Pengembangan Tanaman Multi Guna bagi Masyarakat di Kawasan Taman Hutan Raya Nipa-Nipa Kelurahan Gunung Jati, Kota Kendari

The people of Gunung Jati Urban Village, Kendari District, Kendari City have a relatively low economic level amidst the increasing demand. The agricultural products obtained by the community are still considered unable to meet the needs of life. In addition, they are located in the area around the Nipa-Nipa Grand Forest Park (GFP) which is relatively steep and critical, so there is great concern if the community is cutting trees that could threaten forest sustainability. Therefore, the purpose of this service are 1) To provide understanding to farmers about the importance of developing multi-purpose plants and 2) Realizing forest conservation by providing multi-purpose plant seeds to be planted on community-owned land. The method of implementing the program is community-based, namely through multi-purpose plant cultivation training accompanied by assistance with counseling and discussions. The results of this service are 1) The understanding of farmers has begun to increase, namely about 18 people (72%) who already have a very good understanding of developing MPTS plants and 2) The success of planting can be seen from the percentage of seeds that grow and develop by 90% which is part of from vegetative conservation. Lack of public awareness in preserving the Tahura Nipa-Nipa including maintaining the plants that have been given, because economic pressure is still a serious obstacle. Therefore, there is still ongoing assistance with socialization and the addition of multi-purpose plant seeds in the next program.

Increasing Demand

Provision of basic services such as portable water and sanitation are vital for health and wellbeing of the society. The growing intensity of use of water in urban environment due to increasing urbanization and rapidly growing population has posed significant challenges for efficient water supply and conservation in many developing countries. Darjeeling town alike most of these developing countries struggle for the improved access of water for urban population. The urban dwellers in Darjeeling Town struggles for the improved access of water due to increasing urban population. The daily uncertainty and anxiety over the access to water has been a common sight to the people in urban Darjeeling hills. The rapidly growing urban population associated with the increasing demand for water has led to striking challenges in the management practice of water resources. Consequently, a huge imbalance has generated between the demand and supply of water in the town. The present study therefore attempts to explore the existing situation of water resources and discuss the issues and challenges around the management of water resources in the urban landscape of Darjeeling hills. The study revealed that the gradual introduction of developmental activities, faulty construction plans relating to water, political intrusion, poor governance system and lack of public awareness are some of the prominent factors for insufficient water supply and creating a situation of scarcity in Darjeeling.

People’S Perceptions

SummaryIncreasing attention has been given to evaluating the effectiveness of forest conservation projects, but it is not well known whether different methods yield similar results when evaluating changes in forest resources. The present study compares forest cover maps and local people’s perceptions for evaluating the effectiveness of the Chambok community-based ecotourism (CBET) programme in Cambodia. We assessed forest cover changes from 2000 to 2012 using published global maps and used a covariate matching method to compare forest sites in CBET and non-CBET areas. We also analysed local people’s perceptions of forest resource changes by interviewing 174 households. The forest cover maps showed that the Chambok CBET was effective at reducing deforestation, although the outcome was not completely robust to unobserved heterogeneity. Local people’s perceptions concurred with the effectiveness observed in the forest cover maps, in that 64% of the people perceived that forest resources increased and 75% thought that the local community could protect its own forest resources. We conclude that the Chambok CBET performed effectively for forest conservation and suggest that mixed-method approaches are essential for evaluating the effectiveness of conservation programmes.

Mixed Approach

Gunung Wayang area is located inthe upstream part of the Citarum river basin. Forest preservation in the upper Citarum watershed is very important to maintain its sustainability. However, along with the increasing population and increasing demand for land, Gunung Wayang forest area faces increasing threats and disturbances from various deforestation activities, such as encroachment, illegal logging, and forest land conversion, which then worsening the condition of the Citarum watershed. One of the initiatives of the Government of Bandung Regency is the development of Grand Forest Park at Gunung Wayang. Therefore, this research aimed to identify, study, and analyze the feasibility of developing Grand Forest Park in this location. The method used was mixed-methods with a parallel convergent mixed approach. The results of the study indicate that there were several types of plants and animals with important conservation status. Grand Forest Park will increase many new economic opportunities and decrease deforestation activities. However, because nearly 70% of the people living around the area are farmers cultivating land in forest areas, therefore a comprehensive approach is needed to avoid conflicts related to land ownership.

Future Outbreak

A new coronavirus-strain from a zoonotic reservoir (probably bat)—termed as severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)—has recently claimed more than two million deaths worldwide. Consequently, a burst of scientific reports on epidemiology, symptoms, and diagnosis came out. However, a comprehensive understanding of eco-environmental aspects that may contribute to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) spread is still missing, and we therefore aim to focus here on these aspects. In addition to human–human direct SARS-CoV-2 transmission, eco-environmental sources, such as air aerosols, different public use objects, hospital wastes, livestock/pet animals, municipal wastes, ventilation facilities, soil and groundwater potentially contribute to SARS-CoV-2 transmission. Further, high temperature and humidity were found to limit the spread of COVID-19. Although the COVID-19 pandemic led to decrease air and noise pollution during the period of lockdown, increased use of masks and gloves is threatening the environment by water and soil pollutions. COVID-19 badly impacted all the socio-economic groups in different capacities, where women, slum dwellers, and the people lacking social protections are the most vulnerable. Finally, sustainable strategies, waste management, biodiversity reclaim, eco-friendly lifestyle, improved health infrastructure and public awareness, were proposed to minimize the COVID-19 impact on our society and environment. These strategies will seemingly be equally effective against any future outbreak.
