Abstract. Kristiningrum R, Lahjie AM, Masjaya, Yusuf S, Ruslim Y, Ma’ruf A. 2020. Fauna diversity, production potential and total economic value of mangrove ecosystems in Mentawir Village, East Kalimantan, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 21: 1940-1953. Mangroves play important role in life. The benefits of the mangrove ecosystem consist of ecological and socio-economic values. However, it is a challenge to discern how the mangrove ecosystem provides a comprehensive economic value. This research is aimed to analyze the Total Economic Value (TEV) of mangrove ecosystems in Mentawir Village, North Penajam Paser District, East Kalimantan Province. This aim will be achieved by conducting fauna inventory, analysis of mangrove wood production potential, social-economic interviews, and infrastructure cost analysis as the inputs to calculate four elements (i.e. Direct Use Value, Indirect Use Value, Option Value, and Existence Value) to sum up the TEV. The research used a mixed-method combining both qualitative and quantitative methods. Fauna inventory was conducted using boat survey method and interviews with local fishermen. Data on mangrove wood production was obtained using the systematic random sampling method by establishing two plots with an area of one hectare for each plot to calculate mean annual increment (MAI) and current annual increment (CAI). The economic value of the mangrove ecosystem was calculated using market price values, replacement costs, and the Contingent Valuation Method (CVM). The results of fauna inventory consisted of 3 species of mammals, 1 species of reptile, 16 species of birds, 25 types of fish, 8 species of crustaceans, and 7 species of mollusks. The economic valuation resulted in the contribution of direct use value with 39.56% in the form of wood (94,875,000,000 IDR) and fishery products (103,500,000,000 IDR); indirect use value with 53.47% in the form of breakwater (38,028,881,407 IDR), abrasion resistance (218,549,528,110 IDR), and carbon sequestration (11,580,313,067); option value with 6.92% in the form of biodiversity (34,690,085,038 IDR); and existence value with 0.05% (241,500,000 IDR). All these resulted in the total economic value (TEV) of the mangrove ecosystem in Mentawir Village of 501,465,307,621 IDR. Therefore, this value can be the basis for policymakers in managing natural resources so that the ecosystem is more protected and sustainable, and can continue to provide environmental services for the welfare of the community.

Coal is one of the most mining commodities to date, especially to supply both national and international energy needs. Coal mining activities that are not well managed will have an impact on the occurrence of environmental damage. This research tried to utilize the multitemporal Landsat data to analyze the land damage caused by coal mining activities. The research took place at several coal mine sites in East Kalimantan Province. The method developed in this research is the method of change detection. The study tried to know the land damage caused by mining activities using NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index), NDSI (Normalized Difference Soil Index), NDWI (Normalized Difference Water Index) and GEMI (Global Environment Monitoring Index) parameter based change detection method. The results showed that coal mine area along with the damage that occurred in it can be detected from multitemporal Landsat data using NDSI value-based change detection method. The area damage due to coal mining activities  can be classified into high, moderate, and low classes based on the mean and standard deviation of NDSI changes (ΔNDSI). The results of this study are expected to be used to support government efforts and mining managers in post-mining land reclamation activities.

Coastal ecosystems on small islands have a large enough pressure to be inversely proportional to a large island due to various resource capabilities and limited supporting factors. Mangrove is one of the ecosystems on the coast of a small island that is susceptible to disturbance because it is close to human activities. This study aimed to determine the mangrove ecosystem management strategy on the coast of the Siak Regency. The research was conducted from July to August 2020 using survey and interview methods. Data analysis used the Analytical Hierarchy Process to determine the mangrove management strategy. The results showed that community involvement is a priority for managing sustainable mangrove ecosystems with the assistance of the Government and NGOs. Management priority factors, namely ecology, while still paying attention to economic, social, institutional, and technological concerns.

