Abstract

Gayo coffee has many benefits in terms of the environment, economy, and socio-cultural aspects, especially for the Gayo tribe. Recently, Gayo coffee has been the main commodity for the plant cultivation of the Gayo tribe, including the Mude Nosar as local farmers. One of the ways to cultivate Gayo coffee is through an agroforestry system. However, limited reports on the tree species composition and its management in Gayo coffee-based agroforestry needs to be explored. This study aims i) to identify the tree species composition and structure, as well as 2) to analyze the management of Gayo coffee-based agroforestry system in Mude Nosar Village. The study method used plot establishment for vegetation analysis, and interviewed the Gayo coffee farmers. The results showed that the number of tree species at all growth stages was 26 species. The highest Important Value Index (IVI) at the understory and sapling level in order was rumput kerbau (Paspalum conjugatum) and Gayo coffee (Coffea arabica), while at the seedling, pole, and tree levels were dominated by lamtoro (Leucaena leucocephala). The local farmers often use lamtoro as a shade tree for Gayo coffee in agroforestry system. The species diversity index (H') showed low values at all growth levels, except for understory plants with moderate values. The horizontal structure of the tree stand showed an inverted J curve, meaning that the regeneration rate is normal. The vertical structure of the tree stand belongs to strata C and D. The local farmers have applied good Gayo coffee management practices through an agroforestry system including land and seed preparation, planting, maintenance, and harvesting techniques. Coffee seeds and seedlings are from natural regeneration. Plant maintenance techniques are carried out by weeding, pruning, organic fertilization, and controlling pests and diseases. The harvest coffee season is generally twice a year. The management of Gayo coffee using an agroforestry system impacts the ecological, economic, and social aspects.

Abstract

Berang-berang cakar kecil merupakan salah satu satwa yang dilindungi di Asia. Berang-berang cakar kecil termasuk satwa yang sudah lama dijadikan sebagai satwa peraga di kebun binatang dan akuarium dunia, termasuk di Indonesia. Pengetahuan mengenai berang-berang cakar kecil penting untuk meningkatkan kepedulian dan menghilangkan persepsi negatif terhadap satwaliar ini.Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji persepsi masyarakat terhadap berang-berang cakar kecil sebagai satwa peraga di Lembaga Konservasi Indonesia. Penelitian dilaksanakan pada bulan Desember 2016 hingga Februari 2017 di Kebun Binatang Bandung, Taman Margasatwa Ragunan, dan Gelanggang Samudra Ancol. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah wawancara. Kuesioner digunakan untuk menilai 90 data persepsi pengunjung dan dianalisis secara deskriptif. Chi-Square digunakan untuk menganalisis pengetahuan pengunjung tentang keberadaan berang-berang cakar kecil di ketiga lokasi. Tingkat pengetahuan pengunjung tertinggi tentang berang-berang cakar kecil berada di Taman Margasatwa Ragunan (7,83%), selain dipengaruhi oleh pengetahuan dasar, pemahaman pengunjung juga dipengaruhi oleh ketersediaan media interpretasi. Minat pengunjung terhadap peragaan berang-berang cakar kecil masih rendah karena ukuran tubuh satwa yang kecil dan kondisi kandang peraga yang kotor serta jauh dari kesan alami.

Abstract

This study addresses a gap in understanding the specific economic impacts of community engagement in Ruteng Nature Tourism Park (TWA Ruteng) on local livelihoods. While prior research highlights general benefits of tourism, limited attention has been given to the direct economic activities and their outcomes within TWA Ruteng. The objectives of this research are to analyze the economic activities of the Ngkiong Ndora Village community and evaluate their effects on household income. Data collection was conducted through interviews, observations, documentation, and literature review. Participants were categorized into three strata based on land ownership: 34 respondents in stratum I, 60 in stratum II, and 12 in stratum III. The data were analyzed using both quantitative and qualitative methods to provide a comprehensive understanding of economic dynamics. The results reveal that the community engages in land cultivation, wood utilization, and the exploitation of non-timber resources. These activities have a significant positive economic impact, contributing 76.44% to household income and increasing income levels by 76.94%. This study offers novel insights into the interaction between local communities and nature tourism parks, particularly in Indonesia. It highlights the importance of integrating community involvement into tourism development strategies and illustrates how such engagement can yield substantial economic benefits. Additionally, it provides empirical evidence to inform policies that balance conservation efforts with local economic development, ensuring sustainability and improved livelihoods.

