is encouraged to build industrial zones intended to attract and facilities foreign and domestic investors. This research is to identify the environmental and social impacts of industrialization by using two different places of industrial zone as case studies. The impacts studied include environments, socio-economic and socio-cultural. Industrialization as a strategy for economic development has been successful in terms of its contribution to improve Gross Domestic Product (GDP). The industrial sector could create employment opportunities to a particular segment of the population: young, single females. Industrial activities do not create much value added for local people. In fact, local people are adversely affected, threatened by job loss and decrease of daily income. The environment consequences emerged include floods, lack of clean water, water pollution, air pollution, odour, dust, and noise. The indication of social impact is weakening community ties. The household associations in impacted villages are likely to conduct regular meeting as was previously was the habit.

The Problems of Coastal and Marine Resources Management in Indonesia

It is a well known fact that parts of the coastal marine ecosystem, such as estuaries, mangrove, sea-weed beds, and coral reefs, are very productive . The primary production may go up to 10,000 g C/m2{vear in these systems. It t`s very high compared with the primary production in open seas that is only 50-100 g C/m2/year. As a result the rate of the secondary production, such as fish, and other marine faunas, which live in these system, are also high. Anthropogenic activities carried out in order to use the resources in coastal areas, such as destructive fishing practices, coral mining, mangrove cutting, may ayiectfish Hncluding other marine faunas) production. Considering the destructive nature of some human activities in the coastal areas, the Indonesian government has established several laws and regulations for marine environmental protection. These included the establishment of 37 marine conservation areas which cover an area of about 2,800,000 Ha. It is expected that these areas will be expanded to 30,000,000 Ha by the year 2000, but there is no assurance whether this expansion can be reached or not. In the meantime a strategt to [ind alternatives to destructive practices in coastal and marine ecosystems is being prepared.

Deterioration Quality Observations of Milk Fish (Chanos Chanos Forsk) and Short-bodied Mackerel (Rastrelliger Neglectus) at Various Storage Temperatures Using Freshness Testing Paper (Ftp III)

Freshness of fish is crucial in determining the nutritional value and sale value of fishery products.Assessment of fish freshness can be done with various methods based on several principles of chemistry,physics, microbiology, and organoleptic. K value is one of freshness test based on ATP degradation.Analysis of K values can be done with Freshness Testing Paper (FTP III). This method is relativelypractical, easy, fast and the results can be accountable. The material that used in this study are fish milk fish(Chanos chanos Forsk) and short-bodied mackerel (Rastrelliger neglectus) with total 90 fish with anaverage weight of 99 grams / fish (milk fish) and 85 g / fish (short-bodied mackerel). The fish raw materialpurchased from Rejomulyo fish market (Semarang) and taken to the laboratory in a Styrofoam box that wasgiven ice on the inside. This research used an experimental method called descriptive exploration. Storageof samples was handled at different temperatures namely 30oC ± 2oC, 15oC ± 2oC and 1oC ± 0oC. Theobserved parameters include organoleptic test and analysis of K Value (FTP III). The results showed that Kvalues for all samples increased during storage at different temperatures. The highest K values of milk fishand short-bodied mackerel fish during storage at a temperature of 0°C was on 96-hours storage time. Thehighest K values of milk fish and short-bodied mackerel fish during storage at a temperature of 15 ° C wason 72-hours storage time. Whereas the highest K values in milk fish and short-bodied mackerel fish duringstorage at 30°C temperatures, was on the 24-hours storage time. The fastest increase in K value was observed at a temperature of 30°C compared to storage at a temperature of 15°C and 0°C for all the fish samples. This means that the deterioration quality of fish will be faster at high temperatures. K values of mackerel increased more rapidly than milk fish.
