Mangrove Rehabilitation

Abstract Mangrove rehabilitation is often challenged by a lack of support from local communities. The success of mangrove rehabilitation can increase the chances of success by increasing the local economy, which will help increase public awareness. This study was conducted in the mangrove forest of Karangsong Village with the aim to identify the potential of mangroves and the characteristics of local communities as capital for the use of environmental services based on mangrove ecotourism. The interview method with semi-structured guidelines was applied to obtain social, economic and public perceptions data. Karangsong mangrove forest is dominated by three species of mangroves, namely Rhizophora mucronata, Rhizophora stylosa and Rhizophora apiculate. It has also become a habitat for various bird species such as javan pond heron, wandering whistling duck, lesser adjutant, imperial pied pigeon, and common sandpiper, which are potential ecotourism objects. The results showed that positive perceptions derived from the economic benefits obtained from mangroves, which have become feedback for mangrove conservation. The role of the driving group is also crucial to maintain the consistency of stakeholders’ enthusiasm to conserve mangroves. Sustainable ecotourism development needs to involve local communities in its management.

Abstract Mangrove forest is one of the forest ecosystems that can be found in tidal areas. Mangrove forest have ecological, socio-economic benefits for organisms that live in the sea. One of the microorganism that live in mangrove forest is fungus. Therefore, this study aimed to isolate and identify phosphate solubilizing and cellulolytic fungi from mangrove soil. Soil samples were collected from a stands of Rhizophora stylosa in Lubuk Kertang Village, West Brandan District, Langkat Regency, North Sumatra. Soil samples were taken randomly with a dept of 0-20 cm. Isolation of phosphate solubilizing fungi was carried out using Pikovskaya medium and cellulolytic fungi using carboxyl methyl cellulose (CMC) medium. To determine the effectiveness of fungi qualitatively, the phosphate solubility and cellulolytic index were calculated. All isolates obtained were identified morphologically by observing colonies macroscopically and microscopically. This study obtained 12 isolates of phosphate solubilizing and 8 isolates of cellulolytic fungi. Phosphate solubility index ranging from 2.06-2.87 and cellulolytic index of 0.33-3.00. Morphological identifications showed that all isolates of phosphate solubilizing fungi belonged to the genus Aspergillus, while all isolates of cellulolytic fungi belonged to the genus Chaetomium.

Forests not only provide the advantage of conservation for the environment, but also forests can provide economic benefits to local communities. Not only wood, fruits, honey or the other forest products that can be utilized. However, forests can also be utilized in terms of its environmental services, namely as a carbon sink, hydrological function, as well as in terms of natural beauty (ecotourism). The research was conducted at the Forest Nagari Sungai Buluh, Padang Pariaman District, West Sumatra Province with aim to know economic and social impact of community based forest management. The method used is a combination of quantitative and qualitative approach using questionnaires and in-depth interviews. Based on research that has been done, it appears that the utilization of forest environmental services into eco-tourism provides economic contribution to communities living around the forest and to improve of rural economy. Society no longer perform encroachment, however people can still benefit from these forests are of ecotourism.<br />Keywords: Rural regional development, ecotourism, livelihood system</p><p><br />ABSTRAK<br />Berdasarkan Peraturan Menteri Lingkungan Hidup dan Kehutanan RI No. P.83 Tentang Perhutanan Sosial yaitu “untuk mengurangi kemiskinan, pengangguran dan ketimpangan pengelolaan/ pemanfaatan kawasan hutan, maka diperlukan kegiatan Perhutanan Sosial melalui upaya pemberian akses legal kepada masyarakat setempat yang tujuannya untuk kesejahteraan masyarakat dan sumberdaya hutan”. Hutan tidak hanya memberikan manfaatkan konservasi bagi lingkungan, namun hutan juga bisa memberikan manfaat ekonomi bagi masyarakat lokal. Tidak hanya kayu, buah-buahan, madu ataupun hasil hutan lainnya yang dapat dimanfaatkan. Namun, hutan juga dapat dimanfaatkan dari sisi jasa lingkungannya, yakni sebagai penyimpan karbon, fungsi hidrologi, serta dalam hal keindahan alamnya (ekowisata). Penelitian ini dilaksanakan di Hutan Nagari Sungai Buluh, Kabupaten Padang Pariaman, Provinsi Sumatera Barat dengan tujuan untuk mengetahui dampak ekonomi dan sosial bagi masyarakat. Metode yang digunakan adalah kombinasi dari pendekatan kuantitatif dan kualitatif dengan menggunakan kuisioner dan wawancara mendalam.

The Relationship

Recreational activities pertaining to farmlands are receiving increased attention from both research and practice. One of the major reasons for this heightened importance attributed to farmland tourism is due partly to its potential to advance the local economy and to the benefits it brings for farmers and visitors. Thus, analyzing the role of agritourism in advancing socio-economic prosperity is of pivotal importance. With this background, the paper discusses the economic benefits of agritourism. The results reported in the paper are related to organizations located in Poland and Italy. Agritourism can bring several economic benefits in the countries and regions. What is interesting, the average income from agritourism is about one-third of the overall household income of farmers. Moreover, food service is a crucial factor in the success of agritourism as it brings extra money to farmers. It shows the importance of the relationship between the income obtained from agritourism activities and the benefits local communities gain by engaging in multiple tourism promotion activities.

The Impact

The university is considered one of the engines of growth in a local economy or its market area, since its direct contributions consist of 1) employment of faculty and staff, 2) services to students, and supply chain links vendors, all of which define the University’s Market area. Indirect contributions consist of those agents associated with the university in terms of community and civic events. Each of these activities represent economic benefits to their host communities and can be classified as the economic impact a university has on its local economy and whose spatial market area includes each of the above agents. In addition are the critical links to the University, which can be considered part of its Demand and Supply chain. This paper contributes to the field of Public/Private Impact Analysis, which is used to substantiate the social and economic benefits of cooperating for economic resources. We use Census data on Output of Goods and Services, Labor Income on Salaries, Wages and Benefits, Indirect State and Local Taxes, Property Tax Revenue, Population, and Inter-Industry to measure economic impact (Implan, 2016).

The Creation

The main aim of this paper is to demonstrate that clusters can support the sustainable development of rural areas through the creation of shared value. This is done via the close exam-ination of six different cases of rural clusters in Greece, Italy, Germany, Poland, Denmark, and Sweden. Qualitative as well as quantitative data weretaken from the clusters, which demonstrated that their main business approaches naturally coincided with the creation of economic, social, and environmental benefits for the local communities in which they operated. The case clusters were created in a top-down manner, aimed at boosting regional R&D activities and making the local economy more competitive and more sustainable. However, private initiative took over and al-lowed these clusters to flourish because meeting the regions’ economic, social, and environmental needs successfully coincided with the target of the clusters’ own development and profitability. The results show that clusters, with their potential for shared value creation, can constitute a powerful engine for the revitalisation and development of rural areas, addressing the significant challenges which they are currently facing.
