Chronologie

  • 00:00:00 - 00:05:00

    Pada awal Februari 2021, Badan Penanggulangan Bencana Regional Jawa Tengah menemui 43 peta banjir di Semarang akibat hujan ekstrem yang meningkat. Fenomena hujan ekstrem ini dipicu oleh pemanasan global yang disebabkan oleh kerusakan lingkungan dan penggunaan energi kotor, yang juga berpengaruh pada mencairnya es Antartika dan peningkatan permukaan laut di Indonesia.

  • 00:05:00 - 00:10:00

    Doly Harahap, seorang musisi, memulai proyek mengenai krisis iklim, berkolaborasi dengan Irene Barlian, seorang fotografer dokumenter. Mereka membagi perjalanan mereka di sepanjang pantai utara pulau Jawa, dengan tujuan melihat dampak krisis iklim dan berinteraksi dengan masyarakat di setiap kota yang mereka kunjungi.

  • 00:10:00 - 00:15:00

    Doly mengunjungi Luar Batang di Jakarta, kawasan yang kerap terjadi banjir. Dalam pertemuannya dengan kepala desa setempat, ia menemukan bahwa tanggul di kawasan tersebut telah dibangun berkali-kali untuk menahan limpahan air laut. Kesehatan komunitas lokal terancam, terutama dalam akses air bersih yang harus mereka beli setiap hari, menjadi beban bagi keluarga berpenghasilan rendah.

  • 00:15:00 - 00:20:00

    Sementara itu, Irene melakukan perjalanan ke Gresik, berkolaborasi dengan Ade Putri untuk menjelajahi area akuakultur. Mereka menemui para lokal dan belajar tentang tantangan yang dihadapi akibat peningkatan permukaan laut dan abrasi yang mengancam ekosistem dan mata pencaharian mereka.

  • 00:20:00 - 00:25:00

    Di Muara Baru, Doly menemui Pak Frenki, seorang mekanik perahu, yang menjelaskan bagaimana banjir telah mengubah karakter kawasan dan dampaknya terhadap kehidupan sehari-hari. Mereka menemukan bahwa daerah dataran rendah kini tenggelam, dengan tanah yang surut rata-rata 2,5 cm setiap tahun akibat peningkatan permukaan laut dan penurunan tanah.

  • 00:25:00 - 00:30:00

    Di Gresik, Doly dan Irene melihat bagaimana peningkatan gelombang merusak empang susu ikan, yang menjadi mata pencarian warga. Dampak abrasi dan kenaikan permukaan laut mengancam tradisi dan identitas sosial-ekonomi komunitas lokal yang berbeda.

  • 00:30:00 - 00:35:00

    Doly mengunjungi Semarang, di mana ia menemukan bahwa banjir rob sering melanda kawasan bersejarah. Dengan berbicara kepada penduduk setempat dan sejarawan, ia menyadari bahwa pembangunan kota banyak yang bertentangan dengan adaptasi terhadap banjir, berpotensi memperburuk situasi tersebut.

  • 00:35:00 - 00:40:00

    Bersama Panturas, Doly menceritakan kepada warga tentang bagaimana abrasi memengaruhi mata pencarian mereka di Tambak Rejo, di mana beberapa warga harus meninggikan rumah mereka agar tidak terendam banjir yang terus menerus meningkat.

  • 00:40:00 - 00:45:00

    Di Muara Gembong, Doly bersama Icil mengeksplorasi daerah yang telah kehilangan banyak lahan akibat abrasi. Mereka belajar tentang penataan ulang masyarakat dan upaya untuk menjaga keberlangsungan hidup di tengah ancaman yang semakin meningkat.

  • 00:45:00 - 00:50:00

    Dalam perjalanan berikutnya ke Pekalongan, Doly bertemu dengan Tyan, seorang pebisnis batik yang menghadapi tantangan banjir. Meskipun usahanya terus berjuang, gelombang pasang mengancam produksi batik yang penting bagi warisan budaya Indonesia.

  • 00:50:00 - 01:00:01

    Dengan bertemu dengan komunitas yang terlibat dalam budidaya mangrove, mereka menemukan bahwa meski bukan solusi utama, penanaman mangrove membantu mengurangi dampak abrasi dan bisa menjadi langkah kecil untuk mengatasi perubahan iklim. Akhir perjalanan Doly dan Irene, mereka merangkum pengalaman, tantangan, dan harapan masyarakat dalam menghadapi krisis iklim di sepanjang pantai utara Jawa.

    In early February 2021, Regional Disaster Management Agency of Central Java found 43 flood maps in Semarang.
  • 00:00:22
    Flood stroke after extreme rainfalls intensified in Semarang.
  • 00:00:34
    Extreme rain phenomenon is triggered by globally increasing Earth’s temperature.
  • 00:00:49
    Global warming is happening fast because of environmental damage and the use of dirty energy.
  • 00:01:09
    Global warming that affects Antartica’s ice melt, has impact on sea level rise in Indonesia.

