BRIN Working Visit to BAPPEDA East Kalimantan
Samarinda, Wednesday 23/8/2023. BAPPEDA East Kalimantan Province received a working visit from the Research Team from the National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN) consisting of two people, including: 1). Haries Satyawardhana, M.Si; 2). Risyanto, M.Sc was received directly by Sukandar, S.Sos (General Government and Regional Autonomy Analyst) together with Dwi Ery. Mujahiddin, S.Hut (Strategic Planning Analyst), Deni Rahmadi, S.Kom and Rio Pratama.
The aim and objectives of the working visit are in the context of implementing the 2023 Research Program for the House of Disaster Program (ORKM) with the title "Drought Disaster Risk Index and Projections in Kalimantan to Support the National Capital City (IKN)". Based on the official letter from BRIN, those assigned to BAPPEDA East Kalimantan Province were two researchers, namely Mr. Haries Satyawardhana, M.Si and Mr. Risyanto, MSc. Meanwhile, eight (8) people assigned to the East Kalimantan Provincial Government are distributed to certain SKPDs as follows: Team leader Dr. Erma Yulihastin, M.SI (PRIMA) with 1 member). Haries Satyawardhana, M.Si (PRIMA); 2). Lely Qodrita Avia, S.Si (PRIMA); 3). Parwati Sofyan, PhD (PRPJ); 4). Robi Muharsyah, M.Si (BMKG); 5). Dr. Akhmad Yani, MA (UNTAN); 6).

Based on the presentation of interim research results from the BRIN Research Team and discussions, several important points emerged, including:
1. The research locations include Central Kalimantan Province, South Kalimantan Province and East Kalimantan Province which are projected to be drier until 2050 (Latifah et al., 2023).
2. The background to this research study includes: 1). Previous studies show that total annual rainfall has decreased over the last two decades (Ramadhan et al., 2022); 2). Other studies also show projections of dry days without rain increasing in the future (2020–2050) in the IKN area (Nurlatifah et al., 2023) and 3). This increases the long-term potential for an increase in drought disasters which will have an impact on reducing water resources (SDA) and forest and land fires in IKN;
3. The aim and objectives of the research are to determine indicators of the threat of danger and vulnerability to drought and to provide a drought disaster risk map in Kalimantan in 2023–2033;
4. Drought risk is calculated by including climatic and non-climatic aspects and using regional dynamic model (CCAM) output data for Kalimantan, so that a baseline drought disaster risk map and future projections will be obtained until 2043;
5. It is hoped that the follow-up to the results of this research will provide very important information for the East Kalimantan Province region in order to support regional development and improve the economy of the people of the East Kalimantan region in particular and the Indonesian nation in general.
