Abstract

Strengthening social bonding within forest farmer group institutions is essential for the sustainability of community-based forest management. This study aims to formulate strategies for strengthening social bonding by identifying its driving and restraining factors. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and expert assessments. The analysis integrated Force Field Analysis (FFA) to map drivers and barriers, and the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), based one expert Assessments, to prioritize these factors. The results show that leadership legitimacy, a culture of mutual cooperation, conservation awareness, active participation, and strong social networks are the main driving factors. Prominent constraints include leadership centralization, unequal member contributions, undocumented norms, technical capacity gaps, and limited external networks. Strengthening strategies include leadership distribution, reinforcement of collective activities, documentation of norms and values, enhancement of technical capacity, and expansion of external networks. These findings provide an evidence-based framework for strengthening social capital and supporting the institutional sustainability of forest farmer groups.

Abstract

Selecting appropriate plant species based on land suitability evaluation is essential for developing sustainable agroforestry systems in Social Forestry regions. This study assessed land suitability in the Social Forestry area of Barru Regency, South Sulawesi, Indonesia (04°06?–04°47? S; 119°32?–119°49? E). Data were obtained from six sampling points through field observations, soil analysis, and farmer interviews. Parameters analyzed included soil pH, organic carbon, texture, erosion hazard, and water availability. Land suitability classification was based on the FAO framework and supported by GIS mapping. Limiting factors such as nutrient retention (nr), rooting media (rc), and erosion hazard (fh) were evaluated to determine current and potential suitability classes. Results indicated considerable variability across sites. Soil pH was acidic (4.18–6.26), organic carbon ranged from 1.71% to 2.30%, and soils were mainly loam to sandy clay loam. The landscape was characterized by steep slopes (25–45%) and elevations of 150–450 m above sea level. Most areas were classified as marginally suitable (S3), though improvements such as liming, organic matter addition, and erosion control could enhance suitability to moderately suitable (S2). Proposed agroforestry designs combine primary crops coffee, candlenut, aren palm, mahogany, and durian with complementary species including cacao, rambutan, and sengon. These combinations are expected to balance production, conservation, and shade functions according to site conditions. This study emphasizes the role of land evaluation in optimizing agroforestry planning within social forestry landscapes. Findings provide practical recommendations for integrating ecological sustainability with community-based resource management.

Abstract

Avifauna is a type of wildlife that can be easily found in various locations and serves as an indicator of environmental quality. Avifauna plays roles such as seed dispersal, assisting pollination, preying on other animals, and so on. It holds significant importance in wetland ecosystems. One of the most crucial ecological functions of avifauna is as a bioindicator of wetland quality, closely related to its position in the food chain. This study aims to determine the number and types of avifauna, understand the abundance of avifauna species in the waters of Limboto Lake, and identify their conservation status. The research was conducted from January to March 2025. Observations were made using the Point Count method with three (3) randomly placed points. The results identified 13 bird species belonging to 6 orders and 7 families. The percentage of species per family was highest for Passeridae at 20%, while the percentage of individual birds per family was dominated by the Ardeidae family at 47.83%. The distribution of individual birds per order was highest for the order Passeriformes with 282 individuals, and lowest for the order Charadriiformes with 11 individuals. The highest avifauna abundance was the Eurasian tree sparrow (Passer montanus) at 20.52%, indicating high criteria, while the lowest relative abundance was the Greater crested tern (Thalasseus bergii) at 1.59% and the Purple heron (Ardea purpurea) at 1.30%. The diversity index (H') was 2.14%, indicating moderate abundance criteria; evenness (E) was 0.33%, indicating a stable species distribution index; and richness (Dmg) was 1.84%, classified as a low index.

Abstract

Imperata cylindrica is an aggressive and difficult-to-control weed in production forest areas. The use of plant-based bioherbicides offers an environmentally friendly alternative to reduce reliance on synthetic herbicides. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of extracts from Filicium decipiens and Swietenia macrophylla in suppressing the growth of weeds. The study was conducted using a Competly Randomized Design with five treatments: control, 25% and 50% F. decipiens extract, and 25% and 50% mahogany extract, and replicated 5 times. The parameters observed included changes in leaf color, survival rate, root length and diameter. The results showed that the 50% F. decipiens extract was most effective in reducing root diameter and plant survival rate (only 20% survived), while the 50% mahogany extract most effectively inhibited root length. The browning of leaves indicated tissue damage caused by phenolic compounds, flavonoids, and saponins. This study demonstrated that F. decipiens leaf and mahogany extracts have potential as effective and environmentally friendly bioherbicides for controlling sedge weeds.

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi tingkat partisipasi masyarakat dan menganalisis hambatan dalam pelestarian ekosistem mangrove berbasis perikanan berkelanjutan di Desa Bangga, Kecamatan Paguyaman Pantai, Kabupaten Boalemo. Ekosistem mangrove di wilayah ini memiliki peran penting sebagai habitat ikan, pelindung pesisir, serta sumber daya ekonomi lokal. Namun, aktivitas manusia seperti penebangan liar dan peternakan tak terkendali menyebabkan degradasi lingkungan yang signifikan. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode deskriptif kualitatif dengan pengumpulan data melalui observasi, wawancara, dokumentasi, dan penyebaran kuesioner kepada 33 responden. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa meskipun pengetahuan masyarakat tentang mangrove tergolong tinggi (skor rata-rata 2,98), tingkat partisipasi masih tergolong sedang (skor rata-rata 2,17), dengan partisipasi yang lebih tinggi dalam penyebaran informasi dan kesadaran lingkungan, namun rendah dalam keterlibatan diskusi dan kontribusi finansial. Hambatan utama antara lain infrastruktur pendukung yang tidak memadai, keterbatasan ekonomi, dan kurangnya program penyuluhan yang intensif. Penelitian ini merekomendasikan peningkatan kolaborasi antara pemerintah, masyarakat, dan sektor swasta melalui program pendidikan, rehabilitasi mangrove, serta insentif berbasis ekonomi seperti ekowisata berkelanjutan. Keterlibatan aktif masyarakat dalam semua tahap pengelolaan mangrove sangat penting untuk menjaga keseimbangan ekologi dan meningkatkan kesejahteraan pesisir.Kata Kunci: partisipasi masyarakat, mangrove, pelestarian lingkungan, perikanan berkelanjutan, Desa Bangga.