    SINKING IN SILENCE
  • 00:01:51
    Hello...
  • 00:01:52
    Hello Dol
  • 00:01:54
    Hello Ren
  • 00:01:55
    How’re you doing?
  • 00:01:56
    I'm good. How about you?
  • 00:01:58
    I’m good... good.
  • 00:02:01
    What are you busy with now?
  • 00:02:03
    Nothing much, no gigs, nothing. What’s up?
  • 00:02:09
    I was thinking of doing a project on climate crisis.
  • 00:02:12
    Are you interested?
  • 00:02:14
    How exciting. What’s the plan?
  • 00:02:16
    I will be off from Surabaya
  • 00:02:19
    Where are you now?
  • 00:02:21
    I’m in Jakarta
  • 00:02:23
    Ooh, let’s meet in the middle (of Java) alright?
  • 00:02:24
    Let’s gooo.
  • 00:02:26
    Just keep me updated.
  • 00:02:28
    Okay, will do.
  • 00:02:32
    Bye.
  • 00:03:07
    Hi, I’m Doly Harahap.
  • 00:03:09
    People know me as the musician, but photography is my other passion.
  • 00:03:20
    Analog camera is my choice, because when I take a picture, I should choose a subject that tells.
  • 00:03:32
    Irene’s invitation, has challenged me, to start a trip.
  • 00:03:37
    We are dispersed to see the impact of climate crisis in java’s nothern coastal area.
  • 00:03:44
    And I’m starting from the west, Jakarta.
  • 00:03:55
    Mangare. Gresik, East Java
  • 00:04:15
    My name is irene barlian.
  • 00:04:16
    I am a documentary photographer based in Jakarta.
  • 00:04:21
    While doly started to trace down the west side of java
  • 00:04:24
    I’m starting my story from the east.
  • 00:04:28
    And Gresik will be the first regency to explore.
  • 00:04:42
    Tracing down the north coast of Java will be too bad to experience solo.
  • 00:04:49
    So, Doly and I were decided to befriended with different pals in every town we stopped off.
  • 00:05:12
    And in Gresik, I am with Ade Putri,
  • 00:05:15
    ...an indonesian culinary enthusiast.
  • 00:05:23
    We will explore aquaculture area, assets of this town.
  • 00:05:43
    In Jakarta, I am tracing down the north coast,
  • 00:05:47
    in Luar Batang, Penjaringan district to be precise.
  • 00:05:55
    And I do not expect,
  • 00:05:56
    ...that today the mainland elevation is below sea level.
  • 00:06:07
    This embankment is border between the sea and the settlement,
  • 00:06:12
    ...and a savior from seawater overflow.
  • 00:06:19
    Luar Batang and the surrounding area seems frequently flooding.
  • 00:06:24
    Foremost during monthly tidal wave,
  • 00:06:28
    ...with wave height that can surpass the embankment.
  • 00:06:37
    To prove it, I met a local who can explain what is going on.
  • 00:06:45
    Good afternoon ma’am, I’m Doly. I just passed by.
  • 00:06:50
    Are you the subdistrict head?
  • 00:06:51
    Yes, I am.
  • 00:06:53
    What is behind this wall?
  • 00:06:56
    The sea.
  • 00:06:57
    Directly adjacent to the sea?
  • 00:06:59
    Yes, it is.
  • 00:07:01
    So this wall must’ve been here long time?
  • 00:07:04
    Yes, it’s been here quite long, but it has been built gradually.
  • 00:07:08
    So it wasn’t this tall?
  • 00:07:10
    No, it wasn’t.
  • 00:07:11
    How many times has it been built up?
  • 00:07:12
    3 times.
  • 00:07:14
    So the inundation is caused by sea overflow, or leakage?
  • 00:07:19
    If the wall hasn’t been elevated, the water must be overflowed.
  • 00:07:24
    Now it’s only leaking a little. Does tidal flooding happen every week?
  • 00:07:29
    Does tidal flooding happen every week?
  • 00:07:38
    Tidal flooding usually happens once in a month, for a one full week.
  • 00:07:45
    Oh, that’s why i saw puddles. How to suck it out?
  • 00:07:51
    Subdistrict 2 has a pump.
  • 00:07:55
    This area is subdistrict 3.
  • 00:07:56
    When water is receding, the pump sucks the water back to the sea. And the water goes back into the middle of the sea.
  • 00:08:19
    What I am seeing before my eyes. tingles a question.
  • 00:08:22
    How the local community can get clean water for their daily use?
  • 00:08:37
    It turns out. most of the citizens of Luar Batang subdistrict and who domiciled in north Jakarta should buy clean water.
  • 00:08:44
    What does the water used for ma’am?
  • 00:08:49
    For bathing, washing.
  • 00:08:51
    Do you buy this everyday?
  • 00:08:53
    Every other day.
  • 00:08:56
    Do you live afar?
  • 00:08:59
    No, just around the neighborhood.
  • 00:09:04
    In a day. One family approximately needs 12 gallons of water.
  • 00:09:09
    Those are equal to twenty thousand rupiah.
  • 00:09:15
    Sum by month. One family needs to pay minimum of six hundred thousand rupiah.
