Abstract

Frequent natural disasters and extreme weather increase the vulnerability to climate change in rural communities living near forests. Climate change adaptation and mitigation strategies related to forest management should consider indigenous knowledge in accordance with local community conditions and needs. This study aimed to investigate the indigenous knowledge of forest management to cope with climate change challenges. The research was conducted in April - May 2024 in the southern slopes of Mount Slamet, Central Java (i.e., Gununglurah, Sokawera, and Sunyalangu Villages). The research approach uses Participatory Learning Action with descriptive-quantitative analysis based on interpretive and critical sociology. This study revealed that indigenous knowledge comprises three types of forest management. Firstly, the community categorized the forest into three types of space: sacred conservation forests (Tabet), protected forests in steep areas, and production forests using agroforestry. Secondly, the schedule of forest management activities was based on the traditional seasonal calendar (Pranatamangsa). Thirdly, plant types were selected based on their functions, i.e., productions, conservations, and spirituals.

Abstract

The canopy temperature of rice is a critical concern due to rising air temperatures and the increasing risk of heat damage. In this study, we investigated the canopy temperature difference (CTd) and canopy temperature depression (CTD) in the Japonica rice cultivars ‘Himenorin’ (HR) and ‘Nikomaru’ (NM). Additionally, we examined the effect of irrigating cooler water (ICWr) on canopy temperature, particularly its impact on CTD reduction, compared to a control plot. The results showed that CTd in HR was lower than in NM. Furthermore, CTD reached 2.23 °C in HR and 2.35 °C in NM under shallower ponding conditions. ICWr effectively reduced the canopy temperature in both cultivars and decreased CTD to a negative value. These findings highlight that ICWr can mitigate canopy temperature increases under more intense solar radiation and high air temperatures. Therefore, implementing ICWr in rice fields may serve as a potential countermeasure to reduce heat damage in rice by lowering canopy temperature. Further research is necessary to elucidate the underlying mechanisms and enhance strategies for mitigating heat exposure, ensuring rice resilience and sustainability in a changing climate.

Abstract

In the study area, water flow in rice fields was consistent throughout the year in the last decade, which reduced the urgency for strong institutional frameworks. Disputes over water allocation and the neglect of planting schedules between upstream, midstream, and downstream farmers show the need for stronger institutions. This study aims to work with farmers to integrate traditional knowledge into irrigation management. Using a qualitative approach, key informants—farmers, traditional leaders, and local officials—were purposively selected to capture diverse perspectives. The collaborative process involved building trust, dialogue, and joint problem-solving. Farmers proposed solutions rooted in local traditions: Mufakat (consensus) for communal maintenance, Alek Banda (harvest ceremonies) to strengthen unity, and matrilineal land systems to encourage participation. The study concludes that integrating these practices can enhance equitable and sustainable water governance.
