Abstract

Geothermal Power Plants are one of the geothermal energies that can be used as a source of electricity. One of the geothermal powers in Lampung is the Ulubelu PLTP located in Tanggamus Regency. As an energy-producing agency, Ulubelu PLTP also contributes to preserving flora and fauna in their work area. This is shown through the planting of several types of wood plants to improve the flora in their work area. This study aims to record the types of plants that exist, the abundance of their types, climatic and edaphic factors, as well as recommendations for types that can be used for the enrichment of flora types in the Ulubelu PLTP work area. The vegetation analysis method used to collect flora data is a census method divided into 5 observation lines. The dominant and codominant types found at the tree level are Acacia mangium and Erythrina variegata, at the pole level Leucaena leucocephala and Toona sureni, at the pile level Gliricidia sepium and Syzygium myrtifolium, and at the lower plant level are Imperata cylindrica and Mikania micrantha. In addition to commercial types, some types have the potential to be invasive in the Ulubelu PLTP. The study also recommends that plant species be restored to increase species diversity and vegetation density. The types recommended for restoration based on vegetation analysis data are those that have aesthetic value, those that produce fruit or flowers that can present animals, and the protected types or types that can be used in addition to their wood.

Abstract

Community perspectives are important for wildlife, as they impact their contribution to wildlife conservation. This study aims to analyze community perspectives on wildlife in the Talang Ponijan and Sidodadi I forest farmer groups, Lampung Province, Indonesia. The method in this study uses a qualitative approach through in-depth interviews, involved observation, and documentation studies. The data collected was analyzed descriptively to illustrate how the community's perspective on the existence of wildlife. The results showed that there are similarities in the views of the Talang Ponijan and Sidodadi I communities towards the existence of wildlife. The people of Talang Ponijan and Sidodadi I have a negative view of the existence of wild boar (Sus scrofa), bear (Helarctos malayanus), bajing (Callosciurus notatus), tiger (Panthera tigris), monkey (Macaca fascicularis), and macaque (Macaca nemestrina). Negative views arise because they are considered crop pests and destroy gardens. They are also considered a nuisance and a threat to safety. Gibbon (Symphalangus syndactylus), bats (Chiroptera sp.), and birds have a positive impact as they act as seed dispersers, pest controllers, and coffee quality indicators. However, their behavior towards wildlife sustainability shows differences. Some people in Talang Ponijan are still involved in practices that harm wildlife, such as monoculture, poaching and land clearing. Meanwhile, the Sidodadi I community tends to prioritize wildlife-sustainable agricultural practices such as shade coffee systems and planting high canopy trees. The government needs to provide guidance to increase community capacity and strict and effective law enforcement is important to prevent illegal activities.

Abstract

Sebangau National Park, a peatland conservation area, is particularly vulnerable to forest fires. These conflagrations are most prevalent during the dry season. The objective of this research is to detect and analyze burned areas in Sebangau National Park using the Google Earth Engine (GEE) platform. The analysis will utilize Landsat 8 satellite imagery from 2015. The methods employed for detecting areas that have undergone combustion include the utilization of Normalized Burn Ratio (NBR) and Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) indices. The analysis reveals that the burned area, as determined by the NBR index, encompasses 27,567.92 hectares. When assessed using NDVI, the burned area increases to 35,163.44 hectares. The accuracy assessment reveals that the NDVI index exhibits an Overall Accuracy (OA) value of 97.71% and Kappa Accuracy (KA) of 81.46%, which exceeds the NBR by 0.07% and 1.24%, respectively. This finding highlights the enhanced precision of NDVI in detecting vegetation changes resulting from fire events. Consequently, NDVI can serve as a crucial reference point in post-fire mitigation and rehabilitation efforts within peat conservation areas.

Abstract

The Index and Sustainability Status play an important role in ensuring the sustainable management of Forest Resources. The objective of this study is to analyze the index value and sustainability status of the management of Wan Abdur Rachman Grand Forest Park in the Sumber Sari Forest Farmers Group in social and economic dimensions. This research employs qualitative and quantitative approaches through observations and interviews. The community sample was obtained using a census method. The data collected were analyzed using multidimensional scaling with the Rapid Fisheries Assessment software. This software is used to assess sustainability status in social and economic aspects of the management. The research results indicate that the forest management in Wan Abdur Rachman Grand Forest Park by Sumber Sari Forest Farmers Group is categorized as quite sustainable. This status is reflected by the high sensitivity values in the community income attribute and accessibility (economic dimension), as well as the community participation attribute in management and the level of education of the community (social dimension). The improvement of road infrastructure, the selection of high-value commodities, training in forest product processing, and the socialization of forest product marketing need to be carried out by the government to achieve a status of very sustainable management.