  • 00:09:21
    If Penjaringan subdistrict is residented by lower-middle class citizens.
  • 00:09:25
    Where most of the citizens are blue-collar workers and small business owners
  • 00:09:31
    So clean water becomes high-cost supplies in the capital city.
  • 00:09:43
    While irene traveled with Ade Putri,
  • 00:09:45
    I invited Vira Talisa, a musician from Jakarta.
  • 00:10:00
    After we met up, we traced down Muara Baru harbour...
  • 00:10:03
    ...to see the condition in industrial sites.
  • 00:10:11
    My prediction was right, the condition there is nearly identical.
  • 00:10:23
    I thought the trip has over, now here is the challenge.
  • 00:10:28
    what’s that? Rocks...
  • 00:10:31
    Betta Fish!
  • 00:10:33
    They won’t survive here.
  • 00:10:40
    Wet met Pak Frengki.
  • 00:10:42
    He was a worker who has been making a living in the harbour for decades.
  • 00:10:54
    We tried find some information on how locals adapt and survive.
  • 00:11:00
    Hello, sir.
  • 00:11:01
    I’m vira.
  • 00:11:02
    I am Doly.
  • 00:11:06
    Mr. Frenky, do you work here?
  • 00:11:11
    Yes, I work as fishing boat mechanic.
  • 00:11:17
    I installed and fixed radio communication system on the boat.
  • 00:11:22
    Is this your office?
  • 00:11:25
    Yes, it is my office inside.
  • 00:11:29
    Is there a workshop?
  • 00:11:30
    Yes, there is.
  • 00:11:33
    The door used to be here,
  • 00:11:35
    ...but we moved it to the front since it was regularly flooding.
  • 00:11:45
    In 2000, the office ground was elevated,
  • 00:11:49
    ...so we moved (the door) to the front.
  • 00:11:52
    You just told us and pointed that the door was around here.
  • 00:11:56
    Where to be precise?
  • 00:11:58
    Oh, this was the former door. It made of iron.
  • 00:12:09
    But it is closed now.
  • 00:12:11
    The ground level should have been lower back then, has it?
  • 00:12:14
    Yes, it has been elevated around 1 and a half meter.
  • 00:12:38
    Flood issue in north coast of Jakarta is an old news.
  • 00:12:42
    Some area that used to be mainland, has changed and become part of the sea.
  • 00:12:56
    It is caused by sea level rise along with land subsidence.
  • 00:13:10
    According to indonesian institute of sciences that...
  • 00:13:13
    ...every year Jakarta coastal area is sinking by an everage of 2,5 cm a year.
  • 00:13:24
    At the end of this trip there is one more question left,
  • 00:13:28
    ...how long will the embankment be the answer in the capital city?
  • 00:13:33
    I can barely picture the condition of Jakarta in the future.
  • 00:13:58
    This aquaculture is in Mangare island.
  • 00:14:01
    This island is part of java island, merge with silt it bengawan solo river since 19th century.
  • 00:14:13
    Local community of Gresik has strong bond with milkfish.
  • 00:14:19
    The bonding story has been formed since sunan giri era,
  • 00:14:23
    ...sunan giri was one of wali songo (revered saints of islam) in mid 15th century.
  • 00:14:37
    There are around 32 thousand hectares of aquaculture in this area.
  • 00:14:42
    With 40 thousand tons of milkfish production.
  • 00:14:47
    Today the story of milkfish glory is fading,
  • 00:14:51
    ...alongside with the issue they are facing.
  • 00:14:59
    The size of these large fish pond is lessen day by day.
  • 00:15:03
    Wave that crushed the embankment made by the locals has caused disappearance of aquaculture.
  • 00:15:14
    Simultaneously with sea level rise that affect abrasion.
  • 00:15:33
    Our next steps took us to locals who worked in the aquaculture.
  • 00:15:37
    Mr. Ali and Mr. Nastain.
  • 00:15:39
    They are responsible for building up bamboo embankment with pile of mud.
  • 00:15:45
    Excuse me, sir.
  • 00:15:48
    So, if January came with extreeme wave,
  • 00:15:54
    ...will this embankment be gone?
  • 00:15:56
    Well if we didn’t make this, it will be gone.
  • 00:16:01
    That’s why we build this frequently.
  • 00:16:04
    Is it effective?
  • 00:16:07
    Just temporarily.
  • 00:16:11
    How long will it last?
  • 00:16:14
    A half year is the longest.
  • 00:16:21
    It it so bad here, tens of hectares have gone.
  • 00:16:30
    Where was the farthest?
  • 00:16:34
    There, in the middle (of the sea).
  • 00:17:02
    Then we were seeing how mangrove forest is vital to detain abrasion.
  • 00:17:12
    We went by the boat with a resident named Gatot Winarko.
  • 00:17:27
    He also told us, initially, this was milkfish aquaculture area.
