Journal of Selvicoltura Asean is an international, peer-reviewed, open-access journal that publishes scientific articles primarily but not limited to the area of Forestry Specialist. Journal of Selvicoltura Asean focuses on all dimensions of forest management, including but not limited to planning, conservation, sylviculture, socioeconomics, and the utilization of forest resources, with a focus in particular on the tropical forests of Asia. We are also eager to include contributions from other geographical scopes as long as they can convincingly demonstrate a critical significance to the concerns that are plaguing Asias forested landscape.

Abstract

As urban areas continue to expand, the challenges posed by climate change—such as flooding, heat islands, and pollution—demand innovative solutions for enhancing urban resilience. Tropical urban forests, as a form of green infrastructure, offer significant benefits in mitigating these issues while improving the quality of life for urban residents. This study explores the role of tropical urban forests in strengthening urban resilience, focusing on their ecological, social, and economic contributions. The research utilizes a mixed-methods approach, combining environmental data collection (air quality, temperature regulation, stormwater management) with surveys and interviews from urban planners, policymakers, and residents. Findings reveal that tropical urban forests help reduce air pollution by up to 12%, lower surrounding temperatures by 2.5°C, and absorb up to 30% of rainfall, significantly mitigating urban flooding. Socially, residents near urban forests reported improved mental health, increased physical activity, and stronger community bonds. This study concludes that tropical urban forests are vital in enhancing urban resilience by providing essential ecosystem services and promoting social well-being. Integrating these green spaces into urban planning policies is crucial for creating sustainable and resilient cities.

Abstract

Indigenous ecological knowledge (IEK) has long been integral to the traditional silvicultural practices of Indonesian communities. This knowledge, passed down through generations, plays a vital role in the sustainable management of forest resources. Despite its significance, the role of IEK in contemporary forest management practices remains underexplored in academic literature. This research aims to investigate the ways in which traditional silvicultural knowledge is applied in forest management by indigenous communities in Indonesia. The primary objective of this study is to examine the components and practices of traditional silviculture, focusing on how indigenous communities incorporate ecological knowledge into forest conservation and resource management. This research adopts a qualitative approach, using ethnographic fieldwork, interviews, and participant observation with indigenous forest communities in Indonesia. The study also involves the collection of relevant secondary data from local authorities and environmental organizations. The study finds that indigenous silvicultural practices are deeply rooted in ecological knowledge that promotes biodiversity conservation, enhances soil fertility, and ensures forest sustainability. These practices include selective logging, agroforestry systems, and forest regeneration methods that align with ecological principles. The integration of indigenous ecological knowledge into modern forest management practices is crucial for enhancing sustainability and addressing contemporary environmental challenges in Indonesia. The study calls for greater recognition and incorporation of these traditional practices in policy and management frameworks.
