Abstract

The occurrence of natural disasters frequently results in the impairment of settlements, thus rendering relocation the optimal course of action. The present study aims to review relocation policies and recovery efforts following the Aceh tsunami, the eruptions of Mount Merapi in Yogyakarta and Mount Sinabung, and the disaster in Central Sulawesi. The research was conducted using a descriptive qualitative approach. The research findings highlight significant challenges in relocation, including the difficulty of securing land that is physically and legally clean and clear. In order to address these issues, land provision was carried out using village land, state land, land with cultivation rights, and the release of production forest areas. The review also indicates that in order to support livelihood sustainability, the government implemented several strategies, including the provision of agricultural land in Sinabung, the utilisation of KRB III land as a livelihood source in Yogyakarta, and the facilitation of new job opportunities for the community. This review underscores that the challenges associated with relocation extend beyond the mere procurement of land and the establishment of settlements, encompassing the imperative of restoring community livelihoods. The findings of this study are expected to provide a foundation for the formulation of appropriate relocation policies in the future, ensuring that communities are safe from disasters and able to live more prosperously.

Abstract

Social forestry can be defined as a strategy for resolving forest tenure conflicts, reducing poverty, and maintaining the sustainability of forest ecosystems/environments. Nevertheless, studies that address the subject of social forestry literature reviews are extremely scarce. This condition has the potential to impede a comprehensive understanding and limit prospects for future social forestry research initiatives. The present study aims to analyse the role of social forestry in achieving social, economic and environmental sustainability. The present study utilised the Scopus database, which encompasses 429 manuscripts, and employed R-Studio and Vosviewer for the purpose of data analysis. The research findings indicate that Forest and Society is the most productive publisher. The three institutions with the highest number of publications are Hasanuddin University, Gadjah Mada University, and Bogor Agricultural University. This analysis demonstrates that Indonesia is the nation with the most prolific number of publications in the domain of social forestry. Social forestry studies have undergone substantial development. In the 2000s, the majority of studies were related to the sub-themes of deforestation, biomass, and participation. Concurrently, in 2010, the study sub-themes exhibited a stronger correlation with livelihoods and community forestry. In the 2020s, the focus shifted towards conservation, climate change, and sustainable forest management. The implementation of social forestry is encumbered by a number of challenges and problems. In certain regions, the implementation of social forestry initiatives has successfully addressed tenurial conflicts, thereby ensuring legal clarity with respect to land tenure. Nevertheless, the implementation of this policy has not yet resulted in significant improvements to people's lives or achieved environmental sustainability, including in terms of forest ecosystems. It is evident that inadequate mentoring, inadequate funding, limited community participation, and limited structured monitoring and evaluation of social forestry policies have collectively impeded this policy from achieving the desired levels of social, economic, and environmental sustainability.

Abstract

Expansion of industrial areas, aquaculture, settlements, and limited knowledge of the community about the function of mangroves allegedly led to the conversion of mangrove functions in the early 1990s. This study aimed to map the condition of mangroves from 1988, 1990, 1995, 2008, to 2021 and their effect on the widespread of tidal flooding in three villages (Mangkang Kulon, Mangunharjo, Mangkang Wetan) in Tugu subdistrict, Semarang City. The research method was carried out by using spatiotemporal analysis of Landsat 5 and Landsat 8 imagery through the supervised approach (Maximum Likelihood algorithm). In order to map the correlation of mangrove damage with the widespread impact of tidal flooding, an overlay analysis of land use maps was carried out in 1988, 1990, 1995, 2008 and 2021. The results of the study showed that mangrove damage is correlated with the widespread of tidal flooding that drowns settlements, ponds, and agricultural land. Data analysis showed that the mangrove area in three villages has decreased from 1988 to 2021, covering an area of 242.66 ha. This condition is one of the triggers for the increase in tidal flooding area from 1988 to 2021, covering an area of 253.135 ha. As a natural barrier to prevent abrasion and tidal flooding, mangrove conservation is very necessary, considering the impact of tidal flooding on the coast of Semarang City is increasingly widespread.