  • 00:17:31
    But today, it is part of the sea.
  • 00:17:35
    Here, by this boat position, it used to be aquaculture area, up to 400 meters to the sea.
  • 00:17:43
    Now it is totally gone by abrasion.
  • 00:17:46
    The evidence that it is actually happening.
  • 00:17:53
    As you can see in front of us,
  • 00:17:59
    ...in 2016 mangroves were only 10 meters from our position.
  • 00:18:12
    Mangrove vegetation has clearly seen from here. Now it has declined 20 to 25 meters.
  • 00:18:17
    So every year coastline is declining 10-11 meters.
  • 00:18:27
    When the wave meets Madura strait stream.
  • 00:18:32
    The undersea movement is like excavator scraping inside.
  • 00:18:49
    Together with mr. Gatot, the tracing went on.
  • 00:18:52
    He explained that mangrove was their hope so the abrasion does not get worse.
  • 00:19:00
    We are at Bengawan Solo estuary where mangrove vegetation is thick alongside of it.
  • 00:19:10
    For your information, mangrove is a natural strainer to conserve the mainland.
  • 00:19:21
    Fishermens preserved mangrove to protect the aquaculture from tidal wave,
  • 00:19:30
    But only a particular mangrove species were planted.
  • 00:19:34
    Their species characters are distinctive. Especially the root.
  • 00:19:42
    Some roots, big ones, go down into the ground.
  • 00:19:47
    Some others are called aerial roots.
  • 00:19:52
    Its tiny roots come out to the surface.
  • 00:20:03
    Meanwhile, in the other side of aquaculture,
  • 00:20:05
    ...the locals were harvesting milkfish.
  • 00:20:08
    As we gathered information,
  • 00:20:10
    ...the locals had to harvest fish earlier than expected.
  • 00:20:15
    So that they don’t suffer more loss.
  • 00:20:18
    It has to be done over threatening Wave slam during rainy season.
  • 00:20:26
    If the embankment collapsed. Milkfish will escape to the high seas.
  • 00:20:37
    Coastal abrasion phenomenon in gresik threatens milkfish aquaculture, livelihood of the local community.
  • 00:20:43
    Not just losing their livelihood.
  • 00:20:48
    Coastal abrasion abolished special bond between local communities with milkfish...
  • 00:20:50
    ...as part of their long socio-historical identity.
  • 00:21:12
    Tambak Rejo - Semarang, Central Java
  • 00:21:32
    On the next trip, we went to Semarang old town that has aged gracefully.
  • 00:21:37
    Various dutch historical buildings have became tourist attractions in the town that has lasted for over 470 years.
  • 00:21:55
    Semarang old town is trying to solve the flood, that frequently blockade the area.
  • 00:22:02
    While filming the historical site, I was investigating whether the city development aligned with the adaptation plan.
  • 00:22:10
    Whether what has been done effective to solve the issue.
  • 00:22:20
    So I visited the neighborhood in the old town.
  • 00:22:27
    A resident told me that tidal flood (rob) has regularly inundate the neighborhood.
  • 00:22:31
    When rob came, all of this area will be drowned.
  • 00:22:42
    Rob and flood are the just the same.
  • 00:22:45
    But rob is seawater flood.
  • 00:22:47
    Yes it is.
  • 00:22:48
    But when rob came with rain, it is just doubled the risk.
  • 00:23:04
    Flood that the locals have been facing is not over yet.
  • 00:23:10
    I am inquistive,
  • 00:23:12
    ...why does it so difficut for Semarang to overome the problem that has been happening for a long time.
  • 00:23:22
    Seeking for answers, I met Mr. Rukardi Achmadi.
  • 00:23:27
    A historian who would tell me about the city that has been established since the 19th century.
  • 00:23:33
    The solution was quite working at that time.
  • 00:23:38
    However, the city is developing, population is increasing.
  • 00:23:46
    What was once a a swamp became residential.
  • 00:23:55
    It againts nature. That should have been water reservoir.
  • 00:23:58
    Rob is indeed a natural phenomena.
  • 00:24:03
    If human didn’t intrude, seawater that sweeps mainland will be absorbed by the coastal vegetatation.
  • 00:24:17
    Since the vegetation is destructed, water reservoir became residentials, tidal flood is happening more.
  • 00:24:28
    Year by year, not only the decline of shoreline but land subsidence is also happening in Semarang.
  • 00:24:41
    From that discussion I can see the big picure.
  • 00:24:43
    That flooding is a major issue that is inseparable.
  • 00:24:47
    Ever since the colonialization to indonesia independence days.
  • 00:25:12
    On the next day, I met the panturas,

