Abstract

Utilization of natural biological resources and their ecosystems responsibly and sustainably can be achieved through environmental management efforts, such as conservation. One company undertaking such efforts is PT Pertamina Hulu Energi Ogan Komering (PHE OK), which manages a conservation area. This research involves observations in the conservation area to obtain current data (conditions and potential) and trends at the location, in order to formulate strategies for its protection and management. The study was conducted in the PHE OK conservation area in Peninjauan Village, Peninjauan District, Ogan Komering Ulu Regency, South Sumatra Province. Data and analysis were performed using vegetation analysis methods, resulting in several parameters, including Density (K), Relative Density (KR), Frequency (F), Relative Frequency (FR), Dominance (D), Relative Dominance (DR), Importance Value Index (INP), Dominance Index (ID), Margalef Species Richness Index (R), Shannon Diversity Index (H'), and Pielou Evenness Index (E). The analysis results show a positive trend, with an increase in biodiversity values from low in 2022 to moderate currently. Additionally, the R value for seedling level is moderate, while it is low for saplings, poles, and trees. The E value for seedlings, saplings, poles, and trees all fall into the high species richness category. There has been an increase in each biodiversity indicator value compared to 2022, indicating that the protection efforts thus far have produced positive outcomes. However, more extensive enrichment is needed to achieve a significant increase in biodiversity

Abstract

Changes in land cover are thought to be the main factor in the Urban Heat Island (UHI) phenomenon. UHI is a form of local climate change which is characterized by an increase in temperature reaching 6oC in central urban areas compared to vegetated areas on the outskirts of the city. Compact vegetated land or Green Open Space (GOS), which is able to avoid increasing the surrounding temperature. GOR H. Agus Salim as one of the GOS in Padang City is a place for residents to have recreation and fill their free time by enjoying various culinary delights with friends and family as well as sports activities. This research aims to measure the benefits of tree canopies as climate amelioration in the H. Agus Salim GOR area. The research was conducted in September 2023, with 7 repetitions at 5 measurement points (3 under the tree canopy and 2 in the open field). Data is measured directly in the field with a thermohygrometer. The cooling effect provided by trees was analyzed using a difference approach between measurements in shade and open areas. Thermal comfort level is measured using the empirical formula Temperature Humidity Index (THI). The results showed that there was a decrease in temperature under the tree from 2,0oC (in the morning) to 2,9C (in the afternoon). However, THI calculations show that GOR H. Agus Salim is in the Uncomfortable criteria both under a canopy and in open areas.

Abstract

Mount Padang has high tourism potential due to its beautiful natural panorama, historical value, and accessibility. The increasing number of visits to Mount Padang every year shows the popularity of this area. Ecological carrying capacity emphasizes the ability of the environment to support tourism activities without causing damage. While psychological carrying capacity is related to the comfort of visitors in enjoying a good tourist atmosphere. This study aims to calculate the ecological carrying capacity of Mount Padang based on the parameters of area size, usage capacity, and number of visits. As well as analyzing psychological carrying capacity based on the level of visitor comfort towards crowds. The method used in this study is a quantitative descriptive approach with carrying capacity analysis based on the Carrying Capacity formula. Ecological carrying capacity includes physical carrying capacity (PCC), real carrying capacity (RCC), and effective carrying capacity (ECC). Psychological carrying capacity analysis was conducted by distributing questionnaires to 40 respondents using a Likert Scale. The research results show that the physical carrying capacity of the Gunung Padang area is 500 people/day, the actual carrying capacity is 240 people/day, and the effective carrying capacity is 600 people/day. The majority of visitors feel comfortable, safe, connected to nature, and satisfied with the area's atmosphere, although several aspects such as facilities and visitor density still need to be improved. Therefore, the management of Gunung Padang tourism needs to pay attention to the balance between the capacity of the tourist area and the psychological comfort of visitors to support sustainable tourism development.support

Abstract

A Nature Tourism Park (TWA) is a type of conservation area. In addition to functioning as a conservation area, TWA also functions as a tourist attraction. Harau Valley is one of the favorite tourist attractions in West Sumatra Province. The Sarasah Bunta area has three waterfalls in the same landscape, namely Sarasah Aie Luluih, Sarasah Bunta, and Sarasah Murai. This study aims to determine the factors that influence the Willingness to Pay (WTP) of visitors to the Harau Valley Waterfall, determine the amount of Willingness to Pay (WTP) of visitors to enjoy the Harau Valley Waterfall tour, and compare the Willingness to Pay (WTP) values of tourists at the three Harau Valley Waterfalls. The data used in this study include primary data and secondary data. This study used a multiple linear regression analysis approach, the Contingent Valuation Method (CVM), and descriptive analysis. The results of this study indicate that the WTP values that have a significant influence are income level at Sarasah Aie Luluih, education level at Sarasah Bunta, and gender at Sarasah Murai. The average WTP value of willingness to pay at each waterfall is IDR 6,625.00 per entry at Sarasah Aie Luluih, IDR 7,906.25 per entry at Sarasah Bunta, and IDR 7,233.33 per entry at Sarasah Murai. The Total WTP value (TWTP) is IDR 6,123,812,816.28 with an estimated visitor count of 281,366 people in the Harau Valley. Overall, differences in location, facilities, and atmosphere of each waterfall create different visitor segmentations, so that tourism management and development at the three locations are adjusted to the characteristics of visitors to each waterfall.

