Abstract

Forest degradation in the Maluku region, particularly on Ambon Island—driven by land-use conversion, unregulated deforestation, and a deficiency in ecological awareness—has posed a significant threat to environmental equilibrium. Hutumuri Village is a designated Customary Forest area, formally recognized under the Decree of the Minister of Environment and Forestry Number SK.7876/MENLHK-PSKL/PKTH/PSL.1/12/2020, enacted on December 28, 2020. Geographically, Hutumuri is situated across coastal and hilly terrains, rendering it highly vulnerable to flooding, landslides, coastal erosion, and the depletion of water resource quality. Consequently, community outreach initiatives—utilizing educational lectures, participatory discussions, and pre-test and post-test evaluations—were implemented to enhance knowledge and cultivate collective responsibility toward forest conservation. The results of this community service program indicate a marked improvement in public understanding and a positive shift in attitudes, serving as a foundational element for strengthening the long-term environmental sustainability of the village.

Abstract

This study aimed to determine the potential of sugar palm (Arenga pinnata) and its utilization by the community in Hatusua Village, Kairatu District, West Seram Regency. Sugar palm is one of the palm species with high economic and ecological value, as nearly all parts of the tree can be utilized. The research employed a combination of strip-plot methods for vegetation analysis and a census method to assess community utilization of sugar palm. The results showed that Arenga pinnata was the dominant species with an Important Value Index (IVI) ranging from 239.89 to 296.44 across all observation plots. Based on interview results, the community primarily utilizes sugar palm for the production of palm sugar, sap, kolang-kaling, palm fiber, and traditional building materials. Ecologically, sugar palm plays an important role in maintaining slope stability and preventing erosion. Given its significant economic and ecological potential, sugar palm in Hatusua Village has considerable opportunity to be developed through a sustainable agroforestry system involving the participation of the local community.

Abstract

Dusung is a traditional agroforestry system of the Maluku people, inherited across generations as an ecological, economic, and cultural strategy for land management. This study aims to identify the plant combinations and cropping patterns applied by the community in Kamarian Village, Kairatu Subdistrict, West Seram Regency. The research employed a descriptive approach using qualitative and quantitative techniques through observation, interviews, and documentation involving ten dusung owners selected by purposive sampling. The results show two main patterns in the dusung system, namely Tree Along Border (TAB) and Mixture Random. The TAB pattern is characterized by planting forestry species such as Alstonia scholaris, Erythrina variegata, and Gliricidia sepium along the field edges as natural fences, while the central area is filled with plantation and fruit crops such as nutmeg, clove, coconut, durian, langsat, and mango. Meanwhile, the Mixture Random pattern features irregular planting with higher species diversity, including food crops such as sago, banana, pineapple, and cassava. The choice of plant combinations is influenced by economic value, ecological suitability, socio-cultural significance, and local seed availability. Overall, the dusung system plays an essential role in maintaining ecosystem balance, improving household livelihoods, and preserving the cultural identity of the Kamarian community.
