Abstract

Dieng Plateau is a protected area whose main function is to protect the preservation of the function of natural resources, artificial resources, as well as cultural and historical values of the nation. Forest damage in the Dieng Plateau has reached 50 to 60%. The conversion of forest functions to land for seasonal crops, especially potatoes has damaged the forest function area as a protected forest. The problem that is still the biggest challenge in efforts to restore Dieng as a protected area is the rehabilitation of critical land in community-owned land areas. Widespread land degradation occurs due to potato cultivation activities, the impact is that during the rainy season landslides occur in many residential points and along roads, floods that occur due to disruption of watersheds by landslides, and drought during the dry season. This research was conducted using qualitative methods with purposive selection of research locations. The research location is in Tambi Village, Wonosobo Regency, which is a conservation area through coffee cultivation. Observations and in-depth interviews were conducted. The results of this study indicate that community empowerment in Tambi Village is an important factor in efforts to revitalize the critical slopes of Dieng. This revitalization effort has been carried out by Bapak Romadhon for the last 12 years together with the surrounding community by planting coffee plants. Behind the success that has been achieved, there are many influencing factors, both external and internal. Many coffee farmers feel the benefits of growing coffee. The community began to realize that the activities they were doing so far were damaging the environment. Community empowerment and participation is a very important step for the recovery of critical slopes due to exploitation activities.

Abstract

Forest resources play an essential role in supporting the livelihoods of forest farming households. Households in this area depend heavily on forest-related activities as a source of income and livelihood. However, forest farming households are often faced with various challenges and uncertainties due to climate change, market fluctuations, limited access to land ownership, lack of infrastructure and technological support, and developments in socio-economic conditions that change the values and structure of people's lives. This study is a preliminary survey as an initial process of collecting information and data before carrying out the primary research. This preliminary survey aims to gain an initial understanding of the diversity of forest farmer household livelihoods. Data was collected through a rapid study of 30 households in Gandu Village. Then, data was identified according to information needs and planning the next steps. The results of this study show that forest farming households in Gandu Village diversify their livelihoods in both the agricultural and non-agricultural sectors. The diversity value in the non-agricultural sector shows an average figure of 2.1, which means that each household does not only depend on one source of income. However, they will diversify the number of livelihoods in the amount of 2.1 to meet their household's living needs. The findings of this preliminary survey can become initial data and contribute to further research.

Abstract

Temanggung robusta coffee is a potential plantation commodity in Central Java that has existed since the colonial era. Its development has gone through various policies, both from the top down and bottom up. This research was based on empirical facts and phenomena on the development of Temanggung robusta coffee. The researchers conducted participatory observations, discussions, and in-depth interviews with 15 informants. Data analysis was done through a socio-historical and descriptive approach to accurately understand the evidence, history, and correlations between phenomena. This study’s results prove that the transformation stage of Temanggung robusta coffee began in the era of forced cultivation of “Koffie Stelsel” through patron-client relationships. This development continues to experience socio-cultural shifts with a variety of different policies. Currently, three sectors are the main players in Temanggung robusta coffee (government, large private plantations, and the community). The factors causing the success of Temanggung coffee not to be achieved are 1) the large area of land but low productivity; 2) the process of randomly picking coffee; 3) policies that are not yet optimal; 4) minimal market share; 5) the capacity of extension agents in the coffee commodity is still low; 6) lack of cooperation between stakeholders.
