Depok, June 25, 2025 \u2014 Indonesia\u2019s fisheries resources play a crucial role in food security, income generation, and livelihoods, as well as being an affordable source of animal protein for poor rural communities. This was conveyed by Prof. Dr. Dewi Susiloningtyas, S.Si., M.Si., during her inauguration as a Full Professor in the Field of Human Geography, Environment, and Coastal and Marine Natural Resource Management at the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences (FMIPA), Universitas Indonesia (UI). The ceremony was led by the Rector of UI, Prof. Dr. Ir. Heri Hermansyah, S.T., M.Eng., IPU, on Wednesday (25\/6), at the UI Convention Hall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In general, Prof. Tyas discussed the vast potential of Indonesia\u2019s marine resources along its coastline, which stretches approximately 99,093 km. If these marine resources are overexploited, it could negatively impact food security and the livelihoods of millions of people in related sectors. Therefore, the concept of human geography is essential for managing space and society, as well as examining the interaction between place and space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The role of humans as agents of environmental change can help explain the impact of human activities on the Earth's surface, including how coastal and marine areas affect human activity. According to her, there needs to be intervention in the form of regulations that govern both social and ecological systems.social ecology system<\/em>) so that there is no excessive use or over fishing<\/em> which damages the environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cSpatial connectivity in social ecology system<\/em> consists of physical, biological, and geographic units associated with social actors and institutions. The structure or attributes in a social system are values, behavior, level of knowledge, technology, and number of individuals or communities. Meanwhile, the ecological system is all natural resources from ecosystem services utilized by humans. The interaction of these two systems requires regulation so that excessive utilization does not occur,\" said Prof. Tyas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To strengthen the social ecological system, the concept of Agent Based Modeling or ABM is needed (Agent Base Model<\/em>) developed within the framework of coastal and marine resource management. ABM is a computational model for simulating the interaction actions between autonomous agents used as a complex community modeling analysis, such as in coastal communities whose livelihoods are influenced by social, economic, and environmental factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Prof. Tyas applies the concept of socio-ecology in her implementation of the Tri Dharma of Higher Education through research related to nature and coastal community life. Some of these include the development of sustainable coastal and marine tourism, as well as the development of seaweed cultivation on Tarakan Island, North Kalimantan. From this research, using a spatial connectivity approach, studies on the dynamics and changes in resource access or direct environmental pressures can be mapped and predicted through modeling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe implications of socio-ecological connectivity in shaping sustainability can be guided by policy priorities and help determine the responsibilities of the actors involved. The study results can serve as a basis for decision-making in area management that is data-driven and adaptive to ongoing dynamics. The utilization of coastal and marine resources will affect the sustainability of these resources, due to the vulnerability to ecological degradation in these areas,\u201d critical area<\/em> yang merupakan habitat dari sebagian besar sumber daya, yang menjadi ketergantungan kehidupan masyarakat pesisir,\u201d kata Prof. Tyas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Prof. Tyas's research on spatial connectivity as a strategy for sustaining the livelihoods of coastal communities in Indonesia led to her becoming the 32nd professor inaugurated this year, out of a total of 473 professors at Universitas Indonesia. Before being appointed as a professor, Prof. Tyas completed her undergraduate studies in Regional Development Planning at the Faculty of Geography, Universitas Gadjah Mada (1994), earned a Master\u2019s degree in Environmental Science (1998), and completed her doctoral degree in Coastal and Marine Resource Management at the Faculty of Fisheries and Marine Sciences, IPB University, in 2014.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In 2024, he conducted several other studies, including The Influence of Traditional Bottom Set Gill Net Dimension with The Daily Catches of Rastrelliger Faughni at The Karangantu Archipelago Fisheries Port, Banten Province, Indonesia<\/em>; Spatial Dynamics Model of Built-up Area Growth and Mean Sea Level Ris Projection. Casee Study: Bandar Lampung City, Indonesia<\/em>; dan Spatial Analysis of Landuse and Land Utilization Based on Suitability Spatial Planning on Food Estate Planning Site in Kapuas Regency, Central Kalimantan<\/em>. The inauguration ceremony of Professor Prof. Tyas was also attended by invited guests, including Deputy for Systems and Strategy of the National Disaster Management Agency, Dr. Raditya Jati, S.Si., M.Si.; EVP of Information Systems of PT Kereta Api Indonesia (Persero), Albertus Indarko Wiyogo, MT, CISA, CISSP; Director of Institutions and Geospatial Information Networks, Geospatial Information Agency, Rachman Rifai, S.Si, M.Si, M.Sc.; Expert Staff of the Minister of ATR\/BPN, Aishah Gray; and Director of Korean Bank, Mr. Dodi Widjayanto, S.E., M.M.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Depok, 25 Juni 2025.
