Social Importance

Forest harvesting affects water management. Total water yield, flow regime and water quality are affected. Usually, in Western Canada, these effects — whether for good or ill — are accidental and are not taken into consideration in management. This is at least partly due to resource management people being resource oriented (technocentric) rather than society oriented (democentric) in their attitudes. Forest harvesting-water management interactions represent a technical problem of ultimate social importance. To cope with this problem requires coordination of resource uses, improved communication and administrative organization, more democentricity, expanded research into socio-economic factors, more attention to long-term environmental goals, examination of land tenure systems, more land use planning, re-orientation of resource management education, a broadening of social conceptual awareness, and increased professional staffing.

AbstractThere is strong contemporary interest in the application of traditional environmental knowledge (TEK) of physical environments and land-use patterns in northern Canada. This interest relates to land claims, land-use planning, cultural preservation, resource management, and environmental monitoring. The application of TEK to land and resource management is critically examined and a typology relating scale, user group, and the transformation of knowledge is developed. Of the many challenges facing the incorporation of TEK in resource-management initiatives, perhaps the greatest is the recognition of the appropriateness of scale. The conclusions reached in this paper reaffirm the notion that scale and context are key components in maintaining the validity and integrity of TEK. The primary role of TEK appears to be with providing the most valid and intelligible interpretations of local geographies and prescribing locally appropriate resource-management strategies.

Sustainable utilization of peatland is required for balancing production and conservation efforts. On peatland, one of the main components to examine sustainability is understanding the carbon balance. This research was conducted in Pulau Burung, Riau, Indonesia, which has a long history of peatland utilization for agriculture. The sets of utilized data included historical data of water management on peatland represented by water table and subsidence rate, next to carbon density of peat soil. The results showed the function of integrated water resource management made the yearly average water table depth is 48 and 49 cm in 2018 and 2019, respectively. The range water table is between 31cm to 72 cm due to season variability and crop requirement. Consequently, the rate of annual subsidence is averaging at 1.7 cm with cumulative subsidence in 32 yr is 54.1 cm. Since the water never drained since the establishment, the subsidence rate of the first five years is averaging only at 3.3 cm yr–1. Low subsidence rates minimize annual carbon loss during the peatland utilization around (30 to 200) Mg CO2 ha–1 yr–1. In 32 yr, the water management in peatland utilization in Pulau Burung has prevented 2 000 Mg CO2 ha–1 to 4 925 Mg CO2 ha–1 loss compared to other cultivated areas in peatland. Further, this paper discusses the practice that resulted in low emission of coconut agriculture in Pulau Burung as one of sustainability dimensions, which support the other sustainability aspects, that is the thriving local livelihood.

The Relationship

Abstract: The legal relations of land tenure, ownership, usage and utilization of agrarian resources still require furtherrestructurization. The economic development during the New Order era abandoned the necessity of the legal differences of landtenure and land ownership, with the legal relations of the collection and utilization of agrarian resources excluding land. Consequently,there are misleading in interpreting the right and permission as a form of legal relationship. These misleading should berectified in the land law draft which will be drafted. The future land law should be able to clearly regulate the legal relations of landtenure, and should be consistently built since the early tenure in the form of occupation, possession, and ownership by the Ministryof Agrarian and Land Use Planning/NLA. Land tenure relationship is mentioned by the concept of land right. Furthermore, it shouldbe confirmed in the Land Law Draft that the relationship between collection and utilization of natural resources are confirmed aspermit, and should not be considered as the basic of land utilization as earth surface. Reclamation set up by the concession holdersfor mining area recovery should not be considered as an “entry point” to legalize land rights.Keywords: legal relation, right, licenseIntisari: Hubungan hukum penguasaan dan pemilikan serta penggunaan dan pemanfaatan Sumberdaya Agraria masih memerlukanpenataan. Perkembangan ekonomi selama era Orde Baru mengabaikan pentingnya pembedaan hubungan hukum tenurial penguasaandan pemilikan tanah dengan hubungan hukum pengambilan dan pemanfaatan sumberdaya agraria selain tanah. Akibatnya, terjadikesesatan berfikir dalam mamaknai hak dan ijin sebagai bentuk hubungan hukum. Kesesatan berfikir ini harus diakhiri di dalam RUUPertanahan yang akan disusun. RUU Pertanahan itu harus jelas mengatur bahwa hubungan hukum tenurial dengan tanah haruskonsisten dibangun sejak penguasaan awal dalam bentuk okupasi (occupation), penguasaan dan pemunyaaan (possession), danpemilikan (ownership) oleh Kementerian ATR/BPN. Hubungan tenurial dengan tanah disebut dengan konsep hak atas tanah.Selanjutnya, perlu dikonfirmasi dalam RUU Pertanahan tersebut bahwa hubungan pengambilan dan pemanfaatan kekayaan alamdikonfirmasi sebagai ijin, yang tidak dapat dijadikan sebagai dasar untuk menggunakan tanah sebagai permukaan bumi. Reklamasiyang dilakukan pemegang ijin untuk memulihkan areal tambang, tidak dapat dijadikan sebagai “pintu masuk” bagi terjadinya hak atastanah.Kata kunci: hubungan hukum, hak atas tanah, ijin

The goal of this paper is to identify the major outlines of innovative, integrated and decentralized water management practices, training, research, and development needs in various aspects of soft path water resource management in developing countries of Asia. The decentralized water strategies including science, regulations, training, government policies, and funding for some of the developing countries in Asian region are reviewed. There are two primary ways or paths of meeting water-related needs; one the “hard” path, and the other “soft” path that complements mainly decentralized and open decision-making, application of efficient technology, and environmental protection. One of the soft path decentralized solution being implemented in many developing countries of Asia is small scale rainwater harvesting and management and both government and non-government sectors are promoting the practice on a regional community and family basis. Overall, the paper aims to contribute to the ongoing development of environmentally sound and economically viable approaches to water management in the developing world.

Daunting Task

Abstract Dhaka the capital of Bangladesh is facing a serious water scarcity problem due to the big gap between demand and supply of water system. When accelerating water scarcities and pollution in and around urban centers are superimposed on issues like continuing urbanization, lack of investment funds for constructing and maintaining water infrastructures, high public debts, inefficient resources allocation processes, inadequate management capacities, poor governance, inappropriate institutional frameworks and inadequate legal and regulatory regimes, water management in the megacities poses a daunting task in the future. To overcome these water related problems, water can be a designing element for structuring future development with the combination of sustainable approaches for social and physical transformation, open up opportunities for water management system. Therefore an integrated approach like integrated water resource management (IWRM) system is required that responds to problems that are all interrelated. Alternate supply and demand management tools such as ground water recharge, rainwater harvesting, effective water pricing, reclaimed water use are suggested to meet the deficit of current supply system through the efficient use of the scarce resources available. Institutional reform and improved water planning are required to facilitate economic growth and social development. Finally, human resource development is identified as key factor for the sustainable effective management of this valuable resource.
