See Original the Kapuas River was a main transportation route and also a route for missionaries who brought education missions to the inland communities Whoever flies and intends to land in Pontianak City including the bends of the Kapuas River which is the longest river in Indonesia Seeing this sparks my curiosity about the river West Kalimantan is known as the "land of a thousand rivers" because it is crossed by many rivers Rivers as one of the sources of water should be grateful we will not only encounter problematic aspects but also diversity and the cultural richness of the archipelago the desire to explore rivers further only arose when I became a journalist rivers often become the scapegoat when floods occur I tried to explore the Kapuas River using a speedboat (fast boat) to make special coverage of the river The atmosphere of illegal gold mining in Kapuas River I witnessed abrasion on the banks of Kapuas River which caused the trees in the surrounding area to fall some riverbanks disappeared 10-20 meters towards the mainland I found this condition in several scattered locations along the 20 km riverbank This condition occurred due to unauthorized gold mining practices Machines used for mining were seen near the erosion site These machines were stored on rafts that were in the middle of the river at that time This condition is further exacerbated by the presence of plantations located right on the banks of the Kapuas River Such a view is not only visible in one location It is estimated that similar abrasion also occurs in many locations This is what eventually causes frequent flooding in Kalbar I covered the camera I used to record the condition of the river with a jacket I and the boat driver also brought fishing gear so as not to attract attention The sight of people fishing in the river is more common than people taking pictures and observing." I also witnessed the portrait of the damage to the Kapuas river up to its source I saw rafts where gold mining machines were located on the upper banks of the Kapuas Struggling Exoticism" which describes the damage to the river in 2019 This condition is reinforced by statements from several parties who have long observed the condition of the river The Kapuas River landscape that cuts through the city of Sintang in West Kalimantan on Wednesday (13/10/2021) the story of the river is not always about problems During my approximately nine years of service in West Kalimantan I also saw the river as a space for cultural expression of the community The river became a kind of cultural inspiration I accidentally witnessed the community preparing an event which was a tradition of bathing children in the river the river is considered to have the power to maintain life various cultural expressions to appreciate the river emerged As carried out by several families in Kampung Merimpit who held a ceremony of bathing babies in the river or the Ngemai Mani tradition in the Dayak Desa language on Tuesday (25/6/2019) The children who were bathed were 3-9 months old various cultural expressions to appreciate the river have emerged The gong was struck to accompany the parade from the house to Sungai Seliau The event was attended by parents and children children were not carried by their mothers but by other women who were considered lucky The woman must never divorce and her husband has not passed away she is considered to have a good life background so that the children she carries are hoped to be lucky like the person carrying them there is always some kind of spirit that cleanses These children have a long life ahead of them away from illnesses and curses of people," said Thomas Rayah (74) accompanied by sape' played by Siprianus Gunung (51) Coverage on the river also took me to Datah Diaan Village in Kapuas Hulu Regency where I met with the Dayak Kayaan community in 2019 I met with several residents and local elders and listened to their stories about their relationship with the river The civilization of the Dayak Kayaan society cannot be separated from the river and even served a strategic function for defense A song of poetry or telimaa' about rivers is one way of expressing appreciation for rivers that have sustained life invited me to board a boat towards the upstream of the river not far from the village Martha started to sing a local literary work The song contains a story about a river with all the riches in it I wrote about that experience for the daily Kompas entitled "A Song for the River" Culture of bathing children in the river is still practiced among the Dayak Desa community in Sintang District it marks the child's first interaction with the river "I have also explored the river culture in Suhaid District There are still people living on floating houses or lanting houses The stilt house was built on a raft made of meranti and tengkawang wooden logs which have a diameter of 80 centimeters to 1 meter and a length of 13 meters There are six wooden logs arranged to form the raft which is anchored to poles on the riverbank with ropes to prevent it from drifting away Wooden stilts were built on a raft to support the house The walls were made of zinc-coated boards to prevent wind penetration and decay The remaining stilt houses in Kapuas Hulu Regency are decreasing due to the opening up of land routes on Thursday (11/14/2019) The community living in stilt houses upholds the value of mutual cooperation it needs to be