Abstract

In 2016, a number of villagers in Kampung Rawa Mekar Jaya founded a ”pokdarwis,” a group of villagers who were eager to manage a remnant of mangrove forest for ecotourism, which is situated on the bank of Rawa River. The establishment of touristic infrastructure and the continuing promotion have attracted visitors from other localities. However, the increasing number of visitors has caused damages of the existing infrastructure. During 2018-2019, Riau University’s Institute for Researches and Community Services has launched a Village Foster Program in Kampung Rawa Mekar Jaya with the objective of improving local community’s capability of managing the mangrove forest remnant, particularly by integrating ecotourism with stingless beekeeping for honey production. Some activities that have been done included: (a) mapping of mangrove forest; (b) mangrove tree naming and labelling; (c) training for mangrove eco-guiding; (d) establishment of stingless beekeeping site with enriched food plants. Members of pokdarwis showed enthusiasm by joining these activities since they were aware of the importance of these activities. However, it was the leader of the pokdarwis who has played a more important role as a motivator with remarkable attitudes, such as being honest, dependable and highly praising equality.

Abstract

Community engagement is often abruptly terminated as a project has to be officially ended following the termination of the fiscal year, which often leads to direct contact break off between project executors and their local counterparts. Consequently, a project initiated in the previous year may not persist in the following years. One strategy to cope with this problem is to use long-distance communication via handphone (HP) to continue the engagement of local counterparts. Our paper shares our experience as counterpart of Badan Restorasi Gambut (BRG) in engaging local communities carrying out peatland revegation in Bengkalis, Siak, and Kepulauan Meranti Regency of Riau. Revegetation was implemented as production and planting of natural forest tree seedlings. This paper evaluates the effectiveness of using long-distance communication for continuing our engagement in peatland revegetation. In our communications, technical and non-technical constraints of revegetation as well as the perceptions and expectations of our counterparts were discussed. We concluded, long-distance communication helps maintain “bonding” between project executors and their local counterparts, so that they do not feel left alone after a project has been formally terminated. Nevertheless, long-distance communication that is not accompanied with a real financial support to cover costs, eventually will not be sufficient.
