The purpose of this study was to determine the diversity of medicinal plants, plant parts used, preparation and use of medicinal plants by the local community, as well as the antibacterial potential of medicinal plants that have High score of Use Value (UV) and Fidelity Level (FL) ​​to treat those diseases. Data was collected by using semi-structural interviews and respondents were chosen by purposive sampling. To analyze the data, we adopted qualitative and quantitative ethnobotanical technique. Qualitative, namely descriptive methods to make an inventory of the composition of medicinal plants and preparation and use by the community, and quantitative to see the most commonly used and most preferred species ethnomedicinal plant species for treating certain ailments. . Based on interviews with respondents, the community uses 44 species of medicinal plants, 40 genus that belong to 26 plant families to treat 19 diseases caused by bacteria. Based on UV and FL scores, mint leaves (Mentha piperita) and kencur leaves (Kaempferia galanga) had the highest scores. The results showed that mint leaves and kencur leaves have antibacterial activity by forming an inhibition zone against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. In this study, extract from leaf of K. galanga appeared to be more potent than that of leaf of M. piperita, and produced consistent level of inhibition of bacterial growth. Since it was revealed that the leaves extract of Kaempferia galanga has the ability to inhibit the growth of Staphylococcus aureus – food – poisoning organism, hence, it would be interesting to investigate the potentially of this plant for possible application in foods to promote safety.

Abstract

Indonesia has abundant natural resources. Natural resources can be used as medicinal herbs. The use of natural resources using medicinal plants (medicinal herbs) has existed for a long time. Medicinal plants are spread all over Indonesia. The urban forest of Sanga Buana Cilandak in South Jakarta is widely used as a place for conservation, education and nature-based tourism, and is selected as a research site because it is used by local people for food and medicine. The purpose of this study was to identify which plants were used as medicines by people in the Sangabuana area. Survey data collection is based on the results of surveys obtained through direct interviews with the community at the destination. Interviews were conducted using a purposive sampling method. Purposive sampling is sampling that is limited to a specific target group. We interviewed seven respondents working in the urban forests of Sangabuana. Our research has revealed 56 species of medicinal plants belonging to 30 families. The most commonly used part of the plant as a medicine is the leaves, and the most common processing method is boiled. Based on utility value (UV) and fidelity level (FL) calculations, red ginger (Alpinia purpurata) UV is shown to have 1.43 and FL to be 100%.