    ...indie musician from Bandung.
  • 00:25:28
    We came to Tambak Rejo,
  • 00:25:30
    ...that is widely known as fishermen village in Semarang.
  • 00:25:43
    Under the bridge, I told him about our trip in Gresik.
  • 00:25:48
    How abrasion has threatened coastal community’s livelihood.
  • 00:25:53
    I tell stories with pictures.
  • 00:25:55
    Story about how climate change is real and it is happening in Indonesia.
  • 00:26:01
    Climate crisis is not only happening in some cities, but in numerous regions along the northern coast of java.
  • 00:26:10
    By the conversation I had with the locals, besides Gresik, there is also accurance of abrasion in Tambak Rejo.
  • 00:26:19
    After sharing stories with local people. Now it is time for the panturas to perform in front of pantura citizens.
  • 00:26:46
    By stories shared by the locals, we were inquistive to witness the real situation in the field.
  • 00:26:53
    And all the stories they told me are facts.
  • 00:26:57
    Tidal flood has hit the residential areas for the last 10 years.
  • 00:27:03
    We visited house of Mr. Suryono, one of the resident.
  • 00:27:09
    To see the condition of his house and listen to his story,
  • 00:27:12
    ...about how he survived in the land that is sinking day by day.
  • 00:27:17
    Asalamu alaikum.
  • 00:27:18
    Wa alaikum salam.
  • 00:27:20
    Do you mind if I come inside?
  • 00:27:21
    Come on in.
  • 00:27:23
    It used to be 4 meters tall, now it’s only 1,5 meter left.
  • 00:27:30
    Did you elevate the floor gradually?
  • 00:27:38
    Yes. First, I elevated the bedroom so that I can sleep,
  • 00:27:48
    ...then the other bedroom, next is the kitchen.
  • 00:27:55
    How about the floor height? Has it always been this low, or even lower?
  • 00:28:04
    It was lower, then elevated little by little if I had money.
  • 00:28:12
    Can I come inside?
  • 00:28:14
    Sure... Watch your head.
  • 00:28:30
    Apparently, to survive in the neighborhood, Mr. Suryono had to elevate his house.
  • 00:28:39
    He had it elevated for at least 3 times in the last 10 years.
  • 00:28:44
    It was hard for him to leave this inherited propery from his parents.
  • 00:28:48
    Moreover he was born, grew up here and made a living for his wife and the two kids.
  • 00:29:27
    On the next day, I went to a location that has direct access with the Java sea.
  • 00:29:33
    Unfortunately, The Panturas cannot join me since they need to back to Bandung.
  • 00:29:45
    Here I was, in Tambak Rejo public cemetary.
  • 00:29:51
    It needed a perfect timing to reach this place.
  • 00:29:55
    When the tide was low.
  • 00:30:02
    I can’t imagine,what if the resident wanted to visit relative who is burned here.
  • 00:30:18
    Coincidentally I met a local named Joko Mulyono.
  • 00:30:23
    He told me about his relatives who were burned in this area.
  • 00:30:27
    Whose graves are these?
  • 00:30:29
    This is my grandmother’s, Mrs. Duneki.
  • 00:30:38
    That one is my Mrs. Sri. Mother of my father.
  • 00:30:43
    One from mother’s side, the other one is from your father’s side?
  • 00:30:44
    Yes.
  • 00:30:49
    The grave there has been moved since it was sinking.
  • 00:30:53
    The children were sad seeing it sinking, so the skulls have been transfered to Karang Roto.
  • 00:31:01
    The other one is still there. I will show you if it is seen.
  • 00:31:07
    You can see the headstone still.
  • 00:31:09
    Will you move the grave?
  • 00:31:11
    Well, if we can.
  • 00:31:14
    Since the situation is a bit hard, we need to let it go.
  • 00:31:30
    For people in Tambak Rejo, it is not easy to leave their hometown.
  • 00:31:36
    A place where they live and grow up, and also make a living for the their family.
  • 00:31:42
    They keep on trying to find a way, to survive the abrasion threat until the end.
  • 00:32:12
    Muara Gembong - Bekasi Regency
  • 00:32:45
    Hello, cil. Where are you?
  • 00:32:49
    Oh you’ve been waiting?
  • 00:32:52
    Ok. I’m coming over. Ok....
  • 00:33:00
    On the next trip, we traced down Kampung Beting, Muara Gembong, in West Bekasi, West java.
  • 00:33:09
    I was accompanied by Aseriska, or Icil.
  • 00:33:13
    Hey.
  • 00:33:14
    Heeey.
  • 00:33:15
    Shall we go there?
  • 00:33:16
    Let’s go.
  • 00:33:19