readjusted to its original position I also documented this journey in a writing titled "Lanting Lanting house is actually a "stage of diversity" because it serves as a showcase for the meetings of communities from various backgrounds there are logs that are 20 meters long with a diameter of 1-1.5 meters that serve as buoyancy so that the stilt house floats The terrace is also a place for trading basic necessities and household tools The Chinese residents living in the village are generally immigrants they did not own any land so their parents built stilt houses in Kapuas River "My father has been wandering from China since the age of 17 He then arrived here and built a stilt house and continued his trading business which has been passed down to my generation now," said Akiau The traditional Lanting house brings together communities from diverse backgrounds through trade and daily social interactions residents from various regions brought their agricultural produce to sell to traders at the Lanting house With the money earned from selling these products they were able to purchase daily necessities a glimpse of the river civilization along the Kapuas which I can capture and write about I feel fortunate to be able to hear directly from the actors of the civilization increased the number of its direct flights from Jakarta's Soekarno-Hatta International Airport to Supadio International Airport in Pontianak seeking to accommodate the growing traffic on the route "We want to meet the demand from our customers so we have decided to add another one to this route," president director of Lion Air Group Edward Sirait said in a statement Lion Air's first flight from Jakarta to Pontianak departs at 6.00 a.m The route also plays a significant role in the airlines' history Lion Air began its operations with a flight from Jakarta to Pontianak on a rented Boeing 737-200 aircraft Lion Air is Indonesia's largest budget airline which flies to more than 44 domestic and international destinations and has a fleet of 113 passenger jets The airline operates more than 627 flights a day Over the past 20 years, floods have displaced more Indonesians than any other disaster type, causing significant damage and disrupting local economies. The poor and vulnerable often bear the brunt of flood hazards and are affected disproportionately They tend to live in hazardous areas such as dense settlements situated below flood levels They also often have limited access to financial services and basic support to cope with the aftermath of flood events the Indonesian city of Bima is prone to fluvial flood hazards (from overflowing rivers and insufficient drainage capacity) and coastal flood hazards (from rising sea levels and storm surges) The city has experienced increased economic activity Housing settlements along risky river and coastal areas have expanded and have limited compliance with current building codes and flood risk mitigation standards (such as building above flood levels and use of flood resistant construction materials) Floods threaten to reverse years of socio-economic progress in one swift event. The effects could be especially devastating in poorer communities and neighborhoods and sanitation infrastructure is often less developed and communities and assets are more vulnerable.  Governments can take action to better protect and empower vulnerable households for instance through flood resilience investments in neighborhoods where risks are most acute and addressing socio-economic drivers of vulnerability (e.g 1 in 4 Indonesians live in high-risk flood zones In an earlier global high-resolution study we had estimated that 1.47 billion people live in high-risk flood zones 956 million of which live in East and South Asia 587 million flood exposed people were estimated to live in poverty (living on $5.50 per day or less) and 132 million people in extreme poverty ($1.90 or less) floods are likely to leave the most devastating long-term consequences on livelihoods Analytical tools can help us identify local risks and target actions 2 in 3 residents of Pontianak face acute flood risks while in Bima 28% of the population (13,000 people) and in Manado 18% are exposed to high flood risk (40,000 people) But which neighborhoods are most vulnerable poor people can be pushed into flood-prone areas by lower housing values and rents associated with the higher risk and poor-quality infrastructure This makes low-income neighborhoods particularly vulnerable to experiencing disproportionately severe and long-lasting flood impacts The analysis offers a rapid assessment of flood risk and poverty levels in all subdistricts of all three cities We identify four subdistricts where very high flood risk (over 20% of population exposed) coincides with poverty rates above the national average more than half of all residents are exposed – in Pontianak Timur it is 99% of all residents  Actions are needed in the face of mounting risks The national program intends to reduce the vulnerability of poor and vulnerable households living in flood-exposed areas of participating cities investing in demonstration projects across the country Thank you for choosing to be part of the East Asia & Pacific on the Rise community The latest blog posts and blog-related announcements will be delivered directly to your email inbox World Bank’s Global Facility for Disaster Reduction and Recovery (GFDRR) Senior Disaster Risk Management Specialist
