The learning model is very important in the teaching and learning process. The use of the proper model will arouse students’ enthusiasm and interest in learning. However, the learning model still has weaknesses that affect students’ cognitive development, hence it is necessary to develop the learning model. The purpose of this research is to develop a market place activity learning model by using a 4-D model consisting of define, design, development in social science subjects at SMP IT Syahruddiniyah Kampar Kiri Hilir. The respondents were 48 students from class VIIIa and VIIId. Based on data presentation and data analysis, the development of the model carried out is valid. The results value obtained from the aspect of model development 81%, the aspect of model effectiveness 98%, and the aspects of model efficiency 90%.

This paper presents the application of weather modification technology (WMT) for mitigation of peatlands fire in Riau Province, Indonesia. The application of WMT has been conducted to reduce the fire disaster risks which were very rare to be implemented in the world. The province of Riau which is about 56% covered with peatlands, is very vulnerable against haze disasters caused by peatlands fires. Peatlands are fragile ecosystems formed over thousands of years by the accumulation of dense wet plant material. When drained or cleared by fire for commercial plantations, such as for palm oil or pulpwood, the carbon is released into the atmosphere. In 2013-2015, Indonesia experienced its most serious fires in some years, worsened by dry weather caused by an El Nino phenomenon, and cloaked large stretches of Southeast Asia in choking smog for mounts. The history proved that the peatlands fires only can be stopped completely by rainfall. On the other hand, the peatland fires usually occur in the dry season that rainfall is very rare. The technology of artificial precipitation has an important role to solve this kind of natural disaster. The aim of this research is to study the impact of the application of the WMT on increasing precipitation for mitigation of peatlands fire in Riau Province. The analysis was focused on the Kepulauan Meranti and Siak Regency which are very severe peatland fire in 2014, 2015, and 2016. This research found that the application of weather modification technology could increase precipitation occurrence and significantly reduce peatland fire in Riau. The increasing rainfall value (PCH) in Kepulauan Meranti Regency was 1.019, 1.08, 0.68, and 1.649 during the four times WMT application from 2014 to 2016. However, the PCH value in Siak Regency during the four times WMT application in 2014 to 2016 was 1.127, 0.7, 0.66, and 1.88.

Poverty is phenomenal problem in the history of Indonesia as a nation-state. The poverty causes neglected and isolated areas where development disparity appears and affects the increasing lag of poor villages. One of the regencies in the Province of Riau felt this condition is Regency of Kepulauan Meranti. In most of the villages, there are 59 villages (80.82%), are disadvantaged areas. The total of the household is 45,564, and 56.76% of them (25,863 households) are poor which consists of 114,496 souls. Whereas this area has a strategic geographic location because it is in the line of shipping and international trade Selat Malaka, near to neighbor country Malaysia and Singapore, and has potential as hinterland area of free trade zone Batam, Bintan, and Karimun (FTZ-BBK). The purpose of this research is to arrange the strategic plan model of disadvantaged area development in the effort of accelerating rural economic development. The research conducted through a survey by using development research. The technique used for sampling is the purposive sampling method and the analysis method used for this research is the method of quantitative and qualitative descriptive. The research found that the strategy of rural area development in an effort to spur economic growth is a cross-sectoral approach in all fields. In addition, the research also found the model of decreasing the number of poor families by referring to four strategy principles of decreasing the number of poor families.

Improved Peatlands Potential for Agricultural Purposes to Support Sustainable Development in Bengkalis District, Riau Province

Abstracts: Bengkalis District in Riau Province, Indonesia, has potential peatlands covering 647,962.26 ha or 76.05% of its total land area. Peatlands not only have a function as direct life support, especially by providing area for agricultural purposes, but also ecological functions, such as flood and global climate control. Peatland areas will be arduous to restore if damaged. This condition certainly has negative impacts on the socio-economic aspects of the people living in the surrounding areas in particular. Sustaining the function of peatlands for the ecosystems essentially requires a detailed review of spatial feasibility and socio-economic impacts of peat swamp reclamation. Plants that have been cultivated on peatlands by the community are palm oil, rubber, coconut, coffee, and areca catechu (pinang). On wetlands, in particular, people do sago farming. One of the problems encountered in the utilization of peatlands is the low level of community participation in the development of peatland management policies. As a result, the implementation of these policies is still conflicting, prone to dispute and hard to do.

Desa Sepahat memiliki jumlah penduduk sekitar 1.634 jiwa yang terbagi kedalam 418 Kepala Keluarga. Sebagian besar masyarakat Desa Sepahat memenuhi kebutuhan ekonomi keluarga dengan bertumpu pada sektor perkebunan kelapa sawit dan karet serta sebagian kecil dari sektor perikanan. Luasnya perkebunan kelapa sawit masyarakat berbanding lurus dengan banyaknya limbah yang dihasilkan salah satunya pelepah kelapa sawit. Limbah ini sama sekali belum termanfaatkan oleh masyarakat sehingga membakar limbah menjadi satu-satunya cara dalam menanganinya. Tujuan dari kegiatan pengabdian ini adalah meningkatkan sumberdaya manusia (SDM) melalui pelatihan pemanfaatan limbah kelapa sawit (pelepah dan lidi) menjadi produk yang bernilai ekonomis. Mekanisme pelaksanaan kegiatan tersebut dengan cara melakukan pendampingan kepada masyarakat khususnya ibu PKK secara berkala dan dilanjutkan dengan memberikan pelatihan-pelatihan untuk memaksimalkan potensi yang ada di Desa Sepahat. Pelatihan tersebut juga diharapkan berdampak terhadap perubahan pendapatan peserta dan peningkatan perekonomian masyarakat di Desa Sepahat.Capaian hasil kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat di Desa Sepahat tahun pertama ini adalah keterampilan masyarakat Desa Sepahat yang pada awalnya tidak mengetahui cara membuat kerajinan tangan dari anyaman lidi kelapa sawit. Namun setelah program ini dilaksanakan, masyarakat Desa Sepahat mampu membuat anyaman lidi sawit dengan berbagai macam bentuk seperti piring, mangkok, tempat buah, dan lain sebagainya.Terbentuknyasatu kelompok pengrajin anyaman lidi sawit yang akan berfungsi sebagai wadah pengembangan produksi dan pemasaran anyaman lidi sawit di Desa Sepahat. Peningkatan kemampuan potensi masyarakat Desa Sepahat dalam hal manajemen pemasaran produk. Pemasaran hasil kerajinan anyaman lidi kelapa sawit melalui lapak PKK Desa Sepahat. Dampak dari pelatihan tersebut telah memberikan kontribusi pendapatan ibu-ibu PKK sekitar Rp 1.000.000-Rp1.500.000 per bulan.
