PERSEPSI DAN PARTISIPASI MASYARAKAT LOKAL TERHADAP KEBERADAAN HUTAN DIKLAT SISIMENI SANAM DI DESA SILLU KECAMATAN FATULEU KABUPATEN KUPANG

Hutan Diklat Sisimeni Sanam merupakan suatu areal hutan yang diperuntukan sebagai sarana dan prasarana praktek dalam rangka mendukung kegiatan diklat kehutanan serta sebagai laboratorium alam untuk mengembangkan ilmu pengetahun dan teknologi (Iptek) di bidang kehutanan. Kawasan Hutan Diklat Sisimeni sanam (RTK.185) Pulau Timor secara keseluruhan telah disahkan sebagai kawasan hutan tetap pada tanggal 25 September 1982 oleh MenteriPertanian u.b. Direktur Jendral Kehutanan dengan fungsi sebagai hutan produksi terbatas, sehingga kawasan hutan tersebut telah mempunyai kekuatan hukum. Dalam Permenhut No. 44 tahun 2012, tentang pengukuhan kawasan hutan dilakukan melalui tahapan penunjukan kawasan hutan, penataan batas kawasan hutan serta penetapan kawasan hutan. Kawasan Hutan Dengan Tujuan Khusus (KHDTK) Diklat Sisimeni sanam telah ditetapkan melalui Keputusan MenteriKehutanan No. SK. 367/Menhut-II/2009 dengan luas ± 2.973,20 ha dan panjang 37,94 km. Sebelum ditunjuk sebagai kawasan hutan pendidikan dan pelatihan berstatus sebagai Register Tanah Kehutanan (RTK) 185 kelompok hutan Sisimeni Sanam, dikelola sebagai Hutan Produksi oleh RPH Camplong, BKPH Camplong, CDK Kupang. Kurangnya sosialisasi dan komunikasi dari pihak pengelola dengan masyarakat Desa Sillu, mengakibatkan kurangnya pemahaman danwawasan masyarakat tentang Keberadaan Hutan Diklat Sisimeni Sanam. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui sikap, persepsi, perilaku mayarakat lokal terhadap keberadaan Hutan Diklat Sisimeni Sanam dan untuk mengetahui bagaimana partisipasi masyarakat dalam pengelolaan Hutan Diklat Sisimeni Sanam. Sampel yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah penduduk sekitar kawasan Hutan Diklat Sisimeni Sanam yang berjumlah 91 jiwa, dengan penentuannya menggunakan purposive sampling. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukan bahwa sikap dan partisipasi masyarakat terhadap Hutan Diklat Sisimeni Sanam di Desa Sillu, Kecamatan Fatuleu, Kabupaten Kupang, Provinsi Nusa Tenggara Timur tergolong pada kategori baik (60.93% dan 79,08%), sedangkan tingkat persepsi dan perilaku mayarakat lokal terhadap keberadaan Hutan Diklat Sisimeni Sanam tergolong pada kategori netral (50,92% dan 52,59%)

PENGARUH BERBAGAI KONSENTRASI PUPUK ORGANIK CAIR (POC) URIN SAPI TERHADAP PERTUMBUHAN SEMAI KAYU PUTIH (Melaleuca leucadendra)

Eucalyptus (Melaleuca leucadendra) is the result of a non-timber forest that utilized its leaves to be used as eucalyptus oil (cajaput oil) which will be used as medicine, insecticides and fragrances. The propagation of Eucalyptus is done in order to meet the needs of eucalyptus oil (cajaput oil) in Indonesia. The aim of this research was to determine the appropriate concentration of liquid organic fertilizer of cow urine on the growth of eucalyptus seedlings. This research was conducted at the permanent nursery Fatukoa in January to April 2020. The research method uses Complete Random Design (CRD) with 4 treatments that are A0 (0ml/1000ml), A1 (150ml/1000ml), A2 (250ml/1000ml) and A3 (350ml/1000ml). The parameters of the observation measured are the height of the plant, diameter, leaf number, dry weight and the percentage of life of eucalyptus seedlings. To find out the difference between the treatment it was tested Honestly Significant Difference (HSD). The results showed that application of liquid organic fertilizer cow urine is significantly affected to parameters of plant height, leaf number and dry weight, but is not significant affect to parameters of diameter and percentage of life. The concentration of 150ml/1000ml provides better growth results than other concentrations

