Management Factors

One of the coastal ecosystems that have experienced a high level of degradation due to its utilization pattern which tends not to pay attention to its sustainability aspects is the mangrove forest in Rangsang District, Meranti Islands Regency, and Riau, Indonesia. Seeing the symptoms of mangrove forest destruction for various purposes, it is necessary to manage mangrove forests sustainably. To be able to carry out sustainable management of mangrove forests, management efforts are needed ber of strategic value and right. Management of community-based marine resources is one management strategy that can improve efficiency and fairness in the utilization and management of natural resources. The research aims to identify and analyze the condition of mangrove forests, reviewing mangrove forest management, and the development of community-based mangrove forest in the district of stimuli. The approach used in this study is an analytical descriptive approach with survey methods. This research was conducted in Rangsang sub-district, Meranti Islands regency, Riau. The results showed that the mangrove vegetation found included 7 species from 3 families, namely Avicenniaceae (Avicennia alba and Avicennia marina), Rhizophoraceae (Rhizophora mucronata, Rhizophora apiculata, Rhizophora stylosa, and Bruguiera gymnorrhiza) families, and Sonneratiaceae family (Sonneratia alba) , with the value of diversity index (H ') of mangrove vegetation in Rangsang sub-district at each station ranged from 0.91 to 1.69 and the environmental parameters of mangrove vegetation in Rangsang sub-district were obtained from clay sand, sandy clay and sandy clay; Soil pH ranges from 6.6-7.1; temperatures range from 29-31˚C; salinity ranges from 27-31 ppt; and organic matter content between 1.09-7.65. At the very least, there are three factors of decision making on community participation in mangrove forest management, namely management factors, knowledge factors and attitude factors. Meanwhile, mangrove forest management carried out by the community in Rangsang District in the form of rehabilitation, care and supervision. Therefore, in an effort to manage community-based mangrove forests active community participation is required by taking into account management factors, knowledge factors and attitude factors.

This study aims to analyze the socio-economic factors that affect the management of mangrove forests, as well as describe the management of community-based mangrove forests in Kampung Ambong Village, Likupang Timur District, North Minahasa District. This research was conducted for 3 (three) months from August to October 2017. The research used analytical descriptive approach using survey method. Sampling used purposive sampling method. Furthermore, participation analysis used Likert Scale. The survey was conducted to 55 respondents in Desa Kampung Ambong, Likupang Timur Sub-district, North Minahasa District. The results showed that based on the Rank Spearman correlation, socio-economic factors ie education level and membership in organization had enough influenced community participation in mangrove forest management. The participation rate of Kampung Ambong Village community in community-based mangrove forest management is categorized as 47.27%. Mangrove forest management have conducted by community members at Kampong Ambong Village, Likupang Timur Sub-district, North Minahasa District, in the form of rehabilitation which mostly plant Rhyzopora seedlings, as well as mangrove and supervision. This activity was carried out by the Tanjung Asa Forest Farmers Group.

Hutan mangrove merupakan salah satu sumber daya pesisir yang berperan penting dalam pembangunan ekonomi. Pengelolaan hutan mangrove berbasis masyarakat merupakan salah satu strategi pengelolaan yang dapat meningkatkan efisiensi dan keadilan dalam pemanfaatan dan pengelolaan sumber daya alam. Indikator penting dalam keberhasilan pengelolaan hutan mangrove adalah partisipasi masyarakat. Ada banyak variabel yang diperkirakan saling berinteraksi dan berkorelasi dalam partisipasi masyarakat tersebut. Oleh karenanya penelitian ini dilakukan untuk menganalisis dan menentukan indikator utama dalam pengelolaan hutan mangrove berbasis masyarakat. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode analisis Principle Component Analysis (PCA). Hasil analisis faktor menggunakan SPSS menunjukkan bahwa dari 15 (limabelas) variabel yang dianalisis diperoleh tiga indikator utama partisipasi masyarakat dalam pengelolaan hutan mangrove di Kecamatan Gending, yaitu faktor manajemen, pengetahuan, dan sikap. Tittle: Analysis of Main Indicator in the Community-Based Management of Mangrove Forestry in the Curahsawo Vilage Subdistrict Gading, Probolinggo RegencyMangrove forest is among coastal resources that has essential role in economic development. Community - based mangrove forest management is a strategy to improve efficiency and fairness in theuse and management of natural resources mangrove forest.Important indicators in successing mangrove forest management is a community participation. There are many variables which were expected to interact with each other and correlated in community participation. Then study was conducted to analyze and determine primary indicators in community-based management of mangrove forestry. Method Principle Component Analysis (PCA) was used in this study. Results from factor analysis of 15 variables using SPSS shows that 3 major indicators of public participation in the mangrove forest management in district Gending are factor, knowledge and attitude.

To monitor the development of four community-managed forests, networks of permanent sample plots were established in 2005 at sites in Chitwan, Kaski and Mustang Districts, Nepal. This research note documents the procedures used when preparing for establishment of the plot networks, evaluates the applied stratification of the forest on the basis of data gathered in pilot surveys conducted in the early 2005, and provides a discussion on the implications of the choices made.

This paper highlights the lessons of using adaptive learning in community forestry that effectively help to resolve forest based conflicts in Terai region of Nepal. The paper is based on a three-year action research carried out in Terai. Qualitative methods including participatory rural appraisal tools and documentation of engaged action and reflections were used. Methods and tools that largely fall under adaptive learning were deployed. The field data was complemented by review of secondary data and literature on environmental history of Terai. We found that policies on land and forest in Terai for the last fifty years have induced and aggravated conflicts over access and control between state and communities and also within diverse groups of local communities. These conflicts have had serious negative impacts on sustainable management of forests and on local people’s livelihoods, particularly resource poor and landless people. Centralised and bureaucratic approaches to control forest and encroachment have largely failed. Despite investing millions of Rupees in maintaining law and order in forestlands, the problem continues to worsen often at the cost of forests and local communities. We found that transferring management rights to local communities like landless and land poor in the form of community forestry (CF) has induced strong local level collective action in forest management and supported local livelihoods. Moreover, adding adaptive learning, as a methodological tool to improve governance and enhance local level collective action significantly improves the benefit of CF. It implies that a major rethinking is needed in the current policies that have often led to hostile relationships with the local inhabitants- particularly the illegal settlers. Instead, transferring forest rights to local communities and supporting them through technical aspects of forest management will strengthen local initiatives towards sustainable management of forests.
