Abstract

Uncertainty over forest area is one of the obstacles to effective forest governance in Indonesia. Of the total forest area of 130 million hectares, only about 12 percent (14.2 million hectares) has been demarcated. This uncertainty triggers tenurial conflicts with various parties with an interest in the forest area. The low income of the community triggers forest encroachment activities. Forest encroachment is a very effective alternative job according to the community to get a high income in a short time. As a result of the crisis, there was a conflict between the community around the concession area and PT Musi Hutan Persada (MHP). This research was conducted to find out and describe the pattern of land tenure by the community in the PT MHP permit area, analyze the form of partnership collaboration between communities, and find out the impacts and benefits of the collaboration scheme used. This research method is descriptive qualitative with data collection techniques of observation, interviews, documentation and literature. The triangulation technique was carried out by conducting in-depth interviews directly with selected informants. The results of this study show that based on the steatment area, the land controlled by the community can be divided into 2 land tenure patterns, namely land tenure patterns that have a steatment area of more than 50 ha with a total area of 47,568.64 ha and land tenure patterns that have a steatment area of less than 50 ha with a total area of 382.7 ha. Conflict resolution carried out by PT MHP on land that has a steatment area of more than 50 ha is managing forests with the community while land that has a steatment area of less than 50 ha is managing community forests. The impacts and benefits of the collaboration scheme carried out by PT MHP are the benefits for the company of establishing good relations between the company and the community, reducing fire levels, returning land that was once controlled by the community and not creating new conflicts.

Abstract

Climate change and food security are global challenges on this era. Climate trends play a critical role in characterizing climatic conditions and informing agricultural suitability recommendations in tropical regions. As rapidly expanding tropical urban areas, Palembang and Jambi warrant particular attention regarding to climate and food security challenges. The study aimed to evaluate climate change and suitability for urban agriculture in Palembang and Jambi. The study used secondary data of monthly rainfall, air temperature, relative humidity, and sunshine duration for the 2014-2018 and 2019-2023 periods. The collected data were subsequently averaged on a monthly basis for each observation period. Thereafter, the data were analyzed using descriptive method. The results showed that there are obvious differences of climate status between Palembang and Jambi, especially related to rainfall. Rainfall in Palembang is higher than Jambi as represented by number of wet months (5-8 months on Palembang and 3-6 months on Jambi). Meanwhile, the dry season in Jambi is potentially longer than Palembang. There was an indication of increasing air temperature in both regions, as indicated by the higher air temperature in 2019-2023 compared to 2014-2018. The air temperature increases each month in Palembang and Jambi is 1.14% and 0.93%, respectively. Nevertheless, air temperature, air humidity, and sunshine duration were still within the range of tropical plants to grow and be productive. Therefore, the recommendation of suitable cultivation in Palembang and Jambi is almost similar, in March-April and November-December applying cultivation techniques under excess water condition, otherwise in June-August on drought-resistant or minimum irrigation cultivation.

Abstract

Honey bees are social insects that live in colonies. A bee colony consists of around 10,000 to 60,000 bees. The colony consists of a queen (fertile female), hundreds of drones and thousands of worker bees (sterile females). Honey bee cultivation is currently not only oriented towards the economy but also on the aspect of maintaining sustainable forests. The Wana Lestari Forest Farmer Group (KTH) in Rejo Sari Village, Megang Sakti District, Musi Rawas Regency, South Sumatra Province, which is supervised by the Lakitan Bukit Cogong Forest Management Unit (KPH), is developing Apis mellifera bee cultivation. The Community Partnership Program activity partners were carried out at the Lakitan Bukit Cogong KPH Office and at the Wana Lestari Forest Farmer Group (KTH) location in Rejo Sari Village, Megang Sakti District, Musi Rawas Regency, South Sumatra Province on May 27, 2024 - May 31, 2024. The activities carried out were honey bee cultivation training with the initial step of preparing materials for beekeeping and training in the bee breeding process. From the results of this training activity, it can be concluded that the honey bee cultivation training activity at KTH Wana Lestari can be beneficial for KTH members so that it can increase the income of farmer groups.

Abstract

This community service initiative seeks to enhance the institutional capacity and professionalism of Village-Owned Enterprises (BUMDes) via a strategic methodology that includes initial assessment, interactive workshops, intense mentoring, and facilitation of business partnership execution. The activities were conducted in eight villages within Musi Banyuasin Regency, South Sumatra. The employed methodologies encompassed participative analyses of BUMDes profiles, training in the formulation of work plans and business ideas, and the enhancement of branding strategies. The findings indicated that all BUMDes successfully developed strategic documents, including firm profiles, collaboration proposals, and SWOT analyses. Five BUMDes have initiated preliminary collaborations with neighboring enterprises. The primary obstacles encountered consist of insufficient human resource capability, restricted technological utilization, and scant managerial expertise. This program enhances both technical and administrative capabilities while fostering the establishment of sustainable collaborative networks between villages and the corporate sector. Additional proposals encompass training in corporate digitization, mentoring in negotiation, and the establishment of a more flexible organizational structure. This program aims to serve as a prototype for village empowerment through strategic partnerships and enhanced institutional capacity, which may be replicated in other locations.

Abstract

Forest and land fires are recurring environmental problems in Musi Banyuasin Regency, particularly in areas dominated by forest landscapes and peatlands. This community engagement activity aimed to enhance community understanding and awareness of forest and land fire prevention and management through an educational and participatory socialization approach. The activity was conducted in Muara Merang Village, Bayung Lencir Subdistrict, and Pangkalan Bulian Village, Batanghari Leko Subdistrict, involving 45 participants representing village governments, Fire Care Community groups, farmer and forest farmer groups, youth organizations, and women’s groups. The implementation stages included an initial assessment and site selection, coordination with village stakeholders, pre-test administration, delivery of conceptual and technical materials, participatory discussions, and evaluation through post-test. The results indicate that the community’s initial understanding of forest and land fires was relatively adequate, with an average pre-test score of 6.2, although the understanding remained partial. After the socialization activity, participants’ understanding increased significantly, as reflected by an average post-test score of 9.25. Participatory discussions further revealed community needs for institutional strengthening, more intensive training, adequate equipment support, and sustainable land management alternatives without burning practices. These findings highlight the importance of community-based approaches as an initial step in strengthening local preparedness and sustainable forest and land fire prevention at the village level.

Abstract

Indonesia possesses abundant natural resources, yet high levels of environmental degradation are believed to contribute to climate change, which brings rising sea surface temperatures, extreme weather intensity, and shifting rainfall patterns with sustained consequences for farmers' livelihoods. These impacts can be mitigated if farmers possess adequate knowledge to shape their perceptions and undertake appropriate adaptation measures. This study aims to analyze farmers' knowledge, perceptions, and adaptation strategies regarding climate change in Lebak Budi Village, West Merapi Subdistrict, Lahat Regency. The study employed a descriptive qualitative and quantitative method, with a census sample of 65 farmers affected by climate change. Data were analyzed using descriptive tabulation for knowledge, a Likert scale for perception, and narrative description for adaptation. Results showed that farmers' knowledge of climate change was high (98%), while perception fell into the "agree" category with an average of 80%, indicating that most farmers have directly experienced the impacts of climate change on cropping patterns, harvest yields, livelihoods, and the surrounding environment. Adaptation strategies undertaken included increased fertilizer application, intercropping, seeking alternative employment outside the agricultural sector, and switching to different crop types. This study recommends continuous extension services and mentoring to make farmers' adaptation strategies more effective in facing climate change.
