Abstract

Mangrove Ecotourism in Tanjung Batu is one of the unique tourist attractions on Lombok Island, featuring a scenic 11-hectare mangrove area with dense vegetation coverage. The site is equipped with several facilities, including a 417-meter wooden bridge, several gazebos, selfie spots, a homestay, and a café. The ecotourism management is handled by the Tourism Awareness Group (Pokdarwis) of Sekotong Tengah Village. This destination is quite popular, with no fewer than 300 tourists visiting each month. However, this area is prone to climate-related disaster risks such as tidal floods, strong winds, high waves, floods, and droughts. Additionally, the ecotourism management has mainly focused on physical aspects and lacks sufficient managerial skills for implementing a sustainable governance system. The proposed solution is to strengthen the Pokdarwis management to improve ecotourism governance, optimizing its potential to deliver greater social, economic, and environmental value while contributing to climate change adaptation and mitigation efforts. The conclusion from the community service activity is that to address these challenges, the community is committed to preserving the mangrove ecosystem, preventing disturbances from both internal and external factors, and managing ecotourism in a way that benefits the surrounding community by reducing climate-related disaster risks. Priority activities include mangrove rehabilitation and enrichment, beach cleanup, monthly management meetings, semi-annual evaluations, and promptly developing plans to strengthen the fishermen's economy through involvement in marine tourism packages

Abstract

Climate change affects agroforestry production and community resilience in forest areas. This study aims to: (1) identify vulnerabilities of forest products to climate change; (2) analyze community adaptation strategies; and (3) assess resilience levels of forest-adjacent communities. The research applied descriptive methods via field observations, interviews, and focus group discussions. From 74 residents, random sampling was used (Slovin method, 10% margin of error). Variables included economic, psychological, and social-institutional aspects. Resilience was assessed using a scoring system integrating Reivich & Shatté’s theory and a Likert scale, categorized into five levels: very high to very low. Results show that key vulnerabilities in the Sesaot forest area include harvest failures of major crops (e.g., durian, mangosteen, avocado, rambutan, cacao, coffee), with losses reaching 60–80%. Communities adapted through stratified agroforestry systems and strengthening local institutions. Resilience levels were high overall—economically moderate, but socially and psychologically strong. The study recommends improving economic resilience by reducing crop failure risks, including through the establishment of plant health clinics

Abstract

This study examines the social, economic, and institutional characteristics of communities in the southern coastal region of West Lombok. The research was conducted in six villages within the Lembar and Sekotong sub-districts using observation, interviews, and focus group discussions (FGDs). The findings reveal that coastal communities possess strong social capital, as reflected in their solidarity and mutual cooperation in addressing shared challenges. Their sources of livelihood are diverse, ranging from fishing, farming, and livestock raising to small-scale enterprises. Annual household incomes range from IDR 8.7 to 15.6 million. On a per capita basis, income is estimated at approximately IDR 5,958 to 12,534 per person per year. It is recommended that further research be conducted on strategies to enhance the economic resilience of coastal communities in anticipation of climate change