Abstract

ABSTRACT Leuser Ecosystem Area (LEA) is an essential tropical forest ecosystem with an expansive approximately 2,6 Mha. Baseline data of tree species diversity and structure around LEA is limited, whereas vegetation cover as a portion of forest monitoring in GLNP still needs to be considered. The objectives of this study were 1) to estimate vegetation cover changes in LEA in 2016, 2020, and 2021 and 2) to analyze vegetation composition and structure in the natural forests (NF) of GLNP, as well as in the agroforestry system (AF) of Mude Nosar Village, Central Aceh Province where the parts of LEA. The methods used were the Normalized Different Vegetation Index (NDVI) for vegetation cover estimation and vegetation analysis in both locations. NDVI analysis resulted in 5 classes of vegetation cover in LEA, to be specific non-vegetation (class 1), very low dense vegetation (class 2), low dense vegetation (class 3), moderately dense vegetation (class 4), and highly dense vegetation (class 5). LEA vegetation cover in 2016, 2020, and 2021 is dominated by class 5 (highly dense vegetation). The most frequent seedling, sapling, pole, and tree species that grew in NF of GLNP in order were Geseng tanduk (Quercus sp.), Geseng minyak (Lithocarpus lucidus), Geseng pagar anak (Lithocarpus sp.), and Geseng batu (Lithocarpus conocarpus). The dominant species in AF were rumput kerbau (Paspalum conjugatum) at the understory and seedling level, coffee (Coffea arabica) at the sapling level, lamtoro (Leucaena leucocephala) at the pole and tree level. Tree structures in the NF of GLNP are reverse J-curves, while in AF of Mude Nosar Village are not fully reverse J-curves. The success of AF depends on considering tree species composition and structure, along with the specific needs and goals of the landowners. Consequently, enrichment planting in AF is necessary for biodiversity improvement.   Keywords: agroforestry, Gunung Leuser National Park, Mude Nosar Village, species composition, tree structure         ABSTRAK Kawasan Ekosistem Leuser (KEL) merupakan ekosistem hutan tropis yang penting dengan luas sekitar 2,6 juta hektar. Data dasar mengenai keanekaragaman dan struktur spesies pohon di sekitar KEL masih terbatas, sementara tutupan vegetasi sebagai bagian dari pemantauan hutan di Taman Nasional Gunung Leuser (TNGL) masih perlu diperhatikan. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah 1) memperkirakan perubahan tutupan vegetasi di KEL pada tahun 2016, 2020, dan 2021 serta 2) menganalisis komposisi dan struktur vegetasi di hutan alam (NF) TNGL serta sistem agroforestri (AF) di Desa Mude Nosar, Kabupaten Aceh Tengah, yang merupakan bagian dari KEL. Metode yang digunakan meliputi indeks vegetasi berbasis Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) untuk estimasi tutupan vegetasi dan analisis vegetasi di kedua lokasi. Analisis NDVI menghasilkan lima kelas tutupan vegetasi di KEL, yaitu tanpa vegetasi (kelas 1), vegetasi sangat jarang (kelas 2), vegetasi jarang (kelas 3), vegetasi sedang (kelas 4), dan vegetasi sangat rapat (kelas 5). Tutupan vegetasi KEL pada tahun 2016, 2020, dan 2021 didominasi oleh kelas 5 (vegetasi sangat rapat). Spesies yang paling sering ditemukan pada tingkat semai, pancang, tiang, dan pohon di NF TNGL secara berurutan adalah geseng tanduk (Quercus sp.), geseng minyak (Lithocarpus lucidus), geseng pagar anak (Lithocarpus sp.), dan geseng batu (Lithocarpus conocarpus). Spesies dominan di AF adalah rumput kerbau (Paspalum conjugatum) pada tingkat bawah dan semai, kopi (Coffea arabica) pada tingkat pancang, serta lamtoro (Leucaena leucocephala) pada tingkat tiang dan pohon. Struktur pohon di NF TNGL mengikuti pola kurva J-terbalik, sementara di AF Desa Mude Nosar tidak sepenuhnya mengikuti pola J-terbalik. Keberhasilan AF bergantung pada pertimbangan komposisi dan struktur spesies pohon, serta kebutuhan dan tujuan pengelola lahan. Oleh karena itu, penanaman pengayaan dalam sistem AF diperlukan untuk meningkatkan keanekaragaman hayati.   Kata kunci: agroforestri, Desa Mude Nosar, komposisi spesies, struktur pohon, Taman Nasional Gunung Leuser