Abstract

The Dayak Benuaq in Kampung Lotaq possess local wisdom in using the plants around them to meet household needs. The diversity of plant species used for household needs has been maintained until now. This research aims to examine the types of plants and local wisdom in using plants for household needs among the Benuaq Dayak tribe in Kampung Lotaq, Muara Lawa, East Kalimantan. This research applies purposive sampling in selecting informants. The number of informants in this study is 15 people. The results of this study show that there are 20 species of plants used for household needs, namely 10 types used as firewood (fuel) and 10 types used to make household utensils. The plant family that dominates for household needs is Arecaceae. Plants that are often used as fuel are kelepapak (Vitex pinnata L) and rubber (Hevea brasiliensis Muell.Arg.) because they dry quickly and produce a lot of embers, while the plants commonly used to make household utensils are uwe or rattan (Calamus sp.) and teluyent or ulin (Eusideroxylon zwageri) because they are strong and durable. The Dayak Benuaq community in Kampung Lotaq still preserves local wisdom by utilizing plants to meet household needs.

Abstract

In general, particle board uses formaldehyde-based synthetic adhesives. One of the ways of minimizing the use of synthetic adhesives is by using natural adhesives such as citric acid and sucrose. Previous studies on particle board particularly regarding the physical and mechanical properties of particle board made of dregs and bark fiber of sago (Metroxylon spp) based on layer composition and citric acid-sucrose ratio, show that in addition to its physical and mechanical properties, the quality of particle board is also determined by its resistance to attacks by wood destroying organisms such as termites (Coptotermes curvignathus). This study used a completely randomized factorial design (CRD) with two factors, namely layer composition (70/30, 60/40, 50/50) and citric acid- sucrose ratio (0/100, 25/75, 75/ 25, 100/0). The research found that the value of weight loss in the sample that was fed to termites at the end of the test was 7.32-13.22%. The highest average weight loss value was found in the particle layer composition of 50/50 and the citric acid to sucrose ratio of 0/100, which was 13.22%. Meanwhile, the lowest average weight loss value was found in particleboard with the particle layer composition of 70/30 and the citric acid to sucrose ratio of 100/0, which was 7,3207%. The highest percentage of termite mortality, which reached 100%, was found in particle board with the particle layer composition of 70/30 with the citric acid to sucrose ratio of 100/0. Meanwhile, the lowest percentage of termite mortality was 89.81% in a 50/50 layer composition with a 0/100 citric acid to sucrose ratio. Particle board made of sago fiber and bark with a layer composition of 70/30 and a ratio of citric acid to sucrose of 100/0, classified under class 2 durability, is the optimum treatment to resist termite attack.

Abstract

Pine resin is a valuable non-timber forest product that serves as an important source of income for communities residing near forested areas. Despite ongoing extraction and utilization, limited information exists regarding the quantitative balance of this natural resource from initial reserves to final stocks. This study aims to clearly evaluate the physical and monetary balance of pine resin resources in a selected village in Gowa District South Sulawesi. Data were collected through interviews, field observations, and literature review. A purposive sampling method was employed to select 20 active pine resin tappers as respondents. The physical balance was determined by calculating the initial stock, annual additions, and the final stock, while the monetary balance was derived by converting final physical stock into monetary value. The results show that the final physical stock of pine resin reaches 23.584 kg per year with a corresponding monetary value of IDR 1,420,348,288. The findings clearly indicate that pine resin resources experience continuous annual depreciation when regeneration through pine tree planting is absent. These results emphasize the urgent need for sustainable pine resin management strategies to maintain resource availability and long-term community livelihoods.

Abstract

Climate change is a global issue that requires mitigation strategies in various sectors, including forestry. Agroforestry, which combines trees with agricultural crops, is considered a strategy that can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by increasing carbon storage. This study aims to estimate and analyze the amount of carbon stored in three different land cover types found in a landscape of forest management unit (FMU), namely agroforestry coffee, monoculture coffee, and forest. Carbon stock analysis was conducted using a non-destructive approach on 36 sample plots evenly distributed across the three land cover types. The results showed that the highest carbon stock was found in forested area, followed by agroforestry coffee and monoculture coffee. However, the agroforestry system showed a fairly high carbon storage potential and was close to forest land, especially due to the presence of species such as Swietenia macrophylla and Coffea canephora. These findings indicate that the agroforestry system has great potential in climate change mitigation strategies by increasing carbon stocks, making it worthy of being an alternative to support forest conservation and rehabilitation.