    It is so fun that she would bluntly express her thought on something spontaneously.
  • 00:33:29
    By the locals , we got information that tide will come at certain time.
  • 00:33:36
    And that information is what made us visit this village.
  • 00:33:45
    Mas Doly, I want to ask you.
  • 00:33:48
    You usually post pictures, most of the them are gigs, the musicians...
  • 00:33:56
    I was surprised that you were here.
  • 00:33:59
    Why? What are your concern? You used analog, didn’t you?
  • 00:34:06
    Well, I capture anything actually.
  • 00:34:10
    I learn so much through photography.
  • 00:34:16
    I learn to raise awareness on the environment. Just like this.
  • 00:34:21
    It is just so ironic that school is also sinking.
  • 00:34:31
    When I make a complete series of documentary photography, there might be a story to tell by seeing my pictures.
  • 00:34:47
    In my experience, there are so much of humanity that can be captured on camera.
  • 00:34:58
    On the other side, I was wondering,
  • 00:35:01
    ...why Kampung Beting residents who are mostly fishermen, still linger in this kind of situation.
  • 00:35:10
    In the past, occording to the elders, these were forest.
  • 00:35:20
    Forest that were converted into farmlands by our ancestors from Tangerang.
  • 00:35:28
    In the begining, the conversion started with removing Citarum to be residential and farmlands.
  • 00:35:40
    This place was crowded back then.
  • 00:35:42
    They even called it dollar village for its fortune.
  • 00:35:50
    There was also a market in here.
  • 00:35:52
    Until oil exploration and the bombing came...
  • 00:35:55
    The densely populated area is over there. It used to be here.
  • 00:36:06
    Thereof, the oldest mosque stood here.
  • 00:36:11
    But as the time passes by, people moved there as a consequence of human intervention.
  • 00:36:36
    Kampung Beting has lost 1,7 hectares of coastal area to abrasion since 12 years ago.
  • 00:36:44
    The more fortunate people move into any other area and left their house with no hassle.
  • 00:36:50
    While for less fortunate ones, it was a hard choice.
  • 00:37:09
    On the next trip, we met Mr. Kurtubi, the village secretary of Pantai Bahagia (Happy Beach),
  • 00:37:16
    ...he happened to be visiting Kampung Beting.
  • 00:37:19
    We discussed about how the government responds to this issue.
  • 00:37:27
    The local authority as representation government of Indonesia,
  • 00:37:30
    ...together with the community has risen more awareness on mangrove cultivation as the front barrier...
  • 00:37:46
    ...to prevent coastal abrasion.
  • 00:37:56
    Mas Doly, please teach me how to use analog camera....
  • 00:37:59
    Sure. On condition, you write a song about the picture.
  • 00:38:06
    Write a song?
  • 00:38:08
    Challenging, isn’t it?
  • 00:38:11
    Hmm interesting. Sure!
  • 00:38:15
    Place your left hand here,
  • 00:38:20
    ...hold the camera, shutter is on the right side, control using your index finger.
  • 00:38:28
    Find the focus first.
  • 00:38:30
    Wow it’s heavy.
  • 00:38:31
    2 kgs.
  • 00:38:33
    Yes.. It’s upside down (the view).
  • 00:38:44
    Get into action, be happy in flood. Astaghfirullahal adziim.
  • 00:38:56
    Sinking, not surrendering.
  • 00:39:00
    Local community preserved mangrove to restrain abrasion.
  • 00:39:08
    Besides, Kampung Beting residents processed mangrove to live.
  • 00:39:18
    Women in this village, processed mangrove into food,
  • 00:39:23
    ...that the food product is for sale in other region.
  • 00:39:27
    What kind of product do you make?
  • 00:39:29
    These products are especially from mangrove fruit.
  • 00:39:33
    How do you make use of mangrove fruit?
  • 00:39:35
    From mangrove species, Sonneratia, I made a syrup, dodol (sweet toffee).
  • 00:39:43
    For crispy snacks, there are mangrove sticks, crackers, even chocolate.
  • 00:39:49
    They are considered as local cuisine then?
  • 00:39:52
    Yes, since it is the only tree that grows fruit here.
  • 00:40:10
    My trip to Muara Gembong was memorable.
  • 00:40:14
    The village that used to be crowded. Once inhabited by more than 100 families, now its only a half left.
  • 00:40:25
    It is ironic and amazing at the same time,
  • 00:40:27
    ...seeing how they survived in this area.
  • 00:40:32