Abstract

Latar belakang: Lanskap Daerah Tangkapan Air Danau Sentarum memiliki peran strategis dalam menjaga stabilitas hidrologi di Kalimantan Barat melalui fungsinya dalam mengatur aliran air yang masuk ke Sungai Kapuas. Tujuan: Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis variasi temporal debit Sungai Tawang sebagai saluran utama yang menghubungkan sistem danau Danau Sentarum dengan Sungai Kapuas sepanjang tahun 2024. Metode: Pengukuran debit sesaat dilakukan setiap minggu pada dua titik pemantauan tetap menggunakan metode velocity-area. Kecepatan aliran permukaan dan profil kedalaman diukur pada sepuluh subseksi setiap transek, kemudian kecepatan permukaan dikonversi menjadi kecepatan rata-rata menggunakan faktor koreksi 0,85. Hasil: Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa debit sesaat mingguan Sungai Tawang berfluktuasi antara 163,9 hingga 793,6 m³/detik dengan rata-rata 483,9 m³/detik, sedangkan debit sesaat Sungai Kapuas berkisar antara 711,0 hingga 2.536,4 m³/detik dengan rata-rata 1.311,1 m³/detik. Meskipun kontribusi rata-rata debit mingguan Sungai Tawang terhadap debit Sungai Kapuas sebesar 36,3% masih sejalan dengan estimasi Klepper (1994) yang berkisar antara 30–50%, penelitian ini mengungkap variabilitas temporal yang lebih dinamis, dengan kontribusi yang berfluktuasi antara 12,7–64,1%. Selain itu, ditemukan fenomena aliran dua arah (reverse flow), yaitu aliran dari Sungai Kapuas menuju Sungai Tawang, dengan debit masuk berkisar antara 45,7 hingga 438,0 m³/detik. Kesimpulan: Variasi kontribusi debit Sungai Tawang terhadap Sungai Kapuas yang lebih dinamis dibandingkan laporan sebelumnya mengindikasikan potensi perubahan dinamika hidrologi di lanskap Danau Sentarum. Temuan ini menjadi dasar penting bagi evaluasi daya dukung lingkungan dan penyusunan strategi konservasi adaptif untuk menjaga stabilitas hidrologi jangka panjang.

Abstract

The Sangkulirang–Mangkalihat karst landscape in East Kalimantan possesses exceptional bio-geocultural value and has historically been safeguarded by the Dayak Basap Indigenous community. While Indigenous and Community Conserved Areas (ICCAs) and Geoparks both aim to promote sustainable land management, the synergistic integration of Indigenous spiritual-ecological practices within formal Geopark frameworks remains underexplored, particularly in tropical karst environments. To address this research gap, this study examined the integration of ICCAs within the Geopark framework to promote participatory conservation and responsible tourism. Employing a qualitative methodology comprising ethnographic fieldwork, in-depth interviews with Indigenous stakeholders, and field observations, this research evaluated traditional conservation mechanisms. The findings revealed that the traditional governance systems and cultural rituals of the Dayak Basap community maintained ecological and spiritual balance, reflecting the core principles of ICCAs. The study identified three specific ICCAs—Mengkuris Cave, Mount Kepang, and Kiamplasan—that uniquely integrated heritage, ecological, and community values. The integration of these frameworks demonstrated a strong complementary relationship; ICCAs provided social, cultural, and spiritual foundations, while Geoparks offered institutional recognition, technical support, and international networks to support sustainable geotourism. These findings provided important policy implications, suggesting that regional and national governments should formally incorporate ICCA recognition into Geopark zoning regulations to strengthen the legal protection of Indigenous governance systems. Ultimately, this synergy established a replicable model for responsible tourism that balances biodiversity conservation, cultural resilience, and equitable development, providing a critical framework for advancing global socio-ecological sustainability efforts.
