This research investigated the usefulness of the Recreation Opportunity Spectrum (ROS) for managing forest recreation in two natural protected areas of southern Durango, Mexico. We used onsite interviews to document the recreation activities visitors participated in, the characteristics of their preferred recreation sites, and socio-demographic information. A cluster analysis identified visitor groups based on the characteristics of preferred recreation sites and the resulting clusters were compared to the recreation activities and socio-demographic data to create a typology of visitors. We used the ROS framework to identify three classes in each natural protected area including (1) zones with easy access and basic facilities (ROS rural class), (2) natural-appearing zones with few facilities (ROS roaded class), and (3) reserve zones (ROS semiprimitive non-motorized or primitive class). Overall, the ROS framework appears to fit appropriately in these two case studies and could be used for recreation planning purposes in other forest areas of the country.

Kegiatan penambangan timah di daratan di wilayah Kabupaten Belitung Timur sudah berlangsung sejak lama terutama di wilayah Kecamatan Kelapa Kampit. Banyak penduduknya bekerja sebagai penambang timah, namun kegiatan penambangan tersebut semakin berkurang seiring dengan adanya kebijakan terkait penambangan yang lebih ke arah pelestarian lingkungan dan adanya kegiatan reklamasi dan revegetasi yang dilakukan di lahan pasca tambang timah. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis gambaran perubahan penutup lahan dan menganalisis pola matapencaharian di Kecamatan Kelapa Kampit. Data penelitian yang digunakan terdiri dari data primer dan data sekunder. Data primer di antaranya berupa citra satelit Landsat TM akuisisi tahun 1995 dan Landsat 8 akuisisi tahun 2015 serta data hasil wawancara penduduk lokal. Data sekunder berupa data data dari pemerintah daerah setempat, dan lain-lain. Metode pemisahan obyek penutup lahan menggunakan teknik klasifikasi unsupervised (klasifikasi tak terbimbing). Setelah dilakukan proses reclass, maka dihasilkan 8 (delapan) kelas penutup lahan diantaranya: Awan (no data), Hutan, Ladang/Semak, lahan tambang, permukiman, perkebunan dan tubuh air. Analisis deskriptif kualitatif dilakukan untuk melihat hubungan perubahan penutup lahan dengan pola mata pencaharian masyarakat. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan terjadi kondisi yang kontradiktif antara lahan tambang dan hutan dengan lahan perkebunan kelapa sawit. Kondisi luasan lahan tambang dan hutan dari tahun 1994 – 2015 mengalami penurunan, sedangkan luasan lahan perkebunan kelapa sawit mengalami peningkatan yang cukup signifikan. Seiring dengan perubahan penutup lahan tersebut, terjadi penurunan jumlah buruh harian lepas dimana penambang inkonvensional termasuk didalamnya. Terjadi peralihan mata pencaharian yang awalnya mengandalkan penambangan, saat ini menjadi semakin banyak pilihan mata pencaharian yang dapat dipilih oleh masyarakat Kecamatan Kelapa Kampit.

The advancing of glaciers is a manifestation of dynamic glacial instability. Glaciers in the Tien Shan region, especially in the Central Tien Shan, show instability, and advancing glaciers have been recently detected. In this study, we used Landsat TM/ETM+/OLI remote sensing images to identify glaciers in the Tien Shan region from 1990 to 2019 and found that 48 glaciers advanced. Among them, thirty-four glaciers exhibited terminal advances, and 14 glaciers experienced advances on the tributary or trunk. Ten of the glaciers experiencing terminal advances have been identified as surging glaciers. These 48 glaciers are distributed in the western part of the Halik and Kungey Mountain Ranges in the Central Tien Shan, and Fergana Mountains in the Western Tien Shan, indicating that the Tien Shan is also one of the regions where advancing and surging glaciers are active. From 1990 to 2019, a total of 169 times advances occurred on 34 terminal advancing glaciers in the Tien Shan region; the highest number of advancing and surging of glaciers occurred in July (26 and 14 times, respectively). With reference to the existing literature and the present study, the surge cycle in the Tien Shan is longer than that in other regions at high latitudes in Asia, lasting about 35–60 years. Surging glaciers in the Tien Shan region may be affected by a combination of thermal and hydrological control. An increase in temperature and precipitation drives surging glaciers, but the change mechanism is still difficult to explain based on changes in a single climate variable, such as temperature or precipitation.
