In the early days of the construction of Batavia there was an area called Ommelanden. This
was the name for the vast plains around the city of Batavia. The VOC intentionally emptied
land outside the city walls and banned settlements there.
The area was also not very interesting because it was still forested and filled with swamps. At
the initiative of VOC Governor General Jan Pieterszoon Coen, since 1620 lands around the
walls of Batavia had been distributed to employees and followers.
Ommelanden initially stretched from the Batavia coast to Mount Salak in the south. In the
west it was bordered by Tangerang and the territory of the Sultanate of Banten. Meanwhile in
the east it stretched at least to Karawang. In the 19th century the region began to shrink to
the extent of approximately Jakarta today.
The private lands were possesed by rich VOC and Chinese landlords . Therefore,
Ommelanden is more like small countries controlled by autonomous landlords.
There were no professional police in Ommelanden, at least until the 19th century. Instead, the
landlords employed bullies or bandits to ensure order and security. Ordinary citizens
generally work as farmers and laborers on plantations owned by landlords.
Betawi people were practically native residents here, but the composition of the community
was largely Javanese, Sundanese or other ethnic groups who had worked for the VOC.

Plants are considered a critical resource because of the many ways they support life on
Earth. They release oxygen into the atmosphere, absorb carbon dioxide.

Without plants, humans and animals would have less fresh air to breathe. Through the
process of photosynthesis, plants release oxygen back into the atmosphere. What you may
not have known is that plants from the ocean are what provide most of the air that we
breathe. In addition, terrestrial plants make up the rest of atmospheric oxygen that is
essential for the survival of living organisms.

During this time of climate uncertainty, it is important to realize the role plants can play to help
mitigate the effects of climate change. One of the biggest environmental issues the world
faces today is the burning of fossil fuels which has resulted in high levels of carbon dioxide in
the atmosphere. This is where plants come in to play. Terrestrial and oceanic plants are
considered carbon sinks because of their ability to store carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
Important carbon sink ecosystems include: grasslands, boreal forests, tropical rainforests,
peat bogs, wetlands, coral reefs and coastal ecosystems.

On the ground that plants help humans and the environment, we have to protect them and
grow new ones. In this case, every neighborhood can propose a program of growing plants.

C. There is burning on fossil fuels.
D. Plants can reduce the effect of climate change.

Global warming is a process of increasing the average temperature of the atmosphere, ocean
and land mass. Global average temperatures on the surface of the Earth have increased by
0.74 ± 0.18 ° C (1.33 ± 0.32 ° F) over the past hundred years.

The surface of the Earth will absorb some of the heat and reflect the rest. Some of this heat
takes the form of long-wave infrared radiation into space. But some of the heat remains
trapped in the Earth's atmosphere due to the accumulation of greenhouse gases such as
water vapor, carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide and methane which trap these radiation waves.
These gases absorb and reflect back the radiation waves emitted by the Earth and as a result
the heat will be stored on the surface of the Earth. This situation occurs continuously, causing
the average annual temperature of the Earth to rise.
 When the atmosphere warms, the surface layers of the ocean will also warm up, so the
volume will enlarge and raise the sea level. Warming will also melt a lot of polar ice,
especially around Greenland, which further increases the volume of water in the sea. Sea
levels around the world have risen by 10 - 25 cm (4 - 10 inches) during the 20th century, and
scientists predict a further increase of 9 - 88 cm (4 - 35 inches) in the 21st century.

17 new media art installations by local and international artists. 

The festival, organized by Level 7, will be held from Dec. 20 to 29 at The Tribata
Dharmawangsa in South Jakarta and will explore futuristic art through new technology, such
as robotics, coding and virtual reality. 

This year’s art curator is Mona Liem, a Switzerland-based Indonesian “artpreneur” and
curator, who in 2018 was an international judge at contemporary art festival Apexart in New

Bandung and Yogyakarta.“We selected artists based on the theme we determined. We

press conference on Tuesday.

Nine local and four international artists will be featured at the festival. Sembilan Matahari,
whose 2018 installation Constellation Neverland got significant attention, is returning this
year.

“If last year’s immersive installation was surrounded by romantic nuances of serene snow
clouds, this year we are going to try to deliver a mechatronic environment, which is the basic
principle of robotics,” said Adi Panuntun, CEO of Sembilan Matahari.