Abstract

Budidaya lebah tanpa sengat (Trigona sp.) merupakan usaha hasil hutan bukan kayu yang berpotensi memperkuat pendapatan rumah tangga pedesaan, tetapi pengembangannya memerlukan informasi ekonomi yang dihubungkan dengan kondisi internal dan eksternal usaha. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis pendapatan budidaya Trigona sp. dan merumuskan strategi pengembangan yang sesuai dengan kondisi kelompok peternak di Desa Taman Sari, Kecamatan Gunungsari, Kabupaten Lombok Barat. Penelitian dilaksanakan pada Maret-April 2026 dengan desain deskriptif kuantitatif yang didukung data kualitatif. Seluruh 20 peternak aktif dijadikan responden melalui metode sensus, sedangkan faktor strategis diidentifikasi melalui Focus Group Discussion dengan empat informan kunci. Analisis meliputi biaya, penerimaan, pendapatan, serta matriks IFAS-EFAS dan SWOT. Rata-rata biaya produksi sebesar Rp458.225 per peternak per tahun. Sebagian besar responden memiliki pekerjaan utama di luar budidaya lebah; pendapatan rata-rata mencapai Rp862.700 di Dusun Medas Bentaur dan Rp906.850 di Dusun Medas Munawarah per peternak per tahun, sehingga dalam konteks responden penelitian usaha ini berperan sebagai sumber pendapatan tambahan. Posisi SWOT berada pada Kuadran I dengan koordinat X=1,02 dan Y=0,42. Temuan menunjukkan bahwa peningkatan skala produksi perlu disertai pengendalian biaya, standardisasi mutu, dan penguatan pemasaran. Kontribusi penelitian terutama bersifat empiris dan kontekstual dengan mengaitkan kinerja ekonomi dua kelompok peternak dengan diagnosis strategis pada lokasi yang sama. Stingless bee (Trigona sp.) cultivation is a non-timber forest product enterprise with potential to strengthen rural household income, but its development requires economic information to be linked with the internal and external conditions of the business. This study analyzed farm income and formulated a context-specific development strategy for beekeeper groups in Taman Sari Village, Gunungsari District, West Lombok Regency. The study was conducted in March-April 2026 using a quantitative descriptive design supported by qualitative data. All 20 active beekeepers were included through a census, while strategic factors were identified through a focus group discussion involving four key informants. The analysis covered production costs, revenue, income, Internal Factor Analysis Summary, External Factor Analysis Summary, and SWOT. Average production cost was IDR 458,225 per beekeeper per year. Most respondents had primary occupations outside beekeeping; average annual income was IDR 862,700 in Medas Bentaur Hamlet and IDR 906,850 in Medas Munawarah Hamlet, indicating that the activity served as a supplementary income source in the study context. The SWOT position was in Quadrant I, with coordinates X=1.02 and Y=0.42. Production expansion should therefore be accompanied by cost control, product quality standardization, and stronger marketing. The study's contribution is primarily empirical and contextual, linking economic performance of two local beekeeper groups with strategic diagnosis in the same setting.

Abstract

Pengembangan gula aren sebagai hasil hutan bukan kayu (HHBK) pada skema perhutanan sosial memerlukan pemahaman terpadu mengenai proses produksi, kinerja ekonomi usaha, dan distribusi harga sepanjang saluran pemasaran. Penelitian terdahulu umumnya membahas proses produksi, kelayakan usaha, atau pemasaran secara terpisah, sehingga keterkaitan antara karakteristik produksi, biaya usaha, dan kinerja pemasaran pada tingkat kelompok tani hutan masih terbatas. Penelitian ini bertujuan mendeskripsikan proses dan karakteristik produksi gula aren, menganalisis biaya, penerimaan, dan pendapatan usaha, mengidentifikasi saluran pemasaran, serta menghitung margin pemasaran dan farmer’s share di Desa Gelangsar, Kecamatan Gunungsari, Kabupaten Lombok Barat. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan deskriptif kuantitatif; responden produsen ditentukan melalui sensus anggota KTH Hijau Makmur, sedangkan lembaga pemasaran ditelusuri dengan snowball sampling. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa gula aren masih diproduksi secara tradisional dalam bentuk gula cetak dengan cetakan bambu. Terdapat tiga saluran pemasaran, yaitu produsen–konsumen, produsen–pengecer–konsumen, dan produsen–pengepul–pengecer–konsumen. Margin total masing-masing saluran adalah Rp0, Rp2.000, dan Rp2.000 per unit, dengan farmer’s share masing-masing 100%, 80%, dan 80%. Namun, data volume nira, jumlah unit produksi, dan komponen biaya masih memerlukan rekonsiliasi sebelum digunakan sebagai estimasi akhir pendapatan. Temuan ini menegaskan pentingnya pencatatan biaya yang lengkap dan penguatan pemasaran untuk meningkatkan nilai ekonomi gula aren sebagai HHBK. Palm sugar development as a non-timber forest product (NTFP) under a social forestry scheme requires an integrated understanding of production, farm-level economic performance, and price distribution across marketing channels. Previous studies have generally examined production processes, business feasibility, or marketing separately; therefore, the links between production characteristics, production costs, and marketing performance at the forest-farmer-group level remain insufficiently documented. This study aims to describe palm sugar production and product characteristics, analyze recorded costs, revenues, and income, identify marketing channels, and calculate marketing margins and farmer’s share in Gelangsar Village, Gunungsari Subdistrict, West Lombok Regency. A descriptive quantitative approach was applied. Producer respondents were identified through a census of members of the Hijau Makmur Forest Farmer Group, while marketing intermediaries were traced using snowball sampling. The results show that palm sugar is still produced traditionally as molded sugar using bamboo molds. Three marketing channels were identified: producer–consumer, producer–retailer–consumer, and producer–collector–retailer–consumer. Total marketing margins were Rp0, Rp2,000, and Rp2,000 per unit, respectively, while farmer’s shares were 100%, 80%, and 80%. However, sap volume, product-unit totals, and cost components require reconciliation before final income estimates are reported. These findings highlight the importance of complete cost recording and stronger marketing arrangements for improving the economic value of palm sugar as an NTFP.

