Abstract

The watershed has a strategic role in maintaining hydrological balance, ecosystem integrity, and community welfare. However, the Rungan watershed is under threat from deforestation and ecosystem damage, therefore a study is needed that considers all related aspects as the basis for making a management strategy for the Rungan watershed. This study aims to find out the priority problems faced by the Watershed Rungan and the aspects of its causes. Furthermore, this research also seeks to formulate priority solutions that can overcome the problems faced by the Rungan watershed. Using qualitative and quantitative approaches, this study applies the Analytical Network Process (ANP) in formulating the priority strategy for the management of the Watershed.  This study found that ecological problems are considered the main problem. Alternative solutions that have been successfully formulated include ecological restoration, economic recovery, and institutional strengthening and coordination between stakeholders. Zoning regulation is a priority for area management and is the main strategy for the management of the Rungan watershed by regulating various programs such as forest rehabilitation, ecotourism, and environmentally friendly land use. For these programs to be carried out in a synergistic manner, it is necessary to coordinate and synergize programs between relevant stakeholders.

Abstract

The Taberau plant (Phragmites australis) grows abundantly across the peat swamps of Central Kalimantan, particularly in Tanjung Sangalang Village. Despite its high biomass potential, it is widely dismissed as an invasive weed and remains underutilized. This community service program aims to empower local farmer groups by introducing a simple, local wisdom-integrated pyrolysis method to convert Taberau into multifunctional biochar. The program was executed through a comprehensive framework including local coordination, site surveys, Focus Group Discussions (FGD), simple reactor fabrication, hands-on demonstrations, and empirical evaluations. The production trials demonstrated that 20 kg of raw Taberau biomass yielded 5 kg of biochar, achieving an efficiency rate of approximately 25%. The training workshop, which engaged 40 local farmers, significantly elevated participants' technical comprehension, as evidenced by post-test scores exceeding 90% across all pedagogical indicators. Furthermore, 85% of respondents reported a substantial increase in environmental literacy, and 87.5% validated the tangible socio-economic benefits of the program. Ultimately, this initiative serves as a highly replicable model for circular economy practices in regions facing similar biomass management challenges.
