Abstract

The mangrove forests of Perlis Village, West Brandan, Langkat have suffered degradation due to illegal logging, agricultural conversion, and seawater intrusion, causing severe ecological and socioeconomic challenges. This study aimed to restore the mangrove ecosystem and improve access to clean water, addressing the community's urgent needs while supporting sustainable development goals. The project significantly enhanced the livelihoods of local fishermen, provided reliable clean water access, and fostered environmental stewardship. By combining ecological restoration with infrastructure development, it offered a replicable model for addressing environmental and social challenges in coastal communities. A participatory approach was employed, involving community engagement in planning, capacity-building workshops, and ecological restoration activities. Mangrove saplings were planted, and a clean water supply system was established through collaborative efforts between community members and external stakeholders. The project successfully restored 5 hectares of mangroves, increasing biodiversity and reducing coastal erosion. The survival rate of planted saplings was 85%. The clean water system expanded access from 40% to 85% of households, significantly reducing waterborne diseases and the time spent fetching water, especially for women and children. The initiative demonstrated that integrated community-driven interventions can address complex environmental and social issues effectively. The outcomes align with the study's objectives, providing valuable insights into sustainable development practices and the empowerment of coastal communities.

Abstract

Forest Management Units (FMU) are established to realize the effective and sustainable management of forests and other management plans, including organization, implementation management, as well as control and supervision. The management of forests by FMU is closely tied to the role of existing human resources, both qualitatively and quantitatively, as well as the rate of deforestation. To understand the extent of FMU's performance success, an instrument in the form of a Performance Assessment is needed as an evaluation tool for achieving forest management, one of which is by using the questionnaire based on the Technical Guidelines for Assessing Effective Forest Management Institutions in Supporting Independent Communities and Sustainable Forests from the Director of Forest Utilization Planning Development. The performance assessment variables are then processed using cluster analysis to obtain groupings of FMUs in North Sumatra Province based on clusters and the average effectiveness value of FMUs. The research results show that there are 3 Clusters with details for Cluster I consisting of 7 (seven) Units, Cluster II consisting of 11 (eleven) Units, and Cluster III consisting of 15 (fifteen) Units. The characteristics obtained in Cluster 1 indicate that all variables are above the population average, which represents Effective FMUs
