Abstract

This study aims to analyze the social, economic, and technical characteristics of cattle farmers in Salahutu District, Central Maluku Regency. The research was conducted in May–June 2025, involving 30 respondents selected through purposive sampling from three villages: Suli, Tulehu, and Liang. Data were collected through observation, structured interviews using questionnaires, and documentation, and then analyzed descriptively using frequency distribution and percentages. The results showed that most farmers were in productive age with considerable farming experience, although their formal education level was relatively low. Cattle farming was still small-scale, with an average ownership of 8.33 heads per farmer, limited land use, and feed sources mainly from local forages and grazing lands. The main challenges faced by farmers included limited capital, seasonal feed availability, and restricted market access. Nevertheless, the high demand for beef offers significant opportunities for developing cattle farming in the region. This study is expected to serve as a reference for policymaking in improving cattle productivity and farmers’ welfare.

Abstract

The mountain communities of Seram Island, Maluku, are highly dependent on forest resources for their livelihoods. Their daily activities often intersect with protected forest areas, frequently without awareness of the forest’s official conservation status. However, the sustainability of protected forest functions is closely influenced by the community’s interactions and practices. This study aims to analyze the interaction between the mountain community in Rumahtita Hamlet and the protected forest, as well as the challenges that affect ecosystem sustainability. A qualitative approach was applied, employing interviews and field observations to examine socio-cultural and economic dimensions, while vegetation analysis was used to assess ecosystem capacity through the biophysical dimension and its cultural implications. The findings reveal that the Rumahtita community maintains a strong attachment to the protected forest, with the majority (80.95%) perceiving its function primarily as a provider of daily necessities. Agathis dammara emerged as the dominant species (INP = 97.66%) within the protected forest area, symbolizing the ecological and cultural connection between the mountain community and their forest environment. The challenges faced in forest management include limited accessibility, low work ethic and creativity among the productive-age workforce, insufficient knowledge regarding product diversification, weak roles of village-owned enterprises (BUMDes), and limited market access.

Abstract

This research is to determine the effect of tapioca flour substitution with sago flour on the organoleptic quality of chicken nuggets and determine the optimal substitution percentage. The research used a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with 5 substitution treatments, namely P0 (100% tapioca : 0% sago), P1 (75% tapioca : 25% sago), P2 (50% tapioca : 50% sago), P3 (25% tapioca : 75% sago), and P4 (0% tapioca : 100% sago). Each treatment was repeated 30 times using 30 untrained panelists. The parameters observed included color, aroma, texture, and taste using a hedonic test with a scale of 1-5. Data were analyzed using ANOVA and continued with Duncan's test at the 5% level. The results showed that sago flour substitution did not significantly affect color and taste (P>0.05), but had a very significant effect on aroma (P<0.01) and a significant effect on texture (P<0.05). Treatment P1 (25% sago flour substitution) gave the best results in texture (4.47) and taste (4.33), while P2 (50% sago flour substitution) produced the best aroma (4.50). 100% sago flour substitution (P4) caused a drastic decrease in aroma (3.90), texture (3.87), and taste (3.93). It was concluded that substitution of tapioca flour with sago flour of 25-50% is the optimal formulation to produce chicken nuggets with good organoleptic quality and is still accepted by consumers.

Abstract

Wildlife conservation necessitates strong communication methods between institutions, communities, and the media, as these three entities are vital in boosting public awareness and involvement in conservation initiatives. Commonly faced challenges consist of insufficient dialogic communication, restricted access to trustworthy information, and inadequate media portrayal in delivering conservation messages. This research seeks to examine the communication trends formed between institutions, communities, and the media, while also evaluating how these trends aid in wildlife conservation initiatives in Leahari Village. The study utilized a qualitative approach involving detailed interviews with ten carefully chosen informants, along with field observations and document examination. The results show that stakeholders communicate via seminars, campaigns, field activities, and social media; nonetheless, challenges persist, including low public engagement, the prevalence of entertainment-focused media, and insufficient educational resources. The community exhibits favorable reactions when communication is conveyed in a dialogic manner and connected to relatable local experiences. In summary, collaborative and organized conservation communication enhanced by innovative media use effectively boosts community awareness and aids in sustainable wildlife conservation initiatives

Abstract

This study aims to determine the impact of Hoko Waterfall ecotourism activities on the economic and socio-cultural conditions of the community in Hoko Village, Kei Besar Utara Timur District, Southeast Maluku Regency. The research employed qualitative and quantitative approaches through observation, interviews, and documentation involving 40 respondents consisting of local residents, tourism managers, and traditional leaders. The results show that, economically, ecotourism has generated significant positive effects on community income. The Travel Cost Method (TCM) analysis indicates that the average visitor expenditure reaches IDR 400,000 per person, most of which benefits local businesses such as transportation providers, food vendors, and tourism service operators. Ecotourism activities have created new employment opportunities and encouraged livelihood diversification from fisheries and agriculture to tourism services. From the socio-cultural perspective, ecotourism has not diminished traditional values rooted in the Larvul Ngabal customary law, caste system (Mel, Ren, Iri), and rituals such as Sasi darat and Sasi laut, which remain preserved in their sacred forms. The Kei language continues to be maintained as a cultural identity, and the spirit of mutual cooperation (maren) remains strong. Thus, Hoko Waterfall ecotourism contributes to improving the community’s economic welfare while reinforcing their cultural identity amidst modernization.