Abstract

Padang City is the largest city on the west coast of Sumatra Island and the capital of West Sumatra Province, Indonesia (BPS Padang City, 2024). Surrounded by hills at an altitude of 1,853 meters above sea level, Padang covers an area of 1,414.96 km². The city had a population of 928,541 in mid-2023, comprising 11 sub-districts, 104 villages, and 19 small islands. Padang is the core city of the Palapa metropolitan area. This study aims to determine the comparison of surface temperatures in Padang City from 2014 and 2024. This research method consists of image data obtained from the USGS Explorer site consisting of Landsat 8 satellite images dated August 15, 2014 and January 23, 2024 and Band 10 and Band 11, and the administrative map of Padang City obtained from the boundaries of the Regency/City of the Population and Civil Registration Office (Dukcapil) of Padang City. The results of this study are that the land surface temperature in the Padang City area has increased over a period of ten years along with the increase in built-up land and land use due to human activities. The increase in built-up land surface temperature and land use is spatially distributed in eleven sub-districts with an average temperature of >25.9 OC. In line with the increase in land surface temperatures caused by changes in temperature class ranges, nine areas in Padang City have a high potential to become sources of urban heat islands: Koto Tangah, Nanggalo, Kuranji, North Padang, West Padang, East Padang, South Padang, Lubuk Begalung, and Bungus Teluk Kabung Districts. Spatially, these nine areas are adjacent to each other or connected to one another.

Abstract. Eddy S, Milantara N, Basyuni M. 2021. Carbon emissions as impact of mangrove degradation: A case study on the Air Telang Protected Forest, South Sumatra, Indonesia (2000-2020). Biodiversitas 22: 2142-2149. Massive degradation in ATPF occurs due to anthropogenic activities that have converted this area into a coconut plantation, fishpond, settlement, and agriculture. The purpose of this study was to describe changes in land cover and the amount of CO2 emission in ATPF and its causes during the 2000-2020 period using remote sensing data. Data from remote sensing were used to obtain area, classification and land cover change in each period; meanwhile, carbon stock, emissions, and CO2 sequestration were obtained from the analysis using LUMENS software. The results showed that the emissions resulting from land conversion in ATPF during the 2000-2020 period were much greater than sequestration. Net emissions of 1,928,076.56 tons of CO2-eq with an annual emission rate of 96,403.83 tons of CO2-eq/year. The largest source of emissions came from the conversion of primary forest, coconut plantation and secondary forest to open areas; while the source of sequestration comes from the formation of primary and secondary forests. There need to be restoration and conservation efforts in this area by the government and the community to restore the function of ATPF as a coastal protection forest. This research is the first study to examine land cover changes in mangrove forests using data analysis methods with LUMENS.

Abstract. Eddy S, Setiawan AA, Taufik M, Oktavia M, Utomo B, Milantara N. 2023. Loss of carbon stock as an impact of anthropogenic activities in a protected mangrove forest. Biodiversitas 24: 6493-6501. The significant anthropogenic activities within the mangrove forest, known as the Air Telang Protected Forest (ATPF) in the Banyuasin District, South Sumatra, Indonesia, have led to an alarming degradation, leaving only its primary mangrove forests, currently constituting approximately 26% of the total forest area. This study aims to analyze changes in land cover, quantify carbon reserve loss due to CO2 emissions, and assess carbon sequestration in the ATPF over two periods: 1999-2010 and 2010-2023. Remote sensing data for 1999, 2010, and 2023 were utilized from Landsat imagery, employing ENVI and ArcGIS for land cover classification. Carbon density, CO2 emissions, and carbon sequestration were analysed using the Land Use Planning for Multiple Environmental Services (LUMENS) software. The research findings reveal an increase in the primary forest area in the first period (by almost a quarter); however, more than half of this area was lost in the second period. The secondary forest area consistently decreased over the two periods, while the open area experienced significant growth. Carbon stocks in 2010 exceeded those in 1999 due to an increase in the primary forest area, but by 2023, carbon stocks decreased significantly due to extensive land clearing. The second period witnessed the largest emissions, exceeding those of the previous period by five times. Carbon sequestration in the first period surpassed that in the second period by more than three times, with the most significant sequestration resulting from the growth of secondary mangrove forests into primary mangrove forests. The study highlights the necessity of restoration and conservation of mangrove forest areas in ATPF for sustenance of its natural function as a protected forest.

Abstract. Eddy S, Milantara N, Setiawan AA, Taufik M, Rosanti D, Putri SAD, Rahmawati. 2024. Association and distribution patterns of nipah (Nypa fruticans) in a degraded protected mangrove forest. Biodiversitas 25: 4525-4534. The invasion of nipah (Nypa fruticans) serves as an indicator of mangrove forest degradation that has occurred globally, impacting biodiversity. Therefore, understanding the population dynamics of nipah is essential for controlling its growth. This study aims to classify land cover types in the Air Telang Protected Forest (ATPF), analyze the association of nipah with other plants, and examine its distribution patterns. We employed a descriptive research method, utilizing Geographic Information Systems (GIS) for land cover change analysis, alongside field surveys to collect data on plant species associated with nipah. Drone photography was used to document nipah populations across various land cover types. Our findings revealed four land cover types in ATPF: primary forest, secondary forest, open area (shrub), and plantation, with 29 plant species associated with nipah. Nipah has spread across various land cover types through multiple mechanisms. We estimate that nipah will dominate nearly all degraded areas of ATPF and hinder the succession process if restoration efforts are not implemented promptly. However, with the right strategies, there is hope for successful restoration. This research contributes to understanding nipah's population dynamics, the implications of its dominance, and strategies for controlling its growth. In addition, this study is more widely useful for information on mangrove ecosystem management, ecological risk assessment, ecosystem restoration efforts, and conservation policy development.
