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

The feasibility of tourist attractions in mangrove forests can create good economic opportunities, increase regional income and expand employment opportunities for surrounding residents. This study aims to analyze the feasibility of tourist attractions in the Cuku Nyinyi Mangrove Forest. Data collection is in the form of a survey by distributing questionnaires to tourists. Data analysis uses a scoring method based on the Guidelines for Analysis of Operational Areas of Natural Tourism Objects and Attractions of the Directorate General of PHKA in 2003. The results of the study showed that the attraction received a feasibility index of 78%, accessibility 86%, amenities 75% and additional services 85% so that the overall average is 81% which is included in the category of feasible to be developed. The level of feasibility of the four components shows that it is feasible to be developed, but there are still some shortcomings that need to be further developed in each component.

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.
