Abstract

The objective of this study was to determine the effects of coconut milk powder on the characteristics of Tongka Langit Banana ice cream. A completely randomized experimental design was applied in this research with coconut milk powder concentrations based on the weight of full cream milk used as a control. Hence, the levels of treatment were as follows: control (full cream milk), 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% coconut milk powder. The results showed that Using coconut milk as a milk substitute in the preparation of Tongka Langit banana ice cream has affected its physicochemical and sensory properties but has no effect on vitamin C. With a fat content of 4.93%, a protein content of 0.77%, vitamin C content of 0.67%, total solids of 30.10%, and a melting time of 54'33', coconut milk at 100% by weight of milk was the appropriate concentration for producing ice cream with the best physicochemical and sensory properties.

Abstract

This research was created to test the existence of the determination of twelve groups of development islands that are by the development of development in the field of forestry. Biophysical, social and economic data were used to test the twelve island clusters' determination. Cluster analysis is used in testing the determination of twelve island clusters. The kaiser-Meyer-Elkin (KME) and multicollinearity tests are used to obtain data quality in cluster analysis. The cluster analysis results using twelve variables free of multicollinearity (VIF) resulted in five island clusters. Cluster analysis using Ward's method with Kophenitic distance (Cophenetic Distance) provides maximum results, where the distance between the furthest groups (between classes) of 76028208246067.70 or 97.15% and the closest distance of fellow groups 2228914432702.33 or 2.85 %.

Abstract

Regional conflicts in natural resource management can be caused by the limitations of interested parties in accessing natural resources. This paper aims to provide an overview of the management of natural resource development conflicts through mediation, the actors in natural resource development and to build a communication system model to minimize conflicts. The study concluded that the communication system in managing natural resource development conflicts was done through a mediation process. Mediation facilitates the involvement of conflicting parties and seeks a solution that benefits both parties. The actor is one approach in the structural flow, acting as the state's first or leading actor. As the first actor, the state has two functions: an actor user and protector of natural resources and the environment. The second factor is the entrepreneur (corporate, including mining companies), both at the global and national levels. The third actor in society is the weakest party. This actor almost always understands the process of marginalization or vulnerability to various forms of environmental degradation. The development conflict management communication system aims to change the behaviour of conflicting parties to reduce and resolve conflicts through dialogue and a participatory process

Abstract

The people of Maluku, since their ancestors, have been known as a society with various social institutions which are, in fact, very appreciative of the living and non-biological natural resources around them. It has caused some historians to argue that the Maluku people are religious people oriented toward the nature surrounding their lives. The various forms of "traditional local wisdom" that are owned and still applied to this modern century have no difference. They are even more adhered to by the community regarding the conservation of living natural resources and their ecosystems. Meanwhile, the government enforces various laws and regulations but is not adequately socialized to society. In the future, challenges (Hotu mese) are already a philosophy of the Maluku people. They use it as a "Nanaku" (experience) to serve as an indicator to recognize natural phenomena and use it for their resilience to conquer the surrounding nature. This research was conducted to know the various forms of local wisdom of traditional communities in Maluku that have beneficial values for human life. The expected output of the research was that scientists can be motivated to conduct research to "answer scientific truth" to the forms of local wisdom of traditional communities, which are often judged as "sacred", "archaic", or "superstitious" for today's modern society. The Maluku people who inhabit small islands have integrated with their limited natural life. This limitation causes them to utilize all available components of living natural resources and ecosystems to fulfil their daily needs. The results showed that the local wisdom of the Maluku people can still be used to meet the needs of ecologists and the general public in carrying out activities in the wild, both in the forest and at sea, so as not to experience unwanted things.

Abstract

Currently, many farmers have been trying to cultivate agarwood plants, after various studies have produced fungi that can be infected to agarwood plants to produce gaharu sap. However, the propagation of agarwood plants until now still has several inhibiting factors, especially problems with soil fertility and optimal water availability for seedling growth. Controlling soil fertility using synthetic fertilizers is no longer recommended due to pollution problems, so efforts towards using biological fertilizers are now the focus of utilization. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the effect of mycorrhizal fungus inoculation and frequency of watering on the growth of agarwood seedlings in nurseries with the growth parameters, namely: increase in plant height, stem diameter, number of leaves and percentage of mycorrhizal fungal infections in agarwood seedling roots. The research results showed that the treatment between mycorrhizal inoculation (I1) and the frequency of watering every 2 days (A2) resulted in good average growth of agarwood seedlings. This is because the highest mycorrhizal fungal infection, which is 93.3%, occurred in the treatment of the combination between mycorrhizal inoculation and the frequency of watering in every 2 days. The highest agarwood seedling was 25.70 cm, obtained from a variety of treatment between mycorrhiza inoculation and the frequency of watering in every 2 days. Meanwhile, the treatments without mycorrhizal inoculation at all levels of frequency of watering resulted low growth rates of agarwood seedlings.

Abstract

The high diversity of tree species at various height levels indicates that there may still be many unidentified tree species, making it unclear how the distribution and abundance of the tree community's structure are. The ULM Special Purpose Forest Area (KHDTK ULM) covers an area of 1,617 hectares. The KHDTK ULM includes several regions such as Bukit Besar, Bukit Mandiangin, Bukit Pamaton, and Bukit Pandamaran, each with different elevations. Research on the structure of the tree community at Bukit Mandiangin is necessary for the preservation of germplasm in the KHDTK ULM. The objectives of this research are (1) to assess the presence of tree species at different elevations, (2) to analyze the distribution and abundance of tree species at different elevations, and (3) to analyze the diversity, evenness, and similarity of tree species communities at different elevations

Abstract

Whereas many studies highlight positive environmental and socio-economic effects of agroforestry systems, the agro-economic effect of Dusun practices as indigenous agroforestry systems has rarely been studied in detail, particularly in small island-Maluku Indonesia. This article examines the agro-economic of tropical perennial and annual fruit crops in the Dusun systems in Ambon city islands. A survey was conducted in three different Dusuns to obtain data through in-depth interviews of 88 heads of households. Our findings indicate that most Dusun farmers are uneducated and old age, half of them have small size of land, and 95% of land status belongs to kinship-clan ownership. Then, half of the farmers have an elementary school education, and 71% have a primary job as farmers, while 29% have a secondary job on the farm and non-farm activities. Amongst 26 crops that are found in three Dusun areas, nine crop types can be found in the whole Dusun, while the rest are located in one or two Dusun only. These crops are grown together and form multiple cropping structures from high stratum like durian and coconut to medium strata such as clove and nutmeg and low strata such as vegetables and tubers. The structures of the crops have an important role in maintaining biodiversity, minimizing soil erosion, water reservoir, and supporting socio-economic of the households. Annual income from rural household was estimated at around US$6487 or US $3.6/capita/day. Income average value was almost two folds of the World Bank poverty line standard. Nearly 80% of the total income are contributed by four main crops, i.e. clove (Eugenia aromaticum), durian (Durio zibethinus Mur), nutmeg (Myristica fragnans), and duku (Lansium domesticum), of which 11% is contributed predominantly by snake fruit (Salacca zallaca var amboniensis Becc), mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana L) and langsat (Lansium domesticum).
