Abstract

This paper identifies the plant species used  traditionally by Karo people in North Sumatra, to cure diabetes, analyses the cultural significance index of  those plants for the Karo, and clarifies phytochemical contents of  the plants. Data were collected using survey method from selected respondents (n=54) based on their knowledge and practices in utilising medicinal plants to cure diabetic disease. Index of  Cultural Significance (ICS) of  plants was determined using the method proposed by Turner. Results showed that twelve woody plant species have been used to cure diabetes: loning leave (Psychotria sp.), kacihe leave (Prunus accuminta Hook), umbrella tree leave (Maesopsis eminii Engl), mutamba leave (Guazuma ulmifolia Lamk), cepcepan leave (Villebrunea subescens Blume), pirdot/cepcepan lembu leave (Saurauia vulcani Korth), raru bark (Cotylelobium melanoxylo), breadfruit leave (Artocarpus altilis), salam leave (Syzygium polyanthum Wight), mahogany seed (Swietenia mahagoni (L.) Jacq), cinnamon bark (Cinnamomum burmani), and yellow bamboo rod (Bambusa vulgaris Schrad). Five of  those plants: loning, umbrella tree, mutamba, raru and salam have the highest cultural significance level. These five plants are highly needed in large quatities by the Karo people, so their availability in the forest should be securely conserved and protected. The plants used contained alkaloids, flavonoids, phenolics and terpenoids which can help to lower blood sugar level.

Abstract

Aek Nauli Special Purpose Forest (KHDTK) that is located around Lake Toba is currently being developed to conserve Sumatran elephants through ecotourism. This study aimed to examine stakeholders’ perception on the development of elephant ecotourism, analyze the correlation of respondents’ socio-economic characteristic toward perception, and recommend the development of Elephant Conservation Center at KHDTK Aek Nauli. The study was conducted by using quantitative deductive approach through survey data collection method.  Data were analyzed using frequency analysis and Spearman’s rank correlation. Overall, the results showed that stakeholders gave a high perception on the development of the Elephant Centre (2.44 out of a maximum score of 3.00) with the highest perception as follows: tourism, education, economics, and conservation aspects respectively. The entrepreneurs group gave the highest perception since the elephant conservation center potentially to attract tourist to visit Lake Toba, on the other hand, communities and visitors gave the lower perceptions because the area is still new and community involvement is still limited. Spearman rank analysis between respondents’ socioeconomic characteristic and level of perception showed that education and income levels influenced the perception with a moderate coefficient. However, for the level of age, the coefficient was very low. This research is important to increase the synergy and participation of  stakeholders to the project.
