Abstract

Community-based collaborative management is increasingly adopted in conservation governance. However, previous studies have examined Collaborative Governance and Co-Management separately, providing limited understanding of how collaborative processes and authority-sharing interact in state-managed conservation areas. This study analyzed community-based collaborative management in Central Sulawesi Forest Park by integrating both perspectives. A descriptive qualitative case study involved 23 purposively selected informants representing government, Forest Farmer Groups, village governments, local communities, and civil society organizations. Data were collected through interviews, observations, questionnaires, and document analysis, analyzed using an interactive qualitative approach, and validated through source and method triangulation. Across eight analytical dimensions, collaborative governance facilitated stakeholder dialogue, institutional arrangements, facilitative leadership, and community participation, while co-management was reflected in shared management responsibilities, access to conservation benefits, and social learning. However, strategic authority remained with government under the legal framework for conservation management, whereas communities primarily performed operational roles. Community-based collaborative management has been effectively implemented through complementary governance rather than equal decision-making authority. This study integrates Collaborative Governance and Co-Management into a unified analytical framework and provides a context-specific interpretation of shared authority, showing that authority sharing in state-managed conservation areas is achieved through complementary roles, with governments retaining strategic authority and communities undertaking substantial operational responsibilities.

Abstract

Limited urban land and women's low technical capacity in integrated agriculture necessitate an adaptive, technology-based empowerment strategy. This study examines the level of understanding of aquaponics cultivation among members of the Dasawisma Melati PKK group in Tanamodindi Urban Village, Palu City. It identifies development constraints, opportunities, and strategic formulations. The novelty of this research lies in integrating a mixed-methods approach with SWOT-AHP analysis to empower urban PKK women's groups. This area remains under-investigated empirically in Indonesia. The study involved 13 active group members over eight weeks (October–December 2025). It used Focus Group Discussions (FGDs), Likert-scale questionnaires, in-depth interviews, field observations, and pre-tests and post-tests. Despite the small sample size (This approach is representative as it encompasses all active members directly involved in managing the Green Farm House facility. The cultivated commodities consisted of 350 African catfish (Clarias gariepinus) with a 6% feeding rate and 48 heads of lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.). The cultivation results showed that catfish biomass increased from 37 grams to 667 grams over eight weeks, with an 83.71% survival rate. The lettuce plants grew from 2 cm to 17–23 cm, with an average harvest weight of 156.3 grams per plant. Water quality remained stable at temperatures of 30–31 °C and a pH of 7. Although an increase in ammonia from 2.3 mg/L to 8.2 mg/L was observed—which theoretically approaches the toxicity threshold—it did not correlate with the high survival rate (; moderate positive correlation), thereby indicating potential fish adaptation or the effectiveness of the biofiltration system. Participants' understanding increased significantly from 54.02% to 85.13%. All variables, including program quality, participation, and socio-environmental benefits, shifted to the "very high" category. The Public Satisfaction Survey recorded an index of 101.25 (89.91% satisfaction level). The SWOT analysis placed the group in Quadrant I (IFAS 3.9; EFAS 3.8). Through AHP with a Consistency Ratio of 1.9%, four priority strategies were established, with routine training at the Green Farm House designated as the primary program (62% weight). This study demonstrates that aquaponics, grounded in the empowerment of PKK women, is effective at sustainably strengthening urban food security and holds potential as a replicable model for other cities. However, further research with larger sample sizes and longer observation periods is required.

Abstract

Effective human resource management is a key factor in ensuring the smooth operation of a company. Mismatches between the number of employees and the workload must be addressed to prevent low productivity or waste of resources. PT XYZ is a corn seed processing company. PT XYZ’s warehouse plays a crucial role in the entire process, from receiving to shipping out seed materials. This underscores the importance of measuring the workload within the warehouse. This workload measurement employs the Full-Time Equivalent (FTE) method through a Business Process Management (BPM) approach. Data was collected primarily through interviews, observations, and time measurements using a stopwatch, supplemented by secondary data in the form of warehouse Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). Based on the analysis, the warehouse workflow at PT XYZ is divided into three categories: Work in Process (WIP), Production Material Chemical Material (PMCM), and finished goods. The calculated workload per employee in the warehouse is 1.034. This indicates that the workload level in the warehouse is considered normal.