    Cil, I saw you writing. Is the song finished?
  • 00:40:37
    Yes.
  • 00:40:38
    Come on, sing!
  • 00:40:39
    Would you like to listen?
  • 00:40:44
    Di balik senyum cerah yang terlihat...
  • 00:40:51
    ...ada jiwa lelah yang berharap.
  • 00:40:57
    Menanti belas kasih ibu pertiwi,
  • 00:41:04
    ...memberi celah mempertahankan rumah kami.
  • 00:41:15
    Thank you.
  • 00:41:18
    Will you continue the rest of the song?
  • 00:41:20
    Maybe....
  • 00:41:29
    Pekalongan - Central Java
  • 00:41:35
    After visiting Muara Gembong, I arrived in Pekalongan, central Java.
  • 00:41:42
    My meeting point with Irene.
  • 00:41:51
    However, before that, it is time for me to meet my good friend, Oscar Lolang.
  • 00:42:03
    Ocsar is a singer, who is also a social activist.
  • 00:42:08
    It is seen from his lyrics that carried this message on the issue.
  • 00:42:20
    Now I invited him to explore Pekalongan.
  • 00:42:25
    I have a friend here. His name is Tyan.
  • 00:42:28
    We will visit him and also show you pictures that I took in Muara Maru, Muara Gembong, so you can see it yourself.
  • 00:42:37
    We will tell him about land subsidence in Muara Baru and Muara Gembong, then what about here in Pekalongan?
  • 00:42:45
    Let’s go to Mas Tyan’s and get some coffee.
  • 00:43:02
    Pekalongan, Central Java
  • 00:43:13
    Eventhough Doly and I are in the same town, we traced down different areas.
  • 00:43:24
    I wanted to hear more stories about batik that is stated by Unesco as intangible world heritage.
  • 00:43:51
    I met Citra Subyakto in the city, she is a designer focusing on sustainable or circular fashion.
  • 00:44:02
    Though Pekalongan have had glorious erea on batik,
  • 00:44:05
    ...it does not mean that the people are not facing problems.
  • 00:44:11
    Again and again, tidal flood is a threat for coastal community in nothern coast of Java.
  • 00:44:27
    In this town, I met mugi raharjo, a batik businessman whose shop is threatened by tidal flood.
  • 00:44:35
    Tidal flood even swamps his workshop and intrudes batik production every year.
  • 00:44:42
    Did the last tidal flood swamp inside?
  • 00:44:47
    Yes, it did. The ground used to be lower than this.
  • 00:44:53
    We had elevated the floor. Oh, it’s been elevated....
  • 00:44:57
    20 cm height.
  • 00:45:09
    A year after, initially it was this high, this high in the next year,
  • 00:45:16
    ...and last year was the highest water level.
  • 00:45:22
    So your house is safe from flooding now?
  • 00:45:26
    Yes, for now. We don’t know about next year.
  • 00:45:31
    Every year the water level seems to get higher.
  • 00:45:33
    We are not sure when it stops.
  • 00:45:37
    It is shocking considering the fact that his batik wokshop was 4 kilometers away from the shoreline.
  • 00:45:46
    Does tidal flood affect batik production?
  • 00:45:49
    Indeed, workers cannot work properly when its flooding.
  • 00:45:52
    It better now, since the floor has been elevated even though there were still some puddles.
  • 00:46:00
    Does it affect the quality of batik too?
  • 00:46:03
    Batik quality depends on the weather, ma’am.
  • 00:46:05
    We used particular materials that need hot, dry weather.
  • 00:46:14
    If the air is moist.... Colour absorption may be differ.
  • 00:46:20
    It affect the solidity of colour too.
  • 00:46:36
    Hey
  • 00:46:37
    Mas Tyan, it’s Doly. Remember me?
  • 00:46:42
    Long time no see!
  • 00:46:44
    It’s been two years isn’t it.
  • 00:46:46
    Asalamu alaikum.
  • 00:46:47
    Wa alaikum salam.
  • 00:46:48
    I am with a friend.
  • 00:46:50
    Tyan....
  • 00:46:51
    Oscar....
  • 00:46:52
    Please have a seat. Where have you been?
  • 00:46:53
    I was strolling around the city.
  • 00:46:56
    Aren’t you tired?
  • 00:46:57
    Pretty much.
  • 00:46:58
    Coffee time.
  • 00:47:01
    Ice milk coffee for me.
  • 00:47:02
    Do you have chocolate?
  • 00:47:03
    Alright.
  • 00:47:08
    What are you up to in Pekalongan, dol?
  • 00:47:11
    I was wandering around Pekalongan with oscar.
  • 00:47:17
    Before, I took pictures in muara baru, north Jakarta.
  • 00:47:30
    Then I knew that sea level rise has caused land subsidence.
  • 00:47:37
    Doly, u’ve promised to let me see some pictures.
  • 00:47:41
