Toba Regency is one of the leading of local and foreign tourists destinations in North Sumatra Province. Through good management by the government, the private sector, and the community, this potential can be optimized to improve community welfare. This study aims to measure and evaluate the level of satisfaction of the tourists with the quality of life in various fields of education, tourism, health, agriculture, socio-culture-art, and religion. This research uses a quantitative approach with a survey method. Data were collected through questionnaires distributed to 30 randomly selected respondents in the Toba region. The results show that improving the quality of education through curriculum development, increasing the capacity of teachers, and providing adequate facilities is very important. Community-based tourism development and infrastructure improvements can boost the local economy. In the health sector, improving access and quality of health services through community-based programs is necessary. Agricultural productivity can be improved through the application of modern technology and crop diversification. In addition, the preservation of local culture and arts as well as improved religious facilities and programs can strengthen social cohesion and the spiritual well-being of the community. This research is expected to provide a comprehensive picture of the quality of life of the Toba people and form the basis for formulating more effective policies to improve the quality of life of the community

Analisa Proyeksi Ketersediaan Debit Air Sungai Terhadap Kebutuhan Air Domestik Masyarakat Desa Matinan Kecamatan Gadung Kabupaten Buol

Haris — 2025-08-13

Tujuan − Air merupakan kebutuhan mendasar bagi manusia, baik untuk konsumsi maupun keperluan domestik lainnya. Ketersediaan air bersih yang cukup dan layak sangat penting untuk meningkatkan kualitas hidup masyarakat, khususnya di wilayah pedesaan. Air yang aman dan mudah diakses merupakan komponen penting dalam menjaga kesehatan masyarakat serta mendukung pertumbuhan ekonomi dan kesejahteraan sosial. Desa Matinan dan Desa Lripubogu yang berada di Kecamatan Gadung, Kabupaten Buol, merupakan wilayah yang masyarakatnya belum sepenuhnya memperoleh akses air bersih yang mencukupi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menentukan kapasitas debit air yang diperlukan guna memenuhi kebutuhan masyarakat serta memperkirakan kebutuhan air bersih hingga tahun 2035.

Metode − Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan perhitungan berdasarkan data hasil observasi lapangan. Tahapan analisis yang dilakukan meliputi pemilihan sumber air baku, pengukuran debit air (kuantitas), penentuan jumlah dan kepadatan penduduk, serta perhitungan proyeksi kebutuhan air bersih. Pengukuran debit dilakukan menggunakan metode pelampung, dan proyeksi jumlah penduduk dihitung dengan metode aritmatik.

Temuan − Debit air sungai di Desa Matinan dan Desa Lripubogu pada tahun 2024 adalah sebesar 7.115.040 liter/hari. Dengan jumlah penduduk sebanyak 2.567 jiwa, kebutuhan air bersih mencapai 179.670 liter/hari berdasarkan standar kebutuhan 70 liter/orang/hari. Artinya, kebutuhan air bersih tahun 2024 dapat terpenuhi. Berdasarkan proyeksi jumlah penduduk pada tahun 2035 sebesar 2.801 jiwa, kebutuhan air bersih diperkirakan sebesar 196.070 liter/hari, yang masih dapat ditopang oleh kapasitas debit air yang tersedia.

The flood disaster mitigation education program aims to enhance the community's understanding and preparedness in facing disaster risks, particularly floods, which frequently occur in Tanjung Selamat Sub-district, North Sumatra. This initiative is driven by the high vulnerability of the area to flooding and the importance of equipping the public with knowledge on self-rescue procedures before, during, and after a disaster. The method employed in this community service program was descriptive, involving public outreach, hands-on mitigation training, interactive discussions, and program evaluation. Activities included expert-led sessions, evacuation simulations using role-playing techniques, and the use of audiovisual media to reinforce participants' understanding. The results indicated improved knowledge, skills, and awareness among participants regarding flood mitigation. Community members from various age groups and social backgrounds actively participated and showed enthusiasm throughout the program. Additionally, flood mitigation tools such as life jackets and informational materials were distributed to support preparedness efforts. This initiative demonstrates that structured and participatory education can build responsive, resilient, and compassionate communities in the face of disaster. The flood disaster mitigation education is expected to serve as a model for empowering communities in disaster-prone areas.