Abstract

Studies on forest-area conversion generally examine land-cover dynamics and forest policy separately, leaving the relationship between formal changes in forest designation, actual landscape conditions, and their underlying institutional factors insufficiently understood. This study addresses this gap by integrating multi-temporal land-cover classification with policy, regulatory, and interview analyses to evaluate the conversion of part of the Central Sulawesi Grand Forest Park (Tahura). Sentinel-2 imagery from 2019, 2020, and 2025 was classified using the Random Forest algorithm on the Google Earth Engine platform. The spatial findings were complemented by document analysis and semi-structured interviews with three key informants from relevant forestry institutions. Classification performance showed Overall Accuracy values of 92.99%, 89.77%, and 95.30%, with Kappa coefficients of 0.8855, 0.81, and 0.86 for 2019, 2020, and 2025, respectively. The results indicate that the Tahura area decreased from 7,128 ha to 5,149 ha following Minister of Environment and Forestry Decree No. SK.6624/MENLHK-PKTL/KUH/PLA.2/10/2021. The converted area comprised 1,933 ha designated as Limited Production Forest and 46 ha as Other Land Use Areas. In 2025, the remaining Tahura was dominated by primary forest covering 3,105.38 ha (60.31%) and secondary forest covering 1,040.47 ha (20.21%). Although the conversion complied with formal procedures, it revealed tensions between regional development interests and conservation objectives. The novelty of this study lies in linking legally mandated forest-area conversion with empirically observed land-cover dynamics and institutional explanations within a single analytical framework. Practically, the findings provide a basis for post-conversion monitoring, rehabilitation prioritization, spatial-policy evaluation, tenure-conflict resolution, and the protection of ecologically important areas.

Abstract

The progress of a region has several components, namely growth centers and the formation of a region. These components influence changes in the structure and diversity of a region or area, one of which is changes in land cover. Land cover itself is an object appearance on the earth's surface that shows that land cover reflects the relationship between natural processes and social processes. Land cover is also important information for the purposes of modeling and understanding natural phenomena that occur on the earth's surface through remote sensing techniques. Palolo Valley, Sigi Regency, experiences quite high land use pressure, so information on land cover changes is needed as a basis for sustainable regional management. The purpose of this study is to determine the extent and distribution of land cover changes in several types of land use and to determine what factors influence land cover changes in several types of land use in the Palolo Valley in 2016 to 2026. The study uses an integration method between making land cover maps in the Palolo Valley by utilizing Sentinel-2 images in 2016 and 2026 which are processed using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) using the ArcGIS 8.0 application. Data analysis in this study is by conducting a supervised classification method then taking the last sample point to test the accuracy of the land cover map using an error matrix. The results of this study indicate that the most significant changes in land cover in the 2016 to 2026 period in the Palolo Valley occurred in the plantation land cover category with a percentage of land cover change of 10.0%. Furthermore, shrub land cover experienced a change in area with a percentage change of 6.04%, the third land cover that experienced a change was rice fields with a percentage change of 3.52%, and finally forest land cover experienced a change of 0.44%, there were two land cover classes that did not experience a change in land cover, namely open land and settlements. Factors that influence land cover changes towards various types of land use in the Palolo Valley include biophysical factors and natural disasters, socio-demographic factors namely population growth and migration, accessibility and infrastructure factors in the form of road construction and residential construction, and the last factor is the economy and superior commodities, namely the expansion of cocoa and coffee plantations. The results of the accuracy test showed an overall accuracy of 90.3% in 2016 and 86.1% in 2026, so the classification results are considered reliable for land cover change analysis. The findings of this study can be a basis for formulating sustainable land management and conservation policies in the Palolo Valley.
