Integrating Community Partnership Program in Cengkeh Afo: A Community-based Tourist Attraction

Cengkeh Afo, a spice-based tourist attraction in North Maluku, is situated in the forest area behind Mount Gamalama. It has the potential to attract both domestic and international tourists through community-based tourism (CBT). The area is managed by the Cengkeh Afo Gamalama Spices (CAGS) community that uses the world’s oldest clove spot as an icon for the Spice Island. The community partnership program (PKM) has been integrated in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, which has had a wide impact on business and tourism. The PKM was integrated to build collaboration among the community for building the CAGS management capacity. Mastering basic English, managing data on tourist visits, utilizing local wisdom related to traditional gastronomy (local cuisine), mastering technology in managing tourism promotion, and understanding the application of the CHSE health protocol in tourism services in the region are among PKM’s goals for partnerships with the CAGS community. The qualitative approach was used in this research. Data were gathered through observation, questionnaires, and interviews in a field survey. The results showed that by working together the CAGS community has met the criteria for communitybased tourism service. Collaboration with research counterparts has aided the CAGS community’s capacity-building in its service. Keywords: Cengkeh Afo, community-based tourism, capacity-buildin

Bianglala Kehidupan Bagindo Tan Labih : Sumando dan Dubalang Tuanku Imam Bonjol yang setia (1799-1888)

Buku berjudul “Bagindo Tan Labieh,Pejuang dan Pemersatu Budaya Minangkabau dan Manado” berhasil kami susun dan disajikan untuk para peminat sejarah di tanah air. Buku ini merekonstrusi satu episode sejarah mengenai peranan seorang pejuang, Bagindo Tan Labieh, dalam melawan kolonialisme Belanda. Sebagai pewaris Raja Ulakan/Kuraitaji, Bagindo Tan Labieh prihatin dengan politik pecah belah Belanda untuk menguasai Rantau Pariaman dan pelabuhan dagang di pantai barat Sumatera. Ia tinggalkan Ulakan dan Kuraitaji, sebagai pewaris raja dan bergabung dengan Tuanku Imam, seorang tokoh Gerakan Padri di Bonjol. Sehubungan dengan itu, dua sumber utama berasal dari dokumen pribumi pelaku Gerakan Padri menceritakan perlawanan terhadap kolonialisme Belanda, baik di Rantau Pariaman, maupun kawasan Bonjol. Kedua sumber itu adalah Surat Keterangan Fakih Saghir ditulis sendiri pada tahun 1829 (oleh Mak Tjik nama panggilan Fakih Saghir) dan Naskah Tuanku Imam Bonjol, bagian pertama yang ditulis lebih awal dari tahun 1849 oleh Tuanku Imam Bonjol sendiri dan bagian kedua ditulis oleh keturunan beliau Sutan Caniago tahun 1868. Sumber lain, adalah buku J.C Boelhouwer, Kenangkenangan di Sumatra Barat Selama Tahun-tahun 1831-1834, salah satu dari banyak buku yang harus disimak isinya dalam rangka merekonstruksi sedekat mungkin keadaan sosio-politik dan budaya Rantau Pariaman dan sekitarnya awal abad ke-19. Buku ini sangat menarik secara tekstual, dapat dianggap sebagai memoar (dalam pengertian terbatas), di sisi lain sebagai salah satu sumber sejarah tentang Minangkabau. Sebagai rekaman sejumlah catatan kenang-kenangan yang ditulis oleh orang Belanda yang terlibat dalam Perang Padri

Did farmers’ livelihood improve? An impact assessment of incorporating forages into the crop-livestock system in the coastal savannah zone of Ghana

The study used programming methods to assess the farm-level impact of incorporating forages, including dual purpose Cajanus cajan (C. cajan), into the crop-livestock system in the Coastal Savannah Zone of Ghana. The system was modeled in GAMS and solved using linear programming. The optimal enterprise mixes and their resultant net revenues with and without the interventions and therefore the change in net revenue were obtained. The intervention was to grow forages as part of the crop-livestock system and feed them to milking cows and their calves for increased milk production and growth. The grain of the forage was used as food by the farmers, and manure from the animals was also used for crop production. The effect of policy options like educating farmers to accept and use C. cajan grain as food and thereby increase its production was analysed. The change in net revenue with incorporation of C. cajan into the system was 50 percent. A 5 percentage points change in the inclusion level of C. cajan grain in farmers’ diet and subsequent increase in its cultivation precipitated a 4 percent change in net revenue. C. cajan was not produced beyond the level required for household consumption and its main attraction seemed to be its food value. The addition of C. cajan into the crop-livestock system of the area improved farmers’ incomes. Increased cultivation of C. cajan may be dependent on the food value of the crop for the household.GAMS, Ghana, Grain, Forages, Agricultural and Food Policy, Consumer/Household Economics, Crop Production/Industries, Farm Management, Food Consumption/Nutrition/Food Safety, Food Security and Poverty, Institutional and Behavioral Economics, International Relations/Trade, Livestock Production/Industries, Marketing, Productivity Analysis, Research and Development/Tech Change/Emerging Technologies,

PEMBERIAN BEBERAPA ZPT ORGANIK TERHADAP BEBERAPA VARIETAS BIBIT KELAPA SAWIT (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) DI PRE-NURSERY

The aims of this study was to determine the effect of several organic growth regulatory on several varieties of oil palm seedlings (Elaeis guineensis Jacq) in Pre Nursery. The research was carried out in the experimental garden of the Faculty of Agriculture, Teuku Umar University, West Aceh, from March until finished. The materials used were Organic growth regulatory in the form of 50 cc coconut water, 50 cc union extract and 50 cc bamboo shoot extract. While the varieties of oil palm seedlings are varieties that yangambi, simalungun and 239 from IOPRI Medan. This study used a factorial randomized block design (RBD) 4 X 3 with 3 replications. Giving growth regulatory (Z) consists of 4 levels, namely: Z0 = Control, Z1 = Coconut water, Z2 = Shallot Extract, Z3 = Bamboo Extract, while Variety factor (V) consists of 3 levels: V1 = Yangambi, V2 = Simalungun, V3 = 239. Observation parameters are increase in seedling height (cm), stem diameter (mm), number of leaf midribs (midrib), wet stover weight (g), number of roots (number) and root length (cm). Keywords: Growth Regulatory, Varieties, Oil Palm, Pre Nursery
