Treasure of Local Wisdom in Strengthening Conservation and Ecotourism: Case Study of Dawan Indigenous People in Timor Tengah Utara District
Get PDFIn the history of evolution, in fact the people of Indonesian archipelago have known local wisdom in the social life order that brings its people to be wise in managing various elements of nature. The purpose of this research were: 1) to analyze the local wisdom of Dawan community in North Central Timor District (TTU); 2) to strengthen the existence of local wisdom in ensuring the conservation and ecotourism domains. The method used in this study was phenomenology, which was then analyzed using one score one criteria scoring system. In various criteria, the data show that the local wisdom of the Dawan community in TTU District is in good condition or is in a domain of ‘still known’ and ‘still entrenched’. In strengthening the local wisdom of the Dawan indigenous people, ideas that can be considered for implementation are: firstly, conducting Integrated Stakeholders Management including government, community groups, academicians, NGOs, or private parties; secondly, strengthening indigenous institutions and enhancing the capacity of indigenous peoples; and thirdly, strengthening local wisdom through ecotourism. Thus those are expected to be able to stimulate all elements of society in TTU district in upholding local wisdom to strengthen conservation and ecotourism domains.

Implementation Effectiveness of Water Utilization Permit Grants In Gunung Halimun Salak National Park
Get PDFPolicy implementation is the most difficult stage of the entire policy cycle. The effectiveness of a policy implementation can be measured fromthe accuracy of the implementation, the target, the environment, and the process. The purpose of this research is to analyze the condition and theproblem of implementation of granting Water Utilization Permit (IPA) policy in Gunung Halimun Salak National Park (TNGHS). This research wasconducted in TNGHS area by using closed interview method (questionnaire) followed by in depth interview to key informant which is determined bypurposive sampling, context analysis, and Edward III approach. The results of the research showed that the implementation of granting IPA policy inTNGHS was quite effective because it has been implemented in the right target, environment, and mechanism. However, not all phases have beenimplemented appropriately. Problems encountered include: (a) the use of limited communication strategies, lack of clarity, and inconsistency ofmanagers, (b) limited number of competence counterpart staff and minimal administrative compliance, (c) discretion and disincentive, and (d) tomuch bureaucratic responsibility and lack of implementation guidance or IPA policy SOP. To increase the effectiveness of implementing IPA inTNGHS, some strategies can be added: (a) developing intensive communication and facilitation for Water User Forum (FPA) groups at each resort,(b) providing capacity bulding training as well as additional incentives, (c) rewarding FPAs that implement IPA effectively, and (d) establishingSOPs related to IPA policy.Keywords: effectiveness, implementation, policy
Acceptability Model of The Use of Forest Area Policy in Bangka Belitung
Get PDFThe use of forest area (UFA) policy is a forest management policy by government to accommodate the needs for mining sector in forest area.This study aims to analyze the factors that become key drivers and influence the acceptance of UFA program and also build the agent-based modelsimulation of UFA policy. The method built in this research is using Structural Equation Modelling and Agent-Based Modelling approach. Based onthe results of confirmatory factor analysis, the factors that play a role in the acceptance of the program is the understanding and participation ofstakeholders related to UFA program and the availability of land allocation to be given license to borrow forest area. In addition, based on the ABMapproach, in order to anticipate the increased deforestation rate in available forest cover, it is necessary to accelerate and increase the rate ofmining reclamation activities by license holders.Keywords: agent-based modelling, structural equation modelling, the use of forest area
Characteristics of Javan Coucal (Centropus nigrorufus) Preferential Habitat in Wonorejo Surabaya
Get PDFJavan coucal (Centropus nigrorufus) is one of the endemic birds of Java that has limited distribution in coastal areas. This study aimed to determine the spatial distribution and habitat preference of javan coucal in Wonorejo Region, in the East Coast of Surabaya. The spatial distribution and habitat preference were analyzed using dispersion index (ID) and Jacob index respectively. The results showed that Javan Coucal distribution was clumped, indicated by ID value > 1 for mangrove forests, inactive ponds and active ponds. The Jacob index (Dhi) were 0,75, 0,41 and -0,68 for inactive ponds, mangrove forests and active ponds, respectively. This result indicated that javan coucal preferred inactive ponds and the mangrove forests, and they tend to avoide active pond. The habitat factors affecting the javan coucal encounters were perch height (t=2,655; p=0,014), distance from coast (t=4,539; p=0,000) and air temperature (t=2,675; p=0,013). The regression equation was Y=67,041+0,678 (perch height) + 0,020 (distance from coast)-2,373(air temperature). Keywords: habitat preference, javan coucal, spatial distribution, Wonorej
Study of Land Cover Change using Multi Layer Perceptron and Logistic Regression Methods in Gunung Ciremai National Park
Get PDFThe development of land cover change is important to understand, so that the pattern of future land cover changes can be predicted and its negative impacts can be prevented or reduced. Various modeling approaches have been widely used to analyze land cover changes. The common modeling methods used for analyzing land cover changes are Multi-layer Perceptron (MLP) and Logistic Regression (Logit). This research is designed to assess the accuracy of modeling of land cover change with MLP and Logit methods in Gunung Ciremai National Park. The result indicated that the accuracy of both methods was very good with kappa values were 0,8991 and 0,8989 for MLP and Logit respectively. Therefore, the model can be applied to predict land cover change in Gunung Ciremai National Park in the future.

Macrozoobenthos as Bioindicator of River Water Quality in Ciliwung Hulu Sub Watershed
Get PDFMacrozoobenthos has a relatively sedentary nature and the very limited movement which will directly affected in the event of changes in water quality, therefore markozoobenthos often used as bio-indicators of water quality. This research was conducted form March to June 2015 in the Ciseuseupan sub watershed, Cisukabirus sub watershed and Cisuren sub watershed with the purpose of determining level of water quality and influence of land-use on the quality water by using macrozoobenthos community structure. Biological indices were used to analyze the macrozoobenthos are FBI and SIGNAL2. FBI values in the Ciseseupan sub watershed are 5,02 with criteria the quality of water moderate, in Cisukabirus sub watershed are 3,96 with criteria the quality of water very good and in Cisuren sub watershed 4,37 with criteria the quality of water good. Extensive use of forest land larger than the residential land use in Cisukabirus sub watershed were the major factor in the high quality in the sub watershed Kata kunci: land use, macrozoobenthos, water qualit

The designedinterpretation trail were the track of water bird, rare bird, and endemic bird sighting.Keywords: birdwatching, Bogor Botanical Garden, interpertation trail
The Impact On Recreational Trampling On Soil And Grass In Ciwidey Tourism Destination
Get PDFThe monitoring some impacts of anthropogenic applied specifically to each travel site is essential for maintaining the sustainability of the tourist activity. This study examines the effect of stamping feet of visitors to compaction of soil and the change of grass visual conditions on three conditions of different use intensity in Ciwidey. This study revealed that the trampling has effect on the penetration of the soil, groundwater levels, the changes of visual condition of the grass, and water content of the grass. The higher the intensity of land use, the higher the value of soil penetration resistance but the water content of soil and grass goes to lower. Key words: trampling effect, soil, grass, Ciwide
