Correlations between Local Institutional Capacity and Community Conservation Partnerships in Lore Lindu National Park
Get PDFThe Community Conservation Partnership (CCP) is a policy option for ensuring the sustainability of conservation functions while improving the local community\u27s economy. The critical issue in implementing this policy is local institutional capacity. This study aimed to describe the correlation between local institutional capacity and the performance of community conservation partnerships in LLNP. This study was carried out in 10 villages that had established conservation partnership agreements with LLNP managers. This research adopted a quantitative descriptive method. This study revealed that CCP performance was significantly dependent on local institutional capacity. The CCP programme improved the function of conservation areas, but did not boost the local economy significantly. Trust and financial capacity are the essential organisational and management capacities that strongly correlate with CCP performance. The performance of CCP was more strongly correlated with the organisational and management capacity of the local institution than with individual capacity. The individual capacity of the local institution that strongly correlated with CCP performance was only the technical capacity in forestry. Therefore, strengthening capacity at organizational and management levels, such as building trust, communications, and funding support for local institutions, is crucial for improving and sustaining conservation partnerships

Stand productivity in terms of age and time class, the total potential for palm sugar from the 4 largest villages is in the class of age 12-15 class year of 100,933 kg/year with 189 trees, but the total production from a range of age aren, 8-11 class year has percentage of 56% contribute all of the yields.The conclusion of this study stated that Aren has a large potential for stands to be utilized and able to support the economy of aren farmers in the future which of course needs to be supported by the treatment and knowledge of farmers about palm tree cultivatio
Improving the Physical Properties of Ex-Coal Mining Soil Planted with Sweet Corn (Zea mays saccharata L.) Using Pine Wood and Sawdust Biochar
Get PDFBiochar is a by-product produced from the combustion process without oxygen at high temperatures (100-800oC) for approximately one hour. The advantage of this biochar is that apart from having several distinctive properties such as being more efficient, cost-effective, and easy to obtain, it can also improve the soil physical properties and remove toxic contaminants in ex-coal mining soil. Through its large surface area, large pore size distribution, particle types and low density, biochar can influence soil porosity, soil consistency, improve soil aggregate stability values and increase water availability for plants by up to 130%. The research was carried out at the experimental site of the Agriculture Faculty, Universitas Syiah Kuala using planting media from ex-coal mining soil. This research used a factorial randomized block design with three replications. The first factor was the biochar feedstock consisted of pine wood and sawdust. The second factor was the biochar dosage consisted of 0, 10, and 20 tons ha-1. The physical soil characteristic parameters observed were soil porosity, bulk density, and aggregate stability. The biochar characteristic parameters observed were biochar combustion results, biochar morphology, water holding capacity, and biochar bulk density. Pine wood and sawdust biochar can improve soil physical properties, especially soil porosity, but did not affect soil bulk density and soil aggregate stability. Biochar dosages of 10 and 20 t ha-1 can improve soil porosity. However, to minimize costs, the biochar application at a dose of 10 t ha-1 can be recommended
Innovations in Short Video Marketing Strategies for Tourism: The Case of The Director of Garzê Culture and Tourism Bureau
Get PDFShort tourism videos (STVs) can significantly boost the visibility and appeal of tourist destinations, increase tourism revenue, and yield positive social responsibility effects such as poverty alleviation. One notable achievement is that of Liu Hong, the Director of the Culture and Tourism Bureau in Garzê , who has become an Internet celebrity by successfully promoting Garzê \u27s cultural and tourism resources via his TikTok account with 156 STVs. This study aims to analyze and uncover the characteristics of effective STVs in promoting sustainable tourism and conservation. The STVs were classified into four narrative categories: recommendation-based, introduction-based, display-based, and activity-based. The findings revealed that among the 25 highly engaged STVs, display-based STVs were dominant, accounting for 68%. Comparing short video length, number of scenes, subtitles, background music, and number of characters in association with engagement metrics, revealed that display-based STVs are usually less expensive and require fewer resources to produce. This suggests that destination management organizations can leverage display-based STVs to engage netizens and promote tourist destinations. These findings help promote remote tourism destinations with smaller marketing budgets, fostering sustainable tourism practices, and conserving natural and cultural heritage. The study helps DMOs aiming to use STVs for effective and sustainable destination marketing
