Abstract

Central Kalimantan covers an area of 157,983 km2 with more than 2,000 km2 of tropical peatlands, which is one of the buffer regions of Indonesia's new capital government city. However, the sad story is the conversion of about one million hectares from peat swamp forests (PSF) to rice fields occurred in the mid-1990s, so called the Mega Rice Project (MRP). Since then, forest and peatland fires become an annual event due to high level of degradation under the climate change symptoms such the frequent of the El Niño event. In very strong El Niño of 2015, Indonesia has returned to the world spotlight in relation to the fires and the haze crisis. The most fire prone area was recorded in the iconic Tumbang Nusa, Pulang Pisau Regency and its adjecent areas. However, the thick haze had covered almost the entire province. There are the dis-adventages impact during more than two months. Therefore, this study was to investigate what are the causes and the impacts of this disaster at the site level. This research location was focuses on three regencies and one city namely Pulang Pisau, Kapuas, Katingan and Palangka City. The method was a Focus Group Discussion (FGD) with key figures representing eight clusters of village communities. This method is also supported by statistical, hotspots and spatial data for additional analysis. The result are only two villages with very high average of hotspot and eight with high average of hotspots in Pulang Pisau and Kapuas Regency. Further, the FGDs in seven villages showed that there were three main clusters that caused forest-land fires, namely natural factors, human factors and village policy / regulation factors. The villages study that were affected by the fire in 2015 showed there were three main impacts namely on people, environment and capital. This result is a foundation of cause-effect factor for further Root Cause Analysis to find out the options for fire prevention and management in climate change mitigation efforts.

Abstract

fires in Indonesia. About thirty percent of the total fires are spread in Central Kalimantan Province. Symptoms of climate change in the form of increasingly frequent weather and extreme climate phenomena support the severity of forest and land fires which results in increased release of air pollution gases. In 2015, the peak fire months had emitted a high concentration of air pollutant gasses and causes hazardous air pollution. This study aims to investigate the latest severe fire occurrence and haze conditions in Central Kalimantan. Hotspot data was from 2006 to 2017, visibility data were from four times of El Niño event, Particle Matter Size 10 (PM 10) data and Pollution Standard Index (PSI) was from very strong El Niño in 2015 comparison to La Niña in 2016/2017. The results showed that the top incidents occurred not only very strong in 2015 but also weak El Niño in 2006. The most of dense hotspots density in the last twelve years (> 50% of fires in the area) found in peatlands in Pulang Pisau, Palangka Raya and Kapuas.  Palangka Raya's case, dangerous of APSI with PM10 concentrations of more than 500 µg m-3 occurred for 2 (two) months, from the end of August to the early of November 2015. The maximum peak concentration of PM10 is as high as 3000 μg m-3, which is higher than other fire years. Based on the data obtained, the haze was blanketed Palangka Raya was getting thicker at the end of October. As a result, visibility is decreasingly limited, only around 200 to 900 m during the peak season and air pollution-related-peat fire. Thus, this severe condition could rose multiple effects, which will exacerbate climate change, environmental sustainability and the livelihoods of thousands of peoples.

Abstract

Peatland Forest fires are one of the main causes of high concentrations of particulate matter and gases, especially PM2.5 and carbon monoxide (CO). Particles of PM2.5 are very small, so they can enter directly into the human lungs, as well as high concentrations of CO will affect the concentration of carboxyhemoglobin (COHb) in human blood, so it can cause decreased vision, hearing, and death. Monitoring of particulate and gas concentrations is carried out, to increase the concern of all levels of society, so as not to burn forests and peatlands in the dry season, be careful in carrying out all activities outside the home during peatland forest fires, especially vulnerable ages such as infants, children, pregnant, people with congenital diseases and the elderly. The sensor tools used are P-Sensor for recording PM2.5 concentration and EL-USB-CO sensor for recording carbon monoxide (CO) concentration placed at UPT Laboratorium Lahan Gambut – CIMTROP University of Palangka Raya and north-west at PERUM PEMDA Km 10 Cilik Riwut, Palangka Raya for 2 months during forest and peatland fires in September and October 2023. Data is tabulated and analyzed using Microsoft Excel. T-test result of PM2.5 and CO concentration during the rainy season and dry season (peatland forest fire) is p-value < 0,05 at UPT LLG – CIMTROP dan Perum Pemda Km 10 Cilik Riwut. The PM2.5 concentration in UPT LLG – CIMTROP during the peatland forest fires 2023 is 700.24 μg/m3, while the CO concentration is 7,446 μg/m3 (6.5 ppm). The PM2.5 concentration at the PERUM PEMDA Km 10 Cilik Riwut is 333.39 μg/m3, while the CO concentration is 26,439 μg/m3 (23 ppm). PM2.5 concentrations in UPT LLG – CIMTROP are higher, but CO concentrations are lower than those in PERUM PEMDA Km. 10 Cilik Riwut, possibly caused by wind direction effect, vegetation, fuel, and other sources such as vehicle fumes in respective locations.

Abstract

Penelitian ini menganalisis profil sosial dan ekonomi masyarakat pedesaan berdasarkan pekerjaan pokok dan pekerjaan sampingan di wilayah Hutan Pendidikan Hampangen Universitas Palangka Raya. Masyarakat pedesaan menggantungkan mata pencaharian pada sektor pertanian, namun pendapatan dari sektor ini sering kali tidak stabil akibat fluktuasi harga komoditas, musim tanam, dan kondisi lingkungan. Pekerjaan sampingan menjadi strategi dalam memperkuat ketahanan ekonomi rumah tangga. Penelitian bertujuan menganalisis hubungan antara pekerjaan pokok dan pekerjaan sampingan serta mengidentifikasi faktor-faktor sosial yang mempengaruhi pilihan pekerjaan masyarakat. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan deskriptif dengan kombinasi metode kuantitatif dan kualitatif. Data diperoleh dari 46 responden melalui kuesioner serta wawancara semi-terstruktur. Temuan penelitian mengindikasikan bahwa sebagian besar responden berprofesi di sektor pertanian, khususnya sebagai petani kelapa sawit, karet, dan tanaman pangan. Pekerjaan sampingan yang dilakukan adalah pembibitan sawit, perdagangan kecil, buruh lepas, dan kegiatan ekonomi informal lainnya. Data penelitian bahwa 65,2% responden menyatakan bahwa pekerjaan sampingan memberikan kontribusi signifikan terhadap pendapatan rumah tangga dan membantu memenuhi kebutuhan dasar seperti pangan, pendidikan, dan kesehatan. Faktor sosial seperti tingkat pendidikan, usia, jenis kelamin, dan jumlah tanggungan turut mempengaruhi pilihan pekerjaan masyarakat. Pekerjaan sampingan berperan dalam diversifikasi sumber pendapatan serta meningkatkan ketahanan ekonomi dan kesejahteraan rumah tangga masyarakat pedesaan.
