Abstract

This Community Service Program (PKM) aims to strengthen the community’s adaptive capacity through educational and participatory approaches in responding to climate change. The implementation methods included socialization sessions, focused group discussions, training on simple mitigation techniques, and mentoring on natural resource management based on local wisdom. The results showed a significant increase in community awareness and understanding of climate change issues, especially regarding the vital role of protected forests in maintaining ecosystem balance and water resilience. The activity also fostered the formation of a climate care community group that initiated adaptive environmental actions, including tree planting, water source conservation, and integrated waste management. Collaboration among academics, local government, and customary institutions played a key role in strengthening social networks and local institutions as social capital for sustainability. Overall, this PKM activity contributed to building a more resilient, adaptive, and empowered community in Waai Village to face the impacts of climate change at the local level.

Abstract

Indonesia, as an archipelagic state, possesses abundant natural resources and high biological diversity, including extensive forest ecosystems that vary across regions. Maluku is one of the provinces characterized by vast tropical forests with significant ecological value, while also providing economic benefits for local communities through non-timber forest products such as cajuput oil, copal, rattan, and agarwood. However, these forests face increasing threats from land-use change, particularly due to mining and plantation expansion. In this context, Indigenous communities play a crucial role in sustaining forest resources through customary practices and local wisdom passed down across generations. This study aims to identify forms of local wisdom in forest resource management and examine the factors influencing these practices in Buano Utara Village, Huamual Belakang Subdistrict, West Seram Regency. The research was conducted in May 2025 using a survey method with a descriptive approach to systematically and accurately describe the socio-cultural conditions and forest management practices observed in the field. The results show that the people of Buano Utara regard local wisdom as an essential cultural heritage that shapes their approaches to forest and agricultural resource management. Customary systems such as sasi hutan function effectively in promoting forest sustainability by regulating periods of restricted exploitation, implementing adat-based monitoring, and enforcing sanctions for violators. Local wisdom not only contributes to ecological conservation but also strengthens social cohesion and community resilience. Therefore, local wisdom remains a highly relevant and effective traditional mechanism for supporting sustainable forest resource management in Maluku.

Abstract

Local wisdom-based forest management represents a critical mechanism for maintaining forest resource sustainability through the integration of cultural values, customary regulations, and prudent utilization practices. This study aims to describe the forms of local wisdom, forest management systems, and the role of customary institutions in Uraur Village, Kairatu District, West Seram Regency. A qualitative descriptive method was employed through interviews, observations, and documentation involving customary leaders, village government officials, and local communities. The findings indicate that forest management in Uraur Village is grounded in various forms of local wisdom, including the sasi system (sola mapina, sola manawa, and sola kakehang) along with sanctions for violations, traditional management through area zonation and dusung cultivation patterns, the presence of the Kewang customary institution as forest guardians, and the cultural values of masohi and traditional rituals. The success of this management is determined by the strength of customary institutions in regulating culture-based forest utilization, community social solidarity, government policy support to reinforce the legitimacy of customary institutions to avoid jurisdictional overlaps, and comprehensive facilitation ranging from socialization and training to the implementation of sustainable forest management that considers socio-economic, ecological, cultural aspects, and local customary norms.

Abstract

The social forestry program through the Village Forest scheme aims to improve community welfare while ensuring forest sustainability. However, the socio-economic effectiveness of this program remains varied, particularly in island regions. This study aims to analyze the social and economic impacts of Village Forest management and to identify the factors influencing its implementation in Negeri Oma, Central Maluku Regency. This research employed a mixed-methods approach, involving a survey of 30 respondents from Social Forestry Business Groups (KUPS), key informant interviews, field observations, and document analysis. Data were analyzed using descriptive quantitative and qualitative approaches, including data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The results show that the Village Forest program has generated positive social impacts, particularly in strengthening social cohesion and mutual cooperation among community members, especially within non-timber forest product (NTFP)-based groups. However, the level of community participation remains limited and tends to be dominated by core group leaders. From an economic perspective, the program has not significantly contributed to household income, functioning only as a supplementary income source with limited business scale and low production efficiency. The main factors influencing program implementation include weak institutional capacity, limited business skills and market access, tenure conflicts—particularly in ecotourism development—and insufficient facilitation and external support. This study emphasizes that the success of Village Forest management is not solely determined by legal access to forest resources, but also by strengthening local institutions, scaling up economic activities, and ensuring sustainable market integration.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the strategy of Dusung management to increase productivity and sustainability in Liang Village, Teluk Elpaputih District. Dusung is a traditional agroforestry system that has long been applied by the Maluku community. This system has an important role in maintaining food security, improving the economic welfare of the community, and preserving the environment. However, in recent years, Dusung management has faced various challenges, such as changes in land use patterns, minimal technological support and limited market access. The methods used in this study include surveys, in-depth interviews, field observations, and SWOT and AHP analyses to determine priority strategies. The results of the study indicate that the most effective approach in Dusung management is increasing farmer capacity through training, developing Dusung-based ecotourism, and investing in marketing and distribution infrastructure. By implementing this strategy, it is hoped that Dusungs can continue to provide economic, social and environmental benefits to the local community.
