(1)(1) Development investment must refer to disaster risk reduction or mitigation so that buildings do not increase the vulnerability of residents. (2)(2) Therefore, strict supervision and law enforcement are needed for those who violate building standards. (3)(3) According to the Deputy for Systems and Strategy of BNPB (National Disaster Management Agency), Wisnu Widaja, on Thursday (1/8/2019) in Jakarta, disasters are not only a humanitarian issue, ... also development investment. (4)(4) Besides early warning systems, development investment becomes an important element in disaster risk reduction so that development can reduce vulnerability rather than increasing it.

(5)(5) Currently, 75 percent of basic industrial and connectivity infrastructure, including its supporting infrastructure, is built in disaster hazard zones. (6)(6) For example, Bitung City in North Sulawesi, which is being developed as a port, has a tsunami potential, but many parties are not yet aware of it. (7)(7) In addition, 497,576 schools in 34 provinces are located in disaster hazard areas so that more than 10 million students are at risk of being affected by disasters. (8)(8) Therefore, the structures of those school buildings must be strengthened.

(9)(9) To reduce disaster risk, a number of steps can be applied, including by understanding disaster threats: the risk must be managed through regulations before starting an investment. (10)(10) Another step is disaster simulation exercises.

(1)(1) At night, bats fly to hunt insects and other small animals. (2)(2) However, during the day, they barely move at all. (3)(3) Bats sleep all day hanging upside down in secluded places, such as cave roofs, the underside of bridges, or inside hollow trees. (4)(4) According to How Stuff Works, there are actually several reasons why bats sleep upside down.

(5)(5) Sleeping upside down is the ideal position for bats to help them fly. (6)(6) Unlike birds, these flying mammals cannot launch into the air directly from the ground. (7)(7) A bat's wings cannot lift its body. (8)(8) In addition, a bat's hind legs are very small and underdeveloped, so they cannot run to build up speed for takeoff. (9)(9) Instead, bats use their front claws to climb to a high place, then fly. (10)(10) By sleeping upside down in a high location, this helps bats be ready to fly whenever they need to leave the roost. (11)(11) Sleeping upside down is also the best way to hide from danger. (12)(12) When most predators are active, especially birds of prey, bats will gather together. (13)(13) This makes predators unable to reach them. (14)(14) Sleeping upside down and clustering together allows bats to disappear from the world until night comes.

(1)(1) Fisheries production in Indonesia is not yet optimal. (2)(2) For example, between 2003 and 2007, capture fisheries production increased by an average of only 1.32%, namely from 4,691,796 tons in 2003 to 4,942,430 tons in 2007. (3)(3) The highest increase was dominated by marine fishing, which was from 4,383,103 tons in 2003 to 4,647,730 tons in 2007. (4)(4) Conversely, public water fisheries production decreased from 308,693 tons in 2003 to 294,700 tons in 2007.

(5)(5) There are several things that cause the suboptimal or decreasing production in the fisheries sector in Indonesia. (6)(6) First, most of our fishermen are traditional fishermen who use traditional fishing technology so the results obtained are low. (7)(7) Second, the utilization of fish stocks between regions is not yet balanced because the Malacca Strait, the northern coast of Java, the Bali Strait, and the Sulawesi Strait experience overfishing, while the utilization of fish stocks in the eastern part of Indonesia is not yet optimal. (8)(8) Third, marine ecosystems, such as mangrove forests, coral reefs, and seagrass beds as habitats for fish and marine organisms where fish usually spawn, forage, and grow, have suffered severe damage.

(9)(9) Besides that, the productivity of aquaculture businesses is also not yet optimal. (10)(10) The knowledge of farmers and fishermen regarding aquaculture technology is still low, for example in the selection of broodstock, spawning, hatching, fertilization, larval rearing, nursery, and grow-out. (11)(11) There is also a lack of fisheries extension workers, so technological innovation is difficult to improve. (12)(12) Regarding land use, the clash between aquaculture businesses and other development activities (such as settlements, industry, and mining) often harms aquaculture businesses, including the deterioration of water quality. (13)(13) Industrial, agricultural, and household activities often dispose of waste into nature without paying attention to the threshold of wastewater quality standards, thereby worsening water quality for fish farming.
