Abstract

Ecological restoration of peatlands is an effort to restore damaged peatland ecosystems caused by human activities, whether intentional or not. Tanjung Leban Village is one of the villages with a large area of degraded peatlands and always experiences peat fires. The ecological restoration of peatlands in Tanjung Leban Village is an activity of the JICA Partnership Program (JPP), a collaboration between JICA, Kyoto University, and Riau University. The method of community empowerment is through village facilitators who are allocated in the village. The series of implementation processes began with socialization which was then continued with the emerging of the groups, seedling, land clearing, and planting. In particular, the implementation of revegetation activities focuses on community participants who are members of the Peat Care Community Group (MPG). This activity is carried out on community land, with an area of 28.4 Ha and 23,450 trees. These trees are divided into 2 categories, namely natural wood and fruit trees. Community empowerment activities change the community’s behaviour of peatland management in term of preventing peatland fires.

Household’s Food security during the Covid 19 pandemic, through the use of yards, can be conducted by the community independently such as hydroponic. However, people's understanding of hydroponic, especially in Pekanbaru, is still limited. Therefore, training for the community is needed as a community empowerment. These activities can be expanded through interesting educational videos. This community empowerment activity aims to increase community knowledge and skills regarding hydroponic technology during the pandemic, and is expected to become a post-pandemic household-scale economic enterprise. This community service activity is carried out by means of training and mentoring, as well as making a video to be widely disseminated through social media.

Abstract

Friendly peatland utilization is often regarded as ‘difficult’, ‘adding new cost,” and ‘unfavorable’ to the cultivated crops. Such views appear to restrain farmers in general to adopt friendlier methods in utilizing peatlands. In response to the call for improving their practices farmers often demand proven peat-friendly but profittable practices. Therefore, convincing evidences, such as successful farmers with such practices as models, are needed. In one of villages in Siak regency, Riau Province, we encountered a farmer figure that is potentially promoted as a model in this regard. However, after evaluating what he really practiced, we found that some improvements were needed to make his practices truly peat friendlier. Our paper concerns the results of our interactions with this figure in order to improve the: (a) control of groundwater level; (b) prevention of peat decomposition; (c) prevention of peat subsidence; (d) reduction of carbon emission; (e) diversification of the farm’s products; (f) aesthetic value of the farm; and (g) promotion to potential visitors and market the farm’s products.
