Abstract

Weaving ranks among the most ancient skills practiced by humans. A living example of this tradition can be found in Dusun Gumesa Timur, Desa Giri Tembesi, where the Tenun Dharmayasa group continues to preserve the art of weaving. The purpose of this study is to explore the history of the Dharmayasa weaving tradition, investigate the variety of plants utilized for natural dyeing purposes, identify the methods of sourcing raw materials, and understand the symbolic meanings behind the woven motifs. Through in-depth interviews, it was discovered that the Dharmayasa weaving group was formed because the local women possessed weaving skills that became essential for sustaining their livelihoods. In addition to synthetic dyes, they also use natural materials such as sappan wood, banana pseudostems, indigo plants, and gemitir (marigold) leaves to color the threads. A distinctive feature of Dharmayasa weaving is the "drizzle" motif, which symbolizes the community's hope for constant rainfall to nourish the often dry region of Dusun Gumesa. The signature motif created in Dharmayasa Weaving carries the hope that the dry and mountainous region of Gumesa will be blessed with rain at all times. Other motifs produced by the Dharmayasa Weaving group include the Ful motif, combination motif, and striped (lurik) motif.

Abstract

Seagrass ecosystems play a pivotal role in maintaining coastal ecological balance, serving as critical habitats for marine biota, carbon sinks, and natural barriers against erosion. However, anthropogenic pressures increasingly threaten their sustainability. This study aims to assess seagrass diversity in Batu Kotak Beach, Central Lombok, to establish a foundational dataset for conservation efforts. Data were collected across three stations using a quadrat transect method (1×1 m) with three replicates per station. Analyzed parameters included species density, Shannon-Wiener diversity index (H’), evenness (e), and Simpson’s dominance index (C). Results revealed the presence of nine seagrass species, with the highest densities recorded for Syringodium (48 individuals) and Thalassia hemprichii (35 individuals). Diversity indices ranged from low (0.356) to moderate (1.536), with Station III exhibiting the most stable conditions (H’=1.00; e=0.900). Stations I and II displayed pronounced dominance of specific species (Padina tetrastromatica, dominance=0.83), suggesting ecological disturbances. Environmental factors such as water quality, substrate type, and human activities are hypothesized to drive these variations. The study recommends periodic monitoring for Stations I and II and designates Station III as a priority area for conservation.

Abstract

Seagrass ecosystems play an important role in coastal ecology, but their presence requires systematic monitoring in the Mandalika coastal area. This study aims to identify the morphological characteristics and spatial distribution of seagrass species along the coast of Batu Kotak, Central Lombok, Indonesia. The research method used quadrat transects placed perpendicular to the shoreline. The results showed three dominant species including Thalassia hemprichii, Syringodium isoetifolium, and Cymodocea rotundata. T. hemprichii forms dense grasslands in shallow lagoons, while S. isoetifolium shows high tolerance to physical disturbances such as waves, and C. rotundata is adaptive to diverse substrates and currents. It was concluded that the differences in morphology and special distribution reflect the specific ecological response of each species to its environment. The results of the study are expected to inform long-term monitoring, habitat restoration, conservation planning, as well as assessing ecological dynamics and anthropogenic impacts affecting seagrass habitats in coastal tourism areas.

Abstract

Soil plays a vital role as a natural sink for atmospheric carbon emissions, contributing to climate change mitigation. This study aimed to analyze soil carbon content across four different land use types-conservation forest, mangrove forest, mixed garden, and paddy field-in West Lombok District, and to assess its relationship with soil physical properties. A descriptive survey method was employed, with soil sampling conducted at depths of 0–10 cm and 10–20 cm across 24 plots. Data were analyzed using ANOVA and correlation tests. The results revealed significant variation in soil carbon content among land use types, with conservation forest exhibiting the highest value (4,010 tons/ha), followed by paddy field (3,894 tons/ha), mixed garden (2,694 tons/ha), and mangrove forest (1,184 tons/ha). Soil bulk density (BV) showed a strong positive correlation with carbon content, while porosity was negatively correlated. These findings suggest that land use and soil structure significantly influence soil carbon storage. Conservation forests, with higher organic input and minimal disturbance, are the most effective in sequestering carbon. This study highlights the importance of sustainable land use planning in enhancing soil carbon sequestration as a climate mitigation strategy.

Abstract

Agrotourism has become a strategic approach to rural development by enhancing the socio-economic conditions of farming communities. This study evaluates the socio-economic impact of the "Petik Melon" agrotourism initiative, managed through a cooperative model in Kebon Ayu Village, West Lombok. The research aims to assess the effectiveness and sustainability of this model in improving community welfare. Using a mixed-methods approach and the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP), data were gathered through interviews, focus group discussions, and questionnaires involving cooperative members, farmers, visitors, and village officials. The AHP method helped prioritize key indicators such as income generation, employment, social cohesion, and community participation. Findings show that the initiative significantly increased household income, created jobs, and strengthened social bonds. "Income improvement" and "community participation" were identified as the most impactful indicators. Despite these benefits, challenges remain in infrastructure and cooperative capacity. The study concludes that the "Petik Melon" model offers a replicable and impactful strategy for rural development. It recommends enhanced institutional support, improved marketing, and integration of educational-tourism elements to ensure long-term sustainability.

Abstract

Agrotourism has the potential to boost rural economies while preserving local culture and natural resources. This research seeks to evaluate the role of the local community in advancing agrotourism development in Sigerongan Village, West Lombok Regency, and aims to design a development model that emphasizes community participation. The findings are intended to serve as a valuable resource for government policymakers to better engage local communities in agrotourism projects and to provide a reference for subsequent studies. Employing a descriptive methodology, the study utilizes qualitative analytical methods. Data collection involved primary and secondary sources gathered through observation, detailed interviews, and literature review.A total of 33 respondents were selected, three from each hamlet. Results show low community participation in planning and supervision stages, while participation in implementation is more evident—such as providing halfway houses for tourists. Most residents are farmers working in groups near tourist areas, hoping that tourists not only enjoy the natural attractions but also engage in activities like harvesting or catching local produce. The community aspires for Sigerongan Village to be known for its unique agrotourism brand, focusing on rice (Oryza sativa), cassava (Manihot esculenta), mango (Mangifera indica), guava (Psidium guajava), mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana), rambutan (Nephelium lappaceum), and fisheries.