Abstract

Dusung is a traditional agroforestry system of the Maluku people, inherited across generations as an ecological, economic, and cultural strategy for land management. This study aims to identify the plant combinations and cropping patterns applied by the community in Kamarian Village, Kairatu Subdistrict, West Seram Regency. The research employed a descriptive approach using qualitative and quantitative techniques through observation, interviews, and documentation involving ten dusung owners selected by purposive sampling. The results show two main patterns in the dusung system, namely Tree Along Border (TAB) and Mixture Random. The TAB pattern is characterized by planting forestry species such as Alstonia scholaris, Erythrina variegata, and Gliricidia sepium along the field edges as natural fences, while the central area is filled with plantation and fruit crops such as nutmeg, clove, coconut, durian, langsat, and mango. Meanwhile, the Mixture Random pattern features irregular planting with higher species diversity, including food crops such as sago, banana, pineapple, and cassava. The choice of plant combinations is influenced by economic value, ecological suitability, socio-cultural significance, and local seed availability. Overall, the dusung system plays an essential role in maintaining ecosystem balance, improving household livelihoods, and preserving the cultural identity of the Kamarian community.

Abstract

This study aimed to identify the morphological characteristics and fetometric parameters of Bali cattle fetuses obtained from the Municipal Abattoir (RPH) of Ambon, and to examine the relationship between Crown–Rump Length (CRL) and gestational age. Thirty fetus samples were collected and measured using a measuring tape and a digital scale. Observed fetometric parameters included CRL, head length, head width, head circumference, and fetal body weight. Data were analyzed descriptively to determine the relationship between fetometric size and gestational age. Results showed that fetal morphology developed consistently with increasing CRL. At CRL 21–31 cm (±90–120 days), skin pigmentation and tactile hair appeared; CRL 32–44 cm (±120–150 days) indicated external genital development; CRL 45–56 cm (±150–180 days) showed hair growth on the tail and ears; and CRL 57–70 cm (±180–210 days) exhibited morphology similar to newborn calves. The relationship between CRL and gestational age followed a non-linear pattern consistent with physiological fetal growth. It was concluded that CRL and fetal weight serve as reliable indicators for estimating gestational age in Bali cattle. The fetometry-based prediction model developed in this study could be applied as a practical tool in field or abattoir conditions, although further validation with larger and more diverse samples is recommended.

Abstract

Indonesia, as an archipelagic state, possesses abundant natural resources and high biological diversity, including extensive forest ecosystems that vary across regions. Maluku is one of the provinces characterized by vast tropical forests with significant ecological value, while also providing economic benefits for local communities through non-timber forest products such as cajuput oil, copal, rattan, and agarwood. However, these forests face increasing threats from land-use change, particularly due to mining and plantation expansion. In this context, Indigenous communities play a crucial role in sustaining forest resources through customary practices and local wisdom passed down across generations. This study aims to identify forms of local wisdom in forest resource management and examine the factors influencing these practices in Buano Utara Village, Huamual Belakang Subdistrict, West Seram Regency. The research was conducted in May 2025 using a survey method with a descriptive approach to systematically and accurately describe the socio-cultural conditions and forest management practices observed in the field. The results show that the people of Buano Utara regard local wisdom as an essential cultural heritage that shapes their approaches to forest and agricultural resource management. Customary systems such as sasi hutan function effectively in promoting forest sustainability by regulating periods of restricted exploitation, implementing adat-based monitoring, and enforcing sanctions for violators. Local wisdom not only contributes to ecological conservation but also strengthens social cohesion and community resilience. Therefore, local wisdom remains a highly relevant and effective traditional mechanism for supporting sustainable forest resource management in Maluku.

Abstract

Local wisdom-based forest management represents a critical mechanism for maintaining forest resource sustainability through the integration of cultural values, customary regulations, and prudent utilization practices. This study aims to describe the forms of local wisdom, forest management systems, and the role of customary institutions in Uraur Village, Kairatu District, West Seram Regency. A qualitative descriptive method was employed through interviews, observations, and documentation involving customary leaders, village government officials, and local communities. The findings indicate that forest management in Uraur Village is grounded in various forms of local wisdom, including the sasi system (sola mapina, sola manawa, and sola kakehang) along with sanctions for violations, traditional management through area zonation and dusung cultivation patterns, the presence of the Kewang customary institution as forest guardians, and the cultural values of masohi and traditional rituals. The success of this management is determined by the strength of customary institutions in regulating culture-based forest utilization, community social solidarity, government policy support to reinforce the legitimacy of customary institutions to avoid jurisdictional overlaps, and comprehensive facilitation ranging from socialization and training to the implementation of sustainable forest management that considers socio-economic, ecological, cultural aspects, and local customary norms.