Abstract

Perhutanan Sosial memberikan akses legal kepada masyarakat untuk mengelola kawasan hutan secara berkelanjutan, namun efektivitas pengelolaan lahan perlu dinilai berdasarkan kondisi ekologis dan hasil ekonomi pada tingkat tapak. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis efektivitas pengelolaan lahan Perhutanan Sosial pada berbagai strata luas garapan petani aren di Desa Gelangsar, Kecamatan Gunung Sari, Kabupaten Lombok Barat. Penelitian dilaksanakan pada April-Mei 2026 dengan pendekatan deskriptif kuantitatif, sedangkan informasi kualitatif dari wawancara digunakan sebagai data pendukung. Seluruh 30 petani aren anggota KTH Hijau Makmur dijadikan responden melalui metode sensus. Data dikumpulkan melalui observasi, wawancara terstruktur, kuesioner, dan inventarisasi vegetasi. Analisis meliputi kerapatan tanaman, indeks keanekaragaman Shannon-Wiener, nilai produksi, biaya dan pendapatan, serta skor efektivitas yang diadaptasi dari Markum et al. (2023) berdasarkan kerapatan tanaman dan nilai produksi. Kerapatan tertinggi terdapat pada Strata I (321 tanaman/ha), diikuti Strata II (140 tanaman/ha) dan Strata III (79 tanaman/ha). Keanekaragaman Strata I dan II rendah pada seluruh tingkat pertumbuhan, sedangkan Strata III sedang pada semai, pancang, dan tiang serta rendah pada tingkat pohon. Berdasarkan angka yang dilaporkan, pendapatan per hektar tertinggi terdapat pada Strata II. Skor efektivitas menunjukkan Strata I didominasi kategori kurang efektif, Strata II didominasi tidak efektif, dan seluruh responden Strata III tidak efektif. Temuan ini menunjukkan bahwa efektivitas pengelolaan lahan menurut model skor terutama berkaitan dengan intensitas tanaman produktif dan nilai produksi, bukan semata-mata luas lahan garapan. Social forestry provides legal access for local communities to manage forest areas sustainably, but land-management effectiveness needs to be assessed using ecological and economic indicators at the site level. This study analyzed the effectiveness of social forestry land management across cultivated-area strata of sugar palm farmers in Gelangsar Village, Gunung Sari Subdistrict, West Lombok Regency. The study was conducted from April to May 2026 using a descriptive quantitative approach, with qualitative information from interviews used to support interpretation. All 30 sugar palm farmers belonging to KTH Hijau Makmur were included through a census. Data were collected through field observation, structured interviews, questionnaires, and vegetation inventories. Analyses included plant density, the Shannon-Wiener diversity index, production value, costs and income, and an effectiveness score adapted from Markum et al. (2023) based on plant density and production value. Plant density was highest in Stratum I (321 plants/ha), followed by Stratum II (140 plants/ha) and Stratum III (79 plants/ha). Diversity was low at all growth stages in Strata I and II, whereas Stratum III showed moderate diversity at the seedling, sapling, and pole stages and low diversity at the tree stage. Based on the reported figures, income per hectare was highest in Stratum II. Effectiveness scores were dominated by the less-effective category in Stratum I and the ineffective category in Stratum II, while all respondents in Stratum III were classified as ineffective. These results indicate that land-management effectiveness under the scoring model is associated more closely with productive-plant intensity and production value than with cultivated-area size alone.
