Abstract

Forest-dependent communities face significant challenges due to environmental changes and economic pressures. Understanding how these communities diversify their livelihoods is crucial for enhancing their resilience and sustainability. This study aims to examine the strategies employed by forest-dependent communities to diversify their income sources and reduce reliance on forest resources. A qualitative case study approach was utilized, involving in-depth interviews and focus group discussions with community members in a selected forest-dependent area. The findings reveal that communities engage in various livelihood diversification strategies, including agriculture, handicrafts, and eco-tourism, to mitigate risks associated with forest dependency. Additionally, the study highlights the importance of social networks and local knowledge in facilitating successful diversification. The results indicate that while diversification has improved economic stability, challenges remain, including limited access to markets and resources. The study concludes that promoting livelihood diversification among forest-dependent communities is essential for enhancing their resilience and sustainability. Policymakers should focus on supporting these communities through capacity-building initiatives and improving access to markets and resources.

Abstract

Quantum radar is an innovative technology with great potential for detecting hidden objects with high precision. The background of this research is the need for technology that is able to detect objects behind material barriers with better accuracy than conventional radar, especially in search, rescue, and security applications. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of quantum radar in detecting hidden objects based on the type of barrier material, thickness, and detection distance. The research was conducted using an experimental method with a quantum radar prototype that was tested on various types of barrier materials, such as wood, concrete, and metal, in a controlled environment. Data is collected to evaluate the detection accuracy at a specific material thickness and the detection distance is between 1 to 7 meters. Quantitative analysis is used to identify patterns of relationships between material parameters, thickness, distance, and accuracy. The results show that quantum radar has the highest accuracy in wood materials with an accuracy rate of 89%, followed by concrete (78%), and metal (65%). The thickness of the material and the greater detection distance lead to a significant decrease in accuracy. The conclusion of this study indicates that quantum radar is effective for detecting objects behind non-conductive materials, but requires further development to overcome the weaknesses of reflective and long-range materials.

Abstract

Globalization has increasingly affected forest resources and local communities around the world. The growing demand for natural resources driven by global markets has led to both positive and negative consequences for forests and the people dependent on them. Forest ecosystems, crucial for biodiversity and climate regulation, are often threatened by logging, land conversion, and unsustainable practices associated with globalization. The interaction between economic development, environmental degradation, and local community livelihoods has become a critical area of study in sustainable development and environmental conservation. This study aims to examine the impact of globalization on forest resources and local communities, with a focus on both the challenges and opportunities arising from global economic integration. It seeks to understand how globalization influences forest degradation, conservation efforts, and the socio-economic conditions of indigenous and rural populations. The research employs a mixed-methods approach, combining qualitative case studies from various regions with quantitative analysis of forest resource depletion trends. Data were gathered from interviews with local communities, government reports, and forest resource databases. Statistical tools were used to analyze the correlation between globalization indicators (e.g., trade volumes, foreign investments) and deforestation rates. The study finds that while globalization has led to economic growth in some areas, it has also accelerated deforestation and degraded local ecosystems. Communities dependent on forests for livelihood have experienced both disruption of traditional practices and exposure to new economic opportunities. However, the benefits of globalization have been uneven, with wealthier communities often benefiting more than the most vulnerable. Globalization presents a complex challenge for forest resources and local communities. Sustainable solutions require a balance between economic development and environmental conservation, with inclusive policies that protect the interests of indigenous and rural populations.