Abstract. Sulistyorini IS, Poedjirahajoe E, Faida LRW, Purwanto RH. 2018. Social capital role in the utilization of mangrove ecosystem service for ecotourism on Kutai National Park, East Kalimantan, Indonesia. Bonorowo Wetlands 2: 61-68. Social capital has an important role in mangrove ecosystem preservation. Changes to mangrove ecosystem services can affect elements of social capital. Ecotourism is one of the alternatives that can be developed in the mangrove area in the National Park. The purpose of the study was to give an overview of the correlation between several elements of social capital in supporting ecotourism in mangrove areas. This study was conducted in five villages in East Kutai Regency, East Kalimantan, namely Singa Geweh, Sangkima, Teluk Singkama, Teluk Pandan and Kandolo. There were 530 respondents from the five villages involved as informants or resource persons. The data were analyzed by Sequal Equation Modeling Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS) method with SmartPLS. Based on the initial assessment by the scoring method, five social capital, i.e., trust, networking, community involvement, social norm and concern to mangrove had low criteria to support ecotourism in Kutai National Park (KNP) mangrove area. According to SEM-PLS analysis of the social capital variables, community involvement, social norms and trust had negative effect on the ecotourism. Trust and community involvement were relatively low in the four villages (Singa Geweh, Sangkima, Teluk Singkama, and Kandolo). They were associated with social norms. On the other hand, concern to mangrove, education and income levels and networking had positive effect and power to support ecosystem service of mangrove for ecotourism.

Tourism has been the backbone of Indonesia’s economy in the last three years.Contribution of tourism to national GDP is expected to increase to 15% by 2019. Those target is encouraging the development of tourism in many tourist potential areas, such as Karimunjawa. Karimunjawa is an area of 27 small islands including 22 protected islands within the area (Karimunjawa National Park). The Government has made policies in the development of tourism on small islands. The problem is on the implementation of those policy in Karimunjawa from the point of view of policy maker, policy implementer, and target group (Karimunjawa community). The result of a qualitative research conducted in 2018 on tourism development in Karimunjawa showed that tourism development in Karimunjawa has not been sustainable. Even though it has opened up new jobs and added income to the community, there has been changes of community’s values and environmental damage on some spot areas. There is a need for an integrated plan that involves many sectors and stakeholders. The plan includes spatial planning, calculation of its carrying capacity (ecological, physical, and social), analysis or study on environmental impact, utilization of natural resources in an environmentally friendly manner, and roles and responsibilities of each stakeholder involved in tourism development. There is also a need for visitor quota based on the calculation of carrying capacity as well as additional attractions to increase the length of tourist visits. AbstrakPariwisata telah menjadi backbone perekonomian Indonesia dalam tiga tahun terakhir. Pemerintah menargetkan kontribusi sektor pariwisata terhadap PDB nasional meningkat menjadi 15% pada tahun 2019. Target tersebut mendorong dikembangkannya pariwisata di daerah-daerah yang memiliki potensi pariwisata, seperti Karimunjawa. Karimunjawa merupakan daerah kepulauan dengan 27 pulau kecil di dalamnya dengan 22 pulau di antaranya berada dalam kawasan konservasi (Taman Nasional Karimunjawa). Pemerintah telah menyusun kebijakan untuk pengembangan pariwisata di pulau-pulau kecil agar berkelanjutan. Permasalahannya adalah bagaimana implementasi kebijakan tersebut dalam pengembangan pariwisata di Karimunjawa dilihat dari sudut pandang penyusun kebijakan, pelaksana kebijakan, dan target group (masyarakat Karimunjawa). Penelitian kualitatif yang dilakukan pada tahun 2018 terhadap pengembangan pariwisata di Karimunjawa memperlihatkan bahwa pengembangan pariwisata di Karimunjawa belum berkelanjutan. Karena meskipun secara ekonomi telah membuka lapangan kerja baru dan menambah penghasilan di masyarakat, namun secara sosial telah terjadi perubahan nilai dalam masyarakat dan secara ekologis telah terjadi kerusakan lingkungan. Perlu ada satu perencanaan yang terintegrasi yang melibatkan berbagai sektor dan stakeholders. Perencanaan tersebut memuat penataan ruangnya, perhitungan daya dukungnya (daya dukung ekologis, daya dukung fisik, dan daya dukung sosial), studi AMDAL atau UKL/UPL nya, pemanfaatan sumber daya alam secara ramah lingkungan, serta peran dan tanggung jawab dari setiap stakeholders yang terlibat dalam pengembangan pariwisata. Selain itu, perlu ada penetapan kuota pengunjung didasarkan perhitungan daya dukung dan menambah atraksi untuk meningkatkan lama kunjungan wisata.