KEANEKARAGAMAN TUMBUHAN OBAT DI BLOK PEMANFAATAN TAMAN WISATA ALAM BIPOLO, DESA BIPOLO, KECAMATAN SULAMU, KABUPATEN KUPANG, PROVINSI NUSA TENGGARA TIMUR

Indonesia has various types of flora and many unique varieties of tropical plants. There are about 8000 species of medicinal plants spotted, however only around 800 to 1200 species that have been used as traditional medicinal herbs or jamu. First thing to do before publishing the benefits of medicinal plants is to determine its level of diversity in an area. The introductionof medicinal plants in science can be used as information for making traditional medicinal ingredients that are useful for the community, one of which is the community around the BipoloNature Park.  This research aims to determine levels of diversity and to specify medicinal plants that have been used by locals at Utilization Bloc in Bipolo Nature Park. Data collection techniques are done by deploying vegetation analysis, identifying medicinal plants, and by interviews. From the research conducted, diversity indices of medicinal plants measured by The Shannon diversity index (H') shows intermediate results for medicinal plants at Bipolo Park (1 ≤ H’ ≤ 3). Species richness measured by Margalef Index (R') shows low rank (R’ ≤ 5).Locals at utilization bloc in Bipolo Park utilize 21 species of medicinal plants that they get near by the place where they live. Leaf and bark are the most commonly used part of the plants with total up to 30%

Strategies for Increasing Protection Effectiveness in the Camplong Nature Park Area, Kupang Regency, East Nusa Tenggara Province

Camplong Nature Tourism Park (NTP) is one of the conservation areas in Kupang Regency, East Nusa Tenggara Province. The NTP Camplong area is partially designated as a Nature Tourism Park managed by the Natural Resources Conservation Agency East Nusa Tenggara (BBKSDA NTT) based on the Decree of the Minister of Forestry Number: SK.347 / MenhutII / 2010 with an area of ​​696.60 Ha. One of the management activities carried out in Camplong NTP is protection of forest areas. Protection efforts are faced with various threats, including being located near settlements and public roads, making them vulnerable to habitat destruction. Forest fires, illegal use of area resources and waste disposal are the main problems that threaten the existence of the NTP Camplong area. Based on the Management Effectiveness Tracking Tool (METT) assessment by BBKSDA NTT, the METT score was 69%, from the minimum value of 70%. This study aims to determine the effectiveness and strategies to increase the effectiveness of efforts to protect the Camplong Nature Park area. The research was conducted in July-August 2019 at NTP Camplong. Data collection was carried out by direct observation and in-depth interviews. From the research results, it is known that the management aspects in the form of planning, organizing, implementing, and monitoring carried out in NTP Camplong have generally been implemented even though they have not run optimally. This has an impact on the less than optimal protection efforts for the NTP Camplong area. Strategies for increasing the effectiveness of the management of the NTP Camplong area, namely: strengthening management management; increasing the implementation of area protection and security; coordination with government and legal institutions; as well as increasing community participation in area protection efforts

DEKOMPOSISI SERASAH DAUN AKASIA (ACACIA AURICULIFORMIS) DI KHDTK LITBANG KEHUTANAN OELSONBAI KOTA KUPANG)

Decomposition defined as simple change of physical or chwmical caused by the activity of microorganisms ( soil bacteria, fungi, other land and animals or often called) mineralisasi also is destruction of organic material derived from animals and plants become simple organic of compounds that will be absorbed back into the ground. The measurement of decomposition litter the leaves do by putting a litter bag filled with litter  Acacia leaves as many as 40 gr. Then, liiter bag will be placed at random as much as 30 litter bag around Acacia. The research is done for 3 months from February to April 2020. Litter are collected as many as 10 bags every month and the leaf dry weight was calculated at 75 °C for 24 hours. The measuements result will count with the formula a decline of weight and the rate of decomposition. The decomposition of litter based on the result of budget 8.175 % gr/ months or 98.1 x 10-6 tons/years. The decomposition of litter afected by many the suitability and makroorganisme microorganisms that have been flying to restore to soil nutrient. Then the decomposition of litter influenced by three main factors such as reverse engineered organisms, the quality of litter and the enviroment physic- chemichal