    Oh, right. I have printed some pictures that I took back then.
  • 00:47:49
    Not all of it, but take a look.
  • 00:47:52
    This is the problem that northern coastal areas facing, right?.
  • 00:47:54
    Yes, it is. Well I was with oscar, and I wanted to catch up with you. So I stopped by.
  • 00:48:27
    I’ve been telling you that the disaster has broad impact.
  • 00:48:37
    I think it is not merely the duty of our government.
  • 00:48:42
    People in the community must have awareness of this matter too.
  • 00:49:03
    Tidal flooding has caused people’s houses around his batik factory drowning.
  • 00:49:21
    Today, tidal inundation has stroke half of the paddy fields area to residential,
  • 00:49:33
    I walked down the neighborhood and saw it myself how the tidal inundation is getting serious.
  • 00:50:16
    The more fortunate residents tried to dug a moat with cement, sand, and rocks.
  • 00:50:20
    For some of them the choice is to just leave their house.
  • 00:50:25
    But the less fortunate ones had no choice, they must stay in houses with seawater puddling inside.
  • 00:50:34
    Has it been 10 years?
  • 00:50:36
    Yes this has been happening for 10 years more or less.
  • 00:50:40
    The flooding begun in 2009 and the worst was in 2014, up until now.
  • 00:50:49
    How many years since this room hasn’t been occupied?
  • 00:50:53
    You can see there are plenty of stuff left unschated.
  • 00:51:00
    The deepest was this high.
  • 00:51:08
    Now ithas floor under if there aren’t it would be even deeper...
  • 00:51:33
    The time I spent with Chitra at Pekalongan really adds to my discovery, about what happened to the northern coast of Java.
  • 00:51:51
    In Pekalongan, not only the community is at stake,
  • 00:51:54
    ...but also sustainability of batik that is this nation’s identity and culture.
  • 00:52:00
    Including the people who depend their lives on small scale batik manufacturing.
  • 00:52:36
    To prove what Tyan said, Oscar and me visiting the northern Pekalongan. The mangrove eco park to be precise.
  • 00:52:45
    We are about to meet with Mr. Wah, who has been managing the area by planting mangroves for decades.
  • 00:52:52
    At first he did that, because he was afraid to be hit by tsunami like what happened to Aceh back in 2004.
  • 00:53:00
    But today, the mangrove trees that he planted are playing an important role in restraining abrasion...
  • 00:53:05
    ...caused by sea sea level rise.
  • 00:53:08
    It comes with a fact that Pekalongan is facing abrasion up to 50 meters from the coastline.
  • 00:53:16
    How long has it been since you’re taking care of the mangroves?
  • 00:53:22
    I began tending the mangroves since the end of 2004 and planting them in 2005.
  • 00:53:31
    Was it only you in the process or you have any other people helping you?
  • 00:53:35
    Since what happened in Aceh I initiated the mangrove planting.
  • 00:53:47
    2 months after that the mangroves team came to help developing the site.
  • 00:54:05
    With oscar and Mr. Wah, we go to the northern mangrove planting site.
  • 00:54:23
    Coincidentally, there is a group of young environmentalist who are busy planting mangroves.
  • 00:54:33
    Mr. Wah deliberately allows everyone who cares about the environment to help him planting mangroves.
  • 00:54:40
    Eventhough, mangroves are not the main solution for the climate crisis.
  • 00:54:46
    But this is the only way they are able to do when it comes to restrain the abrasion,
  • 00:54:50
    ...also as a small action to decrease global warming
  • 00:55:58
    And the most awaited moment arrives.
  • 00:56:01
    I met Irene in Pekalongan city.
  • 00:56:15
    Then we shared our stories through our photographs.
  • 00:56:20
    From muara baru Jakarta, Muara Gembong Bekasi, to Pekalongan city.
  • 00:56:46
    From our journey tracing down the north java coastline,
  • 00:56:49
    ...the rising seawater from icebergs phenomenon holds a lot of unsolved problems.
  • 00:56:55
    What we saw, was only a speck of dust from the climate change humongous problem.
  • 00:57:01
    But what we know is, climate change is already happening and its affecting people.
  • 00:57:07
    Each d ay the coastal area sunk deeper from abrasion.
  • 00:57:13
    And Indonesia, this archipelago country is now facing serious threat, until the next 50 years.
